Straight from the man in armor himself, the next round of Kotobukiya's table book series Otacool is going to focus on cosplayers from around the world. Danny and Kotobukiya will be working with the Japanese cosplay site Cure to find some of the best cosplayers from around the world.
Next month Danny will open up submissions on the figure.fm site for cosplay photos, and if all turns out well, there may be work for you after this book. I suppose that's because all those involved are putting some serious money behind this book.
If the book turns out anything like the first one, I'm sure I'll fall in love with it all over again. It's currently slated for an April release, so I look forward to tackling it soon after that.
Any of you thinking of donning your costumes and trying to get yourself published?
