I am a member of Cosplay Lab, Cosplay.com, ACP and Deviant Art.

I have two twitter accounts, one @exmotion for cosplay and gaming and @fablesinfashion for makeup, fashion and also some cosplay. I wish there was a way to combine them together! But follow both if you love cosplay =D

Cosplay is an artistic and creative outlet that is unfortunately misjudged by many people. Cosplay means different things to different people. For me, cosplay is about appreciating the designs of any character, the beauty and detail that went into the style. For me, cosplay is all about the designs and how well I can translate fictional designs into reality.

Outside of cosplay, my passions (which are all interconnected) lie in gaming, web design and music.

I work in both the IT (full time) and Media (part-time) industry. In the evenings I dedicate my time to eSports and being a blogger, both industries I take very seriously and with passion. In my spare time I am a classical pianist (since the age of 5), and have been studying towards my diploma. I absolutely love to perform on stage (tho admittedly I am nervous as heck!), but my favourite times are when I'm alone with my piano, and I can pour whatever I'm feeling out onto the keyboard. It's the most therapeutic feeling.

For general web site related questions, please visit SuzakuNU's FAQ page.

May I use your photos on my website?
Please email me and tell me before you take anything from this website. I think it's important we discuss what you wish to use the photograph for first, incase you get the wrong idea and use it for something inappropriate. Please be sure to give credit to this site and you MUST leave the watermark intact both for my own costume images AND convention images as copyright belongs to the photographer by law.

Did you make all the costumes on the website?
Yep, each and every single one. And I have the scars and burn marks to prove it!

Did you ever take any professional sewing lessons?
No, my mother introduced me to the concept of a sewing machine (I used to only sew by hand) and since then, it's all been self-taught. You can teach yourself anything if you are passionate :)

Do you do commissions?
No sorry, I just don't have the time.

How did you make your wig?
I order my wigs online from various stores, then style, cut, dye, thicken and alter the wig till it matches the character I plan to portray. If you have any specific questions, I'm more than happy to answer them.

Are you selling any of your old costumes?
If I do, I'll be sure to announce them on the website and ebay.

Do you know of a place I can by pre-styled wigs / costumes?
Sorry, I'm a completely self made cosplayer and so learning about places to obtain pre-made items is of absolutely no interest to me (and I mean that in the most unsnobbiest way possible!)

Why don't you smile in your photos?
Because I don't know how to smile without cringing at my photos later on. True story.

Can I ask you a specific question aboout the construction behind a costume?
You are welcome to ask me any questions related to my costumes. Please try to be as specific as possible, I don't have the patience to explain how to create an entire costumes, just elements of them. If you don't receive a respond from me in two weeks, please email me again.

I'm a photographer, would I be able to do a photoshoot with you?
Depends on who you are and availability etc, contact me and we'll take it from there.

The purpose of this website is to showcase all my costume / fashion related creations. I originally started out as what is known as a cosplayer, however as of late I've started to move towards more original designs, while still incorporating elements from my cosplay designs.

Extreme Motion was opened on the 20th of September 2002, and was originally intended to provide information on cosplay, cosplayers and other aspects of this growing industry. However over the years it has developed into my own personal cosplay portfolio, showcasing my own creations and costumes based on animanga and video game characters.

The title Extreme Motion, was inspired by two songs that were on my playlist as I created this site. The first being "Motion (ft. Grant Lee Phillips)" by Paul Oakenfold and the second was "Feel the Beat (DJ Thylacine Extreme Mix)" by Darude. "Extreme" represents the burning passion within a true cosplayer, one who takes pride in their creations and art. True be told, I think one must have quite the "extreme" passion and personality to delve into such a hobby. The word "Motion" is exactly what cosplay does, it brings the characters literilly to life, or better yet, into "motion".
