Maral Agnerian, better known in cosplay circles as Sarcasm-hime, is an illustrator and costumer with a deep and abiding love for pretty fabrics, beads, and all manner of shiny things. She has been seriously costuming since 1999 and currently competes at the regional Master level. She has won numerous Workmanship awards and relishes the challenge of bringing a 2-D design to life, but also loves the creativity inherent in original designs. She is always looking for new sewing and construction techniques to learn and experiment with, and strongly believes in spreading knowledge and information through the community. |
