QUELSIE COSPLAY

QuelsieCosplay, also known as Kelsie, is an award winning cosplay guest from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Kelsie has always displayed an interest in creating and wearing costumes, but the passion took off in earnest in 2017 when she made and debuted her first cosplay at Regina Fan Expo. Kelsie has been a huge fan of video games her entire life and draws almost all of her cosplay inspiration from her favorite games. She enjoys creating costumes that are rich in detail and incorporate a variety of materials such as EVA foam, fabric, leather, faux fur, 3D printed parts, and Worbla.

Kelsie is known for her cosplay work from the popular Dragon Age, Witcher, and Assassin’s Creed series of games; costumes from those games and more have been published internationally in a number of magazines, including Cosplay Realm Magazine and Creative Cosplay Magazine. She has also competed in numerous cosplay contests and has won many awards, including multiple Expert 1st place and multiple Judge’s Choice awards. Kelsie now enjoys being a cosplay guest at shows, where she displays and discusses her work at a booth for con-goers to visit. She also hosts panels aimed at helping educate both prospective and beginner cosplayers.

ALCHEMIST’S ARMOURY

I began my journey in costuming around 2010 making chainmail, making multiple pieces of armour for Halloween costumes and just for fun. In 2014 I began to move into the cosplay sphere with one of my first projects being a foam iron man suit which I wore and entered my first contest.

Since then I have tried many different forms of costume building, be it; foam construction, sewing, 3D printing/modeling, electronics, make-up and wig styling. I love the process of building and creating designs or ideas that I can bring to life.

Along my way I have been awarded two journeyman awards and one master’s award for some of the cosplays I have made, as well being a part of some independent and a Hollywood level film.

Cosplay is my art and has become a great way to meet new friends and find interesting ways to give back to the community.

KID REMINGTON

GELNYTHE COSPLAY

Since she was young, Gelnythe has always enjoyed dressing up as her favourite characters! When Regina Expo first rolled around in 2015, she sat and crafted her very first cosplay of Link from Legend of Zelda. Over 8 years later, she has gone from Con attendee to Cosplay Competitor and her love for small details has earned her not only a Judges Choice award in Edmonton, but has brought awe in the eyes of young children with her hand embroidered Queen Anna costume. You may recognize her from Instagram or Tiktok, but if you’re a local to Regina, you would recognize her beautiful Queen Anna from her work with Storybook Princess Parties! She is a big advocate for anyone being able to cosplay whomever they want  and loves seeing so many of her favourite characters come to life. Whether she is hand painting full cosplays, modifying something from her closet or purchasing a new cosplay that’s out of her skill level, she puts her heart into each cosplay she wears and hopes to encourage and inspire more people to just have fun with cosplaying! She can’t wait to be a guest for the first time ever at Regina Expo and is very excited to answer any questions cosplayers (or not) may have or even just sing and dance with the little ones in attendance!
