<p class="font_8" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">Hey, nice to meet you!</p>
I'm Melina aka Roxy Nightmare and a cosplayer, artist and self-taught costumer based in Dortmund, Germany.
My first contact with cosplay was on a local fair in Essen '06. I did my very first cosplay in 2007 and had no prior skills in sewing nor costume building.
Since then, I learned and self-taughed myself anything about sewing and crafting and over the years I found my affinity to (huge) dresses.
<p class="font_8" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">I make cosplays in genres of Anime/Manga, video games, movies and own creations.
I visit a lot of different conventions and events yearly and travel through all Germany. My wish is to see conventions all over the globe and to improve my skills with every costume I make.</p>
<p class="font_8" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">Wondering how I came to my pseudonym?
It's no big deal at all. Back in the days my favourite game was Kingdom Hearts and my favourite character was Roxas. I also used his name in online games as my characters name and since I'm a girl, people transformed Roxas into Roxy. I just added "Nightmare" (I guess because I am attracted to villains) as sort of a surname ;).</p>
<p class="font_8" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;">Any questions? Feel free to ask!</p>
