ABOUT ME
Hey there,
My name is Louis, also known as Pixel Cosplay. I am 29 years old and currently live in Frankfurt, Germany.
Watching anime and playing video games have been my hobbies ever since my early childhood. Since I was 15 years old, cosplay has impressed me, especially regarding the amount of passion and creativity that flow into this one-of-a-kind hobby.
In 2014, I decided to become a cosplayer myself and now, 10 years later, I own 80 different cosplays from a broad variety of games, anime and manga series.
I love to experiment with make-up and wig styling, as both components have a huge impact on the appearance of a character, besides finding matching clothes and props.
I combine my fitness experience with my passion for cosplay and take my community with me on this journey through my social media platforms. Moreover, I also love to cosplay with friends, old and new ones, as well as motivate and inspire other people along the way.
I am proud to say that during these last years, cosplay gave me the chance to travel all around the world to many international events, as well as work for various gaming companies like Riot Games and Bandai Namco.

Wig Styling
Workshop includes:
- Tools and styling equipment
- How to find trustworthy shops
- How to use Character references
- Practical styling example

Just as make-up plays a crucial role in cosplay, a well-styled wig is equally essential for a successful portrayal. The wig, along with the make-up and the costume, is the key point when it comes to transforming a cosplayer into their chosen character.
Wigs often endure transportation to and from conventions and exposure to various chemicals. Specialized in wig-styling, I’ve successfully completed video tutorials and experimented with diverse styling-techniques.
In this workshop I’ll share insights into achieving a better skill when it comes to wig-styling, drawing from my experience to help you enhance your cosplay transformations. Join me as we dive into the art of creating authentic and character-specific wig styles that truly bring your cosplays to life!

I had the incredible opportunity to cosplay as Heartsteel Ezreal at the League of Legends Finals in Berlin, Germany. It was a fantastic experience and I am grateful to have been an official promoter for both MasterCard and TakeTV during this event.
Being part of such a thrilling gaming atmosphere and representing these esteemed companies was truly an honor. The energy and passion from the League of Legends community in Berlin made this experience unforgettable and I look forward to more exciting opportunities to work with them in the future.

I had the honor of representing Jin Kazama for Tekken 8 at Gamescom 2023 on behalf of Amicata in collaboration with Bandai Namco.
Being chosen to embody such a legendary character in the gaming world has been an absolute privilege. Tekken has been a cornerstone of the gaming community, therefore being given the chance to be part of its legacy felt like a dream to come true.
The Gamescom 2023 experience was nothing short of amazing and it was an absolute pleasure to engage with fellow gamers, enthusiasts and industry professionals.

Back then, alongside fellow cosplayers including Calssara and Kaddi Cosplay, we collectively celebrated the immersive world of Onmyoji by representing various characters. I’m grateful for the chance to contribute to the excitement surrounding this captivating title and look forward to more thrilling adventures with this company.
