Kamui aka Svetlana Quindt is a German cosplayer known for her many Worbla armor costumes. Her claim to fame includes being hired by Blizzard to create costumes for conventions, flying to international conventions as a special guest as well as publishing her own how-to books.
https://www.kamuicosplay.comhttps://www.facebook.com/KamuiCos/https://www.instagram.com/kamuicosplay/Aside from being notoriously difficult to work with due to her extremely restrictive photoshoot rules, she recently embarrassed herself during her panel on EpicCon.
To sum it up:
>Held a panel about turning cosplay into a business>Spent most of the time bragging about how everything just fell into her lap for over half an hour>Kept making jabs at her husband (who does her paintjobs, taxes, responds to her emails, and manages layout, editing, orders and shipping for her books according to https://www.kamuicosplay.com/2015/11/25/my-story/)>Cut her husband off whenever he tried to answer a question related to his work during the Q&A, took the mic away etc>Brags that she only wrote the books because she got annoyed with all the tutorial requests and is baffled that people really do spend money on what she basically just threw together in practically no time, turned everything into a huge joke at the expense of the poor plebs who throw their money at her>Mentioned that her husband quit his job as an art director to work for her full-time and made fun of how she make him re-do stuff over and over if she doesn't like it.>Eventually admitted that cosplay keeps her so busy that she made her husband write her bachelor's thesis for her and condescendingly gave him asspats for getting her a good grade. (Isn't that illegal?) No. 245365
Going to be honest here, I honestly thought a lot of her rudeness has come from a communication barrier, because I have German friends who come off the same way and they were way worse before they were able to speak any kind of fluent English.
I'm not a huge fan of Kamui because I think there are far more versatile cosplayers (as much as I appreciate her worbla work and I love Blizzard). However, there's so much baseless speculation floating around as well.
>>243389I remember her posting on /cgl/. She got completely unnecessary abuse after she became popular. Classic gulls for getting salty at someone's success I guess.
>>243403She also admitted to doing it when she wrote her blog and felt sorry about having done it.
>>244085>>244891So wait, no evidence? I'm interested in hearing about this if there's proof.
>>244958It's also a thing in Naruto, so she possibly just took some weeby thing she liked the sound of and didn't think about what it meant.

>>243362Her husband also does all the blue print and template designs for her, so she mostly traces and cuts out out his work.

I use to like her stuff but I feel like its the same thing over and over. Bust and undy armor, even if it isn't cannon.
For example, here's her skyrim cosplay. It's suppose to be daedric armor, but it barely resembles it because she used a shitty Nexus MOD for a reference. She said it was to keep her transport load lighter but I feel like that's a lazy excuse due to her being a professional cosplayer. I have seen plenty of people with less skill do the full armor and have no issue.
She gets treated like a goddess, but like
>>245385 said her husband does a large chunk of it. I use to think she was bitch too but honestly it probably is just the language barrier, so I won't hold it against her.

>>245450You do realise he's in on it ?
This is a business tactic, thirsty nerds think she's a genius and amazing, most don't care or know she has a husband. So they buy her stuff to support HER as good fans. They wouldn't support or love her if they knew it was her HUSBAND behind it. She's most likely doing the PR and interactions and gigs while he does the construction.

FFXIV has a big event coming up this weekend, and apparently she's been doing quite few cosplays for it and has been on their reddit a few times. I saw her stuff and at first was blown away by how well made it was. Someone linked a video of a tutorial for making the prop, and I was actually a little surprised that her husband literally did all the work. All she did was cut out some worbla, make a plastic crystal and install some LED lights.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dob9Ec3lr04 Then I remembered she had a thread here and I'm somehow not surprised that she seems to be such a diva.
Also this is one of the cosplays posted, and I was a little worried when no one said anything about the weird shop going on with it.

>>245427Yea your right honestly anon. I was a bit of a fan before so I cut her some slack. She's gotten more stuck up.
>>253571Wow he pretty much did do everything. I wonder if she just shot those scenes of her making small stuff just for show. It's what anon said at
>>245458 because she's a chick she is able to garner a bigger and more loyal fanbase for her husbands work. She's pretty much a prop (pun intended).

>>254922Ah. That explains the flatness I'm seeing on a lot of the parts.
>tfw A-kon just announced her as a guest this yearPart of me wants to meet her still. I'm still on the fence about going this year because of friends not going.
