Hi, I’m Martina and I’ve been building costumes for 3 years. I love the angled and clean low-poly aesthetics of early 3D computer graphics and want to bring them to life with my costumes. Anubis is my third cosplay. The first armor I built, Master Chief, was completely made of paper. I like experimenting with different materials and learning new techniques for every build.

Every year the Polymanga Global Easter Cosplay reunites the world best main cosplayers to compete on the Stravinski stage. This year the battle will take place on Easter Monday, the 22nd of April.
PHILIPPINES
I've been cosplaying for 11 years. I work as an emergency room doctor on most days, and go to cons as a cosplayer on some days. I've joined various cosplay competitions locally and abroad such as the Championships of Cosplay in Chicago,Shanghai,and Singapore, Anime Festival Asia Regional Cosplay Championship, and Asia Cosplay Meet. I love cosplaying,crafting, and meeting cosplayers around the globe.
CONCERT - MONDAY 22 APRIL (EASTER)
Cécile Corbel (Arrietty - Studio Ghibli) will give an exclusive concert of her biggest hits and her new songs, with her beautiful voice and her talented musicians at her side. Don't miss it at Polymanga!
Tell stories on stage through my songs and play for you traveling melodies, are the two thinks I like the most in my harpist-troubadour life. This life helps me to keep this "magic small spark" inside me, the precious one that reminds each one of us our childhood and bring us joy.
This new album follows the path I have been taking so far, from the wild point of Finistère where I grew up, to Japan, this incredible country with which I developed strong bonds since the soundtrack composition of Arrietty animated movie from Ghibli studios.
You will find the Celtic lands as well, Ireland with its gypsies, children voices coming from a dream, and wonderful women songs who do me the honor to sing with me : the japanese woman Misaki Iwasa and the Quebecer Natasha St Pier.
This album is made of tumbleweed melodies, of songs that will make you dance, travel, grow-up, cry sometimes, dream certainly, and fall asleep after a long day...
Like the ocean that sometimes dances, scolds or cradles, "Enfant du Vent" is full of colours and emotion.
It is an happy and traveller album, maternal as well, since for the 3 last years, my musician life has been enlightening by a little boy who gives me wings and constant inspiration.
L'Enfant du Vent is him, me maybe as well, and you for sure who kept a part of childish spirit. Little ones and grown-up ones, on wind wings, I hope you will let you carry by these 19 new songs.

Seth is an apprentice wizard in the Pompo Hills region. As all the wizards, he is an "infected wizard": one of the few living beings that survived Némésis, the creatures that fell from the sky and infect and decimate everything they touch. His apparent immunity made him choose an intented path for him : becoming a hunter and fight against the Némésis.
But more than that, Seth wishes to engage into a quest bigger than just hunting monsters... Surrounded by wizards, he will travel the world, looking for Radiant, the monsters' assumed cradle, under the watchful eye of the terrible Inquisition...
