CCC is thrilled to announce Ketrin Cosplay as its final Cosplay Special Guest for CCC19!

Ketrin is a cosplayer from the Czech Republic. She has been cosplaying since 2011 and although she does not do it for a living, she hopes that she will be able to do that at some point. Ketrin loves armours and weapons and enjoys being a badass. Her favourite part of crafting a cosplay costume is painting with an airbrush and trying new painting techniques.

In 2016 her Uriel cosplay won the award for most elaborate cosplay at EpicCon in Germany. Her greatest experience was her collaboration with THQ Nordic where she had the opportunity to be the official cosplayer for Fury from Darksiders 3. She enjoys a good whiskey and prefers cats ?.
