Cosplayer Profiles: DAVE VELASQUEZ
I first met Dave Velasquez way back in 2013, during the first run of Cosplay Idol. I think his first cosplay was Robocop and I was so amazed by how he perfectly portrayed the character. For 12 years, he had honed his craft and became one of the cosplayers that had inspired many up to now. In this COSPLAYER PROFILES, we share the cosplay journey of DAVE VELASQUEZ, one of the pillars of Heroes Conventions PH.
