What to expect at FurryPinas 2018?
Ever wonder what the furry hobby is? Furries, in brief, are any animal characters which have been given a human-like personality. The hobby can be in the form of arts, literature, games, shows, toys, and many more. It is not a dog show nor is it a scientific convention but in fact a pop culture convention for the love of furries.
The Great Furry Cosplay Contest. This is the first time in the Philippines that a cosplay competition is focusing on characters which are furries. What’s even unique is that they give additional points to creativity and unique depictions of said characters, like neko-ified or mecha versions. You can come-in as Beerus from Dragon Ball, Kurama from Naruto or even one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
