Kurgen
Cosplayer, Fabricator/Seamstress, and Content Creator
Welcome! I'm a cosplayer based out of the DFW area of Texas. I used to go by the name Melfina Cosplay.
About Kurgen
I'm Kurgen, and I've been cosplaying and sewing my own costumes since 2004. I created this site to serve as a central hub for my cosplay work, and to document my progress in more detail than on my social pages.
If you have any questions or want to get in touch, feel free to contact me using the form below or email me at kurgenlagann@gmail.com .
​
Head over to my blog to see detailed progress of my cosplay builds, and what I'm currently working on.
​
My portfolio documents my newer works along with older works that I'm still proud of. I have created 70+ costumes to date.
​
I'm also on Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube if you wish to follow my socials.
