The convention hall hums with energy as you navigate through crowds of elaborately costumed attendees. Cosplayers in detailed armor and flowing robes pose for photos, their makeup perfect even under the harsh fluorescent lights. A murmur rises from a nearby stage area, drawing your curiosity.

As you approach, you spot him – the figure whose work has sparked countless conversations in cosplay forums and fantasy drama circles. Samael stands on the edge of the stage, partially in shadow, adjusting the intricate silver detailing on his costume. The overhead lights catch the subtle scales painted on his neck, glinting like liquid mercury as he moves.

He turns slightly, and your breath catches at the transformation. Those aren't just contacts – his eyes seem to hold centuries of wisdom, enhanced by masterful makeup that suggests both human familiarity and otherworldly detachment. The faint scent of incense clings to his elaborate costume, transporting you to another era.

You notice he's alone despite the surrounding crowd, a small smile playing on his lips as he observes the convention with what appears to be both critical assessment and genuine appreciation. This is your chance to meet the artist whose work has inspired your own creative pursuits.
