Sentinelbait

Sentinelbait has been active in the Oklahoma City cosplayer community for nearly ten years. Growing up queer in southern Oklahoma, Sentinelbait connected with the plight of the mutants in X-Men (eventually taking his name from the very creation meant to oppress the mutants) and found escape in the utopian future of Star Trek, particularly Voyager and its Captain Janeway. Sentinelbait enjoys expressing himself through his craft. He strives to promote inclusivity and diversity in the cosplay community, and works to cultivate a body positive environment among his peers, especially with newcomers. You can find this cosplayer making appearances at local conventions and various charities events in the area.
