WHO IS LITTLE-AL
A.K.A ALAIN PURNEY
I’m a French Canadian and I’m a Cosplayer, Hobbyist, and Graphic Designer. I’ve studied in Graphic Design at La Cité Collégiale and graduated in April 2012. Not too long after, I started working at SEO TWIST. In 2020 SEO TWIST was acquired and merged with Creative TRND. Since I’ve been working at Creative TRND, my skills and career opportunities have grown more than before. Today I am the Branding and Design Director at Creative TRND.
THE MINIATURE WORLD
I’ve started painting miniatures in 2003. I’ve started painting models from the Lord of the Rings model range from Games Workshop. Then I expanded into Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, and Dungeon and dragon miniatures. Through the years I’ve participated in painting competitions and won many, see all awards here. Today my miniature range keeps expanding and trying out new techniques in painting.
In 2017 I became one of the founders the “Ottawa Kapital Gaming Garrison” a fun tabletop wargaming Group for the Ottawa area to allow people to connect and share their painting, tips, and gaming.
THE COSPLAY WORLD
I’ve been Cosplaying since 2016 to try something different and expanding my creativity. Since then I caught the bug of cosplaying. It allows me to push my creativity and skills to create costumes from anime, video games, movies, etc, to reality.
I then discovered that there’s ICG Masquerade (costume Competitions) at conventions. Where in May 2019, I succeeded in reaching master level. View awards accomplished to date. I then got the opportunity to judge at Cosplay Competitions. In 2022, I was honoured to become the Masquerade Coordinator for Ottawa Comiccon and in 2024 for Anime Ottawa.
The Next challenge now is to try and get the International title.
