It seems like only asians can do good cosplay...
I am currently working on a Emuii-tan costume, But I am still in the beginning stages. Could you please tell me the things you like best about ME-tan so I can try and incorporate them? I am so ashamed of all the bad cosplay, so I want to do my very best!!
Added after 4 hours 44 minutes:
... Please ;__;
humm this will take some thought...
The most important part of cosplay is picking a character that you can actually pull off... a fat unshaven man really cant do sailor moon... etc.
let me think about the ME-tan thing tho.... Oh, first off, buy roll cakes to take with you before you go out X3
And a supply of leeks. Always remember the Leek, for it is your Sword.
-w-
As one who have cosplayed as an OS-kun before I can say that you should just be prepared not to be recognized, and that's all ^^
Although, I was both cosplaying as a very obscure character whilst ME is one of the most profilic - as well as the Con's over here not being filled with very...educated people. So you might as well find someone else doing OS-Tans where you go, who knows? ^^
That said, good luck.
ano... well... though I am not a hairy man, I'm not very cute but I'm very little, and I have green eyes. I think that if my wig is awesome enough people won't notice my ickyness as much. My costume is turning out pretty good so far too... Seeing as I can't bring a real loituma on an aeroplane (I'm flying to Sakura-con haha) I've been sort of contemplating how to make one... any ideas? I'm not sure where to get the cake rolls, but I thought it would be fun to pass them out ^o^ I like doing things like that.
Other props I'm considering:
ctr-alt-delete keyboard
Manilla Folder marked 'pr0n' (kinda scared...)
Longcat scarf (just cuz I already made one!! o_o!!)
"I think you need is some recover disk too
-Dos
Yes... perhaps... I think the only thing I'll end up making is the loituma, but I'd like the other things for fun.
ZOMG XD
Im registered for all 3 days of sakura con X3 The seattle convention center is 30 minutes from here so I dont have to fly.
-_- I cant cosplay yet tho.. gah. Hehe but ill have to look for you then! If i see a me-tan, it will prolly be you!
It's a six hour flight for me >o< I was going to bus, but... thats eighteen hours of my life I'd never get back...
If I do a bad job of cosplaying Emuii-san you have to punch me, okay? >:0
D: I cant punch you! Ill just help you fix it X3
I envy you americans for that...where I live there's like 2 acceptable conventions during the whole year, so I don't have much to go on...sad. -__-
But since theres so many you kinda go crazyyyy!! I want to go to them all >_< But I can't because plane tickets are so expensive ;-;
I never heard of any OtaCon being held in holland, so *waaaaaahhhh*
I mourn with you, mai friend.
Btw, is there any acceptable cons held in continental Europe?
Beats me...Sure hope so...America is an expensive destiny to fly to...So is Japan for that matter...
I'd let you share a hotel room with me ^-^
NO ECCHI IDEAS. I'LL SLEEP IN THE BATHROOM. AAH.
I'd sleep on the couch or something... It's impolite to claim your hosts bed... But thanks anyway for the hospitable thought... ;010
Well, you'd have to chip in for the room xD Thats how we manage here, by sticking together. Split a 500$ room between 10 people makes it not so bad. A little crowded, but the only thing you really use the hotel room for is showers >->
soo true... thats how I got through Campzone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campzone) ; me and a mate both in a (friggin' hot) nylon dome-tent facing each other and splitting the food , drinks (Beer, whiskey, vodka, nothing else) and costs... :D
Eleven days in a 3-person tent with your PC, network acces, a big stereo, and 36 bags of chips, 60 liters of beer, a bottle of scotch, and a bottle of whiskey, on a camping with 1700 other gamers... Sooooow cool ;010
o__o that sounds fun as hell. Minus the alchohol xD I'm not to big on that.
Hah! I shun those things...and DreamHack makes me want to puke. >_>
* tilts head *
DreamHack = One helluva huge LAN party. Arranged in Arvika. Wikipedia it if you want.
(http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs25/i/2008/072/5/b/All_of_ME_by_brokenaoshi.jpg)
HAY... What do you think? >///>
so awsome ._.
Touché, Toki.
...Is it bad that I have all of those costumes? ;_;
Yes...FOR IT CAUSES TEH ENVYYYY ~ ;_;
They aren't really costumes though xD The first one is how I normally dress, I just painted the error "!" on a big white t-shirt, and the long cat wasn't hard to make either... The swimsuit one is my actual swimsuit, but I think it'd look better on ME-tan than me... I like to imagine her in it T///T
And I made the school uniform ages ago... I just made a "!" badge out of foam.
Quote from: "NejinOniwa"Hah! I shun those things...and DreamHack makes me want to puke. >_>
Well dah... DreamHack looks like a factory hall, where's the fun in that?.....Campzone is just like camping, but with electricity and LAN in your tent...Think of it as a computerized woodstock...:D
BTW wicked outfits, Toki... ;010
THANK YOU. I LIKES THEM. xD
*stamp of approval*
LIEK THIS THRED >w<
I'll be sure to post whatever else I draw if you like... if theres anything anyone else wants me to draw I'll give it a try :3
Yeah!!!! you could give me an interpretation of ASUS-tan sometime...I can't do heads and faces.... (or body's, arms, legs etc... I did do a nice necklace of the Wifi-ap solo antenna....so far)
ASUS-tan... I'll have to take a look at her ^-^ But perhaps I will.
I can't draw gais btw.
I'll recover my failed attemps and try to post them...(oh god teh shame...)
DATTEBAYO!! * pat * :3

Well i didn't know on the spot how to call Using-gasses-as-clothes-cosplay... :D
Ever heard of The Emperor's New Clothes, mah boi?
-w-
That's about doing some damned good business with a complete moron...:D
Exactly.
And this time we've got WIMENZ, and loads of lulz waiting in a box.
I SAY, LAD, WE WIN THIS TIME
I should have my Emuii cosplay done by sunday. I'll take pictures of it for inspection.
Ur fast.
*additional seal of approval on thread*
I started it last Wednesday I think o.o The hard part was the pattern @-@ It's still not quite right...
Added after 5 hours 34 minutes:
I got mai wig in the mail today! It's very nice... not quite the same color as it was in the picture though...
Hmmm~
I always have one problem when cosplaying. That would be that my hair is too long and big to get under a wig... -_-;
And it's damn hard finding male characters with waist-length hair, too. I'm in despair~ ;-;
eeehm, well there's always..... eeehm.... eeeehm........errrrr......
See what I mean now? ;_;
yeah, and you can't cut your hair off, because that would be an ABSOLUTE waste......You could tuck it nicely under a rasta-hat though...:D
There are ways to get your hair to behave under a wig... I personally havn't mastered it yet, usually I just dye my hair whatever color... but I felt like going all out this time :F
The standard solution, a latex flap to put your hair under, might not work with such quantities of hair. But where there's will, there's a way.
Or: "How hard can it be?"
People can do some crazy things... some craaaaazy things o.o
you don't need to tel me, heh heh heh..... :D
Okay, so theres one OS-tan down! Who should I do next?!?!
How 'bout sum delicious Inu-T? Fits in height as well.
Also, do mind reporting by with some visual results for us.
Added after 1 minutes:
While at it, I'm feeling pretty depressed at the fact that there's no OS-kuns I can cosplay well...my hair is WAY overlimit to be any use there ;w;
Anyone got any ideas?
ooh, Inu-T...
Seconded... ;010
Inu-T or Sonata-sensei! :D
QuoteWhile at it, I'm feeling pretty depressed at the fact that there's no OS-kuns I can cosplay well...my hair is WAY overlimit to be any use there ;w;
Anyone got any ideas?
No long-haired OS-kuns? I thought some of the XP family had some rather long hair....
Hm. That's true, XP-kun has some braidy thing, right?
That's a thought. ^^
Also I could improve my old Visbou-kun costume...could use some of that.
How long is your hair? o.o;;
Hm...somewhere down to the bellybutton-ish. That said, my upper body is long as hell and I'm 186 tall...so it's quite much. Fukken ponytail gets in the way when you do Compáse spinning kicks! >_> I see nothing!
Added after 40 minutes:
(i think that's how you spell it. bloody Portuguese.)
Aw, right... Long hair and h2h combat don't really mix, indeed... :D
Tell me about it. *sip*
Nor does it fit well with male cosplay. I mean, seriously. And ESPECIALLY not if it's damn golden-fukken-blonde. I mean, seriously. The only, ONLY anime character I've ever seen like that is Krad from DNAngel, and if that was the case I'd have to make fukken WINGS too.
Agh. I'm in despair~ ;_;
well, you could do Chii from Chobits...
Long golden hair... plenty there... :D
That's why I said, "MALE" cosplay -.-
Actually I have had enough problems being taken as a guy already, I don't wish to scar myself more. And the scary part would be the fact that I probably might be able to pull it off...disregarding height - and there are some pretty tall girls here, too, so it's not that bad - I'll hardly even need makeup, and years of voice-warping and being the highest first-tenor in all three classes...no, I won't go there. >_> Not now, at least.
(also, Chii is scary.)
ah, right... Been there, too...once...
Right...Finding manly male chars is hard, though...
(Wait, this sounds familiar...)
Most of all, finding manly LONG-HAIRED male chars is insanedly hard.
Ah, that's what i meant....
What?! There are tons of male cosplay with long blond hair
GAORY ANYONE?! DICK SAUCER?! YEAAAAH. * giggle *
Added after 54 seconds:
OH OH. DIO BRANDO!! Do it :3
GOURRY!? Are you telling me to do THAT numb-minded creephead!? GAHWAHAWHAHUGH *dies*
Dio Brando would be a bit awesome, though. WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYN!
DIO!! Yesyesyesyes <3 I am the big fan...
Oh o.o And.. Which Inu-T?
There is only one.
However, there is more than one NT, Inu-T being one of them.
We speak of the DAWG here.
Ooh~ ^-^ Okay. I thought that there was more than one Inu-T.. I'm pretty sure I've seen more than one.. o-o
There can be only one...
And she's darned cute... ;010
WHAT UP, DAWG?
represent, represent... :D
Inu-dogg is in tha house 'yall!
Ah o_o * steps away *
I dropped out of high school to get away from that stuff T-T
I dropped out because the stuff they tought there was so easy it was boring and devastated every single form of motivation...
Oh, and the annoying pubering/adolescent lumps of testosteron were pretty annoying as well...
QuoteOh, and the annoying pubering/adolescent lumps of testosteron were pretty annoying as well...
Tell me about it. -.-
my High School is pretty good guy. eh is crammed with people and dosnt afraid of anything
xD Oh wow... why? Why why.
*gets confused*
How can you "con" a "fuse" when you get "con"-"fused"... :D
Kagamin says: "Oi, you want to talk about this guy's lack of humor for a bit?"
Also, we're REALLLY derailed here. It's gone to the point where I must look at the thread's name to see what it's about. So please. Where were we...?
Cosplay....
*turns to Toki*
So, how are we progressing then?
Well um... o.o; I have to finish my Stephanie cosplay and my Ema Skye cosplay... Then I'll look into Inu-T :3 I also have to do a Kinomoto Sakura cosplay... and a Galaxia cosplay...
I'm sort of booked .-.;;
Word.
Maybe I should start thinking about that XP-kun cosplay then...
o_O wow 4 cosplays before you can think of Inu-T? well that is indeed being booked... :D
But if you manage to get around to cosplaying Inu-T, that would be awesome... (even awesomer if you'd post pics of that ;010)
Well here it is!! (http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs29/f/2008/100/1/e/Recycle____by_HappyAlarm.jpg)
I would post more but I'm lazy @_@ Visit www.brokenaoshi.deviantart.com for more of ME-tan and some 2k-tan and 95-tan.
Nice! ;019
The recycle bin and pose are especially a nice touch- looks like you dropped something in the recycle bin by accident and are trying to remember what it was... and hoping that it wasn't something super important! :D
And considering if I should dive in after it! ;-;
Hm.
Somehow, I think teh glasses break it all somewhat...
And it the angle/set of the dress makes it look kind of distorted.
But, well, I'm not one to talk. I just say get better photographers next time ^^ Otherwise, GJ!
I had to remember to take off my glasses and sometimes it was hard ^ ^;; I am going to get better pictures, and I'm going to redo my ribbons and fix my wig a little. But I think it's a good start. Since I sewed it myself I'm pretty proud ._. Except the petticoat, I didn't make that.

Oooh, Inu-T cosplay? That'd be awesome!
QuoteWell here it is!!
Wow! Good job! I too think that's a good pose in that first pic ^_^
And you say you sewed the outfit yourself? That's incredible, you have a lot of talent with sewing :P
And I see that there were 2k-tan and 95-tan cosplayers, too. Did you guys plan to go together, or was this a coincidence?
Wow, great work... ;010
Great job on the dress too... ;010
It was a coincidence! xD How lucky, ne?
^ Wow, that is lucky. You went to the convention and found your two "sisters" :P
Man, I really need to start to go to these conventions... :D
I really really love conventions ^ ^;; I have dreams about them all the time...
You are so lucky! I wish I could go to an anime convention :(
No cons near where you live, too?
Wow. Seems I'm really damn lucky for where I live, then. ^^
And I thought cons where everywhere, EXCEPT where I live...
Well, i always thought that the anime-culture was in asia and america, but not in europe...
I was wrong... They're (almost) everywhere except where i live... :D
Aww ^ ^;; The thing about America is theres SO many... I wanna go to them all but I'm just a little girl...
Does anyone know Misha from Pita Ten? I discovered I already have half the things I need for her costume, so I've added her to my list >.> I've been wanting to cosplay as her for YEARS.
well, having too many things to choose from is a luxury problem...
(poor people are less often bored since they don't have too many luxuries to pick from, hence i deemed boredom as a luxury problem too...)
Tee hee... It's true. I'm never bored ^-^ I just like doing things too. I wish I could go to more cons but I am poor, but my freinds are great and like to do nice things for me D:
I'm not sure I understand what Smokey said, now that I think about it. Wait yes I do. No. Yes... Kya @_@
I confuse myself sometimes, too...
I meant that people in western countries get bored more, since they have a lot more luxury than people in 3rd world countries...
Yeah I guess thats true o.o I don't understand how people can get bored so often and so easily...
Wel, the dutch word for it explains it a bit, it translates (and i took a lot of liberties here, since it's just the dutch word for boredom) roughly into "havint too much to choose from".
Now i'm not exactly rich, but i do have a lot of projects i want to work, wich means that sometimes i end up doing nothing at all, getting bored and luking around here for new posts...
Hwahaha xD I have lots of things I like doing. I don't get to hang out on the internet quite as often as I like but i only like internet to talk to cool peeps like you :3
Well, i never really spent any time on the net, (except for online games :D) until i found this (a forum with seriousness and 3 -well 4- great things to blabber on about :D)
I always believed that "internet=pr0n", good to see some ppl are still serious out here... ;010
QuoteI always believed that "internet=pr0n"
GRAB YOUR DICK AND DOUBLE CLICK >_>
(sorry, I just had to say it >_<)
Also, SERIOUS BUSINESS.
oh, gawd... i remember that song... :D
Ah... I can't say i'm familiar with that song... o.o;
btw I'm working on renovating my Komugi costume
So far I've only fixed the back (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/KireiToki/IDORU007.jpg)
Toki wants to become an idol >:0 Sounds fun doesn't it!?
GAWD! You do all that by yourself?!
Serious skillz, really...
^___^ Just time and the right materials... The bunny tail is made out of angel hair yarn... it's soooo fluffy softy @///@
Added after 1 minutes:
Ehh? You really think so ._.;; Well... the front doesn't look quite as nice as the back... I made a mistake with some of the stitching and I can't iron it out, but it's not too bad..
*nod nod*
Jealousy~ ;_;
Well, i would love to give it a try, but i would be killed (literally, man i'm ashamed of being dutch) if i were seen cosplaying anything....
I'm actually thinking of, once I get a good costume done that works somewhat in public, go to school wearing it, just for the heck of it.
(i actually did that last year in my Visbou-kun cosplay, since I were going directly to the convention after school)
I wore my Neko-Maido cosplay to school, but everyone already thinks I'm weird... I love my fluffy pink skirts >///<
CURSE YOU TOKI CURSE YOU
Eeeh? ;-; I'd let you wear my pretty petticoat if I could...?
man, i wanna be a cute neko-maid too...
*annoyed sounds*
@-@ I have a white petticoat too...
You really want to see me in trap mode don't you...you cursed tentacly underling! >:3
.-. I just don't want you to be mad at me... * starts sniffling *
*starts walking down memory lane* All the guys in my old class (before high-school) did a Spice Girls number in our final show...that was a fucked up feeling, trap mode on stage... >_>
Woah o.o; Spice Girls no less.
Tell me about it. My hair was a bit shorter then, but still, when we went out on stage and I was like, "Let's go girls!" and the entire theater went silent and then screamed and applauded like crazy - that was a really good scene, man.
Oh wow... o-o;; Sounds like you could have a career as a drag queen...
Nah. Too tall and too unwomanly build for it. My shoulders are wider than widedog's ass, so not a chance.
(Nejin is in denial)
>3> Tee hee hee... I thought you said you wanted my pretty skirts?
Ooooh denial...
That's stage one....
Prepares for what's about to come...
NOT A CHANCE GAAAAGH *runs off*
o.o My clothes wouldn't fit you anyhow...
Wow, that's a fast transition to anger... :D
o.o Ehh? * confused *
Nej's five steps to acceptance
1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance
But don't forget ^4!
Never forget ^4!
Sometimes people don't get past the anger stage! :D
And great Komugi costume, Toki! ;010
Yeah, good job on the costume! You're great at sewing :D
domo ne minna! ^///^
Indeed, said white pettycoat is mine :P dun forget about returning that you whoos *pounce toki*
Toki is gonna move out nearby soon, at least so she told me (purly coincidence* but shes gonna teach me to sew :3 *exited*
Posting~ I ran into Toki at the A-kon convention in Dallas!
Well, less ran into and more like was-glomped-by :P Came out of nowhere!
Wish I'd gotten a picture with her but I didn't notice that it had been her until after she'd vanished into crowd-ness.
But I at least have one picture in my cosplay, and this is a cosplay thread sooooooooo
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/KatzecFuchs/XPTSU.jpg)
Horrible picture I know. :< I have more coming - hopefully soon. Depends on wether or not I can catch my friend before she goes off for the week. Hrk.
This was taken at the Toy Soldier meet in the lobby~ (www.doctorsteel.com)
New face, eh?
You've missed some proper introductions, eh!
*agreeing with Nej*
I haven't found an introduction thread to do me any good when I start somewhere. It usually just gets my hopes up. It's a 'hi welcome here!' and then I never really hear from any of them again. So I decided a while back to just lurk places a little while and then hop on into conversation and it's worked best for me so far.
Unless you're going to drag me by my hair to the intro thread. D:
Drag the newcomer by her hair...
nah. We don't do that anymore. I think.
D:
I, for one, welcome a fellow lurker to these forums.
Also, nice cosplay. Same goes for Toki, which I didn't commented before.
:P no we just throw poke balls and eat them and such
And commence tentacle raep and assimilation...and such.
So yeah, we're...not so harmless, I guess ^^;
Nice XP-tan though. I haet the fact that everyone around me (alas, in the whole bloody NATION it seems) is OBLIVIoblivious to the existence of -tans at all. Shit sux.
Oh, don't listen to them, KatzeFuchs! We're a friendly bunch here, we don't bite. Unless the person in question is edible.
Nice cosplay, though!
all girls are edible OM NOM NOM NOM
need.....more.......cosplay.......
*drops on the floor and rolls over*
Man i needed to go to the top of the page to see what were on about here...
Quoteall girls are edible OM NOM NOM NOM
THAT SO, EH? Then, if this post ends in 5, I get to eat every single forum member!
Don't try to change this into 4-chan...
And, COSPLAY, is not RANDOMness....
;_;
Wha'd-i-do?!
BAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW
Oh, boi....
How the heck do you calm a tentacle monster down without sedating or killing it?
Err...feed yourself to it?
;006
back on topic please...
anyhow, to get back on topic.. one of my pet peeves with cosplay is when people use chinsy fabrics just making it look cheap. For example: People making a FMA state military uniform that use fabric thats thinner then a sheet, or does the gold embroidery with shiny cheep looking metalic fabric. It just looks sooo.. cheap.
I suppose not everyone can be a cosplay god (those cosplayers that look so much like their intended character they could be the characters movie actor for a live action version) but have a little pride people.. those cardboard box, bed sheet costumes are what make me cringe at cons.

That's it, we've now officially killed on-topicness on this forum...
...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH
Nonono, it's still cosplay..... -ish...
Agh, bollocks... We're off-topic...
But i do agree that if you're going to cosplay, it's worth putting some effort in it...
Hmmm.. I am suprised that there aren't more people cosplaying specifically as gundam box man.
My life has been so fukkered up and chaotic that I havn't been able to work on cosplay much ;___; hopfully I'll be able to finish my Xia and Kaolla Su costumes in a week xD Cosplaying as them because summer makes me super tan. I didn't know that the XP-san was someone on the forums at all!!! Kyaaa >w< Thats two people on here that I know personally!! (sort of. 1.5 maybe?)
nice cosplay toki :D
i want to cosplay as OS-tan too, me and some of my friends :D
when i'm finished with it, i'll upload it in here. may i? :D
i myself will be 98-tan ;054
Yes yes yes!! Everyone would love to see!!
btw I've made no progress on Inu-T cosplay sorry gais :<
haha no progress on any cosplay cuz I have no monies!! Comission me please!! I draw and make costumes!! ;-;
This forum is in despair. -_-
great, now we need a thead called "the street corner" so nenjin can stand on it and wave doom sayer signs on it.
and toki ;P If you hurry up and come back to WA Ill pay you to help me make a few :P
what??? no cosplay pics? booooooooouh
<__< did toki never post any pics? I never noticed. Humm.. ill have to check my camera for pics of her to post then.
Scrolling down and reading some of the posts again...
Making an Alphonse costume would be kick ass if done properly...
It would also be insanely hot, heavy, cumbersome, and expensive (a good custom armorsuit'll cost some $2000-3000,-), but you will defintely kick ass...:D and it'll make for both a very durable costume, and a cool statue...
I have costumes to post!! And I have stuff to make my Inu-T cosplay too!!! Soon I will have studio photographs of all my costumes, and I will be sure to share ^_^
Can we use glue this time, Toki? OwO
Glue? o-o;;
toki, post some of your MEtan cosplay pics!
I love cosplay!!!! ;003
Me too!!
I wanna get some good pics first... T-T Rawrrr... I should redo the costume...
Inu-T! Whats a good Inu-T costume? Whats everyone's favorite variation?
I dunno. Isn't it pretty basic aside from the dog details?
I mean, aside from that, it's like a red collar-thing and some blue top-thing. And some hueg yellow hair ribbon.
That's pretty much it.
it's basically...:
Blue Paws (hueg)
Blue tail (white tipped)
Long Hanging Ears
Lots of kawaii

Ah! Sou!! I know exactly what I will do!!
I am starting a business with my freind, and since we're just getting started I'm not supposed to cosplay as anything too obscure because my job is mainly publicist... and we need comissions or we can't make more costumes for me! And she can't go to college... but mostly: costumes >___> So... comission us! Yay! Also, if you saw my ME costume and weren't that impressed don't worry, I made that mostly by myself but my freind is actually really really good, I'll show you the Haruhi costume when it's done.
that was a good costume...
Ah, the good ol' days, when you were on the forum alot...:D
Old good days are old...
I will make more of an effort to be here alots! Wow it's really has been a long time since I joined, it's amazing!
Indeed it has.
Anyhow, dragging your convo from what os tan are you here, a miku costume that lights up and everything would be awesome.
That would take alot of time and money and research though. I'm on shakey ground right now :P I'd also install some speakers and a little MP3 player or something so that Miku music would follow me everywhere.
But miku cos is pretty hard mode, ne~ '-'
eh i think you would do well tho. The problem i always see with cosplays of her is getting the hair right.
Added after 20 seconds:
come to think of it thats one of the top problems in cosplay overall
That's my number one cosplay dilemma, that theres nothing to cosplay as. ;_;
THE AMOUNT MALE CHARACTERS WITH LONG BLOND HAIR IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF ANIME CAN BE COUNTED ON THE FINGERS OF YOUR HANDS, OR SOMETHING
DAMNIT
Too fabulous for my own good. ;w;
do allen shizar from Esceflone?
I am getting really good at styling hair and wigs, but finding a wig that long is just STUPID anyway. Hatsune Miku's hair is STUPID. Miku's face is STUPID! * bursts into tears *
but if I do this right it will be legendary... * sigh *
DIO BRANDO GADDAMMIT.
If you cosplayed as Allen, I'd cosplay as Merle <:3
<_< i dont think my hair will even be long enough for Hitome currently =_= still i liked her more the Merle
My hair could do Miku...but I'm too tall to be a good trap ;_;
Also, I'd go crazy if I was seriously trying to cosplay Dio Brando O-O
Gaaah It'd be amazing ;__;
I like Hitome too, but I think Merle would be more fun. I don't like everyday sort of costumes...
What are those? *confused*
well if you go as a group then it would be a good thing...
but yes, more interesting cosplay is better. If it wasnt for the incradibly long hair required, Rider from Fate is actually about as tall as me.
All the cosplays that would suit me would require a crazy amount of clothing, and then in the end, they're not that popular...
We're all in the same pot aren't we ~w~
Ohh!! I have a really tall freind that said he would cosplay as Berserker with me if I cosplayed as Ilya <3
I desided to stop dying my hair for cosplay and get and style wigs when needed. Much more practical. But for now I'm trying to do cosplays that don't require me to get wigs... @-@
So the Inu-T cosplay will not be completed for a while, I'm sorry :<
Allen

Hitome

Merle

It's just that there arent many Anime characters that would be 6'2'' tall with short, brown hair and with a slight pudge...
(Not that the pudge can be worked away, if required)
Allen, huh.
Hmmmm~ Series? Not seen.
Hey. Toki. What's "really tall" for you guys, anyway? Tallest nation in the world-or-something wondering here.
He is 6'6.6 tall... I know another guy who is taller but he's also somewhat scrawny. But everyone looks tall next to me. Unless I went to japan, then I would be normal sized. But still small. Even in japan I'm a size small ;___;
Hmm~
I guess there are all kinds in the US, huh. I'm "just" 6.2, but that's just above mean for folks my age...huh.
Being tall definitly is a downside when it comes to cosplay =_=
and the show is escaflowne
also, random cosplay photos nao

There are eleven-year-olds taller than me... But I suppose I'm starting to look my age-ish. But my voice really puts a damper that.
lol is that mercury?
no, its hitome :P I think she wore those colors at one point. i think in the movie...
i forget.
anyhow, anime hair styles are unrealistic so its hard to make cosplay hair without looking silly.
as for fate characters, currently the only one I think id pull off well is archer =_= damn that guys tall
Actually not true, anime hair styles are VERY easy to acheive unless it's something like Uma's weird hair ears...
Damn, if I only was a bit shorter, I'd have done Ed Elric...
...a LOT shorter...
...I guess there's a reason why only girls ever cosplay him, huh. _._
So when does this thread derail into a discussion about 300pound Chi's and Sailorbobs?
XD well id rather avoid that conversation thanks.
Personaly, I like to see the cosplays where you look at them and think "wow, they look just like them" like they could be cast for a live action version.
like a couple of german friends of mine:

pretty good Major and Integra from hellsing
Good cosplay eh?

good.. but jebus is that scary. o_o
He looks ready to FALCON PUUUUUUNCH somebody!
More ready to "Show me your moves!" someone, I'd say.
Quote from: "NejinOniwa"More ready to "Show me your moves!" someone, I'd say.
Yes, obviously...

hmm, thinking of wrong movie i guess... ^_^...
o_o i cant unsee what I saw...
Escaflowne cosplay = WIN
Doing more popular or more recent cosplay is overrated. It's kind of tough to stand out as the best Ed Elric (just for example) when there's going to be at least a hundred of them at any con. Gyah, I guess I'm just biased since Escaflowne is one of my faves anyway.
I like doing obscure cosplays like Komugi and ME-tan... not because they're obscure but because cookie cutter characters are no fun to act as... But sometimes it's alright.
Daaaa... daaaaaaaaaaaaa... da... d...
I cant wait to see your Uma cosplay, and the angelic layer one too, :D still working on the cosplay for Kanako tho, but she will be ready for you for sakura con
I would like to see someone doing cosplay!! Especially girl... ^_^
I don't do cosplay myself! I can't sew... ;014
Look in the gallery... there are pics there... but i would like to see Toki's new cosplay.... She's good... ^_^
http://www.cosplay.com/costume/202073/
Ta daaa... can't find any good pictures and we're not doing a photoshoot until it's one hundred percent finished. (we're probably gonna redo the top...)
OMG, Suweeeeeet!!!!!
Can't wait for the other pics....
~MOOOEEEEEE!!!!!
~Nyaaaaaaaa......
oh wow, that is really good :3 I cant wait to see it compleated!
Oh, did you decide what you were gonna do for sakura con? I had some ideas >:3
So far I was planning on doing Uma and Misaki ^_^ What other ideas did you have? Also!

Bleeeegh T_T I don't know if I can consider cosplay a hobby anymore * cry *
;015
WHAT?!
WHY??
I didn't cosplay at the last convention I was at and the only cosplay I'll be doing at Sakuracon this year is Henrietta from Gunslinger Girl but thats just normal clothes for me..
Awww. it can still be a hobby....

There are still some minor adjustments I want to make to this, like I wanna synch the waist a little more and adjust the length of the white panel in the skirt (it looks like too much negative space to me) but other than that this is the first of many of my original design dresses! My hair is filthy in this pic, and I look like I havn't slept in days... because I havn't. AIRPLANES
AIRPLANES?! So you were going to con and noticed a swingset to take a peekchore next to O__o?
Cute pic though, it's great that this thread is finally getting some much-needed on-topic attention! I don't have much specifics to offer, but I would've if I had passed Costuming...><
OM NOM NOM WHY OH WHY IS THERE A MUFFIN THERE, DEAR TOKI I MUST EAT IT NOW ALONG WITH YOUR FLESH AND SKIN AND ALL THAT FLUFF THAT'S ON YOU
...that being said. These are the times when I regret totally sucking at sewing things. I hate going to conventions looking "normal"... >_>
If you look really hard you can notice a muffin amidst all the KAWAII!!!
