The Cosplay Thread

As an anime fan, I always dream of cosplaying (dressing up as) my favorite anime characters. Unfortunately, I only did obscure characters from non-animes the first two years I went to my local anime convention, and they were a total bust. But the summer before last (last year I couldn't get passes), I cosplayed as Kairi from the popular video game Kingdom Hearts. I was wearing her school girl outfit from Kingdoms Hearts II. Aside from the awful tie (my great-grandfather's old tie covered badly with leftover skirt fabric), I looked pretty good. Rather than post really bad photos of myself in cosplay though, lol...check out my Facebook to see them. PM me if you want added, and tell me who you are. ;) This year I'm doing the same costume, but next year I want to be Amano Ichigo from Yumeiro Patissiere: [img size=100]http://www.cosplaylab.com/lab/4941-212518.jpg[/img] [img size=100]http://misticfreck.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/yumeiro-patissiere.jpg[/img] I also want to be Excel from Excel Saga one year...but I have the feeling that the wig will clash with my skin tone, so I'll have to cosplay as Hyatt. I told Cody that no matter what, he's cosplaying as Nabeshin, even if it means shaving his beard.

Whether you've made the costumes yourself of not, or whether you've cosplayed before or not, you should tell us about it. I'd love to hear about your cosplay dreams.~ :happy:

I have no cosplay dreams. I considered dressing up as the Tenth Doctor from Doctor Who when attending the Chicago Comic Con, but alas, my plans fell through for attending, so it never had to come to that. Also, I need to learn to sew.

I make my own costumes, and the ones for all my friends. :D Last year was Rena from Higurashi, and I have no idea what this year will be. I'm really hoping to do a Fullmetal Alchemist one, but those take a lot of time... something college kids don't have much of.. Also been looking into Melissa from Full metal panic, as it's more of a simple, one day max project.

As the site's resident comic geek, I have cosidered certain characters that I would like to cosplay as... Primarily Deadpool...

I would probably be best as Volstagg... :P [img size=150]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v243/BiteMeTechie/Scan12151-1.jpg[/img] Non-comic? That's fairly easy...

You'd need to smooth down your hair and stuff. And I'll have to be Hermione then ;3 always wanted to be her, she's my hero.

Well, the chances of me making it to any conventions is slim, but I kinda want to dress as Kim Possible for Halloween... Or at least, I did... Then I got a haircut.

I always wanted to be her for Halloween...but always ended up being a witch.

I'm not really a good figure for cosplaying and I don't go to conventions, but in hypothetical land where neither of those things matter, I'd love to rock a Fourth Doctor cosplay, or perhaps Dave Strider from Homestuck, Sherlock Holmes, or Harley Quinn.
