Cosplay

[SaetonChapelle]

Considered trying out an NCR Ranger Cosplay, but I dunno how I'd build the helmet + Gas mask.

army surplus? but that shit could get expensive

The helmet would be relatively easy I suppose. Its the gas mask however. I don't know how I'd assemble it.

I know around here there is an army surplus store that offers cheap gas masks as well. Trying to think of methods. I keep looking at the goggles and imagine putting glow lights in them. xD

The goggles would probably be better without the lights. I have to see through them you know, and having bright LED lights on the rims would blind me. I'm thinking for the goggles I'd get a pair of red tinted ski goggles and build around them with plastic card.

There's also heat, so I wonder if I could fit a mini fan inside the mask somewhere.

We've done that before. It's your best bet to attempt, because you will DIE in that thing. Unless you wanna lose so face weight I suppose, sweating is the best option. Might not be for hygiene purposes however.

Ive worn some heavy outfits and although they're pretty, I regret it all the time due to the heat, especially in summer. Only worn a gasmask once and Im not sure I could do it again.

I'm going to an anime convention this weekend and am pretty stoked. This year and last, I've spent the first months of summer break (my college courses end mid-April) working on cosplays to wear to Anime North and have had a great time doing it.
My work is pretty sloppy, but my Deku Scrub costume last year seemed to be received pretty well and I had a blast making and wearing it : D

Spoiler: Here is a picture of that costume

The other person is a stranger
Time stamp is inaccurate

This year I am doing a red Yoshi cosplay (Yes I'm a Nintendo fanboy, yes I am aware that Yoshi isn't anime).

Spoiler: here is the head

My hair wont be visible with the full costume

I'm hoping to have as good a time as I did last year ^____^

discussion value:
Discuss cosplay conventions you had gone to, your cosplays, what you'd like to cosplay, etc.



Also, for any Escapists attending Anime North, I'm taking pokemon challenges.

If you ever decided to do a career in dubstep, you'd have to call yourself DeadY0$h1 XD

It's that awesome!

I feel so left out right now!

These are all really cool.....

I was recently alerted to the fact that one of the pictures I took of my friends cosplaying is approved to get sent to Japan where Blazblue's creator will review it for a potential inclusion in an official blazblue cosplay artbook published by Arc System Works. As you can imagine I'm stoked! XD



If anybody here likes to see how I imagined a playable Kokonoe's character-specific battle intro against Hazama look below:

And here's some other photos of my cosplaying friends. I've not yet done it much myself but you may notice me as the random guy with the long hair/Kamina:

Spoiler

I love the pimp charizard x P

He's not a pimp, he's Don-Charizard. XD

I'm too lazy to cosplay

 

[Leemaster777]

I've never cosplayed before, but if I did, I think I'd like to go as Repo:

Spoiler

Not because I'm overly fond of Repo: The Genetic Opera, but because that'd be a wicked cool thing to cosplay as.

Sir? Have I been knighted by the Internet?

I have the trench coat and black under clothes, growing the necessary facial hair (Expo isn't until September) and I can slick my hair back.

Those glasses are going to be a pain to recreate though, but the final result will all be worth it

Easiest way to creat those, and I'm guessing here, is that you just take the regular sunglasses that are yellow tinted and simply put some either rubber, or plastic that looks like the sides of his glasses then glue it on like you would a Animal Face, such as a Lion's Mouth.

That would probably work.

I can always get some black gloves too.

I'll do the wall dance, show off my moves!

Very nice! Also, you're pretty cute. That helps ^^

Thanks! Hopefully I'll get similar reactions when I attend Supanova next month.

Cosplaying for me goes a little something like this.

Pffft. Amateurs. My cosplay is much better. It has more buckles, so many more buckles.

Omg, I might be going there too! Depends on a few things, but maybe!

Spoiler

I went as HG/SS Morty along with my friend who went as HG/SS Bugsy at Anime Matsuri. She did a lot of legwork on both of our costumes (since I can't sew or style wigs) but I did most of the paper mache and painting.

I'm not even going to pretend I know how to correctly post pics -_-

 

[Sleepy Sol]

I've never had the opportunity to cosplay. I think I could probably play a mean Carl Clover (BlazBlue series) considering my height and build, honestly.

Spoiler: Character in question.

But uh...short shorts? Probably a no go for me. A character that I actually would want to cosplay might be Mega Man Zero.

Spoiler: Here you go

Why am I ok with wearing what seems to be robot underwear but not short shorts? .....Iunno.



Or, I could live up to my name and cosplay as Solaire...maybe. Might do well to gain a bit of weight and height first.

Will probably go on the 16th (the Saturday). Hope to see you there!
