How far does your cosplay plans go?

[Roddy Manic]

Okay, I have almost up 2011 kumoricon.
^^;;;

[jaqua]

Dude, seriously, I'm impressed. I barely plan ahead for anything. I'm (most likely) going to Sakuracon and I haven't even given my cosplays a thought yet. xDD I brainstorm until, like, two months before the con in question, make a few hasty decisions, then start working. My interests change too frequently to want to commit to anything so early...

[Felix]

I need to stop planning so far ahead, for the reasons Jaqua has stated. It's hard to stick to a plan made that far in advance, but at the same time, I need to start a reasonable length of time before the con so I'm sure to get things done. I can't do a half-assed costume, it must be good, or I won't do anything at all. (I'm also most inspired to work on costumes right after the con.)

That said, I've already been talked into succession England for kumori 2011, but that was a group decision. I haven't decided on my others yet.

[Sugarlat]

wow..it's like...a cosplay tree...

[nikkiolie]

I only have plans up to Kumoricon 10 right now. >_> that is quite impressive.

[nekovamp13]

I usually plan what cosplays I wanna do and then decide what I'm doing for the current year/next year...And then just have a list of what I'm wanting to do for the next years...

I already have few for '11 planned...

[~boogiepop~]

I have a pretty standard list of what my cosplays are going to be up to Sakuracon 2011, though this is because for some of the big groups we are doing, we really need to plan in advance.

[Dubaby]

I have a few ideas of what most my cosplays are going to be up until S'Con 2011.... but there are still a few ideas I haven't fully decided on yet. I know I'll have my Sakuracon plans 100% decided on sometime during Winter break. =]

[TomtheFanboy]

I barely think two years ahead, usually when I have to put something off because of money. Mostly at con I think of what I'd rather be wearing and then do that next year.

Though if I don't manage it this year I'm definitely doing a FFVI Cid at 2011.

[nikkiolie]

I hope you can get Cid this year. I want to see it

[Shadow]

WOW, I could never plan that far ahead! XD I don't plan more than a year in advance. I don't get new cosplays often due to needing to put them off for money reasons. But this year I'm getting new ones, so that's always exciting! I don't even know what my plans are for K-con next year LOL. Just depends on money, and what I can do.

[soundninja12]

I keep changing this years plans XP
I do have a few that I want to do 2011 though...

You know what that means, we shall need to make a day a month or so before con where EVERYONE on the forum comes in one of their best cosplays (this years, or old one).  I bet that would motivate not just yourself but many many people to get to work on making an awesome costume.  It would also prove a great socializing environment for those going to con or a chance to meet up for those who are unable to attend.  Hmmm, someplace big with lots of room and space to loiter...

[Malaria]

I have a few scattered plans leading up to Kumoricon 2011, but not all my costume slots are filled out. Like a lot of other people, I like to leave room for changing interests. I probably wouldn't have planned this far ahead if I hadn't been organizing the Succession group, too.

[tofutakeout]

Well for cosplays its all pretty set up but my decision on cons and how far my funds will go is really determining it at this point. I might post a list/image thing later. XD

Pioneer Courthouse Square is a good place, or somewhere along the waterfront. I'm not sure I'd be able to make it to an event, since my summer is looking like it'll be pretty busy, but I'm sure a lot of people would come if you set a date far enough in advance.

Actually, just keeping up with the forums reminds me how much I want to work on them. xD

[Kisitiene]

XD Roddy is like Kris~<3 [/points to sig]
I have up to 2011 planned out. 83
I'd have more planned con wise but I don't know which cons all I'm going to when I move to Portland...

[princessmoon]

I am undecided, and the next con I am attending is Sakuracon 2010... I will brainstorm some more when Winter break rolls around, and I have more time~

But KUDOS to everyone for planning ahead!

[Roddy Manic]

Okay. cosplay listy all fix up and all done. Now... need to talk group into doing Tenchi.. *bricked*

[Kisitiene]

XD Good luck with that! Tenchi isn't very easy. They have some interesting costumes.

[Trumby]

I have a pretty standard list of what my cosplays are going to be up to Sakuracon 2011, though this is because for some of the big groups we are doing, we really need to plan in advance.

Pretty much the same thing for me.

Though only one costume currently planned for Sakura-con 2011.

[oslapedo]

wow..it's like...a cosplay tree...

It kind of looks like a cosplay board game to me.

I don't really plan for specific cons, I just think of all the cosplay I want to do in general so if I ever get materials for it I can do it then. Whatever cosplay I have done is what I wear to cons P:

[MiriaRose]

To 2013.

. . I'm not even kidding. Though a lot of it is subject to change.

[camname21]

Yall crazy with your costumes, I should have you guys make mine for me while your at it making your all the ones you have planed!

[reppy]

I've always wanted to cosplay Sasami since pretty much forever

[tofutakeout]

So this isn't completely official except for the first two con's. The only one's I know I'm going to are S-con, K-con, and Eirtakon. I just wish I could go to all of these. :< And not all the choices in characters are official either.

Meg-Burst Angel Infinity
Rolling Bubbles-PPGZ

Amulet Diamond-Shugo Chara

[Roddy Manic]

To 2013.

. . I'm not even kidding. Though a lot of it is subject to change.

mine are always subject to change too. Life doesn't always work as planned. ^^; and damn, I am going to get to work on 2012 and 2013 now. ^^;;;

I've always wanted to cosplay Sasami since pretty much forever

I would love for that is 2011! *my day has been made to awesome now* Which outfit of hers if you did ever end up doing it?


tofutakeout - YOU!!!! Now I want to go to Orycon '10 as Little Neese!!! Deedlit!!!! and you know old school anime! You kick arse!!!!  and I want to go to Eirtakon '11 now too... So I can be Hyatt and bug Excel... and die and come back... hehe... but there needs to be Ilpalazzo.  and want to go to those... but cant.... and Eirtakon is in Ireland, unless you mean a different Eirtakon then I am thinking of ... no way can I be in Ireland.

[reppy]

I've always been very partial to this one.  In fact, funnily enough that picture was like the second or third picture to come up when searching for Sasami.  A number of years ago (8-9 or more) I cleaned up that picture to get rid of all the stray pixels.  Heh.  Nerd-dom.

I can't imagine I'd be able to pull off anything like this:



haha  

[Roddy Manic]

yes. I love the first


also like this one too though.


and Mahou Shoujo Pretty Sammy is always win!

[camname21]

haha  

This is one of 2 reasons guys watch anime, you cant see it but there is an arrow in my mind pointing somewhere... (and no its not the cute cuddly animal)

[reppy]

Pretty much all of her outfits are cute as heck.  For awhile I was really obsessed with Sasami and collected tons of pictures of her from websites and Usenet.  I even ended up buying several Pretty Sammy animation cels and still have them to this day. ^_^;

[Jacob_Blackfeather]

I have it up to 2012

[Roddy Manic]

I loved Sasami. Mihoshi will be my all time favorite for female from that though. Nobuyuki my favorite male. ^^;

It's so hard to decide the cosplay sometimes though. Always got to add in cost, if you want to be part of a group with it, if you feel comfortable in the outfit, how many times you want to switch cosplay during the con, and so many more factors. And like, I really want a boyfriend or close male friend to do Mouse for me when I am Shampoo. There are some cosplays I want to do when I have my son, or with a boyfriend/fiancé/husband, that I don’t really want to do alone. So, so many factors to think about. ^^;;

[Kisitiene]

I want to do Princess Ayeka one year~<3 She has always been my favorite and I always wanted to be her.
When my brother and I were younger he drew me the characters on paper and we would roleplay with the paper figures. XP Ayeka was used for EVERYTHING.

[SirenMarina]

Just make sure it looks good, I've seen pics of too many shitilly done cosweddings that it would make me think 10 times before doing anything about it.

[Triangle]

Woah, OP that planning tree is impressive. I respect anyone that has the self control to plan more than a year ahead. K'con is the only one I attend every year, but I can never decide WHAT to do until a few months before, because my mind keeps changing. >_<

Like this year I wanted to be one thing, than another, than scrapped those ideas for a really complex one, then scrapped that due to knowing I was overreaching sewing abilities, then went back to the first one, then decided I was ONLY gonna do the second one and now I'm thingking of a third one and agh. My brain hurts.

[camname21]

My brain hurts too reading that small print.

[Ticra]

well, It used to be that a month before con my whole group would go on an insane "WHAT ARE WE DOING???" shopping rant/mission.
However, with five of us, two who can sew and one machine that doesn't work so well...
so it gets more planned the more cons we go to and the more insane I (Not the leader, but definitely the most obssesive and pestering) get.
This year I put together a spread sheet of all of our dream cosplays and things other people want others of us to cosplay, so that we can pick and choose from the list. Most of us have all three nailed down for k-con '10. and even a few for '11.
We've already started, but waiting for christmas money until we go really insane

[LtCommanderRichie]

Well, my cosplay plans extend all the way until next Kumoricon. Dunno if half of them will end up getting done, but it's a worthwhile hope.

[The_Emo_Schemer]

I have plans up to 2012. I keep finding characters I want to cosplay and set a con for them.  There's only like 3, maybe 4 per con.

[animeotakujoanne]

It's hard to say because their are cosplays that I am planning on doing years from now, because I dont quite have the body shape for them yet or I want to get in some more experience before doing them. but specifically its probably around two years (or 4 more cosplays) but it's growing all the time.

[soundninja12]

Every now and again I'll add more and more.
It is approaching the thousands xD

[Konan-ChanX3]

I have plans up to 2014

[YouLikeRice]

I don't even have plans for this year. D:
