I know its early but why not get the ball rolling for this year!

What costumes are we thinking of entering?
I'll be entering Meg from Hercules

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #1 on:** April 26, 2012, 10:30:12 pm »

I'm going to enter a few, but I'm hoping to be either Zuko from Avatar, or Ice King from Adventure Time.

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #2 on:** April 27, 2012, 07:25:03 am »

heck yeah ice king!

im trying for either terra ff6, serah ff13=2 or maybe blue rhapsody again

Drauska · « **Reply #3 on:** April 27, 2012, 07:53:28 am »

Desert Punk for me!!!! Or Wolfwood from Trigun....which ever the chess gods prefer.

JimiJay27 · « **Reply #4 on:** April 27, 2012, 08:44:34 am »

I'd like to enter my Silent Hill Homecoming Nurse or Taokaka from BlazBlue CS.
Of course, it would mean having to finish Tao

dark4ever · « **Reply #5 on:** April 27, 2012, 06:57:43 pm »

GLaDOS from Portal (maybe with a Wheatley) as well as Sho Minamimoto from The World Ends With You :3

Hikari-Alice · « **Reply #6 on:** April 29, 2012, 04:06:43 pm »

For me, it all depends. I'll either enter my secret cosplay or Doll from Kuroshitsuji. Or maybe even Alois.

Pixie · « **Reply #7 on:** April 29, 2012, 10:37:18 pm »

I'll enter as Maid!Dragonite, and I'm currently trying to rope in a friend to cosplay silver (the rival) from Pokemon gold/silver/crystal.

Zensuke · « **Reply #8 on:** April 30, 2012, 09:29:38 am »

I plan to enter as either Squall in his Seed uniform or my new Shadow from FF6

baka-imouto · « **Reply #9 on:** April 30, 2012, 04:59:47 pm »

I'll be entering as Sohma Momiji from Fruits Basket!! I'm working on a special attack right now!
If that attack doesn't work, I'll be entering as Hitsugaya Toushirou from Bleach

TsunderePrussian · « **Reply #10 on:** May 02, 2012, 02:15:00 am »

I'll probably either enter as Celty Sturluson from Durarara! or The Handmaid from Homestuck....or Saeko Busujima from Highschool Of The Dead......or Robot Aradia from Homestuck...
I want to actually try to apply for the cosplay chess at Kumoricon this year. (Especially since last year I forgot, and at Sakuracon this year I had to actually step down from my position in the cosplay chess because I had to leave earlier than I originally planned.)

V.K.Lover93 · « **Reply #11 on:** May 02, 2012, 11:38:07 pm »

Hi! I am new to Kumoricon but 2011 was my first year and I have read alot about Kumoricon for a few years. In my first visit, I fell in love with everything speically the Cosplay Chess so I am finishing my costume so I can join in on that fun and also join in on the Cosplay Contest too!

"I am Holo the Wisewolf!" ~Holo from Spice and Wolf

That is right I am going to enter as the beautiful sassy Holo from Spice and Wolf! I hope I can finish in the next month so I can get pictures up so I can enter.

@random · « **Reply #12 on:** May 02, 2012, 11:42:01 pm »

^ Good luck, and welcome to the con family. We're glad you decided to jump in.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #13 on:** May 03, 2012, 11:51:55 am »

Remember people, we don't have mics (unless they decide to do it this year), so be sure you can act as your character by doing movements, not speech.
And practice doing exaggerated movements.

It might be nice to actually have a panel about ways to entertain during Cosplay Chess. If I get help, I'd be willing to help run it.

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #14 on:** May 03, 2012, 12:24:24 pm »

^ this!

but i decieded im going to enter terra. i got a prop sword for her that im gonna "fantasy-up"

and welcome v.k.! i wish you luck and i simply must see your holo!

dark4ever · « **Reply #15 on:** May 03, 2012, 02:35:25 pm »

I've been looking for a small, hand held megaphone like Sho has throughout TWEWY (when he keeps shouting at Neku and company), so if I do get it, whether I'm GLaDOS or Sho or even if I'm not accepted, I'll lend it to one of the teams. If someone else gets one, then the battles could have speaking (if they want it).

I've never done cosplay chess before, but I'd love to be a model if you decide to do a panel like this! I've done small acting pieces with school, if that's anything to be taken into consideration! Oh, I'm also willing to act out most anything, from fighting to just being in character!

V.K.Lover93 · « **Reply #17 on:** May 03, 2012, 11:43:24 pm »

Thanks everyone!!!

I am so excited and it's almost done with it I am working on my ears. Pixs are coming soon!!

Syaoran_Sakura.Kinomoto · « **Reply #18 on:** May 07, 2012, 10:04:08 pm »

so um question. is the cosplay chess reg at the con site or on the website or both?
o-o

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 07, 2012, 11:45:30 pm »

It's not up yet, but they post it in this section. Because they choose everyone before con, there isn't any signups at the actual con. The only thing that they allow last minute is if you get chosen and you have a friend who you want to join you either as a partner or an attack.

So, plans have changed and I'm not being Zuko. But I'm going to be Bolin and I'm hoping to have a Korra and Mako! And if we have time and money we may make their Probending uniforms!

baka-imouto · « **Reply #20 on:** May 08, 2012, 07:40:20 pm »

My special attack props will work, but I'm not sure how to color my lollypop.. Rainbow swirl, pastels, jawbreaker splatter look... Any suggestions? The second piece to it will be a light pink, so probably not that color.

DasBombadillo · « **Reply #21 on:** May 23, 2012, 01:28:12 pm »

Right, so after considering it for years I'm finally gonna put my name in for cosplay chess this year. Only problem I've got is figuring out which of my characters would work best for it. Currently my cosplay plans for con are: Saeko Busujima (Highschool of The Dead), Erica Fontaine (Sakura Wars 3), a steam/diesel-punk Chinese airship pirate, and a Hetalia OC for Argentina.

My thinking right now is that Erica would be best, though her special attack would probably involve maracas, ala this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVOHQbXD-Cg

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #22 on:** May 23, 2012, 03:05:03 pm »

now considering entering sailor moon

JRock · « **Reply #23 on:** May 28, 2012, 06:04:15 pm »

Oh man, I would love to enter as Finn from Adventure Time if I can get my costume done; and I've been told I can pull off girlish screams quite well.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #24 on:** May 28, 2012, 06:16:15 pm »

Definatly going to sign up as Bolin with my Mako and hopefully Korra! We'll be doing their Probending outfits!!! Will be pretty awesome!

I also have Ice King, and it'd be awesome to be him, but I'm wanting to wear Bolin Day 3, so he's really my only option....

I also might see if I can get a friend to be a Kigarumi of Pabu and jump around as him ^^

Syaoran_Sakura.Kinomoto · « **Reply #25 on:** May 30, 2012, 06:37:12 pm »

Considering of entering my Male Black Rock shooter to this cosplay chess this fall!
:333

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #26 on:** June 03, 2012, 11:07:52 pm »

I'm still deciding on which costume to do, and I have a question.

One costume I was considering I can only do for Chess Master because of it's unwieldy size. The costume requires prostetic arms over my own, making my hands too large to actually use the pieces. If I decide to apply for chess master, would it be alright to bring in a third person I can instruct to move the pieces for me?

dark4ever · « **Reply #27 on:** June 12, 2012, 07:33:38 pm »

I know I'm going to be submitting Sho (since the cosplay should be done by next weekend), but I'm only going to submit GLaDOS if my girlfriend gets her Wheatley costume together. Also considering submitting Irene, since the riding crop is just a little too fun to swing around, and I could always get a syringe and take the needle part off, so I could pretend to drug people.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #28 on:** June 14, 2012, 10:47:25 pm »

So I submitted my panel for doing Improv Fighting for Cosplay Chess. I really hope it goes through, and I recommend anyone who is interested in doing Chess this year stop by.
You might learn new things and I will be needing volunteers.

You stole my friend's idea. But it never hurts. I hope Marcy will get accepted if/when I enter her.

VictorianMess · « **Reply #30 on:** June 16, 2012, 12:24:12 am »

I'm thinking of either entering Sakura from Tsubasa or Sharon from Pandora Hearts. It'll be my first year doing cosplay chess.

CLAP_attack · « **Reply #31 on:** June 21, 2012, 12:07:41 pm »

Maybe I should join as Sasuke from Sengoku basara ! or be the support piece for my bro since he'll also be from sengoku..
OF mAYbe Guy cecil from Tales of the abyss :3 then I can run away from all the girls.
..
Not sure yet might not this yearr

Raveen92 · « **Reply #32 on:** June 21, 2012, 10:50:04 pm »

Since I am stuck In alabama all summer without any cosplays except Lust and a Lolita dress. I'll sign up as lust and wish for the best.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #33 on:** June 22, 2012, 01:09:29 pm »

So lots of change of plans....
My group isn't doing the Legend of Korra trio anymore, at least not for Kumo

So I have Ice King, and then my friend and I will be Zuko and Aang. I'll be entering those for Chess. I may just put Aang in b/c I'm wanting to wear him Day 3 anyways with the rest of my Avatar group, but yeah.

Also, more reminders to check out my panel! Only reason I'm advertising is b/c it is useful for this. It is a panel about improv fighting and ways to be more entertaining in Cosplay Chess. I'm hoping it's Day 1 so be sure to look for it!

Syaoran_Sakura.Kinomoto · « **Reply #34 on:** June 27, 2012, 06:55:08 pm »

I might enter as Male Saber from Fate/Prototype is I could find a MASTER in time QQ... if not then it's Male Black Rock

dark4ever · « **Reply #35 on:** June 30, 2012, 07:52:19 pm »

If I get accepted for this, I'm going to have way too much fun dying... I took a stage combat class winter term and got pretty awesome at falling on my back 8D

rukavampireknight · « **Reply #36 on:** June 30, 2012, 09:04:45 pm »

My sister will be entering as umbreon and I might be entering as espeon it just depends if I can get the costume done in time.

hyperkineticenergy · « **Reply #37 on:** June 30, 2012, 09:44:04 pm »

I'm also entering either umbreon (with some personal customization) or Izaya from Durarara... I'm not sure which one yet. I guess whichever gets done first!

RonitheBear · « **Reply #38 on:** July 01, 2012, 09:30:17 pm »

I'd love to enter as fem!Castiel from Supernatural if possible, though I'm unsure of how this all works. I'm guessing an official thread will be put up at some point?

It wouldn't hurt to have two Finns! And I can't wait to see your Marceline

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #42 on:** July 06, 2012, 10:29:12 am »

^ Awesome!!!

Also, they only choose one of each character, so if you have more than one cosplay you want to enter, I'd suggest doing so.

rukavampireknight · « **Reply #43 on:** July 08, 2012, 08:50:35 pm »

So i hope to enter as bliztle I have the outfit ready i just need to make and add the stripes, head piece, and ears

So my girlfriend is on board for this, so she and I will be doing a GLaDOS/Wheatley piece, and I won't apply with Sho. I'll still bring my mega phone with me, though, just in case.

CLAP_attack · « **Reply #46 on:** July 24, 2012, 12:09:00 am »

So I'm not going to have Aang anymore, so I'll just randomly submit some of my outfits I know I can do attacks for.

Ice King and Anti-Cosmo will be in there. LET'S GET BAD VS. GOOD!!!!!!!!!!

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #48 on:** July 26, 2012, 01:17:45 pm »
