Heyla, my first Kumoricon will be this year and I'm going as my most obscure cosplay ever. As such, I thought it would be cool to have a thread where other similar people could be like, "I'm going as X, it will look like this! -link goes here-."
The idea is to both inform people so that more people recognize you! <3<3 (And allow you to gush about your costume. Who doesn't enjoy that?)
But ALSO to help bring lesser known shows/series to people's attention.
Thus, this is mostly aimed at:
a) minor/lesser known characters
b) characters from shows/series not yet licensed/translated
c) characters from series so newly translated not much is known about them
d) series that just flew TOTALLY under the radar but you love them so there!

Myself, I will be going as
Amu Hinamori, the main character from the new manga by PeachPit (DearS, Rozen Maiden, Zombie Loan) called
Shugo Chara--short for Shugogetten Characters ie: guardian characters.
I'm doing her basic punked out schoolgirl outfit, and doing pink hair for the first time! (mine is almost black ^ - ^;;;

It will be AWESOME! Hopefully. The eggs will be the death of me though.
here is my main source pics:

say hi if you see meeee! And check out the manga (vol. 1 available from DelRey, vol. 2 available late August!) if you like punky cute things.
