Why are real looking cosplays so hard to find. ;-; I really do want to cosplay Lina at NDK in 2011. and my son wants to cosplay ValGaav. but I have only found one good Lina cosplay, and it was not for sell. And have found no kid size cosplays of ValGaav. Also, he wants to cosplay Naruto, but I can not find any good ones of his. So so so so so so so so so so so so many Naruto cosplays, but again, only one that I found that looked real was not for sell and not his size. I hate how popular none real looking clothes for cosplays are. I get how cheap for con goers = good. but so many are overpriced for what they are. So many use stock photos that are not their own work too. I am more then willing to pay the extra for something good and worth the money for the fabric and the artist's (yes, I call them artists.) skills and time. I wish I was a seamstress, old school style, where I could easily make a Lina get up. (and maybe a Gourry one for Scott. Hehe. I can dream.) But it will never happen, not unless I will a huge lotto and can offer like $5000.00 or more. I admire those who have the skills and/or resources to do a really looking cosplay. I have seem them, a few at cons I have be at. And on the web from other cons. It is possible. just not for poor little old me. Need to find something to cosplay that can be made easy and look good still. so so so wants to cosplay Lina now though. ;-; and Soooo want to see my son in cute little ValGaav cutness! ;-; I would easily spend $500 or more to get my son a cute ValGaav get up that looks real. Even though I soooo should not spend that kind of money on one little cosplay that has so little clothing to it. or $700 or more on a Naruto one where the jacket is real and not just some thin fabric, but a real, nice thick Jacket like he has with that real fluffyness on the collar and real pants. but I do not have that kind of money right now. ;-;
and now my whine about something that is impossible for me is over. ^^;; I really hope I can come to Kumoricon, but I have a bad feeling it will be at the same time that NDK is.
