The "Who should I cosplay as?" thread

[Classy Viking]

@kawaii punkd

Well I'm glad I helped you make that decision.

[Kawaii Punkd]

Yes, the help was very appreciated!

I'll post pictures as soon as I get everything :3 Easy enough, I live by Uwajimaya

[snowshoedtiger]

Ok so, as you can see in my signature I already have 2 cosplays in the making for Kumoricon. My own rendition of the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland and Etna from Disgaea. But, I want to make a third outfit so that I can have a cosplay outfit for each day.
Here inlays the problem. I don't know what to cosplay!
I've got several cosplays in mind and I would love to get your guys opinion:
A.B.A from Guilty Gear
Lady Gaga's "Caution tape" Outfit
&
Taokaka From Blazblue

So please give you opinion on who I should dress as and if you like any other cosplay ideas

I'm:
5'10
Slender (long in the legs)
140-145 pounds
Medium Blonde
Hazel eyed
&
pale (although I do tan alittle in the summer)

This is a picture of myself in my Alice cosplay last year, since then I cut my hair and it is now half way down my shoulders

[KinkyFriedChicken]

^
I think......condering your body shape and face shape....Lady Gaga fo sho~
Or if you feel unsafe, Taokaka. Just because Taokaka is...completely awesome.

[snowshoedtiger]

@kinky:
Tao is pretty awesome. I haven't gotten the game yet but, I have looked up the story and background on Tao and absolutely love her...

[KinkyFriedChicken]

^ She is....by far my favorite character from BlazBlue.
Fortunatly, I am cosplaying from BlazBlue also...as Nirvana. Carl's puppet.

[Dragard]

I've never cosplayed before but I really want to this year.

This is a picture of me:


I straightened my hair in that pic, it's normally curly, and I'm gonna workout during the summer to lose the extra skin. I know since I'm Hispanic and my skin color is brown kinda limits my choices if I want to get it right. I was thinking Sado/Chad from Bleach, but eh...

Some of the anime/games I like are:
Death Note
Code Geass
Bleach
Naruto
Inuyasha
Elfen Lied
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
Zombie Loan
Kingdom Hearts
Final Fantasies I, II, III, IV, X, X-2, XII, XIII
Pokemon
The World Ends with You
Dragon Quest IV and V

I'm willing to use wigs, not willing to crossplay, I can sew decently and my mom is really good so she could help with that, and I don't really mind the money, but it's preferred if I only use around $100 

[oslapedo]

Code Geass is awesome, how tall are you?

You'd make and awesome Chad! That'd be cool to see since he's so rarely cosplayed.

[soundninja12]

@ Sam:
Sad? I AM YOUR CARL, DON'T BE SAD AT BEING MY NIRVANNA

[chelseahavoc]

@dra: if you comfortable with getting a blonde wig youd be a decent beat from TWEWY

[Kawaii Punkd]

I vote for Chad as well, I'm also partial, since I'm cosplaying from Bleach x3

[Dragard]

Thank you oslapedo and Kawaii Punkd, I guess I'll go with Chad then  Oh, but I'm only 5'7" lol.

@chelseahavoc: I wouldn't mind the blond wig, thanks for the suggestion! I'll see if I can make them both, since I plan on going all 3 days. Chad shouldn't be that hard, except for his armor on his arms 

Time to get some more muscle 

[NeonFoxRocks]

Dragard: or roy mustang from FMA, but yeah i could see you as chad pretty well

snowshoedtiger: staying with the FMA suggestions maybe hawkeye or if you want to do something cool and unique Seras Victoria from helsing if you dont mind your hair going a little chop chop ;-)

[Dragard]

Dragard: or roy mustang from FMA, but yeah i could see you as chad pretty well

Oooh! He was one of my favorite characters from FMA! Scar is my favorite, I wonder if I could pull him off O_O? Thanks for the suggestion 

[soundninja12]

This is a thread I would really like to know something about:

Hey look! Soundy wants to know what you guys think I could pull off :3

Yes, I'm really chesty, and hippy >>
BUT I AM LOSING WEIGHT

^ My face

I WILL WATCH OR READ ANYTHING, OR PLAY VIDEO GAMES xP
I also laugh like a Higurashi character, if you can think of one of them xD
I like to cross play, no matter how hard it is to get my chest down xc

[Classy Viking]

@Soundy
Well some characters from Eureka Seven come to mind for you, Mischa and Talho. Or Hibari from Speed Grapher.

[Kawaii Punkd]

Sound, as soon as I saw your first picture I thought Sailor Neptune :3

or Kula Diamond from Kind of Fighters

[soundninja12]

Sound, as soon as I saw your first picture I thought Sailor Neptune :3

I like that, as that's what the wig is for xD

@Soundy
Well some characters from Eureka Seven come to mind for you, Mischa and Talho. Or Hibari from Speed Grapher.

I really like the look of Talho... I SHALL LOSE WEIGHT AND ATTEMPT IT =3=
And Speed Grapher is AMAZING *3* Hibari is awesome xP... now I want to do that one too >.e

[Classy Viking]

@soundy
I try to make awesome suggestions.

[chelseahavoc]

i'll take any sugestions. but only if they are female or have no definate sex.
i love love LOVE masked chars (bluerhapsody and taokaka).
fave animes are: tokyo mew mew, sailor moon, fma, host club, fushigi yugi, excelsaga, hunnyandclover, cardcaptor sakura (and many MANY more)

[thesirensings]

[NARUNIK]

The girl blond elf from Lord of the Rings.

[chelseahavoc]

^ Nuriko. *A*

as in the one that.... goes female because his sister died? ;____; *crys over nuriko and his sister*

[thesirensings]

YES. You will make a lovely Nuriko. And since Nuriko is female for the first half of the series, you won't have to be all manly! Besides, Nuriko is pretty. *w*

[hinata hyuuga]

( srri of  I didn't give much info I'm new)

well u c that my friends think I should rp as hinata hyuuga from shippuden and I'm not sure... But one thing for sure I won't wear a wig unless it's needed(: and I don't know wut else to say.......

[chelseahavoc]

^i think either kagome from inuyasha or rei hino from sailor moon (aka sailor mars for thouse who somehow never saw sailor moon)

[DeafWord]

Hey guys, this will be my first year cosplaying and my first year at a con. I really want to do Spike from Cowboy Bebop, do you think I could pull it off? btw, I'm roughly 6'3", scrawny as all hell (about 145 lbs, my friends constantly poke fun at how I'm curvier than they are ;~;) and I could definitely get my hair the way I would need it to. I'm open to any other suggestions, though :3

[chelseahavoc]

^i isntly think of hicup from how to train your dragon

[Tomecko]

DeafWord - I think you'd make a great Spike! Your hair's already pretty perfect for it, and he's tall. Not that you should limit your cosplays by height!
I'm thinking you'd also make a good Hige from Wolf's Rain, if you're looking for cosplays you won't need wigs for.

[DemonSpawn]

Deafwood - Don't let the fear of maybe not being able to pull it off limit you. Anyone can pull off any character with a little dedication. I think you'd make a great Spike.

Boy cosplayers are rarer than girl ones. Welcome to K-con.

[CLAP_attack]

oah , you remind me of Ben 10 8D

[Jazzmin-anime]

I have no clue who I'm planning on cosplaying as!!!!!!!!

Im a...
Sailor Moon
FullMetal Alchemist
Bleach
Inuyasha
Death Note
Naruto
Code geas
Pokemon
Bakugan
Digimon
Yu-Gi-Oh
fan!!!!!!!! I can't decide who to cosplay as........... Ugh I've looked on all 300+ pages of cosplay shops on google and can't decide witch outfit!!!!!! Any ideas? Oh I'm 5'5 160+ And am pretty tall.

[lychee-twist]

@ Deafword
I think Tomecko has you pegged. You would be an awesome Spike Spiegel. Clap's got a good one for you, too. Both Spike and Ben 10 would be cheap and really effective.

@ Jazzmin
Sailor Moon's got a pretty big group going along with it, so you really wouldn't be alone if that's an issue for you.
Other than that I would think that Pokemon would be good. Digimon would be really fun to see, but it's less likely you'd get your picture taken.

[Blackstar]

additional notes: I have a large muscular chest and I am short about 5,6

[DeafWord]

I instantly thought of Max from Advance Wars

[DemonSpawn]

@Blackstar
I thought of Spock when I saw your face.

[Tomecko]

@Blackstar - With a muscular build like that, you'd be perfect for superhero costumes! I'm thinking Wolverine.

[xRIxKUx]

HEY! My move got post-poned so I believe I am actually attending this year!! =D
 I have absolutely NO idea what to cosplay as !(Go figure).I'm looking for something bad x ass and/or "epic".
 I did Sophitia 2P from Soul Calibur IV ( http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/2/21980/856483-sophitia__2__super.png ) last year, so I am pretty open to almost anything.
 So what do you guys suggest and/or would want to see?
My list so far is:
>Talim (SC4),
>Fran (FFXII),
>Some Dynsasty Warriors character,
>Rikku (Lady Luck or Berserker FFX-2),
>Mew Ichigo (Tokyo Mew Mew)
>that little green chipmunk (The Chipettes)
>or Magician's Valkyria (Yu.Gi.OH!)

Thank kyuu! =D <3

[bluewolf130]

@ bluewolf you don't really have any restrictions >.< i mean small/average stature, can do contacts, can do wigs...
But heres my list of characters I'd like to see:
Horo - Wolf and Spice
Shana - Shakugan no Shana
Saya/Diva - Blood+
Anemone - Eureka Seven
Any Miyazaki character that seems you could do
Crossdress Alucard - Hellsing

I'd love to do Horo! She was actually one I was considering beforehand... I'll take it into consideration! And hopefully I'll have enough time to do it! Thanks!

[soundninja12]

INSTANTLY SAW KICK ASS

[KinkyFriedChicken]

^I agree with that. -w-

@Dana:
I think it's just because you cosplayed Miku but, http://egocentric.free.fr/wp-content/venus.jpg
Lucia from Venus Versus Virus? c: I think you'd be perfect for her.
There were a couple others I was thinking of but they seemed to have left my mind, I'm sorry. D:

My Turn? c:
Caution: May cause bleeding from the eyes.

Hair Currently: Blonde w/ Pink Tips.
Eyes: They seem to change for some reason from Hetrochromia - One Brown, One Green. To plain ol' Hazel eyes.
Higth: 5'2"
Body Build: Skinny/Adverage < Around the middle of the two.
I've cosplayed from,
D.Gray Man [Komui, Debitto]
Pokemon [Likatung, Gloom <Soon]
Naruto [Sasori, Kakuzu, Gaara]
Kingdom Hearts [Saix, Kairi]
Axis Powers Hetalia [Hong Kong]
Star Trek [Bones McCoy]
And multipul other things to come.
Look at bottom signature to see what is coming soon, and what does not need to be said.
I'm fine with wigs, contacts, the works really. 8D
Well, any ideas? D:

[Wuntvor]

@Blackstar
I thought of Spock when I saw your face.

Spock!  No, no, no...  This:



You make a great Oliver Reed, Blackstar.  You could play Bill Sikes perfectly.

[xRIxKUx]

DANA: Your so adorable xD I have considered cosplaying Sheryl once! Lolx As for you, besides Nana? Lolx I think you'd make a super kyute (and accurate) Yuffie from Final Fantasy, Talim from Soul Calibur or even Ayane from DOA =D

[lychee-twist]

additional notes: I have a large muscular chest and I am short about 5,6

Maybe because I'm hooked on it right now, but you'd make a decent John Marston from "Red Dead Redemption".


Saddle up, cowboy. Yee ha.

[Kallika]

Hey guys, this will be my first year cosplaying and my first year at a con.

I'm open to any other suggestions, though :3

If you would be open to buying a long wig (no it's not crossplay) buttt....
woopsy



Oh also...apparently I won't be doing Road anymore and I need a new cosplay...me
I'm 5'4
100 pounds
open to wigs..contacts..crossplay..eyebrow coloring...anything like that if it should cost under 200$

[DeafWord]

@Kallika, I think your link is broken =_=' But you remind me of Talho from Eureka 7 It would be a pretty cheap/easy cosplay, too

[Classy Viking]

@Deafwolf

And you could pull off a great Renton, albeit a bit Tall.

[Kallika]

@Kallika, I think your link is broken =_=' But you remind me of Talho from Eureka 7 It would be a pretty cheap/easy cosplay, too

Ok..here's a image..which will hopefully work..

[NARUNIK]

kalika looks like a nice Goku. If you do him better get a nice wig yo.

[littlemissweasley]

I'm a girl, and I hope you knew. Lol.

Also, I am uber short. Slightly under five feet.

I enjoy the following:
Kingdom Hearts (all of them)
Final Fantasy (Seven and Ten/Ten Part 2)
Naruto
Fruits Basket
Harry Potter
But I am open to others. :3

I have no sewwing abilities whatsoever, but I plan to use ebay and modify if needed. I'll either wear a wig or dye my hair, no prob.
