can i pass as a kaito???

[lychee-twist]

Freakishly well, I would say.

[Akemi_Idane]

Hey guys!
So, I've actually got some plans in for Kumoricon already, but hey, I like overloading myself and nothing too horribly complicated this year, so I'm considering trying for a fourth.
SO HERE'S MY FACE. (Facebook direct picture link, so it might not workie. I'm not sure.)
And here's the rest of me, plus chest wound.

So far I have Neuro (Majin Tantei Nogami Neuro), Eridan (Homsetuck), and Gumi (Matroyshka). I'm 5'8" and...about 130 right now? It fluctuates.
Any suggestions for not-too-complicated costumes would be great. I'd rather no shonen since that's not really my thing.
Danke!

[Napkinmouse]

Can you try me, too? c: I thought that it would be easier w/ more pictures

I am pretty small and petite (I am 5ft 3 and weigh about 95IBs) My Hair is Shoulder length, but i always keep it in a ponytail - so it looks shorter then what it really is. c:


(<<You can really see the blonde in my hair in this pic)


And here is my ponytail :3

[zenneth]

@napkin mouse- i think you can go for roxas from KH...

[lychee-twist]

Whoah. A really good Roxas.

Napkin, you have a really good face for doing a lot of girl cosplay. I think you'd be a wicked cute Sailor Mercury

[Chibachi Nero]

Napkin - your face reminds me a lot of Syaoran from Tsubasa, too.

[Su Lu]

speaking of Tsubasa, your hair with the ponytail would work for Fai. You could also do do Alois from Kuroshitsuji II or the viscount for kuroshitsuji.

[DeafWord]

Picked this up from certain image boards, but

Any suggestions would be awesome!

[Raveen92]

Ichigo from Nerima Daikon Brothers

[Black~Rose]

thats a lot o.o Thank you haha I was actually planning to cosplay Saiya form Blood+ at one point haha Diva works too though they look pretty much the same. Diva is just paler with blue eyes.

[Coconutty93]

Yeah, I've always wanted to cosplay Diva, she's so badass. Lol. But you had similar hair, I didn't even think to suggest Saya.

[Black~Rose]

well my hair is different now, the bangs are longer so I can style them for Aerith.

[Coconutty93]

Oooooohhhh, okay. Lol.

[Acheron]

Picked this up from certain image boards, but

Any suggestions would be awesome!

You would make an adorable John!

[Jacob_Blackfeather]

Okay, so, I know it's late in the game but I've decided I really want to make another cosplay.
In this photos, I am Rikku on the left.
I am 5'2", and yes, that is my actual hair. It's blonde, but I have cut it since this photo was taken and it goes a few inches past my shoulders now.

I am not opposed to wigs, but would prefer to cosplay as a girl as I am already cosplaying Alois Trancy to help out with a friend's panel.
I make all my cosplays so sewing is no big deal, but I would really like to keep the budget down to...let's say, less than $60?
I'd also prefer to use my own hair, but am open to any suggestions.

Um, as far as games and animes go...I am open to most games, and animes as long as I can get familiar with it but would like to stay with something fairly recognizable but not over done.

Well, I hope that is descriptive enough :3
Please let me know your thoughts!

Oh! And I have other cosplays I can re-use, like my FFX2 Rikku, FFX Rikku, Mitsuki Konishi, Alice in Wonderland, and...I think that is it. But yeah!

Thanks! :>

[SoraKitsune]

Its pretty late in the game to do this. But Im trying to come up with a few more ideas I might be able to accomplish. If not this year then for another con.

http://sukokitsune.deviantart.com/gallery/4072973

Im 5'2 my hair currently goes just below my bust. Im going to be dying it brown. Its currently half blond half brown. I have brown eyes. I dont have money for complex costumes, contacts or wigs, and Im hoping not to cut my hair.

Ive considered a number of people but I wanted to get an idea what you guys think works. If anyone is willing to help this late. :3 please and thank you.

[WorldToast]

My cosplay schedule for this year is already full, but I'm getting anxious to work on something new already.
I'm 5'8", brown eyes, dark hair, healthy weight. My hair is currently styled sort of like a mohawk:


Front View: http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp4x8xcqNV1qkqzvio1_500.png
Better Side View: http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp4x04iFQU1qkqzvio1_500.png.
Sorry for the bad quality, I just wanted to nab a few pics of my new haircut to show my bros, and didn't bother putting on makeup or really trying to get any decent shots.
However, I may grow my hair back out. If I do, it'll look something like this: http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp4w5hPSIX1qkqzvio1_500.png
I can also style my hair. Like spiking it or slicking it back or brushing it to the side. YOU GET THE IDEA...

TL;DR, information on wigs I own:
_{I have a few wigs... A blonde Len wig (http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/108/1/6/maybe____by_kasshokuookami-d3ec146.jpg, not the best picture, but I'm too lazy to look around for something better- asdfghjkl, and also my Len cosplay really needs to be touched up, but it was a last minute thing since my friend wanted to be Rin and needed a Len), a short blonde wig (http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp4vpr333q1qkqzvio1_500.png, I look terrible in these pictures, sorry), a short silver wig (http://th07.deviantart.net/fs71/150/i/2010/332/7/c/halloween_prussia_by_vampire_yuki-d33uhqs.jpg, http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/086/a/8/welp_by_wolf_of_alaska-d3clg52.jpg), a Germany wig, which could be used for any blonde with brushed back hair, or dyed since I somehow doubt I'll ever be cosplaying Germany again (http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/112/9/2/Germany_and_Italy_by_Handy1811.jpg, this was my first cosplay and I didn't have a wig net so ignore the fact my hair is peeking out like a little ****), a short black wig (same picture that I used for an example of what my hair looked like before I shaved the sides), and a short gray-brown wig (don't have any pictures since I've already used it in cosplay before.)
I also have a wig I'm using for Gamzee (Homestuck), but attaching the horns will probably prevent me from being able to use it for any other cosplays.}
/TL;DR
(If you actually go through that sea of links, you're possibly a Saint.)

AS FOR PREFERENCES... I honestly prefer male cosplays, since my fashion sense isn't very feminine. But I don't mind cosplaying females. (Although if I cosplay a girl in the future, it'll be a first time for me.)
I already have Karkat, Gamzee, and Dave from Homestuck, Germany and Prussia from Hetalia, Len from VOCALOID, and Izaya from Durarara!! down, so don't bother suggesting any of those.
ALSO I'M BASICALLY... A horrible person, and I get really excited and generally obnoxious as hell during conventions, so if you personally value and love a character, do not let me touch them with a ten foot pole.

WOW THIS IS INCREDIBLY LONG AND STUPID... If I actually get any feedback, it'll be a beautiful, beautiful miracle.
(Sorry for being so obnoxious, I get really nervous on forums because I want to be everyone's friend, but you can't be everyone's friend, that's impossible. It's like the girl who wants to hug all the cats, except I want all of the forum users in a little basket with little bows around their necks... just sitting there, waiting for me to be their friend... )

@WorldToast: You look like you would do a could Spain from Hetalia.... Or Link from Legend of Zelda.

@WorldToast: You look like you would do a could Spain from Hetalia.... Or Link from Legend of Zelda.

Spain would be pretty hilarious... But I've already done two Hetalia cosplays, so I might want to consider other series before I go for another Hetalia cosplay.
I've been told I have an almost Elvish look, so Link would be pretty cool.
But I'm worried that I haven't played enough of the games. I wouldn't want anyone to get really excited and try to talk Zelda to me, and me just be like, "HAHA YEAH..." while not really knowing what they're talking about.
(But now I'm seriously considering Link. Even though it's not a series I'm that familiar with, it would be a pretty awesome cosplay... )

Well, its not like I know every character in Zelda as well. XD Every one basicly just goes "dfgvrhyea LINK" thats basicly it. One year I went as dark link and only one person knew who I was.... sooo its okay. XD

Link is starting to sound seriously tempting here.
It's even something I could wear to school for Halloween and look slightly less like a weirdo.

Height:  4'11" (I'M SO SHORT!)
Weight: Roughly 100
Body type: Scrawny?? Petite
Eye color: Brown/black
Hair color: Auburnish, with the ends bleached (but I'd probably end up wearing a wig anyways)

[Raveen92]

Sanji from One Piece

[agpgirl]

I've already got 3 cosplays in mind, but i'm still not totally sure yet.. i'm open to new things (:

Headshot . Full Body

AGE: Will be 16 by next con
HEIGHT: 5"2
BODY: Average

DO's: Makeup, wigs, props, crossplay
DONT's: Revealing cosplay, skin-tight cosplay, mini skirts, huge props

NOTES: I'd prefer someone with a hair color the same or close to mine, just to save money on buying wigs ^~^" And I'd really prefer a character that I know, so some anime/video games I know are: Shugo Chara, Bleach, K-ON, Durarara!!, Tora Dora, Special A, Ouran, Haruhi Suzumiya, VOCALOID, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Black Butler, Code Geass, Death Note, Soul Eater, Macross Frontier, Hetalia, and more....

Your really pretty.... You make me think of vocaloids though... I think you would make a WONDERFULL Luka, or Miku, maybe even Rin or Lily.

[zenneth]

@apgirl-- im not sure but, u can try tsubaki i guess-- you can modify the costume here and there to match your preference on how u want it to be less revealing =w=

u can also try and go as maka-- even tho your skin is brown, a friend of mind was still able to pull it off. if u dont like to carry scythes, try asking for a friend to become your partner soul, and go for that piano-gothic look of theirs http://akusesu.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=96#/d1uq3gw
just try and get the wigs accurate and you're ready to go =w=

[Kumi4eva]

So I did this once before, back in 2009, but I will possibly be going to the convention again next year but I'm having trouble deciding.
I wanted to dress as a Disney character, guy or girl, doesn't matter. But I couldn't decide which one (I was wondering if I could pull off someone from tangled but I don't know).


(My eyes are slightly closed, the flash was really bright xD)
I am 5'5"-5'6" and I can do any hair/wig color, though my eye color changes with it. Bright blue for black hair, green for red, and navy blue for blonde. I would order contacts if necessary.
I did enjoy watching anime in the passed; vampire knight, inuyasha, bleach... Etc. And Vocaloid.
I also enjoy video games; kingdom hearts, final fantasy, assassin's creed, left 4 dead...
I love doctor who also.

If I find the costume for the second one, I'll add it to my list of possibles!
It actually is quite perfect... But I don't know about the hair, I'm planning on either growing it out for Esmeralda(Wish me luck on make up for that one) or cutting it way shorter than that for Flynn Rider...

Thankssss very much
And OMG i saw you at Kumoricon lol.. like twice.. but i was afraid to say hi xD

[dark4ever]

Pic of meh

I actually have lots of cosplays planned, but what I'm looking for is a "nighttime" cosplay- something that's nice and light, and above all else, doesn't need a wig. That's the reason my picture is only a face shot >.> After cosplaying Undertaker this year, I learned I needed a cooler cosplayer

I'm willing to dye my hair, but not far from my natural tone. No unnatural colors, please
No revealing outfits- shorts and cami minimum.
For height reference, I'm 5'11". Oh, and I love me some crossplay

[Raveen92]

Trisha Elric from FMA?

[dark4ever]

That's a good idea, except her hair is a bit longer than mine. She has a side ponytail, and I can barely get mine into a regular ponytail...

[Raveen92]

People won't mind. . .
