The "Who should I cosplay as?" thread

[Su Lu]

for some reason I think you'd make a good Kurogane.

[Jacob_Blackfeather]

for some reason I think you'd make a good Kurogane.

I actually get that quite a lot I actually haven't done it yet for lack of funds.

[Triallthree]

Well, I already know I'm gonna be KAITO the Vocaloid and Haruka Nanami from Utapri, but who knows? Perhaps I have room for another costume

Hair: Brownish-goldish-redish-hairish
Height: 5'4, I think?
Weight: D< I dunno
Build: Thin, lanky
Eyes: Hazel, but I can always get colored contacts
Interests: Guns, violence, shoujo (woah big difference from the first two), video games, sleeping, rolling around randomly, violin, computers, and stuff.

I like too many animes and mangas to name. To name a few: Black Butler, Utapri, 1/2 Prince, Dogs: Bullets and Carnage, Skyblue Seashore, Beast Master, Skip-Beat, Alice in the Country of Hearts, Zombie-Loan, Soul Eater, Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, Death Note, Psychic Detective Yakumo, Hakuouki: Shinsengumi Kitan, and Fairy Tale. In my book, that's a few. DEAL WITH IT.
Now, for pictures!

I only have a headshot of me because all of my full-body pictures are crap D:[]

I think you would make a really good kahoko from La Cordo D'oro she has really nice hazel eyes. And since you mentioned you like the violin, she happens to play the violin!

Just a thought

[Black~Rose]

I'm curious

[Kumi4eva]

Well, being next to sora made me think of him, you could also dress as kairi or roxas...

I don't know if you've seen doctor who, but get a long ginger wig and you could dress as amy pond.

Something also has me itching towards my little pony... Maybe apple jack or rainbow dash.

You have a pretty face, one that you don't really have a set apperance but rather, you can look like anyone you choose with the right amount of effort.
But yeah, I'm sure there's more but none I can think of off the top of my head.

Maybe rapunzel from tangled, or that one blonde girl from hunch back of notre dame 2

[Maiku]

Thought I'd post here just to see what other people thought.  I have a solid list of cosplays for Sak and Fanime, but I'm always curious what people think I could pull off.

My build is currently thin, but I'm working out so that I'll be more of an athletic build by Sak for Bang.

Cosplays I'm already doing are Kojuro (Sengoku Basara and Gakuen Basara versions), Bang (BlazBlue), and Parn (Lodoss War).

Eyes and Hair don't matter as much, willing to do contacts/wigs.

[Kumi4eva]

Neo. The matrix. I see it very much.
Or some sort of sherlock holmes
or *again* one of the doctors from doctor who.
Sorry if this is very unhelpful.

Edit: Or also the Master from DW.

Well, that worked out very well, then! 

You would make a great rainbow dash AND kairi!

[Kallika]

Ok, now I'm curious because I still needa new cosplay (Anything is fine as long as it isn't a tall character since..I'm pretty short)



Kinda derpy I know...

[Acheron]

I really can't decide between Yuno Gasai (Future Diary/Mirai Nikki) and Himari Takuraba (Mawaru Penguindrum) for Sakuracon 2012, and it's coming up really fast! I really like both of them, but I can't decide who I'd look better as... Any help would be nice!

(Ignore the weird sleeping picture, I took it for an art reference, but it's my favorite recent picture of me. I'm 5' 7'' and 130lbs, if that helps too)

Oh, and does anyone have pictures of the Prinny cosplayers from last Kcon? I remember really liking their costumes, and I was toying with doing something like that.

You'd look good as anything Felicia Day has done. So, offhand, that's Penny (Dr. Horrible), Codex (The Guild), and her Dragon Age OC.

Excited for Kumoricon 2012 <3

[Yuri the Hatter]

I was trying to figure out who I should cosplay. I was thinking of doing lolita but also some other random characters but here is a pic of me so tell me what you guys think. tis my first Kumoricon.

[Kimiski]

I'm debating between two of them.

ME:



POSSIBLE COSPLAYS:

[veraca]

I like the chinese dress girl for you kimiski I think it'd lay on you nicely and look really cute

[bluewolf130]

Ryan (Brunette):
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 175lbs
Eyes: brown
Can grow beard. Simple cosplay is best. Thank you!

Sam (Blonde-ish):
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 195lbs
Eyes: Blue-green
Simple cosplay is also best!
We have a suggestion as human Alphonse but some more options would be great!

Please give suggestions! Much appreciated!

[kittyhumaniod]

My mom is a first time cosplayer, but she really wants to join in this year.  She has some aging(but don't tell her I told you that lol) so I was thinking maybe a older character but...I don't know many older characters so I need your assistant.  Here are some photos. Sorry there big, can't re-size them for some reason. 

[kit2kit]

@kitty: You could always have her be Mom. that way she could be a Homestuck with you, since I don't think she wants to paint her skin XD
Maybe I'll brainstorm some other characters today and come back to you.

Oh, she doesn't necessarily have to read it, that could be tedious. you could just "Tell her about Homestuck" or at least about the character. And maybe for fun about the character you're doing. And if shes curious she'll ask questions and maybe read it for herself.

I was thinking about Cosplaying as Maka or Crona from Soul Eater but I need another Character.
And I would LOVE to Cosplay Madoka but I might wait till I've got a group to go. Anyways, this is me.



I'm a Female, 5'3, Brown Eyes, Dancers Build.

Animes I like: Soul eater, Madoka, Pokemon!, Card Captor Sakura, Chobits, Strike Witches, ect.
I like characters that have interesting outfits, not just the run of the mill kind.

I am willing to, sew a little (I'm not that great), wear a wig, I don't mind buying outfits online.

Also, The pink hair is MY hair, it's not a wig.

[Emirial]

I am having some issues on decided who to cosplay from Trigun, Im either going with Milly or Meryl. My husband is going as Vash so I was thinking Meryl, but he said my boobs are too big for Meryl. Should I just ignore that and be Milly or bind them and be Meryl?

[nekovamp13]

LIGHT, I think you would be a great Maka ^^
I would love to see you (is cosplay Kid)

Vocaloids are cosplayed a lot, but they have so many outfits that I think you might enjoy being one of them.

[4evaRyuk]

Hey, I need some help on who I should cosplay as.
-4'12" ish-Strawberry blonde hair (shoulder length)
-Brown eyes
-Female
Animes I like are Oh! Edo Rocket, Ouran High School Host Club, Lucky Star, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Death Note, Tsubasa Chronicles, Hetalia,  Angel Beats (the list goes on and on). Any ideas? Ok but I'd prefer if I didn't have to buy colored contacts if the eye color is important to the character, I'm short for my age (I'm 13) so no tall characters if possible, I can't sew my costume so I'll be buying it online, and I don't care if I have to buy a wig. One suggestion I got from someone was Sakura from Tsubasa Chronicles but I wasn't sure. Thanks!

[4evaRyuk]

Now I need some help finding my little sister some cosplay. It's not guaranteed that she'll be going but I like being prepared if she does go. She has shoulder-length brown hair, is about 4'5"-ish, brown eyes, and has a swimmer build. Any ideas? She'll need something probably from a children's anime.

[Kumi4eva]

What about something from sailor moon?
I remember that being popular with younger children...
Is spirited away a movie for younger kids? She could dress as the main girl.
There's also pokemon....
I'm not too good with things for younger generation, other than Disney or Dreamworks movies.

[4evaRyuk]

That'd be good, I'll see if she'd want to do Spirited Away or maybe Castle in the Sky or any other Studio Ghibali.

[Teddy_Bearxx]

My little sister is 11 years old and wants to attend Kumoricon. It's only one day so we want to do an amazing closet cosplay for her. Any ideas?

she is about 4'6- 4'10 maybe. and is more on the chunky side.

Maybe she could do a school girl uniform, most animes have uniforms in them. But then again if your doing something amazing that might not  be the best idea.

[Teddy_Bearxx]

Closet cosplay.

[4evaRyuk]

You can make school uniforms from stuff you would normally find in a closet

[Teddy_Bearxx]

Hmmmm. Maybe if I can get meh grandma involved XD Thanks.

[4evaRyuk]

No problem, but I'm not sure if I was really helpful at all. I've done a school girl look a few times but if you wanted to do one from an anime than you might need to do some sewing.

[Kumi4eva]

Not really, she can do a kairi, just buy a white tank top, put it over a dark blue one, then have pink shorts or a skirt. But then, she would need short hair.
She can also be... May? From pokemon... The original series...
Again, just a yellow tank top, blue shorts, and get some red suspenders. Its really easy to find ways to make a closet cosplay, ones that don't involve bringing out the sewing machine.
