Becoming-Bane Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I love to cosplay and I'm wondering if anyone else here does too or even if you just find it interesting. If you do what is your favorite character to cosplay and what are your future cosplay plans? I usually go as a zombie because it's cheap and I'm poor but I'm working on green lantern things right now. I'm pretty excited about them.

Tomu-san Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I've always wanted to, but in the shape I'm currently in the only characters I could convincingly cosplay would be Big Daddy or Buck Godot.

bbundy09 Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I absolutely ADORE cosplaying. I do it a lot during the year, but I don't have as good of designs as other people. I can show you some of my latest costumes! This one was this past fall... and probably the most intricate costume I've done: Captain Falcon. With a little bit of creative thinking, anything is possible 1 Quote Link to comment

JCDenton Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I wouldn't mind doing it if I were in better shape... not a lot of rotund characters (well, none that are cool enogh to want to cosplay) I would definitely do Jin from "Samurai Champloo" once I get back down to 200 or so. I've pretty much got the hair, I wear glasses, I'm normally a bit quiet with a touch of stoicism... yeah, I could be convincing and have fun doing it. Quote Link to comment

kingclumsy Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I've cosplayed before. As Rory from Doctor Who (in my pants) and As a rather hastily assembled Thor. One of the reasons I want to get in a better, bigger shape is so I can do better cosplays (namely Hellboy and Thor again) Quote Level 3 Roller Knight STR:3 DEX: 1 STA:2 CON:3 WIS:4 CHA: 2 Current Challenge: None Link to comment
Becoming-Bane Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hellboy seems like it would be fun to do. Especially if you can make the hand move.

Butterfly Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I would love to say that I cosplay but sadly I think what I do is just playing dress up Would love to go all out at a con sometime. Quote Link to comment

It doesn't have to be perfect it has to be fun. 1 Quote In brightest day, In blackest night, No evil shall escape my sight, Let those who worship evils might, beware my power, GREEN LANTERNS LIGHT!

Butterfly Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'll take that. If you are dressing like a character it's cosplay. It doesn't have to be perfect it has to be fun. When I was younger I used become a Star Fleet officer often. Then I transitioned to an all things vampire and gothic phase. Now there is a lot of Kimono's and anime-esque clothing in my closet. Although I have to admit that my general approach to fashion tends to be what character do I want to be today....the only the that changes is how obvious is it to the world that I'm in character. 2 Quote Link to comment
Oramac Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'm just starting to get interested in it. I found out there's going to be a Con near me in April, which is amazing, since St Louis rarely has Cons that I've ever heard of. I'm a huge Star Wars fan, so naturally my first plan it to be a Sith Lord. It'll be more of a generic one though. I don't have anything like the money to build Revan or Malgus or any of that. Plus, I want my costume to double as sparring gear for my lightsaber training, so that makes it a little more complex. 1 Quote "Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back." - Captain Malcolm Reynolds Current Challenge Also, I Agree With Tank™ Link to comment
