ITT: Characters you've always wanted to cosplay, but know you wouldn't be able to pull off. Also, that's a lot of cleavage for me.
>>10454248Buy or make a fake breast plate. I doubt many people would try to cosplay this without one.
I'd love to cosplay Amir from Bride's Story, but the vast amount of embroidery is way beyond my skill level.
>>10454248My favorite characters (Casca, Anthy, Athena from Aria) are dark skinned and I'm not.I'd rather see accurate cosplays.
>>10454385I remember I read somewhere something that goes along the line of "Every person has one character that they can cosplay perfectly". I fear the one for me is someone that I will hate, since I cosplay characters that I really like.
>>10454398This is why I don’t care about “accuracy.” Often people who find their “perfect character” become one trick ponies who just cosplay one character for the “uwu u are like them in real life!!” attention. Just cosplaying what you like and feel comfortable in like you are already doing is preferable i m o
I really want to do sailor SaturnBut as a tall black chick, I'd be a much better pluto especially of i want to do a group shoot
>>10454633sailor moon would tell you to cosplay as sailor moon in this situation, i feel.
>>10454664*saturn, my bad. i just mean they're pretty wholesome characters, so they'd tell you to follow your heart~ and such.
>>10454248I'm too lumpy for her, but man if I could find the self-discipline to tone my body I know I could have fun. Also, I think I'd pass away on the spot from showing that much skin, but I've always dreamed of finding a work around that like mesh or slightly altering the design. Alas, until that miracle happens I will just appreciate her as artwork.
>>10454633I agree with the other anon, Usagi would cheer you on. I understand how wanting to protect your spot in a group shot can affect your decision though. It's a shame that you even have to worry about that. Groups can be so catty, it's unfortunate. I hope you find a group of girls that really embody the senshi attitude and hype your Saturn up.
>>10454403This. The techniques to create such a drastic transformation to become someone who looks nothing like you is part of the fun anyway.
>>10454809wear a flesh-tone suit under the main pieces of the suit
>>10454828That's not a bad idea! Do you think it would take away from the costume?
I'm the sort of pale that looks dead awful with pale blonde/white wigs, so this won't ever happen. Maybe one day I'll find someone who'll let me make her for them, and I'll make Nono to match.>>10454353If you ever do pick her up, some advice from someone that started to make her and then realised that they hate long and short stitch, working with embroidery materials that aren't DMC threads is a good idea, and will save you so much time.
>>10454248literally almost any and every character because I'm just too fucking bizarrely proportioned and irreparably ugly
>>10454385Same, a lot of my favorite characters in media are dark skinned and I'm very light skin/ often the wrong undertone. I almost feel like it's even more of an issue when the skintone is a huge factor in a simple charadesign.
>>10454633I feel ya. I've always wanted to do a knock down amazing Serenity dress. But I'm black and tall and now old so I am like....mehBut let me tell you one thing. Don't be like me and wait.Do it.Do such a beautiful job with the wig, accessories, and tailoring that you are the best Saturn. Cause it is all kinds of awesome when you show up to a group shoot looking immaculate despite not being a perfect body match.People admire that shit and the high you will feel from it will encourage you to try more costumes you think don't suit you.Characters I'd do but would never be able to pull it off:Ignis - FFXV9S - Nier
>>10454385>>10454916Who cares? Dark skinned people cosplay as light skinned characters all the time.
>>10454973>>10454916Make a kickass cosplay and go for it. I’d rather see talented cosplayers who are passionate about the character they cosplay than screen accurate cosplayers wearing something because it fits their look any day
I'm too muscular an fat for him. >_<
>>10454385>>10454916just do blackface lmao
If I was a girl, I'd make the mech body with myself coming out of it.
>>10454858She's amazing. Could you modify the color of the wig a bit to suit your skin tone better? Either hand coloring it or just having it in an ashy shade of pale blonde perhaps? You should totally make Nono if you don't do this one. Diebuster is so fantastic and there's not enough cosplay from it.
>>10454248Any JoJo character since I'm a manlet.
>>10455030Koichi was made for you.
Sadly I am a guy and I have a fat frog face so I know I wouldn't be able to do any justice to her
>>10455030>>10455051Please anon. Koichi. Serve
>>10454843It's what a majority of cosplayers do for her decode outfit, imo it's never a bad idea to wear something that smooths out skin coloration differences. I also don't think it'll change much of the design to make the back and front pieces connect at the sides with a white part, like how the original birdy design has. you could also connect them with side pieces that are a transparent version of whatever material the back/front pieces are so it "looks" like they're separate, but aren'tI really like birdy, the decode design, and the show, I'd love to see more cosplays of it!
>>10454809I've seen people suggest building onto a dancer's bodysuit like the other anon mentioned. I'm also too lumpy for Birdy, but I'd love to cosplay her.
I don't have the drive to make it nor the funds to commission it.
>>10455092>>10455103Thank you for talking it through with me, anons. I really feel inspired to reconsider cosplaying her. I hope if I ever do that you get to see a picture!
>>10455051>>10455030There is also Shigechi. And maybe Narancia?
>>10454897>almost anyWho can/have you cosplay/ed?
No one would call me fat but I’m not stick skinny either so I feel awkward cosplaying most characters
>>10455508Just remember that the average cosplayer is too self-conscious about themselves to really pay that much attention to anyone else's cosplay unless they're really good or really bad.
>>10455257What is this from? Such a cool design. You might not have the drive or $$$ atm but that could change in the future! Hope you're one day able to do it
>>10455487only one trap as a "haha meme" and one JoJo character. I feel like they're the only ones closest matching to my weird retard proportions, female or male, but even then they're either really beautiful or really expensive or really /fit/.
I mean, how do you cosplay a tall robot like that? Possibly speaking "human" versions would make me look like some weeb fan that is obsessed with the character and is cringe worthy.
Because I'm not a girl.
>>10456788you srs? 80% of touhou cosplayers are men.
>>10456624based zz cosplayer
Will probably be super uncomfortable to wear and too much damn work to make it not look like garbage.
Would be extremely cool. Would also be extremely difficult because I have zero experience with armor making.
>>10456788what matters in cosplay is your heart, not your dangling bits.
3 options>Get fat>Make a silicone fat suit>Become a heavyset powerlifterI could do a fit version of him, but what's the point?
>>10457638It's definitely not a beginner project, but honestly I think it's an awesome project to work towards. I know that I can't do my dream costume with my current skills but it encourages me to continue grinding to one day feel confident making it with my own two hands.
the wig scares me and I'm chubby girl. maybe if i lose some weight
>>10457801madara isn't especially lanky or anything and his armor covers it up, anyway. I think the wig is a bigger issue than the weight. do you actually intend to have a basho prop?
>>10457804true, and I'd like to. I'm not very experienced with prop making but it seems doable and would be a nice touch
I've always loved Raven. I'd love to cosplay as her. Alas, I'm a 6' 4" man trapped in eternal bear mode. And my petite girlfriend would bully me. Fuck, I just want to be sexy, god dammit.
>>10457805no clue myself. i agree it seems doable, not having any moving pieces and all. I'm not sure what kind of strap or holster or whatever you'd need to carry it on your back. I doubt you want to constantly hold it.
>>10457855>my petite girlfriend would bully merelationship goals
>>10457855Get a girlfriend that will support you
>>10457794Yeah it's really one of those "maybe one day" projects.At least I have access to a 3D printer and some 3D CAD skills, which should be helpful if I ever decide to try it.
>>10456788you could just do a gender bender of the charecter thats what i do sometimes
>>10457883yeah i'd definitely have to work something out or plan on only carrying it around the con for a while. the armor might make a harness or something like that problematic but i'm sure I could figure something out. I'm really considering trying to do this now that i'm thinking about it
How the fuck do you pull this off?
I want to cosplay Ahiru but I am neither cute nor graceful and the wig seems like it would be super hard to do.
Might go for this for Halloween. Everything seems (reasonably) easymodo except for the wig (Which I night commission) and green shorts. That and I’m (not too) fat for the cosplay.
>>10459903I cosplayed Ahiru for my first handmade costume and it was a really good experience even though my costume was shitty. I feel you on the gracefulness part. The wig was the least difficult part for me. The costume, specifically finding a tutu that wasn't too costumey but also not priced like a real ballerina's tutu was the hardest part. If you're ever up for a moderate challenge, I'd say it's definitely worth it to see the excited expressions of people recognizing what show you're from.
im not muscular enough to do her justice and my boobs are way too big for it to look accurate in the original outfit.
Someone already did an amazing version of this and I know I don't have the patience for the body paint, the arm needles, and I'm on the chubbier side so the tiddies would be a whole lot more KABLAM than I'd like... but damn if I don't love this game so much.
>>10459903I've always wanted someone to cosplay Ahiru and be purposefully shitty with ballet poses, like she is normally. /cgl/ used to be REALLY butthurt with Princess tutu cosplays
>>10457855Tell your girlfriend to go as Robin. That would be a cute couple cosplay!
Rackam from Granblue Fantasy is a cool dude, I want to cosplay him. Unfortunately, I have literally no experience with cosplay beyond the crappy cardboard Bionicle costumes I made as a kid. Doesn't help that the other stuff I want to cosplay (Monster Hunter and proper Bionicle cosplay) is significantly more complicated than this dude.A friend of mine recommended I start with something simple, like Splatoon, since that's what she did, but I kinda want to get experience making armor.
For three-fifths of a second I thought it might be possible as a two-man operation with a vertical prop, but there's just no way.
>>10460665What is this from, it looks hype
>>10460668Chainsaw Man, an ongoing manga in Weekly Shounen Jump.
>>10460665>not just using a zentai suit and affixing all the prop bits onto yourself and using a mask.
>>10457884>>10457891>>10460386Ya'll don't understand. She wants to be Raven instead so I can be her bara Starfire.
>>10460673How do you deal with having two whole bodies for legs?
>>10460683each side of them as one leg.
>>10460058>cgl/ used to be REALLY butthurt with Princess tutu cosplayswhy? because its hard to get right and the series is popular?
>>10460711No because balletfags would REEEE any time someone cosplayed Ahiru and it got really annoying
>>10456788have you heard of traps or trannies?
>>10460894or every other touhou cosplayer ever?
>>10460709But my legs don't have legs.
>>10460896you need to make them into props dude.
I don't do cosplay, but being Robotnik would be based.
>>10456788I think I've only ever seen 1 actual female 2hu cosplayer in my entire 7 years of going to cons.You've got nothing to worry about!
>>10460722this is so stupid lol imagine guys who are into martial arts complaining about naruto cosplayers
I'm a fat girl lmaoBut i love his design and character, and maybe i could have pulled it off with a muscle suit or something since i have a manly frame with wide shoulders and not a lot of hip/ass, but i quit cosplay long ago and can't really go back.
>>10461023It was absolutely the most autistic level of nitpicking for anyone that even dared to try even the slightest hint of a ballet pose
I've always wanted to cosplay sango from Inuyasha. I look nothing like her of course as a petite black woman. I know I would get questions of 'who are you' from people. And I won't make a fool out of myself.
Nanami from Utena. Blonde hair makes me look sickly and the braid would make my face look like a moon.
>>10462269>I know I would get questions of 'who are you' from people.I feel like either of Sango's outfits are very recognizable so this is less likely, but I get not wanting to deal with assholes.
>>10461096It was so bad. I’m in a similar sport and I can’t imagine being that cringe about people doing dress up play time. YOI icefags tried it for a sec and luckily shut up fast
>>10462269Fellow Sango stan and wannabe cosplayer, here. At first I was a little concerned about recognizability but I figure:>YashaHime is boosting fandom visibility >HUGE boomerang>mask>kirara plushAre enough of a signal that people will get it, regardless or race and size. If you are super concerned maybe find some friends to do other InuYasha characters
Bog King from Strange Magichis design just speaks to me in incalculable ways, but...I'm an average sized woman so heh only in my dreams
>>10462950Are you sure you're not just trying the wrong shades of blonde?You should be able to wear either warm tones or cool toned. A lot of blonde wigs have a warm yellow tone that doesn't look good on some skin tones.
>>10462269I think Sango wouldn't have any problems being recognized. She's a prominent character is a hugely popular series -- especially with women -- that is getting a new anime right now. Her design has multiple recognizable features, too. Making and holding the gigantic weapon might be difficult for you, but it will also make you more visible to be recognized.
>>10457788You don’t have to make a silicone suit. Most fat suits are comprised of stuffed cotton or spandex cushions that attach to the body. It’s fairly simple once you think of it as just making wearable pillows. The only thing you might have to worry about is facial prosthetics if you care a lot about that level of accuracy, but I think you’d be fine going without.
>>10455030IGGY DESU
>>10454248im fit and have done boxing beforeim just not black lmao
I'd love to do Garp, be a baddass cannonball-slinging grandpa, but I'm a 5'11' sticc that looks 10 years younger than I really am while also not being that cute. Most of the time I want to crossplay as a cute girl, but sometimes I want to lean into my masculine side too, but I feel pretty hopeless attempting either. I'm stuck in a weird middle-ground where I'm only good for boyish characters like Luffy or Lelouch.
I could pull it off, but no-one would recognise meNor would I have a group large enough
>>10457245I made this a few years back and it was a lot of work and kind of a hassle to wear at the conBut hit me up if you want some tips! (or if you want to just buy it) I think I figured out a few things that I haven't seen in other tutorials that made it easier/better results
>>10466265you gotta have a Kafuka. Honestly i want to do Maria or Meru from szs, but a shoeless school girl isn't very recognizable by herself.Honestly a full group of SZS cosplayers is the actual dream
>>10466271Pics?
>>10466388Most cosplay problems go away if you have a group. That's why the pros clone themselves five or six times before a con.
>>10466388I bet there aren't even enough SZS fans for a whole class group
>>10466898What are you on about? It's an entry level show
>>10454248>>10454353>>10454809>>10454858>>10454873Good taste.
Pretty much any larger male character. I'm lanky as fuck and even putting on muscle doesn't really compensate for the smol body structure. Oh well, at least there's lots of cool characters I can potentially do
>>10467758smol is justice.
>>10466903Maybe it was while airing
>>10467774Thank, I will just have to steady my resolve and embrace the lank
>>10460896>But my legs don't have legs.
>>10467758dress up as 9s and fuck me pls
>>10468056get em, anon!
>>10454353She's my dream cosplay. I just bought my second embroidery machine but whats stopping me is I'd want to get the best materials possible for her.Not just the goodwill bedsheets and curtains I usually use
the sheer amount of work involved, i dont think i would ever be motivated enough to finish
>>10454398i look fucking exaclty like REmake carlos if he was white and fat, swear to god
>>10468056>>10468064I uhhh..... Yeah, I could do that I guess
I truly WISH I could do Buffy Summers because she was so iconic to me growing up but desu I don’t even know how I’d make her recognisable and plus nobody would give a single shit
>>10468596Buffy might not be popular to the general public anymore, but in the echo-chamber that is a convention hall, there will be plenty of Buffy fans. Making her stand out would be pretty difficult if you're buy yourself, but a group cosplay could solve that.
>>10460389Buy some of the stuff from kamui cosplay. She teaches you how to make armor very easily. She has YouTube vids and an insta. Start there. Goodluck
>>10468097Based necron bro
So what's the status on intentionally poorly done crossplay? Have tr*nnies ruined it or....?
>>10470659it was never good to begin with :)
>>10456158nta, but that's Atoli (G.U.) from .hack//G.U.
It's not an issue of body type, my body would actually be great for Bayonetta. But it's the fact that her costume is so insanely detailed and I would want to use real leather, real human hair, the works. And due to how form-fitting her outfit is, I would have to use a soft, stretchy leather like kidskin, lambskin, or calfskin which means embossing would be a fucking nightmare, not to mention I would need a lot of skins to make the whole bodysuit and I might have to put seams in weird places like the middle of the legs
>>10473405this reads like a cope to me. or you are just too autistic to cosplay properly, considering this isn't as complicated as you think.
>>10473405>real leather, real human hairyou sound like a complete beginner. go do your research, agree with >>10473420
>>10473421>>10473420>>10473420NAYRT Bayo is not an easy (or cheap/fast) cosplay, you two are weird
>>10473775that's not the implication, anon. the op is fucking dumb.
I'm a 6'3" bear-ish dude. I'd probably have to lose 30lbs before even thinking about it.
I have no problem with crossplay in principle, but it just feels wrong with Fran.
>>10454385>>10454980>>10454916>>10465320This is true as all get out. Dark skinned do lighter people all the time. We fucking love anime, but there seems to be this stigma that if lighter skinned people do it, then it's a problem. Fuck all that shit. If you like it, then do what you want. Admittedly, as a dark skinned, I tend to go after cosplays where I don't have to show too much skin if only because like >>10454385 said, I tend to treat cosplay like fighting games and get a little mad with myself if I'm not the right color lol
>tfw onionboy, dad bod male.>tfw want to do male versions of girl characters but not only do you not have the body for it but all the male versions are twink as hell or just female character but with a penis.Sometimes I do wish I was a girl cause it's far more exceptable and easier to do oppisite gender cosplays for any male character and you can do female characters.>>10459911Google green shorts. Buy blue fabric from store and cut out to flower, or blue fabric paint and paint it on. As for hair just grow it out, jell it up, and get pink hairspray in a can. Or just spray hair pink.
>>10457638>>10468097There is nothing wrong with "half assing" it. You'd be surprised how good things look and how many people will recongize you even if you aren't 100% spot on.
>>10474145Don't feel demotivated. I remember seeing a group of men at AX dressed as Sailor Scouts (as in the seafaring kind mashed with best girls) and they were immensely popular for photos. Also, I can't remember the name, but there's a famous tiktoker who is black, has a big fluffy beard, and cosplays characters like Froppy. He's pretty popular for it too. Whatever way you choose to interpret a female character's cosplay, I hope that it makes you feel happy and confident with your cosplay.
I don't know if this really counts or not but I would really like to cosplay some characters (like A2) but I don't really wanna wear anything skimpy.Don't know if that makes any sense, ik it sounds kinda counter-intuitive.
>>10475956No that makes total sense. There are some similar examples in this thread too like OP's post.
>>10466265You're an idiot because I've seen a handful of people cosplaying as him without any other SZS in the group, and I recognize him no problem.
>>10454248Someone with fake tits could probably pull that off.
I think this one would be hard to make and harder to make not look stupid.
>>10478294This looks like the perfect cosplay for a master level crafter. You're right, it would need a lot of work to actually look good.
>>10474007What's she from? She's really cute
>>10478758Franken Fran
>>10477588Outside of the massive cons like AX you're basically a nobody character
One day I'll find a way to make a good Nito
>>10455002What is this from, if you don't mind me asking?
>>10480222Key the Metal Idol
Protagonist from Tatami Galaxy. I don't think anyone would recognise it.>>10454858Shame. Lal'c is one of my favourite characters ever and I've never seen a cosplay of her.
>>10454980yeah and it looks like shit
Seriously considering cosplaying Shiki from Samurai Shodown, but I'm a fatty and apparently they don't make toric lenses in red.
>>10481854> they don't make toric lenses in red.This fucking grinds my gears. Fuck my astigmatism for cucking me out of cute cosplay lenses.
>>10467758>tfw it's impossible for the human body to do an accurate Raoh cosplay
>>10454248Ash Williams, Negan, Spike, and the most one's Iori...>why?Because I are the niggest...
Wanna be Jotaro but I’m a 5’5 girlMaybe if I wear giant platforms and go on steroids. I’ll make it happen one dayAlso any shirtless character like Inosuke or Galo
Definitely Riliane from the Evillious Chronicles series. The only problem is that I’m not used to wearing dresses.
>>10489098I feel you on this. I’m like 5’2 and alway want to cosplay the taller characters.
>>10489098>>10489327i did jotaro as a 4'9 girl before and it was quite funny, actually. it's like the opposite of a 6 foot dude cosplaying as a little girl, except with a different type of visual appeal
>>10489713this just recontextualized it for me, thanks anon
>>10454664>>10454667>>10454813>>10454816lol putting words into the mouths of fictional characters to encourage yourselves, such faggotry of fucking ball-gagged fags
>>10455030jojo part 5
>>10460045naked fat people are scary go for it!
>>10454248why is it so hard for cosplayers to avoid slutting up cutie honey like fucking hide your saggy fat sacks

>>10490129part 5 onwards
>>10490128it’s like you’ve never encountered a weeb before

>>10490603*catholic
>>10490615lol literally a robovirgin prototypical ecchi for boys anon here is sperging
Difficult to bring myself to cosplay something that would be a bit obscure. The series is nothing flashy and from what I know not many read it, but god did I love it.
I have this physique but I would be too embarrased walking around like this.I'd also be paranoid about the skin color rubbing off.
>>10459669Step 1: Lift. An upper body focused routine. Lots of chest and shoulder work. For one year with focused diet.Step 2: Get leanStep 3: Spray on tanStep 5: Platform boots
>>10490956Red River, right? I still need to finish that one, but I remember really enjoying it.
>>10491169Yeah! I live in a desert so photoshoot area is pretty ideal for it too.
>>10490137
I just want to look like Kaji, but it's really hard to get the stubble and ponytail look without looking like I work at gamestop.
>>10490142>t. fatty
>>10454248Cutie honey that's fucking based. I love you, please do it.
I wish I had four friends.

Working on it.Took me like 20years to grow into it
>>10454248I don’t have TRT nor am I Brazilian
I wish I could cosplay as Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell. I'd want to cosplay as one of these two [or three, as one is a maybe] versions:- most of the variants of 1989 manga vol.1/1.5 Motoko (pic related, would be one of the versions i'd want to cosplay as the most)- the 1995 film adaptation version of Motoko- [maybe] the Stand Alone Complex (season 1) version of MotokoThe only issues are that 1. I'm a guy2. I have really hairy legs (when I was in 9th grade, my dad compared my legs to that of the legs of a hobbit. "hobbit knees")3. No idea how I'd change the sound of my voice to sound like a milf (not entirely necessary, but if its possible then id want to just because i could)4. I have facial hair and small amounts of neck hair, and slightly bushier-than-average eyebrowsI could potentially make it work with my height, not sure if any of you would disagree. I'm 5'7" (170cm for the anons that use metric). I am not fat either, and my weight is somewhere between 122-130 lbs, so my physique isn't too bad. I have good hips, although I'd need to lose a bit of fat on my torso, thighs, and some of the fat around the area where my soleus muscle is located.I also dont own anything to make the cosplay, nor do i have a wig for it :(
>>10494418looking good. can't wait to see it all come together.
>>10495002Lower your standards, strip off all your clothes, COVER yourself in grease, and cosplay as a Galgrease/Greaseberry character instead. Done.
>>10494418I love turok
My shoulders are too wide. And "muh contour" can't fix it
>>10495200You've got to embrace the bad crossplay, anon. In fact, start lifting if you haven't already.
>>10495200Delthea is a great girl though, anon. I don't think I've seen many cosplays of her so you should go for it!
>>10468596I love buffy and guarantee you can make recognizable buffy cosplays. Get a good wig, pick one of her more iconic outfits (the red and black one and prophecy girl work well), and have a prop like a stake or that battle ax thing she had
>>10495193ive never seen or heard of Galgrease or Greaseberry.I'm a big fan of GITS and I've watched everything in the franchise, and read the original 3 volumes of the manga, so I'm well-acquainted with franchise. I find that to be an important factor as well.I might be able to pull off something like the Motoko shown in attached pic, as it hardly shows any skin, which might eliminate the issue related to having lots of hair on my arms and legs.I just have no idea how I could make my face look feminine enough, and my eyebrows are an issue as well. No idea where I'd get the cosplay either, and I have zero knowledge on how to make clothing and props. I might make a thread about my issue laterpic related btw
>>10495212If we're going to accept mediocrity, then why put any effort in to begin with?
>>10454353I'm in the middle of the manga it literally gives you the mindset to start doing anything tedious
>>10474147>>10495484the duality of woman
>>10460389Start with a character that has one or two armor pieces (like some fire emblem charas) to get experience and see what works for you. then try a character like this with all the stuff you learned. THEN try monster hunter/bionicle.
>>10489320on god I would lose my mind if I saw this at a con
>>10479125just as long as you bring it to the rave to become the RAVE LORD
>>10474147I've had costumes where I poured months' time into for accuracy and people at cons keep walking up to say "great [insert more popular character that happens to have the same hair style/color] cosplay!"
>>10462269I’m a black woman too and the first cosplay I did was shin from dorohedoro a couple years ago and everyone who knew the franchise understood who I was, just cosplay them accurately. If I let my skin tone define who I would cosplay as I’d probably not do it, so have fun and ignore the weirdos.
Vargas from Black Ops Cold War.I’m too chubby to pull it off well, plus I can’t grow a mustache to save my life
Need to build a lot more muscle first
>>10480732could be cool if you paint yourself white and go hard and creative with textures - at least for photosdefinitely would help if you had an Akashi though
Literally any gold saint from saint seiya. I've seen a bunch and if I ever tried it would be a bunch of cardboard crap. People are insanely skilled with this stuff and I'd love to make something like in the pic but I have no clue.
Its kind of hard to hide a penis in those tiny shorts.
>>10508132Have a friend hold it for you.
>>10502853True shit. Most anime characters are Japanese but I rarely see any actual Japanese cosplays. Skin doesn't matter wear what you want. The only time anyone gets to judge your cosplay is of theyre paying you.
>>10454248Any mature looking female characters. Im 4'11 and babyfaced well into my late 20s. Its a curse.
>>10508162any young looking anime characters, I'm 6'2 and in my early 20s, its a curse
>>10454248> /fit/ powerlifter for 6 years> I'm 5'6"
>>10508132Not quite as hard as you might think. It's pretty amazing how possible it is to convincingly tuck your junk.
>>10454353That's someone's culture, not a costume. Don't disrespect it like that.
>>10508132
Im fit enough, but im a ginger and could never get that perfect tan, and i think it would look silly with my pastey complexion
>>10509720You can get a custom spray tan that last for three days.
>>10502819That's rough buddy.
>>10508162>tfw you will never be Yuzuki.
I could pull it off, but I wouldn't be able to accept the autism that comes with cosplaying from a gay hentai
I'd wanna cosplay Denji and/or Power, but I don't wanna do it alone. It feels awkward going as human!Denji without a Power or an Aki, y'know?Also, group cosplays in general are something I want to do more often that I have no idea how to pull off when I can't really find people who'd wanna do it with me.
>>10467758Time for SARMS
>>10510062>Tfw you'll never live in a CLAMP world, wearing super cute clothes while your underage best friend fucks your teacher
>>10461031>I'm a fat girl lmaoNever stopped all the other KH cosplayers.
>>10510062i want to fuck most of the dudes in chobits. (and most clamp things)
>Be (((5,6)))>Never played college ball
I don't even think a Dr. Chicken George cosplay would be that difficult, but anything short of the demented, manic autism inherent to the character would be half-assing it, and there's no way I have that level of autism.
>>10514426fucking lol

>>10526715>>10457638and another!!
>>10454248I love Ultimate Gohan but male DB cosplays rarely turn out ok, let alone good.
I can't do it.>20 cm too short>leg to upper body ratio too short >nowhere near enough muscle mass>wrong eye colour (can't get contacts for that in my strength, the shades should hide it though)
>>10509717As a member of the culture that makes for 99% of the inspiration for the so-called "gothic lolita" fashion, I find your comment utterly laughable. Seriously, think before posting.
Not tall or creepy enough to do it.
hinata but i look like chocho.
>>10527432What culture is that? British?
id love to do kainé but it's way too skimpy and i don't know if i want to hear "are you a trap" again as its semi-relevant to the character. i love her design and character though alot
I don't even want to attempt a wig like this.
>>10530879Couldn't you wear an airbrushed leotard to provide more coverage?
>>10489320Is that connected with rin from the evil series bc they look thé same
I’m kinda wanting to do a Yui Hirasawa when we finally get cons back instead of my usual thot superheroines, but I’m not sure how well a blonde big tiddy Yui would go over. Plus I play a strat, not a les paul.
>>10530884What is this from? Who designed this wig? Was it the yugioh people?
>>10530984nyart, but yes. I was surprised to hear it had a name too
>>10509717do you jump down the neck of literally any anime cosplayer wearing a sailor suit or kimono? cmon anon, its just dress up
>>10532954I mean, as long as you get the right wig and try to look the part, I doubt people will care about your bodytype.And honestly, it's enough that you have a guitar at all. I love Les Paul as much as the next guy, but I wouldn't expect anybody to invest in one just for cosplaying one character.
>>10533275that's seymour guado from FF10
>>10454248How do I achieve Nagai/Ishikawa/1970's sideburns as a girl, /cgl/? /m/ tourist here. Any tips if I don't want to use a full wig? I've got natural auburn/ brownish-red hair so I like to take advantage of that when possible.
>>10514276I'm doing an Aki cosplay with my GF going as Power. I was going to do Denji but Aki and Power works as well.
Too tall, maybe I'll be Grell someday.
>>10461031>I'm a fat girl lmaoget /fit/
>>10455030Most of the jojo character's the famous ones, they're all manlets right? They're all under 7ft right?It's fine, most males are manlets anyway.
>>10505646You can still be Henchman 24
I'm a 6'1 guy
Lacey Shadows from the Modifyers even though I'm a guy and people would still see my 5 'o clock shadow even if I've shaved with my razor longer than usual to look the part, need to wear lots of make-up and eye shadow and will feel not very comfortable to wear girls underwear underneath those stockings which i would need to cover my hairy legs
>>10538966Wear the dress anyway faggot! I know a dude that cosplays disney princesses all the time and he doesn't give a fuck! They're absolutely hilarious.
>>10541219Get some hair removal cream or use wax strips.
>>10541368>They're absolutely hilariousThat's why he's not doing it
>>10533466I have trouble doing any schoolgirl or loli-like character because I’m a member of the Double Dang club, unfortunately.
>>10454248The perfect loser thread: I would do this but I will never because I'm a resourceless lazy fat nigger; feel with me bros I'm so cursed.itt no effort idiots circle-cry.
>>10547574Maybe try a sports bra or a binder. I'm not sure how much that would help, but from what I know they do make a difference, at least slightly.Pic related is a guide/review of several options I found on DA, it might be worth looking into them if you want to cosplay flatter chested characters.
>>10490137To be fair, Honey is always either a slut or a pure maiden.
>>10548091Bound and under a sports bra still means huge for me, unfortunately. There’s just not much that can be done.
>>10548091That looks extremely uncomfortable.
>>10548091I'm already imagining all the blisters you'd get from 3.
>>10547574anon, there are a metric fuckton of really cute and sweet characters with bigger boobs in moe anime, i am sure you can find one that's not too lewd.
>>10454248in the novels and art she's shown as being kinda short, like 5'4ish kinda short? and Lawrence is maybe 5'10ish? To get the same effect at my height Lawrence would have to be 6'2 or higher bc I'm 5'8.5 and it just makes me feel bad because I can't be a smol holoam I being stupid? probably. I'm pretty lithe and proportioned like her, just taller. it's just anxiety I guess?
>>10556016Height is less of a problem for solo cosplays, but if it's a couple cosplay then height will make or break some cosplays. Imagine seeing two adults with the same height cosplaying a pair known for the height difference, like Mei and Satsuki from Totoro or Howl and Sophie from Howls moving castle.
I want to cosplay her, but her dress is rare and I don't know how to make the Shiki hair have lots of volume without a fried look.
>>10556027pony up the 1k anonhttps://item.fril.jp/9631fb7b0c11b7d9227e0f984c6397c2
>>10556045Thanks anon, I did see it sold for $350 somewhere else so I'm hoping other sellers will stick with the $350 price range rather than 1K.
>>10556025you're right anon! and that's kinda what's got me so worried I guess. But maybe it's okay, for as long as I look good in the cosplay and can find a tall enough guy to attend with it shouldn't be a problem right? Now I just need to find someone tall lol
>>10495245Because no one played Echoes since NuFEfags bitched how there's no self-insert MC shit in it
Because I have yet to see a Houseki no Kuni wig that doesnt look like total dogshit and I'm a stickler for detail. Made a few attempts with vinyl, but it all looks like shit
>>10557705Use cellophane, anon. Phos's wig is one of the easier ones to do. God help you if you wanted to do Padparadscha or Watermelon or any of the big haired gems.
>>10557736Cellophane looks good in photos from maybe one angle but moves and wears like shit.... was trying to get that soft, translucent drape with more dimension than cellophane slapped over a regular wig. Pretty much I just need to suck it up and get a vinyl welder
I'd really like to do Frank from "Madman" but unfortunately I don't think the mask is something that can translate to real life well.Also I'd need to get in better shape before wearing a skintight bodysuit.
>>10557705
>>10530984They’re the same thing just her name is not Rin in the novels
>>10454897Just kill and skin prettier people and make a beauty suit :)
>>10454248I've got blonde hair, blue eyes, and look nothing like Spike. Kinda makes me sad because his character design's one of my favorites.
>>10560003Close but no VOLUME....the wig definitely needs to be constructed like a plushie with a 3d structure otherwise it'll look like shit when you wear it over a bald cap
>>10560053wigs and contacts anon.
Definitely not in "superhero" shape and also I'm not dad-aged which I feel is a big part of the character.
>>10560295Plenty of time to get in "superhero" shape before you hit dad-age then.
Probably way too difficult and uncomfortable to wear (I know the footage in the music video is sped up because the suits were restrictive) but man it would be hilarious to do.
>>10455030People can't guess your size if you're sitting in a wheelchair.
I know there's a lot of "haha big tiddy vampire gf" but i genuinely think she's really cool and I look forward to hopefully seeing more to her story.Sadly could never pull her cosplay with this face and body. Maybe her daughters. Or maybe in 10 years.
>>10561916I wanna see a big tiddy middle aged woman playing this big tiddy middle aged woman instead of a bunch of 22 year old hookers.
>>10561917Very much agreed, that's why I'll avoid blending in with the hoes.Hope someone over 30 cares about the character.
Not even arnold had a chest this big. Unless I stuff something like pillows in my chest I will never be bara titty ova dio.
>>10457788sumo wrestler fat suit is your best option
>>10460677Fucking do it anon, male Tamaraneans dress skimpy too.
Too fat and square. Though the character seems pretty easy to cosplay if one is not too square - with long sleeves
>>10561947You could pull off Part 1 Dio, but DIO is beyond any human.
>>10561947>>10562982There's part 7 Dio that's achievable but you still need muscles.
>>10479125I'm surprised no one has gotten it right yet. The trick is the bird-legs he has under it all. Though you can get stilts that work like that and disguise them to look like bones.
>>10561947I think you'd actually want to be off-model with that anyway.
It's a little above my ability.
It’s so hard to make naga-like tails look half decent, I’m too scared to even attempt it
>>10560003What type of material is that? Also source please
>>10454248I just don't have the skills needed to make armor like this up to my quality standards. Its not even a body type thing, its just a skill level thing. Even poor version of Chamber would take ages to make, and I can't justify investing that kind of time into a costume I know I can't do well enough to be happy with the result.
>>10541368based and insensitive-pilled
>>10508132I would love to cosplay as Utena but Im a dude so I just wear a black jacket and pretend in my mind.
>>10455002Do a male version that's so cool
>>10454336Genuinely what's the point of wearing a fake chest to cosplay a titty monsterLike the whole point is you want to show titties, that's her defining characteristicRed hair and tittiesIt would make more sense and even be less ghastly and stupid to wear fake anime eyesYou want the attention associated with cosplaying the titty character, so you get out your tittiesYou're not artistically drawn to this titty monster or somethingWhat is the deal with women?Fake breast plateLmaoreally?
>>10588500who tricked you with a breast plate?
Thomas the Tank Engine obviouslyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OJ5tt6ZAFc
I’d really like to cosplay Celty since she is mute and wears a full head covering making crossplaying easier, but I am afraid I would bake alive wearing a helmet and bodysuit for long periods of time.
>>10588553Forgot my image
>>10588531No one, I've never even heard of one before, the idea is just laughably absurd.
>>10588553>>10588554Just put air vents inside the ears
>>10588572Could even wire in some small PC fans for extra cooling.
>>10588577I was going to suggest that too, but then I thought about the hair tangles if anything goes wrong.
>>10588603Put some fine mesh between them and your head and make sure they blow inwards, to prevent any hair disasters.
