This 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.

I'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.

I 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.

If 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.

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.

She'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.

It'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't

I really like birdy, the decode design, and the show, I'd love to see more cosplays of it!

I'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.

Are 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 Magic

his design just speaks to me in incalculable ways, but...I'm an average sized woman so heh only in my dreams

>>10462950
Are 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.

>>10462269
I 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.

>>10457788
You 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.

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

This 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

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.

Don'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.

Seriously considering cosplaying Shiki from Samurai Shodown, but I'm a fatty and apparently they don't make toric lenses in red.

This fucking grinds my gears. Fuck my astigmatism for cucking me out of cute cosplay lenses.

Also 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.

Step 1: Lift. An upper body focused routine. Lots of chest and shoulder work. For one year with focused diet.
Step 2: Get lean
Step 3: Spray on tan
Step 5: Platform boots

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 Motoko

The only issues are that
1. I'm a guy
2. 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 eyebrows

I 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 :(

>>10494418
looking good. can't wait to see it all come together.

>>10495002
Lower your standards, strip off all your clothes, COVER yourself in grease, and cosplay as a Galgrease/Greaseberry character instead. Done.

You've got to embrace the bad crossplay, anon. In fact, start lifting if you haven't already.

I 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

ive 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 later

pic related btw

Start 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.

>>10462269
I’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.
