The Manga Zone discussion

well i thought it would be an intresting discussion to have, you can share successes, failures and tips on cosplaying with others in the group! :)

I've been a butler and a BB. Both successes, if I do say so myself. ;D

yes indeed! i have been a butler....and a butler. lol :D

Seeing as I look like Hungray from Hetalia I guess I cosplay as her without the clothes.

I plan to one day visit Canada while cosplaying as Canada...

And a year ago I cosplayed as Misa from Death Note...the only year I went to any form of a school dance...

It is expensive...mainly if you want to be perfect...

that all sounds fun :D

In a way, I guess.

going to a school dance as misa is awesome!!

Thanks, it was a friends idea after we watched the live action movies and I showed her that Misa's hair is pretty long by the end of the manga.

cool that would be so fun XD

Walking around in public places whilst cosplaying is all kinds of fun as well. The looks people give you are priceless. xD

Depends what the public is. We have an anime club at school but a lot of people tend to be jerks towards the main members because they cosplay at least once every other week.

I do the cheap way and cosplay as characters that wear normal clothes and such...

LOL, like Furuba? All you need's a wig for most of them.

I can do Tohru without a wig...and maybe Rin...
That is why Misa was easy, just need some gothic clothing.

mmmm just went as matt from death note to a convention, it went quite well :D

I just went to a con as Beyond Birthday. I love fake blood~

lol fun! i like fake blood, kinda...

Yeah. 'Cept when it's actually red food coloring and then it rains when you're outside and you start trailing red everywhere...

heehee yeah that could be bad.......

I've only cosplayed once. I cosplayed Jizabel from Godhcild and Alice Human Sacrifice Miku. I'm working on a Belarus cosplay and a Xerxes Break cosplay :D

FAAAKE BLOOOOOD :D

Me too. Or modify things to look fancy but it's all thrift store clothes you bought from the store down the street

I'm debating on cuting my hair and bleach it blonde next year and dressing up as Len...>_< In all his different outfits.
Servent of Evil
Alice Human Sacrifice
Cat Ears Switch would be easy...
So on...

Len is awesome. My friend cosplayed AHS Len last year. She wore a wig so it looks funny. Plus, she's taller than all of us who are supposed to be Miku, Kaito and Meiko

...so it is Len if he had a massive growth spurt.

And wigs do tend to look funny which is why I want to use my real hair...
I plan to use mt real hair when I dress up as Canada.

yeah. Or something.

I like it better when one can use their real hair cause, yeah, wigs do look funny.

yeah, i'm thinking about going as grell from black butler, but his hair is crazy.

Hannah wrote: "yeah, i'm thinking about going as grell from black butler, but his hair is crazy."

His hair is another person completely.

it is, which kinda makes him that much more fabulous. i actually just want to have an excuse to make a chainsaw...

Hannah wrote: "it is, which kinda makes him that much more fabulous. i actually just want to have an excuse to make a chainsaw..."

I understand.

heehee BUT if i decide to go as my other choice, i'll get a giant pair of scissors!

Aaah, Grell. He's also hard to draw too. But, yeah, his hair is fabulous but definitely wild.

I drew him once, it came out really well(in my mind at least)

Yeah...I don't know since I'm not big on fanart if I'm the one doing it.

I did draw him pretty well...after a few attempts and looking at stuff.

That happens.

I'm going to a convention this weekend!

Bravo!
I'm going to be playing FFIX this weekend.
And for Halloween I'm going to be a humanoid version of The Cat That Lives In The Soda Machine And Claims He's God from Pani Poni Dash.

I'm going to a convention in a steampunk costume. More or less home-made. It's going to be awesome...I hope. xD;

Yay!...I want to go to school dressed in Steampunk. That and a Samurai...>_<

Samurai costume would be epic. Where would you get one, though?

you could make one :3

That'd be pretty hard though, don't you think?

Alienne wrote: "That's be pretty hard though, don't you think?"

Not really, it all depends.

On what?

what fabric you use and how intricate/realistic you want to get.

True.

indeed, dont think it'd be to hard if you used like maybe a cotton with little streatch, yeah, that'd work i think..

The material, patience, everything you might need...


Funfact in Asia if you want to cosplay as something that will be too tricky to make yourself, you ask a clothes shop to make the outfit you want and give them your measurements.
A friend said that's what 90% of Kuroshitsuji cosplayers do.

i believe it, if you want a good suit you'd need it made for you by a tailor.
