Cosplay Q&A
Here is where seasoned veterans of cosplay can answer questions about the art they love. Anyone can ask questions (as long as you keep it appropriate).
This is a free-form Q&A so anyone can answer any question. |
Re: Cosplay Q&A
How much does the regular cosplay run money-wise, usually?
Were you afraid your first time cosplaying in public, and if so how did you overcome that fear? |

The first time I cosplyed in public..hm I think was back at AB 07 when I was a Thief from Disgaea 2. I was scared on the train/subway because I stood out, but after I got to the con I forgot about my fear and had fun! :D |

My first time cosplaying at a con was in '08 at NDK and I was Haruhi from Ouran, Conan Edogawa from Detective Conan and Amnael from Yugioh GX. You could imagine the looks I got for the latter, but you have to remember that you're dressing up to have fun not to make a social statement in the outside world. Just pop in your head-phones and get yourself pumped for the crazy fun ahead. You forget how strange you feel when people at the con start gushing over your character and making friends with fellow cosplayers |
Re: Cosplay Q&A
Oh man, I always end up spending way more on my costumes than you would if you bought it online.
Even with 50% off coupons nice fabrics are expensive, and wigs, and shoes, and false lashes (lol CLAMP). . . it all adds up so quickly. In fact the cheapest cosplays I've done are the ones that are primarily assembled clothing that doesn't really require modification. I did a reborn costume for~$55 (wig included) while my most recent costume (Guru Clef of MKR) had 21yds of fabric, pounds of resin gems, fosshape, etc. . . I purposefully didn't tabulate the cost of that costume, but I'm guessing it was probably close to $400. But then we've received ~$170 worth of prizes. Speaking of prizes - could anyone use 2 free tickets to Colossalcon in Sandusky, OH? I won't be able to go, and would love to see someone make use of them! |
Re: Cosplay Q&A
I have a question about cosplaying
I'm soon cosplaying as Bianchi from Katekyo Hitman Reborn and I was wondering is it important to have like nail polish on for the character i looked at some pics of her and i saw that she has pink nail polish on and does it matter if its pale pink or electric pink? Thank you |
Re: Cosplay Q&A
It's up to you, but for better accessory I'd go with the nail polish. If your entering it in a contest you might want to be as close as possible to the character. If your doing it just for fun, enjoyment and pictures then wearing either pale or electric pink is your choice. Just remember to have fun while cosplaying!

To keep it from tangling you can spray a sheen spray onto it a couple of days before wearing. If you want to define spikes use hairspray to get the general shape and then secure it with some Got 2 B Glued hair glue on the very end of the spike. |

Re: Cosplay Q&A
Not sure if anyone is watching this thread anymore, but I'll give it a shot!
Being a newbie to cosplay and looking for ideas (thanks 91.8 The Fan for all of those great cosplay galleries!) Are there any particular websites that are "THE" place to shop for cosplay stuff? I'm trying to put together a simple cosplay for my first go around. Most likely the SSS uniform for the guys in Angel Beats! I've tried all sorts of google searches, but they come up pretty dry or are WAY off in design. Please HALP! Thanks! =) |
Re: Cosplay Q&A
I'd suggest cosplay.com for wigs, but there are some great quality ones on eBay. As for pre-made costumes I can't really help you very much. I'd recommend commissioning someone off of cosplay.com

Re: Cosplay Q&A
Well adventurous I'm also somewhat new in cosplay but I give it my best when I make them my self and I have only brought one cosplay from Cosplaymagic.com and I can say that the designs are good but careful when you order online cause as I heard most of the measurements and might not fit or are to big for you
