You've just stolen my heart, do you know that?
I myself don't do a lot of cosplay, but I help out a lot of the locals with their costume design. If you're looking for an easy character to begin with, try to find one whose outfit doesn't require a lot of personal tailoring. Generic clothing, such as a school girl uniform, are easy for a beginner to find and apply. It may not be exciting, but it's a start.
If you want more help, try to find others in your area who have been active in the cosplay field for a while now. Asking people over the Internet is fine and dandy but you really need someone in Real Life to show you the ropes. They can offer better costuming tips than any of us can. |
X-DDD And you know, when I was walking around at the con, very few people recognized me, which made me kinda sad, 'cause it was a fairly big con, and I thought more people would know who I was, just from sheer numbers. u_u But I'm very glad to meet a fellow fan of the Tiny Plaid Ninjas!! They are ganz wunderbar. ♥^__^♥
And I also agree with your cosplaying tips. *nod nod* If you're a beginner, starting small is best, especially if it's a costume that consists mostly of things you can find at a store. Schoolgirl costumes are good, because most of the pieces are fairly easy to find. Oh, and I have two words to say: THRIFT STORES. ^_^ They make a cosplayer's life much easier. Plus, if an item is somewhat uncommon (like lace-up boots, which aren't in fashion anymore, or a plain trenchcoat, or something like that), a thrift store is more likely to have it than a department store.
Oh, and I realized I forgot to mention in my previous post: I also have a costume of Gir from Invader Zim. This costume actually has quite a story--the main body of the costume was constructed from a lime green bathrobe. No joke. I added stitches, ears, eyes, a tongue, and a tail, and I wear black gloves and black pants and shoes. I actually had the bathrobe before I thought of making it into Gir, so it was a very happy coincidence. ^_^ So if you see anybody with a costume on like that, holla! X-D
