so it's been relatively established that i'm a flaming dork...

[Mrs. Valve]

and i'm going to solidify it like, right now.

otakon is in 7 months, and i'm trying to come up with cosplay ideas. i figured i'd throw the idea out to you guys. my only three rules are: 1. has to be from an anime or a video game 2. has to be legit to wear in public (no XXX stuff) and 3. no live steel (no swords, guns, etc that aren't props)

flame on. suggest on too hopefully.

I wouldn't admit to that.

cosplay? If I were you, I'd edit your post real quick.

Also, what made you decide to get into cosplay? How's that work? What's the attraction? I must know why people do this.

edit: lolololol silly cosplayers...

 

[Mrs. Valve]

I wouldn't admit to that.

yeah, well, i've won awards for stuff that i've done, gotten kudos from game developers and such, plus it's a great creative outlet for me to design and make all this stuff. i need an insane excuse to rebuild my sanity

You want to do it. Just admit it. You want to dress as one of them pigtailed big boobed cyber chicks from some anime crap

Legos are a good creative outlet. So is painting.

people do that to recreate something that they like. i happen to use cloth and other materials to recreate other things that i like.

Its hilariously depressing. The sad thing is that, while we make fun of the thread starter, deep down we all know that we have at least one embarrassing thing that we do thats just as bad.

Instead of recreating, try creating.

My embarrassing thing I do is leave my boogers on the floor mat in my car.

plus this thread is entertaining me. i honestly couldn't care less what you think of me cosplaying, i'm more than comfortable in my dorkhood. i'm looking for ideas for this year's convention.

does it have to be cosplay stuff?
Cuz you know, I could use a new Dingo outfit for theNAFLA meetings.

i did that last year. came up with a whole new american-basied anime, designed characters and a storyline, made 10 costumes and prop sets for each. too bad the other people who originally promised to devote time and effort fell short on their part.
