Hi everyone! So, as I'm creating my current cosplay masterpiece, I can't help but wonder.....
How do YOU choose who you want to cosplay?
Maybe you choose your favorite character from childhood, someone you resemble, or just pull a name out of a hat?
What is it about your character(s) that make you spend the time and money to recreate them?
Here are a few reasons why I pick who I've picked thus far:
I have a thing for strong female kickass type characters.....
Lara Croft:
Alice:
Lee Loo:
Other things I like to consider when choosing a cosplay:
1. Do I look kind of like that character? (I'm not a huge fan of wigs and not looking as close to a character as possible.)
2. How much work is needed for the costume? (I like instant gratification. And I don't sew.)
3. Is it someone that has been so overdone that I'll likely be the 572nd character at my con? (Insert sexy Supergirl here.)
So, yeah.
And here's some bits and pieces of my current cosplay creation. Why choose her? She's awesome. I love villains. And my hair is currently red...
I delight in her evilness.....
but currently, I'm just me.
Who are you currently cosplaying? Who do you really want to cosplay?
Cheers,
~7
