Cosplaying for the first time...?

Wellll.... After so many years of wanting to cosplay, I decided I actually want to try it and make it happen! ^.^ The only thing is... I don't really know who to cosplay as. All I know is I want to dress up to someone I look sort of similar to and start of kind of simple, since I'm new to it and all.... :P So any character suggestions/tips would be great! If it helps, that's me in my avi. Oh! And I don't care whether the character is a boy or girl, either, or whether or not they're from an anime or a video game. ^_^ Lols. Thank you!

From your dp, the most prominent features are you hair and skin tone....so I suggest with a few perks and tweaks try these characters on for size:
Kurapika from Hunter x Hunter
Clare from Claymore
Angel from King Of Fighters

Hope they're not too hard... -_^

Try doing Excellen from Super Robot Wars, if you can find a costume that is. Or do that character I have in my avi.

well if you have a favorite character thats the most constant thing to do with cosplay, at least thats how I did it though.

cosplay someone you can sync with.

EG someone whose character is similar to yours etc

i think nico robin from one piece will suit you.

Thank you everyone so far for all of your help. ^_^ They all seem like fun suggestions. :3





Lets see... My favorite characters are usually people I act nothing like, such as Kyo Sohma and Hana from Fruits Basket, Death the Kid from Soul Eater, Rise Kujikawa from Persona 4, Wolfram from Kyo Kara Maoh, Auron from FFX, Aerith from FFVII... and the list goes on and on... ^^; But I've been told that I act a lot like Tohru from Fruits Basket and Tsubaki from Soul Eater, but I don't know if I can quite pull either of them off.

[size=12]i'd definitely go for cosplaying a character who you can identify with. but i stalked your posts to see if you posted in the post your pics thread for a better reference so i could give you a better answer. /creeper .-.

if i were to suggest a character purely by looks, it would be osaki nana from NANA.

Oooh~! I do love Nana's style. :3 I think I'd definitely like to try dressing up as her. ^.^

That Angel.

You can also check out Vanessa

Or you can Rule 63 Kyo Kusanagi

both from King of Fighters.


You have a lot of options...

Looked up a pic, and I must say (pun intended), that would actually be SERIOUSLY hot! :D



Hell, if you can repeat that "hair over one eye" look again, which looked absolutely stunning, you could even genderswap Iori Yagami.

[spoil]

Damn, I know this was said before in another thread, but really, your husband is an EXTREMELY luck sunuvagun!

Those two look so cool! Love their looks and style. ^.^



Love the school uniform. :O I'd totally wear that. xD Lols! As for the hair over the eye thing, I can definitely do that again. My bangs tend to do that on their own no matter what I do with them, unless I actually pin them out of the way, but I hate doing that, so I just let them fall over my eye all the time. :P And thank you for saying so. xD It's very nice of you to say. :3

Couple pointers:
1. Fullmetal Alchemist is good, do it. Now.
2. So is One Piece
3. Don't bother the norms
