Cosplay thoughts
Wanted to put this somewhere I wouldn't forget so I decided to post it~
I don't plan on cosplaying once I'm out of college, and I'm already done with my first year, but I would like to do more cosplays before my proverbial time is up. ^^ Unfortunately I don't have the money to buy or commission nor the skills to sew.
But nonetheless I'm going to make a list:
Completed
Asch the Bloody (Tales of the Abyss)
Pros: Overall good cosplay
Cons: I have to pretend to be angry all the time. xD Also the arm bands still don't fit perfectly. And it's really hot. Temperature-wise.
Spain- War of Austrian Succession (Axis Powers Hetalia)
Pros: I get an axe. Also, Hetalia fandom ftw.
Cons: I have to carry the axe. xD;; Also the coat is pretty hot, temperature-wise, as well.
Mello (Death Note)
Pros: Quick and easy cosplay, well-known but not often cosplayed
Cons: I'm not a huge fangirl of the series, and I have to pretend to be badass xD
In-progress
Spain- Gakuen (Axis Powers Hetalia)
Have: Jacket, shirt (can acquire a tie)
Need: Pants (perhaps my friend Candace can lend me hers...?)
Ideas
Maya Fey (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney)
Pros: It's a girl! Gasp. Also, it's a pretty simple outfit.
Cons: I really don't think I'd like to wear a dress. xD; Also, it's less impressive to people who don't know the character.
Ema Skye (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney)
Pros: Another girl! Her outfit is fun and not too hard to make, and I wouldn't need a wig.
Cons: I like Maya's character more.
Mion/Shion (Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni)
Pros: They're both girls; this also seems like a really fun series to cosplay for
Cons: I hate all their clothes. XD;
I was trying to think of a YuGiOh! cosplay as well, as dumb as that sounds- I can't help it, it's whatever I'm into at the moment, yanno?- but I feel like that might be hard to pull off. Anzu/Tea has my hair and eye color already but I don't like her clothes and her character seems kinda bland. I feel like it would be fun and easy to do Ryou but... I'm worried about that being the "Near/L" cosplay of the fandom. White wig+striped shirt+jacket+jeans, not very difficult to put together. Maybe as a casual cosplay though? I might have the face for it, at least more so than for any of the other characters.
What do you guys think? Any other suggestions on who I could cosplay? I'd love any feedback you have to offer!
