~Cosplay Ideas For You & I~, Ask, suggest, plan cosplay ideas here

Hate to consider this spam, but ah well.

Anyway, I haven't seen a thread or topic like this yet so I thought I'd make one~

Here is how this will work:

Someone may ask (Like I will) "Who should I cosplay next? I'd like to cosplay someone I look like or can pull off really well. Any suggestions?"
-You may reply kindly with an answer.
Example: "I have an Idea, how about Spike Spiegel?" Then the person who asked the questions should reply with his or her opinion/reasons in a positive manner.

That's that.

Something that may be useful would be making a "Future Cosplay" list.
-I'm going try and keep this updated for you all for as long as I can, but basically you make a Future cosplay list and the progress of the cosplay.
Here is an example and List you can copy and paste:

[Name Here]'s Future Cosplays:
1. [Character Name] from [Series] - Progress 0% Completed
2. ~Extra Spot
3. ~Extra Spot
4. ~Extra Spot
5. ~Extra Spot

A few last Notes.
1st. If you put something down on your cosplay list, try to put the one you think you'll finish first, first or to be or exact, in the #1 Spot.

2nd. To avoid overflowing the first page, please keep your list at a maximum of 10 spots or below.

3rd. You can post your questions, answers, and list here in this thread, but if you need to update your list, please PM.

4rth. (This is optional, but in some cases it may help for a better cosplay) You may post a photo of yourself when asking for future cosplay ideas. **NO NUDITY!!**


Thanks everyone, I hope this is useful!!

EVERYONES COSPLAY LIST WILL BE QUOTED BELOW HERE
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

I know some people don't like double posting, but I need to save room in the first post for everyone's list~

Hello again everyone! Hahahaha

I would love to get Idea's on who I should cosplay in the Future. I'd like for the character to look similar to me or vice-versa, any suggestions?

Here is a photo of me for reference:


~~~

Silent Cloud's Future Cosplays:
1. Vash the Stampede from Trigun - Progress 10% Completed
2. Aladdin from Aladdin - Progress 0% Completed
3. Ikki from Air Gear - Progress 0% Completed
4. Spike from Cowboy Bebop - Progress 0% Completed
5. Kamina from Tengen Toppa Gurren Laggan - Progress 1% Completed

question, if we suggest a character do you intend to use your real hair or get a wig?

Either or. Assuming the cosplayer would do their best to portray the character.

It might just be better to use a wig.
Unless it's a more realistically haired character, like Vash.
I'd grow my hair out and dye it, because using a wig might not look good.
I'm pretty sure it would show the wigs net/base lines.

Example of using actual hair for more realistic hair styles (Unlike Cloud's ;~.~):




In this situation, I'd choose real hair over a wig.

Bottom Line: Whatever looks better is what I'd go with Hahahaha

Word up. Pic here someday.
Cosplays
1. Jigsaw - Saw series
80%(Was at 90 but the mask fell apart during the rave. o.o')

2. Hei - Darker than Black
60% needs coat and mask.

3. The old guy from Six Flags commercials - Six Flags Commercials
90% same costume as Jigsaw, minus mask and wig......needs a blad thingy

4. Phantom Renegade - Medabots
50% Sorta like Hei, but different...

I'll just assume that everyone will know to POST AN IMAGE OF THE CHARACTER when suggesting a cosplay for someone.

[Will edit later to display character pictures]

Upcoming:
Kagane/Kagene Rui from Vocaloid - Progress 40% done
Shiraume "Ume" Noyamano from Air Gear - Progress 45% done
Canaan from Canaan - Progress 10% done
Hanyuu Furude from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai - progress (maybe) 70%
Kanon From Umineko no Naku Koro ni (or) Jessica from Umineko no Naku Koro ni (if I don't decide to do Hanyuu for Fanime's When They Cry series gathering)

Those are the ones set in stone so far~

*If you don't mind, to save the trouble I'll just edit your post to put mine up and everyone else's if there's a lot of new posts and you still haven't logged in. >.<; *

That will work Akt, as for having to post an image, it would be helpful but I think we know how to copy and paste a name and search images ourselves :3
