I suck at making cosplays! (Help!)
« on: February 09, 2009, 12:24:42 am »
It's true! I absolutely suck at making cosplays from scratch! Which REALLY sucks, because my cosplay I've been wanting to do for K-con 2009 will NEED to be made from scratch!

I want to change a few things for my cosplay. For one, I'm ditching the harp and I'm going with an electric guitar. I'm also wanting to go with a darker color scheme, mostly black blue and brown. I really want to it to scream "ROCK!", if you know what I mean.

......Wait, shouldn't this thread belong in the Cosplay forum? And if so, why the heck haven't any of the Mods moved it yet???

they prob havent moved it because all the title says is "i suck at making cosplays"
a venting style thread for  spam, not if the title said "please give me pointers at making cosplays" in the spam section, they migh have moved it, and you made the tread why didnt you put in the cosplay section?
superjaz, that is jaz with one z count'um ONE z!

If it helps any, I recommend finding someone who can make cosplays to make it for you.  That's what I'm doing.
My cosplay plans for 2022 (thus far): Vanir from Konosuba
My son's plans this year (thus far): Penguin Chiyo-chan from Azumanga Daioh

I've never made a cosplay from scratch. K-con '08 was the first time I've ever cosplayed. And that cosplay was made from clothing I already had or bought.
