Pink- Ninja — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 04:32:18 GMT

A Beauty and the Beast Disney Cosplay group for 2011 Would you be keen// join ? It's a Disney Group with plenty of human characters and some talking objects that would be great for a laugh and great for a cosplay expert for a bit of a challenge =3 Soooooo Would you be keen ? ^___^ Have been thinking about this movie since Saturday... ;sighs;...

Ever wanted to Cosplay from a Commercial?

TinTango — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:09:23 GMT

I don't know how common this is, but have you ever wanted to cosplay someone from a commercial? As a casual cosplay, when time and cash is low, I've often thought of cosplaying Levi, the Big Guy from the Mitre 10 Mega ads ("Big... is Good!) or alternatively Dennis from Fatso. What are your thoughts/confessions, and who else on TV do ya think would be cosplayable? (-is that even a word? )

Psychotic Schoolgirl group!

Static — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 08:30:15 GMT

So schoolgirls are fun to cosplay - but let's see some evil ones! I want to do a shoot at some point of a big group of 'bad' schoolgirls - I'd like to do Saya from Blood: The Last Vampire. Who isn't really "bad" per se...but she sure ain't fluffy and cute! Could have an Enma Ai in there, or that chick from the thing who's always covered in blood, or Battle Royale...lots of possibilities! I don't know WHEN this would happen, not for a comp probably, but would anyone be keen? ...

General Progress

Rowan — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 10:55:42 GMT

IT'S SHANNON'S FAULT (she caused my labourously typed post to be deleted for this, so it's going first to spite her) What's her fault? That I left this like this an hour or so ago... Spoiler: In the very middle of sewing it even... TO GET TO THE POINT OF THE THREAD: This thread is to illustrate (photographic evidence is encouraged, although not required) any progress you've made. Any cosplay, doesn't have to be one for a specific event~ Let other people see what progress ...

Cosplay Rules

Ravin — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:32:38 GMT

Heh heh sorry if I didn't look hard enough, but I can't find a list on either Armageddon's site or CNZ. I couldn't find any rules leading up to Auckgeddon '09 either, which is a little strange, for newbs like moi. Is it under some hidden link somewheres?

Or here, for that matter.

Fame for Costume Designers? Not really.

u_ne_korn — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:46:20 GMT

Jezebel, my second favourite place on the internet, had a brief thing on the net today about how costume designers in the film/tv industry are not being treated very well when it comes to marketing and selling merchandise. Variety Article Basically, the designers are not being paid royalties when their designs go onto toys and retail stuff. Discuss!

Not another cosplay meme!

Aurellion — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 02:07:31 GMT

Indeed - share your fun moments in cosplay, future plans, document all your previous cosplays & have an excuse to oogle pretty cosplay aspirations. This is done in meme format - blank can be found here: http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs33/f/2008/294/3/e/AnotherCosplayMeme_by_z_ex.jpg Don't upload the final pieces to Photobucket - it uploads at not the full size.

"Warcraft" Cosplay group idea

burning batsu — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:43:23 GMT

Ok, so here's my idea. I'm working on an EXTREMELY difficult cosplay outfit for an upcoming expo, it's highly unlikely though that I would get it done before April though, so I am aiming to get it done for the next auckland expo in october. I'm also considering the possibility of trying to organise a Warcraft cosplay group and am looking for people to fill 3 particular roles, mainly for a skit I had in mind, though if people want to cosplay other characters, the more the merrier. The main ...

Mass Cid Group

fleyer — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 03:14:36 GMT

Harvest Moon group?

kelseyketchum — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 02:35:37 GMT

Wouldn't it be awesome? I think any character, from any of the HM games. It would cool to have a Harvest Goddess And maybe a Witch Princess. I don't know when this would be, but I'm thinking of doing the main boy girl for DO next year: Spoiler: He's adorable :3 Anyway, anyone interested?

Queer as a clockwork orange.

Static — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 22:32:03 GMT

So I was listening to Shihad just now, and ruminating on the meaning of things (as one does when one is laid up sick) and I remembered the Pacifier video, and I thought to myself, "HOLY sugar honey iced tea WOULDN'T A CLOCKWORK ORANGE GROUP BE SWEEET!!" SO WHO IS KEEN? I KNOW I SURE AM. I've just started putting together an Alex costume, so is anybody up to be Dim, Georgie and Pete?

XOrengenOX — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 04:39:49 GMT

A friend and I have our own original characters, and I was wondering what opinions were on cosplaying as OCs?
Not self-inserts and such but from a whole made up story C:

Patterns~ ||

Duckeh — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 01:33:20 GMT

Cutting patterns is thee part I hate most. T.T But I find using patterns helps me out alot, even though I generally modify the hell out of them, the basic shape is there, and that's love. <3 //Has died a little on the inside in the past half an hour...... CUTTING, SO MUCH BORING.// So, who here uses patterns?? I really want to get a dressmakers dummy, so that I can kind of pin and cut... Seriously... I would die of happiness. Another pointless topic brought to you by Duckeh. 8DD

underbust corset pattern

Mischa — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:54:31 GMT

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good underbust corset (cincher) pattern. It doesn't have to be historically accurate, or tight laced - just fashion is fine .

You know you're a Cosplayer when...

Madam Madhatter — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 04:25:54 GMT

I found this on another cosplay forum. It�s easy just finish the sentence. Answers can be as short or as long as you want. They can be based of real things that have happened to you. Or fake �wouldn�t it be funny if��s E.g You know you�re a cosplayer when� you always look at the character that you want to cosplay and try to separate the costume (how can i do it?) your closet is filled with more costumes than "real clothes" (and when you say that ...

Nee — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:48:08 GMT

Sorry if this post is in the wrong place but I was just wondering, what do you think the 'Little Dream' from Alice Human Sacrifice, a vocaloid song looks like. I've tried searching for pics but it seems everyone has a different idea. I really want to cosplay this next year at some point so yeah... any ideas on what the Dream might look like?

Can I borrow Rinoa cosplay plz?

Tails — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 06:33:57 GMT

Not sure where to put this topic...
But anyway, I want to get some photos as Rinoa wearing my Ultimecia wings for the 'Rinoa is Ultimecia' theory. I've made her ball dress but it's not as iconic as her usual blue outfit, so if anybody has a Rinoa cosplay they could lend me for a day I'd be very grateful! I'll buy you lollies or a dA sub or something

PM me if you can help? :)
