But, thinking of those old-school anime like Pokemon... Dysphorique, you could probably do Mei Lin from Cardcaptors? =D

Sorry, my bad.

Old school is good. Chun Li from street fighter?

New school, Hell Girl?

By dysphorique. 30/07/11, 12:57 pm

Ooh, thank you for the responses guys~! Very Happy

I'd rather not have a character from a movie/tv show/book since I'm
hardly in anything related to the respective fandoms (haven't watched tv
in about 2 years o_o) aaaaaand as for band, well... ehhh |D

Right now I'm leaning towards Mio, thanks Seakittens! c: or Mei Lin from Cardcaptors too xDD

@Pyro
I was watching one of the FMA movies the other day, and thought Wrath could've been a good idea... but she is exposing a lot of skin and it being winter and all... :V

@Highlander
I've considered a Pokemon trainer, but I don't really know what to look for o_o; And as for Chun Li, I'm not really -- well, thunder thighs xDD aaand Hell Girl would require red cons, wouldn't it? ;w;

By Seakittens. 30/07/11, 01:09 pm

^No problem c: for more ideas you can try the 'anime character database' site and input your hair, gender and eyecolor info for character ideas

Contacts, maybe, if you wanted to be that accurate, sure.

When do you want to do this. Auckland armageddon in October is located in a glass and concrete complex, and is usually very hot weather. People usually have the other problem of being too hot under layers of costume. But then some of us need sunscreen too!

By dysphorique. 30/07/11, 03:21 pm

@Seakittens
I tried that site last night ;O Though a lot of the stuff that are fitting are from shoujo-ai manga or stuff along those lines orz...

@Highlander
Ah right, didn't realize that it won't be winter any more in October xD;; And yeah it's for Auckgeddon~

By Seakittens. 30/07/11, 03:27 pm

^Ah, well that can be expected XD Black hair is pretty common anyways.

About auckgeddon, I find that there is one day during the con where it will be blazing hot, but the others will get a bit chilly. Just depends on the weather, but I screwed myself over by cosplaying something showy on a cold day and a suit on a hot day :c

By brunetteyes. 30/07/11, 04:35 pm

Ooo I want to do this! Very Happy

I have a few cosplay plans but I'm curious of what other people could think of:

I'm 20 but I'm mistaken for a high school girl a lot.
About 165cm tall
Brown eyes and past the shoulder wavy brown hair
Moderate body size
I'm half chinese and half european
Olive skin so I'm kinda pale in winter and kinda tan in summer

I'm happy to crossplay and use contacts and wigs
I can sew, and I like a challenge (but nothing insanely difficult/costly)
I'm mainly into reading manga and watching anime

Whee! I hope people can think of a few :3

By sephevn. 09/09/11, 03:50 pm

I'm planning on attend my first ever auckgeddon and am tossing ideas around for cosplay and i'm keen to get ideas from other people as well~

I'm asian, so i have long dark brown bordering on black hair, short n tiny, that is to say i'm only 151cm tall. open to any suggestions at all~ altho i do tend to favour darker characters

By lavenderbrown. 11/10/11, 01:10 pm

Oh hey this is awesome.

Uhm I'm a newb, so anything would be rad.

I am about 5ft6 and a half, average weight, my hair is shortish and brown - but i own wigs and happy to buy wigs to suit character. I have quite a few tattoos, so something that either incorporates or hides them is great. Pale skin, blue/green eyes. I also have freckles.

Happy to attempt sewing - not so good, but to get good you gotta practice right?
I have a few pics of myself in my intro thread which is over here

I read a bit of manga, so characters from that + movies, happy to do characters from anime too (I'll just research anyone I'm not familiar with) memes etc.

I think someone with a bit of an attitude would probably suit me best!

Thanks!

Hahaha, I'm just as annoying as her, so it would be good. I'm a slytherin at heart though!

By **Duckeh**. 11/10/11, 01:33 pm

Whoo~ Slytherin pride. C: But I think you have a really good face for lavender~

And to actually contribute to the thread, you sorta remind me of Isabella from Paradise kiss in your first picture.

By Kitten Slave. 11/10/11, 01:50 pm

I was going to say something, but I am stuck staring at lavenders avatar...

I am: 14, I'll be 16 by the next ArmaCon. I am quite tall, and thin. I'm a girl. Flat-chested.
I have: Dark blonde hair, almost brown, past my shoulders. Green/gray eyes. Pale skin.
extra: I enjoy crossplaying, so I'd prefer a male character. I like wearing wigs, but I can't afford contacts. I have a lowish budget. Prefer someone from Ouran.

By brunetteyes. 14/12/11, 02:11 pm

^ Do Ouran!! If you're not too tall Hunny would be adorable!! I did Haruhi last year.

By HikaruxKaoru. 15/12/11, 08:16 am

Hmmm....I'm waaaay too tall do do Hunny, and I look too old. But thanks anyway! ^^

By Fraserb775. 13/01/12, 04:53 pm

hmm a tad skinny =P also my hair is more buzz cut

By Ayame-Neko. 05/02/12, 02:25 am

Oh, uhm, could I have some ideas...?

I'm 12 turning 13 with just under chest length dark brown hair and eyes. I'm 150cm (not even kidding) and my skin is kind of like light brown-y. :3 I don't mind crossplaying, and there's not really any colours or stuff like that I don't like. I'm actually pretty open to ideas. :L And I AM a girl. :3333

By pattee. 05/04/12, 05:10 pm
