Reverend Scapegoat Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I assume from your username that you're of the female persuasion? Impossible to make suggestions without knowing that, and still hard without a descripition or pic :) ( There really was no way to say that without it sounding like "HI!!!!!! A/S/L?", was there? LOL ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enty Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Hi Everyone, Was at the convention on Dec 6th and had a really great time, met some really cool people, was thinking of getting a costume for next time, but no sure who to be or where to look, open to suggestion lol Good place to look is ebay. There are quite a few costume places on there. Or you could pick a tv prog or film you enjoy and do a costume on that character. If you are into anime then it easy to find a character to cosplay. If you are stuck I can help as Ive made quite a few costumes for people over the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Scapegoat Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) Perv Don't tell me what to do! Seriously, though - Aside from "One-size-fits-most" costumes ( Colonial Marine, Stormtrooper*, Stargate SG-1 member etc )... For specific characters it's usually a good idea to pick a character similar enough to your own build to make the costume easier. Obviously, male cosplayers find playing male characters easier - And vice versa. There is, of course, the phenomenon of "Crossplaying" - Which is the main reason that any straight male at a con should begin his covert perusal of the hot cosplay chickies at the face. Otherwise one runs the risk of "Ooh! Nice legs! Mm! Nice butt! Woo! Nice bewbs! ... ARGH! BEARD!" *Height restrictions may apply here.

Cocomando Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 a slave Leia is always good as long as you can get the metal parts right ( don't have to be metal ) i think there's a builders club on the net for the metal bikini , or classic ANH long white dress and french pastry hair , or as you're forum suggests one of the female charagters from Resident Evil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Just as an advice, if you do Leia, don't do the slave costume at Glasgow.. The convention is on a ice skating ring and it's REALLY chilly there! :) Go with a Hoth costume, more like it..:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cocomando Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 forgot about that , i always think of it as a catch all sports arena , i'd have thought that a Hoth one would be more fitting for 2010 since it's the anniversary of ESB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the other costume you are thinking about getting? I love Graphic Novels, good luck with that :), Went to see Twilight at the pics today, it was really good.

Cocomando Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) ok , don't want to give much away at this time but looking to do an action figure based costume , which sould tie in with a movie release in August . I have a predator that i'm building but is going slower than i want (giving it 2 years ) , have another mando , a TIE Pilot ( another one that will take time , hopefully 1 year) , another comic book character (not sure ) and the one for August . if it all goes to plan . the last 2 are mostly soft costumes ( no hard parts or armour) so it's a case of finding the right colour material and a lot of fittings Edited December 20, 2008 by Cocomando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
