(Age-old question) Need cosplay ideas!

Post by Kitteh » Wed Oct 24, 2007 6:11 pm

Female, 5"2, skinny and busty. I've got shoulder-length black hair but I can buy a wig - hair isn't an issue. Hair isn't naturally curly either.

I have already done: Rukia from Bleach, Freya from Chobits, Aeris from FFVII, Osaka from Azumanga Daioh and Rider from Fate Stay Night

I want a costume that stands out and is quite extravagant, I'm quite talented with costume making, armour is difficult but not impossible.

I don't mind showing off some skin.

I like:
FMA, Bleach, Final Fantasy, WoW, Soul Calibur, Dynasty Warriors, Chobits, KH, Fruits Basket, Fate Stay Night, Elfen Lied, Life (manga), Princess Ai, .hack//, D.N Angel, Tsubasa, CCS, Death Note, Hellsing, Chrono Crusade, Psy*Comm (manga), Dramacon (manga), Samurai Champloo, Sailor Moon (when I was a kid XD) and all sorts of other games and animes.

I'm not too bothered by doing a costume from a game I haven't played or an anime I haven't seen because I can easily watch/play etc it as I have a while until I have to start working on the costume.

One idea that is being tossed around my head has been inspired by these photographs of FF4 costumes:

http://limebarb.com/commissions/costume ... /rydia.htm
http://limebarb.com/commissions/costume ... a/rosa.htm

I would love to achieve that amount of detail, though I'm not too worried about THAT much detail XD;

I am tempted to cosplay one of those characters but I'm not sure, I appreciate suggestions!

NO NARUTO

I HATE Naruto e.e

Thanks all! <3

No problem, Beatrix is one of my favorite character in ff9. And that one site with the Final Fantasy 4 Rosa and Rydia costumes. Are great.
