Hi! I'm from the Chicago area and I want to get involved with cosplay but I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, at all. No clue. Nothing. None whatsoever.
How do you go about getting a group of people to cosplay with you, no one I know at all has even the slightest interest in it (so I'm not sure where to even start looking)
and I've never seen a person who wasn't good looking cosplay, how do you get the confidence to cosplay if you don't really look like a character (or if you're kinda ugly... yea there's cross dressing and dressing up as a different ethnicity than yourself but I swear, even the not 'traditional' people manage to look amazing in their costumes)
But yea, any suggestions in general I would really really appreciate (I'm hoping to go to SDCC next year and I'd like to have tried cosplay at least once/gone to at least one convention beforehand)
