What do you think of cosplay?

[ultimega]

Would you ever go to an event to dress up for as character?
When you think about it's almost like Halloween but you get to do this more than once a year

These are some of my own below

[Navarro26]

I think it's a cool artform and seems like lots of fun besides all the work that goes into it

[ultimega]

Yup.
We're totally gonna do a couple one together at some point

[Trooper205]

Cosplaying is my Jam. I love it!

[ultimega]

Haha awesome!!

[Aguysopinion4799]

I think it is cool, sometimes cute when I have seen some cosplayers wearing cute clothing, can look badass if cosplaying as a awesome character and overall just really fun to see.

I would be willing to cosplay, but I wouldn't do it on my own, only because i SUCK at it, and also because I HATE having stuff put on my face, so I would need someone else to put any face products on me, so that they can somewhat use my face as a canvas while looking at a picture of the desired character, that way they can make the shading accurate.

But I have only dressed up with makeup once and it required the assistance of my sister to pull off. I really hated it, but it looked really good, but at the same time I couldn't wait to get it off just because I couldn't handle the stuff near my eyes and lips and just being on my face as a whole :D

It's so fun to do it and to watch people do it (this sounds oddly sexual). I once cosplayed as Wolf from Payday 2 because I have bought the official mask, duffel bad and I have a suit. It was fun because many people asked me for pictures with them and it's so great to make people happy like that.

Here is what the character looks like :

[ultimega]

Aww that's really cool! Would you do it again?

[YHL6965]

Hell yeah! I mean, the cosplay was pretty simple to do, it's a shame I could not bring any gun replica because of terrorist attack threats at the time but I got a lot of attention from a lot of people, many people wanted pictures. Sure my cosplay was not as accurate as possible because I would have needed to buy more specific items which could be expensive and I would have needed to shave my head, but it was really cool.

I was thinking some day of getting scrap metal to make a sort of post apocalyptic armor but that's not my priority right now.

[ChiTown33]

It's badass. Unfortunately i live in central Iowa and we don't have a big enough cosplay following here. We just recently got comiccon coming here and i have a knack for finding about it after it's already happened.
That outfit in the 3rd pic is awesome. That must have cost a fortune to build.

[Jjpayne]

That looks so cool!!! I'm honestly jealous :( I think cosplay is so much fun! I want to do it someday...

[ultimega]

Is there any conventions near to where you live?

[Jjpayne]

We have one in lake county but not many are bold enough to dress up. However Chicago has a number of them but I at this time in my life can't afford it but I look forward to doing it one day

[MackToday]

Seems like a lot of fun. It's unfortunate that thots are ruining it stripping the costumes down to near nothing, acting like jerks

[ultimega]

Dont even get me started on that stuff.
there's a difference between cosplay and costume models.
What I don't like is how the model types will get popular so allows people to believe that only those ones set standard of who is "allowed" from who isn't. Cosplay is for everyone.

Secondly, what gets me is the skimpier outfits get instant popularity for the with minimal effort involved but then others who physically make, garments and props themselves are barely mentioned. Its should be equal on both sides.

Sorry for the rant lol

[Anonymous]

Its awesome but I don't know if I could do it. I have considered it tho...

I dont know any of the characters you did but you look awesome!

[ultimega]

They are all anime based ones except the bottom one - that was rose quartz from steven universe.

Trust me it's fun! If you want to dip your toe in I'd say try lighter ones first or visit a convention to get the overall vibe before deciding :)

[laurieluvsit]

It's nice, I love it!

[Cynicaldreamer]

I think it's cute and fun, assuming it's tastefully done.

I cosplayed as Storm from Xmen at a geek meet I went to last year! It was fun... I think next year I'll go as wonder woman, lol

[Bigjake1019]

I dressed like a cheerleader once for Halloween does that count?

[ultimega]

Yes it does 😁

[Bigjake1019]

Sweet ❤️

[ThatGuy133]

I think its pretty cool especially when the costumes are damn near copies of the originals

[funtims615]

I love seeing people creativity. I really enjoy it.

[Bratsondanielle]

It's so cool. I have the blue samus zero gravity suit. I love it. My boyfriend loves it too lol. I like cosplay it's so much joy!!

[SydneySentinel]

Fun fun fun. I'd love to do it. It's not really in the budget though and I'm terrible at crafting.

[TheAceholeSupreme666]

Cosplay?
If I am headed to a KISS concert, fuck yeah I'm going all out!
Have to put my Vinnie Vincent make-up on!
Creatures of the night kicks ass major ass still to this day!

[beebella]

I'd like to do it someday, it looks like fun. 🙂

[Navarro26]

We should totally do it as a group one day!!

[ultimega]

You would love it hunni.
I have been cosplaying since I was 17 and had a blast doing it~ what you dress up as if you could?

[beebella]

Maybe one of the Powerpuff Girls. 🤔

[Navarro26]

[ultimega]

[ChiPaPa]

That's pretty rad! I'd do it if I had the money to and could get to a convention.

[SpicyBoi17]

Absolutely, I've always wanted to go to a convention as Kratos but I'm broke lol

[DanOh2018]

Love the idea of it, never have though.

[ultimega]

You might like it if you gave it a go
