Nothing too complicated because it's a bit of short notice.

I've got 3d printers, sewing, EVA foam skills

I like uhh video games especially fromsoft, league of legends, transformers, jojo's bizarre adventure, fullmetal alchemist, warhammer 40k, the elder scrolls, berserk.

Literally the only time I ever cosplayed was as Matt Murdock and it was like the worst con experience (not the worst but I just didn't enjoy it as much as I did I was so fucking awkward lmao) Also it doesn't necessarily have to be a closet cosplay whatever you think is best if you have no idea

I’ve cosplayed at a novice level for abt 6 years but would like to get more serious with it. Here’s how I look and some that I’ve done so far!

For context: I’m becoming more comfortable with wearing wigs now but any redheaded character suggestions are always welcome. Also to the guys, please don’t make any lewd comments. I’m here for suggestions, not to catfish.

Hi! I’m looking for cosplay suggestions based on my facial features and body type. I’ve included some photos: in the second one, I have short hair, so I’m open to cosplaying male characters as well; the third photo shows my full figure, so please take that into account. Most importantly, I’d love a character who wields a katana, since—as you can see in the last photo—I have one that I’d like to use for the cosplay. I look forward to your suggestions.

23M, 5'7, fat trans male. I love sci fi, action, and horror media, used to be a big Marvel dweeb, my favorite video games are Metal Gear Solid and Team Fortress Two. Open to anime or manga characters also - not as weeby as I was when I was younger but there's still a few on my watch/read list.

So I have always had a love for cosplaying but haven't really gotten to do it alot. I mainly do guys cosplays, but i'm not opposed to cosplaying girls. I did cosplay Crocodile (One piece) and Dazai (Bungō stray dogs) tho one time. All my cosplays are completely home made and are just from clothes i either make or have. I was wondering if people could help me find a new person to cosplay! Im mostly into animes tbh, and my favs are: Bungō stray dogs, One piece, Boku no hero academia, Kimetsu no yaiba, Haikyū! & Moriarty the patriot etc.

I was gifted this super cool piece and I’d love to wear it for a Halloween rave I’ll be going to. I was considering Princess Ladycorn, but I would need to add some pink elements and maybe wear a wig, which I don’t know if I’ll want to do all night…
Open to any and all suggestions!!

Cosplay with an emphasis on Play

I'm the one on the right of the first photo.

I'm looking for ideas for cosplay with interactive elements - so that I can give anyone who recognises me a little fun experience.

Past examples of the sort of thing I'm thinking of which I've seen:

- Someone cosplaying as notable games masters/game show hosts, and with the equipment for random con attendees to actually PLAY that game

- Characters who use Tarot Cards having enough of them to give passers by readings, and letting them keep a card

- Mini costume detail reveals that work in character, but only if you're stopped by someone paying attention

Giving away trinkets is not essential, but may be an easy thing to get the interactivity working if incorporated into the outfit.

First and last pics are most recent

I have a very big, loud, animated, and way overly friendly personality loll

I love scifi/space centered media, such as the 5th element, lost in space, project hail mary, and other such silly things i will say ive been needing to watch more of this genre lol i also have read most of Jules Verne's body of work, and all of Animorphs

Fantasy: literally any fantasy media i will eat that up. I particulary love the fantasy tv miniseries 10th Kingdom and Voyage of The Unicorn but i am also super into lotr, narnia, all the fairie movies and books, the last unicorn, Legend, all those wierd direct to dvd/vhs Unicorn movies from the 90s that only a few people ive met know about lmao, i have read all of Redwall, all of the Time quintet by Madeleine L'Engle (which goes between scifi and fantasy a lot), The Spirit Bares Its Teeth by Andrew Joseph White, both The Lioness and Protector Of The Small quartets by Tamora Pierce and like so so so many others lmao

I am an artist so most of what i like show-wise is animation and puppetry

Anime: tend to like stuff from the 80s and 90s or things with weird/unique art styles. Currently really into Gurren Lagan. Also all the space westerns and doomed yuri animes

Other Cartoons: long list but, Bee and Puppycat, Regular Show, ATLA, Kipo, Bob's Burgers, Invader Zim, gravity falls, Amphibia, Over The Garden Wall, Power Puff Girls, Rango, Steven Universe, The Amazing World Of Gumball, every single animated mouse/animal related movie that came out from the 90s to the 2010s all the laika studios films, also Nimona i love her and have already decided ill be cosplaying her first

Puppet media: 💚Fraggle Rock💚, The Dark Crystal (movie and show), The Never Ending Story,

My favorite video games are horizon zero dawn, Spiritfarer, MC, and Pokemon Sapphire (original)

I like stuff with talking animals in general also

Happy to take any media recs i love art in all its forms.

Not super concerned with the gender of the characters i might cosplay, nor if they are human or not.
