yooooo jojo thread

amusingly enough since there's discussion on this version up way above, I've decided that I'm going to do Deadman's Question Yoshikage Kira. Here it is with all the absolutely ridiculous painting that I might add on afterwards, and here's a picture of the figure. >>6582969

I'm trying to decide on fabrics for the blue and orange, and maybe 4chan can help me. I'm trying to pick between dark blue vinyl exterior and matte orange interior, dark blue matte spandex with metallic orange interior, or dark blue vinyl with metallic orange. (So shiny/dull, dull/shiny, or shiny type A/shiny type B.) It's getting a matte white lining on the top part regardless, but.... how shiny is TOO MUCH shiny for the top and pants? This outfit by its very nature is not going to be worn with other JoJo cosplayers around me (in fact the more normal-looking the setting the better), and it's a rather odd variant, so I'm going to want it to stand out as "Hey, that's JoJo!" (hoping the green lipstick helps) but I also don't want to go full RuPaul's Drag Race and look ridiculous. It also HAS to be vinyl or spandex because cutouts.

In b4 looking ridiculous anyway, since I know this design isn't really meant for someone who looks like me. I just want to be Yoshikage Kira (I REALLYREALLYREALLYREALLYREALLY want to be Yoshikage Kira) and this is a far better choice for me than the standard suit Kira.

>Jojo cosplay is the best cosplay because it forces you to think outside the box
you're so right. I don't think I could ever stop making outfits from JoJo now, because even when you get some of the JoJo "basics" down, there's still so many outfit-specific curveballs that you can't get bored.
