/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

See, the problem I have that SU cosplayers have are the fusions.

I get there is obviously the desire to get costumes spot on, but really I think there is a point where perfect just hurts the costume, mostly with the extra arms. I've seen fantastic Opal cosplays, but no matter how well it is done, having a set of Mannequin arms glued onto your armpits just looks stupid, same for Sugilite. I know the character has 4 arms, but honestly of the costume is well made and you look perfect, just do two arms. Even Alexandrite will still look great and iconic without six arms.

Same for Peridot fingers, I get that you want to try to feature her floating tech-digits, but honestly most of the time they look like Nerf-darts suspended on toothpicks. The best solution I've seen was just wearing black gloves with the fingers in the neon green cylinders.

There are some pretty difficult to emulate designs in SU, and some times they just don't translate into real life costume.
