/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Would a Darkest Dungeon group see any kind of recognition at a con?

We've made costumes and done cloth-to-costume sewing before for parties and the like but not a full on cosplay, Darkest Dungeon is something we all enjoy and the minimalist designs seem to be perfect for novices at work.

Me and my friends have all recently got into playing Darkest Dungeon.

We're pretty amaturish at cosplays, but decent at cosume making although havn't done anything for a few years.

Seems like a great group cosplay to do between us and the vauge-paper-doll art style leaves plenty of room for interperation and of course, room to not-be-absolutely-perfect, which is great for some semi-first timers.

Do you think literally anyone would recognise the game characters? I mean it seems fun just for us to do ourselves but it would be nice to see if others would recognise or appreciate the effort, rather than just folk saying the "Praise the Sun" at the Crusader.

I think we'd aim for the more unique designs, like Arbalest, Bounty Hunter and Leper since some of them can just be pretty vauge fantasy. We did also muse about getting a "Stress" prop, of the icon that appears when a character takes stress damage as an extra tie in.

Any thoughts?
