If you're not a fan of the change, here's the original template.

>>10168835
I like your change anon. The "suggestions?" box is stupid because the whole point of the suggestions thread is... well... to get suggestions.

>>10168840
Thank you! I thought so too. I can't imagine why someone would even go through the trouble of filling out the sheet if they didn't want suggestions either....

>>10168857
I always thought it meant do you want suggestions of characters you haven't already considered under 'cosplay ideas' (which some people may not want if they haven't watched the source material or aren't a fan...)

>>10168834
Whats the names/origins space supposed to do?

>>10168840
The original point was to help people choose between 5-6 cosplays they wanted to do, not for people who had no clue what they want to do.
It's pretty weird to want to cosplay but not have a single character in mind

>>10169845
The names and origins for the characters under cosplay ideas. Here’s an example.

>>10169856
I see. Thanks. This shit is hard with BD lol. Might post soon but I doubt theres any character I can go for. I want to stand out from the other cosplays. Limited funds and time though.

>>10169848
It's quite the opposite. People who want to get started in the hobby or are trying to decide their next costume often have many characters that they could potentially cosplay but are unsure which would be within their realm of possibility. These threads are very much centered towards helping the poster pick a costume out of their given ideas, but also to suggest characters that they may not thought of before. In the comments area, people list their preferences, skill level, and etc to focus the suggestions they might receive. If someone didn't want suggestions beyond what they gave, they could easily say so. Additionally, it's a requirement to post characters you might want to do, so no one hops in this thread without a clue.

>>10169858
Sorry to hear that. BD is super hard to deal with.

Some tips for standing out:
>avoid fotm because you’ll get lost among all the other fotm cosplays and chances are that someone cuter/more popular than you will also cosplay the same character
>add some kind of unique element to your cosplay such as extra embellishments or by using an uncommon fabric, etc. It’ll give your cosplay a little extra oomph and make it more memorable.
>give people something to remember you by. For example, I always think of Uberscosplay when I think of Gundam cosplayers because what he makes makes him stand out.

i am not sure to what limit i can expose my body. Is pic rel too much? Literally not far off of having this body.

>>10169967
Or i could pull this one off too but my shoulders are wide.

>>10169967
Oh no, you're a /fit/ sadboi asking what cosplay will get him laid

Shoo

>>10169974
Not at all. I have a gf and my sex game is fulfilled. I cant be bothered buying/making an outfit to fuck weeb girls. Let alone paint my body.
I dont think i am what you think i am.

>>10169967
Use the template in op.

I guess I'll start us off-- I posted last year and went with the Cinderella idea. Was fun to make honestly. Will give recs will others post?

New temp is nice.

>>10170426
Wtf did you not see this lmao >>10169856. This is how to correctly fill out the form.

>>10170426
Next time, put pictures of the characters you want to get opinions for under cosplay ideas and put their name and origins (in numerical order) under the labeled space. I see where your logic went with that though.

Truthfully, cosplaying a romantic couple with your mother is a bit strange to me. I think it'd be interesting if you were young Sophie (either in the blue dress and short hair or her look at the beginning) and your mother could be old Sophie. That'd be my first choice for you and Chie would be the second. Going with the Ghibli theme, you could do Ponyo and her mother. As for the Sailor Scout question, I don't necessarily see a specific character for you. Maybe Jupiter or Pluto?

Aside from your suggestions, I could see: Princess Peach or Haru from Persona 5

>>10174362
Sorry, not very clear.
Yes, if you have the means, you could easily cut out a section of metal, then grind it until it has that kind of blade-like effect, then use a brush/bucket with the correct chemicals to stain the metal the right colour, and then buff one side to give it more shine.
Failing that, because I doubt every cosplayer is an experienced metallurgist, I'd simply make something similar out of more manageable materials, craft foam maybe, or wood possibly, and then paint it to match up with the metal colours, then gloss for the shine.

>>10174333
Thank you. HMC was my mother's first favorite movie- she actually went as Sophie herself without me.

Thanks for the tips.

Entry level cosplay here. Saw the "big guy recommend" thread that linked to this thread. Looking for advice for outfits I can slap together with minor tailoring or the odd amazon purchase. I already have an outfit for fanime this weekend but I would like to start going to more cons to let my gull gf wear her coords more often now that we're starting to make our own money

sorry for trash photo quality

>>10174581

>>10174581
go as andre the giant in that tarzan outfit

>>10174388
That's so cute. I hope you two have a great time

>>10174367
This isn't the help thread my dude

>10174394 : You should do heavy, King Dedede might be a bit too complicated
>10170426 : I think Howl would look cool on you, both the dark and blonde haired versions
> 10174394 : Tharma would be pretty cool

>>10174983
Now since my dumbass forgot to post it with the og comment, here's my filled template.

>>10174581
>>10174788
Piggybacking off this, do Fezzik

>>10174394
>I would like to start going to more cons to let my gull gf wear her coords more often
That's charming.

In terms of what you're looking for, I think either Crocket or Tarma would be within your means of alteration. Dedede would require more work for a good looking costume, but if you're interested in doing that work then yeah, it would suit you. Out of your three picks, I'd shoot for Crocket. There are far too many other suggestions to narrow down from, but in general: suits, high school uniforms, and casual wear are the easiest to alter or buy premade from amazon.

>>10174581
You have to give recommendations to receive some, my dude.

>>10174985
You filled out your template in such a cute way, anon. You would honestly look good as any of these characters, but I think I'd choose Athena then Rin. Or I'd choose: Nico from Kiznaiver, the mc or Fran Chou Chou from Zombieland Saga, Chika from Kaguya-Sama, or Tohru from Maid Dragon.

>>10174985
I think Battle Academia Lux would suit you well
You'd make a good Filia from Skullgirls as well >>10175229
Also I second these suggestions!
>>10174581
Cosplay Heavy, there can be never enough tf2 cosplays

>>10174581
>7'
>400lbs

>>10174985

Cosplay as sitting on my cock

>>10175534
Fuck off

>>10175451
Elizabeth bioshock particularly the femme fatal version would look really cute on you.
>>10174985
Madoka god or chii from Chobits you'd look adorable in frilly dresses
>>10174581
Wario it'd be a way fun costume to wear to a con loads of character but simple. You're intimidatingly tall too so doing Jason from texas chainsaw massacre would also be a treat.

>>10175560
And I forgot to post my picture, whoops.

>10175565 : You'd look great as Tharja, i also think you'd make a great Faye and maybe even Nana Osaki from Nana.

>>10175569
Learn how to reply properly, you dumb cunt.

>>10175575
I know how to reply properly, don't feel like it, now go be an annoying bitch somewhere else.

>>10175599
>don’t feel like it
Then what’s the point of even posting, retard? Just admit that you don’t know how to reply.

>>10175534
be gone, you mongrel

>>10175560
>chii from Chobits
I second that!

>>10174581
woah, you look exactly like a guy I know at my uni. he's like 5'6, but otherwise its uncanny. I really like the idea of you cosplaying the heavy, it would be simple enough to do for a first cosplay. you'd probably have to shave your head though...
>>10175451
go as Chocola!
>>10175565
Ms. Victoria from Skullgirls, since you've done Bayo

>>10175687
>UmJammer Lammy cosplay

>>10174394
Takeo from My Love Story!!

>>10175565
That kitty looks so happy to be pet. I want to give it all my love.

Aside from that I feel like you were made for Tharja. Faye is a second runner up though, you'd look good as her as well. Also seconding Nana O. Or... Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell, Ryuko Matoi from KLK, Akane from Psycho Pass, Seras Victoria from Hellsing,

>>10175687
Chie for sure. You have her facial structure. Or Maya from Ace Attourney

>>10175687
If you're used to so many characters with short hair, I can recommend Pearl from Splatoon.

>>10174581
You gotta be this heavy specifically

>>10175687
you would make an excellent Chie for sure. if your a pokemon fan you could try Gardenia from diamond and perl

>>101755651
wow your Bayonetta is great! you would do a perfect Faye or Tharja!

>>10175451
the characters you have chosen are great for you. a good pike would be Roxanne from pokemon she has a cute dress and look.

>>10174985
go for more fate cosplay!!

>>10174394
DUDE! chibodee fore sure! it would be rad if you had his fan club.

>>10174581
Hugo from Street Fighter and Fezzik from Princess Bride
>>10175687
Soma Cruz from Castlevania. He's a boy but very feminine and kinda reminds me of 9s.
>>10177469
Def do Char and Wesker. I'd love to see you try Krauser form RE4 though. For more vidya villains, Volgin from MGS3

>>10177503
damn I'd love to cos Krauser I'll keep that one in mind

>>10175451
You'd be really cute as Zelda, I'm thinking BotW Zelda or A Link Between Worlds
>>10175565
I could see you as Yennefer from the Witcher 3
>>10175687
You'd look great as a lot of Kingdom Hearts characters, Sora/Roxas/Ven or Kairi/Naminé/Xion
>>10177469
Definitely Wesker, in the middle of the top row you also remind me of Edmure Tully a bit
>>10177503
Please do Huey, you would be perfect

Leave some suggestions pls guys

>>10174985
Definitely go for that tohsaka rin
>>10175565
Asuka would be fantastic!
>>10177469
Great bod man, ever thought of cosing kamina?

>>10178194
thanks man I did cosplay kamina years ago when I first started cosplay. you should look into cosplaying someone from fist of the north star you have the build for it.

>>10178194
you would be an amazing joseph joestar, relatively easy outfit + i think you have the features for him

>>10177503
lupin, sanji, or spike from cowboy bebop;; you're tall so a suit would fit you well

>>10177469
although the wig is hard, i think you're spot on for sephiroth, otherwise snake would also be a great choice

>>10175687
i think the short bob haircut suits you really well! i think annie from league or ms. fortune from skullgirls would be cute

>>10178311
I actually did do Spike Spiegel! He was my first cosplay! My real hair too. And yeah Lupin's been on my list for a while.

>>10178194
Connor pls go

>>10176471
I second this!!!

>>10178194
Be my bf pls

Bumpu

>>10174394
>>10175948
