I never cosplayed before and want to start out by recreating Ace from One Piece.
Could I pull it off?
Any other better characters that might fit me better?
Where do I buy all the stuff I need?
Is there a community discord or sum?
Thanks in advance

The character I wanted to do most of all was Don Flamingo but I feel like it's not suited for what I look like.

You need to change your mindset. Cosplay isn't about which characters you look most like, it's about the fun you have transforming yourself to look and act like that character using clothing, wigs, makeup, props and more. It's like a theater performance. Can you imagine if we only cast actors who already looked exactly like the character they were meant to play? Each actor would have like 3 roles tops. Just do it. Have fun.

>Where do I buy all the stuff I need?
Do some research. Youtube is a fantastic resource on where to buy within your needs. In general, a cosplay website would be the best bet for you. Even amazon.

>Is there a community discord or sum?
Nope, just here. There's plenty out there though. Most of the popular cosplay youtubers have them.

Any recommendations?
Ace has very much more square face that's what made me unsure of it

Don't have a drop of brown blood in me.
Father is 100% Austro-Venetian while mother is 50% Jap and 50% Brit.
The big nose is correct lol

It's not a perfect fit but it can look good nonetheless if you put care into the cosplay. It's similar enough to not be off putting.

Please don’t cosplay Ace unless you work out a lot and have rock hard abs.

Brah when I saw the OP pic I assumed you were Mexican. Not that it matters if you were, but you're obviously insecure about your race lmao

Actually yeah I think it would. You have the right jaw line and eye shape for this charcter. Everything else will just be make up and clothes so ur solid man good luck

Not gonna lie dude the fact that people are trying so hard to shit on your looks means your probly at least 60% hotter then them. Put 4chan down for a min and go work on your costume before the jelouse bitchs on here shit their own pants.
