Do you consider Gijinka and OCs to be legit cosplay?
I don't mean I tore through my closet threw shit on and named it OC. I mean like a well designed and thought out OC from a series/world/multiverse.

Bonus points for good pictures of either!

Personally I like gijinkas due to the fact that they have freedom, yet stick close enough to what the character is supposed to be.
OCs on the other hand are harder to pinpoint because you won't be recognized unless the OC is well-known enough. As long as it makes the cosplayer though, that is what matters to me at least. A depressed cosplayer just sucks to see.

>> No.7584387

>>7584313
I agree but I do find for general cosplay even if I don't know the character but the cosplay looks really well done or creative I will ask for a picture and try to figure it out later or ask the cosplayer if they're not getting bum rushed by people and requests. Am I alone in that?

I rally love well-made gijinkas, and it seems most of /cgl/ does as well (seen very little hate on the concept here, people will only complain about the lazy and overdone ones, like a yellow bikini top, hotpants and ears to become 'sexy Pikachu')

You mean, as long as it makes them happy?
I agree! It's also nice if (assuming the OC is a fan character) they got enough of the "style" of whatever the original franchise was like to make them recognizable as from that world
.
I dont see OC cosplay much though. Basically never, unless you count people wearing Naruto headbands and not cosplaying a specific character

Not at all! An original creation that was made with such care can always be awesome! I love a creative costume, even if it isn't from a series because you can usually tell how much work someone put into it. Beginner or veteran, if a cosplayer shows they did their best, the creative side will shine through.

This is the crown so far.
2ds for scale, it's pretty massive, but also very light, but expectedly top-heavy. I am considering getting little teardrop shaped fishing weights and painting them to look like my jewelry and added on. Not sure whether the lead is safe near my face though even if painted. I will try to get tungsten steel ones since it's less toxic if I can.

The cape part on the back is mostly to incorporate the blue streak and the tail bit. It should sit flat and then the little piece with the tail will stick up a bit at the end.

I really like well done OC cosplay. If it's completely original I probably won't recognize it but costumes that look good stand out anyway.

some day I'd like to cosplay one of my OCs. Just some crazy weaboo aberration that I made when I was 13 but it has sentimental value to me lol.

I also really love well done gikinkas. bikini + pokemon ears irk me but I appreciate when people can do creative outfits.

And then in terms of games like mmorpgs where you create your own player character I think it's good to cosplay them if you don't have an NPC that you really like or is recognisable enough. if I were to ever cosplay from GW or GW2 I'd probably do that because there really aren't any NPCs I like enough to cosplay, especially not from the second game. But if you do an outfit/armor set that people know they'll still know that you're from the game.

I love cosplaying OCs even if it's just a design and doesn't have a backstory to it. Mostly I blame that TinierMe/DreamSelfy thing for creating a ton of OCs to cosplay. I've got one now I still haven't done but it's always a possibility.

Well, it's Mamoru who holds the sailor crystal of the planet Earth. Only females can be Senshi (cause Naoko says) so that's why there is no Sailor Earth. It's technically Mamoru but he can't be a Sailor Senshi. So that's why you can't have Naru or your OC be Sailor Earth, nobody else can have that sailor crystal

Yeah, it doesn't really make sense why literally every other planet in the galaxy has a female protector born with the sailor crystal and Earth is apparently the only one where its a guy. But yeah most people don't know that or put it together and that's why we have all these Sailor Earths running around.

An OC is just dumb, I mean, you don't actually have to make something cannon, but a Gijinka I consider cosplay. I consider alot of them shit-tier cosplay, like pokemon with just ears and a tail is shit.

Honestly there's nothing I hate more than any Pokemon (and Pony, actually) gijinkas that involve the ears and tail.
Isn't the point of a gijinka to be a human form? Human Eevee wouldn't have the fox ears and tail because humans don't have those. There's artistic liberty, and then there's just lazy and uncreative.

I cosplayed pic related from an artists' drawing on pixiv for some mascot contest. I thought it was adorable and wanted to challenge my sewing ability. I guess it's the same reason as people cosplay from sakizou designs.

Weird gijinka? Weird gijinka.

This guy is one of my favorite artists, and he has a series of personifications of toxic substances and such. Unfortunately, most of them aren't at all feasible for cosplay unless you're really damn ambitious. Still something it'd be neat to see someone take inspiration from, though.

Maybe take the tail off the skirt and find a way to work it into the design? The rest is adorable as fuck, it's just the tail that's off.

As long as you don't corner me and talk for 30 minutes about your OC. I really don't care, as I don't love them like you do.

Thanks, and I'll try and see if there's another way to work it in. I'm not very punk though, so it might look a little strange haha.

In the meantime, I've been working on a shinx. (Finding color schemes that work well with darker tones is suffering)
