[Anonymous No.6671104]

dear seagulls,

can we have a thread with awesome 29+ cosplayers? I am feeling depressed lately since I will be turning 30 in september and I only discovered the joys of cosplaying 1,5 year ago. I really don't want to give up yet but I get the feeling I can't compete with all the young cosplayers and people might find me ridiculous.

So. Could we have a thread with pics of fabulous 29+ cosplayers? I am a big fan of Maridah and I believe she is 31!

Actually, I think Rachel is turning 29 this year.
On another note, I don't care for her Yuki at all, she's too large and doesn't look the right age.

I am however a big fan of her Lina cosplay, but most of her older choices were pretty good.

Anon, I think you'll be fine.

Don't TRY to compete with the younger cosplayers, don't attempt to pull off twelve year old idol or loli characters. A thirty year old dressing as a school girl does look pretty ridiculous, and people will say as much. But don't let that stop you from cosplaying, just pick characters that suit your more mature features.

There are plenty of awesome characters that aren't baby faced high school students. Cosplay those and stay away from things that are better suited to people half your age. You aren't old at all, certainly not old enough to give up a hobby you enjoy. Just try to be smart about it.

Yes it is a difference in lighting. Natural everyday light, and a photo shoot setup. She doesn't walk around with pro lighting on her 24/7. But she also shoops her photos, anyone who tries to deny this is delusional.

She's pretty average. Not ugly by any means, but I don't think she looks as young as people think. She looks her age, especially outside of cosplay.

All she has to her name is a degree in art and a part time job at an anime store in Los Angeles. Give her a break, she probably enjoys cosplay because it gets her some respect in a field outside of her meager real life accomplishments.

Most 30 year old cosplayers look like shit, usually because lots of them insist on cosplaying teenage characters.

But it depends on your genetics, really. Some people age well but most don't.

I say cosplay if you want to, just know what would be flattering and what wouldn't be on your body. If you have really bad wrinkles or something that are making you self conscious, OP, try a masked character? Or an adult. If you're into Homestuck, there are 16 or more adults/ancestors to choose from.

Saging for self post.
Also, OP, I will be turning 30 in September as well! Don't worry about aging at all. My feeling is that as long as I don't look old, I will cosplay older teens and 20somethings, and then when I do look old I will cosplay older characters.
I am actually looking forward to being old enough to do a properly aged Dr. Strange.

Yes. Taking care of your body will help you live longer and in turn lessen aging effects.

Sometimes it can be chalked up to genetics, but eating right and taking care of your skin can help deter looking older then you are. No one believes I'm 25 when I tell them (but I also chalk this up to still being in college and wearing jeans and dumb t-shirts most of the time and acting fairly immature in general.)

Ugh. I'm about to be 24 and I feel like I'm getting too old to cosplay. But shit, I guess as long as I cosplay characters that aren't baby faced and are my age range and let myself age with grace, I guess I can keep the hobby up for a bit.

[Anonymous No.6671850]

Don't worry about getting a late start. It really doesn't matter. Pic related: I'm the Bellatrix, my friend is Snape. Snape was his first cosplay. He was 35-36, I think. Everyone just welcomed him to the hobby.

I know anime conventions tend to draw a younger crowd, but 30 is a pretty average age at scifi/fantasy/comic conventions. Plus, 30 is a good age to do literally almost any adult character you can think of. Even my friends who are in their 40's don't have much of a problem finding characters they like that are close in age to them.

I turned 30 this year, but no one believes me when I say that. I don't bother "competing" or comparing myself to younger cosplayers because I'm totally at peace with myself. I have disposable income for the hobby and my work is only getting better. Age is really just a number and those overemphasizing youth are going to be woefully disappointed as they themselves age. Honestly, there's no reason not to enjoy life as you want to. If you feel too awkward to be at anime cons, move to different genres where older individuals tend to congregate. But really, don't feel like you ever HAVE to quit doing something because the internet thinks being over 20 is time to get your rocking chair and pack it in, retire to your seniors assisted living home.

24 is young. i started realllly getting serious about cosplay around that age. Also, when you think about it, you need to have both skills and funds/money to get better, so all the really good cosplayers i know are closer to 30 now or in their 30's.

A lot of fairly well-known cosplayers who have been around since the early to mid-2000s, if not earlier, are likely 30 or close to it. I think now that a bunch of them are hitting that milestone and still going strong, it's not going to be as big of a deal anymore.

I started cosplaying in '04, but I was also 14 at the time, so I'm still relatively young compared to a lot of the cosplayers I looked up to in my first few years.

[Anonymous No.6672764]

I doubt most of you truly look younger than your age. Your body will grow and your face matures no matter what you do. You can look GOOD for your age by taking care of your skin, but a 30 year old does not look like a teenager. You lived a decade+ longer, you shouldn't look the same. Plus, the way you dress really affects how people perceive you. Being anime fans, I'm sure you dress more childish than the average 20-30 whatever year old you are.

I'm not saying it's not possible, pic related. She plays a 17 year old on the show and she'll be turning 28 this year. She's petite, but the lack of makeup really helps her look younger.

This might sound like a butthurt rant, but just... don't look desperate. Act your age and embrace it!

I just turned 30 last year, and was going to quit cosplaying because I felt too old. I only really started getting into it maybe 3 years ago, and I was already feeling too old then. Anyways, long story short, I'm still cosplaying, I just stay away from characters that I'm clearly too old for.

A plus side to cosplaying mature or older characters is that everyone gravitates to the cute, sexy, young ones, so people are refreshed when seeing characters that aren't cosplayed all the time. Use it to your advantage!

[Anonymous No.6672851]

I don't get this "I must quit cosplay just because I'm about to turn 30". I know plenty of people who have cosplayed well into their late 30's and are still cosplaying. Only quit when you don't enjoy it any more.

Anime cosplay tends to be obsessed with youthful appearance so aim for other types of cosplay.

I know of someone who is 38 and is still cosplaying.

The upside of cosplaying when you are older is that you have more of an income to spend on cosplay so it will be better.

I'm 25 and people confuse me for high school age on a regular basis. Last time I went to the dentist, I got asked what year of high school I was in. And last time I went shopping they tried to pitch a certain style to me by saying 'this is great for someone just entering high school'.

I mean, when you're a teenager you constantly try and look older (laughably I might add) and then when a lot of people get older they keep trying to brag about how they are mistaken for teenagers... which always confused me, meaning they looked terrible or they looked like they were trying too hard to look a certain age.

yeah see, you don't wear makeup (probably don't pluck your eyebrows or anything) and wear plain clothes, which is pretty stereotypical young person. But I mean I don't thikn that means you look 14 I think it just means you don't have those normal points that other people look for to determine age (makeup a certain way, hair done, clothing a certain way) so they default to younger. I wouldn't really take it as a compliment I would just take it as a nuetral I guess. I mean I knew people in high school who had wrinkles, so I don't even go off of wrinkles anymore in judging people. there is that one lolita (the one who does all the 'shit lolitas say' videos) with the super deep smile lines and she looks old, but I am pretty sure she's not old.

I dunno, maybe this was a wasted effort in the end to get my point across heh. But I def looked like the left picture when I was a teenager except worse skin, and I would never want to look like that again.

I honestly like the picture on the left, she seems really natural and content. She definitely could have done something with the hair, but had she not been wearing the ita dress she would have looked real cute with a simple hairstyle.

The right, I'm sorry to say, is just overdone and very fake looking. A lot of people go through this phase as teens and I can understand that. But it looks acrid and forced. I'm sure she'll grow out of it though once she realizes the damage it's doing to her hair and how tedious it is to wear that much makeup everyday.

[Anonymous No.6677763]

the problem i'm seeing is that characters are getting younger and younger and the age spread is getting bigger and bigger: more younger cosplayers that will outnumber the older cosplayers. The only way that anyone can survive is if they are blessed to have A) great make-up skills or B) start making more elaborate cosplays. Personally, for guys especially, I pick the later. A guy in his late 20s, early 30s should not be cosplaying Ouran Host Club at this point and should start to consider more elaborate and more mature cosplays. My suggestion since since there's alot of options? Metal Gear Rising cosplay.

As you age, your lips thin out. So plumper lips looks younger.

I think it also depends on what the rest of your face looks like, if you have a long gaudy face of course thin lips are going to make you look worse, but on a younger looking face they probably don't matter that much.

Height also plays into it, which is retarded since height stops matching age pretty early on in life. I'm 4'9" and constantly mistaken for being 14-15 (I'm 21). Facially, I look the same as all my friends my age but the ones over 5'9" are always mistaken as being in their late 20s.

Wow, it's interesting how many fellow near-30 and 30+ year olds are here. Day to day, I have a tendency to be mistaken for 17-21 (just a couple months ago I was at a store and a cashier asked if I was on my way home from school) but at work, in a definite older crowd, people think I am 25+. In terms of cosplay, I have figured out that if I do male cosplays, I look young, and in my female cosplays, I resemble my age more.

I turn 30 this year and feel a bit nervous, especially since I have noticed some fine lines and dullness in my skin. I'd like to repair it somehow, though not with photoshop since those I cosplay with I know in person, so it would be weird to look different/younger just in pics. I know all these years I have had genetics on my side cause I don't really take care of myself as much as I should. I rarely wear makeup though, so I guess that is good? I try to drink as much as 64oz in a day, but mostly milk and juice. For food, I just grab whatever but I am definitely not opposed to eating healthy. I have heard of different skin treatments ranging from avocado mask to egg mask and even aloe, but does anyone know what works best? I have oily skin, so I am already quite moisturized.

31 here. Been cosplaying since 2002, and I feel I have no reason to stop.

There's a difference between knowing that you've aged but not looking your age, and swearing up and down that you actually look 14 but you really don't. Just about everyone assumes right off the bat that I'm in my early 20's, and are shocked when they find out my age. I don't have any deep set fine lines and wrinkles (I'm noticing small changes but nothing the average person would notice. Will Iook closer to my age in about 5-7 years, probably. Until then, I'm rocking it while I've got it. Fuck the rest. I'm in my prime. Can I realistically pull off a 12 year old? No. Can I make myself look like a believable 18-20 year old? Yes. Do I care? No.

When it comes to makeup, it depends on how it's applied and the colors used. Brighter, softer colors tend to give a better appearance of youth while darker colors look more mature. I highly doubt that this actress is not wearing makeup as she's on film. She's at least wearing foundation and very light natural colored makeup. If she were wearing dark eyeliner and dark lipstick, she'd look her age.

Wigs and hairstyles can do a lot too. More youthful hairstyles and soft colors make me look much younger. Dark colors, updos, anything more mature makes me actually look my age. I play around with this as needed.

Also acting your age has nothing to do with looking your age. And when it comes to being 30, acting your age means paying your bills, showing up to your job on time, taking care of responsibilities before play time, and pay your taxes. Anything else is fair game.

Life doesn't dramatically change when you hit 30 and you now have to give up everything, just like no magical moment happened when you turned 18 or 21 (or whatever your drinking age is). If anyone really thinks they need to give up everything at a certain age, they are one sorry motherfucker and I pity them.

I have oily, combination, acne prone skin. When I first started using it, I broke out on my forehead a lot, so I just stopped using it for months. I started up recently again, using noxema with it, and I haven't broken out, but I haven't seen improvement with my blackheads either. I don't use it every day because I don't know if my skin can handle that. I use it like once every 3 days or so.

Should I use it more? Or less often? It feels like a waste of 100 bucks.

[Anonymous No.6686607]

Likely you broke out because your skin was not used to the new treatment. Whenever I do something new, even switch facewash brands, I break out until my skin adjusts to it.

30 is not as old as younger people seem to think. When you hit 30 you won't feel any older (or look any older) than you did at 20-25 (depending on genetics, of course). Even if you are one of the people who do look a bit older, you probably won't feel any older.

True. People that exercise and eat well can stay as fit as they were in the 20's for a long time. And though skin does eventually get old and less supple someone that doesn't spend their time in the sun unprotected can also keep their skin very youthful for a long time, too.

Weight is also a big factor, it's not just about your face. You tend to look younger when you're skinnier. Being curvy doesn't make you look like a grandma, but it's a more "adult" body in most cases.

Girl in Op's picture (Maridah) has a young face for the most part, but she's pretty thick if you see her in normal clothes, and thus I feel like she does look like her age overall. Especially without the circle lenses and wigs, she bleaches her hair, and it looks frizzy/damaged. So I guess that's another thing, hair can make and break how old/young you look too.

I didn't say emacieted. Petite/thin folks generally have a younger look around them. A round face is most definitely youthful to a point, but if you're six feet and 250 lbs with said round face, you won't look very young, sorry.

Even if you're not chubby, you simply have a good size chest and hips/ass, you won't look like the average ten year old.

>I'd rather be thick and cute than thin and aged.
I know that feel
I wouldn't mind being chubby, I don't gain weight very easily but as I am now, I look sickly, it doesn't help that I'm pale either.
I'm trying to steadily gain more weight but it's going very slowly, I've started at 45kg, now I'm 46/47 and I hope it won't go down again (my height is 5'3''-5'4'')
My goal is 50-55kg, hopefully by then I won't look like a landwhale yet but my cheeks will have filled up a bit.

I'm 28 and I've been wanting to get into cosplay since I got into anime over fifteen years ago but I never took the first step. So now I'm at a point where I'm financially successful and all that so I figure why not.

I'd like to cosplay from Sailor Moon but would that be considered too old? I also like Evangelion but I could never cosplay a pilot, even if it'd be fun - I don't think so.

I was thinking of making a list of older characters from all fandoms would help.

Evangelion
Misato
Ritsuko
Gendo
Yui
Fuyutsuki
Kaji

Sailor Moon
Setsuna
Queen Serenity
Neo Queen Serenity
Sailor Cosmos
Sailor Galaxia
I'd argue too that you could even cosplay the regular senshi but that could be a grey area.

Final Fantasy 7 and 8. Some of the characters are in their late teens and early 20's so that may work too.
Also FF with simply character classes since there aren't ages assigned to that.

Pokèmon
Gijinka maybe
Some professors
OC Trainer

DC, Marvel and American comics could work better since the characters are older but you also have to be more athletic to pull it off, just from a character to real life aspect. Could possibly cosplay some younger characters too but that's a grey area.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

[Anonymous No.6688890]

Do you even Gundam? 20-30s character goldmine. Also what's more helpful is figure out the minimum age you can realistically be. Could you pass off for late teens or early 20s? Does this change if cross dressing? Don't go below your minimum visual age or you'll be less happy.

[Anonymous No.6688919]

I'm the same as you. I've been into anime since 1998 but I've never had the nerve to cosplay. I'd like to finally do it before I get too old..

Pretty much the same as me. I'mover 30, been an anime fan since the 80's when I watched Robotech. Only cosplay I ever did though was comic book stuff back in the late 90's. Now I feel like it's really hard to find acceptance for this hobby for someone my age. As a male it's especially hard to not get looked at strangely when you endorse the idea of putting together a cosplay.

[Anonymous No.6689114]

Shyness, and lack of friends to cosplay with. I'm not as shy anymore, but I still don't have friends. I find it hard to meet people in their late 20s+ to goof around with.

There comes a time in each individual's life, where he should realize he should cosplay no more.

It's around the age ~25.

Honestly I think it will be easier for you, people tend to judge men a lot less harshly based on appearance so age shouldn't matter too much. Go for it, just don't cosplay teenage characters.

[Anonymous No.6689616]

Does anyone know what the age demographic of this board is like? Has anyone ever done some kind of survey thing? I'm quite interested.

[Anonymous No.6689639]

>>6689573

If you want to get technical, even 25 is too old. At the end of the day, we're still adults running around in costumes.

That being said, your opinions are invalid for they do not rule the world nor anyone else's opinions.

Well, look at the bright side, nobody is going to say you are "past your prime" and if you're good-looking, you will be admired.

[Anonymous No.6691263]

>>6689681

Yeah, but that still doesn't change a major problem - everyone else around here is ten or more years younger than me, and I get seen as a creeper just for even associating with others that share my hobby. Probably because I'm not particularly good looking.

[Anonymous No.6691617]

I'm the anon you quoted and i'd encourage you to do at least one. That's my goal hehe. And I'm with you about finding others who just want to chill and watch anime and the like. I'm a fan of a lot of things but I'm not hardcore into the fandoms of some anime.

>>6689036
I think it depends on what series you want to cosplay. American comics have a lot of older characters as the standard.

The anon who posted about Gundam, I do like it but not all the time. I want to cosplay something cute and fun but in anime that usually falls under the cute and young characters.

For attention obviously? I remember her tweets about the show as well, she really seemed to dislike Asuna in particular.

Which I think is darn shame, because used to be all about cosplaying characters she really loved, even if they were obscure/unpopular. But with more "fame" I've noticed she's started pandering a bit with her choices.

>>6691794

Yeah, she made it too big, but it doesn't change the fact she's not exactly "skinny".

Heidi, she's 31.

As long as you stick to age appropriate characters you'll be fine, OP. just don't try to dress as a 15 year old loli.

[Anonymous No.6692027]

I'm 31, and I think I look it, although people periodically tell me I don't. I didn't attend my first con until I was 25, and didn't cosplay until I was 26. I did a few 15-year-old characters when I was 26, but I won't push my luck now. I cosplay a lot of characters with masks or full makeup these days, which hides a multitude of aging sins.

Yeah, I think there is quite the amount of little kids here who actually believe "oMG, 30's, like, so old!" and actually have no idea what real people at a certain age look like.

I was basically going with "way over 40" because I don't think you need to have just as many wrinkles as the character does, but a very young looking person cosplaying an old person with lot of drawn-on wrinkles is just as bad as an older person cosplaying a teen character.

[Anonymous No.6693944]

>>6687621
Implying that people don't have big boobs or look remotely developed at a young age. I was a D cup by 14. FYI, girls mature faster that boys. While you're still squeaking and 4 feet tall, we're biologically able to reproduce and for the most part have reached our adult heights. Some of us physically fill out much younger, where guys tend to not look like adults until mid to late teens.

That is... unless you're equating looking young to looking prepubescent. Which yeah, you're not going to look like a 10 year old girl if you have boobs and hips, but you can certainly make a convincing like a 16 year old if you have the face for it.

[Anonymous No.6693963]

>>6693913 Yeah, I think there is quite the amount of little kids here who actually believe "oMG, 30's, like, so old!"

This this this! 30 really isn't even that old. Plus by this age a person is generally more financially stable and can afford better costumes/supplies and bigger cons.

All the girls posted here look lovely and I think as long as you take care of yourself you won't look like an ancient hag.
