Waiting for my Maki cosplay to arrive! Tho I have a question, should I use a black wig of 150 cm or a shorter dark brown one? Because I don't think I'll ever find the right colour with the right lenght

[Anonymous No.9694481]

>>9694219
A black wig sounds nice anon! I'm sure it'll look cute her design goes well with a dark color.

[Anonymous No.9694513]

>>9694219
Shorter is gonna end up being better. If you're wearing her to a con, chances are, your wig is gonna get tangled fast. It'll be easier to maintain throughout the day and less likely to tangle if it's shorter. Which would look better than a ratty one of an accurate length.

I'll be debuting as shuichi saihara at ANYC

Really wanted to do Kokichi, but Goodwill didn't have any good white coats to tailor up.

[Anonymous No.9694728]

Gf and I did Junko and Nagito at Youma. It was fun being a Shitposting Hope Boi.

[Anonymous No.9694819]

I want to cosplay Kokichi but... so does everyone else. I guess that's not really a reason not to do it, though. He's literally the second, if not The most popular character in V3?

[Anonymous No.9694970]

>>9694185
I did Korekiyo at MCM about 2 weeks ago, it was quite shabby but I still had fun with it

[Anonymous No.9695000]

Cosplaying Maki cause she's the only V3 girl that matches my overall look and designs I'm geared towards wearing, however my heart belongs to another.

[Anonymous No.9695023]

I don't know if I should do one of the girls who I can actually pull off or my absolute favorite (Rantaro). I'm looking forward to seeing more new good DR cosplays in general, though, now that most of the underage fanbase seems to have trickled out.

[Anonymous No.9695039]

I really want to do Tenko but my bodyshape would fit Maki a lot more.

[Anonymous No.9695548]

So I'm guessing Maki and Kokichi is gonna be the most popular ones from the cast cosplay wise?

[Anonymous No.9696212]

>>9694185
I cosplayed Kaede and debuted her at Anime Boston 2017. I'm for sure doing Kaito for next AB, and eventually I want to do Miu, Maki and Kiibo.
I've also cosplayed Peko, and a lot of people seem to like it.

[Anonymous No.9696353]

I'll be doing Korekiyo for a con in the near future. I like his aesthetic a lot and imo I think that my body type pretty much matches his, so I've got good hopes for this one. I'm also planning on putting on lipstick underneath the mask just in case anyone asks me to take it off or if they ask if I have it on underneath. I'm kind of glad though that a lot of younger fans already cosplayed/got V3 out of their system months ago when they couldn't wait for the game to come out. V3 wasn't my favorite in the series though, so I'll probably go back to cosplaying past games after this.

[Anonymous No.9696750]

Probably going to display Himiko because I'm small and relate to her laziness way too much. Might do prologue Himiko though for the time being!

[Anonymous No.9696777]

gonna cosplay sayaka, kirumi and mikan at ohayo and katsucon! I pretty recently debuted mikan at youma and had a great time too. Looking forward to seeing new drv3 cosplayers in 2018, i know almost all of my con lineups next year have a dang rope somewhere

[Anonymous No.9697476]

OP here. I plan to cosplay Kaede and Suichi at locan cons this year and next. Unfortunately DR isn't really popular around here but I'm sure it'll be fun.

[Anonymous No.9701882]

>>9696353
I'm probably going to be doing Korekiyo sometime soon in the future, too. Chances are I'll have to buy the costume, though, since I don't think I'm at the level to make something that complicated yet.

This actually strikes me as a surprise. I always thought Shuichii would be more popular among fans to cosplay but it seems it is Korekiyo instead huh

[Anonymous No.9702687]

>>9702684
Oh, make no mistake - the last time I was at a Danganronpa shoot (Youmacon), Shuuichi was by far the most popular. However, I kind of feel like Korekiyo appeals to the 4chan crowd (just look at /drg/), so it's not surprising that people from here would cosplay him.

[Anonymous No.9702715]

>>9696353
I feel like in reality the lipstick would just smear all over the mask and all over your face. I could be wrong, though.

[Anonymous No.9702890]

>>9702684
Shuichi is technically the most popular character in V3 according to a character poll but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s gonna be a tie between him and Korekiyo. Oh and Kokichi

[Anonymous No.9702941]

>>9702715
For Korekiyo's lipstick I would recommend a liquid matte lip to prevent smearing.

I cosplayed Kokichi at a con earlier in the month and just had a bunch of people come up and tell me how much they hated my character. Felt pretty bummed about it but I'm
gonna be cosplaying him again with my boyfriend as Shuichi at a con in January so I guess I'm a lil bit more excited.

[Anonymous No.9705898]

>>9703363
Don't let that discourage you from cosplaying him, Anon. Sounds like the same kind of people who shit all over Nagito because 'hurr durr he killed my waifu'. I'll never understand why some people feel the need to harass someone for cosplaying a character they don't like.

Planning on cosplaying Kokichi myself, and maybe Kirumi or Miu afterwards. Gonna wait a few months until the hype dies down even more though.

I see a lot of Kaede's coming out of the work due to how easy it is to BS her outfit.

On the men's side for see a lot of skinny/fat Gonta's and fugly Kaito's without wigs

Do you know if this maki has Instagram or Twitter? She’s very cute!

[Anonymous No.9707259]

I wanna cosplay one of the warriors of hope from AE/despair girls (specificially Kotoko or Monaca’s military outfit from the AE episode of DR3). If I don’t do that it’d probably be Chiaki, Celestia, Touko, or possibly a gijinka of Usami

However, I’d also really like to cosplay the beta/concept art version hifumi’s sister, fujiko. (Pic related!)
Kotoko actually gets her hair style from this concept art. I’m not worried about people recognizing me (since I’m doing this for me) but my current problem is colors.
According to the wiki her hair is white in the beta pic, but unfortunately I can’t read the sheet either way.
I was thinking of doing the colors like her final design or like her brothers colors but for the outfit I’m not sure what sort of school she goes to since it’s most likely not Hope’s Peak.

Thanks for any help!

I bought an Arda Delilah in espresso for her and I love it, it's perfect, but only if you really know your shit when it comes to wig care.

Im planning on cosplaying Miu, her wig color is really hard to find and I ended up with a peachy pink. Which one are you going to use anon?

[Anonymous No.9710034]

I want to cosplay as Shuichi and I've got pretty much everything figured out except for one minor (not very minor at all) detail: his coat.

What the fuck is it and how can I find it/try to modify an existing coat into looking like it? All of the Shuichi cosplays I see on sale have the coat but it looks like garbage.

[Anonymous No.9710180]

>>9708188
Miu is the one in pink right? Haven't played 3 yet but I've cosplayed junko, and their hair color looks really similar. So I'd agree with a pale peachy pink, but maybe look up other Miu cosplayers to see what they did

[Anonymous No.9710255]

I made my shuichi coat out of an oversized pinstriped suit. I basically found the largest size at a Goodwill and stretched one side over the other to make it look assymetrical. I used the same color grey fabric for all the details (buttons, stripes on shoulder, pocket flaps, etc). I bought these buttons that you can put cloth in and used the same grey fabric (taken from a pair of gray pants). I bought the patches on etsy.

It's 100 doable, and I agree with the premade jacket looking like ass.

Shuichis costume (IMO) is one of the easier things to make if you're starting to sew. Pretty fun project. I'm also a bit proud about cosplay and prefer handmade by a wide margin, so his cosplay was a no-brainer

Hope this helps

[Anonymous No.9712957]

I always use heels when I can. Even if it's less accurate, it does make legs look longer and better, so always worth it. (unless heels are SUPER out of character)

I plan on cosplaying Kaito but I don't want my wig to look like shit. Anyone cosplaying him or know of any good Kaito cosplayers for reference?

[Anonymous No.9713423]

>>9703363

I dislike him but at the same time I realise that if he incites that sort of reaction from me then he's actually doing his job very very well. I recognise him as a well thought out antagonist. People aren't supposed to like or trust him because nothing he does makes any sense other than just causing some harmless anarchy - something he shares with Junko, except she isn't harmless and I hate her way more.

Dont let people bother you, they just don't understand him very well as a plot device. It's unrealistic to expect people to love every single character but more often than not you can usually get something out of them being there. A lot of the plot wouldn't have panned out as it did or been as interesting as it was had he not been there.

[Anonymous No.9713427]

Thats really funny because I cosplay Chiaki and my other half cosplays Nagito, but a lot of the people we encounter adore seeing him and will always stand up for him - not that I blame the character but the way they vocalise it make it sound as though they've had conversations with people who do.

These costumes, dear fucking god. Are they made out shower curtains? They look like pure shit. Rantaro's shirt is especially bad, but shuichis coat has such weird folds and maki's outfit has such an artificial gleam...

Nearly every DR cosplay I've seen uses the same shitty taobao costumes, and they all look like the shitty Halloween costumes you get at Party City. Same shitty nylon material and same shitty gleam/oversaturation. The funniest part is people paying for a photographer for that. Might as well buy one for Halloween lmao

Nah, I'm just incredibly autistic about cosplay craftsmanship, or the lack of it since they're clearly bought.

Why hire a photographer to shoot a costume you bought, especially when it looks like shit? What are you showing off, your credit card skills? It's the same as the costhots, except they're not thots. Which begs the question, why?

I'm not at the level that I'm proud of it yet, but point taken. My bad for being so autismo about it.

I guess I'm just tired of all the normies that put in the bare minimum of effort of just buying their shit and then bragging on their instas about it. I know several girls IRL that are sponsors for random weeb brands and all they do is just take photos of themselves in shitty taobao costumes and rake in the bux. It's a large part of jealousy to be honest.

I feel like it takes away from the gritty appeal of cosplaying for me personally. Like just buying it instead of making it dilutes the appeal of cosplaying. I'm struggling to find a comparison, but yeah, you're right about it, I should let it go.

[Anonymous No.9715617]

>>9715489

In all honesty its not your place to say what makes a wholesome cosplay experience. Sure, making your own and going through the motions of cocking it up and finally getting it right might be your personal preference to what makes cosplay what it is, but it isn't the case for everybody.

I have a friend who used to make all of hers, and then gradually wound down to buying a few. It's mostly because of work and other stuff, and then shes gone back even further to only making like one a year because again, work, getting her own place, better job offers etc. Once she's figured that out she'll be back on all cylinders.
She's tried a bunch of different approaches to cosplay but I wouldn't say one is worth less than the others. She still had fun and wasn't stressed out or tired at the cons trying to do the impossible. It might be the same for other people and they might want to enjoy it without the time constraints, stress etc. Maybe they just don't enjoy the making aspect and enjoy just having their picture taken as their favourite characters?

Different folks, different strokes.
