In my opinion there's actually a disparity between normal cosplayers/character kigs and OC kigs

Cosplayers usually cosplay because they like a series/particular character and want to dress up as that character perhaps with friends who like the same thing to show their appreciation for the character and the series, but they're still very much into the social aspect.

Character kigs are sort of the same except they want to represent the character as well as is physically possible and forego the socialization to a degree, this is often because the character they really want to represent doesn't look at all like how they look in real life.

OC kigs on the other hand seem to want to kig purely for the experience of crossdressing and wearing a mask etc etc, I'm not saying there isn't overlap but its often more likely that these types of kigs will be into the fetish side to a degree or do it as some for of escapism(I mean think how many people buy kigs compared to how many you actually see.)

My point is that if you can already convincingly cosplay a character you probably wouldn't feel the need to do a kig of them because it takes away some aspects of the experience

(I'm seriously writing essay amounts of bullshit here but its fun to write about)
