Cosplay ideas?

Myst and I are both going to comic con and we're not sure what to cosplay. We want to go as two people from the same anime/game/media/whatever, but we aren't sure who to go as, there's lots of problems. Some of my thoughts:

Mako and Bolin-Problems: I don't have the skin for Mako, he isn't quite fat enough to be Bolin

Stein and Soul from Soul Eater-Problems: I don't have the skin for Stein, Stein and Soul aren't exactly related, I *could* be Kid, but I REALLY don't have the skin for him.

Sora and Roxas-Problems: He's already been Roxas, I can't grow my hair enough for Sora in time, I'd have to wig it.

Pit and Dark Pit-Problems: I don't have the skin, neither of us have the hair

Hope and Snow-Problems: I don't have the skin for Hope, he hates Snow.

Just brainstorming. I don't know what to do. Ideas?

 

here is a note, I have no problem with Roxas again and I like Snow...

 

I say just cosplay for fun. But that's just me. And happens to be what I'm planning on doing for Anime Expo.

 

I think it'd be interesting to see you guys do Hope and Snow. Although, for the Roxas, would he be doing him when he was in the Organization Roxas, or when he was wearing the black and white clothes which makes me think of a chess set

 

I have the Org XIII cloak. Getting the other outfit is not that challenging either.

 

personally I like Roxas better in his Organization XIII outfit. But it still all just depends on what you guys think. I just want pictures so I can see what you guys look like. Too bad I can't go to the place and meet you guys in person

 

I look terrible in this photo but it's what I've got so gotta deal with it

Spoiler

 

Skin shouldn't stop you from cosplaying someone, heck I've seen a black guy cosplay Saix, and I didn't care, he was still good, so I'd say cosplay who you can get done sooner

 

If you're worried bout skin colour, you could go as Xemnas, Xehanort, Ansem Seeker of Darkness, etc.
And Myst could go as Roxas. Or another org member if he wants to try something.

 

Skin colour should never be a factor in cosplay.

Gender should be, just weird when cross dressing cross gender **** gets into these things.

Go as who you want, regardless of colour, MJ did say don't matter if you're Black or White yo.

 

I agree with all of this exept the gender bit.
Almost all of my cosplays are guys (Hell, I was the Doctor just last week), and tbh I've seen some very convincing guys dressed as girls.

My personal pet peeve for when people cosplay is if they get an outfit that's way too small for them. Especially if they're... bigger.
Point is, if you like a character, you can cosplay them, no matter what. Just... please please please make sure the costume fits right.

 

And here's a picture in which I look terrible

We're now thinking about Sora and Roxas seriously, but the finances are a bit of an issue.

 

Cosplay as Myst and Sokka.

 

Only thing that really matters is if your costume looks good or not, gender, skin, etc doesn't mean anything. I mean hell, I technically have two completely different skintones, but very rarely is it brought up. Do what you love and others will appreciate it.
Your Sokka is still A+ though omfg

 

I know what you guys mean about skin color but...I just, I don't know, I prefer to cosplay characters that I have skin for, that's all. It just feels more "Right". I totally respect not feeling that way but I just prefer it.

Haha thanks Wolfie, I'm not gonna lie I'm still pretty proud of my Sokka. I would have done it again this year, but I would have had to grow my hair out again and that sucked last time, I absolutely hate having long hair, and I look even worse with long hair than I normally do (And I know that seems like it's impossible, but it's not). Plus, having a mohawk for months afterward was a bit strange.

Anyway we've decided on Sora and Roxas!

...my legs are a little bit insanely hairy for Sora, but oh well.

 

wax .

 

Not enough people cosplay as this guy.

 

what game is that?

 

Persona 3 Portable.

 

Skin color, gender or size should never stop you.
Ever.

You just need to find a cosplay you find yourself comfortable in, and that fits you.

Hell, I've cosplayed Nick from Left 4 Dead 2, Touya (from Pokemon Black and White) and Male!Maka from the Soul Eater manga
Three totally different body types, haircolors and skin, height etc.
I've made it work.
