Conventions

[Seb]

I might show up to comicon in san diego next year :3

I'll probably try to be one of the very few MALE link cosplays.. no offense to the girl ones.. they are usually pretty good :0

Ugh, please, go as something else. Link cosplays are so overdone.

something Cogs said

1) >Supercon
>Megacon

They're both in Florida but still.

2) Trust me, you'll be surprised. It's not as bad as you think.

Personally I think that being the only one of any individual cosplay isn't what I am going for.

It's more like.. if I attempt a legitimate reproduction.. I will be 1 of 3 really decent links.. 2 others probably girls LOL

the other 23 can suck it

It's not that hard to make a Link cosplay, though. Of the ten or so links that showed up to Supercon, a good six of them looked amazing. None of them were girls. If you want to, go ahead, but I'm sure you can definitely do much better.

Bitch please.

This shit takes hard work and dedication.

sexy as fuck.

YOU bitch please, the hardest part of that looks like the gloves and waiting for the shield and sword to come in the mail. What would really take hard work and dedication a making an costume of armor, or something elaborate. Link's outfit is neither elaborate or armor, and ergo is easy to make.

Simple outfits can be more elaborate then you think. Trust me. Making super cool looking armor may take a lot of time, but making a simple outfit look legit takes a lot of time and work too. The people who made that cosplay made the shield and the sword, made the outfit and the boots and shit. Then you have makeup to do, a long with attaching the ears, making the wig perfect, possibly contacts. Some people like to make their own things, which is what this person and his people did. Just that alone impresses me a lot. All that time and effort for something that looks simple.

If they MADE the sword and shield, that's pretty neat. If the clothes they're using are hand-sown, that's pretty neat too.

But otherwise, you throw on a big green shirt over a long-sleeved white shirt and white pants, put a leather belt over your belly, buy a leather belt with pouches and sling it over a shoulder, put a thin green hoodie's hood over your head, thin leather boots over your feet, bam. Styling the hair can't take too long if your hair is long enough, putting the ears shouldn't take more than a few minutes unless you're retarded. A few hours spent driving, fifteen minutes spent putting the costume and all it's pieces on, and not much more than $55 spent (not counting the shield and sword, and chances are they won't let you in with the sword anyway).

I'll give credit where it's due, though: it's hard to put Photoshop's contrast filter over you in real life.

Yeah that entire cosplay is handmade, so I respect it a lot.
But I can understand what you mean by the other stuff. To be honest though, I'd much rather make my costume as perfect as I can, rather than use cheap shit. I like to make my stuff look nice, not tacky. With my Xion cosplay, yeah I made the Keyblade and put a shit ton of work into making it perfect so it would stand out. As for everything else, I did NOT want to downgrade my lovely key with a shitty cosplay. You have, no idea how expensive my outifit was...

It was about $160-$200 for everything

And majority of it I bought with my own money. I put so much time looking for the right things to wear, the perfect shoes, the right wig. Even though not everything was made by me, I took the time to find things to make it perfect, not just throw something on. It really ticks me off when I see really poorly done cosplays, I understand if people might not always have the money or the means to make it look perfect, but I feel like when you make a shitty cosplay, you're making the character shitty too.

So even if a person does not make everything, it doesn't mean that time can't be put to buy nice things to make it look really nice. They don't even have to be expensive things; a lot of the stuff I found was a lot cheaper than most stuff floating around.

I'm done rambling on about cosplays now. lol...

Comic Con's gonna be fuuuuun.

Like I said, I'd only go as a TF2 Character. More than likely the Soldier.

Not only would I be alone, I'd have to live up to These guys

AND THEN, I've never like comics
so
I'd only be going to...play dress up
