Been a little while, let's get one of these up again.

You know the deal, post yourself, cosplay you'd like to do/have done in the past, give some context, and help others with suggestions.

And as always, give suggestions in order to recieve them (unless you're the first poster)!

Apologies, I threw this together on the fly and my shitty editing app cant place text worth a damn.
>Notes
Affordability is pretty open, I could spend maybe 500 absolute max on a costume, and it would have to be pretty spectacular.
I'm fairly novice at sewing and crafting but I'm developing my skills slowly, so some opportunities to exercise that would be great, I love making big props.
>preferences
I like characters with fun personalities that I can really get into. Usually more of a sporty/alt type.
Willing to cosplay boys but my hips dont really allow it to be done well.
I'm also dropping more weight slowly but surely. Goal is 125lbs.
>>10324682
You could probably pull off bottom right pretty well. Also Akira from Devilman

Had uploaded to one of these before and enjoyed cosplaying some of the suggestions, so why not try it again.
Sorry if the pic is unreadable.
Since the measurements/general info is hard to see i'll put it here: Female, 1.53 m (5'), 48 kg (105), 87 cm, 58 cm and 94 cm.
I'm also open to cosplay men but alas, haven't found one that i wouldn't look like a mess in.
>>10324682
Astolfo would definitely suit you, i'd also go for Josuke Higashikata, maybe Filia from Skullgirls and Ruka Urushibara.
>>10324773
You'd make a really cute Luna, Jill Valentine also comes to mind, Chell from Portal and if you're willing to spend a bit more then Hildegard von Krone would also look really good.
>>10325131
You'd look very good as Yuri and i can't help to suggest Nene because she's best girl, Alyx Vance would also look good, Tsunemori Akane would suit you and if you're comfortable with showing a bit of skin (or a lot desu) Mai Shiranui or Chel from The road to El Dorado.

Why not? It organizes information easily for a person to look at and suggest something for you. It's not like you won't get suggestions, it's just easier to give them. Do as you will.

Also, lay down some ideas (and preferences or comments if you have any) so that we can give you suggestions that suit your taste. What anime do you watch? Other media like video games, webcomics, cartoons, etc. are fine too.

One thing I forgot to put in notes is that I've done Hitomi before, but I did her steampunk outfit. Also included May because she's probably my favorite video game character ever even if I definitely do not have her body type (and the reason why I've put off doing her).

First time I've properly made one of these.
Yes I'm a gijinkafag, don't judge me. I just recently got the disposable income to cosplay and have been wanting to do a gijinka Kirby for ages. Don't know if I'm cute enough though.
But yeah, I'm pretty small. So shotas and teen protags are my forte.
>>10324773
If you like helluva boss, I think you could pull off a Charlie from Hazbin pretty well!

LOL yeah do backwards cap-kun

you heard of Kengan Asura? You could do a Muteba cosplay on the cheap, you'd just have to get contact lenses, a bald cap, tattoos and a speedo

I think you could do a very good Narancia you could try Jonny from steel ball too if you like that part

>>10324773
Loona would be awesome so I support that 100%. how about trying Charlotte from hazbin after?

>>10325131
Yuri would be a good choice for sure. it's not super complex and you can get a good group of Doki Doki cosplayers together for a shoot

>>10325235
the doll would be amazing! but I'm a sucker for Bloodborne cosplay and Re-L would also be a fantastic choice!

>>10324682
Narancia is most certainly a good choice, also seconding Akira from "Devilman". I would also like to throw out the idea of Roy Mustang from "FMA" and perhaps Antarcticite from "Land of the Lustrous".

>>10324773
I'm also gonna agree with the Akko from "Little Witch Academia" suggestion. I'm not entirely sure I know what counts as sporty, but Image Comics' character Velocity is certainly boatloads of fun. I'd also like to toss out the idea of Kyoko Sakura from "Madoka Magica" as I'm pretty sure that would be relatively affordable, plus would be able to make her bigass spear!

>>10325131
Gonna suggest Ajna from Indivisible. It's been a relatively popular game so I'd imagine there's at least one person selling her costume, but even if there isn't, her outfit isn't super complex so it shouldn't be too difficult to make.

>>10325235
Bloodborne is one of my favorite vidya games, so I'm always gonna suggest Bloodborne cosplay. If you're looking for something on the simpler side; Mama Isabella from "Promised Neverland" seems like she might be up your alley, especially if you can get her creepy ass dead stare down. This next one might be a bit obscure, but check out Lady Mechanika. Might be a bit complex with some of it's steampunk parts, but all in all I think it should still be less that $1,000 to put together if you're into it.

>>10326530
You pull off blond women really well, so I'm gonna have to INSIST that you consider cosplaying DC's Power Girl.

>>10326692
Hell man, really lay into the whole being short thing, maybe look into cosplaying some traps? Perhaps Nagisa Shiota from "Assassination Clasroom. But I would also say definitely do Deku, you got that one in the bag.

May I just take a moment to say how much I appreciate that you don't arbitrarily limit yourself to black characters! So many of my friends always say "I can't cosplay this character I really like because I'm not X ethnicity" but at the end of the day, we're all just at the con/cosplaying to have a good time. Cosplay whatever the hell ya want! You are my fucking hero right now anon!
If you want something that would probably be a long term project, Geras from "Mortal Kombat 11" would be neat and offers some creativity on your part with the different costumes and sand weapons in the game.

>>10330850
All of the ideas you've got there are pretty perfect for you. Seems like you could pull off a lot of gruff characters, so I'm gonna put out the ideas of Trevor Belmont from "Castlevania" and Pip Bernadotte from "Hellsing: Ultimate".

>>10332445
God dammit you are everything I aspire to be!
You're pretty tall and you rock the blonde hair, so I'm gonna say Char Aznable/Quattro Bajeena/Full Frontal from ANY of his incarnations of the Universal Century Gundam series'. I'm about to get into the weeds here with this next suggestion, but, Himuro Genma from the "Ninja Scroll" movie. I think you'd have fun cosplaying as what is essentially a huge 80's action movie villain.

My wife (pictured) and I go to a bunch of Halloween events in New Orleans every year. Parades, pre-parade luncheons, after-parties, VIP rooms, etc. We get a hotel room with a balcony in a busy area, during the day and night we shadow walking tours to make things interesting for the people, we bar hop in the French Quarter, etc. It’s a big weekend of hardcore Halloween.

We choose a time period in history, build a costume and wear it out in the French Quarter. We always alter my wife’s costume to be on the racy (very racy...) side of things. She has long legs and big breasts, so we try to accentuate those things with heels and short skirts and low cut tops, etc. For example, last year we did a Victorian theme, the year before we did the Roaring 20’s.

So here is the dilemma for this year: We are having the cosplay version of writer’s block.

I posted her pic so you could roughly see how she is built.

Do y’all have any ideas? The ones we keep thinking of can get kind of corny, overdone, cheap or cliché. Like cowboy and Indian, Greek themed togas, 60’s hippies, etc.

Any help is appreciated. Now I’ll go scan this thread and make suggestions, thanks.

You guys could probably do a version of the incroyables and merveilleuses, they were a bunch of people that, after the french revolution and fed up with the gloomy atmosphere, decided to dress up in exaggerated, over the top and ridiculous fashions as a way of protest, it was basically 1790's french fashion but taken to the extreme, it could also get pretty raunchy so i think that'd fit. (Pic related)
Going into the cosplay side, Viola or Aurelia (could modify Aurelia's to show more leg) from Soul Calibur, Phoebe from Battleborn would look nice on her and Nyotengu would look good too.

Sorry if this request is a bit weird.
I am planning on bringing my accordion to my next con and playing some weeb music for the other congoers. I was hoping to make a cosplay to wear while I'm doing this, but I'm having trouble thinking of ideas.
I don't think I have the skill to make a decent looking Kass, I doubt people would recognize the Soleanna accordion guy, I'm not sure if replacing the music box with a squeezebox makes sense, and Weird Al seems like a cop-out answer.
Also, if a character doesn't play the instrument but has some association with accordion music somehow, I'd be cool with that too. I'm not too picky about this.

>playing some weeb music for the other congoers.
I love watching videos where people do that. I'm sure you'll make plenty of people smile.
You could modify Kass's design to be more casual. For example, make his clothing and headwear, then add long feather-like sleeves to mimic the real design. Don't bother with facepaint. You could even make his face into a decorative mask that you wear slightly off your face. It's a thought. Otherwise, Music box guy seems fun
