I know there's a thread for "pipe dream cosplays" but what about cosplays you hope to one day make once you reach the skill level?

Pic related. I normally cosplay fabric heavy characters, armour seems tough to break into...

It doesn't seem hard to make its just the fact I need a real good toned body to be her and I'm nowhere close to that ;___:

I have the skills but not the cash or the time to handsew so many sequins...

I think I have the skills, as it's not technically very difficult, but the thought of all that embroidery is not a happy one.

Same here except with Birdy. There's also the whole custom latex suit being hella expensive problem.

Some of them aren't too terribly difficult but I'm shit at sewing or they'd be outa of my current price range.

High five for Birdy.

Yuna from FFX

I used to take sewing lessons but I haven't done anything with those skills aside from fixing small things here and there for the past decade. After being chubby all my life, I'm now getting fit and lean. Despite this, I've been getting more and more inspired by cosplayers I see online, so I want to create a really nice handmade and accurate cosplay.

My biggest issue is with the pattern on the skirt and obi. My embroidery skills are nonexistent so I may have to buy those online (and the staff), and I'm kind of sad about that. Technically, I COULD do it, but it would take a very, very long time to achieve it.

Pretty much the same for me here. I just finished my first armored cosplay, but I'm hoping to start working on Barnaby soon so that I can have him done for next year's Acen

>tfw you will never be your husbando
this sweet boy, mostly because my sewing skills are subpar and I have no fucking clue how to alter patterns or sew with suede, do appliqué, do embroidery well, have enough money for supplies, etc etc etc

RX-78NT-1 from War in the Pocket.

Not the most popular/complex looking gundam but I liked 0080 and the design of it. I wanted to get started earlier this year but school got in the way.

Beatriceee from Umineko

Wanted to do this ever since I first saw it, just two problems: Lacking skill, which is being worked on. Being a guy, which will probably make it look like shit. Still gonna do it this year though.

I'm currently making time to relearn blender so I can part this out and then unfold (hi from /po/).
Yanme'e from the Halo series of games.

These 4 are ones I've wanted to do since I very first saw them, so one day I hope to have all of them completed. Two left are a matter of losing some weight and toning up (skinnyfat sadness), and right two are just a matter of funds as I'm saving for other life plans at the moment.
Ultimate dream is to perform Ikenai Borderline or Hametsu no Junjou in the top left outfit...one day!

Every animalistic anthropomorphic character with really high and sleek digigrade legs... I wish I had those awesome demon legs, avian legs or whatever other type.
I know there's alternatives, like high platform heels with no heels, but it doesnt look the same

>> No.9443925

>>9443170
The platform heels method usually does look kinda unimpressive, but there's also stilts.

Those are more involved.

She made Draenei legs by extending heels and it turned out really well imo.

Thank you, other Anon. Same to you.

Both techniques I saw before when looking for methods, and the first is a little too mechanical skill required but definitely a todo for the future

Same, I love her and that dress so much.
I have her casual outfit on my to-do list, so that's a start. Good luck, anon!
