Character designs so bad they can't be cosplayed

[Anonymous No.9988817]

What are some character designs that are too ugly to be successfully cosplayed?

I may be in the minority but I think bnha cosplays are fucking ugly as hell with the exception of some of the main characters' hero costumes. The school uniform is among the ugliest as far as school uniforms go, and some of the side characters have designs that are so bad that they inspire crimes against nature as seen in pic related.

Thoughts?

[Anonymous No.9988825]

Agreed. Bnha character designs are one of the ugliest things to grace the cosplay scene at the moment.

[Anonymous No.9988832]

Personally I don't think the character's design is ugly. But I do think there are certain designs that just can't translate to real life (and that is one of them).

Here's the problem:
Capeshit is ugly already 80% of the time. Combining that style with the battle shounen aesthetic is a travesty. I really dislike that bhna is likely to be the current cosplay trend that will refuse to die. The only other big trend right now seems to be Voltron, and while the fans are typically insufferable fujos, at least the art style isn't pants on head retarded.

Voltron is funny to me, it's like a reverse brony MLP situation. It was absolutely wild watching the fanbase change from toy-collecting nostalgic men in their late 20s-early 30s to teenage yaoi shippers and watching it all in real time.

BNHA's inability to translate well into IRL cosplay reminds me of Naruto cosplay. The majority of Naruto cosplays I see just always look frumpy no matter what and a lot of BNHA has that same frumpy, awkward quality to it.

narutos outfits look like shit even in the anime.

he has a really baggy jumpsuit and a hank hill ass, he literally looks like bobby in pajamas. only the jounin flak jackets and i guess obito and madaraa battle armor look good, if the wearer is fit.

Speaking of BNHA costumes, I think Midorya's hero outfit is hideous and probably worse than Naruto's. I have yet to see anyone who didn't look like complete ass in it.
The school uniforms aren't that bad imo

BNHA badass designs that aren’t straight capeshit like Endeavor and Mirio and can translate well to real life:
Inasa
Snipe
Shiggy’s smoke dude bartender guy
Mandalay
Kirishima
Mina (unironically)
Tokoyami (if flawless)
Present Mic

Good tier:
The tophat villain
Aizawa (sexy and easy if you’re an actual thin man and not a fujo)
Shiggy

Suneater? might look stupid irl, I’ve never seen

midoriyas outfit actually would look fine if people used the proper materials instead of skin tight super thin shitty mass produced capeshit spandex that shows your tiny dick off.

It should ideally be thick material kind of like the fallout ones, and if someone relatively fit wears it then itll look quite fine.

BNHA is going for a noticably different thing/audience than T&B -- i don't like the show either, but if someone is looking for action and more shounen-y stuff rather than the older characters and overall more adult feeling (but still fun) story of Tiger and Bunny then it's not like they're direct alternatives to one another. Or put another way, most of the peopel watching it are probably young teens themselves.

(When adults are really into it though i gotta be honest my internal reaction is "why don't you just watch tiger and bunny instead, it's the same thing but better and for adults")

IMO, having a design that it's hard to translate is more annoying than having something straight up ugly. BNHA designs might not be the most visually competent ones, but they're all distinctive and make sense as far as actual costumes go, and the manga visuals are carried mainly by the art.
SU is worse, cosplay wise. At this point most characters have at least one person doing a good job of translating them into reality, but for the most part the designs are so stylized and dependent on body characteristics and medium to look good IRL. I still think the designs are good, though.

>>9994105
Probably just cultural difference; a vigilante justice maker probably doesn't appeal as much as it does in America, so with a bigger trust to the system it makes sense that heroes are either incorporated into it or giving their own.

I think BNHA has some of the coolest character designs I've ever seen in a manga, honestly. They feel almost erratic, they're often so bizarre and out-there. But there's something punk rock about it, and I adore seeing such creativity from a mangaka. He's up there with Q Hayashida and Tsutomu Nihei for me as far as having fresh ideas for character design.

However, I have NEVER seen a good BNHA cosplay in the sense that I go "wow that's stunning and looks just like the character". It absolutely does NOT translate well into cosplay because of how exaggerated most of the characters' proportions are, on top of their just plain weird designs.

You'd have to be a professional sculptor/prop maker to make a good BNHA cosplay in my opinion. Unless you're cosplaying something like the very plain Deku, or maybe a character whose costume is 100% armor so you don't have to worry about your face.

[Anonymous No.10021846]

>>10021825
>He's up there with Q Hayashida
That's what it was reminding me of. Obviously they have wildly different styles, but the way everyone clearly had a lot of thought put into their design puts it up there with Dorohedoro (one of my absolute favourite manga ever) for me. But this just means that their costumes are borderline impossible to look good. Just like you have to be fucking shredded to cosplay from Dorohedoro, you have to be an insane propmaker to make BNHA look good.

[Anonymous No.10021855]

No, they look like the mangaka was trying too hard to make them edgy. A lot of BNHA caracter designs are lame and lackluster compared to other shounen manga and that seems to be one of the main complaints people have with BNHA in general.

BNHA character designs feel like something a child would come up with. Form first then half-assed explanation of function second.

I agree on what the other anon says. However I think you can make the all-white work if you go for a Hollywood translation, as in tone down the cartoonyness (get a shorter top hat and non-thick monocle) and buy a wedding tuxedo. I've not found anyone trying this on eng on jap search results.

Archer from Fate

I have literally never seen a single good one.

The AliExpress ones look terrible since they're not skintight, and he needs a really specific skin tone to make it work. He's tan, not black. You need like some sort of former US marine who served in Iraq or something, or an Okinawan. On top of that, his hair is insanely short and his proportions are wild.

I dunno, man... The fucking Voltron fans are ridiculous. Threatening people who work on the show just because their gay ship wasn't canon.

The characters are close friends and the same sex? THEIR ARE GAY FOR EACH OTHER MUST BE CANON. Same with with Bakugo and Kirishima. Makes my skin crawl.

some BNHA can translate well, But very rarely. I see way too many people (Especially Midoriya and Bakugo) throwing whatever they can together and calling it cosplay... Then the ones who give them a cape (Which is usually a pride flag) and ugh.

Other than not having a bad wig that doesn't have the roots smoothed down, Archer can be done if his form-fitting black shirt is translated to armor or thick leather. It looks cheap as a regular shirt even on fit men because of all those armor-esque lines that are not contouring their personal muscles. I think this guy is the closest to being satisfactory. Black boys can be him if they want, it's not like they have very many brown anime character options.

[Anonymous No.10044165]

>>10044124
It's funny you mention the armor part, because I remember in one of the progress threads way back someone worked on an Archer costume and someone said the exact thing you did.

I personally disagree with the armor part; I think a form-fitting black shirt can work very well and is closer to the original idea. The person you posted fits him very well face wise and skin-tone wise, but I disagree with the shirt and the really, really odd choice of velour for the fabric.

I think the main issue with Archer is that there are a ton of different things that need to "intersect" . The costume itself needs to be skin-tight, and nearly all Archer cosplays I've seen (and I've pored over a ton) buy or make the same "T-shirt" that either doesn't have the right design printed or isn't tight and hangs too loose. The shoulder pauldrons are frequently way too loose (probably the most obvious offender) and nearly always need to be tighter. The wig is a bitch to style and most cosplays don't nail it. And on top of that, you need to be the right shade for it to look good. These things aren't difficult to nail (nearly all of them related to costume/wig), but I haven't seen a single person actually have everything done and for it to look truly good.

Black boys CAN be him if they want, so can anyone. I'm just saying I haven't seen a single one that nailed the distinct "tanned japanese/white young male" look he has.

[Anonymous No.10044188]

>>10044165
I personally always saw it as armor but the rest of what you're saying is very true. I don't think I've ever seen one in person that wasn't pretty obviously from China (although this is the case with a majority of Fate cosplays these days). The fabric is always way too flimsy on the mantle so it doesn't hold the shape/drape properly and way too many use vinyl in places that are clearly metal plates. Not to mention almost all use the same crappy wig with a crappy hairline.
I'd be thrilled to see someone do it right no matter what skintone they are just because it's so rare to see.

[Anonymous No.10044424]

>>10043846
For me it isn't really the outfits or the hairstyles that make me feel like it's nearly impossible to do a proper cosplay. It's the fact that they're gems and you have to add something sparkly/shiny/etc. to it, because otherwise it'll just look plain. And honestly, besides from some pro's, the cosplays are ugly as hell. It's either a plain cosplay without the HnK aesthetic or a kid that glued too many gems or foil into their wigs and just put a ton of glitter unto their face. You'll never really be able to bring that subtle gemlike glow into your entire cosplay.

Agreed this is a way better interpretation, it's too bad he didn't get a lace front for this. I just bought several from Arda on sale after debating if it was worth investing in that vs a wig that's trained back. Seeing this makes me glad I did... Shirt looks solid AF.

[Anonymous No.10044794]

>>10044754
Definitely, lacefronts are more expensive but the difference in looks makes it really worth it for me unless the hairline is completely covered by the style. If I'm putting over 50 hours into a costume I'm not skimping on the extra $30 to get it to look like my vision.

Anon, why are you here? No one is a bug eyed loli, mutant, demon, etc, no one can bring that stuff out properly to cosplay because it isn't real. People try recreate those type of fantastical characters for fun and to show you're a fan or you like the design.

What you're saying regarding HnK cosplays is that they're cheap for not carving real gems or glass to a wig shape. That's the only alternative and I don't think the nigh impossibility of that should stop people from dressing as their favorite gembutt. The topic of the thread is character designs that are bad and therefore look worse in 3D, and imo the gems have quite good designs themselves.

They honestly just look like regular white skin in illustrations and animation, you only see they're rocks when they break and peel.

Going back to the wig thing, would it actually be possible to print translucent huge PVC hair? They could attach to each other like figure hair does, by bangs and back hair being separate pieces that can be placed on someone's head then pushed in together.

I think even in animation when they’re not broken they don’t read as flesh. This is autistic but any light shining across skin will bring out the saturated redness below. As an extreme example think of when you put a flashlight under your finger. a rock would be one solid color all the way through...same applies with regular lighting but much more subtly obviously. Just saying that aspect of the character design is literally impossible to recreate in cosplay.

3D printing something clear at this scale is going to be really difficult, I've done a ton of research on creating transparent wigs and the only viable options in my opinion are worbla transp'art (rigid) and sheet PVC (like those clear tablecloths you can find in some places). Printing transparent pieces on an FDM printer will always leave layer lines, and SLA printers big enough for those pigtails all cost tens of thousands of dollars, not including the resin to print with.

I think that most of the character designs in Danganropa are amazing, but some of them, while looking great in 2D, look terrible in cosplay. I don't know what it is about them, but I've never seen a REALLY good cosplay of Gundham, Ibuki, Kokochi, Keebo, Mondo, Ishimaru, Kaito, Fuyuhiko, or Sakura

[Anonymous No.10047923]

>Body/face type problems
Gotta have the correct baby faced manletness for Kokichi and Fuyuhiko. Don't even get started on Sakura...

>Wig styling
Gundham, Mondo, Kaito, and probably Sakura again.

Kibo would need some good prop-work to sell the robot appearance. Ishimaru has big ass eyebrows that could fuck things up but other than that and normal cosplay problems I'm not sure what could impede a great cosplay of him.

[Anonymous No.10047987]

>>10047923
True about needing that specific baby face for Fuyuhiko and Kokichi. But desu, I've seen baby-faced Kokichis before and there's still just something weird about that design that doesn't translate well into real life, with the wig, and the weird outfit.

Agree again about the tough wig styling though.
Idk about Ishimaru, since yeah there's not a lot impeding it from being great, but I've never seen anyone do him well.
Keebo too, but that I think is in his proportions/body shape. I've seen both guys and girls cosplay him, and there's always something off about the body, even if the armour construction is good (guess that comes with the character literally being a robot?)
