Hi! I am going to be cosplaying Neo at Geek.Kon this year and am having trouble finding a wig. Do you have any recommendations?

You could order this one and message the seller and tell them you don’t want the ponytail clips. There are a few people out there who cosplay Neo who also make their own wigs, and I’m sure if you searched in the rwby cosplay tag on tumblr or if you made a post in the tag, I’m sure you’d be able to find someone. Good luck!

Where could I find a costume for Lie Ren? (Weapons included)

I would 100% recommend finding someone to commission your cosplay! My personal recommendation would be for my good friend Shelby, her work is top notch and always on time! If you were looking for something easier, I guess I would say check out ebay (taobao if you’re comfortable with that as well) but always check the seller’s reviews before you buy! Good luck!

Hi. I'm really really sad. Monty inspired me to do so much. He was so kind. Idk, I just needed. To tell someone. :,(

Hi anon. 

We're all upset right now and I want to tell you that all your feelings are valid. Its okay to cry, and its okay not to cry. Your mourning process is all your own. Just don't let his passing be the end of his inspiration to you. Monty's work is still all around us. Don't stop doing what you're doing anon, you know he'd get upset if you did that.

Neo's Parasol/Umbrella

Hi, 

I was wondering if you knew of a place I could get Neo’s parasol from, or commissioned? Or if there was a tutorial somewhere? 

Thank you so much!

Yep! I've cosplayed Neo myself, and though my parasol has yet to be dyed to the correct colors, this is the one that I bought and I'm highly satisfied with it!

im looking for contracts for weiss and just cant find any that are light enough that come in 0.00. any tips or contacts?

Check out Pinky Paradise, they're one of my favorite lens stores and have really great customer support! 

If you haven't used contacts ever before, I'd suggest educating yourself a bit! I promise they're not as scary as the internet can paint them. If you ever need tips, feel free to send me another message!

Tips on Neo's jacket - either how to make it or if I can buy it anywhere?

When making my own I looked a lot at Sheena's cosplay progress, which can be found here! Otherwise, I made my own pattern myself. I'm sure you could find a pattern online, though!

any advice on pyrrha's wig? i went through arda wigs because they have wigs made with ponytails, but the ponytail wigs are too short or thin for her hair, and im kind of wary of buying a wig and clip since im a fool for accuracy

Try Epic Cosplay; they have a lot of wig styles. Also, you can always buy a longer wig and pull it into a ponytail yourself, and here's a tutorial on that!

hello, I was wondering if you know of place where i could buy Neo shoes or if there was a tutorial somewhere? Thank you

These are the ones I bought! They're a little tight though, so order up a size!

Hi there! I was wondering if you had anything for making Neptune's thigh pads? I was considering using cricket thigh pads but I dont feel that they would be accurate enough. Thanks!

Honestly, I would use craft foam and either give it a resin coat (after you fit it to your body, of course) or use worbla if you can afford it!

Hi- I'm trying to make a Sun Wukong tail and I have no idea how to do it. Do you have any suggestions?

I would suggest aside from the fabric choice you have is probably some thick wire and stuffing! Here's a tutorial I found too, if you need it!

[rwbycosplayhelp]

Hi, do you have any tutorials about bunny ears for Velvet? I wasn't sure if it was worth making them or if it would be better to just buy some. Thanks.

A headband and some thick wire and some fabric should do wonders for that!! Here’s a tutorial from deviantart that should give you more step by step help.

I want to do the Ruby scythe more professionally, but easily, and what do you suggest I make it out of? Cardboard is too flimsy so do you have any suggestions?

Craft foam with a coat of resin for all the outer parts but the main build being made out of foam board! It makes it very light weight and it looks very well when done right!

[rwbycosplayhelp]

holy shit i had no idea there were so many messages on this blog i am so sorry guys i'll get to answering them

[rwbycosplayhelp]

[rwbycosplayhelp]

Could you please help me find a wig for a Neo cosplay? I'm having some trouble. Thanks!

Here’s the one Monty recommended on his twitter, but soulfirephotos also did a Neo cosplay and her wig was commissioned and frankensteined together by another cosplayer (Sorry, I lost the name!! Im sure you could contact her for more info!)
