How To Decide Which Character To Cosplay As?
I have noticed that there are so many people ask for cosplay ideas every day in Reddit, Forums and the other social platform. To be honest, I have never met that situation, cause I always have my way to find the most suitable character to cosplay as.
Today I am going to share some tips for you about which character to cosplay as, wish it helps and you will no longer meet one of the hardest things of cosplay later.
1. Make cosplay choice between some ideas
If you have some favorite characters when I watch TV, movie, anime, or game, just pick up the one whose cosplay you are able to handle - you can make the props by yourself or you can find the cosplay props online( sometimes you may not be able to find the right cosplay props online because the character is not so famous).
For example, If you have to make a choice between Wonder Woman and Jinx from League of Legends, I suggest you cosplay as Wonder Woman because you can easily find Wonder Women Cosplay staff online. And on the other hand, if you want to make Gal Gadot costume, cosplay armor, cosplay skirt, there are so many tutorials out there - Youtube, Cosplaytutorials, DeviantArt and some good blogs like this one.
2. Looking for amazing and creative cosplay idea
If you even don’t have any cosplay ideas in your heart, you’d better find some creative ideas from some great place.
The frequent way I used for my cosplay ideas is Facebook, I liked a lot of interesting pages and they will show amazing cosplay every day, all I need to do is browse their photo album and find the cosplay I love at first sight.
3. Browsing some online stores and find the costume you prefer
This is the most effective way for you to choose both cosplay ideas and cosplay costume. There are so many online stores and you can compare the price and quality in the process of looking for cosplay idea, so why not enjoy doing it.
I sometimes get my cosplay ideas by browsing xcoos.com, they provide a large number of cosplay costumes and you can always find the whole series of a movie or game. And they also provide custom made service and you can ask to tailor made your costume according to your physical information to fit you best.
4. The common-used way - Google
There are a lot of blog post which lists the top 20/30/40/100 cosplay ideas out there, you can find them by entering the keyword like”top cosplay ideas””best cosplay ideas for a fat guy””cosplay ideas for baby” or ”Star Wars cosplay ideas”. Google will answer your question quickly.
5. Social Platform like Reddit, Quora, Forums
Or if you still can’t find who you should cosplay, you can ask for help in those social platforms by putting your pictures in the group “cosplay”.There will be a few people who can give you some good ideas as well.
