First Cosplay Help

amaya_JDB · March 09, 2010, 07:42:17 PM

I have never cosplayed before and it actually looks like fun, so I kinda wanna do it too. Problem is is that I have strict rules about my hair so I'm not allowed to dye it or cut it shorter than shoulder length, but I can layer my hair so it appears short but the main length is still long. I can also put it in a clip but I rather avoid that so I won't be paranoid about it >.> Oh, I also don't like wigs, I just don't (no offense to people to do), so please don't mention wigs. Thank you.

The only cosplays I've thought of was:
Kikyo - Inuyasha
Tifa - Advent Children
Rinoa - FFVIII
Lenne - FFX-2 (????)

Here's a pic of me (hair's up in a clip)

Height: 5' 7"
Skin Color: Tan & Yellow (if that makes any sense)
Hair: Black-Dark Brown
Eyes: Chinese-like

Any questions just ask.

I wasn't able to see your pic (link wouldn't open), but I'll help you as much as I can.To be honest,you'll
be pretty limited to what you can cosplay if you don't either 1)wear a wig(sorry I had to metion it) or 2)change your own hair.If your not against hair extentions, you could pick a character that has really long hair, like Kikyo.

Yeah, that's what I thought. That's why I've been picking character with long black hair (shorter than mid-back to longer). I just went blank though so I can't think of anyone else besides those three characters.
I was also thinking Lenne from FF X-2, but I have to get my hair slightly lighter.
