Title: Help! >_<
Post by: yamaneko on December 07, 2007, 05:01:51 PM
Does anyone know any good cosplays for a girl with brown hair a little longer than shoulder-length?? I've tried to think, but I can't decide who to dress up as! >.<

The list of cosplays for girls with medium-length brown hair are endless, especially since your hair will grow by the time Fanime rolls around (and if you're willing to, you could always cut it). You should probably start with a list of anime/manga/video games that are appealing to you, and then from there, choose characters you can relate to, because that's what I think really makes the best cosplay :]

But don't take my word for it. Ask your friends if they're interested in cosplay, and maybe you guys could do a group cosplay. Those are always exciting.

Oooh, okay, thanks! ^^ And, of course, I could always go with a wig, but my parents kinda don't want to spend money they don't have to spend ^^;

Well, the thing is, I just got my hair cut so it's super short now, but it'll grow to "a little longer than shoulder-length" by the time Fanime comes around.

Or you could try dying your hair.  ??? 

I know lots of people prefer exact cosplay, but you don't have to match the hair length exactly.  Plus your idea of crossplaying (portraying a male character) is okay, too.  Depending on your hair length and the way you style it, there are probably a few male characters with shortish brown hair you could do.

Plus with the different eye colors, unless you get contacts, you might not be able to match the eye color anyway, so you could do Yuki Cross, or even a random student from the school, either Day or Night class.

Lol, maybe! xD Still deciding, but here's my "possible" list for now. . .

1. Allen Walker -D.Gray-Man
2. Yuuki Cross - Vampire Knight
3. Ao Kudo - Psychic Power Nanaki (except I have no idea how I'm going to get a costume Dx )
4. Kagura - Gintama

Title: Re: Help! >_<
Post by: yamaneko on December 11, 2007, 09:45:47 PM
Hmm, but Kagura's looks a bit plain, and I have no idea what she's really supposed to look like o.o I don't think there will be that many Allen Walkers. . .

I hope to cosplay with a group, though! >_<

Post by: yamaneko on December 12, 2007, 03:23:30 PM
When I asked some of my friends about who I should cosplay as, I got this:

Allen Walker - D.Gray-Man: 4
Kagura - Gintama: 1
Yuuki Cross - Vampire Knight: 0
Ao Kudo - Psychic Power Nanaki: 1

And then someone suggested I do Marluxia from Kingdom Hearts o_O Except I'm way too short =_= But she said she didn't care, and voted for it anyways. . .

Marluxia - Kingdom Hearts: 1

Seeing the name reminded me, if you're familiar with Fruits Basket, you could go as Kagura Sohma.  Her brown hair is a bit longer than shoulder length but that shouldn't matter so much.

You could do Lavi from D.Gray-Man instead of Allen Walker.  His hair looks reddish, but depends on how dark brown your hair is, or you could add a bit of hair coloring.

Title: Re: Help! >_<
Post by: yamaneko on December 12, 2007, 10:48:27 PM
Eh, I think I'd pass on that Kagura ^^; She looks too. . . normal. xDD; As for Lavi, his hair is REALLY red O.O Mine is more of a dark brown, kinda like. . . *thinks of how to describe it*. . . *gives up* But, yeah, I was considering doing Lavi (or Kanda, even) then learned that there were no wigs for either one (because there's no way I can style my hair just like theirs by myself @.@). So I thought I'd do Allen since there's actually a wig for him ^^;

I would just cosplay a character that you like to show. With that description, it is, indeed, endless.
Title: Re: Help! >_<
Post by: yamaneko on December 14, 2007, 05:43:23 PM
Yeah, it is ^^; My friends are kinda making me do Allen Walker, though, so I'm saving up for the costume and wig. (Hell, one of my friends already called dibs on doing the eye and arm make-up. o_o)
