Hm... wouldn't it have made more sense to just have Sheryl get down on all fours?

Pete

Oh, Pete. You have such the dirty mind! :lol:

all i have of her at the moment.

oooo thanks,very nice! :D

Hm.

After a few minutes of considering it - I'm happy to say - I'll marry her.

Pete

hm,think we can share? :p

Some pics from Anime Expo

I'm sorry, but guys doing Alto just doesn't work! :rolleyes:

Though you kinda need a tomboy to Cosplay Alto as well...

Posted

I dunno, give a guy the right hair, and you could probably do it somehow.. might need a bit of makeup too though.

Given how simple Alto's uniform is, I'm tempted to try it, provided I can find a wig that'll work well.

I don't think I can successfully cosplay anybody from Macross.

The only guy I can coplay is Captain Bright from Mobile Suit Gundam. He looks just like me, so all I'd need is a uniform and hey presto there I am...

Macross would be tough going. I dunno... Maybe I could do Breetai. Actually...yeah -Brettai would pretty much require only a uniform and a mask.

I'm not into whigs.

I could STRETCH Bassara...but I'd really need a lot of hair spray....and I'd have to grow my hair out a bit more than usual...

I'd have to go with a wig for just about anyone who isn't bald... my hair is pretty much gone at age 25. College worked it out of me. :huh:

The one advantage it does give is that I have no qualms about cutting my hair incredibly short, and could use a wig with no complications.

That, or I could do a pretty simple captain Picard costume. :lol:

The DYRL cosplays are very nice. I especially like the Max as he doesn't get cosplayed too often...

I am planning on going as Hikaru Ichijo for IchibanCon in NC. However, I can't find any decent pictures of Hikaru's normal outfit (not the flight suit, the other jacket that all the officers wear.) If anybody has any pics, I would really appreciate it!

Posted

I'm pretty sure someone here has a professionally made one of those jackets, it's probably somewhere in this thread. Try reading back a ways, you might find it. I think there were lots of pics of it.

I think it would be fun if people tried to cosplay the civilian clothes worn by Misa and Hikaru, just like we often see cosplay of civilian clothes (my euphemism for sexy lingerie) of Ranka and Sheryl...

But seriously - I have nothing against the uniforms; but I would love to see Misa cosplayed as she was when she went to see Shao Pai Lon. Minmey had a number of cute outfits.

And Max in his "I'm going on a date to the park - which tie should I wear Chewy?" suit would be great :)

The problem with street cloaths is that too often people mistake them just for that - street cloths. And since cosplay is partially about drawing attention, you tend to get dissatisfied from being ignored. A gathering maybe. I've done a lot of plain cloths cosplay. it works best in groups. I even wore a Tenma costume from Monster in front of his seiyuu, and I doubt he got it. It's a shame too as there's plenty of shows I'd like to do.

VenomMacbeth, if you're talking about TV UN Spacey jackets, drop me a line. I've spent so much time on Max, it's practically a science now. Just know that the collar WILL kick your @$$. The TV series *(Love Drifts Away is a good reference for it's A animation) and Perfect Memory are your best friends too.

Posted

Yeah... but I guess for me, if I cosplayed, it would be with friends, and it would be fun to just go out and do regular stuff while cosplaying :)

Like going to a kung fu movie.

If...there were kung fu movies in the cinemas in Poland...

which there usually aren't...

um...

yeah :(

Personally, I'm amazed that despite the large number of Frontier cosplayers at Fanime, I've never seen any Frontier photo shoots in San Francisco. It's on my to do list, even if it's just me. I've worn the jacket there at least.

Posted

Shoot, $70 for a professional costume? If I looked anything like Grace (and were a girl), I'd probably pick one up myself. :lol: What's really weird about that is that I have a sister named Grace... and even though she has no interest in anime, she might like that outfit for the style alone. She could pull it off too. Even has the glasses. :blink:

As for the price... while it might be a simple outfit to make yourself, it'd probably cost that much or more to do it at home.

Posted

Yeah but she'd need a blue-purple wig, too. And a "hacking into Frontier's computer network" necklace. Still, I was surprised at the price too---seemed cheap compared to most other costumes. Grace's costume is neat in that someone probably could wear it to an office, and not really attract any attention (unless a Frontier fan worked there).

That Sharon is probably the "best" Sharon ever :lol:

M7 of varying quality...

I like the green Basara the best...so realistic..... :p

What's interesting about the Grace costume on ebay, is that it's very functional, and represents fashion of today. A girl could wear that to work, and nobody, not even a Macross F fan would probably realize what the girl is wearing. Also, I'm not totally sure about this, but that maybe the going price for outfits like that. I'd like to see more Grace cosplay too. She's one of the more sultry women of the series, but probbably isn't so popular due to the fact that here costume isn't so over the top.

Just a heads up, but AOD this last weekend was a near blitzkrieg of Frontier cosplay. I saw almost as much Sheryls and Rankas as I did at Fanime's gathering. Even saw a more recent art take on Minmay. I got a few on my phone that I'll probably dump latter.

Lots of Sheryls is a good thing, post some pics!! B))

That's a good sign seeing Ranka and Sheryl cosplayers, despite Macross not being over here. Talk about good marketing.
