Cosplay question for 2011

By ObitoAvenger. 08/02/11, 02:23 pm

Hey would it be weird if I cosplayed a game character at this event?

I'm only asking cause my sis says that its an Anime and Manga event and that a game cosplay wouldn't look right sweatdrop

Yeah.... random I know

nope, not at all! there were heaps of video game cosplayers there last year, like a lightning from ffxiii, a rikku from ffx-2, people from the sengoku basara fighting game... (:

If you're entering the comp, the specifics are in the rules, but as a general rule of thumb it has to be an existing published character. most entries so far have usually been from anime, manga, or games though, with some from movies. as long as you can show reference photos of the character, and it's not an 'original character' (completely made up), it's generally Ok.

That said - go read the rules if it's for the comp. ;p
If it's just for hall cosplay or casual, you can do pretty much whatever you want. Just keep in mind the safety aspect with any props aswell.
