Kags' Cosplay Thread

she likes the attention? She realized she is not just a great person but a 10/10 on the "ZOMG HOTNESS I WANT TO BANG YOU" scale? She wants to show off her hard cosplay production work with her good friends and have visual evidence of her work, so ten years from now when she is the cosplay world champion she can look back and tell us how much of a noob she was?

The world may never know....

(I should probably add the hotness scale is a joke from metal gear awesome, I'm not legit trying to be misogynistic, just making a joke)

Thanks Bones!! :heart:



I love them and hate them so much! :D I'm glad you approve.



If you're asking if I will be showing high school pictures of myself, tough luck. I have one picture from me in high school. One. (Minus the few from Marching Band) I was such an insane wallflower I would, for real, run away if a camera was anywhere near me.[DOUBLEPOST=1395022848,1395022526][/DOUBLEPOST]And one more for tonight:

Kags, I think you're my inverse. Most of my cosplay/costume photos are from high school. I think I lost all sense of shame sometime around junior high. I don't have much recently because I don't have the time or money to work on them, as much as I miss it. I leave it to you and Heatherling because you guys are light years ahead of me now in terms of skill and quality. :thumbsup:

But I do have a huge box of Color Guard photos. Band Geeks are forever, right?:D

So what caused the change? (Just curious.)

STORY TIME!:
What actually caused the change is that after high school I went to college and everyone abandoned me. Everyone in my life left me, my friends disappeared, did their own thing, my roomates were the worst - they treated me like dirt. I wanted to make it on my own so I bothered my family very little with my problems. And it was perfect, because that was the 'make it or break it' moment for me in terms of accepting myself. I HATED me in high school, absolutely hated everything about me and had countless body issues, social anxiety and depression. Then I went to college and had this weird 'A-ha!' moment. I was making the 5 hour drive home one weekend, crying my eyes out and it hit me. I didn't have to listen to what others thought about me, I didn't have to believe all of the hateful things that people said. Including myself, there was no reason for me to put myself down because I was the only person I could rely on. It was weird and sudden and fantastic; I've had confidence in myself ever since. And because of that confidence I decided to give cosplay another try (after failing miserably during high school.)

I think I'm the least likely cosplayer every because I actually don't really like the attention all that much. I want people to comment on my costume, my hard work and talk to me about that. I get worried that I'll get to used to people stroking my ego when it comes to attractiveness and that's something that should never ever be taken for granted.

@Celt Z Band Geeks FOREVER!! I still have all of my rifles, get them out from time to time. :heart:

That is such a healthy perspective. Thumbs up.

well I like your "casual" dress-up cosplay as much as the actual character cosplay. It's fun being able to talk on a somewhat personal level with a skilled cosplayer. I like learning about how you put stuff together if only because im one of those people who likes shows like "how they do it" and "How its made". I love that so many people on here were band geeks, many of my friends were, I was not, but I definitely associate with all the "non-standard" cliche groups.

I like how you guys have the model "looks" down pat, Your photographer really did a good job with the framing, lighting, and such. Your friend Raye, has the Tsundere look going. I always fear that secretly you are a Yandere, given the look on your face.
I hope there is some photos of Raye smiling, she has a really pretty smile, I know she favors a neutral look.

did I miss anything? sound like a dork? I have the day off and am full of coffees, so apologies if I have said something dumb!

in addition on seeing the story, I am sorry you went through all that and I am glad that everything is coming up roses now!

I don't think you missed anything? As for Raye smiling, I don't think so, she HATES her smile so much. And as Tsundere as she looks, she's much more Dandere. And I'm offended you think I'm anything like a Yandere!

Why do you think you missed something?

oops I screwed that up, you are completely right, total dandere look, I completely missed it. as for the Yandere, you know what they say, its the nice ones you got to watch out for! :3

I just wanted to make sure I didnt like forget words or something, I drank way to much coffee and now my mind is racing a million miles a minute.

Haha, no, you didn't not forget words. =^^=

I guess you do have a point, when I get angry, you best watch yourself! It is really difficult to make me truly angry though, I mean I get annoyed at stuff, but actually angry? Not so much. I think my friends have only seen my angry maybe 4 times in the years I've known them? (One was actually recent - At a party a drunk guy wouldn't let go of my best friend and I let him have it. Bad. I was ready to chew him to pieces.)

PHOTOS!!






























Since people have requested it before, I've caved and posted larger sized pictures, how do you guys feel? I just worry this thread is going to because a big mess because my pictures are so big.

The pictures look great. I mean, this is a thread about pictures, so... you know... they're expected.

Also, I think that shot of the two of you on the bench is the best one. The color, lighting, and symmetrical pose all make it.

Also, sorry I did not upload progress pic's yet - I had a busy weekend.

But I'll have those to you guys soon. =^^= Which, I realize I say I'll do a lot of things or post a lot of things and I rarely do, if anyone wonders why, it's because I am so shy that I have a moment of 'Oh, I'll be brave and post stuff and make friends!" And then I sit with it ready to post, but delete it. For real, that's me 80% of the time, so if there's anything I said I would post but have not, I apologize.[DOUBLEPOST=1395103786,1395103750][/DOUBLEPOST]

So, I'd love some suggestions from you guys!

While my cos-sister was up, we talked a lot about League of Legends and her and I would love to do some League cosplays together. Since I don't play League (yet) who would you like to see me as?

Is there any character you think I could pull off well?? I'd love to her your ideas! TELL ME!! :D

Some of the costumes in LoL are pretty complex, so someone like Leona would require lots of crafting makeshift armor, which sounds like a major hassle.

That said... I think Mafia Miss Fortune would be right up your alley.

After Kratos this year, I think I'll have an okay handle on armor (because the back of his armor is just GAH!!), so I'm not opposed to complex designs.


She looks bad-ass!! I'm on board. :D

That reminds me of how I'd almost convinced the little woman we should do a couple's costume one year for Halloween... she would go as Annie and I'd mod the hell out of a bear costume and go as Tibbers. Something to this effect -



Never got around to it.

Ever thought of going crazy off type? Fem!Ezreal or fem!Ziggs could be amazing![DOUBLEPOST=1395201094,1395201027][/DOUBLEPOST]I'd vote for Leona though, if you wanna do a straight-up female character. Her or Irelia would be interesting choices.

The thought of femZiggs did cross my mind because that's kind of really my thing, but there are so many females to chose from with LOL, I'd like to take advantage of that. It's kind of a rare opportunity, which I like. I feel bad, but...I don't like any of Ireila's outfits. :(


I've gone through every female character and picked out quite a few that I would like. How about I show you guys my top 6. :)
Snowstorm Sivir (this one is at the top because it would match my friends' Sejuani costume - more winter-y)

My daughter is determined to be Annie this year, I'm still on the fence about who to be with her. I was thinking Vi initially, but now I am leaning more towards Miss Fortune.
