I don't know if there's already a thread for this, but if there is then just close this one.
Cosplaying always fascinated me. I've never gone to a convention and cosplayed, but I hope to soon. I want to know what you would cosplay as, your thoughts on cosplay, etc. I would like to cosplay as Delsin from inFamous: Second Son, Michael De Santa from GTA V, or Link sometime, among others. I find some cosplays to be ridiculously easy, like for example, a Sim. Some people from my school went to an anime con as Sims and all they did was put a motives thing above their head. Other cosplays like Joel from The Last of Us I find to be pretty easy (as long as you look the part) but I think a lot more of cosplaying is acting the part of your character.
I doubt anyone actually cosplays here, I made a thread about it some time ago I think and no one answered so yeah, you're not gonna get a lot of answers here.
I do hope I can go as Phoenix Wright soon, but I'm still not gonna dish out £60 for a blue suit.
I did use to cosplay when I was younger. I went as characters that didn't require any effort (Dan Smith from Killer 7 or L from Death Note). If I was ever gonna cosplay now it'd have to be in a suit or something like Issac Clarkes. Suit cosplays are amazing.

I bet. Some of the people who cosplay as a serious hobby pay hundreds for their costume and props. Crazy, yo.
I cosplayed as The Boogerman once.

I thought that you were dressed up as one of the hunters from the Manhunt series from Rockstar games. I had to look up the character to get who you were dressing up as. This is pretty cool.
I wouldn't call it cosplay, more of costuming, but I was spent all day at an amusement park dressed as Mario just for the heck of it.

I don't know a lot about cosplay but I do know when I see an awesome one. Like so:

That's my absolute favorite cosplay to date because it's my favorite form of one of my favorite characters.

Nice :) That the girl is pretty really helps^^
I dont understand hardcore cosplayers.... It sometimes feels like they want to be someone they are not and it seems kind of weird.
I know one girl that kind of treats cosplay like a religion... she only hangs with cosplay people and... I dont know.
Can someone explain the phenomena to me?
Attention.
You go there and people give you attention, ask for your photo and it makes you feel happy.
You're basically a celebrity if it looks good.
On a related note, found this qtpie as Aika.
