Cosplaying dilemma!

[Matsuri]

<Nobu> Do both

You do have a point. :3

Really, I think I could pull either off pretty well, maybe-- and the costume would certainly be easier to make than Shikieiki's, as much as I'd love going around wearing a YamaHat and lecturing people. :3

[Nobu]

The same thing that happened to a lot of my cosplay prospects, time and inability to sew :fail: I still haven't forgotten, and really the only thing holding me back for that is a lack of long green shirt and white undershirt. :x

[Gpop]

I actually thought about Koishi for a little bit, but seeing as I'd probably have to make the costume myself it doesn't really work. :< (Haha, I actually thought of you when considering it too, Gpop Hartmanco)

 :3

I think I have a certain friend Chibity that sows and makes her own cosplay~

[Jana]

Having met you in real life, I think I can confidently say you'd look great as either Nue or Nitori. I'm not saying the Sanae is a bad idea (she's one of my favorites, and that costume is GORGEOUS), but fun with props is a part of why I think the other two would be better.

(And, well, you wouldn't even need a wig for Nue.)

[Unassuming Squid]

Sanae is infinitely better than Nitori.

But Nue is best of all.

or you could mix all three into one crazy-ass hybrid of awesome

[Nobu]

Re: People who actually thing me cosplaying Nue is a good idea - Y'all are on crack. :ohdear: Especially you Jana, you must need a stronger prescription or something. If I *did* end up going with Nue it'd probably only be in addition to another costume, in case I chicken out or something. Nitori and Sanae both provide things to hide behind, having wigs and accessories and what have you. >_<


Cosplaying as all three: you only live once, right? The sad thing is i'm actually considering it now. Nevermind that it'd cost me something like $400+ dollars. :colonveeplusalpha:

[Gpop]

No cosplay as KoiFlaNue

Or http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/716180/blonde_hair-blush-cosplay-flandre_scarlet-komeiji_ (DANBOORU ADS WARNING ETC)

[triangles]

Nitori + petticoat is my vote but I don't like Sanae really so  :V

[Alfred F. Jones]

Nue wouldn't even be crossplay. Do something a bit more challenging.

And for some strange reason, I feel inclined to beg for Utsuho cosplay. It would be crazy hard to pull off, but awesome to do.

or Kogasa

[Reddyne]

Supporting the fellow engineer over Player 2.

[Alice★f]

Okay, seeing as there's other suggestions than our sexy shrine maiden or avid engineer, I'd say do an Okuu cosplay. Wear jeans, and make your own cannon. You'll look badass!

[Drake]

Make sure you toss on a pair of bloomers and stuff it with cotton stuffing for puffiness.

[Cadmas]

what happened to dressing up as ijiyatsu slaves?

That would require Nobu to learn tailoring.

Go as Nitori. Sanae cosplay requires boobs.

[Jana]

Especially you Jana, you must need a stronger prescription or something.

When I got a stronger prescription, I ended up posting the hihg awrads. I don't wanna do that again.

Sanae cosplay requires boobs.

That has never stopped Nobu before!

[Nobu]

Pfft, everyone in my Touhouverse wears side-tie shimapan.

Nue wouldn't even be crossplay. Do something a bit more challenging.

And for some strange reason, I feel inclined to beg for Utsuho cosplay. It would be crazy hard to pull off, but awesome to do.

I dunno how long thighhighs, heels, and a short black skirt would count as 'not crossplay'. :/

[ruro]I'm accusing Nue of being male again, because I'm a total jerkass. :derp:[/ruro]

As for Utsuho, it indeed would be awesome, but outside the realm of possibility for at least this next con. :<

or Kogasa

:blush:

Kilga would beg to differ.

[Matsuri]

Speaking of Minato, check it out. Looks like I could get away with wearing my glasses, too. My eyes are blue, as well :3

EDIT: Danbooru warning, etc.

[Nobu]

All you have to do is say that you're doing a P4 crossover. Voila, instant glasses. :v

[Jana]

Actually, my friends wanted me to do both Minato and Dojima for Persona photshoots next year. You should totally come up to Chicago for it in May, Matsuri~

[Nobu]

I'm trying to envision how you would pull off Dojima. Wear a suit-shirt and paint a 5-o-clock shadow on your face?


Also, added Nue and surprise(!) Murasa to the poll, feel free to change your vote if you wish. No one mentioned the Cap'n, but I just realized I also have the hair for her too, she's awesome, and cosplayfu has her costume too. :3

[Ryuu]

walk around with a giant fuckass coffee, of course.

(link to murasa? c-cough.)

[Jana]

I can grow my own shadow very quickly. I was just super!shaved when I saw you since I was crossplaying.

...Hopefully, I do Dojima first, then shave and crossplay...

[Nobu]

(link to murasa? c-cough.)

That's Godot's thing, not Dojima. I don't remember him drinking coffee much.

And check the poll, links are all up there. :3

[Alice★f]

;_;
/seppuku

Fine, but engineer girl's pretty awesome, so no seppuku today.

[Ryuu]

That's Godot's thing, not Dojima. I don't remember him drinking coffee much.

It became kind of a fandom joke, with Dojima demanding a giant fuckass coffee from Adachi.

oh I see.

...ffff that murasa costume would save me a lot of time and effort but that skirt is so short.

[Nobu]

You could get it longer, or just commission shorts instead. They make the costumes to order, and take all your measurements, so I don't think it'd be a big deal to do that.

[Mr_Bob]

Save your money, get the cheap one. Or better yet, buy nothing.
Dilemma Solved!

[Momiji]

There are some other costumes here, they don't have quite the selection but their designs are a lot more accurate.  They also make them custom-sized for no extra charge.

[Nobu]

Thanks Momi, but that's actually the site I looked at first. I was considering their Suwako costume because it's gorgeous, but I don't know if I'd realistically look good in such a costume despite how cute it is ;; And their Reimu and most of their other costumes are clearly high quality, but none of them with the exception of Reimu were people I really wanted to cosplay.

I don't know if I'd say they're 'lot more accurate', I think it really depends on the commissioning picture and luck of the die. They kinda dropped the ball on Nitori though. The colors are terrible, and the only thing I like better is the skirt. (the top is missing the fitted cuff detail and fits looser).  If I could have the cosplayfu colors and top, with the fanplusfriend's backpack, skirt, and hat, that'd be the best. Cosplayfu does custom-sized too, so there's no difference there.

You worry about this too much. >_>

[Nobu]

<_<; I probably do. It's a major insecurity of mine, but mainly just crops up when dressing female because I want to look feminine and cute and, well, not male. It's not so much a attractiveness issue as it is a 'deemphasizing the discrepancy between male and female as much as possible'. I guess a good analogy would be that most girls do not want to look like drag queens when they walk out the door.

There's something to be said about bro-ing it up and rocking the obvious sex discrepancy, and you're awesome for being able to do so. But it's just not for me. Or at least, not when there's still a possibility I can still pull off the androgynous/feminine look. :derp:
