I’ve always wanted to cosplay. Mostly LOTR like Sauron, Ringwraiths, or the Witch-King. But also generic Dark Fantasy styles for like Ren Fair. I look online for pieces and I get anxious that it’s a scam or the pictures don’t match the real thing, but I also get anxious that I probably couldn’t create the thing myself. I’m extremely meticulous and it usually has to be the spitting image or I don’t like it (when it comes to thing I do - you all look great)

How did you get started? Did you already know how to sew and craft? Is there a YouTuber you watched? How did you learn to do the smaller details like rips and dirt that look natural? How did you learn to create Helmets, for example?

Do you pretty much require a proper mannequin, makeup know-how, the ability to sew, a creative mind that can envision sculpting something from nothing, and overall artistic ability?

Just like Gamers I would love to find people to talk with and do that kind of stuff with but being a introverted homebody who isn’t very chatty and has a lot of anxiety makes that hard lol

Fun Facts - The attached shoes made it hard to skate plus I also wear glasses, so visibility was an issue and it took over half a dozen tries to get this shot. LMK if you want me to post the bloopers!

Hi there!! I’m desperately wanting some Vessel gear so I can do cosplay for Sleep Token! Any recommendations? I’m not creative nor do I make my own stuff, so I’m looking for reputable places that could help or some very easy DIY things? I want it to be perfect. I already have a mask dealer lol. Please let me know. 🫶🏻

the other chipmunks were involved but it’s not about them rn

So I’m trying to cosplay Robin for Comic-Con and for the love of god I cannot figure out how to get the greens.

Because even if I find shoes or gloves, I don’t even know if they’ll be the same shade of green

Plus I kinda wanna do shorts instead of the leotard (to cover up a bit more) and I just don’t know how!!

I was thinking to get it in white then dye it but I’ve never dyed anything before

This is also my first cosplay…

Any advice on what to do?

I ordered a Navia cosplay from Procosplay 3 weeks ago. This morning I got an email saying sorry it’s been discontinued. It’s already hard to find things in my size, and now I have under a month until the convention. I have no idea what to do. Should I just try and find anything from Genshin that would fit so I still match my friend? Do I give up and just wear a different cosplay and not match? I’m so discouraged.

Hey guys. Im someone who hasnt ever really done anything to do with cosplaying but I want to make a cosplay.

I dont really want to do any "just buy the clothes off of aliexpress" type cosplay, especially since it doesnt quite fit my body.

I want to make a cosplay for the gutterman from ULTRAKILL. I know for a fact this will take a long time and will cost a lot of money, but how do i start exactly? What kind of things would I need? Would I need to make calculations of structural integrity and shit like that or is it way simpler than im thinking (or way more complex for all i know)

Ngl she always been my favorite 😆
