Hello darlings!
Cosplays that I am beginning the process of working on. Some of them may potentially be taken to Yama-con 2017 (Themed supernatural/paranormal) will be listed below and become a regular topic on the blog and FB page.
List:
Males-
- Dean Winchester - SuperNatural
- Lots of people only appreciate Dean for his looks; however, for me there is more to it than that. Dean is a soldier. His entire life was about taking care of someone else for them to leave. He never felt like he could get attached to people because they would leave. Above it all though, he is still a lover and fighter. He never stopped loving those who hurt him and he never stopped fighting to protect those he loved. So next time you think of Dean, please get past his looks.
- Kiba Inuzuka from Naruto Shippuden
- Before you start "Whyyyyyy?" -ing me, let me explain. Kiba was my first cosplay, and I have grown a lot as a person since them. So in order to close the door on who I was I would like to re-visit where it started. So I am going to do the grown version of Kiba. My leveled up Kiba, so to speak.
- has a character based off of Loyalty and hard work.
- Doesn't get enough love or credit
- Ryuji Sakamoto (Persona 5)
- This boy is my personality in a nutshell. Might be a group cosplay with a friend that I met from Yama-con last year. Gonna either test my limits as a cosplayer or be super easy.
- Fabulous personality
- Going to be a challenge if I make his armored version
- Noiz - DMMD
- He is very attractive, but again, he means more to me.
- He can't feel anything, and all he wants is to feel pain. He wants to remember what it feels like. He grew up in a hard way and those things still stick with him and I can relate and respect that. I want to show the guy that girls with fan-girl over, but I want to show them a man whose been hurt.
- Kuroo Tetsuro - Haikyuu!!
- Because I am sports anime trash.
- I love him.
- He is my attitude embodied in a character.
- I would probably do the different variations of him such as-
- Volley ball player
- Police officer
- mobster
- neko
- suit and tie good boy
- I'll already have the wig if I do Ryuji
- This salty twig is me.
- I love volley ball.
- He is actually a very strong and metaphoric character.
- Might do other characters from Haikyuu as well, depends on what wigs I have and what I feel like.
- Shizuo or Izaya from Durarara!!!
- I adore them
- Both of them have major personality traits that I respect and relate too
- are both very deep characters
- I ship it
- I want to
- I more or less already have both costumes made
- Hei - Darker than Black
its a big pic, click for better res - Complicated character who deals with all kinds of pain and suffering, eventually deals with addiction but over comes it.
- Curious back story
- interesting character to try and portray- someone who never dealt with emotion suddenly starts feeling things and can't cope
- was/is an awesome assassin
Females-
This year I am going to try and do more females. Why? Because doing a Fem!Black Ranger costume and taking it to the movies showed me something. The little girls were amazed to see a powerful female that they could look up to, because heroes were "Supposed to be the boys!". I met a bunch of little girls who thought that the boys were the only ones who could be strong. That's not okay, so I want to inspire more people by doing strong women cosplays that rely on more than sex appeal.
- Shego - Kim Possible
- Okay, I know she is a villain but come on! That is one bad butt chick! I'd follow her to the ends of the earth and back.
- I also may do Kim herself.
- Character I grew up with
- Strong. Very strong, with a good heart.
- Astrid - How to Train Your Dragon
- As a person with Viking heritage it would be an honor to bring some factual history into Astrids design and play around with my armor working abilities. Not to mention I really want to make a battle axe.
- Isi DawnDancer - Monster High
-
Credit to Fantazyme "What?" Shut up. Monster High is kinda like My Little Pony in the way that, regardless of the intended audience, it is very entertaining and has good life lessons. - A lot of little girls like the Monsters and see them as strong, so if I can bring one of their heroes to life then I will.
- Isi has a style influenced by Native American culture and I also have Native American blood in me so this is a personal interest.
- Yin - Darker Than Black
- There is something about the empty expression she wears that draws me to her. She looks hurt, but she is strong as heck. And that's okay, to be hurt and be strong. I want to show people that through her.
- Hopelessly in love with a cat.
- Lisbeth - SAO
- This girl and I have a lot in common. She loved someone, but her friend loved him first so she backed off. She has a ton of guy friends. She is strong and resourceful. She is a maker. She has a slightly different body type than the average.
That is all I have for now. I would like to cosplay characters from Psycho-pass; however, I first must get over the emotional trauma that the show caused me.
I hope you look forward to what Ani-Maze-Me has in story! See ya at the cons ;)
