Cosplay suggestions?

Postby ladydx » Tue Jun 03, 2003 8:55 pm

Okay..here's my problem...I plan on going to AWA..and if I do..I plan on cosplaying. I already have a few things in mind..just need to get to work on them. Now..that leaves my hubby to run around with a cosplayer at the con..and so as not to let him feel left out..I need suggestions on what he might go as.
He's about 6'2...390 lbs (when I say this..think football defense player..while he's big..it's in the chest, shoulders..ect)..blonde hair..blue eyes..
And please don't say Vash...I tried that already..and got a dirty look for my trouble.. :oops: :lol: :lol: 8)

If he is running around with you, you might want to think of team outfits. What I mean is whatever series you cotume is from you might want to choose his costume from that anime as well.

ummm ... you might want to check that scale again .... because at 6'2 and practically ALL muscle, <a href="http://raw.wwe.com/superstars/steiner/index.html"> SCOTT STEINER</a> only weighs in at 255 lbs.

ugh..Scott Steiner..*shudders* :?

okay so he's got some table muscle as well... :roll: :P ..what I was trying to say is that he's not all gut like some might think at that size. He's got big shoulders and a big chest too..geez... :roll:

MAS..well..if we were to do that..it'd have to be someone from either Trigun..or Hellsing..seeing as how I plan on going as Lina from ep 18 of Trigun...and/or Seras (in the fatguies, not the short skirt) from Hellsing.

BTW...thanks for the suggestions Hitori ^^

There are some villians in Trigun that are rather big. Do one of those costumes. But a person shouldn't be limited by their size on what they want to play. I have a friend who is about the same size I would think, and he's dream cosplay is Happosai (from Ranma), and he's going to do it to.

If he's so big, you may want to look into fighting game characters. Some of their costumes can be really simple to make or buy even. (I'm thinking old characters like Ken from Street Fighter).

If you are insisting on Trigun, eother the first dude ot do the Nebreaska family. Those actually have never been done and it seems your pal may be viable to pull them off if you are willing to go through the effort of making the costumes well.

Something from a fighting game definitely sounds like your best bet. Usually in most games the guys are muscular and their outfits arent all that complex. I don't have any characters to suggest off the top of my head, but I'm sure you can find one. :lol:

Given that the theme of this year's AWA is Clamp... why not go as Hikaru and Lantis. Lantis is pretty big and muscular... AND it would make you(Hikaru) seem shorted than you really are! Because Hikaru is short... ^_^ Bu that's just my idea... I'm going as Umi Ryuuzaki.
