So - Basically the reason I had disappeared for a bit was because I was working my a** off making costumes for an Anime Convention. (I have pictures if you guys would like to see them.) So this year, I'm trying to avoid that and start yearly. Only problem - No clue what I should go as. So do you guys have any good ideas? :] Though, I'd like to avoid Naruto, Bleach, and DBZ seeing as about half of the convention is made up people in those costumes >.>''

Yes I want to see pictures XD. Um, what kinds of characters/costumes are you interested in (Asian, Fantasy, Medieval, Minimal, School Girl, etc). Also, any specific video games or mangas or animes you like?

I like basically all anime except for the ones like MewMew Power >.< I'm looking for something that's cute/crazy at the exact same time. So no school girl, way to plain :] Swallows Cosplay from Pet Shop of Horrors  Ganguros!!  There's my group's cosplays. :] I'm posting other people's in the picture thread.

I like the Swallows, they look more interesting. They also kinda remind me of Final Fantasy for some reason. Personally I like a lot of costumes that come from Video Games. Um, Soul Calibur has some cool costumes :/

yeah, most of them are pretty.... skanky to say the least. Or involve a lot of metal, but that can be faked

Well not knowing your body type its hard to tell you any good ideas.
but I Can think of 3 ones that will be rather unique.
FrankNfran from the manga of the same name is rather cool and creepy.

If your looking for Sexy but with less skin i say try a girl from Air Gears.
http://www.onemanga.com/Air_Gear/6/00-cover/
My last suggestion is Sunako Nakahara from Perfect Girl Evolution( also know as the wallflower.)
http://www.onemanga.com/Perfect_Girl_Evolution/36/01/
And an old school fav that is bound to get you picture take if you can pull it off is Alita from Battle Angel Alita.

I feel a person should only cosplay a character they actually look like. This leaves me stuck doing Kenpachi from bleach if I ever get wrangled into it. heh well that's my sage advise for the day.

Thank you ^_^ And I'm the one in the middle of the Swallows pictures if that helps at all.
I'll check out FrankNfran and Alita for sure. And as for Air Gears and Soul Calibur, uhm, I'd like a costume that has a little more costume to it. sweatdrop
See, the thing is I'm doing a group cosplay with my friend, and the anime's I've shown her, that I like, she hasn't exactly loved the costumes :/ So far We've been looking a bit at Tales of Symphonia and Vesperia.

So me and my friend ended up choosing this:
My Cosplays: Lethe from Fire Emblem, Ganguro, and Amy from Sonic the Hedgehog.
Friend's Cosplays: Lyre from Fire Emblem, Ganguro, and that Bumblebee dude from Sonic the Hedgehog.
I chose the Fire Emblem ones, my friend chose the Sonic ones. x] Sorry we didn't do any from the stuff you guys suggested. My friend is very picky, and we needed series with two main female characters that are friends and that aren't really freakin' annoying, which is surprisingly hard to find.

They're looked down at badly, yes, but they are so fun to cosplay x] And easy too, all you need is bright clothing, white make-up and spray tan :]
