*PLEASE NOTE*This group idea is for the whole group, which means team 1, team 2, and team 3 members are all in this group together. It's not at all mandatory for you to do all 4 different group idea's, however 1 is the minimal requirement per year to stay in the group, and more specifically, your team~

ALSO! To be apart of this group you must first apply for a team!


So the voted upon group idea for this category (Fan Favorite Costume) was a Hayou Miyazaki cosplay!

Unfortunately I couldn't find a list of all Miyazaki characters, so here's the next best thing; A list of all the studio Ghibli and Miyazaki collab movies paired with trailers and plot summaries included for each one. Please note, that this list contains also some of the more obscure Miyazaki films, so rather then just jumping on the Spirited Away or Howl's moving caslte bandwagon, try perhaps to explore all of his films before coming to a decision. Who knows, you might find the perfect character for you in something as obscure as Ocean Waves or even Pom Poko!

Now then how do we decide who cosplays who. We can do this one of two ways. One being the easy way where everyone is happy, no one wants to do the same person, and we can just have everyone pick who they like.

The other way is if people can't decide who they want to be, the group feels they want everyone to accurately look the part of the cosplay they would be portraying, or more then one person wants to be the same character, then we'll have to run things differently.

How things would work in the event of the second option becoming the reality is, I'd ask everyone to post pictures of themselves. Now the point of this is, if you don't know who you want to do, and want the groups input (think of those annoying who should I cosplay threads from the forums we all love, but cooler!), or in the case that let's say 3 people want to go as Howl, then the members of the whole group will each vote privately via a poll or simply voice their opinions on who should go as Howl.

Unlike the other thread (team fortress 2 thread to be exact) I wont be posting all the characters pictures, since there are just too many. So instead refer to the link in the beginning of this post, and choose a character, post the picture of the character, which Miyazaki film they're from, and their name, and I'll start a list going on the second post.

I'm going to list all the Miyazaki movie's I know of, and organize the characters you want to do under the already existing movie list. If you see I've forgotten one of the movie's, please don't be afraid to mention which one.

Ashitaka from Princess Mononoke for me, please.

Woot, you are going to make such an AWESOME Ashitaka!

Are you going to do him with the full battle gear on, aka that red hood and straw cloak sorta thing or just rock him without all of that?

Added to the list.

@Pleurer: Haha. Thanks.
I wasn't going to do the straw cloak (seems potentially messy) and red hood, but I already have a bow and arrows, so I was gonna use those.
And maybe I'll try to make his sword as well.
Also, I want to try and make Kaya's crystal dagger, but I haven't figured out how yet.

Sounds good to me.

For props I tend to lean towards molding and plastic resin. It usually gives off a very polished feel to it.

I gave a full explination I think on the process in the prop help thread:
