Cosplay Otaku Girl

Go To

The image on Cosplay Otaku Girl is kind of small, and not terribly evocative, either.

How about this cutscene image from Blaz Blue, resized as needed? (Warning: Danbooru link. Worksafe pic, but may contain questionable advertisements.)

The Konata pic works for me.

You have to be very careful with anime or western animation pics. Most of the examples, to someone who doesn't know better, look like those could be their default dress.

Konata is the only one that does not look like this. But how otaku does she look?

Konata is the best, because part of her costume seems to be wearing off, but I'm still not sure it's the best we can come up with.

We really need a stark contrast. Show what people normally wear, and then show the Cosplay Otaku Girl looking noticeably different.

I think Konata is the best.

She looks a lot like an Otaku.

Just try to catch all the references here...

I don't want a repeat of Defeat Means Friendship, so let me ask: Is everyone alright with this one or are there any objections?

That's about as good as it's gonna get.

We're really not going to do much better than this. Put it up.

In case anyone's wondering, I asked Foxy Mod for the unlock so I could ask a question about the current image. Does it really need the intro images before the one with all the references? Right now, the pic far outweighs the text that goes with it...it's not a huge issue, but I'm wondering if we've got too much of a good thing.

I don't think the first parts of the image really add anything.

I'd say drop the noodle panel, for sure. The Manga-reading panel might be important to establish her as a fan emulating other characters.

I think the first ones establish the Otaku part. The last one alone is simply cosplay. The noodles one could probably be dropped.

The noodles pic could definitely go. Now, is she supposed to be ordering the cosplay stuff from a catalog in the first two pics?
