I'm too short for Francis.

Although I do have a steel-pot helmet Black stripe down the middle, and all I need then is a brown coat.

I know nothing of Death Note though, Blam.

Aw. You'd look good as him. Or maybe Matt, though he's kinda overexposed by fans anyways.

I might have something that could work for that. So that might work.

I was also thinking maybe Amber Sweet... Or I dunno.

As a Firefly fan, I must say that Mal Reynolds doesn't sound like a bad idea.

Well, forget fitting for me, because my cosplay finally arrived!

Because the rank is wrong on the shoulders, and because I'll be adding on some other things (hat, gloves, dog [plushie] that never existed in FMA) that are hardly canon, I have been referring to myself as future!Furey. I mean, presumably he'd hit 1st Lieutenant a few years after the main storyline ended? Or would he have to go back to some sort of academy for that or something? Well whatever, it's plausible enough...

I have a few ideas for next year's Port Con (and I might go to Anime Boston), but if anyone can suggest anything else, I can take a look, and if it's a series I haven't already seen, it gives me something else to add to my watchlist.

I'm currently planning on going as Devit, Claire Stanfield, and possibly Ayumu Aikawa, if only because it's a crossplay I could actually pull off. And I'll probably reuse Hei/BK-201 for one day.

My most recent picture of myself that I like.

My actual hair at a fairly short length.

One more with bushier hair.

So, should I cosplay as Dexter this Halloween? I don't have photos on hand, but my avatar should fill you in.(it's a portrait)

I . . . kinda remember what you look like. And I would say that you should have no trouble with a Dexter cosplay.

@cute: I would say . . . Dexter. If only because I can't think of anything else and am no good at recommendations. Sorry, that's just what it reminds me of, now that Mr W has used the name. Don't mind me. >.>

Well, yes, it seems that there is some similarity. Thanks! grin

I'm still looking for ideas... My current idea for my next costume is Sniper, but I've already done Scout before, and I'd be up for something different.

I'm a hard guy to match to a costume, though. Anyone here have any ideas?

Here's a bit about myself:

  • I look like this.*
  • I'm 6'6" (or 200cm for those of you from civilized lands). I'm just too damn tall to any character shorter than "average", and even that's pushing it.
  • I seem incapable of growing anything except a Goatee of Evil, and fake beards/moustaches annoy the crap out of me. If facial hair is necessary to pull off the character, it's probably not the character for me.
  • I'm not very experienced at this stuff - Scout was my first costume. I can't sew very well at all, but I am half decent at making props. Any costume where I can scrounge up pieces from thrift stores would work better than a costume that I would have to sew myself - I'd probably screw it up.

With that in mind, any ideas, fellow tropers?

Are you a youthful, attractive East Asian female?

If YES, cosplay at will. If NO, do not cosplay.
