@Arei:
So you're giving her a jew nose? XD Sorry, someone I know refers to his jew nose all the time XD
You might could try a bent prosthetic witches nose. Though its hard to find one not covered in warts >_>
You probably COULD alter a latex pinoccio nose, AKA the usopp nose, into Catarina's nose. As it can be shortened to the right length.
The only thing would be having a huge mass of paper clay in there to create the bent shaped of her nose. You would have to make sure the part of the clay that touches your nose is molded to it pretty well.
I'm not entire sure it would be too heavy since it's pretty small, but I'm not sure about sticking spirit gum on the clay and sticking it to your nose vs the latex. I'll try it sometime XD
It has nothing to do with the amount of panel time she's gotten. Her personality and looks are pretty obvious from how she was presented (of course, we don't know all of her quirks yet).
She's unconventionally attractive. Most people may not find her physically attractive at all, but the combined effort of her showy, flirty personality combined with her appearance makes me an interesting and attractive character. Oda knows how to make characters and make them well.
My thing would be, I wouldn't want to see some cute, round faced girl cosplaying her. That's far from her personality. She's not a young thing, she's sassy and confident. I would rather see someone with less then average looks taking a stab at her.
But that's not to be elitist or anything. We don't need a rant of anyone can cosplay whoever they want because we've heard it 100 times. Anyone can cosplay Catarina yes yes >_> But I'm saying it would be best achieved by someone not blessed in the looks department, or a master of make-up.
Though she does have such an unrealistic head, many can argue it's impossible to get it right, which it is. There are other things about her that can be achieved by natural means or make-up.
Edit: I'm excited to see your friend's Catarina, Alina~ I think she can TOTALLY pull it off >:D
I just wanted to say that I have to completely disagree with your opinion on who should cosplay this or that. If a drop dead beautiful gorgeous women like Alina's friend wants to cosplay Devon, there's just about nothing wrong with that, as there would be if any other beautiful woman wanted to cosplay her. Sure, Devon's got a hot body and not so much of a hot face, but i wouldn't expect some ugly ass troll to be the only one to want to cosplay her. As I cosplayed Jesus Burgess, and yes, I'm not the most beautiful person on earth by ANY stretch of the imagination, I'm also not as ugly as Burgess, didn't stop me ONE BIT from cosplaying him, or cosplaying anyone else.
Not trying to start a war with you, but I just had to express my own opinon on the matter. I cannot WAIT to see Alina's friend cosplay Devon, just from the Matsumoto shots.. HOLY WOW O_O OH MY GOD she's gonna ROCK ROCK ROCK XDDDDDD
Go BB cosplay GO!!! It does NOT get enough love, I've only ever seen a hand full of people even ATTEMPT it, like one other Burgess besides myself, and I've NEVER seen a Doc Q other than my sis * to my knowledge* even though I'd LOVE TO O_O
Okay..time to go walking now XD
