@SANJI_THE:

helen that is an awsome zoro!!!
i love that special!!!
u two did a really good job on it. and the mr. prince is to die for. i wish i had those glasses. man i am low away by the cosplays i have been seeing lately on this thread. (kinda jealous). i hope one day we can meet face to face and take pics(mucho epic pics).we can party all night(burning with excitement). love to meet both of u face to face. wat u say my nakama?

Okay okay thanks….Its appreciate it honestly, I'm not saying you have to give people complements if you don't want to...but a balance between negitive and posative in a critique is important. Its important to think about how you say things, and don't create confrontation for confrontations sake. As a long time forum lurker I've seen many of a forum thats just become a blood bath..and I don't like that (it takes all the fun out of it okay).

You do cosplay a very good sanji, except I recomend that you try finding a white shirt (with black stripes and dieing it to the base color..this is partly cause I'm a sucker for the black stripe on vivid color.) ...and the jacket is easy too if you want to know how I made that..but yeah I really like your cosplays and hope to see you at either Detour or Acen.

Ah your are to good. Its easy to make the jacket…here I tell you how I did mine..you take a jacket like a regular one ( I got mine at good will..)..sow four buttons on the front of one side like in rows of two..

like this okay

then you (on the other side cut six small slits spaced like the buttons...) and your done...its easy...

.......don't stop you do a great Sanji its not that which bothers me okay?? but everyone can improve some things ...including me (I'm like always get confuesed about wich side to put markings and such...)

....ACEN is in chicago....

helendragon

@SANJI_THE:

oh and before i forget. Helen I am nicer in person. it is just i have to much pride to ammit i a amaitur at cosplay(i in my eyes).and the fact of the matter is that ever cosplayer out there brings a whole new side to each character. the only reason i say he/she is the best is that they most resemble them and have that vibe about them.
i have never met u face to face so i don't no ur vibe(yet.

…Its okay man. Just don't harsh my mellow....You do a great cosplay, keep it up.

SANJI_THE BLACK_LEG

thanx for the advise.
but sanji is not me. i unlike u, clint, hoffy, kyra, etc. have not found my true cosplay.
i am hoping it is ace. but tell me who do u thing i can be.

(that is very far and i don't have a car)

@SANJI_THE:

who u got in mind

I was thinking about doing Kaku in his CP9 look, mostly because I kinda looked through some clothes and saw some things that might work. I may or may not actually go through with it, though.

@SANJI_THE:

Is there such a thing as a one true cosplay man. I don't think so. Cosplay is FUN…!!!...Have fun doing it man, don't worry about stuff like that. You do a nice sanji, you'll do a great Ace to okay man. I personally am hoping my Ginko cosplay is going to work out...but when it comes down to it I don't lock myself to which I am best suited for. I do what I think would be fun!!.....I do characters I like ...You do a nice sanji. I would totally glomp you. (I'm like a total sanji-fan girl kay..).....(but not usually the glomping sort so you would bein deserving of it.)...are you the character sanji ..no. I mean nobody can be its a fictional character. It all comes down to which charaters you enjoy cosplaying. I just want to point out a few things that would make perfect. You already have the fact that your a guy going for you man, your wig is very good, I just wanted to be more constructive. Just like you can be to harsh ...I could be more constructive with my comments...

Heres a few images (some silly/funny ones) we did around the time of AI...Ah I tryed to get them down to scale but...If you guys like I have more goofy pics but I didn't want to over load you guys ...(especially when they wouldn't stay the size I wanted them to be..grrr.)...

This is a pic of us goofy around…(we switched outfits...lol the shirts way to tight it doesn't fit him at all...)

This is pic with my awesome friend DC-Chan…(she's my bud, a memeber of both the cosplay and anime clubs at our school ..which I am as well though..I'm kind of the baby of the cosplay club ...I just started last year.) This pic was taken during a photoshoot on campus last year..with my red shirt sanji outfit...

This is a pic with my first cosplay!! (taken in our room at anime detour..) The shirt in which I was stupid and tryed to draw all the stripes on…The Nami in the pic is anouther friend from school and our Cosplay club president. (who also makes all of my wigs...)

QUOTED FOR TRUTH!!

Seriously, it doesn't matter if you find 'your one true cosplay' in the end, you're just dressing up as a fictional character, you can never actually BE that character, even if you supposedly act like them. Cosplay is just about having fun, its been said many times, but its so very true. Yeah it is better to put effort into a cosplay, even if you don't really look like the character, what matters is you put a lot of hard work into it.

Like, CoralSnake… She was an amazing Buggy, but A. she is a girl B. she is short. So what? That didn't take from the fact that she did an amazing job, it got the reaction of "OMG its Buggy!"

Hell, I don't look like any of the characters I want to cosplay, but I love them enough to try making awesome cosplays, my own renditions.

Just had to say what I thought. ^_^

No seriously, anything's possible. I didn't think I'd be a good Luffy at all.

jmbjr

Okay, this is what I'm using for my Kaku cosplay so far. I'm not going to any conventions or anything, it's just for fun. I still to figure out what I'm going to do for the hat and nose, and possibly his swords. The shirt is a little more blue than black, but oh well. Thoughts? (Sorry if the picture doesn't show)

Edit: Crap, that picture's too small! Sorry, but if I resize it, the quality will be terrible. Oh well.

CoralSnake

...And you should do what ever cosplay you want to do...don't hold yourself back...

...oh and I am so going to have to do that for a few tiger zoro pics ..theres this Lady on my LJ that I heart who has a thing for zoro all bloody...which is understandable...

CoralSnake

I'm about to dump a HUGE BLOB of pictures in one submission on DA cause I was inspired ^______^ huggles Helendragon I am MUCH too proud of my Buggy cosplay and much too grateful to Charli for actually giving me incentive to get it done before November, done EVEN before Halloween when is which I had planned to surprise everyone but lo and behold I got it done (with LOTS of help from her LOL ) before Laborday! but yeah just slapping it up on DA heh >< OOOOH and I forgot about this picture…

it's not like I like this pairing... but GOD DAMNNIT I couldn't help it ;3; usually nobody will take pictures with me like this ^^; hides

I always try to catch my friends sleeping, but nobody EVER catches me >>; c'mon guys try harder! obviously we were just pretending, but I hope it's not offensive cause well =_=; god it's just not bad at all! this was at AnimeFest Dallas Labor Day weekend and no… I didn't place my hand there on purpose >>;

KamenRiderNeko

That picture is too cute! ^_^

And yes, it would be so much fun to cosplay Perona, I'd totally love to wear that outfit, mainly because she is wearing stockings that cover her legs (god knows I HATE my legs)

And at one point, I thought it'd be awesome to cosplay battle-damaged Zoro, all bloody and stuff like he was during his fight with Mr. 1… Oh GOD. That fight is one of my favorites, its so damn hot~ That and Zoro vs Kaku... <333

CoralSnake

OH MY GOD YES PirateNeko O__O Battle damage Zoro would be AWEsOME EEEE! MUST go get fake blood now… I must find a way to take pictures as someone One Piece related like that LOL

and thank you for the compliment ^^ I hope I didn't creep Charli out doing that but I was DAMN exhausted x_x; furr coat in the heat taking pictures = Buggy dehydrated and dead tired but worth EVERY moment! and I feel the SAME WAY about my legs... praises GOD for Buggy having stockings, then curses god that she refuses to wear them as Usopp to spare the girlyness

Now that's a really flattering statement you got thar, Ms Cricket. X3

!

With my hair the way it currently is, I could very likely cosplay the "Detective Memoirs of Chief Straw Hat Luffy" OP special that took place similar to the Edo Period in Japan, hair tied and all. XD

That, and I'm considering Unlimited Adventure Luffy as a likely cosplay for AX 2008.

w00t! If hoffy really is gonna do the UA Luffy I will be his UA Zoro XD than we need to get our crew for AX08 :3
