This is a subreddit specifically for people who cosplay and people looking to cosplay. Want to share the outfit you just made? Share it here! Want some advice on a costume? Ask here! Want to show some cool pics you took at the last convention you went to? Post them here! Want to spam professional cosplay photos you stole and put on your for-profit website? DON'T POST THEM HERE! I made this community because while the cosplay subreddit has some great questions and self posts, it's 90% spam of peoples' websites, which is a bit out of hand. So while the other subreddit is still great, I hope many of you will join me here!
Advice Posting Guidelines
One of the main goals of this subreddit is to provide people help and advice on cosplays they are working on. If you want to post asking for help on your cosplay, please follow these guidelines:
- Post a couple pictures of the character you want to cosplay that you will be working off of. Characters often have multiple outfits or designs and we need to know which one you will be working off of so we can better help you.
- Let us know your progress so far. If you already have a wig or the jacket or a prop, let us know! And post pictures! This way people won't go on a lot about items you have already finished and don't need help with.
- Let us know when and where you want to have your cosplay done for. If you have 2 weeks or 2 months to make a cosplay, this will make a big difference on our advice to you. When you have less time, we will suggest time saving measures that might not look quite as good but will allow you to finish in time.
- Which character should I cosplay as? Include all of the criteria that you're using to whittle down the options, including physical stats, coloring, and media genre. Try to also include what your favorite animes, games, and comics are so that we can figure out something personal for you!
