The Non-Mer Cosplay Thread

Yes, that makes perfect sense!

I'd been hesitant about developing a mersona for cosplay, and now I can see that it would be perfectly appropriate!

Now if only I had the time!

Do I sense a Cosplay in your future, Pearlie? My cousin has been trying to get me to go with h and his wife to Dragoncon for years but I haven't rallied......yet.

It would be more 'Pearlie appears at cosplay event' rather than 'Pearlie makes something to wear to a cosplay event'.

Okay, this might be a dumb question, but I've been wanting to ask it for a long time and this thread seems the perfect place. In cosplay, is it expected that you replicate/represent a character from a specific comic/movie/book/show or can you make up something of your own? i.e. a screen accurate Sailor Moon is obviously something seen in cosplay, but if I made an awesome (but completely my own) superhero character, is that something that's done?

Pearlie, you can do whatever you want when it comes to cosplay/costuming. That faun I did was my own creation. Really anything goes. After years of replicating others designs I've found I really like making something of my own.

"Pearlie wears her tail to a cosplay event and rides around in an office chair with Theta" FTFY

My favorite cosplay that I did was my Lady Shen gown. I did a female version of Lord Shen from the movie Kung Fu Panda 2.

My hubby and I went to see the movie in the theaters and when I saw Lord Shen, I absolutely fell hard in love with him. During the movie my hubby and I started discussing ideas for a cosplay of it. As soon as the movie was over, we headed home and I immediately started planning out my costume.

It took a whole year to make and it was entirely hand sewn, hand beaded and rhinestoned.


There's more pics to view here if you like...

I have a snow elf cosplay. I kinda wanted to see if I could make a skyrim-ish kind of non-armored character, and she ended up a snow elf. But like, not the devolved falmer you find in-game in caves. It's an actual snow elf who can see and stuff. But I don't exactly have any good pictures, and to get good ones, I'd probably have to go somewhere with snow. Houston does not get snow.

I'll see if I can get pictures later on in the year when it's not too hot to wear tons of layers and an insanely long wig.

Also my icon/avatar is a half-done humanized Shaymin cosplay. The wig is also used for a Bleach OC, but eh. I like shaymin. It's fun. I just have to wear a lot of green.

[Mermaid Crystal Shimmer]

Thank you Mermaid Lucy!

These are the only two other decent pictures I have. I think I need to do a new photoshoot with this costume, since this was back in 2012 :P
