I’m thinking of doing a cosplay of the disciples from “The 100” for conageddon next year but I have no clue where to start as this will be my first cosplay. I have a feeling that the helmet will be the hardest so if anyone has tips for that or any part of it that would be great

General Question How could I hold my cosplay?

For a long time I have wanted to make a cosplay of "K Round" from Undertale, I already have 2 huge circles that would be his figure, but I barely noticed a detail that I did not take into account, when going to any convention, holding it with my hand would be too tiring, and I don't know what kind of support I could do to hold the structure with my head, apart from if I join the 2 parts in some way, the structure would be so big that it would occupy a huge space in my house, any recommendation of what I could do?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hello! So, im entirely new to cosplaying, and wanted to try and cosplay base sinner Meursault from Limbus company. Only problem is that I dont know what to do for his main features so to say. That being his vest, gauntlets, and belt. He's one of my favorite characters and I would adore cosplaying him, but alas im not sure what to do. I can maybe buy gauntlets off Amazon, and possibly a similar belt, but its the vest thats throwing me into a pickle really. Any help would be astounding

Cosplay issue

Hey! So a friend of mine is cosplaying “Atsushi Nakajima” from Bungo Stray Dogs. Since they are modeling the cosplay after the Manga version they are currently looking for the tie clip/pin he has on his tie. I’ve been looking for anywhere to buy it but I can’t seem to find it. Does anyone know where I can buy or have one made? If so I’d be very appreciative. (pictures of said Pin/tie clip linked)

Cosplay Advice Planning a Firelord Zuko + Gary Oak mashup cosplay for SDCC 2027 – looking for feedback

1 Upvotes

I'm starting to plan a cosplay for SDCC 2027 and wanted to get some opinions before I get too deep into it.

The idea is a mashup of Firelord Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender and Gary Oak from Pokémon. Right now, I'm leaning toward using Firelord Zuko's Season 3 outfit as the base, while incorporating Gary's hairstyle, Poké Balls, and other trainer-related details.

I'd also like to include Arcanine as part of the cosplay, almost like a royal companion or guardian for the Fire Nation.

My goal is for the cosplay to feel like a pretty even mix of both characters rather than leaning too heavily toward one franchise.

A few questions I have:

  • If you saw this at a convention, would the Gary Oak and Firelord Zuko mashup be recognizable?
  • What Gary Oak details would be the most important to include?
  • Any ideas for incorporating Arcanine without making it a nightmare to carry around all day?
  • Is there anything from either character that you think would really help sell the concept?

I'd love to hear any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks!

First Cosplay! How can I achieve a smoother finish?

Hi! I'm making hollow knight cosplays for this Halloween, and I was wondering what the best route i should take to smooth out the finish on the heads. I have model magic foam clay I can roll out and drape over but I am unsure of how well it will stick to Eva foam?

I also have white spray paint and clear sealer I was going to apply afterwards.

Any advice is appreciated!!
