I've got two characters picked out for a con that's 6 months away
whoops

Now trying to choose a third.
But out of like 6 costumes.

ah so, there's this upcoming con i'm going to with a few friends, (holmat) in december, i had a character in mind but he's too complex to put together now, not to mention how expensive that would be. there's just a bit over a month left to plan any cosplays. my problem is, the only other characters i genuinely want to cosplay are from horror franchises, and this is a holiday/christmas convention. not only that, but all my friends are doing characters from things like pokemon, anime, etc. so if i did a horror character i'd totally stick out like a sore thumb. allyson from h18 is who i was most set on.

not sure what's better, getting together a cosplay i'm not too interested in doing, and saving allyson for a normal con, or just going for it and feeling pretty out of place the whole time.

thing is, i'd feel totally fine doing this for a normal con, since all my friends and i typically tend to do entirely different things anyway. i don't think there's been one time we've actually matched. that begs the question, i know this is a bit specific, doesn't hurt to ask though i suppose, by any chance has someone been to a holiday centered con, or something similar, and seen any cosplays that may be considered "out of place?"

i have a few other characters in mind i honestly wouldn't mind doing but, they'd be a bit harder to pull together, in time and on budget. i know this is one of those times where it's appropriate to just "do what you want!" but honestly, it just doesn't feel right in this situation.

Christmas-ify them, sort of like what people do with Zombie Santa?

So, I wanna do a mashup cosplay to celebrate Attack on Titan's last season next year, using Zoe Hanji. Trouble is, I can't decide who to mash her up with. All I know for sure is I'll be using the cool black coat of hers. Advice?

Oops I like never post on here. Currently on a bit of a cosplay pause until the new year, but just recently made a last few adjustments to my Terezi Pyrope cosplay when I wore her to a convention. I also just started using my sewing machine again, so now I can make more complex cosplays once I can afford material.

I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to do makeup to look more masculine without making it look too much like I'm actually wearing makeup if that makes sense. I'm working on a Dave Strider cosplay right now and struggling with working out how to do the makeup.

Maybe use this and combine elements from a natural makeup look?

Any pokemon cosplayers out there?
I'm currently working on sketching out all my eeveelutions but I'm thinking about also trying to cosplay Ratls.
Any recommendations for pokemon to cosplay (or outfit styles for my remaining eeveelutions, I have eevee (in a cute dress) and Leafeon (overalls and a crop top) I haven't started any others yet)

I've done some pokemon cosplay

A friend of mine did some magical girl inspired variants and I love that.

I love that -- taking an initial idea and adding to it. Some awesome cosplay have come of it, and I hope more do.
