Angelfire so not too sure about linking, but some examples:

:lol
Locke & Terra (FFVI)

Cloud (FFVII)

:lol :lol

Dedication:

(RE2)

 

[Manabanana]

That Locke is a friend of mine. He's done a bunch of really awesome cosplay. His Joker from Persona 2 rocks.

 

[Jill Sandwich]

That zombette is hawt.

 

[Kai Dracon]

Lupin is so awesome he could (on looks and visual 'tude at least) star in a live-action Lupin show or movie. He looks that good.

 

[Zaptruder]

Haha. That's a pretty good take on lupin.

Cloud is pretty funny as well.

And damn good amanoesque versions of Locke and Terra. I'm impressed.

But we all know the zombette is the hottest.

 

[Ronin]

and my favorite.

 

[Ninjas4Less]

:lol gundam

 

[Rocket9]

:lol Reminds me of:

"Im Idaho!"

 

[whytemyke]

i like the last picture on that page... with yuna sending aerith with a slap on the ass.

 

[fennec fox]

I know a man who looks so much like Lupin without even trying that he could totally trounce that guy if he got the right color of sport jacket.

 

[Great King Bowser]

That zombette is easily as good as the ones in the films. Awesome make-up.

 

[Dead]

holy shit

 

[LakeEarth]

Excellent Asian Jack Sparrow :lol

 

[demon]

holy shit

Image hosted by Angelfire.........Fascinating.

 

[FnordChan]

Remember, the important thing is to be the character you're cosplaying as.

^^^
Have to pimp my friends out ^_~

Mana: My friends think your friend is hot ^_~

Some other notables:

That Adora was real sweet -- I met her at Anime Expo When I was dressed up as Calintz from the same series:

And they have my friend on that paged dressed up as Clarice from Yanya Caballista, although, they listed her as they didn't know.

 

[bjork]

Matlock seriously needs to cosplay Lupin. The resemblance in uncanny.

That Cloud crossdress one rules... I wonder why they never did a figure like that?

 

[bionic77]

Damn, that Aerith is incredibly close to the game.

 

[Lil' Dice]

Not bad, not bad at all.....

 

[Ninjas4Less]

Yeah bionic, thats pretty close.

 

[ChumsGum]

Those girls are HOT!!!

Dude, they're like 12 -- lol. When my friend was taking the shots, there were kids from the hotel leaving the pool area.

Not bad, not bad at all.....

It was nice painting her body paint. ^_~

Tell me more about her please....

 

[Chrono]

I guess I'll just post the ones I have in my photo bucket account..

<--- who are these guys supposed to be?

<-- I know, I know... It's too cool though!

 

[norinrad21]

Not bad, not bad at all.....

I second that

 

[empanada]

I think I saw this girl at AX2004.

 

[jiggle]

I remember her...didn't you post her photo before, without the cosplay?

 

[3phemeral]

Tell me more about her please....

She has a site about her cosplay experiences, among other things.

HoneyBunny

I remember her...didn't you post her photo before, sans the cosplay?

Yea -- when we went to Las Vegas for new years and there was a thread dedicated to new years photos.

I think I saw this girl at AX2004.

She's one of the "elite" cosplayers (the whole l33t shit some cosplayers have as an attitude is ridiculuous). Not sure if she's like that, but I've heard of a few sad rumors about the whole cosplay "hierarchy" -- it sucks.

Honestly how can anybody think they're any sort of 'elite' when they're cosplaying anime characters. ;

I know this guy who's going to E3 because he joined a group called something like 'elite ps2' owners. They gave him a card and everything. He only got a PS2 months ago though and just wants to go to E3 and the focus groups that 'elite group' attends. :lol

 

[ChrisReid]

Oh man, I actually recognize some of those people from DragonCon and such. The people get around.

Hot damn.


I think I've seen that Aerith before.

It has to do with the whole idea that you have the attractive cosplayers who have badass costumes, versus the non-attractive wannabees who can't seem to put a costume together for their lives. It's like in any social gathering, you have the "popular" ones and the "immitators" trying to be "popular". My friend (the one dressed in the Black Rose costume), made a good analogy about the whole elite thing. All the "knowns" are just actors in a play, everyone who takes the cosplay society seriously views them as the stars of the show. You should see the way some of these people act, and how some people act towards them. Cosplay is a strange world -- I only do it because my friends think I look good in the costumes she makes, and she like the attention she gets when people ask her about us. Otherwise, I think the whole l33t shit is incredibly strange.

I think I've seen that Aerith before.

She dresses like Aerith at every con because it's the only costume she has. She's been Aerith for a good 3-4 years now at the least.

 

[Lil' Dice]

While i think it would be easy to make fun of these people, i must admire the fact that they're not afraid of doing something that makes them happy, despite being ill-perceived and ridiculed.
I've always wanted to do a documentary on cosplay....

 

[Space Age Playboy]

Well when you look so much like a character, go with it!

It would be such a hot experience to get with a girl like that and call her Aeris (yeah, I said Aeris I'm not a l33t Japanophile snob :lol ). Much better than my current plan to buy a realdoll and dress it up like RPG characters.
