[COSPLAY] Where do you get your cosplay inspiration from?

LilMissLarBear · Post by **LilMissLarBear** » 21 Apr 2021, 20:10

This is a place to share any of your favourite places where you get your cosplay inspiration! Also below you are also free to share how do you select a new cosplay and what inspires you for doing so!

Do you find it easy to pick who you are going to cosplay? Are there certain things that you consider that limit your cosplay choice (e.g. I always go homemade/anything I can find because I tend to work on a low budget so my cosplays tend to not look like full costumes XD)

Discuss below!

I'll be honest sometimes I just want to dress sexy and cosplay is an excuse to do it

But I do feel you have more fun doing it at a convention rather than just walking around like a normie

I think when I went to Leeds con, the number of times I have looked at a cosplay and went "god, I wish I can do that" was just not even funny! Huge respect to those that can but a decent costume together, because I sure cant lol

I generally buy my outfits because I don't have the time to make them, I wish I did though lol

Also when picking characters I tend to go for personality, but will also go for outfits I think look cool

My inspiration comes from just picking a good couples character to match my gf's cosplay. The real inspiration I find comes from getting her costume as meticulously accurate as possible. I've dropped a lot just on cosplay shoes for her, alone, lol.

Oh trust me, I have less than wholesome reasons for liking her to have accurate cosplays

I wanna try and cosplay Iori from The King of Fighters. But I'll need a lot of money if I wanna get the right jacket

That is actually really cool! I dont think ive ever seen a lot of cosplay couples tbh (may see more as I go to more cons) but that is so cool, and cute!

Thank you! Yeah, we either shoot for canon couples, or character pairs (I.E. Tanjiro & Nezuko)
