Cosplayer

I'm a cosplayer attempting to get fit so I can actually wear bought things without having to customize them to fit me. Currently I'm a bit far from my initial goal but I'm hoping to find friends here who will help motivate me.

I like video games and anime mostly and my hobbies are centered around those.

    I would love to be able to fit into store bought stuff and focus on customizing it to make it my own instead of having to work on making it so it looks ok on me. I would love to chat more if you wanna add me.

    I honestly quit cosplay because I was too big to buy pre custom clothes all my friends did. Hell, I ended up spending three months on my Princess Jellyfish cosplay! O don't watch many newer animes anymore since I don't cosplay (want to tho) but I'm hella bout video games and love steam (recently got a new account lol)

    Haven't done much cosplay. I got a sewing machine but I need time and money to make stuff. I have neither. I don't get to game a lot anymore but still love it when I can.

    I have always wanted to cosplay, but didn't want to look like the fat version of whatever I was cosplaying as :frowning: . I dressed up as punk rock sailor moon once, but would like to get fit enough to actually fit into premade pieces as well.

    Perhaps I should start with something that doesn't involve a short skirt.

    Hmm, good suggestion. Are there any established methods for getting started in Cosplay?

    I started by making a costume and going to a con. Once I met some others, I got better at making costumes, went to more cons, and the cycle continues.

    Ok cool, btw what was your first cosplay costume? I am trying to think of a good one.

    My first was Claus from Last Exile (anime), I've since done other anime outfits, right now I'm working my way through DC villains, Bane is next. I've also been working on a movie accurate Boba Fett Suit for 4 years now... toughest costume I've worked on thus far and I might never finish, although I'd sure like to join the 501st

    I like it, but I assume that will be a very popular costume. Is it wiser to choose a lesser known outfit?

    These were my cosplay efforts a few years ago at MCM London. Can't wait to get dressed up again as Maul next month at Star Wars Celebration.

    Super awesome!

    I have so many I would like to do, but I'm such a stickler for accuracy. Trying to figure out what I could possibly come up with or fit into by NYCC in October.

    Cool! Cosplay has always been my #1 reason for stay fit. Unfortunately I've been wearing flowy stuff the past three years so I've allowed myself to stay squishy.

    One of my goals (once I'm lean enough) is a Punisher outfit. I have the coat, once I'm down to a credible size I will go for the weapons, belts etc. I'm leaning towards the Garth Ennis era.
    I've been told I look mean so I'm part of the way there!

    I used to cosplay as Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica! As someone said above, I stopped because I didn't want to be cosplaying as "Fat Starbuck." But I'm excited to get back into it as I lose weight!

    I know what you mean, I feel the same way. looking forward to being confident enough to do it. First I have to think of one. then prepare, both myself and the costume.
