How do you get nots out of your wig? I just got a Miku Hatsune wig but it doesnt have pig tails its down like Luka's and theres a really big not and idk how to get it help. Can you help me?

[fireluxx]

If you ever do a guy cosplay you should be Riku from Kingdom hearts

[ashka5551]

its was funny with me cause i could pull of two characters in an anime that i liked but i had to pick the black haired one cause my hair is black and the other character was blonde and if i put on a wig it didnt stay on cause i have too much hair!! haha it just went puff

[Hikakemi]

The problem I have is my skin color...I'm mix (white and black)....just about EVERY anime character is white...only other character i've seen is a different color would be probably an enemy, a non important character, a guy, or someone I don't like....Damn my non-cosplaying skin color.... v n v

[XanimekingdomX]

@Hikakemi well u dont HAVE to cosplay someone who is mixed just cuz u r, its not all about being like the character its also about having fun^^ iv seen black sailor moons and black sakura harunos at cons befor and they pull the characters off really well^^ so u just have to have fun with it:] and if u want to actualy cosplay someone who is tan/black u can look up videos here on youtube of black anime characters:] i have seen ppl make thos befor and they can really help^^ i wish u luck!~

[Hikakemi]

[wahsohkwiios]

@Hikakemi you can also gradually lighten your skin color with makeup

[Hikakemi]

@wahsohkwiios you mean just your face? is that even possible?

[wahsohkwiios]

@Hikakemi I swear there's tutorials about it if you look, I think Michellephan has a video

[Hikakemi]

@wahsohkwiios does it work for the whole body though or just your face o .o

[wahsohkwiios]

@Hikakemi I'm Pretty sure it could work for your whole body

[Hikakemi]

@wahsohkwiios thank you for telling me ^ ^ i'll be sure to look in to it x3

[animeloverwow90]

Well my virus update is a girl :P lol anyway... Thnx for the upload

[jakahler]

I'm really tall for my age, I'm 6 ft nearly 6ft 1 and Im 14 years old. I''m not fat, but I have a big bone structure. im not muscular but im starting to go to the gym. does anyone know any good cosplays I could pull off. I'm a guy btw :P

[wahsohkwiios]

@jakahler Vash from Trigun, Pretty much any guy you feel like cosplaying cuz essentially their all pretty tall. I only suggested vash because since your young you would be able to keep up his energy level

[Nshadd2455]

Hey there :D

I've been trying to come up with a costume for Russia from Axis Powers Hetalia. (My girlfriend is going as Belarus) She's been going to a-kon for the past few years and this would be my first time. I have no idea where to start out looking or which parts to find first! I've got a horribly low budget and I can scavenge one or two parts of the outfit. Do you have any tips for a first-timer?

[XanimekingdomX]

@Nshadd2455 hmm well try going to a second hand store to find cloths,a lot of times u can find cloths that u can alter, if u cant make it ul have to try and buy it or see if someone u no can make it for u, if u cant do that ull have to find another cosplay to do

[adoptatellytubbie]

i'm tall (5''9 i think) and chubby, but i really want to crossplay (im a girl) from someone from kingdom hearts. but i dont want to look really wrong. Sora was my first choice but he is small in height so im really at a loss would it look horrible seeing as he is small??

[XanimekingdomX]

@adoptatellytubbie well its all up to u if u want to do that cosplay or not, if u want to be acuret to the ch. thats up to u, always remember cosplaying is about fun and isnt always looking just like the person:) and if its ur first cosplay its more about fun:)

[TheFantaFriday]

It's my first cosplay, and I'm gonna do Haruhi.

Is that a good choice? 'Cuz I have no idea.

[XanimekingdomX]

@TheFantaFriday well its always up to u what ur first cosplay is, if your making it try something simple, and haruhi from the host club? u just need some black pants, and blue blazer and add the school symbol on it, and a wig if u need one:)

[TheFantaFriday]

@XanimekingdomX Well, actually I mean Haruhi Suzumiya, from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzimya.

And she wears just a regular school uniform with a pleated skirt. XD

[XanimekingdomX]

@TheFantaFriday oh my baddd lol i no wut that anime is but stil havent watched it, anyway, cosplay is all about fun, es. for ur first time cosplaying, if u can make it or buy it then just go with it:]

[PinkCowgirl925]

i am going as Chibi moon and i cant afford the wig so what do you think about using pink hairspray that can wash out

[XanimekingdomX]

@PinkCowgirl925 thats a good idea, i did that the first time i ever cosplayed, pink hair to lol i was sakura haruno

[PinkCowgirl925]

@XanimekingdomX haha PINK popular hair color of anime children (idk what that just was)

[xXLittleTearXx]

Hey, I was wondering... what do You think of OC? I've never been to a cosplay, but one is coming soon and I was thinking of being... ya know... original? Should I try going as OC or should I simple pick a real character? (Yes, I am a pretty silly beginner :D)

[XanimekingdomX]

@xXLittleTearXx oh iv been meaning to make a vid about oc:) well its really up to u, my opinion is to dress as an actual ch. if u r able to for your first con or cosplay

but its really up to u^^

[Narukouzumakichan]

Did you go to youmacon 2010 as aqua?

[XanimekingdomX]

@Narukouzumakichan yea:)

[gamingkingnumber1]

I think that, when I cosplay, I am either going to go as Light or L! :D

[XanimekingdomX]

@gamingkingnumber1 cool^^

[ashdon112]

can you help me pick im tied between this will be my first cosplay and i dont know who to pick p.s. there both dudes (im buying or geting someone else to make it)

ill give you the link to the pictures in your messages PLZ HELP

[JenovaNinquelas]

Someone's personal opinion is the best. So if anyone gets pissed about it, it's their own damn fault. lol. Anyway, I agree with you pretty much on everything; any newbie can cosplay, but trying to cosplay something like..a summon or something...Or a giant powerful Heartless, not the greatest idea, unless they know what they're doing XD;

[rubyjuly94]

I know a few cosplays for beginers:

-Misty (Pokemon)

-L (Death Note)

-Yotsuba Kowaii (Yotsuba&!)

-Namine (Kingdom Hearts)

[ChikaraMe10]

you sed we should try doing someone we look like. it could be a lot easier but do you know any dark-skinned anime characters? >.<

im cosplaying for the first time and i want to do Suzumiya Haruhi. do you think thats a good choice?

last thing, lol, thx for the tips ^.6

[XanimekingdomX]
