    30 KB /cgl/'s Ultimate Guide to Closet and Beginner Mode Cosplay Anonymous 05/31/11(Tue)18:38 No.4534132  
    Here's the deal: fill this thread with ideas for closet cosplay (or cosplay easily modified from common clothes), and I will host it for future posts of "lol i have a con tomorrow, what can i cosplay as?"

    A few rules:
    - Above all else, stick to characters who wear outfits with distinct touches that make the character /easily recognizable/. "Cillian Murphy in Inception" is indistinguishable from a million other dark-haired characters wearing suits.
    - Nothing where the clothes might be easy, but the wig, props, or accessories would be difficult for a beginner, like Marge Simpson.
    - Avoid alternate, obscure, or artbook-only outfits like "that one time Amuro Ray wore a Speedo in the limited-release artbook only given to the first 100 fans to buy the DVD of Char's Counterattack." Again: these cosplays should be recognizable.
    - Avoid costumes that are only easy because someone is naked, like sexy-no-jutsu Naruto.

    Use your best judgement about whether the character or characters you're nominating fit the rules above, and good luck.

    This thread could be gold if the closet cosplays are still kept neat and accurate.

    Closet cosplays are so easy, there should be no reason why - even if someone is a beginner - they can't make it fabulous.

    I knew someone would say this...and I'm going to vote no. Unless you're attempting Harry from SH1 or some of his variants in SHSM the rest of the characters have pretty special outfits and people always omit the details because they do closet cosplays or alter things badly. I mean really, the fandom is bastardized enough by people who tea-dye their skanky halloween special nurse dresses and then smear bright red blood all over their paper mache masks. Henry Townshend is one I could envision, though I know that finding a shirt with the right pockets is a bitch...I guess one could make a bad version that is recognizable though, so maybe my wall of text is kind of pointless.

    Many of the Venture Bros characters... except that I've heard Dean's vest is difficult to find/replicate without making it from scratch.

    Brock Samson (assuming you have his physique), Hank Venture, Triana Orpheus... all are fairly easy to put together with relatively normal clothing. Even Dr Girlfriend's pink outfit is fairly easy to find.

    Did someone say closet cosplay?

    As one of the no skill, ultra noob cosplayers here. I got a few outfits I did which have gotten me a good amount of positive buzz at the cons I've been to.

    http://www.acparadise.com/ace/display.php?a=72373&t=costumes

    Koichi Shidou (Highschool of the Dead) - Proper wig, glasses, black suit. Should have proper props such as a box of condoms and other HotD cosplayers with you.

    Niijima (Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple) - White button up, wig, elf ears and fangs

    Jeego (Ghost Trick) - Black Fedora, matching suit, gray shirt, red tie and blue krylon facepaint.

    Teddie (Persona 4) - Original version was a white button up, wig and a flower pin.

    Rin Tohsaka (Fate/Stay Night) Painted red turtleneck and miniskirt.

    Regardless of what you think of the fandom, it's dirt easy to pull off John, Dave, Rose, or Jade from your closet. Most work you would have to do would be to iron on a logo if you don't have the official shirts, and you often don't even need a wig.

    I closet-cosplayed Shin from Dorohedoro without his mask a while back, and while I only got one person recognizing me, it cost me like $10 total, about zero effort since I didn't put a few of the costume details in, and since I was splattered all over with fake blood, I got more attention than with any of my legit effort-required costumes at that convention. And Shin wears glasses.

    Minami-ke. The characters have a ton of casual clothing, the uniforms for Chiaki's and Haruka's schools can be thrifted, I AM BOSS shirts can be made in minutes (just get iron-on letters at a fabric store, or paint them on). There are enough characters that you should be able to find someone with hair that matches yours.

    Hell, the characters have enough casual clothes that you can just wear anything vaguely similar from your closet and no one will know.

    Some of the Characters from FLCL are really easy.

    Naota is really just a blue hoody, grey shorts, and a hat of you're choosing. Mamimi is pretty much a typical school girl uniform and a pink wig.

    Also, Harry Potter characters can be dead simple. The only thing that would be somewhat hard to get would be the robe, but Hermione doesn't wear it as often as she used to.

    her costume is essentially:
    Knee High white socks
    Grey skirt
    White Dress shirt
    Red and Gold tie

    All you would need to do is curl your hair and naturally be hot.

    If I ever saw someone cosplay Eric Sparrow, I wouldn't know weither to give him a high five, or kick him in the nuts.

    Allen Walker from DGM? Not uniform, but average errday clothes.

    >Vest
    >white button down shirt
    >white gloves (if you're feeling creative, paint a longer glove red and you've got his left arm)
    >white wig
    >steal a snitch from a harry potter costume and add a tail

    And this is honestly one of my own favorite closet cosplays
