Weekly Cosplay Post: Number 2
Virtualgirl | 5:12 PM on 08.26.2007 33 comments


If you missed last weeks blog, here is a little recap of why I decided to do a weekly cosplay post and what the posts are like:

"I did not really understand cosplay before I got in to it, and I know that a ton of people think that it can not be done very well in any situation, but the more I look around the web, the more I am completely blown away by the craftsmanship and dedication that some people put in to their work, and I figured I would share it with you guys! Over the last few days I have put together a library of almost 300 images of amazing quality cosplay, and am going to post 10 or so costumes a week for you guys to see.

I picked the photos based on costume primarily, and also image quality and such. Its always nice to have a great photo in a great location to compliment an amazing costume.

If you guys have any requests for specific characters you would like to see the next week, let me know that as well! I will scour the internets to find the best cosplayers from that game or character possible! Also, if you like a specific cosplayer, and would like to see more of that one, let me know and I will dig some more!"


So here we go, week #2:

1) Rogue
X-men






2) Princess Zelda (several cosplayers)
Zelda Series









3) Yuna (several cosplayers)
Final Fantasy X-2











4) Ulala
Space Channel 5




5) Rosa & Rydia (Amano Designs)
Final Fantasy IV






6) Vash
Trigun





7) Ariel(several cosplayers)
The Little Mermaid






8) Catwoman (several Cosplayers)
DC Comics






9) Princess Peach (and Daisy)
Mario Series






10) Garnet (wedding and regular dress)
Final Fantasy IX






Hope you enjoyed! I will have more a week from today!

I'm a fairly introverted person, I can't even really go and speak to someone in a pub without being absolutely terrified, so the very concept of dressing up as a fantasy character, in public and then putting those pictures on the internet absolutely boggles my mind. Obviously cosplayers are more naturally extroverted but for what reason did you think 'I'm gonna dress up as Lara Croft' and what exactly do you get from doing this? (I know that sounds like I'm criticising but II'm not it's just genuine curiosity)

You are the same as me comrade. Maybe if I spent a fair amount of money and had a decent costume that covered my face (Like the Clone Commando one I want so much) then maybe I could do it. But my face would never be related to the costume in any way. That would kill me.

Wow, these people are amazing. Do want Rogue. And I believe it's my new life goal to marry a Little Mermaid cosplayer. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to take a shower with a lot of soap.

I'll throw myself into this fire. This is me last year in costume at work on Halloween as The Mighty Blue Justice. SPOON! And although I had a mask provided for me by Troma Studios, I did get to dress up as Toxie, The Toxic Avenger for a public appearance and DVD signing with Lloyd Kaufmann two years ago.

@Comrade: Honestly, that is hard to answer! I am a very extroverted person, that is for sure. I guess I am just one of those people who gets sick of reality uber fast. I always wish that my life was more like those in a comic or a video game, and I guess cosplaying takes that thought to the next level. It lets me escape being plain old Meagan and lets me be a kick ass chick or a super hero. From a artistic standpoint, the photography, modeling and costume design is fun too!!!

Good stuff, despite my calling cosplayers strange I actually have nothing but admiration for you guys, if only for the sheer balls it must take to do it.

Also, BahamutZero has a awakened a long buried desire of mine to see a beautiful woman dressed as a giant insect. If you can find something like that for next week you will have my eternal gratitude.

Meagan, you are neither plain or old. ;)

Also, with the exception of the bloke with the shooter, everyone up there is welcome to ride the Banjercoaster for free anytime they want.


...ah, who am I kidding, the bloke too.

Great post as ever, keep them coming cos it's all being stored in the wank bank till required.

@ pheonix... do you have any scans? I can't find a single manga scan that shows dark hair.

@ topic... These are awesome. It's amazing what you can do when you have the proper people playing feasible characters. The Ulala and Yuna are awesome.
