I Play. You Play. We All Play For Cosplay (Part 2)

Hello Internet.

Me again continuing my post on the magic of cosplay.  This one will be a post on future characters I'm looking at going as for future conventions so I'm open to suggestions at to what you think i should go as.

First on the agenda is a character that nearly everyone who had a half decent childhood.

This is a fairly simple costume to put together and is widely known to a lot of people. Its easy to find a costume online but finding a good quality costume is easier said than done and sometimes making the costume can be the better alternative. It can be done with a standard karate gi and a ton fuck of orange and blue dye.  I have also looked at getting the movie costume from that pile of shit that Fox made but the costumes online all appear to be over the £100 mark which i think is a bit much for something i can cook up at home with a bit of hard work.

I am also looking at making a battle damaged Goku costume. This would be more fun to make and saves having to find a top half to the costume and can be done with a blue shirt and the right pair of orange pants.


The Second costume I'm looking at doing is the Green Arrow costume from Arrow.

This costume is high on my to do list and is what I'm looking at going as for MCM in May or October in 2015. Ive seen a few versions of the costume online and they all seem to be good quality and can be tailor made to fit me which as a larger gentleman can be better than ordering set sizes because its hard to judge if the length will be wide enough to hide my 6 flab.

I went as a makeshift Green Arrow for my 21st and reworked a robin hood costume and added a bit of green face paint over my eyes so i got the look of the first series but with the introduction of the face mask in the second and third series. The item comes can be done for fairly cheap and adding a bow and a arrow in a quiver (No not actual arrows) will complete the look. 

One of the other costumes I'm looking at going at going as is a slightly hipster Deadpool which doesn't appear to be hard to do at all. I already have a mask and the jacket and the only thing i would need to get is the pants and boots. The belts and ammo packs will be easy to pick up on Ebay and adds a different twist to convention favourite that is seen everywhere you look. 

Last but not least is Dante from the reboot of the Devil May Cry series. I was looking at going for the classic look Dante but the reboot game DMC was surprisingly good and left a good impression on me and think its something that can be done for fairly cheap after the jacket has been bought. The main concern would be the Rebellion sword and the new Ebony and Ivory guns that have a more curved design to the handles. This is one i have not seen that often at conventions and is one i am really looking at doing. 

So there you go guys. There is my list of possible cosplays for the future and i would love to hear your suggestions as to what i should go as for Comic Con next year. Comment below you sexy fuckers.
