That's a pretty sweet Seikishidan Sol. I have yet to see anyone cosplay him. I regret to inform the cosplay community that I will not be donning the Holy Order uniform for either ACen or Anime Boston, and since I am going to Japan, you will not be seeing it there either. However, at AniBos 2005, Seikishidan Sol, should I still be so persuaded, is a possibility. Nice costume, but the guy violates one of Skuld's Sacred Rules of Cosplay.
**FANFARE**
Skuld's Sacred Rules of Cosplay
1. DO NOT USE ALUMINIUM FOIL! Even on your swords! Why? Because it's GHETTO! Soooooo ghetto! >.< I don't even stoop down to those levels when I'm desperate!
2. DO NOT USE VISIBLE DUCT TAPE! Structural duct tape, and sticky duct tape, if not seen by the observer is okay. There is one exception to the visible duct tape rule, and that is if some part your costume is supposed to made of duct tape. I point to Mark, who has a duct tape trench coat.
3. If you are male, you should never seriously consider cosplaying Sailor Moon or any female wearing a seifuku. No, really. There was this 80 year old guy with bow legs, white hair, and wrinkly skin walking around Otakon2003. My mind has not yet recovered from the shock. Please, spare our brain cells and our retinal ganglion, and don't BLIND US!
4. Get a wig cap. No really, it looks really stupid if your wig is falling off and showing your real hair. If you have any doubts about your wig staying snug on your head, get a wig cap. It'll look like you're wearing pantyhose on your head, but that's covered up by the wig anyway. O_o;;
5. When you leave your room for the con, always make sure you have the following on your body, or one of your friends does:
a) scissors, b) fabric glue, c) a soldering iron, and d) safety pins.
Okay, just kidding. "a" pokes you and is annoying, and "c" is an inside joke, but make sure you always have fabric glue AND safety pins. You have no clue how handy they are. I cosplayed Legato. (*snerk* Yet another inside joke for those of you who knew what HELL I went through in my four hour stint as Legato Bluesummers at Otakon.) I know. O_o;;
And now, for something completely different.
Hahahaha! *cackles* and so right it is!
Corregated cardboard is, IMO, also a big NO unless you're trying to make it look like corrugated cardboard. Armour ≠ cardboard ><
And congratulations on Japan! Will miss you, but I may be living in Canada next fall anyway, so it doesn't make as big of a differnce. We'll take lots of horrible YnM pics at Shoujocon in your name ^^
Oh right, I forgot corrgated cardboard. O_o;; I've actually seen it done decently, as a matter of fact, but only in small little details. I will add that to my list of cosplay rules. ^_^
