The only criticism I have is that the third ones expression is a bit dead.

Other than that they're fantastic - I wonder if they made or bought most there stuff hmmmmm... (In case you're wondering why, I'm considering doing some steampunk costumes, but the gear is really expensive and I like to make my own stuff)

You can get a lot on etsy! Not sure how expensive it is there, though.

Hmm, ranges from pretty cheap to a helluva lot - still wanna make it myself, then I can make it and sell it to people for a lot of money too!

Steampunk is Victorian-esque clothing, with a technological and explorer vibe to it, like you see above. It's not correct to the time, of course, but it's pretty cool - and expensive.

It's sort of like the Fantasy games which mixes the past and present, like Final Fantasy IX.

Cosplay is a huge umbrella for all of it. Steampunk is a type of cosplay. It stands for "Costume Play" (yes, it did start in Japan, and it's what they call it).

However, in the West we pretty much specifically use 'cosplay' to describe a particular character costume rather than all of it. We separate Cosplay and Steampunk. And it can be any character; comic book, video game, anime, cartoon, film, tv drama, whatever. In the West, Comic Book and Game are the most category cosplayed, followed by anime. Film and tv dramas are generally avoided as they're more difficult to pull off - you have to look similar to the actor. However, certain characters from films have such outlandish outfits that you don't need to look like the actor to pull it off.

Speaking of Final Fantasy, Look at what I got at GameStop friday for $8!Total mis-price because it wasn't even opened yet.And yes I'm a Final Fantasy freak.So Final Fantasy costumes count as Cosplay? OMG I want one!

Final Fantasy is one of the biggest cosplayed series. I've been WallMarket/Femme Cloud (the Don Kanoji bit from FFVII), Cosmos from Final Fantasy Dissidia and Quina Quen from 9. We were a group ;p

Exactly, what did you get from GameStop?

I've got the tome version of the Guide Book for that game.

Even though I don't play it much, I will never sell it - it's far too pretty.

I'm like that with most FFs. I don't really like the game play - I'm not one for turn based systems - but they're mine and you can't have them because they're pretty.

I didn't like 12 much... I hated Vaan and Penelo as characters, so... yeah. I'm giving 13 a try now though.

I agree actually. Penolo is to slow and not very strong. Are they the only two that we get? I know that there are like 15 or so espers but eh. I know FFXIII was actually very cool but a let down on the story and you could only move basically on set paths and the battles were TO turn based and way to complicated.Cosplay sounds awesome do you know of any websites i can get anything FF off of?

Nixie-the-Pixie |

FFXII characters; Vaan, Penelo, Fran, Balthier, Basch and Ashe. I liked Fran, Balthier and Basch, the others... meh.

Do you mean, good artwork to base them off? Or good cosplay sites to buy them from?

Ebay is pretty good for cosplays; it's a lot better quality than it was. Another site which I've heard good things from is; http://www.cosplaytree.com

Most cosplay sites now offer a service where you can go "can you make this for me" and they'll give you a quote for it.

Avoid Hello Cosplay and Cosplay Magic at all costs.

points | Submitted 2012-05-08 10:49:12

TO avoid Hello Cosplay and Cosplay Magic? Stupidly high prices, high shipping costs, low quality and really unreliable.

As to characters; Vaan was just irritating, Penelo was pathetic, I didn't like Ashe's character. Balthier is Captain Jack Sparrow's and James Bond's love child, Fran was... Just Fran and Basch... Basch was awesome too. He had a better story behind him than dumb and dumber combined, anyway.

It's because a lot of FF stuff is leather, and anything remotely leather like is pricey.

And thank you. I have yet to meet someone who does not agree that he's the perfect combination of the two.

She's done that thing where (new/inexperienced) models think they're bringing a lot of intensity in their face, when actually they're just bringing it to their lips - notice how they're rather tense/pouty

A lot of people say that to her in critiques. Her earliest cyberpunk goth stuff had the most expression, I think.

I think so, too. It's because the style accentuates a woman's natural femininity (say that 5 times fast!) without being vulgar.
