Things To Consider Before Making Your Cosplay

As nerds we go for characters and costumes that we are passionate about, but stop in the middle of our craft when things get hard. All confused not remembering why we even started that build. Well let me give you some tips that might help you !!

Am I going to compete in this costume ? 

First thing I usually consider thinking is if I am going to compete with this costume or not. In this case, you’ll have to mentally prepare yourself to be patient and invest some time into your build. I know con crunching is a thing for a lot of us, but when it comes to competition you have to look at your project differently.

Am I making it for a photoshoot?

For photoshoots you can either make or buy your costume, It truly doesn’t matter. Wearing corsets and heavy armors might prevent you from doing certain poses, so that’s something to keep in mind.

Am I going be judging and paneling wearing my costume?

Cosplay judging and paneling is like a full time job where the conventions may even pay you for. In this case it’s better to keep the costume simple, and avoid wearing contacts because there’s a chance of getting eye infection if you are not being careful.

Am I going to see my friends in that costume?

Let’s be honest, cosplaying is more fun when we are seeing friends and planning for group meets wearing them. You can go big or small, it’s up to you. Just don’t forget to stay hydrated and enjoy the event
