Hello my lovely followers. I’m looking for some imput/advice.
I’ve never cosplayed before. But NYCC’s coming up, and I have a Sunday ticket, and I’ve been playing with the idea of going as Rubeus or Crystal!Ami.
But I also know that I wouldn’t be able to get all of the details right for Rubeus. The boots and earrings are what really come to mind, but even the outfit probably would be an approximation. Plus, I don’t have contacts, so my Rubeus would wear glasses.
The glasses thing makes me want to go with Crystal!Ami, but that would either involve finding a good wig (which would probably be the most expensive option) or dying my hair (and I’m terrified that if I went with dye it wouldn’t wash out in time for work Monday, and I’m not sure this place would appreciate a blue haired intern) (Does anyone know how well hair chalk washes out and if it works on all hair colors?). But then again I know where to find a sailor uniform collar and could make the bow easily, so I’d just have to find a sweater (easy) and a skirt (probably doable), and then a wig maybe.
And I’m just not really sure if either is a good idea. I’ve gone to NYCC the past few years, and I’ve always been a little disappointed that I didn’t dress up (especially since everyone asks about it). But I also don’t want to do a bad job I’ll regret, and I lack the money/skill to do anything particularly involved/good.
Do any of you have thoughts?
