The first official "cosplay" that I wore out was Sora from Digimon. My friends and I decided to all wear cosplays to the last day of High School, so we had several Shinigami from Bleach, myself from Digimon, a few Final Fantasy characters.... It was awesome!
It didn't feel that different, though, because it wasn't uncommon for my friends and I to randomly wear costumes to school, and the fact that we now called it cosplay didn't really change the excitement and fun we had.
Now I remember the first cosplay that I wore to Fanime in stark detail. It was the first big convention that I went to, and I was the last of my friends to make it to the hotel. They jumped on me to get into my Guy Cecil from Tales of the Abyss cosplay, a game from which they were all cosplay from, too.
When I walked into the center I was blown away by the shear number of cosplayers there. Not only were there a few people like me, there were a lot of people like me: nerds who loved cosplay!
I had attended several small conventions prior to that, but this was the first time I had seen cosplayers at that scale and skill level, and it was the first time I was in a group cosplay. ToA was a fairly new game at the time, so we got a lot of attention, especially since we all stayed in character. To say the least, I was undoubtedly hooked since then!

Yaoi Uke-Kun Ooh~ My first cosplay was Ino Yamanaka from Naruto. It was the last few days before the convention, and my mum and I were sewing and going like crazy to finish it. We went to the convention and it was awkward for me.. I felt out of place with my hand made, hand sewn cosplay. I walked around a bit and got a few pictures taken of me which made me super happy but, I had no idea how to pose correctly so I looked a bit weird. xD But luckily I got complimented by people and got pictures of other cosplays at the con too~. Overall, for me, it made me feel excited and happy to be a part of a cosplay from a popular anime. Now, when I go to conventions, I still feel excited and all jittery. C: I now cosplay as well as crossplay from multiple animes. This time I'm buying a Haikyuu cosplay for the first time and it isn't going to be hand made.. Anyways! I hope everyone, who's cosplaying for their first time, has a great time at the conventions and has a wonderful cosplay~ C:
I always get such an awesome feeling from putting on cosplay, regardless of the occasion! It's just so much fun! |

smithers456 Rawr The Kitty I'll tell you if once I do start cos-playing xp Rawr The Kitty, For your first Cosplay pick a character from an Anime, Video Game, or other type of series (DC, Marvel Comics, or even Disney) that you like or Love a lot!! Research your character. Figure out what you need for the outfit. If you need help please let us know. All we need to know is what character that you want to Cosplay and our wonderful Crew can help you out. You can message me directly with your questions about creating a Cosplay outfit and then I can direct you to the appropriate Crew Member to help you out. Also you can start a thread with your question about creating a Cosplay Outfit. Then either other Guild Members or the Crew can help out. The Sub Forums that you can start your thread on with your questions is either the Tutorial Sub Forum or the Cosplay Help Sub Forum. Once your outfit is finished try it out ahead of time to see how well it fits and how easy it is to walk around wearing it. Also if you need help making your outfit ask your friends and family for help. I asked my sister for help in creating the Cape and altering a shirt that I needed for my Syaoran Cosplay outfit. She was a God send and her help in person was very helpful and appreciated, So when you are ready to make your first Cosplay Outfit their are many sources to help you out. Then when you wear the outfit have fun doing so and remember that when you are wearing it you are honoring the character that you are portraying.
My family would laugh at me if I ever told them I was going to cosplay, hahaha. They'd probably forbid me to go o_o'' But thanks for the tip! I'll keep it in mind whenever the chance comes :> |

This is something that I'm very familiar with. Most of the members in my family don't understand my interest in Anime and Cosplay. Since I'm 51 years old they think that it's silly for someone my age to dress up in a Cosplay Outfit. Since I live on my own with my wife Sue I can do what ever I like.
When I cosplay and go to conventions I'm easily accepted into the Anime / Cosplay community just as much as anyone else. Besides watching Anime isn't something new to me. I watched Yu-Gi-Oh!, Sailor Moon, Pokemon, and Dragon Ball Z when they first came out. The Sailor Moon series is now over twenty years old. I'm a very big fan of the series. If you ever have a doubt about that check out my Gaia Profile page. A Chibi of Sailor Mars my favorite Sailor Scout is all over the page. She is my Profile page's Wallpaper.
My wife doesn't like Anime but she realizes that it's good for me to have hobbies so she says it's my thing and leaves it at that. Being a fan of Anime series for over 20 years helped me to become our Guilds Vice Captain. I know a lot about past Anime series and newer ones as well. Most people in the Guild know that I'm a Cosplay Photographer. That skill has grown in leaps and bounds since 2009. My family doesn't understand that hobby either. Some say that I just like to take photos of pretty girls. Yes, I'm a guy but I treat all people with respect including young ladies, grown women,etc. You can see that in my Cosplay Photos. I treat people as people and not as objects. My camera is always on auto so that I can focus on posing and working with Cosplayers. You can tell you family when you decide to start cosplaying that you know a 51 year old guy that cosplays. smile |

princeliy Well, since my very first cosplay outfit was rushed... (it was my first con and i was only notified 3 days before it actually started) I think I'm going to talk about my actual first outfit that tried on. I believe I was cosplaying Kaneki ken! It was kind of my own design of him, he was in midway "transformatio n" to shironeki and honestly I felt so accomplished! The wig was the best part to me, seeing as how i spent two days on it. (the two days were right before the con!) I felt great and like I had the best cosplay lmao I still feel like it was a good idea and plan to revamp it someday, properly dying half the wig instead of using a last-minute spray from the halloween store like i did. I also look back on it and feel the makeup was terrible! But then again, i was just a beginner! here are some pictures of the ol' thing! img 1img 2
Thanks for sharing your story. I currently have three Cosplay Outfits. 1. My Original Star Trek series one (Created it many years ago), 2. My Celtic Cleric Dungeon and Dragons Outfit (I Altered a Halloween Costume for that one), and 3. Syaoran (It took a year to gather everthing needed for the outfit plus I needed help making a cape and special shirt - My sister came to my rescue). My Avi is currently dressed up as Syaoran. You can see photos of all three outfits on the "My Cosplays" Gallery on my Deviant Art page. Their is a link to my page in my Gaia signature. |
