Welcome to Gaia! ::

Washington right?
Well its always easier to just think of your favorite animes then pick 1 or 2 characters the narrow it down, by reasons like A can I act like this person (if u do that sorta thing) B can I make this or buy it? C are their zillions of other people cosplay this character
Hope this helped

Here is another tip for you: After thinking about what characters that you would like to cosplay you need to think about how to create the outfit.

1. Make an outfit by hand. Experienced Cosplayers take the time to make a new outfit by scratch. They usually use a good drawing of the character and buy the fabric, items, etc needed to complete the outfit. Some of the outfits are incredible.

2. Buy a completed outfit. Their are many sites online where you can buy an outfit. Sometimes doing that can be expensive but usually the outfit will be accurate and looks nice. Also their are many Cosplayers that sell gently used outfits that they have made which is usually a cheaper way to go.

I hope that this helps you. smile
