AWKWARD ZOMBIE

True, but sometimes the true core of cosplay is to find the best items for the least amount of cheddar.

Take my Link costume for example (I don't want to clutter the thread with pics i already posted),

All of the materials to make the outfit and shield were from Walmart. (and somehow ppl are surprised to hear it).

Green undershirt shirt 3 pack (to make the tunic and hat) $5.00

White undershirt $3.00

Stretchy Yoga pants $10.00

Boots (uggs knockoff) $15.00

Shoulder Belt (already owned the waist belt) $5.00

Hard foam $5.00

Gray duct tape $5.00

Plastic sword $9.00

Total cost: $57.00

So for about the price of a new copy of Twilight Princess, I made a Link cosplay.

To make cosplays on a budget, you really have to look at the person you're cosplaying as and think, "what article of clothing most resembles their outfit?"

After that, it is much easier to start with that article of clothing as a base and add the variations to it until it resembles the subject's outfit.

For example, Link's tunic looks a lot like a shirt, so I got a shirt and added a wide skirt like base.

So this is a video but this Dark Link is so good.

Also there were some people at Youmacon dressed like that Wolf Link. One was Wolf Link and one was Amaterasu the wolf from Okami. The arms are longer so they can reach the ground and you don't have to be hunched over so much.

Oh my gosh.

That is simply amazing.




Also it's amusing to see both Dark Links side by side, with their height difference.

wow. I think there is a Dark Zelda in some LoZ game (my knowledge of the 2D Zeldas is pitiful at times).

But I really don't think there is a Red Zelda.

Still, amazing. I just sent it to a friend.

Yoko Cosplay done right:

*ahem*

*adjusts pants*

The breasts aren't nearly large enough

Why is there a hot glue gun on the counter? :V

Pretty sure this could fit here..

My friends and I were going to the anime con San Japan as the Spirited Away group. (I'm the awesome face.)

That's a pretty impressive Altair, not gonna lie.

Pfft.
Okay, I was rustled when Crystal was replaced with Lyra, but the cosplay is good:

I swear I go to school with her :I

Don't you hate when you know someone with a million people that look like them.

Yeah, I can't help but feeling I've seen her somewhere before

Lyra (as in Lyrasen) looks like my cousin.
