How to cosplay anime characters before going to Comic Con?

I believe that many friends will be very envious when they see the various beautiful scene photos and feature films of COSER, and secretly think that it would be great if they could also do cosplay. With the increasing popularity of animation culture, investment in this field has gradually increased, and various related industrial activities have been carried out more and more. In recent years, the more frequent domestic new works and comic exhibitions are held, which is the most intuitive reflection. The Comic Expo not only gives everyone an excellent opportunity to communicate with fellow fans, but also provides a good stage for friends who have ideas for cosplay.

But it is a pity that except for special circumstances such as invitations from organizers or exhibitors, at most comics exhibitions, the various cosplayers are basically doing solo activities. With their own love and hard work, And a lot of other efforts to produce this fully restored cos.

To present a cosplay at a comic exhibition, you probably need to go through a few steps. First of all, before the exhibition, we usually have one or more works or characters that we like very much. Then, based on our own conditions, we find the most suitable one and decide which character will eventually be displayed at the exhibition. Let me say a few more words here. The conditions here include one's appearance, body shape, understanding of the character, the level of sacrifice one can pay, and even love for the character. For example, if you love a certain character very much, but your performance doesn't allow it, but you love that character so much that you can't do anything except him (her, it), then you can choose to spend time or spend a lot of money. , to lose weight, gain weight, hire a special-effects makeup artist, or even have plastic surgery. The extent to which you can achieve this depends on "the price you can pay." Therefore, this is a comprehensive decision-making process.

After deciding on the character you want to play, the next step is to purchase equipment, such as clothing, wigs, accessories, and props. You can either purchase them, make them yourself, or buy them and modify them. Then, after the fitting is completed and ready to go, you need to contact the makeup artist (father) and logistics (if possible, you can also make an appointment for photography that can be taken that day). You can enjoy the playground the same day you arrive at the exhibition hall.
