Suikoden Cosplay

Gaius Abruscato · Posted: Sun Jul 04, 2004 11:01 am Post subject: Suikoden Cosplay

Just thought I'd ask, and find out if I'm the only one crazy enough to do this kind of thing, but does anyone else here ever make/wear cosplay costumes? Suikoden is great for people who have the sewing/cosplay hobby because there are so many excellent costumes to choose from, and some are easy (great for starting out), some are really hard (a challenge for hard-core costumeing fans).

Has anyone here made or worn a Suikoden costume? Have any planned for the near future? Any you'd like to do, or wish you could do?

I myself have only done a few of the more recognizable ones. I made a few simple costumes last minute for a convention and was surprised and delighted that so many people knew who all the costumes were! I made a Hero1, Hero2, and Highland Jowy outfit. Then for another con long before that one I made/wore a Millie outfit. (she was the most fun to cosplay as.) I, of course, even made a plushie Bonaparte that's pretty big and I thought it was adorable! But I got a lot of comments and questions asking what on earth it was. *laugh* So what if no one else knows that Bonaparte is the cutest animal in the world!

As for future cosplays from Suikoden, I don't have any planned, really. I eventually want to make Jillia's dress, just because I think it's absolutely beautiful. If I had armor-making skills, I'd make a chris outfit, but I really can't. And if I ever find 2 other people who can sing and who like Suikoden, I want to make the Alma Kinan girls' outfits and sing a jazzy a-capella arrangement of 'currents' for a cosplay. It may never happen, but gosh it would be cute!

I only just started going to anime conventions last year...
and the whole reason was.......... my friend begged me to cosplay a Suikoden character... specifically Gremio

I figured his outfit was easy enough so I said fine
1 week right before the convention my friend calls and says to me that their other friend -who was originally going as Jowy- ended up couldn't go and they wanted me to switch from Gremio to Jowy
._. unprepared for the news and being busy in the day I struggled to make Highland Jowy's jacket.

it came out pretty good but the fact that I'm short, have glasses and have black hair Xo no one recognized me when I went of wandering by myself without my friend (who was cosplaying Riou) -which I did alot since I've never been to a convention and my friend has but didn't properly 'show me around' =.=

well anyway...I'll be going as Gremio AND Highland Jowy [again] this year and I don't particularily care if no one recognizes me cause bleh...I didn't work on the outfits much anyway.

I hope to make a good Flame Champion costume next..I've bought all of the cloth needed already...just gotta sew it together x .x

I'm thinking of being Lorelai or Nanami next year for Halloween. (I like easy costumes...X_X)

Sarah's outfit is cool, but it would be an absolute nightmare to put on and take off. (As far as I can tell, it's more than 3 layers! X_X)

if I'd ever cossplay as a suikoden chara I think I'll go the leghth and do a traditonal Jowy. making his wacking stick (so what..that is what it is) is gonna be hard.

I remember I found this japanese website that was chock full of these real good suikoden cosplays. I never found it again due to the fact I didn't bookmark it.
I've been thinking of cosplaying Suikoden, so I decided to look up the whole character list of girls with short black hair. There's the Yu-sisters of Alma Kinan, but my hair's even shorter than that. Nanami but her hair's thicker. Eilie but she has such a fine body and I don't wanna embarrass myself -o-. Then there's Mikilotov (but he's a guy -_-), and bleh. I think I'll just give up and just wear a cute dress or something I can find. But I don't have any dresses....

I'm aiming for Luc next year. (If my hair hasn't grown too long yet. NO WAY I'm gonna go and cut it again) There's the matter of making the circlet (which most likely will cost me at least $20 or so) and thedecision of doing the staff or not. I've got a friend aiming for Sasarai (good luck with the hat!! XD) and if I go as Luc... heh... well... *glomps to no end* :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

On the other hand, maybe I AM crazy enough to cut it to that length again. (It's the right length now) And hmm... that circlet's gonna cost me A LOT, same with having the costume made...that and where am I gonna be able to make his... erm... whadaya call the stick thing?
Oh yeah.
Gale Staff.
Or mebbe I should use Luc from 3. But the material looks so expensive...and WHERE AM I GONNA FIND BROWN COMBAT BOOTS?! *rambles on and on and on.......*

(Am I crazy...or what? :wink: )

I've wanted and planned to cosplay as McDohl a few times, I just can't find a tailor to make me a costume.... :cry:

Conventions I attend? Well the only one we have here in NZ, Armageddon. It's crappy and small, but it's all we've got.

i would only be able to dress up as a karayan from S3 or Hauser...but if i had the chance, I would do Geddoe's costume...
I think it would quite humorous to see someone dress up as Sgt. Joe or one of the other ducks...That would probably be the most difficult, compared to the kobolds and the lizards...It probably wouldn't even be worth it unless you bought a really expensive lizard outfit from a halloween store.
