Note: just be careful when choosing your uniform, as some uniforms may offend certain people when going to the shops before or after the convention.

Cosplaying at a military convention
This kind of cosplay usually displays the uniform(s) and gear wore by certain soldiers during a certain time, so all that is seen is perfectly crafted replicas or the real thing. Usually no specific characters are portrayed here.
Note: just be careful when choosing your uniform, as some uniforms may offend certain people when going to the shops before or after the convention.

What got me into cosplaying
It all started for me in 2006. I met a few new people and got me first few anime on CD, namely
*Rurouni Kenshin
*Neon Genisis Evangelion
*X
I immediately started watching Rurouni Kenshin and I liked the Feudal clothing, so I desided to have a japanese / chinese party for my 16th birthday. Back then I did not know how to make the hakama and gi, so looking back my mom (yes, she made my first costume) did a great job with the limited information I gave her.
A month or 3 later, we finally got our hands on Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. We watched it (I ended up watching the movie 3 times in a row on the same day) and we decided to do a Final Fantasy themed Halloween party (seeing as some of my friends' parents did not like the Halloween themed idea), and doing weird things like modifying 2 swords to make a dual bladed sword, spray painting shoulder-pads, cutting my hair in the right style of the character and wearing fake leather when it is boiling hot outside, we managed to pull it off! So my very first decent cosplay was Kadaj.
So even sweating and walking around with shoes 2 sizes too big, it felt awesome. So awesome I wanted to do it forever and ever.

How to cosplay: Abarai Renji (Bleach)
So you saw the walking tattoo in Bleach with the fiery attitude and you want to cosplay him. Here is my version:
The costume part:
Following the post 'making the shinigami uniform' make all the pieces. Secondly remember the headband (or the funky sunglasses he wears).
For the tattoos:
The tattoos in the neck and forehead works better with eyeliner, but you can use body paint, especially if you are going bare-chest.
Now the hair: So either you get a wig and style it, or like me, cut your hair and spray it with flower spray, then paint the detail on the face with red body paint (or in my case I used fabric paint)
For the weapon, This Zabimaru was made of wood, painted with acrylic, and wrapped bias binding around the handle.
That concludes the cosplay set-up.
For the cosplay:
Remember: You are a red head, with a lot of deep feelings, yet tempered.

How to cosplay: Himura Kenshin (Rurouni Kenshin)
So you chose the wanderer, that you did! Here is my version:
Looking at the 'Shinigami Uniform tutorial' I made (look at my older posts) Instead of using Black for the hakama, use white, and instead of making a black Gi, make a Magenta one. This gi I have was a brilliant magenta, until it got washed (and I'm not sure if I can say fortunately or unfortunately, because now the gi looks super old).
He wears brown socks, instead of white. As for the sword: If you can get a reverse blade, that will be awesome, but for photos, I used one of my show/replica -katana.
For the wig part, find a wig with a similar colour and style. Unfortunately I used my own hair and sprayed it with flower spray (Signal Red), so I cannot really help with wig-tips.
For the final part: Remember the scar on the right cheek! Without it, you will only look like a Chizuru (with wrong hair colour) or a hippie-samurai
Well that concludes the making part.
Cosplaying:
Friendly, you can say 'oro' when surprised or confused or when you feel it will fit in. Adjusting how he talks will be fun too, for instance: Instead of saying: 'You did a great job', say you did a great job, that you did'.

How to cosplay: Unohana Retsu (Bleach)
Decided to cosplay that friendly but scary 4th squad captain? Look at what I did.
Following my posts of:
Here is the cosplaying part:
Remember this character is most of the time friendly (and a bit scary when asking a favor). Other than that, she is a very easy character.
- Making the Shinigami uniform
- Making the Captain's haori
- Split the hair in 2 at the nape of neck
- At the back, the part in your right hand, drape it over your left shoulder. The part in your left hand, drape over your right shoulder.
- Now you can work from the front. split a part from your right part and left part (end up with 3 parts)
- Do a normal braid, and tie it up.
- There you have it. Your wig is done.
Here is the cosplaying part:
Remember this character is most of the time friendly (and a bit scary when asking a favor). Other than that, she is a very easy character.
So why share all my secrets?
You all are probably wondering why I'm sharing all the knowledge I have gained from cosplaying. Well, it's kind of simple: Cosplay for me is my life. Without it, I'm grumpy, and sad and I feel useless. With it, I can carry on with my day-to-day existence.
One of my biggest dreams is to one day own my very own costume-shop, focusing more on the anime/manga side. But since I started offering my services to those who want costumes, business has been a bit dead. So instead of taking all the knowledge with me to the grave, I have decided to post it here.
If I can't make a living with my skills and knowledge and creativity, I might as well share it for free.

How to cosplay: Kuchiki Rukia (Bleach)
So you like Rukia and you want to cosplay her? Well here is how I did mine.
So for the making part, let us start at the top:
For the wig, I bought a wig with a slight curl (curling right in the same spots). The only thing I had to do was cut it a bit shorter at the back, Make the long hair piece and gelling everything in place.
Secondly I made my shinigami uniform (look in my blog for that tutorial) and using flip-flops and socks I had my shoes.
Lastly I made the Sode no shirayuki sword (using a bokken, spraying it white and attaching a white ribbon at the handle) and did her famous 1st episode sketch.
This concludes the making of Rukia
As for the convention cosplaying part:
Be very formal and when having a Byakuya (hopefully a friend) there, you can annoy him by calling him Nii-sama.

How to cosplay: Soul Eater Evans (Soul Eater)
So you saw the 'cool' scythe and you want to cosplay him.... Well here is how I did my cosplay of him.
So let us start at the top. The wig I used looked something like this:
I used gel to get it to lie in the right position and then took Flower Spray (silver and white) to give it the Soul Eater look.
For the headband I bought a white headband and using fabric paint, painted it the right colour.
The two badges on the headband were made with felt. The circle with the squiggly that looks like a mouth was drawn on by a red and black permanent marker. The blue badge that says SOUL was also done with a black marker. After doing that I decided the black did not look good enough, so with a needle and thread, I went over the black (something like embroidery).
Now... the teeth... I had a bit of trouble with that. Go to costume shop and have a look at all their available teeth. Back when I needed a pair, they only had it in silver teeth with black gums. So I used Enamel (Humbrol) to paint the teeth white and the gums pink.
Secondly, let us look at the clothing. I used this pattern:
Instead of cutting the front piece (of the shirt) on the fold, add extra fabric for the buttons in front, and cut 2 pieces (black) Sleeves are yellow. Remember to add the yellow soul on the chest and the back (I appliqued mine). The yellow rib-trim needed a black stripe so I added it with a fabric marker (or the sleeves and neck) Remember to add the pockets to the jacket.
The pants (also same pattern), I used a rusty coloured fabric. I had to cut a bit off on the sides to make it a bit tighter fitting. Be careful though not to cut too much or the pants will rip and you will have trouble walking.
Thirdly... the shoes. You need that cool shoes... I used these kind of shoes:
Fortunately I used a cheap make and it didn't have a name printed on the back. Using fabric paint, I firstly painted all the black parts that needed to be yellow with white (It was only the heel for me) . After everything was well covered, I took my yellow and black(acrylic / craft paint this time) and went crazy painting all the needed parts in the right colours.
This concludes the Soul Eater Evans' cosplay in the making.
As for the acting at the convention, well... remember to act cool. Hands in your pockets, the teethy grin and the smooth moving. And thanks to the fake teeth the occasional drool will happen to make your Soul even closer to the real thing.

Additional Info from me:
- I crossplayed so I had to do the chest-binding. Remember when doing chest-binding, do not put the bandages too tight or it will hurt you and ruin your act.
- This one got me a 2nd prize at UPCON 2010

Not entering the cosplay competition at a convention
Some will say you are a yellow belly and a coward, but it is not true. For the first time in years of attending conventions and entering the cosplay competition, I did not enter and it felt good.
When you've seen more than 10 competitions and start to feel that the judges of the current competition (s) cannot do the job, don't enter. Nobody wants to listen to someone complaining, but when lots of cosplayers start to only cosplay for the fun of it and avoid competitions, organizers start realizing what is going on and change comes. If you really want to complain, you can, (and I did last year) but nothing really change.
This conventions was the least stressful convention I have ever had.
Feel free to post your comments if you agree or beg to differ.

What kind of paint to use?
So you need to paint an accessory or costume or even your body for a cosplay... and you do not know what to use? Well here is some tips and advice from my side.
Humbrol Enamel
I'll add when I have more knowledge. Feel free to share experience and advice (Paint wise)
Humbrol Enamel
- Very wide variety in colours and a choice between gloss, matt, satin, metallic. metalcote and clear.
- Works great when painting props made from cooldrink cans or metal
- Also works on some plastic
- Works on Papermache
- Needs to clean brush with thinners
- Remember to follow instructions on the container.
- Approximately R30 when I bought my new containers.
- Small quantity and easy to store
- Remember: Humbrol is focused on hobbies.
- If the waiting time has passed and the item is still very sticky, the paint will not work, so you will need to clean the item with thinners and use another kind of paint
- Not to be used on fabric
- might vary in price and quantity
- Not necessarily in the right colour.
- Otherwise: it works exactly the same
- Available in all shapes and sizes, from pens, to tubes, to buckets and bottles
- Extender / Clear can be painted on first to 'seal' the fabric so that not so much colour will be needed.
- Works great when working on newspaper or smooth surface. Just remember to move the newspaper or the newspaper might get stuck to the wet surface and dry, sticking to it.
- Works on most fabrics
- Note: When painting on coloured fabrics, the colour you are painting may come out different, if you did not apply white in a few layers before putting on the colour
- Can also be used on the face
- Works well on papermache
- Use water to clean your brush
- Works on rubber
- works on papermache
- Use water to clean your brush
- Works on basically anything, except face, glass and metal / cooldrink cans.
- Works on Nails, plastic and basically anything.
- Just use nail polish remover / acid tone to remove it.
- Not to be used on fabric
- stains skin
- available in tubes or can be mixed in a bowl
- black / brown colour
- works for tattoos
- lasts a while (few days) on your skin.
- Remember to do the allergy test before going all out.
- liquid: when drying on your skin, it can crack up
- labeled as peel of : it peels off when you least expect it.
- oil based: it's all good and well, but if you run around in the sun all day your make-up will run and you will die because oil does not let your skin breathe. As for cold indoor... well go for it!
- Waterbased: easy to apply and remove and safe.
- If you can use it on the face, you can use it on the body

A cosplay love story
Another, non-informative / non-tutorial post by me to share an amazing cosplay moment(s) with you guys!
Well the title did spoil some of that fun.
Anyway, back to what I wanted to say... oh yes, I actually have a cosplay love story.
It all happened in 2011 (February or March) when I got a message from one of the cosplay sites (a member wanted to ask me if I know of any South African conventions. He wanted to cosplay, but did not know when and where). As helpful as I always am, I replied and so it happened that I would meet the cosplayer at UPCON 2011. I was sooooo excited!
UPCON came and I met the guy (and his sister, and 2 friends) and I thought I felt a spark that day. But as most of my close friends know, nothing really happens.
A week or so after UPCON I decided that my Rukia wig should retire seeing as I wished for a couple cosplay, cosplaying her, with Byakuya / Renji. And I got the idea of doing my very first photoshoot, using Renji and Rukia. Only problem was I was missing a Renji. And everybody knows, if you are looking for something / someone, post it on Facebook. And I told myself:
And so the same new cosplay friend replied, saying that if nobody else replies he'll be Renji for me. And guess what? Nobody else replied. So we started referencing ideas (going through tons of fanfiction, fanart, and doujinshi, and mushing my one friend's brain)
While chatting every evening while searching for info or just relaxing I kind of fell in love with this 'Renji' I was supposed to kiss and look real close during the photoshoot. And the butterflies came, and one fated evening, 18 June 2011, I blurted out everything and immediately took on a defensive position, expecting the worst.... but I did not expect his reply... He liked me too!
So whoever saw us at ICON 2011 know we were all in love and cute, and a while later we had the shoot and from there on we cosplay together. We try cosplaying characters close to one another or be related in some kind or another.

Cosplay for me: 2009 vs 2012
Here is a bit of rambling and my personal opinion. Feel free to comment with your own rambling, comparing 2 of your cosplay years.
I chose 2009 and 2012, seeing as 2009 was the year I started going to conventions, and last year, 2012, is still very fresh in my mind.
I cosplayed as Rukia from Bleach and I made my debut by making most of S.A.M / A.E.X. members' costumes for the convention. It was amazing and right there and then I got my very first request for a cosplay which we did for ICON 2009. I cosplayed both days, but only uploaded the competition outfit.
ICON
Sorry for the tilted images but no matter what I do it keeps on turning to the side. Anyway, I cosplayed Yuu Kanda from D.Grey-man. The costumes took us 3 months to complete. This was my very first 1st prize (and if my memory serves me correct, my only 1st prize so far). I felt awesome and I did a lot of networking; having my very own stall to display some of my cosplay outfits. I got the request to go to Japan and represent South Africa in the cosplaying and I turned it down (seeing as I was still busy studying) I attended all three days but I only upload the competition outfit.
rAge
Sorry for the one tilted image. I cosplayed Itachi Uchiha from Naruto. It was a dream come true as we entered the Dome as Exhibitors. People were looking for me and talking to me, knowing my name, and yet I did not know them. I only attended the first 2 days, and only uploaded the competition outfit.
Thanks to Dina who took some nice photos of me. I cosplayed Rosette Christopher from Chrono Crusade. I won the random draw prize during the cosplay competition. I was not happy with the cosplay competition results. I saw a few new cosplay faces. The convention was okay. I only went on the first day, thus my cometition / only cosplay outfit is this one.
ICON
I cosplayed Chizuru from Hakuouki, in her geisha outfit... Nobody really recognized the character. I was not happy how the competition went, seeing as NO ANIME cosplay got a place. I cosplayed all three days, but uploaded only the competition outfit.
rAge
I cosplayed Nelliel Tu Odelschwank from Bleach. I was highly unimpressed with the competition and the so-called flash-mob which in reality was a smart-mob. It is never a good idea to try and cram a lot of cosplayers into a super small space. I feel the judging was not really objective, seeing as while the competition was still going on, we made the joke about who will win (because they know the judges personally) and it turned out that we were right: they won. Thank goodness my best friend came in second! So there might still be hope. I was sponsored for the competition as the competition had a very high entrance fee (R50 pre and on the day R70). And sadly enough the fee didn't go to the stage as all we cosplayers were made to believe.... Hen Hai gave out free gifts for the cosplayers who did not enter the competition. I cosplayed all three days, only uploaded the competition outfit.
So looking at both years, I enjoyed 2009 much more. Cosplay turned more political in 2012. I miss the good old days, but since this year, I will see who judge and what the fee will be, and decide on whether to enter the competitions or not. But I will still cosplay!
