I worked really hard on it, sewing almost everything myself and trying my best to get my hair and features to match. I was thrilled when the local newspaper caught this shot.

All-in-all, very pleased with how my classic Captain America cosplay turned out.

FP edit: Meanwhile please applaud @natnthehat for her Princess Mononoke cosplay.

melts on your mouth, not on your hand.

I don't get this at all. Is it because I haven't seen the latest Capt. movies(s)?

For a second I thought this was "classic" Captain America, like before the colonials arrived.

Always upvote well-done cosplays, but I also downvote store-bought cosplays because I'm bitter about how much effort I put into cons...

Try to capture details like a prop designer. the use and damage of material. scuffs scratches etc its what makes GOT, or LOTR believable

I got paid to cosplay at C2E2 a few years back, made $300 to walk around dressed as Bluntman and take pictures with people. It was a blast.

Usually not on that alone, but they use their cosplay to get work in costumes, modeling etc.

You can make enough off of modeling, contest prizes, and other things to make it your main income, but it's rare and very difficult.

and you "have to" flood Imgur with pictures to: A) get your image out there trying to build a brand; and B) makes lots of people thirsty

Isn't cosplay supposed to be accurate. I mean your character is young and skinny. What's next a comic con with a fat male sailor moon...

This is an accurate depiction of a Sailor Moon Cosplay. The reason she is called sailor moon is because she is a moon sized sailor right?
