As an aspiring cosplayer, you need at least one cosplay idol in order to be successful. Anyone who was ever successful, whether at a sport or another activity, had to be inspired by someone else. This person who inspired them, motivated them to be just as good, if not better at the craft. When it comes to cosplaying, you can dream big because the sky is the limit. When it comes to cosplay, some are so good at it that they are able to make a living from it. Just imagine spending the rest of your life attending conventions all over the world and getting paid to do so.

It’s rather amazing that such a thing exists, isn’t it…and no, it’s not too good to be true.

Here is something you should know:

Professional cosplayers in Japan can also be cosplay models. These are people that are paid to dress up as a character and be photographed. This is a dream job for many people, but these individuals do take their work seriously. The average cosplayer can be paid up to $150 an hour and can demand even more than that for every 30 minutes after the first hour or two. The field of cosplaying is rather competitive considering no special schooling or training is required. A person simply has to have a talent for portraying their cosplay idol.

For those needing cosplay references, screen shots are very important. It is these shots that help ensure the cosplay is accurate. However, it can be hard to stand out at a convention these days with the Misa misa, Axel, Sasuke, and roxas cosplayers making themselves seen at conventions. But no matter who is running around, you can be all that you can be and have fun with it.

So how do you create a cosplay costume that can stand out amongst all of the others? How do you make all of the others at the convention stop, admire, and compliment your creative cosplay costume or ask to take your picture? Well, you simply need a costume that is going to inspire such reactions. You need something that is going to turn the heads of people so that they want to be around you.

By having a stand out cosplay costume, you could even win one of the prestigious costume awards…or you could win them all. But the question is how do you do this? Well, you first have to find your Cosplay Idol. This is someone that you admire and who inspires you to better yourself. Make sure you ask yourself what makes them so good. Is it the degree of detail their character possesses or the accessories that they tote around? Look at their choice of fabrics, their overall personality (which should shine through in photos), and look at the overall costume you are trying to imitate. Always be sure to use your own personality and your imagination together to make your cosplay a success.

If you are looking for popular Cosplay Idols, professional Japanese cosplayer Arisa Mizuhara and Internet celebrity Adella are amongst the many talented cosplayers in the world today.

Cosplay is the opportunity to showcase your favorite anime character. However, there are certain tips to bear in mind when deciding to tackle a particular role.

Research: No matter how well you assume you know your character choice; it is always advisable to gather as much information as possible. Make use of reference pictures from all sources available. This can range from visiting the main website dedicated to the show, to browsing through fan sites, or even re-watching the series again.  Compare notes; for where one site can have an outfit showing up as blue, another can have the same outfit showing up as indigo.

Time: Give yourself the time to prepare your costume. Outfits thrown together at the last minute give the impression that you are not dedicated enough. Be aware of loose hems and seams. Good hemming makes your costume look less shoddy and reduces the risk of it unraveling. Press seams (with or without steam depending on the fabric) to reduce the risks of bunching, puffing or puckering. Make sure the costume fits and is sewn to fit your proportions. This reduces the need to hot glue any part of your costume at the last minute. These can melt easy especially if the convention is held under hot conditions.

The Right Fabric: Choose appropriate fabric to fit with the role of the character you are playing. For instance, school girl costumes would require light cotton material. Do not use satin or heavy wool; textures that do not match. If your costume calls for a skin tight design, make sure you use stretchable fabric that gives you the ability to move easily without being too uncomfortable.

Choosing the Right Wig: Be sure to have the right color and style of wig for your character. Although some cosplayers choose to actually dye their hair, it is not usually recommended. You can find cheap, inexpensive wigs at Halloween or costume shops.  However, if you want something to last for a long time, then choosing wigs from beauty shops might be the better investment, even if they do cost a little more. Transport your styled wig on a Styrofoam wig head (these can be purchased at a beauty shop) and place it in a wig or hat box filled with Styrofoam ‘peanuts’ for extra protection. Read and follow instructions on the wig packet for proper maintenance for they can be reusable.
