Topic: Need help choosing characters for cosplay...

[Inccubus]

So I'm going to my first convention in a couple of months and I need some ideas.

So far I thought of possibly Jet Black from Cowboy Bebop and possibly Tenchi Masaki's lecherous father, Noboyuki Masaki.

I need one more at least since it's a 3 day thing and I prefer to have a different outfit each day.
Two other thoughts I had are Shunsui from Bleach and Alphonse Elric, however, I don't think I'll have enough time to make a full set of armor, 3 kimonos, and captain's coat.

I'm 5'8" and 215lbs. so I'm looking for larger characters. I'm trying to drop at least 15 more pounds by November, but I'll probably still have a bit of a belly. So keep that in mind.

Thanks for any suggestions! :3

How about Barry Burton from Resident Evil?

Largo the Black Lion from the Tales series?

Detective Gumshoe from Phoenix Wright?

Lexaeus and Xaldin from Kingdom Hearts?

Gumshoe would be funny, he wanted to be a wizard after all...

This one should be pretty easy to pull off, the appropriate patches and red vest. A plastic magnum and a sandwich and you should be good to go. Depending on how elaborate you wanna get with the facial hair.

I like it! Not anime, but a good suggestion nonetheless. I've been meaning to try my hand at making a heavy vest anyway. Plus, I hardly ever shave anyway. Thanks!
