Astro Boy Cosplay

[karl0s]

That chest plate looks awesome with the blue light, genius.

Thank you! Expect more pictures soon~ My friend and I are getting ready for Otakon and we're going to do a few random photoshoots to get detail shots of our various costumes, Astro included!

Awsomeness! If I here about any anime conventions around where I live, I'll go as Uran. I'll wear a black wig that I can sew and stuff out of cloth, and add fabric paint for shinyness, and wear a pink skirt, white blouse, and pink shoes. I could also carry my purse I just made. It's red and it has a little picture of Astro, in Tezuka Moderno Labo style.

Cute. ^____^ I would go as Black Jack. And there is a convention near where I live, called 'San-Japan'. But it costs to much, so If I dress up as Black Jack, it would probably only be for Halloween. XD >___<

Sweet, guys! I hope we can see each other at a con someday! I'll make sure to post photos if I see any other Tezuka cosplayers at Otakon. Talk to ya after the weekend!

Your costume looks great. C: Clever how you made the chest plate.

I dunno if there's an anime convention around where I live, but I could also wear that costume for Halloween. Mom says I'm too old for trick or treating, but I can always take my little sis around with me.

Okay, I need to warn you guys that sometimes cosplaying at school or on Halloween can go horribly wrong if you go as an anime character - especially if it's not a mainstream one - and the majority of your school isn't into that sort of thing. Like, when I was 15, I went as this guy, minus the facial hair...


...And everyone around me thought I was a Beatle and/or Elton John, leading to having to explain who Gendo Ikari was approximately 30382 times. Near the end of trick-or-treating, this happened:

"Uh, are you some sort of Beatles thing?"
"...Yes."

But if you guys have a lot of friends who will know who you are, and you truly love the character you're going as, you'll probably do better than I did.

Yeah, that would probably end up happening to me. Everyone would probably end up thinking I'm Dracula (Cause I wanna dress up as Black Jack, cape and all.....) And I am a girl, so it makes it even weirder, dressing up as a boy.... -_- Or maybe they will think I'm a zombie.
Hehe, I just say, 'I'm suppose to be Black Jack, the number one Surgeon in da world!' :d evil:

BTW, who is that guy? Just curious.

BTW, who is that guy? Just curious.

Gendo Ikari, the commander of NERV Special Duty Organization who forces his son Shinji to pilot a biological robot in Neon Genesis Evangelion. (Don't watch that show until you're a little bit older...) I tried to make a Princess Sapphire costume a year before the Gendo costume, but I was inexperienced at the time and got paint everywhere. :d oh:


@PsychoShinji: Do you happen to be named after Shinji Ikari?
