Welcome to Gaia! ::

Here's a blog post I wrote about how to break down a cosplay into manageable pieces.

Here's the gist of it:

1.Break down the cosplay into components.

2.If needed, break down the components.

3.Make a list of things you can re-purpose versus things you need to make.

4.When stuck, look at what the thing kind of looks like. Research tutorials. Talk to cosplay friends. Often it’s better to talk to people who do not know the series, so they can look at things from a different light.

5.Above all… HAVE FUN!!!! We’re here because we love cosplay! That should include the creation process. If you start to get frustrated and stressed, take a quick break. It’s okay to take a while to make a cosplay.

Whenever i buy a wig i usually make sure i can use it for multiple cosplays
I know a lot of people don't think to so thought I'd put it out there heart

Where do you all like to buy your cosplay wigs from?

I've lucked out on Amazon, but I know there are actual specific websites for them.

I just finished up writing a Wigs 101 tutorial. It goes over the very basics of how to get started styling a wig. I'll write up more advanced spiking and styling techniques when I get a chance. Those will be posted in the Wig Styling thread.
