I was just wondering. At most, I've dyed my hair and shaved....well, everything.
Recently, I've been helping my girlfriend bulk up to be Zabuza. We work out together for an hour or so per day. We've been doing this for a couple week now. She's still got horrible endurance. She's just lazy and she keeps complaining that I'm pushing her too hard. She sure loves looking at her abs in the mirror though. (Not as good as mine, though! 3nodding )
She also gave up all candy, soda, and snack foods. I would not be able to give up my precious coffee! Ever! I respect her very much for her dedication.
She's even willing to chop off all of her hair and shave off her eyebrows to become Zabuza. I don't think I'd ever shave off my eyebrows, ever!
Anyone else have any inspiring stories?

I don't think I have ever done this for COSPLAY per say, but I have done this for drum corps . . . I don't drink soda, I take vitamins, I take glucosamine, I take protein supplements and I work out all the time now. I also practice my marching and carrying a 40 pound freaking tube in front of me but that's besides the point. I don't think I could ever shave off my eyebrows for a cosplay. I haev cut my hair a number of times and dyed it, but never had to shave anything. I only cosplay, I don't crossplay so I haven't had an issue as far as binding goes. I sew like none other >.>

I'm not sure how far I'd go to "become" the character I'm cosplaying. Last year I cut my hair in the style of AC Yuffie, for my Yuffie cosplay, and went out showing more skin than I ever have in a public setting. I exercise somewhat for the sake of cosplay, cause nobody wants to see Yuffie with a pudgy belly. But I also do it for my general health as well.
I think maybe to further my dedication, I'd dye my hair, and maybe get colored contacts. I don't see really what else there is for me to do to become more like the characters I cosplay...cause, well they're pretty tame ^_^

Well, it would depend on the character, but I guess I would die my hair, cut it, shape it and stuff so it would resemble the character I'm doing.
Lose weight, show skin and work out; maybe cut all of my hair.... I guess or me to decide I would have to have the decision in front of me.
I'm currently trying to leave my hair grow to my knees to make a cosplay.
I once met a girl that said she would get breast implants to make her cosplay look even more like the character.

I happen to be losing weight anyway, but I add cosplay as motivation to work out and stay true to my diet.

I have contemplated shaving off the little bit of "sideburn" that even girls have right at the hairline in front of the ears for wigs. As well as lifting my hairline a tad for the same purpose. Haven't gotten to that point just yet, as I haven't had a costume with a wig that I needed to do that since I have thought of it.
I contemplated shaving my head for my Aang costume. But I knew my b/f wouldn't go for the idea of having a bald GF (this was before Britney's breakdown, I might add).
Let's see... I have bound my DD boobs... but that's not atypical.
Oh, I once super-glued foam ears to my scalp. Surprisingly successful!

Indigo Project I happen to be losing weight anyway, but I add cosplay as motivation to work out and stay true to my diet. Same here. Although, I have bound my breasts also. Can't think of anything else very drammatic. I can usually pull off my costumes with alot of wig styling and makeup effects rather than actually change my natural looks in a semi-permanent way.

I've cut my hair for the sake of cosplay.
I've also dyed it, too. I'm going to be dying it again, because I have the feeling that some of my hair is going to be sneaking out from under my wig, and at the very least, it'll be a close enough match that no one will notice.
I've bound my chest, too, but that's hardly out of the ordinary.
And I'm going to let my face be plastered, so I can have a good mask for a costume this year.

i'm trying to grow my hair out and plan on dying it dirty blond (and i hate blond hair gonk ) for my Mello cosplay. i've cut and dyed my hair for cosplays before, but only dyed it red which is my favorite color for my hair to be. and i've never cut it short, just cut bangs into it.
i've consider wearing cosmetic lenses, but i haven't done it yet. xp
and i'm planing on trying to get in better shape for my mello and naruto cosplays, but it's just stuff something that i wanted to do anyways.
and i'm pretty lazy about other cosplay stuff, i don't bind my chest to do my guy cosplays...i just wear bigger shirts. and i don't go to great lengths to do my make up to look like a guy. i would never shave my side burns, eye brows, or head.

I'd probably do everything for a cosplay. Unless its a skimpy outfit (haven't met a anime character that I liked in one) then I wont wear their cosplay. xp
