Sometimes cosplays aren't THAT expensive. I mean, look at people like Phoenix Wright or Maya Fey. I mean, Phoenix; get a blue suit and a red tie, gel your hair into spikes going back, get modeling clay and make a little defense attorney badge.
Maya Fey would be a bit more complicated; white dress, lavender loose coat, a long bolt of magenta fabric to wrap around your waist and tie into a bow, sandals, modeling clay for the necklace. And possibly really big scrunchees or modeling clay or something for the huge beads in her hair.
So, all in all, you'll ALWAYS be able to find a character to cosplay that isn't horribly expensive. (And if you really wanted to; jeans, baggy white shirt, dye your hair black, eyeliner bags under your eyes and VOILA. You have L.)

Ehh, I guess it's more the stuff I'm into that has the "exotically dressed". From games and stuff I've played, there are very few characters I could pull off... maybe Fayt Leingod if I dyed my hair blue, but I'd die before I cosplayed him. Maybe Mugen from Samurai Champloo, but I lack the red vest and sandals.

Phith Leico O_O OMG EPHRAIM! HOW THE HELL DID YOU FIND ALL THOSE FE COSPLAYERS WHEN ALL I FOUND WERE IKES, AN ERK AND A NINIAN!?!?!?! crying biggrin SOMEONE ELSE WENT TO OTAKON!!!! Next year for Otakon, I'ma cosplay as Roy. Because then, I get pictures taken of me by fangirls AND the FE Fans. >w XD!!!! Honestly, I had done a little research a week before the con and there was a schedule on Cosplay.com, that tells you where the photoshoot is going to be and what time it was. The Fire Emblem Shoot was at 6:30 Friday at the Fountain Entrance, they had a Fire Emblem picnic after that but I had to go to my friend's Persona 3 shoot. I couldn't remember what their saturday shoot was but I believe it was 5:30 at the 3rd floor OT (Outdoor Terrace) Edit: YOu SHOULD totally do Roy! lol xDD I am definlently planning on finishing my Ephraim cosplay cause I couldn't get it done this year, but I am dying to do that outfit xP. Hopefully my little niece can come with me cause I wanna dress her up as Myrrh xD!

If I cosplay again (which I will at Izumicon if I ever get around to asking my parents about it), I'll do a Bleach character. I bought the Shihakusho costume from QQCosplay last year, when I cosplayed Orihime, and I plan to go as Nanao Ise this year. Get a notebook, fix my hair properly (perhaps do a temp-dye if my mom lets me), and get my dad's little screwdriver-thing for glasses and take the lenses out of my glasses. Voila, Nanao.

Note to self: FIND THE PHOTOSHOOTS! XD Oh, and for those who didn't know or read my dA yet, I competed int eh Otakon Brawl tournaments. The Free-for-all was a flop, with me going out in the second round to a pro Dedede. The 1-on-1 was crazy. I made it to the QUARTERFINALS! And then I lost from a cheap death via messed up Fraore's Wind. crying I found the match where the guy who beat me (Diddy) is in the Semifinals. THIS WAS ALMOST ME!!!!! crying

Ahaha xD I didn't go to the masquerade cause there have been too many disappointments in my book, that and I was at a private photoshoot that lasted about 2 hours with a professional photographer xP. Was taking shoots of Johnny shiden, Leon Magnus, Pierre de Chaltier (Me) and Judas around the water fountain xP;;
Edit: Tales of Destiny Group, private shoot xP

The masquerade started out really well, and then just turned into meh. By the end of the acts, about 60% or more of the entire audience had left...

Yea see, I didn't go again cause of the disappointment and boring skits xP. I had fun playing Yaoi poses with my friends LOL!!! Afterward we actually wanted to go to the PHoenix Wright Trial -.- but that goddamn line was full and when my friend and I asked where panel 4 was (cause we couldn't see with all the crowds blocking the sign) we asked a staff and he told us ALL THE WAY ON THE OTHER SIDE. So we're like "Ok, lets go then, hopefully it started and we can stand in the back". We walk all the way over there and there's NOTHING THERE. So we're like "Ok, what the hell? Its not over here" and we look at the map ITS BACK ON THE OTHERSIDE WHERE WE ASKED THE F*CKING STAFF. So we walk ALL THE WAY BACK, run into my friend's friend, ask him about the Phoenix Wright trial and this is what he said "OH Yea, That line's full..I tried to get in but the staff kicked me out, your not even allowed to stand"
-_-;; That was the only panel I really wanted to go to and the line was f*cking full. What angered me even more was the staff telling me it was on the other side of the goddamn floor..he could ahve just told us the line was friggin full instead of sending us on the otherside of the FORESAKEN BUILDING!!
