~Kitsusagi Cosplay FAQ~
This thread is a compilation of some of the questions we have been asked before and we thought it was about time to compile them into a big list to help everyone. Please look here to see if your question has already been answered. If you have a question, PM it to Kitsusagi Staff, and it might end up appearing on this sticky!
How much for X cosplay?
- If you acquired your cosplay slot via a custom, you can actually get a lot for the shop's base price. Unless you want something massively editted, it should only cost you the base price. However, you should check with your colourist just to be sure. As for a bribe, they should reflect the amount of work being done. Generally a good starting price for a bribe is about 350k. Some colourists would like a little more if you're asking for something complex... but again you would need to check with them first on this.
I REALLY want to get a bribe/custom from (insert artist here). Can you tell me when they're next open?
- The artist you really want art from should be announcing that by themselves, when they're ready to. "I was just asking..." is not only bad, it's considered rude. Please wait until the artist is ready.
Is my Original Character considered a cosplay? If I get my OC, do I get the cosplay time restriction?
- Yes. It goes on the Cosplay.Kitsusagi.net server. And it is a cosplay Kitsusagi of your original character. smile
I have a Kitsu-Quest, but I really want another character first. Is this allowed?
- Yes... tenatively. Though the Kitsusagi Helpers would prefer you to get the character you've been questing for first. It's not fair to sit on a character for months and months if you're only planning on getting it 'eventually'. Please take this into consideration if you win a custom slot, or a bribe.
Do you charge extra for wings on Angelic lineart cosplay?
- Rarely. If you want the standard feathered Angelic wings, not at all. If you wanted editted wings... probably. You would have to ask the individual colourist.
I want (insert character name here). Is it taken?
- Check the Owners List of Realm. Also check Kitsu Quest's Master List. If you can't find it, it's probably not taken. smile
I want a Crossplay (a female of a male character, or a male of a female character). Is this allowed?
- Heck no! Realm of the Kitsusagi does not approve of crossplay. Please request your Cosplay Kitsusagi as the gender it is actually meant to be.
I have a small child character that I want as a cosplay. Can I get it on adult lines so I can breed it?
- The Realm of Kitsusagi seriously does not approve of child/teenage pregnancy and breeding. We also do not approve of child romances, *****, and 'lolita' style relationships. If you have a child character you want to get as a cosplay, you would have to get it on Kit or Teen lines. Please do not try and get around this by requesting them "all grown up" either.
If I get a Kitsu coloured like (character) with no edits, is it still a cosplay?
- Yes. Kitsusagi coloured to look like cosplays ARE STILL cosplays. Asking for a Kitsusagi coloured like that will also attract the custom/bribe waiting period time.
I really want a character that has more than one form. Can I get both at the same time? Or do I have to get one, wait out my cosplay/bribe waiting time, and get the next form?
- Discuss this one with the colourist, but you're allowed to get multiple forms of the same character at the same time. You just might need to pay extra for the other forms.
I really want such and such cosplay, but there already is one. However, the person has been inactive in the shop for more than a year. Now what?
- I'm really sorry to say this, but once a character has been made and given/bought by somebody, it's home is with that person, unless they decide to rehome it themselves.
Somebody has a version of a cosplay character. Am I allowed to get an alternate version of the character? (ie: Phoenix Wright in his blue lawyer suit, and Hobo-Phoenix Wright from the 4th game)
- Once the character has been bought by somebody, only that person may buy other forms for that character if they wish. This may change in the future... but for now, this is the situation.
