I'm from Ontario! I live in Niagara Falls!

I'm in Ontario. And I tend to go to Anime North. (in toronto)

Costuming tips? I purchase fabric at Fabricland or Walmart

As for people to make them.. .don't look at me.. I have enough work making my own and my cosplay group's.... but I'm sure you can find people to take commissions.

Hey Rikku,
Im still new to Cosplay Paradise and ive only made around 5-6 costumes. all I know is that sum ppl Buy parts to make a costume sum ppl make it from raw material and sum ppl even trade costumes with other ppl from different cons its all in the way u feel like putting the costume together.
I just visit clothing stores to get parts for costumes, then its straight to the dollar stores to pick up lil funny looking items so i can make them look real

If u want to know about conventions i don't know about too many but the only 2 i go to for now are -Anime North- and -CNAnime- (both in Toronto)

If u go to Anime North, Ill be the cool loking guy in the Dante costume. lmao.......

Hello Rikku-Chan! ^^
I'am from Ontario, near the Owen sound area.
I've been cosplaying for almost 2 -3 years now. I've made 10 + costumes.
I attended Anime North 05 last year as Kagome Higurashi and did the same this year for AN - 06. I will be making it to CNAnime and a few more con's this summer coming up.

ok so im from ontario too! im in toronto~etobicoke area and although ive planned on going to anime north and having a wicked costume for it for the past 2 years...i have not...although i am currently actually making a Yuna costume for CNAnime in september coming up and i dont care what anyone says im making the costume and i really will go!! lol.....
as for materials i bought mine at fabricland....and for the sewing part...well im still figuring that out...thats why i never made it to the other cons... :<
anyway i hope your able to make it out to CNAnime!! seeyou around the forum! ciao

Hey i am from Toronto too..i used to live in Etobicoke but i moved to North York last year. I have been to five cons and i have cosplayed at four of them. So far i have cosplayed as android 18, Misato(evangelian), Wolfwood(both male and female forms), Shikamaru, and for Anime North 2007 i plan on cosplaying as Aya Mikage from Ceres. Does anyone here have a cosplay costume in mind for next years AN?

Not really, I lack a costume and I need to find an idea tonight (kinda freaking me out). I dunno what to go as and my gothic friend, Jenna, who has only seen 3 animes so far is going as Maleficent (not spelt right probably) after seeing me play KH2. My other friend is going as a character from Naruto, I believe.

well i looked at the photos in one of your posts and i'm thinking something like Kadaj from FFVII: AC or Riku from KH2....possibly Zexion from KH: CoM? and yes you spelled it right =PP and for some reason Wolfwood from.....i can't remember the anime i THINK its Trigun would be a good one for you. just suggestions ^_^

I would have loved to go as Zexion, but I have no time for the costume, I've never sewn in my life. Riku would have been so great to go as with Jenna, but I fear I am f***ed there too...

Well Riku seems like an easy enough costume....I'm planning to do a crossplay of him sooner or later ^_^

If you can find the right pieces of clothing you could just alter them or even get your friend Jenna to help you sew it if you need help.

It's decided, I am going as Riku, btw, come meet us on Friday of con!

I have some more KH2/FF cosplayers with me at AN though. we're only all together on saturday though....there's roughly 5 KH/FF in my group....something like that.

Hey, I'm from Ontario, for conventions in the area that are decent to go to check out: March Toronto Anime Convention (MTAC), December Toronto Anime Convention (DTAC), Fan Expo or CN Anime (Held end of August), Anime North (Everyone knows about this one though), and G-Con (Guelph Convention). Those are all of the ones I've been too that aren't too far from the Toronto area. Hope that helps.
