Glasses and moppish hair - Ideas, plaaz.
Hey, all!
I haven't cosplayed (at a convention) for a number of years, although I often wear costumes for - believe it or not - recreational outdoor paintball, as seen here. (and if you can guess who I'm cosplaying as in that video, you shall be awarded with 50 internets - and a Shagohod.)
With my interest in anime recently and inexplicably restored, I'm thinking of attending Anime North, a Toronto-based con, which is coming up in late May.
I have relatively long black hair (naturally a light brown) and horrific eyesight (we're talking legal blindness here) - as such, I'd prefer to play as a bespectacled character - so I can, you know; see - but please note that I do have contact lenses at my disposal. I'm also ridiculously thin.
I have a fair amount of cash lying around, so I'd prefer to buy a costume (even in components) rather than make one (since I'm a lazy-ass son of a bitch) - but I'm not going to spend an arm and a leg on what may be a one-time thing, either.
Okay - so, now for some pictures, so you know what you're dealing with;
(Taken about 45 seconds ago)
And some others, taken a few weeks to a month ago -
I also have a wide assortment of gas masks, respirators, military clothing and footwear lying around.
My legs, by the way, are a great deal thinner than those BDU pants might belie, but to avoid being grouped in with that whole shitty 'emo' subculture, I've had to stop wearing tight jeans.
So yeah. Any suggestions?
Oh - note - I have nothing against crossplaying, either.

Yeah like what Jan Akiyama said you would make a great Dante preferably the third and the Dante from the Fourth game.
Though youd look pretty cool as the Assassin player from Assassin's Creed.
And for Canas I kinda see why you put him because of the monocle. I say go for any of them...
Any of these three would make a pretty awesome picture with your personality and photography.

: P I don't think I'm asian enough for people at the con to stop and go 'Hey! it's the bassist from dirru - ohmahgawwd!'
While I'll take that as a compliment, I've seen D.E.G. live twice now (once with the Family Values Tour and another time on their own,) and..
Well, I won't be giving them a third chance to redeem themselves, I'll say that much. Love their album stuff, but on-stage..

You would make an AWESOME:
Kyouya Ootori from Ouran High School Host Club (a little overdone, but I haven't seen one I liked yet - he is supposed to be handsome and cool~!):
Howl from Howl's Moving Castle (you can do either a really simple look w/just his white shirt/black pants or go for more w/the coat. He has dark hair just like yours for part of the movie.):
(blonde here but you can see his coat)

ladybug, you are a savior; that is effing perfect.
Just.. how am I going to get robes like that?
"Ladybug to the rescue again!!!" (tehe)
I found a website for you, they do really good work, just make sure you tell them your measurements cause the outfits run small. (at least for girls) it'll run about 89.00.
