Touhou Project 2011

[ar0n]

While being one of the least qualified fans to start a topic like this, I decided to do so anyways because if I don't, who will? So what I'd like to see is a reply from anyone doing a Touhou cosplay or even just considering it. While being both short and male, my character choices are quite limited but I'm sure I'll come up with something if this can gain enough supporters.

So with these final words, please donate..er post. please post a reply.
yeah...

While I'm pretty sure if I go only one day I won't cosplay Touhou, I'm definitely bringing my Nitori cosplay if I go more than one day or get to use my friends' hotel room.
And even if that doesn't end up happening, this kappa would still LOVE to see [& possibly stop and chat with at the risk of being hit by a friend] Touhou cosplayers at ASTL. >w>

thx for the post. I'd say my highlight of anime stl 2010 was seeing a meiling (china) cosplayer and having a chat. Sooo this year I really wanna get as many Touhou fans as possible to show up. I'd love to see you there Touhou cosplay or no Touhou cosplay.

...On second thought, Nitori's a go for sure. I hope to see you around, then!

[ar0n]

hooray! Now I just need to figure out my cosplay. I'm a bit too short to be a Rinnosuke and wriggle seems a bit too difficult (i'm lazy). I was thinking maybe Murasa, but i've never gotten a chance to play 12 plus my friend who always tags along hates crossplay. Just wearing a sin sack on my head seems too easy... MO~~ any ideas?

[milosci]

...Well I think the Cap'n's pretty manly anyway, especially if you go with the "Murasa wears baggy shorts" as opposed to "Murasa wears a skirt" interpretation of her portrait. >>

[ar0n]

I'm still a bit hesitant about murasa (does not look good in shorts), but whatever.
BTW, what day/s are you planning on going, or do you not even know yet?

[milosci]

lol i need to check these forums more often

but no uh. Probably just Saturday. It doesn't sound like there's enough of my friends going for us to bother getting a hotel room, so me and my best friend are probably just going to be driving out there on Saturday.

[ar0n]

Okay, yeah pretty much everyone goes saturday. it would still be nice if i could figure out how to do my cosplay though. most of the time i just sew my own costume, but rinnosuke's outfit seems a little too complex to do just "make." (besides, i'm still broke from that one purchase heheheh, stupid obsessions.) i tried searching online for male murasa cosplays but with no avail. and if a whole bunch of my friends weren't coming, i might have considered a manly version of marisa (despite how creepy that would have been) but yeah, feminine characters are out the window. this would be so much easier if there were more males in gensokyo...

posting is power

So yeah, I finally beat Touhou 12 on normal a few weeks back and decided that it would be fine to do a Murasa cosplay for ASTL. However, I'm not sure whether i should try to mannify murasa's costume or create an original design...hmmm, so many options.

BTW: I usually reply to comments within 24 hours so there really isn't any need to wait too long to post anything more. (I'm lonely! I'm so jealous!)*Parsee reference*

Edit: Or maybe this!

Once again, I'm talking to myself here. Anyways, I'm beginning to see the flaws in the concept of dressing in a sailor suit. Usually my mom helps with my costumes, but all I had done before was just male action characters (like Sora from KHII or an anbu from Naruto).

I have, however, come up with a new idea that is semi-touhou related and male. Pokemon trainer (like from Touhoumon) I used to play that game all the time. I know its not really "touhou" but at least it's something I know I can do. Maybe I'll revive that one idea I had on the Doujinstyle forums about making a Touhou card game...

If I do, I'll give you a card.
