Yep, in Japan cosplays are taken more seriously, so they’re usually photoshopped, western cosplayers are just doing it for fun, and tend to not care about how they look.
I like to photoshop mine and others though for them. xD
XD Yeah! I always do it with my cosplays and it ends up looking much better then if I just put it up raw. It looks more proffessional I guess you could say.
Simple, wig, make-up, and contacts, you could be a grown up verison of Satoko, and find someone to cosplay as grown up Rika and Hanyuu. (Like Rena and Shions age)
Alot of japanese pictures of cosplayers are also photoshopped, usually not heavily, but they just changed the lighting, and smoothed their skin. American cosplayers I see usually just put up their picture raw.
This is why kids, whenever you cosplay, you photoshop the lighting so you look better. =3
yeah I agree. There are a lot of really REALLY good american cosplayers but their pics never make it into videos like this because the japanese pics are just more popular. I don’t think the race of the cosplayer determines how good the cosplay is in the end.
i would make a good satoko cosplayer if only for the fact that every picture ever taken of me winds up with me having epic red-eye. my hair’s too long and dark but that’s a quick fix. well, the whole “me being 5′9″ and far too tall for her” thing might be a bit of a detriment but … i could always chop my shins off.
not true. Ive seen some pretty LAME japanese cosplayers. It just depends how much hard work you put into your costumes and how much you wanna look like them. Mostly determins of devotion. Im Japanese and yes some japanese cosplayers not so pretty
this is the best version of the dear you’s but unfortunately its the only one without a specific name. i rly wanna download this one. Where did you get the mp3?
