Just think, you go out for Halloween as a complete individual, one of your OWN characters, and you look so awesome and epic, you get twice as much candy and win contests without even having to enter.. xD
Also, please note, you do not need money to do this, honestly you don't. I'm sure you might have some random things lying around, heck you could make a costume out of a blanket xD! You also do not have to choose an existing character, if you want to create a character for the sole purpose of this cosplay or something feel free!
The basics:
Well, for those who do not know, a cosplayer is someone who dresses up as a character from a movie, anime film, TV show, video game, etc for contests, conventions, or just for fun.
There are, however, no cosplays for Original character created by US!
So!
Here's the competition!
I challenge you, all of YOU, to pick your favorite or most developed character from RPG and make them REAL. How do you do this? Well, you make a costume/suit/outfit/whatever that you will wear and take a picture of. Go nuts with it! Use props! Scenery! Make items out of scratch, weld together a sword for all I care! Have fun with it! Be creative, and most of all, make the character come to LIFE the way YOU see them!
What's in for Me?!
Well, what's in it for you, you ask? I'll tell you!
Not only do you get an awesome and fun experience out of this, but you also get the chance to be voted on by all of your friends and co-members here on RPG. If you get the most votes, you'll win:
-A customized edition of you submitted photo to truly portray everything you can not show, in a choice of: Avatar, signature, or even a book cover. (Go for the book cover it's epic!)
-The glory of being known as the best original character cosplayer on the site
-A load of fun
-And maybe if I can think of something awesome I'll do that too XD
When do I have to do this by?!
Starting from now, October 25 you have until November 15'th to submit entries for the actual competition! However, if you want to submit photos after the competition deadline, feel free! If we can get submissions by November 1'st we will be able to hold a mini-poll and announce those winners at The All Hallow's Eve Ball.
How do I/what do I need to enter?
When you enter or post in general, you will need either a link to your character's profile page, or a detailed description of their appearance in your eyes. You will also need a photo of a picture of the costume itself and optionally (highly recommended) yourself dressed as the character.
HOW TO VOTE!!!
The voting poll will NOT be posted until the end of the competition!! What I will do is go back when the competition is over and put up a poll with a voting option for each submission in which other members will be able to vote for their favorite. At the end of the poll, the three first place winners will be picked and allowed to choose the prize they desire.
Have fun! Don't be afraid to give it a try!
