Cosplay!/Introduction

[kexxjack]

Well, This forum looks pretty dead but hopefully it's just comatose, and perhaps I'll be able to wake it up.

Well, I'm somewhat of a new Black Jack fan. I started reading Tezuka's stuff in the beginning of this year. I've read 3 volumes of the Black Jack manga, 6 of the OAV's, some of the 2003 series and just started watching Black Jack 21.

Anyway, I'm making a cosplay of Black Jack for youmacon this year, and I figured I'd post what I have done so far:

Normal:
[ ]Suit
[X]Trench coat
[/]Tie
[X]Doctor's bag
[/]Stuff to put in the bag
[/]Hair(is cut to be that way but not dyed yet)
[X]Shoes

Surgery version:
[X]Gloves
[ ]Smock
[X]Mask
[/]Surgical supplies
[ ]Hair net thing

Here are some pictures:
Me in my costume so far(only coat and tie are it)I think I should mention that I'm going to get the tie sewn in half to make it thinner
Bag closed
Bag open
Bag with my medical supplies


I feel like I should mention that I'm loosing weight for the cosplay.

Hello Kexx :3 Welcome the forum!

My brother had just recently did a BJ cosplay for Fanime, it was an epic fail in his mind XD *was his assistant for make-up*

Just wanted to say, good luck on bleaching the hair. You might do better since your hair is seems browner than my brother's (his is almost pure black). We had to bleach his hair twice because we could only get it to light golden blonde. (I wonder what would have happened if we did it once more time...)

Anyway, after that we tried using manic panic temporary hair dye to make it paper white, but that stuff would not stick on to his hair. I told my brother it looked like the bottles might have been old, so it might have been the case, but he also has greasy hair because of his work (he works with WD-40 all day). So I just wanted to say it's a huge pain, so I would highly suggest trying to experiment like a month before your convention so you know you can get your hair white.

After that experience, I'm just going to make wigs for him, lol. *learning currently* I'm hoping to get his to cosplay again just for a decent picture with the proper hair.



Oh! And I was wondering what you plan to do for your facial make-up. Are you just going to buy a brown foundation and use a eye liner, or try using fake skin or liquid latex and add stitching effect to it?

That's so cool! I wish I could cosplay as Pinoko ^_^
Are you gonna get red contacts for BJ's eyes?

Also, welcome to the forum!

For my hair, My mom's hairdresser is going to dye it. She used a bit of my hair from my last haircut and is going to experiment with it.

For the scars, I'm probably going to use a makeup pen, and I still need to figure out what I'm going to use to get the right skin tone for the left part of my face.

For the eyes, I've unfortunately never been good with contacts, so I'll probably end up just wearing my glasses then taking them off if someone asks for my picture or something.

For Pinoko, I'm considering making my little sister dress as her and stealing her for the con. lol

Cool, I've been thinkin about being Black Jack for Halloween. ^___^
Only bad thing is, my hair is too thick....
All I need is a black bag, a red bow tie, and a black cape. And I'll have to find out how to color half of my hair white.....
