Commander McBride Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 The best I ever saw was Use that and what UN Spacy provided.Those are the best examples for your Mylene Cosplay. No. Even if joking, never take that advice. Never base your own costume on someone else's. It's as bad as builing a model using someone else's model for reference, rather than the proper source images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She should use her own artistic interpretation in creating HER own version of the Mylene costume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosplaygirl Posted August 31, 2003 Author Share Posted August 31, 2003 Hehehe. No need to argue boys. My problem isn't so much character design, it's complexity. I just have trouble with figureing out how I'm gonna make sometihng look like an anime. Because, as I have discovered, drawing something is much easier then building it. In my own opinion that is.

ARG. Like me and my Tasuki costume (which turned out awesome at AX2k2). I drew it up, had everything figured out, but making it was just UGH.

TheLoneWolf Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 (edited) The first Mylene has a great costume, but damn, I don't even think she's hit puberty yet. The second one however...very very nice! Any more pics of her? Anyways, if you're looking for 3D references, there are a couple of Mylene figurines and model kits that you could look at. Good luck with your costume. EDIT: Here's an auction for a Mylene figurine from one of our very own MW members.

Commander McBride Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 You know, one thing I have to say. I think that Vinyl is overused in costumes. I'd imagine that Mylene's band costume is not Vinyl, but instead a semi-shiny but not smooth and glossy, something like lycra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tekkaman Blade Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 How about Mylene Dynamite 7 OVA version. I like that outfit and you can get the goggles at any Army Surplus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bub Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Have you tried being Minmay or Misa? I really want to see a very good Misa Cosplayer. Anyway, there are more Mylene figure pictures in this thread: (click me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosplaygirl Posted September 2, 2003 Author Share Posted September 2, 2003 Actually I did Minmays red chinese dress that she wears for her sixteenth birthday. I plan to try the dress she wears in the final battle of DYRL and also gonna try and make Misa and Millia's Duty Uniform. I've also done the uniform Millia wears in the Macross M3 video game.

Agent ONE Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 What is the point of cosplay? Is it just dressing up like an anime character, or is there something else to it? I don't get it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjenius81 Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Well what is the point of cosplay? Depends There are many types of cosplayers A.) People who do it simply for fun and as a hobby. These are the average cosplayer who may or may not have sewing talent and just do it at cons for themselves. The bulk of cosplayers are under this category. B.) People who do it for money. Some cosplayers have so much talent and skill that they actually profit from it usually in the form of comissions for lesser cosplayers who either do not have time or skill to make elaborate costumes. There is a fair bit of $$ in it if youre good. My friend made a Vash costume (coat and underclothing) for around 600 dollars. C.) People who do it to practice their craft. Be they actors or seamstresses some people do it for practice in a future career on stage or in entertainment making costumes. THeyve got the skill so they simply show it off to pad their resume. Example being a guy who made a Guyver costume and currently works in Hollywood as a make up effects artist. D.) People who do it for fame. Some people crave attention and cosplaying is a good way to get it. It used to be a better way as back in the day there were fewer cosplayers (Example Otakon 2000 I'd say about 25% cosplayed, Otakon 2003 id say well over 50%). Ive got some friends who get a LOT of attention from both fandom and from the general public at large from their skills. One of my friends made the cover of the LA Times in small blurb about Anime Expo 2002. Another person I know was on stage for the G-Phoria awards these year as Aerith from FFVII. As what you do as a cosplayer, well that to differs. Some people do it solo or with close friends and simply walk around the con in costume and get pictures taken. Others like myself and my girlfriend are part of larger group of people, in this case So Desu Ne Cosplay with over 40 members across the country. People like this usually also perform skits on stage and compete for awards and recognition within fandom. Some groups are really intense like Sailor Jamboree used to require a demo tape of your stuff. Others, like So Desu Ne, take anyone who applies under the assumption that they want to learn to get better. Again some groups are hardcore and others are more social. Hope that answers your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
