Cosplay Suggestions?

What? A nerd can't have a hobby? Now in all seriousness, I have never cosplayed, though I have a great desire to get somewhat into it... however; I don't know where to start. I collaborated with a friend to discuss potential cosplay ideas and one that piqued my interest was a genderbent Lucoa from "Dragon Maid". I do feel that the genderbend trope lost its charm though.... So throw some ideas at me! Maybe they'll stick. A few physical traits that may be important: - 6'2" - Oval-like face - Soft facial features (sob)

I really shouldn't be limiting myself based on physical attributes. Dunno, part of me wants something that looks and feels picture perfect, though I'll certainly find more enjoyment if my selection is broader. I would commission, though that takes half the fun from the whole thing. Thank ya! :>

It is best to cosplay characters you like.... so you can get into character! Other people cosplay so they can be in a group, but then don't enjoy it because they don't care about the character. Unless, your goal is just to be in a group. Genderbending is still very much alive, just make sure you keep the most important aspects of the costume. What is your goal when cosplaying? Since most of my cosplays are going to be racebent, I take care to portray the character as the original artist inteded. I don't don't do black versions of characters but many people enjoy creating those versions too. It is all about what you want to do, really.

sorry to double post, but as for suggestions: Fate is pretty popular right now. My Hero Academia and Attack on Titan, will still be popular for a while. If you want photos, Dragonball and Naruto will get you those. I still see Shizuo from Durarara! running around at cons. Sebastian or Grell from Black Butler. Lots of Fortnite characters and whatever ecchi anime is airing at the time of the con.
