| Hello ladies and gents and thank you for having me on your lovely forums. My name is Adam (but I like the handle 'Stil' it is Dutch for silent and Norwegian for style I'm told - I thought I had made up the word as I picked it for an RP character), I'm 27 and I currently live in Derby. Why I'm here: I love role playing and have been doing it on and off for about 8 years now. Costumes and cosplay are relatively new to me but I've always loved to dress up as it adds to the immersion, pays homage to the person/idea I'm trying to dress up as (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery), and (until I get into a fluster about time crafting, costs of materials and super-critical of my abilities) provides me lots of fun as I enjoy being creative. I've always dabbled with little projects and simple costumes, but I'd like to get a little more involved and take it more seriously. From my time here I hope to learn a little bit more about cosplay, I hope to find guidance - especially being one that doesn't venture out of my crafting comfort zones without a guide, motivation (friendly encouragement or threats of a boot up the ass are both good working methods ) and hopefully make a few friends who are into the scene. From mid November I'll actually be paid to dress up as an elf for the Santa/Father Christmas grotto thing!! Any questions, feel free to ask Namaste x | |

| hey hey Stil! Nice to meet you and welcome to the forums You'll deffo be getting boots up the ass, encouragement is optional What type of characters do you have in mind? I'm really into creating original characters atm So i'd love to hear what you have planned ^^ Maybe we could make a group Steampunk might be a good place to start as they are all original characters following a similar style, take a peek on the steampunk section...or just type it into google images haha When I first started cosplay I didn't realise what a huuuuuuge thing it was, not just cosplay but lolita, gijinka, steampunk and all the little sub sections that are so closly linked so i'll bet you'll find plenty of stuff to do then realise you never have all the time to fit it in and oh yeah, what happened to having a life? ps. From GP's reaction i'll bet I know who you are too | |

| Thank you all for the warm welcome. Characters wise? Something close to what I'd normally roleplay but I do want to branch out into other things - Steampunk is something I do *love* so I agree with you being a good first choice I think for looking smexeh, exploring different crafting techniques and for making good con/clubwear (to the clubs I go to anyway ). I was also thinking about a fur suit if my partner is ok with it, a WoW character costume for meetups with my RP guildies. Along anime/manga lines - I'm not sure yet, everything is soooo tempting I think some of you do know who I am I do miss the Darkside But hope to visit when I start getting paid *waves* | |

| You may possibly be my new favourate person >< I'm planning a Draenei cosplay at some point Along with a fursuit too >< I know Quicky has almost finished his fursuit, we could all go to a con fursuited up! Would be great if you could both make it to a mini meetup on 13-14th Nov? Pretty sure I invited GP on FB, but who checks FB events anyway? lol I'll post ti in the meetups section | |

| The mini meetup sounds wonderful - but I'll need to check things with work. I think I'm down to work that weekend. (10-6 sat and 10.30-4 sun) If I see a work around I'll take it as I'd love to see you all and get some costume designs down on paper, but can't afford to bunk work or turn down shifts just yet my love My hugs and man-power (well, a poor excuse for a man but I can open jars and remove spiders ) on there way be it this meet up or a later date. x | |

| Dydh da, Stil! (That's hello in Cornish)
Welcome aboard, and don't worry, you're not the only non-super-costume person here, I don't do a lot of costume work other than throwing together items of clothing and sometimes making items.
If you're into RP and stuff, have a gander at Steampunk and LARP!
Enjoy your time here, dude. | |
