What does it take to make the best possible start in cosplay? Veteran cosplayers Miyuu Takahara and Kenji Weston combined their experience and skills to give cosplay newcomers the guide they deserve. Expertly composed, this book contains hundreds of images, many of which illustrate the advice, instruction and ideas offered. Topics and techniques are explained in easy to understand and straightforward ways, while at the same time being detailed and comprehensive. All manner of costumes are given coverage: superheroes and supervillains, video game characters, and of course Japan's vast anime culture. The authors provide readers with comprehension on every major aspect of cosplay. There is ample coverage of the culture and history; aspects of planning and making costumes; makeup and props; advice on enjoying conventions and starting off in cosplay photography. Acquiring needed materials or items in ways to suit all budgets and lifestyles, plus budget and time management are also considered.
