Cosplayers to me!!!!

[Parrothead]

I want to do a rule 63 (genderflip) Harry Dresden cosplay.


Help me?

[gremcint]

well just make sure not to wear a hat.

Don't forget the staff and trenchcoat!

[Parrothead]

Any ideas for hair (mine is past shoulder length), makeup (if any) or earrings?

[Kheldarson]

Leave the hair down or in a loose ponytail. If your hair is curly, you might want to take a straightener to it. I wouldn't do makeup; Dresden's overall feel (particularly early on) is rather scruffy. Same with earrings, but if you do go with earrings, I'd wear a small pair of silver ones to match the power rings he wears.

Ok, random thoughts/ideas:

I'm aiming for middle of the series, so:

Should I get a Bob (found a place that sells museum quality bone replicas)? If so, should I make the eyes glow?

Should I have a puppy Mouse (a la Blood Rites)? Where could I get one (breed is confirmed as Tibetan Mastiff. I'm thinking plushie)?

Have staff, rod; bracelet and pendant are coming; business cards and duster are after I get paid.... Yeah that's all.

He doesn't carry Bob unless he has to. But a Mouse or a Mister would be a cute addition.

Yeah, but Bob with glowing eyes peeking out of a pocket would be damn cool.

[Parrothead]

I was thinking a mesh-type backpack.

My thought for carrying bob would be a duffel/gym bag (gym clothes included). Leave it open a crack so the orange glow comes out. It has the added advantage that a cheap plastic skull would work just as well as a museum grade one.

My other suggestion would be to pick a book that you are aiming for an check which rings he is wearing (the single band or the woven bands), if he is carrying Lasciel (hellfire glow on the staff, Lasciel's brand on his palm), if he has his Rod or not, etc.

You could get a 6-8 inch doll, dress it in army fatigues with a soda bottle helmet and a taped up boxcutter and plastic sword and call it "toot-toot" for your other pocket. Maybe you could find a pizza slice shaped to to go with it.....

And you need a donut. With pink frosting. And sprinkles.
