[quote name='Nirvanaguy777']Alright so Im attending various anime cons and halloween bashes this year around. I want to be some kind of pirate, captain marvel, king of bandits jing, captain kuro and something mystical...with a hood of some sort. Yea anyone know of any good cosplay sites and costume sites I would be very appreciative.[/QUOTE]
Captain Marvel? Do you mean "SHAZAM" (aka Captain Marvel) from DC Comics or "Mar-Vell" (aka Captain Marvel circa 1980's) from Marvel Comics?
First off, what's your planned spending cap for each costume? I'm asking you this because you should plan to spend at least a small amount of money for the actual costume pieces or props and/or materials to make the costume(s) yourself.
Next, how detailed do you want each costume to be?
Once you specify exactly how close you want your costume to look to the way the original character's looks, then you'll have an idea of how much you'd be looking at spending. In other words, the more detailed and intricate the costume, the more it will cost.
The costs would be distributed as follows;
~ Materials
~ Someone else's time and effort, especially if you don't want to make the costume(s)/prop(s) yourself.
~ YOUR time and effort if you do want to make everything yourself.
If there's one thing that I know about cosplaying, it's the fact that it costs time, effort and money.
