Cosplay Contest Noob here D: Help?
Hey guys! So I am entering my cosplay in contest this year at Sakura Con, this is also my first ever cosplay making and I was wondering if you guys have any tips from costume details to walking on and off the stage. I'm kinda nervous but super excited and I hope you guys could give me some pointers on just about anything!
Thanks

Check out the 'what makes a good walk-on' thread, there's good tips in there.
Off the top of my head, some basic tips: - challenge yourself, but don't aim so high that you don't have time, or don't yet have the skills to make what you're attempting. As a judge I prefer to see a well-made simple costume often than a sloppily made elaborate costume. - practice a lot! When you get onstage your mind will shut off and you need that practice to keep you going! - stay in character!! - don't run across the stage too fast. Conversely, don't stay any longer than you need to in order to make your point. I have a lot more tips here: http://sarcasm-hime.net/cosplaycrimes.html

Practice, and be proud of your costume! That means show it off to the judges, whether workmanship or performance. It also means bring your best possible work.
