Has anyone here ever done Guild Wars cosplay?

Not a lot of people have because of the sheer complexity of the outfits. Once I tried to sew the Enchanter armor for a mesmer, but it totally failed.

Although I did put together a "generic mesmer" outfit, based on the essential, key elements of mesmer armor:

1. Lace/Embroidery
2. A mask
3. A dress
4. Fishnets

It was impromptu, but really fun, and it turned out super cute. I painted the mask myself but the rest of it is just stuff I've collected over the years.

Post yooooooooour generic Guild Wars profession cosplay?

There's a few cosplayers on here, actually!

I keep meaning to do a GW costume, but have never really had the time or money to do it; I kind of put cosplay as a hobby on hold a few years ago. Sadly. One of these days! Of course I've got other, quite huge cosplay projects coming up, so who knows.

That is also quite cute, I like the dress. I think my sister has a similar one.

Cailin, that looks great you made a wonderful job of the mask.

Yeah Tzu does amazing cosplays, she puts a lot of work in and knows some great techniques. Minamis ritualitst was lovely, and in th workshop she showed progress pics, that was a lot of work too.

I suggested to my guild that we went to Gamescon as commandos - but I dont think any of us have the time to make them

Guild Wars cosplay is so sexy, wish I could find a girl into that and I'd marry her in a heartbeat

My fiancee and I are hopefully going to San Diego Comic Con this year; if we do I'll probably put together some sort of costume, either Doctor Who or Guild Wars related. We're still not sure if we'll be able to afford it this year though.

Thank you!

kopefjkaejf hjkdfhsd COMMANDO COSPLAY o: Do want.

@Lithril: The only assassin cosplay I could ever make is the starting armor, the rest of it is so...pointy and sharp and amazingly skin-tight.

I'd love to cosplay a rit, or even a monk. And all the mesmer armor is so glamorous (rogue armor would rock to cosplay), but...geez, I have NOT had that much practice sewing. xD

Well Sylvari are human sized, so that wouldn't help Jedi out much.

I already saw a few GW cosplayers running around like a nice derwish and elementalist i have seen nowhere on this forum before. (guess you could find them in cosplay forums)

I personally will wait for GW2. If they have some nice recognisable outfits i might give it a try.

When GW2 comes out I'm totally cosplaying a sylvari.

I'll go to Joanns and get fake plants and EVERYTHING. Custom made wig? I think so.

Well, there's push-up bras and stuffing, if it's really that big of a deal.

Actually, you'd need epic boobs to go as any of the girl characters except for assassin and monk. And even then, monks have decent boobs, they just wear more modest clothes.

*Plotting about getting those abs into motion and dress out as a killer necro.. THEN you'd see a hippy necro.... (reference to how I draw my Necro)*

To me the biggest issue with cosplaying is the making of the costume. I just don't have the money to buy the fabric, and I'd have to sew it all by hand. ;_; it all depends on what armor your makin, making a male neco out fit for kabal armor should be too hard, elite scar pattern definatly sint but u better hav a bulge before going in :/// but always combo it up

a lil bit of washable black marker ( elite scar pattern chest BLACK)
something like spandex gloves (hottopic armwarmers that are pleather){just add a few spikes}

and elite luxon leggins and boots {good old rags and dugtape +some color}

not hard at all

What you put together is what I wear every day

Great none the less, thought. I was thinking of doing a cosplay too, but I would not make it myself.

I agree on the ele, they got huge boobs, so if you were to try pull of their body and looks it would probably be pretty hard. But there is always assassin, for us with the small ones

But either way, it doesn't matter. I've seen people cosplay who look nothing like their character and still pull it off. (or even horrible at times) But they are having fun. I think that's what it's all about~

Hehe. I have the opposite problem of Gemini. I can make the costumes but I just won't wear them in public. It kind of sucks throwing out my entries after the Halloween contests.
