2 Types of Cosplayers
We all know cosplayers take up a big part in the gaming industry. They have for many years. Almost every game out there has a set of cosplaying fans. They show their love and passion for their favorite game or show through their intricately designed cosplays. You could even hire some of them here on Gank to play or have a chat with. There’s many reasons why you should team up with them too. Some pay a lot of attention to the details of their costumes. While some just want to get the basic look of the character. They’re the high budget and low budget cosplayers respectively.
Low Budget Cosplayers
These are cosplayers who don’t have a lot in their pockets but they don’t let it hinder their love for cosplaying. Even if it’s just a bunch of bed sheets or some old trinkets they find inside their closets and drawers, they’ll use all that they could find just to be like their favorite characters. Usually the results end up different ways. Either hilarious or amazing, sometimes even both.
The hilarious looking ones end up putting smiles on people’s faces. You’d find these low budget cosplays all over the internet throughout different game communities. There’s this one Mobile Legends cosplayer who cosplayed as Aldous with nothing more than just a bunch of blankets, towels, and a cardboard mask. There’s also this one League of Legends Cosplayer who cosplayed as Yasuo using a towel and a belt. With some special effects and editing, it looked as if the character had come to life. It may not be as good as those big time cosplayers but their creativity is commendable for using only whatever they could find in their house.
High Budget Cosplayers
These cosplayers have enough to get the best for their costumes. They look up accessories they could use for their cosplays and sometimes even buy the full costumes. There are tons of high budget cosplays you could look up on the net. You could see that they’re willing to spend some dimes just so they could look like the character they admire. They make it seem like the character popped out of the screen and came to life.
Some would even go to conventions wearing costumes that are near impossible to wear. There are those who would take their time to shape materials and piece them together. Just take Iron Man cosplays for example. The details of the suit would be hard to replicate but for those with enough dimes and have access to the necessary tools, it’s just a matter of looking at a tutorial on YouTube on how to do it. Even if they just make it out of cardboard, it would still take a lot of time and effort to make, not to mention that they would need to make it so they could actually move in it.
There are more than just two types of cosplayers out there but these two types are pretty much the top. They do cosplays to show their appreciation for a game or characters, for fun to simply put other people in awe because of either how incredibly realistic looking the cosplays are or how they were able to make it look good with just some household items.
