I'm cosplaying as Bridget soon, and unfortunately I'm aware of how extremely over-cosplayed he's become. So I don't insta-fail, I ask;
1. /cgl/, what makes a win Bridget cosplayer?
2. What should I do to stand out from the rest?

ITT: Bridget cosplay; the good, the bad, and the jesus-christ-pass-me-the-bleach-for-my-eyes.

Just make sure you do your make-up right. Too many shiny-faced Bridgets. And maybe you could do one of the color alternates, like pink or black.

I'm actually really tempted by the black outfit/white hair version. But I'm cosplaying with a huge group and we're all doing the original colors so I'll look odd being the only one in an alternate swatch. However if the group plan falls through or I have the time afterwards, I might just spraypaint my handcuff white and go for it anyway.
I'm also tempted to whip together the red version for Christmas, haha... we'll see.

Don't make the ring out of thin ass craft foam. Use HD foam and color it to look full and heavy at the very least

I've used HD foam quite a lot now so that was the plan. I am however thinking of using craftfoam for the headpiece and for the armor on the shoes... or should I try wonderflex?

Also, for the handcuff, should I try weathering it or just make it look shiny and new?

Use insulation foam coated in paper mache/any decent resin or sculpting compound to reinforce it. also be sure give it a smooth finish and go for glossy black if you known your way around paints. Also don't be afraid to make it oversized and use fishing line to hold it up.

Also for the OP, make sure to use a variety of finishes in the fabric. Try to find shiny materials for the gloves and spats, more for a matte white and make sure your yellow and blue are very saturated or they won't look good in photos.

For the finishing touch, learn a few yoyo tricks if you don't all ready and you'll stand out a lot more in the line-up. I don't think I've seen a single Bridget who could actually yoyo. Barring that set up a prop yoyo with a metal rod for a line, that way you can pretend to do things like walk-the-dog or smack some other cosplayer without actually fiddling with the yoyo.

>>1437685Try to find shiny materials for the gloves
Wait, really? It doesn't look that shiny to me (main ref to the left). At most, I was going to go for a slight polyester sheen, but I was mostly going to stick with matte.

>learn a few yoyo tricks
I thought of this a few nights ago, I'll be youtubeing tutorials once I've picked up a practice yoyo. I used to be pretty good as a kid so hopefully I'll pick it up again.

>set up a prop yoyo with a metal rod for a line
This is genius. I was just thinking tonight that I should make two yoyos, and with this idea I can have one on a string for normal tricks and the other on a rod for posing (and to save me carrying the extra one, I'll store it inside Roger's stomach... unless I make rotary-blade Roger).

I don't really see how it's different from other crossplays. Everyone's always so hung up on the trap thing that they immediately go "oh it's a boy! it's superior!" but the only time that'll be true is if a REALLY convincingly feminine boy does it, which I'm yet to see.

For visual interest it's a good idea to go beyond the illustration and try to create a variety of surfaces in your outfit. A matte costume will look less interesting than one that uses materials that are both matte and glossy. I say to use the gloves and other black items as the glossy bits because the specular properties will show up more readily against black and you won't have worry about color bleeding in photos. Plus some shiny materials will help your skin look less shiny in bright lights (while the matte material will keep your skin from looking flat or dry).

Fail bridget. Dude, his whole fucking costume is shitty. from the fucking vans, up to the non-biker shorts, the shitty dress and duct tape cuff, and the ultrashit yo-yo.

I can shit better costumes than that.

Not OP, but interested in doing a Bridget cosplay and wondering about something.
I see tons of pictures of people who seem to be wairing a blue dress with a wide white strip in the front.
But from what I can see in the sprites his dress consists of a complete white dress with a separate blue layer on top of it.

Am I right about this?

The sprites make me think so, but all the cosplays I've seen are making my doubt my judgement.

Some people have done this accurately, but I haven't seen it done where it's actually looked nice on the cosplayer yet. Pic related.

I'll have to see how it'll look then.
I'd like to get it accurate, but if i honestly can't get it too look good I'll have to go for another option.
But thanks for the reactions.
Thanks

I'm suspecting that's another one of those accounts where it's an androgynous girl pretending to be a gay boy for more dA hits. It happens more often than you'd think.
If you look through the rest of his/her gallery, you'll find that although "he" posts lots of teaser shots of his bare back or his stomach, he never actually shows his chest. I'd like to see /cgl/ figure this one out... but not in this Bridget thread.

Anyway, although "man" bridget is feminine, s/he's still fail.
