Own Characters (OC) and Own Designs: Is it Cosplay?

  • It's Ketchup with Kirilee time!
    At conventions you'll see own characters (OCs) and own designs of characters walking around - I LOVE THESE! I think the creativity is fabulous! However, when they are entered into cosplay comps, they don't always get the love they deserve, especially OCs, because the framework to assess it against is not as defined as a character taken straight from a movie or anime etc.
    But let's take a moment to celebrate the cosplayers who let their creativity run wild!

    The only cosplays I've ever done were OCs. I've never been to a con, or anything though. I just kind of dress up and make private tiktok videos. Yeah...

    I cosplayed as my own character a couple times. Usually when I got asked who I was, I received almost an equal amount of "That's cool!" and "So you're not really cosplaying". I say, if you made an effort to dress up and love your look, then your outfit is valid

    • @UrialTheDarkOne

      Sure, your outfit is valid...
      A valid outfit still doesnt make it cosplay. The only question that matters is... are you IN character?
      Because if you are then yes you are cosplaying.... if not then youre just wearing a costume.

    I wanted to make my own character called Rain, she is from my book I’m writing called Freak Show. They are a group of people who used to be good but all turned bad at one point. On a night that people called The Acid Plague Night, basically a night that there was an unknown chemical released into ocean, so due to evaporation and precipitation it was basically Acid rain that was poison. A girl obvs called rain was so sick of her family she wanted to breathe, so she went onto the roof and the acid rain didn’t kill her, it just brought out her inner freak. I so want to cosplay her. She has silver hair and bright green eyes. Tell me if I should cosplay her or not x

    @MalisDelnaria 5 років тому +3

    I've been cosplaying Malis for years now. She has four or five different versions at this point and I'm working on a new set of armor for her in the next year.
    My favorite thing to design are crossovers. I have Princess Merida as a Wildhammer dwarf from WoW and Timelord Ms. Frizzle. Currently I'm working on Grog from Critical Role as a female Diablo Barbarian. While this design is a mash-up of someone's art, it still has been fun to add my own spin to it.
    I can understand the difficulty though with OCs. Unless you pull of something that is cool in your own right there is a tendency to sweep OCs under the rug. It's why I started making crossovers and themed cosplays because I could to the creative designing without loosing the recognition factor.

    My OC(Charlotte) wears something an everyday Human would wear, But with a few tweaks here and there. Like her necklace has a key on it and has a sword and a halo. I wouldn't have the sword or halo, but i would keep the necklace. And i would just walk around campus looking "normal" until i come to my best friends and release our weirdness and roleplaying spirit.

    I have lots of OCS and I'm cosplaying one of my clown characters and another next year.
    What I'm doing for this year is my character Reihna. She acts sweet and caring on the outside but is VERY self insecure on the inside. She wears pink and white clothes and acts like a happy person. But when you know her secrets she has done things to herself and others that a lot of people would find concerning.
    The other character is Jadien. She is a mime who works at shows. She does simple contortion and sings and dance when alone. But even though she doesn't seem to talk much she acts very very bitchy. She doesn't even smile much. She a lot of black and white so sometimes red if playing in a special event. She has an alter ego (aka true self) named Marilyn who works as burlesque dancer and a pin up model (which is also Jadien's second job). Marilyn is very optimistic and loves things that are sexy and pastel and cute. She loves to wear things that make her happy and doesn't care about anyone's opinion. However the reason why Jadien hides Marilyn is because the people in her first job (not including girlfriend) are known for spreading rumors and personal information. Which is why she puts on this bitchy attitude and keep things private so no one knows her other job.
    These characters are both nice people but because of society they have to be two-faced people to blend in with everyone. I also have afew to do like Rosie, Isabelle, Jaylen and Brooke and I know they're going to be so much fun.

    I was making a slide for some of my OCs (they were all for a series i was writing as an assignment) and since you don’t rly get a lot of super fun assignments in ELA i was going all out for this one i was looking back through the slides when i realized i had an obsession with one character in particular her name was Liuelle and i ended up “cosplaying?” Her for Halloween 😂 and for the presentation i had

    I was kinda scared because I was doing research about oc cosplays and lots of people say that’s it’s not cosplay I just did not want to deal with comments on TikTok saying ItS nOt CoSpLaY because I’m kinda sensitive to those kinds of comments so this helped cleared things out😊

      @KirileeCosplay  4 роки тому +1

      Take it from me - I've just finished making a Tudor era version of Yoda - it's still cosplay and the right people will love it :)
      And if someone doesn't like it, that's on them, not you. (Another reason why I steer clear of TikTok)

    I’m trying to cosplay as my own character, basically he’s an army person who’s just outright arrogant, and I’m not sure why but he just really likes unicorns. I might make prop guns for the cosplay, or just get a tiny unicorn lol. He’s kinda like a coconut, hard on the outside but soft on the inside, (arrogant but once you get to know him he’s just straight up caring). I have the entire outfit in my closet and all I need is a wig and maybe a helmet. Oh yeah and maybe a walkie talkie or somethin.

    • @KirileeCosplay
      @KirileeCosplay  4 роки тому +1

    a lot of times with characters that are a bit bland, I like to change the design for the character. (Because I must look as flamboyant as possible lol) Still keeping the same color pallet and similar layering, and still recognizable. I think it’s a very fun experience to change character designs but even more impressive to create an entire new character! I have the utmost respect for those who can bring their own creativity to life!

    I'll be doing his sports uniform look since it's easier than making his hero costume. And I can just buy the sports uniform so I can do a less work. Hm? Yes, I'm lazy.

    I want to cosplay as a character I made but I was so scared of trying it out-
    I want to cosplay as a little reaper girl. She haves green mud-y hair with a little hat, a weird looking dress and a cool lookin stick.
    She was made inspired on a music that kinda of is a girl telling you to die??? I guess???
    And that's what she does :D
    She atracts people to death- and a lot of angels, actual reapers and etc tried to tell her "hey, you are making it all worse" but she is a kid and she won't stop because it is fun to her-
    I don't have any type of material to actually cosplay as her, so I think I won't insist too much on the idea ;u;

    Aha. And now we've come to the point where cosplaying preexisting characters in some time will be the thing where you as a cosplayer would need to pay the creator of this character to cosplay them
    So now let's come to this topic again:
    Cosplay OCs. If the fandom is your own - even better.
    Cosplaying OCs will be free, and their canon look is only up to YOU as their creator.
    Create OCs. Cosplay OCs.
    Here we are at 2021.
