Welcome Beings of All Sorts

Welcome beings of all sorts! Somehow, you have found this blog. :D I congratulate you on that whether it was through success or failure! My name is Madeleine Schmuch aka MadDog and I am an amateur cosplayer. I will also be your guide here. This blog came to be because I needed to organize my cosplays and constantly work on them so that I would finish them. I thought that if I had a commitment to post I would work more often and would not forget important things. This blog started off as being called "MadDog's Sewing" but has since then turned into a guide to cosplay and has taken on the new name "MadDog's Wicked Guide to Wicked Cosplay." That being said, I'm terrible with names. This blog should really be called "MadDog's Tips That She's Found to be Useful and is now Sharing on a Blog in Hopes That They Might Help Somebody Else in Their Efforts to Cosplay." That name fits this blog much better however, it was a little bit too long. Moving on, I've added new sections to make this blog more informative but they are almost all ongoing sections. (If you need information on certain things now, please shoot me an email. Email: wickedcosplay@yahoo.com) Whether you just want to follow my projects or learn how to start cosplaying, I'm hoping that this blog will be a help. MadDog out! :)

Random Cosplay Tips #3

I'm very sorry if I end up repeating things I've said in these posts. As they are random, I have no idea what I've said randomly before. I hope that you'll still enjoy these posts anyways though.
  • Ask questions of other cosplayers. If you want to know how they made that awesome prop, usually cosplayers are glad to share. (Seriously though, don't be scared--all it does is show that you have interest in their costume and can be taken as a compliment.)
  • Knee length hair can be really hard to deal with (no... really), so get used to it beforehand or choose a character with short hair before sporting the super-long wig to a convention. (Guys, just trust me on this one. My hair was that length for the better part of my life--only recently did I get it cut.)
  • MAKEUP! Every cosplayer should wear makeup--in the very least foundation--because your cosplay will look so much better in photos.
  • Don't be that person who has a completely beautiful cosplay and then wears sneakers. Pay attention to your characters footwear.
  • Pose! Right now I pretty much suck at taking pictures. Don't be like me--look completely awesome with an in character pose in yours.
That's all I got for now! MadDog out!
