optimism_24_7 7 Posted January 29, 2013 So, I considered being Riku for a comicon that is coming up sometime this year... I want to be as accurate as possible to him... I'm five foot nine and I weigh 175 lbs. Is that too big? I have the hair for him and the blue eyes. But I need body specifications and where I can make the outfits or buy them. Please and thank you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shana09 5,769 Posted January 29, 2013 Just to let you know, Roleplay =/= Cosplay. If you want to dress up as him for a comic con, then thats cosplaying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AntonioKHT 449 Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Try some wiki for specific lengths. But as far as I know you'll need some muscles. You know, Riku is not thin like Sora Cool sig by the way, you have an excellent taste Edited January 29, 2013 by AntonioKHT 1 Ultima Weapon reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Koko 3,944 Posted January 29, 2013 you dont need to have the right type of body for cosplay all you have to do is have fun though i strongly recommend getting a wig and making your own costume Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ultima Weapon 71 Posted January 29, 2013 Nah, If you want a decent cosplay of Riku you need muscles just kidding, Anyway my cosplayer friends always make their own costumes so I don't know were you could buy it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruran 481 Posted January 29, 2013 Riku's eyes are more greenish and I thought this was going to ask for a volunteer as Riku in a roleplay :I You don't have to worry about body type with cosplay because that sort thing can't always be helped. But then again if muscles are an issue you can take this as motivation to pump iron and look HAWK. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mystics Apprentice 2,397 Posted January 29, 2013 I wouldn't go for unnatural muscles; that could look pretty weird. Riku's pretty tall, so I think your height is good. Are you going as KH1 or 2 Riku? As for costumes...it's hard to find authentic looking ones, but I think this one seems pretty nice (kind of pricy though--if it's an issue you might want to consider eBay): http://www.cosplaymagic.com/kiherico.html . Good luck and have fun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know, Riku is not thin like Sora Cool sig by the way, you have an excellent taste Thank you Hehe And I do have the arms and chest. I don't really have much of a tummy, but I want to get as lean as Riku. Haha you dont need to have the right type of body for cosplayall you have to do is have fun though i strongly recommend getting a wig and making your own costume How would I go about making my own costume?

Good luck and have fun! I was gonna try to go for the one from Dream Drop Distance.. As much as the one from KHII... The hair is extremely long, and I thought about using just my hair. But I do like the one from KHII because he looks... Fairly awesome. haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
