The Nameless Hero from Dragon Quest 8 seems like a decent first cosplay for me, simple outfit, and not too complicated.
Things I'll need:
Tunic:An easy part, just a blue long sleeved collared shirt with a tad of work for the lacing at the neck.
Coat: Not too complicated, might need to make it from scratch though.
Pants+belt: The easiest part of the cosplay, just need to match the color.
Bandanna: Almost as easy as the pants, just need a decent sized bandanna that matches the color.
Boots: A bit stumped on these, tossed around the idea of Ugg boots simply because of the similar style, although I'm betting/hoping there's an alternative.
Satchel: I own one that's VERY similar, although it's a dark brown leather with a tan strap and a different kind of toggle, so I'll probably end up finding one for the cosplay.
Sword: Probably the hardest part of the cosplay. I might be able to find a similar prop, but I feel like I'll have to make/pay someone else to make it for me.
Munchie: After a bit of thinking, this ended up being a lot easier than I expected, just need a little mouse plush that I can add the mohawkish hair down the back and the tuft on his tail.
Any thoughts/advice?
