Oh don't feel badly. I cosplay myself. I tend to try and cosplay characters I can pull off though and that I resemble a bit. DBZ is just a hard one to do that with.

Blond Launch in black, Kame Sennin lingerie with a machine gun may be the easiest, though I doubt people would think of that as DBZ cosplay. Maybe Xyex wouldn't mind it. :shock:

No-one would think of it as DBZ cosplay cause it isn't DBZ... It's DB! :P

I can't picture myself doing any DBZ characters aside from Piccolo. With characters I resemble, my options are kind of limited, though that didn't stop me during my first cosplay.

Wow, I'm surprised. Out of all the humanoid characters in the show you feel you resemble the green alien one most? You must look pretty intimidating.

I get lucky there, I have no outstanding features whatsoever so I can look like almost any character as long as I dress up like them. And for DBZ I don't have to do much with the dying of the hair considering nearly everyone who has hair has black hair.

Well it's not so much of I look intimidating, but more of other characters I could possibly do, one is obscure and I would have to explain to people who it was, another I would get a ton of crap for doing, and one who I just don't care for.

Ya he probably wouldn't. XD

Well I know I could pull off Videl or Pan, Chi-Chi too most likely without a lot of effort. #18 if I dyed my hair and cut it a little. Buruma would be better though length-wise, since she's got some looks where her hair is longer. Just have to dye it blue. One of these days, if I have the time and can get good make-up and a costume, I'd like to try and cosplay Zangya, Bojack's henchwoman. Never seen her done and it would be pretty cool. I've also considered Seripa as well, since I'd love to be a female Saiyajin.

In other words, I don't want to go dressed as Assistant Black or Uub, who I could probably pull off.

Assistant Black is the obscure. And Uub is who I don't really care for. As for the third, my cousin once suggested I go as Popo, and I looked at him like he was crazy.

Haha, I forgot about Popo! Yeah, a minstral costume wouldn't be recieved well :P

Though I think Assistant Black would be kick ass.

Are you the black dude from the Ultimate uncut featurette? If so, you could totally pull Assistant Black. No kiddin'. XD

No he isn't me. I don't know where that con was, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't Sakuracon (Only Cons I've been to).
