2011 Contest Cosplay?

This year, I was SO inspired by the cosplay contest.
I nearly started crying in the middle of the contest...don't even ask me why.
COSPLAY IS EMOTIONAL.

I am DETERMINED to enter next year, probably in the novice section.
So I'd like some opinions on WHO to cosplay~
I want a costume that will really push me to advance my skills, and that would just be amazing if done right.

Here's my list so far;

Ciel Phantomhive (Kuroshitsuji) in his flashy blue outfit.

Spoiler:

Pros:
-Ciel is a little boy, I am a little person, u c u c?
-Pretttty costume ;o;
-Kuroshitsuji is awesome!
-Eye patch!

Cons:
-Shorts. My legs...were not made for shorts.
-I'm not THAT super mega hyper excite for this cosplay

Donald Duck (Kingdom Hearts version)

Spoiler:

Pros:
-It's Donald Duck!

Cons:
-Zip hat what?
-Body suit = hot.
-Doesn't stand out too much.

Spectra (Bakugan)

Spoiler:

Pros:
-I'm sorry but, THIS COSTUME IS COOL.
-His name is Spectra.

Cons:
-I hate Bakugan.
-That wig D;

Art Book Fai (Tsubasa)
(The one on the left)

Spoiler:

Pros:
-I could potentially use my Shizuo wig
-I LOVE FAI
-It's so pretty!
-Eye patch!

Cons:
-I am not a tall male ):
-Few reference pictures because it's from the art book

Ryuk (Death Note)

Spoiler:

Pros:
-Idk...it's Ryuk?

Cons:
-I would have to learn SO many new skills, the sewing part is nothing in comparison to the latex and weaving I'd have to do...

SO YEAH.
That's what's on my list AT THE MOMENT.
Any suggestions would be great, and opinions on this list would be greater!

Ciel phantomhive deffinatly looks the most awesomes!

Holly short?
Short=short? Lol?

Was Ciel what the Aussie winner did?
Body Zips are pretty awesome.

Nah, they did...something else...I forget. But yeah, similar style

The costume for Ciel is pretty!
Tsubasa Pic is broken brodawg.
Hmm... Spectra.... Is pretty cool.

Oh woops I'll fix fai~

I think out of these, it's mostly between Ciel and Fai. I love Fai, the only problem is I don't think there are any pictures of the patterns on the back of his cape...

Fai is rather pretty, and you're right, the Shizuo wig would work...
But Ciel is so gosh damn sexy.

He's like, 12. xD
He's kind of like Artemis Fowl except not as intelligent and doesn't really do crime afaik.

Hmm, if you were going as Donald D Duck... It would be like... some sort of anthro?
In which case, it could be pretty awesome if done right!

I think Donald is something I'd more like to do if it was in a group, but if I were to do him I'd probably do it similar to this~

Spoiler:

But with some changes, like I'd probably make a beak.

Heh, you'd have to master the Quack-Talking.
Why is it that I want to go as all the girly characters?

Likeee?

Also, I think I hate myself or something, I'm considering this Art book version Fai as well:

Spoiler:

IT'S PRETTY >.<
Why so much detailing Fai...

Yeah, I was looking at some of the Fai cosplays before, the robe looks pretty good if done right,

Hmm... My list is gonna be...

Scout- Heroes of Newerth

Spoiler:

I wanna run round pretending to backstab people and drink potions.
Lots of work.

Haruhi Fujioka- Ouran

Spoiler:

I like the Ouran uniform, and I wouldn't have to use a wig.

Xion - Kingdom Hearts

Spoiler:

I wanna do a Kingdom Hearts one, and again, no wig, but I don't actually like Xion as a character. Though I like the Unifrom.

John Egbert - Mspa

Spoiler:

This should probably be second, seeing as how much I like this one.
It also means I can make a freaking kickass hammer

This hammer

Spoiler:

So yeah.

Nooooice braw. When you gonna get started on that HoN one? Looks like it could take a while

... I just realized that there are 4 days of armageddon, and I have four potential ones.
2 and 2. Together. Equals 4.
Well fudge my face.
I have no sewing skills whatsoever though, so I dunno.

You could just buy the Ouran and KH ones? There's some pretty good places on the interwebs for them or get them commissioned
Would the scout one be for comp? There's not that much difficulty sewing-wise with that, you could just get someone to guide you through it, most of it would be working with craft foam and such?

Hmph, yeah mebbe...
Yeah, Scout would probably be for Competition,
How many Cosplayers play Hon?
I have some ideas.
//Wants to make them himself.

Probably quite a few play Hon actually

jaidan you forgot to put ork on your list

Nah, no Ork.
I'm too skinny, and I really really don't want to.

yea i know i was just putting it out there

And I was just explaining why it's not on my list.

So very tempted to bite the bullet and do this ;o;

Spoiler:

Trinity Blood! Me?

....
