/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

On one hand, I don't have any con to go to, so there's no rush. Plus, this prop is kind of the center piece for the whole costume. If it's bad, the whole thing kind of suffers. I'm already -1 for not having the same skin color as the character. There's no need to make it -2 with a lackluster prop.
On the other hand, I'm excited to get my first cosplay done, and I don't want the personal "buzz" to die off. And since it's my *first* cosplay, and I'm not exactly going to be seen by a lot of people, there's no huge pressure to be perfect, anyway. Tough fucking choice.
