Because your concerned about your own image or because it's embarrassing to do halloween in front of thousands of people at a convention center?
More insecure about how I look. I feel like I'm decently attractive but I'm no model or anything.

Start with characters that have more simple design and work your way up. My first cosplay was killua from HxH cus he wore regular clothes. I just put on a wig and added purple and white felt to some old shoes. All I used was a hot glue gun. Really simple.
Now that I've done a couple different ones I'm branching out and tried a cosplay that needed to use body paint. I learned about using hairspray as a sealant so it doesn't wipe over everything. I'm picking up little tidbits here and there but I do it for fun and nothing serious. Not sure what route you want to go with it.
I'm pretty frugal too so I don't really have a hankering to go too far with it.
Ha you're actually what inspired me to post this. I liked the cosplay pics you posted. Thanks, I think I'll start small :)
