Cosplay Ideas

Alright, I still have no idea what I'm going to do in terms of an Otakon cosplay, since my original plan of Blackquill kind of fell through, it appears.  So I'm thinking about different things, trying to take into account the amount of time I have, the level of skill I have/my friends have in terms of making things, and the amount of money I want to spend.  Though truthfully, this list will probably be more...what I would like to do at some point, maybe.  Or just things that I'm still debating for now or for the future, at some point.

Lucina from Fire Emblem: Awakening
someone (unknown right now) from Game of Thrones
Elsa (mid transformation) from Frozen
Sho Minamimoto from The World Ends with You
Female Demon Hunter from Diablo III
Kurisu Makise from Stein's Gate
Cornelia li Britannia (R2) from Code Geass 
Blind Mag from Repo! The Genetic Opera
Katniss Everdeen (wedding dress) from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
Teresa of the Faint Smile from Claymore

I might think of more, but these are the ones on my mind at the moment.  Elsa I want to do, but I know there will be so many of her at Otakon, which is why I'd want to do her mid-transformation sequence, but that is probably outside anyone's skill set.  The female Demon Hunter is who I really wanted to play, but I want to include armour, meaning that I can't really do that this year.  The same thing goes with Teresa, who has been on my mind for the past...three years, maybe?  But I would want her armour to be perfect, and I don't think that is capable right now.

Minamimoto is surprisingly the only male on my list (I say surprisingly because I usually crossplay; last year was the first year in a while where I cosplayed a woman), and I am more seriously thinking about him since he might be one of the easiest on this list in terms of clothing.  As in, I probably could buy rather than commission most of his stuff.

Cornelia, Lucina, and Kurisu might be possible as well, with Kurisu being the easiest of those three.  However, there is a weird emotional thing I have with the idea of cosplaying Kurisu (ex and I thought about cosplaying her and Okabe sometime, so...yeah, derp).  And Game of Thrones person is a toss-up, considering I don't know who I would want to be from that.

If I were to go the Katniss route, I would only want to do her wedding dress, or her mid-transformation into the mockingjay dress.  Which again, might be outside the available time constraint.  And if I went to Blind Mag, I'd want the hooded outfit she is in when she visits Shilo, though that would require contacts (her eyes being her defining feature) and a fuck ton of eye makeup, which I'm unsure if I want to deal with.

Hopefully I'll soon decide on one of these, otherwise I'll have to recycle an old costume or just go without one.
