There should be a cosplay section in here somewhere, btw... Anyways, i might be cosplaying as the scarecrow for Anime Expo 2008 this summer in LA. I was inspired by seeing pix of him. I LOVE HIS BRITISH SHIRT. It makes me think this game takes place in Britain... does it? So yeah. Its gonna rock everyone's socks off. Im actually gonna just buy some clothes that look like his, edit them accordingly, and make a mask to wear for the face. Think it'll work? I wanna get a mask like those wrestlers in Mexico wear and cover it in straw, lining all the way down my neck (where i'll have a straw shirt too). Then i'll cut for the mouth and put darker straw in for the teeth, and the eye holes will be cut out with yellow goggles inside for my eyes. Cool, eh? And i can tie it up from the back so no one can tell how i got it on. n.n And i'll get some psycho wig or something for the hair. xD

Doolin is in Ireland. ^__^ That's why all the characters have Irish accents.
I say go for it! I think it would be a really fun costume and it sounds like you have a good ideas to make it work. Do you plan to do something to make the mouth yellow too?
I'm not really good at costume making so unfortunately I don't have suggestions. I'm going to make my first cosplay soon. I plan to be Issun from Okami. :3
What anime con are you going to by the way?

I have no idea. @_@ Im just going off of the one picture i have of him in the booklet that the game comes from, so thats my ref pix. ^^; I'm going to Anime Expo 2008 in Los Angeles. I decided all four costumes already. Day 1: Tonks by Jubilations on deviantART Day 2: Scarecrow from Folklore Day 3: Ellen from Folklore (my mom is forcing me. n.n) Day 4: Monkey Jack Spicer from Xiaolin Showdown (i was normal Jack Spicer last year, and this year i wanna use the monkey staff i made!)

Maybe the faery tale book Ellen's mom read to her was originally British? In the opening it shows the book and Scarecrow is right there near the middle. Oh yes! I saw your cosplay photos on your DA. They're really good! Especially your Jack Spicer cosplay. I look forward to your Folklore costumes! By the way, which of Ellen's outfits do you plan to make? I've thought about cosplaying a Folklore character. . .pretty much the only one I would be willing to do other than Scarecrow would be Suzette. Ellen is too girly for me to handle. By the way, how would a person be able to cosplay Belgae?

By the way, how would a person be able to cosplay Belgae? It could have been. Would make sense, ya know? xD Yeah, my Jack Spicer is my best. xD I won a competition with that. They said it was so funny, i HAD to win. Lol. And my ID picture on deviantART is my unfinished Tonks cosplay. I'm going to be doing Ellen's normal outfit she wears in Doolin. Makes it easy, ya know? Cuz the scarecrow is gonna be tough, so im gonna just wear an easy Ellen outfit. Can you say a trip to the mall? xD And i dont like Ellen. She IS to girly. But my mom keeps complaining i never cosplay any girls. And my mom happens to LIKE Ellen, so i had to promise to be Ellen. @_@ Belgae...? Should i know this? xD *stupid*

I'm giggling at the thought of Scarecrow wearing a lucha libre mask. I'd really like to cosplay Keats. I'm holding out until I see his extra outfits though, as one of my friends described one of them to me as looking almost exactly like Alucard from Hellsing's red getup. Ellen's cloaks are also super cute! Gaah, adding them onto my already way too big cosplay list. >_> I also want to cosplay Frizzie or see someone cosplay her. And Suzette. Stupid Sexy Folklore costumes.

I have an old Alucard costume i can mess with to make it look like his. n.n And when i'm Scarecrow, you cant TELL i'm wearing the mask. Its gonna cover my face with straw so you dont even see anything but the green glowy eyes, mouth, and a LOT of straw.

I know! But just the thought of one of the components being a lucha libre mask makes me giggle! Using one actually makes sense! Or a gimp mask... Although a lucha libre mask seems like it would be a bit more pleasant to obtain.
That's what I was told. It's one of the unlockable extra costumes. He's also got an 1800's getup in one of the downloadable quests, but that may be Japan only?

But thats cuz they're easy to put on.
