A key focus in cosplay is accuracy. To look exactly like your
character, you'll need accurate images. I recommend Google, fansites, or other
cosplayers.
Artbook Scans
The BEST source for any video gamer or anime cosplayer are artbooks and
strategy guides. They have full dress renders and stats, but sometimes lack back
or side shots you need. However, you can play this by ear since no one knows
what the back looks like.
Screencaps
Screencaps can be fuzzy or unclear, but sometimes these are the only ways to
get views from your game/anime character that the artbooks or manga didn't have.
You can take these yourself or search for them. Use substitute words:
- screenshots
- screencaps
- screen captures
- movie stills
- FMV shots
Other Cosplayers
Cosplayers who have done this costume before you will probably be your best
unofficial reference. Most cosplayers usually have side-views, back shots, and
front caps. This is a way to see all aspects of the costume, but unfortunately,
you must ensure that their costume is accurate.
Use showcase engines mentioned in Showcases.
