Otacool 2 Submissions Open
Submissions for Otacool 2 are open! Please read on if you are interested in being featured in the book and also if you are interested in being the character designer for the official Otacool mascot!
Otacool 2 (official site renewed) will be a collaboration with the largest Cosplay site Cure, Kotobukiya and Danny Choo. A ton of marketing yen will be put into this project and is an excellent medium to profile your cosplay work to the world. I can see many doors of opportunity opening for some of the folks who are selected to be in the book.
In November 2009, Kotobukiya and I published a book called OTACOOL - Worldwide Otaku Rooms. The book gained a ton of media attention in Japan in particular for its CGM (Consumer Generated Media) approach, where content is created through the Internet in collaboration with numerous dannychoo.com readers. More details about the book in the Otacool article.
If you are a cosplayer and want to be in the book, please go to figure.fm and signup for an account.
Then submit the following using the uploader.
- Your cosplay photos - Full body, upper body, head shots (2 or more of each)
- Name (including dannychoo.com Nick Name)
- Age
- Country of residence
- Years of cosplay
- Favorite cosplay character
- Your website/twitter or facebook link
- Brief statement
So for example:-
Name: Danny Choo
Age: 102
Country of residence: Japon
Years of cosplay: 50
Favorite cosplay character: Any oppai character
Your website/twitter or facebook link: http://dannychoo.com
Brief statement: Identify and live your passion and the rest will just follow - it always does.
- Please tag all your entries "otacool, otacool2, otacoolcosplay" (copy n paste everything between the quotes)
- If you forget to tag your entry with the above tags then your original photos are *not* saved on the server. We need high res photos (less than 3MB each) for printing so make sure you add those tags when you upload your photos.
- You *must* add those tags when you upload your photos and not after!
- Also, we will be looking at entries that are only tagged with "otacool, otacool2, otacoolcosplay"
- Upload all images in a single post! On your first upload you can only add one photo but after you hit "save" then you will see a thumbnail of your photo with "manage images" - click to add more photos.
- If its your first time posting, your photos dont appear on the top page until your account has been approved which is usually within 24 hours - sometimes within minutes.
- No watermarks - we cant use any watermarked images.
- Must be high res - we cant use any low res images for printing.
- Submissions are *open now* and you got until mid Feb but we may close submissions earlier if there are a load of entries.
- There are 24 empty slots on the cover for your face! The quicker you submit your photos, the higher the chance of you being on the cover because we need the final cover for marketing purposes.
- There will be Otacool events held worldwide. Depending on the area you live in, if you are in the book then you will most likely be invited to the event.
- Incredible cosplayers are very most likely to live their passion by working with other top brands in Japan on other projects.
Arms and installation is complete - good luck! And if you think this could be a good opportunity for your friends then pass them the link to this page too!
Yes moar! If you are an illustrator and are looking for an opportunity that may be the break you are looking for then you may be interested in coming up with the character design for the Otacool mascot character!
As you may already know, Otacool has turned into a series which means that your character design will likely gain popularity throughout the otakusphere globally - meaning that once your work has been recognized, you should expect more commission work especially from Japanese companies.
- Go to figure.fm and signup for an account.
Then submit your artwork using the uploader.
- Please tag your post "otacool, otacool2, otacoolmascot"
- There is a new "fanart" category - please post into this category.
- You do not need to upload original files as we do not need it at this moment. If your character design is chosen, Kotobukiya will contact you and work directly with you on the sort of poses that would be needed for the book.
- Release date of the book is in late March or April. You may need to get accustomed to working with tight schedules but this is nothing new as seasoned illustrators can tell you ^^;
- Kotobukiya will be paying you directly - the fee to be discussed between you and Kotobukiya.
- If you have any illustrator friend who you would like to have a great opportunity, please forward this post onto them ^o^
- You got until mid Feb-ish to submit your work but if somebody posts a "thats the one!" character then we will probably go that that due to the tight deadlines so do try to submit something as soon as you can.
- Feel free to submit as many variations as you want.
Here are some examples of how you can submit your artwork.
Would like to see details like the back and of any accessories that he or she may be carrying.
The mascot you come up with does not have to be human - but I'm biased for cute 2D girlies ^^;
These sketches were done by Azami sensei before our mascot character Mirai-chan was born. Read more about Mirai-chan in the mascot page.
Another great example of character design by Ayu (moorina) for the manga which I'm sure I'll get round to working on before I die ^^;
Folks who want to pre-order the book now can do so at Jlist and White Rabbit Press.
I will update this post as more retailers start to take pre-orders.

Awesome Danny!
I still didn't get a hold of the first Otacool book... hard to have access to it here in Brazil, but will find a way eventually. :P
A question about the submission: Suppose I have a cosplayer willing to let me act as her "manager"... since she doesn't know english or isn't very "internet-wise", and the one taking photographs is me.
Is it possible to do something like this, or does it have to be the cosplayer her/himself to make the submissions?
CEO MIrai Inc
http://www.dannychoo.com/profile/eng/
You can do it for them - but it will be them in the book and not you ^^;

Cosplaying seems to be out of the question, as much as I would like it too. (^^;

Is the mascot design for this particular edition (cosplay) of OTACOOL? Or for all of OTACOOL to come?
Are we allowed to submit more than one design? I have about 2 or 3 in my head. :3

Umm... Hope you don't mind, I'd like to clarify a few things:
1. Can I upload cosplay photos of multiple characters, or should I only post my best/favorite cosplay? It's been asked previously, but I just want to make sure I understand the rules.
2. I see some photos have labels/logos on them. Is that ok?
Thank you! *^^*

Is there a limit to how many photos we can submit? Also, is there a limit to how many costumes?
'Full body, upper body, head shots (2 or more of each)'
I noticed some entries only have one photo of the costume, and don't follow this rule.
Congrats to those who made it onto the cover. I wish I knew these were picked out before the photo submit deadline. If there would have been a deadline posted for that, I would have tried to submit my stuff sooner. And since I don't have access to all of my files every day.. this made it difficult. :(

I thought I have brought this up before on Figure.fm, but I'll do it again here.
Will the photographers who took the photos submitted by the cosplayers be credited in Otacool2? You did not mention this anywhere in the entries you have written so far and as a photographer I am a bit disturbed at the legal portion provided by the company.
Hope you can clarify the matter, thank you very much.

Im curious as to what you are using here. I think I see istat and some default mac stuff but the rest I have no clue. Guncannon?
