>covid is over>too shy to cosplay without a mask
>>10907364Just wear the mask then
>>10907364Nobody will give you shit for wearing a mask. I'm in the deep rural south and even at the modest cons we have here nobody minds if you wear a mask. Even pre-covid it wasn't weird, cons are hotbeds of disease and half of the attendees are people who never see sunlight.
>>10907364Maybe try facepaint as an inbetween? Helluva/Hazbin is FotM rn.
Plenty of people still wear masks
I fucked up the title of the last thread and put Anime Weekend Atlanta.Anyone going to Momocon? Dates are Friday, May 24th through Monday, May 27th at the Georgia World Congress Center. Have any cosplay plans? Doing any interesting panels? Selling anything?
>>10907094The GWCC is right next to the Falcons stadium so every hotel within reasonable walking distance is a high end glass building I think there's a holiday Inn to the south but is a couple miles removed
>>10907142Be prepared for parking to be a disaster too. Parking downtown for Momo is always pretty bad.
>>10907007>>10907090Doesn't Uber basically exist for this exact purpose? A fallback so you can get comfortably hammered and not have to stress over being able to get back to your hotel if it's not directly on-site?I'm planning on going to Dragoncon in Atlanta and that's probably what I'm going to end up doing since the actual Dragoncon hotels are all sold out already.
>>10907316>>10907307My friends wanted to do a yearly tradition where we go to an Indonesian place for Sushi up the road, and that took about roughly 20~30 mins being grid locked including getting my car out of the Omni Center Valet. This year we've gotten a suite with a built in Kitchen and making a bullshit early Sams Club run to do our own daily potluck as opposed to dealing with that mess again.
>>10907316Yeah, but I thought the idea was that anon didn't want to buy a hotel room at all, not just avoiding buying a room directly at the con.

>>10906087Honestly, it's kind of an open secret at cons these days that Monica is a bit of a drunk. I've heard many times that she regularly gets sloshed and sits drunk off her ass at her signing tables. She reeks of alcohol and says some pretty inappropriate around kids sometimes. My friend wanted to get a signature for her daughter but they did a total 180 after seeing (and smelling) Monica.
He sounds like a manI like him
>>10906334This.

What are your thoughts on dark elves?
>>10904993Not as fun as green elves, but better than white elves, but all are better than brown 3D piggu thoughever
I like dark Elves.
>>10904993around elves watch yourselves
Your race, gender, height, or anything else because of your body shouldnt stop you from cosplaying a character. Doesnt matter if youre an asian guy cosplaying King Louis the 14th or a white girl cosplaying Storm.Unless youre a dude cosplaying a girl, then youre a faggot.

>>10903767Overall, wear what you want.Cosplays or coordinates do draw attention. Especially if your table has that specific fandom or you have some j-fashion stuff. People are probably not going to come up to you only because you're in a cosplay or j-fashion. They're going to look at your display first. What you're wearing can be a topic of discussion.I would only wear a mask if you're concerned with getting sick or you're at the con and you feel a bug coming on. People aren't going to care about your face. They're going to care about your art and products. I find masks put a barrier between communication, simply because of audio processing issues and loud vendor halls. So I prefer to go without one unless it's a need. I keep masks stashed in my tabling supplies, but I honestly hate trying to communicate with customers while wearing them.
Thinking of getting a Canon G3620 Pixma Megatank to print stickers and stuff, anyone have any experience with this printer?
>>10903767this nona >>8973228 asked almost the same question and got replied with good answers (especially when u don't wanna be recognized/get facially knowned)
>>10903767here is the thread in question (my bad the thread was archived)https://4chanarchives.com/board/cgl/thread/8956458#p8973228
>>10849420>>10847361adding on nearly a year later, the fact that whoever made the doc did this is infuriating. i don't want to sit here and wait three weeks to potentially see the IP takedowns, and i don't want to have to give them a portfolio and other information just to see it. it's annoying.
>the year is 2017>everyone at the con is checking their streetpasses every 30 minuteswe'll never get this back, and it hurts so much
>>10899898I still use my 3DS and have been playing pokemon moon lately. Sucks since everyone is on the switch now, I will nevee get one.
wtf i have a 3ds and im going to a con this weekend what do i do to get street passes
>>10907215Turn on your 3dsClose it and carry it aroundIf you're lucky and get one then the light on the upper right should glow green.What con are you going to?
>>10907223detourcosplaying leon friday strangely enough
>>10900384No lol that was the downfallLate 00s to early 10s was the only good time to go to cons
You need to learn how to vibe and talk to people at conventions. If you're underage that's one thing. If you're old enough you should budget for a hotel room so you can party and party with strangers and make new friends. The best part about conventions is meeting people and subsequently running into them at other cons in other years and it's all so fucking beautiful. It's the only time you don't have to suppress your powerlevel because guess what? They know all the dumb memes you do and have a lot of overlap in interests and other things you enjoy. You can ask someone why they're green and actually learn something about Startrek because they fucking love star trek so much they painted themselves green! SO WHEN I ASK THEM THEY ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO GUSH ABOUT THE SHIT THEY LOVE! I FUCKING LOVE NERD CONVENTION SHIT HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
For those struggling to talk with people, I'd strongly recommend the YouTube channel Charisma on Command. This channel has helped me relax, understand social queues I wouldn't understand before, and make friends easier. https://www.youtube.com/@Charismaoncommand
>>10907319Start. Doing. THIS.
>>10907319A lot of it is blatant PUA/self-help tier bullshit but he does make good points.
You can just smell the desperate lonely male energy in this thread. Good lord.
>>10902898yup one of the best parts of cons are the random interactions like that of everyone just having a great time together despite being total strangers. never felt more welcome than at a con and it was because con people were just so awesome to me
Post kumya themed coords, kumya collections, etc.
old one's gone
>>10905773going to another con as bro strider, seems easy enough as a first cosplay
>>10905773this is in my hometown and last time I visited the workers were handing out flyers at the front door because they were trying to unionize because it sucks to work there so much. The inside is really cool though
I saw a cute Gamzee cosplayer at a local con a couple of weeks back. She mentioned she was there with a Terezi too but I never saw them unfortunately. Homestuck fans are an endangered species these days but it's nice to know they (we) still exist.
>>10907214It’s kind of sad. I remember how crazy being a homestuck was a decade ago when I started going to cons. We were all over cons in swarms and you could immediately make new friends with other homestuck cosplayers. I miss that energy/feeling so much and I feel like nothing will ever replicate it. It might sound cringe, but I’m so grateful for homestuck. I have some really close friends who are also my group of con buddies and it’s all because I met one of them back in 2012 through homestuck
>>10907379I'm jealous of your experience. I know people meme about the sharpie thing and the general clusterfuck direction of the comic (especially post-Cascade) but there's really nothing like it even today.I'm going to be at a con on 4/13 and attempting a pretty basic bitch Bro cosplay so I'm hoping to all that is holy that I meet at least one other HS fan out in the wild.
Cosplay Butts 3Last thread: >>10786393
>>10905237Where?
what do you think of my 2b cosplay?
>>10906797ur a man
>>10903817>>10903840Bukkit BrownThis time the post I'm responding to is only a month old, so maybe they'll see thisAnd my pic is obviously Jessica Nigri
>>10907354She is so beautiful
spring is coming. share pale, pastel, light colored coordshard mode: classicimpossible mode: gothic (zero black)
>>10907041I think she should've done lavender shoes and done more with the cross motif. The heart bag feels really out of place even without the logo.
is being into cosplay at age 30+ cringe?I don't mean token master roshi boomer
>>10906902you bust out that fucking wallet because cruises mean big bucks if you're doing them back to back
>>10843947Naruto in canon is a 37 year old boomer now, anon.
>>10906902get a job on one
>>10906902just find your local cruising spots
>>10843944Anything is cringe if you're too self-conscious about it.
I am looking for white gloves like the one I'm wearing in pic related, except with a black bow on the top of it. I can't find any to save my life.
You literally already posted this in another thread. Is Google too difficult for you? Go fucking ask reddit you retarded whore. You look like shit.
>>10907323Buy that glove and hot glue a black bow to it boom done.
>>10907323Two things, one: When you can't find something for a cosplay that is ready-made, you make it yourself. That is the whole fucking point of the hobby. What you're describing would literally take less than 5 minutes to make , and under USD 2 to source. Second: It is literally March 26th; April is in literally a week????
last one hit bump limit
>>10907033It was me and YES
>>10907199Ayrt, I wore a sailor uniform as a middle schooler too but no one’s dressing up in Western school uniforms for “nostalgia” kek. They’re a version of military style that’s been dumbed down specifically for kids and worn exclusively by kids. It doesn’t seem pedo necessarily, just weird that anons insist it’s not about looking like an anime high schooler.
>>10907324School uniforms are way less common and are usually much more ugly, though. And for some of the people that like nanchatte, yeah there probably IS a cosplay aspect of wanting to wear the clothes they see in anime.
>>10907324seifuku and se-rafuku are different things, anon. sei comes from gakusei, where as se-ra is just sailor.
>>10907610You just made that up. The sei in 制服 means system/order as in uniform. It’s not the same as the sei in 学生, 先生, or 生ビール lol
