>>10402581Why does it matter especially with a new thread? If something gets deleted just look in the archive. There’s been nothing decent posted ITT so who gives a shit if it gets nuked and a new one replaces it? You have some severe autism if you genuinely care that much
>>10402584True, may this thread get nuked then
>>10402324Hot take, but maybe she used to trace before and now that she's making money off of her art she needs to be able to demonstrate that she can draw from scratch on livestream for patrons and such. Thus deleting all of the old work so there aren't any expectations of that ability.
Is it true if you have a 'creator' account ig will randomly cockblock a post to tank your engagement to get you to do something (pay them?) Or did I just bad a bad post time/tags. Tbh I want to go back to a personal profile bc looking at the statistics is kind of stressful but I love the primary/general messaging function.
>>10402936I’ve never heard of that but IGs boosting algorithm is a mystery all in its own. I have a creator account as well and enjoy analyzing my stats but I get what you mean about it being stressful. There are days where my posts are shit and to watch my stats go down is a real kick in shins for no reason other than “MUH NUMBAS”
Couldn't find one in the catalog edition
What's my best bet for lining a HEAVY leather coat for wear in the summer? (It's for a cosplay and the way the world is right now I doubt I'll get to debut it before summer 2021)It's going to be real leather and quite long, about knee length, so I expect it to weigh at least 8lbs when finished. The lining will be in direct contact with my skin so I wanted to avoid polyester. I do have the money to line it in silk however most silk is too lustrous for the sort of character I'm doing and I'm worried about the fragility of most silk weaves.
>>10401975Silk is the least breathable natural fiber and won’t wick sweat well, some weave of cotton is probably your best bet.
>>10400245Shit, put in bin
>>10401975Rayon bemberg is what you want.

does anyone have a pattern for sewing a custom fumo? this is a little bit off topic but still applies to sewing/crafting, if it makes you feel better i'm a cosplayer
/jp/ would have an easier time helping you out here but a general search pulls up some reddit posts about it.
>>10402942>if it makes you feel better i'm a cosplayer no one cares. use the right threads instead of making your own, retard.

Any tips for wearing a silicone breast plate? Do you powder yourself and wear it on bare skin or do you wear a tank underneath, like athletic or moisture wicking fabric? How do you take it off with it snatching your wig cap (if applicable). Does the silicone on yours feel perpetually greasy? I got a tb pair that has that issue and the manu said its "normal".
>>10401431I chuckled
>>10402814You should wear it on bare skin. The sellers recommend using powder, but I found that for me it isn't a must. I think the breast plate should be the first thing to wear before butting on makeup and a wig.Take this advice with a grain of salt as I'm a breastplate beginner as well lol
>>10402897Thanks, good luck to us both i guess. Do you do any shading on the breast plate with contour powder?
is it true that cosplay causes depression?
>>10392804Sorry you look like shit. /sSeriously, just enjoy yourself. You're in control of your own emotions.
>>10381867You misspelled desperation.
>>10383412Ugh... go away with your priviledge ...
My currently lack of cosplay is what’s causing my depression ngl.
>>10381952Kek, that’s hilarious. Wish it would happen to more weebs

Is it weird to cosplay as an original character? What are your thoughts?
>>10402493I cosplayed my gaia oc years ago, some people recognized that it was gaia which was pretty fun.shame that site is broken, especially during quarintine
>>10402800You sound ungrateful
>>10402511I don't agree. After all, cosplay is dressing up as other people's OCs.I think the only real issue with cosplaying your own OC is if you're trying to enter a cosplay contest with it. Many don't even allow OCs.
I don't think dressing up as your own oc is cosplay. If you want to express yourself do it with your clothes and be the person you want to be or if you want to act do LARP. Cosplay for me is to dress up as a char from a known story because you love the story and the char and want to find people who also love it.
I think it's fine, the word breaks down to Costume Play and wearing your OC's clothes is a costume. I've seen people at cons wear thier LARP gear or some random military uniforms with a mask so if they can do that, I see no harm in doing your OC. Just make it look good and maybe people will gain interest in your work.
Post some anime convention montages, either cosplay montages or montages about the con itself.https://youtu.be/JYtrYd9zR28
Old thread hit image limit >>10318530This thread is for ouji and aristocrat (aka "boystyle") discussion. "Boystyle" is shorthand for "boystyle lolita" and refers to the masculine counterparts of Japanese lolita and, often, aristocrat fashions. There is a lot of overlap between these styles, and different people use different terms to describe them. We usually just use "ouji" here.>Shopping spreadsheethttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1j7sg2_7CvXUeIgZGGSLvJ9lUUuSVXhW8FlWWFwiv1Yk/edit?usp=docslist_api>Buttcape-sensei's shopping guide (mentions which brands/shops have men's or custom sizes):https://drive.google.com/open?id=12fA-VA2PkRctKPlYFsT3GnIba-Ytdt-RArDfLw0Bba4>Blogs for current boystyle releases, news, and infobuttcape[.]blogspot[.]comGoogle your questions before asking them here.Comment too long.

>>10401490I can relate to that. I gave up on ouji partly because of that. I still have a few pieces i'll sell to you for cheap, You want?
>>10401926Nayrt Scrote-kun but you’re obnoxious and shit up every thread you’re in and give off serious creep vibes

>>10399229At one hand I'd really like cosplayer friends because most of my friends aren't into the scene and I'd like personal advice on things.On another hand I'm a dude so I'm just gonna be assumed to be chasing e-coochie lol.
Who is going to the LBM, animagic or FBM?Any good stories to tell my lieben Freunde?Gotta love German weapon prop regulations
>>10331150I'm usually helping out at AnimagiC, since I know the organizers, but I haven't been to any of the others yet
>>10400677Thay have not updated their website or social media since corona.We have to wait und see I guess.
>>10400677Mag is also still standing, I know some of the organizers and they're all basically waiting for government/state updates.
Frankfurt bookfair is supposed to happen. There might be a few conventions left this year.I wonder how folks at connichi are thinking about their decision now.
>>10402444>I wonder how folks at connichi are thinking about their decision now.I sure wouldn't want to be responsible for a con that takes place one week after the ban ends.

>>10395180I go every year as well - a dance circle isn't the same as a mosh pitSecurity DOES come up to people and tell people that are moshing, as in, people that are running into others/body slamming into others, to stop (unless it doesn't last long enough for someone to get there on time to tell them to stop)
>>10395421dmed you my resume
>>10395931I fuckin died in a mosh pit and got separated from my friends when I was like still in hs lol. Happens all the time.
>>10395421Nice mog
>>10388164Oh man, I totally missed this but I see I didn't miss much. The only good artist on there that I've even heard of is kors k. I know of Moeshop from Spotify so I figured they were borderline normie shit and not something I'd actually expect to see at one of these. And before anyone says anything, I went in 2016 and saw Snail's House which was a pretty fucking great set.

>>10399960Why do you get the impression it was a selfpost?
If you zoom in on her prints in her actual shop you can see they are completely redrawn...the only pasting would be for continuation of patterns. It doesn't look to me like anyone else has looked that closely?Snowpriestess was mentioned right above vanhoagland's link and does the exact same thing so...Isn't it safe to assume that the commissioners approved the sale of the prints? Otherwise they would say something about it. It looks like this is the only fanart she even makes, and it's paid. Anon asked for recs not a debate lmao
>>10393233nayrt, but this is amazing.
>>10394826Needed a warmup so here we are!
>>10399070yeah no. Her art is good. Its one thing to be mad about the copying, but don't lie to yourself.
>>10401287I don’t know about that pic but I have seen the dress advertised as lolita so it is possible that they may have tagged it that way too.
>>10402600They are called neck ties and were a thing back in the 2000s on OPs, so if you want a dress with them that then you will be looking for something around that age.
>>10401163this would be a cute coord if she wasn't fat
>>10402508nta but I think your coord is great personally, but that dress doesn't fit you at all.
>>10402572the scalloping on the bodice is the only salvageable element of this entire look.
