Its really easy to fuck up a fursuit and the lines between cute and uncanny, unique and obnoxious can easily be crossed; unforunately, the fandom wanting to be as accepting as it is, refuse to tell people that their suits are creepy, ugly or whatever What are some tips for making an appealing design?
>>10420019I wish more western suit makers used wigs, too many suits are just tufts of fur for the bangs.
>>10446414I imagine its kinda difficult to manage a wig onto a suit and get it to look nice for more than just initially
Someone made the magical girl llama from Princess Connect.https://twitter.com/sachiko1108
>>10445875That's more of an issue with certain makers.
>>10448234Yeah houndsteeth has that issue from what I can tell too so its not just kemono makers
Worbla and other thermoplastics are expensive and a waste of moneycant we just make armor plates out of clay and then harden them in an oven? It will also make the armor feel rock hard and give it a bit of realism. If you make it thin it shouldn't be too heavy (you don't need to make it functional). also, clay gets a lot of its weight from water, so when it dries, it's lighter than when you worked with itworbla is like $80 a sheetclay is $3 a lb
>>10432413clay is to heavy and brittle and I'm too weak and clumsy
>>10444000>bumping this useless threadlearn2sage, newfag.
A few years ago I thought I would be very clever making a sword hilt out of clay and as it literally crumpled in my hands during con I realized why I'd never seen anyone suggest it.
>>10432413iron ore is about 4c to the pound. I'm going to smelt it in my oven and then pour it over my duct tape dummy. Should be great.
I'm too old for this hobby, I remember when people actually did this sort of thing because worbla/foam/etc didn't exist. There's a reason old things die off.

>>10445079Her facebook post was trashy and she kept bringing up that the admin was probably mentally ill or whatever. Both were in the wrong anyway.
She and her BF are fucking tools who have no reading comprehension whatsoever.but hey, TIL that blackmailing will get me back into the group if I ever get banned.
Getting back into the whole costuming scene after a very long hiatus (at the worst possible time, I know) and was I imaging things or didn’t there use to be an EFF/Elfia forum? I can only find the FB group and some old individual posts scattered across random other forums now. Is there any other kind of centralised discussion hub anywhere that I’m missing?
>>10355423I left this group years ago. You're all shitters and get a fucking life. Got to work at industry conventions instead of being a coomer going to meme cons. Imagine actually having an anonymous coomer party cult losing it's anonymity

Since I am 6 foot and 120 pounds, I wanted to ask if anyone knows any cosplays that would fit a skinny guy?Some I know of:>Seto Kaiba>Luffy>Yorha 9S>Lelouch Lamperouge>Ken Kaneki
Semi related, I'm kinda short, pretty good looking, and athletic, can I get some (boi)pussy if I cosplay 9s?
>>10441710>9sYou’d probably be the pussy in this situation, but sure, go for it.
>>10422909You should do Valtiel! Or a Slurper or the Missionary would be cool too.

We all seen males cosplaying females but I never seen the oppositePic related
>>10446141If you look at all the shota characters in animes every cosplayer is a girl. This thread is trash, there are so many women cosplaying boys and waify anime husbandos.
>>10446193I mean your right because no actual grown ass dude could cosplay ad those twinky boys but Im talking about non yoai/shota cosplays. Genderbend cosplays are more prominent than woman cosplaying masculine characters.
>>10446415>Genderbend cosplays are more prominent than woman cosplaying masculine characters.i think you need to rethink your use of masculine.
>>10439045i have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. i only see girls cosplaying boys never the other way around.

my gf used to be super into cosplay a few years ago, but her local scene has diminished her interest in completing the many unfinished costumes she has.How can I help her get back on her feet?
>>10445865do you share media interests, and do you have any interest in cosplay yourself? Since her interest diminished when the social aspect of the cosplay scene did, why not ask if she'd be interested in doing a couples cosplay or cosplay of characters from the same work, so you can also learn cosplay making skills? I would suggest this only if you're willing to actually help and learn the skills though, so it can be something you two do together. Otherwise you'd just be saying "here, have twice as much work." But also, maybe she's just more interested in other hobbies now. Before you try to push her back into it make sure it's something she actually misses and wants to get back into vs something she's not motivated to do because she doesn't find it fun/interesting anymore.
>>10446316>>10446322We live in canada/us>>10446367Kinda yeah. When shit blows over wed like to do a couples cosplay. She is getting back into it slowly, im probably pushing a good amount though.
>>10447369Then do talking over the phone or video chat to help
>>10445865Tell her to stop being a faggot

Bringing this up in hopes for more
What do you think about "cringe prints"? I think 9/10 prints look like garbage in lolita.
>>10447858>this post was made by BYSSB gangBut seriously anon do you not realize this isn't an AP print or is it your attempt to troll?
>>10447862Oh jeez I’m sorry everyone. I saw someone post a baby print so I posted some. I’ll remove them.
>>10447864Eh it probably isn't a huge deal. This thread was mostly dead anyway. I just assumed someone was trying to be funny not genuinely contributing.
I am curious. What gender is the average /cgl/ user?https://www.strawpoll.me/20686865
>>10447821This is known as the girl board for a reason. Plus we already have more than one poll that asks that and more. Fuck off crossboarder.
let's discuss this kawaii and casual lolita style sister
would a coat very similar to this be appropriate for dolly? i got a steal on a vintage one that's nearly identical, but i wonder if it's too large of a singular color and texture to work for dolly kei. i see fur used more often as accent pieces.
>>10447685It might do if you do things like wrap a shawl over the shoulders? I'm not sure though, it's pretty chonky so might take over the outfit
>>10447685Add some brooches, a shawl, or a big detachable collar! Use a long patterned skirt or dress so the patterns are visible and it leans into the oversized silhouette instead of fighting it.
>>10447731>>10447737thanks for the advice! i have some big pretty DIY brooches i made from some antique picture frames that i think would look interesting with it. i think the fact that its so bulky was throwing me off, i look like a big fluffy chonk with it on and a lot of coords are more fitted around the torso with corsets and such. i'm pretty new to wearing dolly kei so i'm still learning but i've been having so much fun shopping and DIYing for it!
>>10447743Np anon I think it could work with an outfit like the furthest left in >>10443787 and >>10443951 with your coat and the shawl etc as a replcement to the stole and cardigan
