Not a con goer question, but I don't see a help thread anywhere so I'm asking here, what is this technique called where there's a pattern on a flat color but it's part of the same layer like pic related

Many of the people who post online about others being 'too old' for conventions are really just projecting their own regrets and justifying why they've given up on their dreams.

You might not experience a con the same way a 16-year-old attending for the first time does. But is that really what you want from a convention as a more mature person? Who do you think organizes these conventions? The vendors, the artists, the staff? It's not high schoolers. Buy that high quality cosplay now that you have the money for it. Participate in competitions, you might find new meaning in the hobby. Have you considered joining as a volunteer? See if you like that.

Here are a few examples that have lifted my spirits. The best cosplayer I know personally is in her mid-30s. Most participants in the top-tier cosplay competitions in my area are in their 30s. I once saw someone cosplaying an anime high schooler and assumed she was way too young to talk to. Only to later realize, through social media, that I already knew her and she’s in her late 30s. There are even regulars in their 50s who show up at every con. They do age-appropriate cosplays and are always a joy to see. Polite, creative, and passionate.

Personally I love to hear stories from the con scene before I got involved, maybe do that? Don't let some ignorant 16 year old decide your future based of their own teenage angst. You grow with your passions, not out of them.

Cons are for teens and 20 year olds. If you aren't that, or mentally that then you are told old.

>/cgl/’s Official Hall of Shame.
You know 99% of the stuff that's happened on or to gulls at cons is a drop in the ocean compared to the flood of shit spewed from other communities. The drama rule was only implemented here due to the fact anons, who may or may not have even been at the event, kept stirring shit for lol's against anons/namefags/etc. As an older fag from 2012 and here still now, there has been a lot of shit that's all boiled down to "shit I made up" or mountains out of mole hills. Hell, I am sure when /mlp/'s events take the crown for cringe stories that you're most likely looking for. Most every story on cgl these days I've heard and followed up on posted on cgl came out as a complete nothing burger or amounts to 1 of 2 things;
1) someone slept with someone else this makes said person a slut, sexpest, rapist(if alcohol was consumed during the day at any point), or creepy individual
2) some anon ripped off sharing a room and "forgot" to pay them back or straight up skipped a bill causing them to get shit on for everything

Long gone are the days of tumblr drama, horny orbiters still exist but have mostly fucked off to bigger communities on discord, political /who are you voting for/ spats, and so on. This thread would have probably had some things to talk about pre-covid, but if you're reaching for events that far back you might need to seek help. Probably the only notable thing that's happened on cgl was that guy in the midwest who supposedly killed himself in front of others because he was about to turn 30 or something. Outside of that you might actually just want to lurk reddit for drama and cringe

>>10956206

>Same group that is the reason why drama is banned on cgl,
No, drama was banned mostly due to the California gulls drama overflowing as that state had the most cons yearly and everyone had some random story. You must be new around these parts.

OC cosplay is fine, but if OP is talking about picrel in the OP. Steampunk psuedo furries are among the most annoying faggots out there

>>10957824 (OP)
cosplaying an oc isn't inherently hubris. Every cosplayer goes in knowing they want attention from a cosplay crowd fandom. I dressed as Nathan Drake and got a lot of compliments. then I cosplayed as an obscure Resident evil character and more people thought I was Leon and didn't get much recognition at all.
So many people cosplay now to act as pseudo models, especially girls with big tits. Gaining a following to become a micro celebrity.

>>10957824 (OP)
steampunk is always cringe

>>10957824 (OP)
If your OC was actually good, other people would be cosplaying it instead of you

I am and I really hope those people aren't going to be there. I stopped going to all those cons in Illinois because all those gulls just start shit whenever they go.

Is this stereotype even real? One of the people in the group is a pro costume maker and goes to cons all the time, and she says she doesn't really see it happen often, but she also doesn't go to "gooner cons" as she says. I'm new to this entirely and don't know which cons are goon traps and which are normal.

The human eye and camera eyes capture light differently. You will never see the blade light similar to what you capture in a video camera.

If you do, you'll be literally staring at a sun.

Anyone here ever made a stormtrooper or clone before? I've seen a lot of options online, ranging from buying pricy vacuum formed panels, to 3d printed components to eva foam shit. I'd either be opting for a generic phase 1 clone or Captain Rex.

I have made 3d printed armor/helmets before and honestly, they are a pain in the ass. It took me a good week of sanding and smoothing every evening to make pic rel for a NCR ranger - and it still didn't come out too good. My printer isn't large enough to print a helmet in one go, and the seams are still visible under certain lighting. I feel that'd be really bade for the glossy white finish of clone armor for all the body panels.
