Where do you all recommend getting cosplay commissions done? I'm finding less time to work on my own cosplays as my main job takes up more of my time and am looking to offload some of the work. I've seen about etsy, but am not sure where to start or what to look for.
Hey everyone, has anyone seen "death battle!" Is it really a crappy and pointless TV show? It stimulates people to argue with each other, enmity with each other and create wars between fandoms. And the result is nothing, nothing happens, passionate fans always believe that what they admire is the strongest, the best. The internal fandoms are all messed up because of a pointless battle between pixels :)))See, "death battle!" exist for no purpose but to cause war and hatred. Instead, why not send cosplayers to the ring and deal with each other with WWE. Mountains of money will be poured into betting and the winner will be thousands of pounds. Having money and resolving disputes faster, who doesn't want to? Hope a sponsor will see this issue soon.
What are you gulls up to now ?Previous thread >>10788696
Any of you niggas gonna be showing up to ushiko's bday?
>>10832819Yeah I'm probably gonna check it out cause it's local
What are we thinking about Kawacon? I'm itching to go to a con and don't want to have to drive to fucking Dallas or Houston>>10831616>and then heading to 6th street for the more serious stuffOnly if you want to be raped, robbed, and stabbed (not necessary in that order) and have the resulting video posted on Reddit. If you insist on going to that part of town again, at least bring Kevlar.
>>10834381>Only if you want to be raped, robbed, and stabbedAre you a pussy anon? I don't know who told you it's like that but I regularly go there with friends and it's fine.
>>10834453Are you the one that prompted this talk of Sixth Street? If so, we both did the same thing last year. People in the Texas gen at that time were all telling me it was a horrible idea too, like I had no clue about the types who hang there. That was the whole point desu. Ended up meeting up with an anon there, bar hopping and ringing in the new year there. Fun!
I hate this shit so much. I'm so sick of people ruining conventions with their publicized degeneracy; we get it, you people wanna fuck anime characters, that's the fuck why we're all here at the cons, but FFS I am so sick of these people ruining cons by being so openly sexual and deranged.I don't wanna keep going to cons if everyone's just gonna treat them as the otaku hook up center. Fucking gross.
OP, Its a gathering of horny degenerates you mongoloid pseudo-intellectual.>I don't wanna keep going to cons if everyone's just gonna treat them as the otaku hook up center. Fucking gross. Wagh wagh wagh! *rasberry*Conventions were literally designed as places for Otaku, Weebs & Geeks to go as a form of semi- religious pilgrimage for the sake of meeting other degenerates/weirdos of similar interests/taste.If you don't think approximately 1/3 of everyone going there aren't gunna try & fuck/be hella horny the entire time after being isolated from the world in their basements/coom-caves you are utterly retarded. >Just be glad their easy to spot/avoid & stick to their kind/orbit the normie thot cosplayers for the most part>>10825344This 3rd pbp>>10828026True, Furries should be banned from all cons, IMO. Also, Anyone willingly/openly associating with them.> We all know Rainfurrest was a "tame/average" furry convention experience...> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmULc5VANsw
>>10825336>I don't wanna keep going to cons if everyone's just gonna treat them as the otaku hook up centeras a former con organizer I can tell you it seems unreasonable to go to a con and expect to get laid unless you wear a "as seen on reddit" t-shirt
>>10825336Honestly you're right but you really did not have to remind me of Nemu's existence
>>10828655at least you admit to your degeneracy kek
>>10828655>Conventions were literally designed as places for Otaku, Weebs & Geeks to go as a form of semi- religious pilgrimage for the sake of meeting other degenerates/weirdos of similar interests/taste.>after being isolated from the world in their basements/coom-caves you are utterly retarded.I really hate it to break it to you, faggot, 90% of people at conventions are normalfaggot slightly-aspergers reddit types who live normal lives and have girlfriends. They just go there because they like star wars or naruto.If you genuinely think otherwise, if you genuinely think that the people there are like us, are like you, you're seriously deluded and/or retarded.OP is right, conventions shouldn't be made into normalfag hook up social events.
Please delete this I’m retarded sorry I was trying to be helpful
>>10826919i still love you anon <3
>>10826919Cute
>>10826918why is this so funny
>>10826919
Does anyone know where I can find some decent Chicken costumes for men in the UK?
>>10830456I do not. But u should def go to a con in chicken costume
>>10830503I was asking about the chicken costume for a friend.But I am definitely going to suggest that he does.
I'm so glad they left that maskless hotspot of fun, Atlantic City; so that we can now be safe with masks and vax in a nondescript warehouse in the middle of nowhere, north Jersey.
>>10823729Because they are magnets for retarded people?
ladies and gents, the three closest hotels to this shitshow.
i hate it a lot cause it marks the end of whatever con shit i had going, like the og group i had started going out to cons with is pretty much done and im moving out west so this thing along with katoricon is gone for meall i have is animenyc and whatever cons they have in california nowlike 2019 really was the last animenext huhsucks a lot cause animenext in ac was the sweetspot between a small local con and a big con like animenyc
>>10830234California has fanime, anime expo, crunchy roll expo, SDCC just to name a few. There are so many cons in the state you'll skip a bunch because there are too many.
>>10823682Wow
Do you carry a bag around with you for random shit (makeup, wallet, phone, charger, small purchases) when you're in cosplay?I haven't really figured out a way to deal with this, cause I don't really have the money to buy, like, a color/style coordinated handbag for every single cosplay, but I also don't want to carry a generic bag that clashes with my costume. But I also have too much stuff to comfortably fit it all in pockets..
>>10829263Serious cosplayers have a handler to carry their stuff. But if you're not the type to have trustworthy simps, literally nobody cares if your purse matches your cosplay unless the character in question has a specific bag. Just put it to the side/behind you for photos. Most everyday cosplayers carry some kind of bag or just use the con's swag back to store their necessities.
>Do you carry a bag around with you for random shit (makeup, wallet, phone, charger, small purchases) when you're in cosplay?Yes.>I don't really have the money to buy, like, a color/style coordinated handbag for every single cosplay>I also don't want to carry a generic bag that clashes with my costume.I think you might be more concerned about this than anyone else. Most people don't care.I use a messenger bag as my con bag because I carry more stuff at cons than I would on a normal day-to-day basis. Stuff like a water bottle, con guide/book and my actual camera for costume meetups and photo shoots. I either set it down or swing it behind my back when someone stops me for a picture.>Serious cosplayers have a handler to carry their stuff. But if you're not the type to have trustworthy simpsIt's nice when I'm at a con with a friend who will hold my bag when taking pictures and knows how to operate an actual camera but the kind of people who have someone follow them around all day carrying their stuff are just more narcissistic than I'll ever be.
>>10829275If I don't need to carry around a lot for my cosplay (some costumes like those with body paint or heavy makeup require carrying around a pretty hefty makeup kit for touchups), I make sure to sew hidden pockets in my costume for my stuff. No purse needed
>>10829362But wouldn't that be uncomfortable
>>10830257>But wouldn't that be uncomfortableYeah, maybe if you're doing bikini cosplays. But if you're wearing a normal cosplay that isn't coomer bait, it's just like pockets in any other garment
So I'm working on a Death korps of Krieg Grenadier costume. Got the uniform and shit like that done, but working on converting a 3d printed lucius pattern lasgun into a hellgun. I have an extremely basic idea of what to do, but I just wanted to ask some advice and maybe see where I can improve. Pic is lasgun in question. Apologies in advance for shit pic quality.
>>10825139Looks amazing
>>10825152That mask looks too unfinished (even for an obvious WIP). The white skull looks (no ofence) as an amateurish work of a grade schooler with blunt scissors, hot glue and EVA foam.I know it is meant to look crude, but many people won't - and, if you leave it this way, will get the wrong idea.I sincerely advise you to spend a while rounding those edges so doesn't look scissors-cut, then another while sanding the wnite foam so the skull looks a bit more 3d and sculpted. And when it comes to weathering, distress the everloving fuck of it.On the other hand, the rest of the stuff is very well done. Good job.
>>10829882Addenda: I noticed the first line, which was to highlight what needs improvement and why, might sound too harsh. If the rest of the post didn't make it clear, know OP, that your work is in general quite good and the post was NOT meant as a "you suck" comment.Also,>>10826556good advice with the tea, but skip the lighter. That doesn't look "weathered", that looks "kid tried too har to make his pirate map be real". Or weather the armor even MORE and leave the purity seal brand new, for contrast.For amusement value, do both. Leave the seal brand new and add the bathered remains of a battle-destroyed old one next to it, maybe poking from below.
>>10829883>Leave the seal brand new and add the bathered remains of a battle-destroyed old one next to it, maybe poking from below.Now that's a based suggestion. Costuming that tells a story is always good.
>>10825139Dude, there's nothing in common between a Lucius lasgun and a hellgun. Look at the actual models, what you need is basically a long box with some sci-fi gribblies stuck to it, not a blasterised Winchester.
I'll start with an easy one. Technically you can pull it off, but only once.
>>10827427nah you just don't got the art skills...>prove me wrong nerd, :D lmao
>>10828450Fake boobs btw
>>10828529Gold
>>10828028if you ignore the shooped limbs, sure.
>>10828633what are you 12?
Hello, I wanted to share all the cosplay I did during 2022
>>10828715Western cosplayer try not to wear lipstick challenge (impossible)
>>10828558Liar, everything here is clearly from Taobao, anyone who knows anything about making cosplay can see that. Maybe you made the Nezuko horn (which looks terrible btw), but if you mean like, Makima because you bought some existing clothes? Ya, that’s not making it. You probably can’t thread a needle. I probably sound like a bitch but that’s because people like you come along and throw your money at Taobao for cheap garbage that you then throw away, creating tons of waste, and making people think those who actually make their costumes are lazy since they don’t post content constantly. It would be one thing if any of this required any effort but putting in a credit card number doesn’t count. At least pay an actual costume maker in the US to support the art, but god forbid you spend more for something that is high quality and lasts since you all wear it once to take pics for tik tok and Instagram because you have nothing else in your life
>>10828459Are you really the cosplayer or larping as her to shit on this poor girl
>>10830261I'm the cosplayer <3
>>10830253Obviously I didn't make the makima costume because it was clothes I had saved, but other cosplays like Flora from Winx or Nora from RWBY I did myself ;)
Anyone have this set? It looks really great.
>>10823748>/s/ is NOT for /r/EQUESTS>Please, do not start a thread if you don't have at least 6 related pictures to post in it.You almost set me up!
>>10823747What' the name of the cosplayer?
>>10828349She goes under the name "Mirikashi".
>>10828385Thanks anon
>>10823747She looks great but the outfit could be better
Post your favorite handmade lolita garments or details that you've either made yourself or seen on social media!All I've ever seen posted on here are disasters or people asking for crit, so I could really use the inspiration.

Does anyone cosplay as Doki Doki Literature Club characters at this event?I hope to run into someone who recognizes me!
When is the con taking place ?
November 3-5 so it's a long time to wait
>>10830108Do you think Doki Doki will be there though?
It Gon Rain edition
>>10829915I mean it poured hardcore first day or so of ALA. Chances are a lot of places let their roof repair lax during the covid years. It usually isn't this bad. Usually you see a place have like 1-2 leaks max.
Anyone go to the nijisanji meet and greet or concert?
>>10829890Go back to /sp/ retard
Anyone planning to hit up the San Diego show in March?
>>10830101Anyone who went to this shit show knowing it was going to be on during the middle of a rain storm deserve to be laughed and ridiculed.
