I have a good feminine body but my facial structure. Anybody has any good idea for female characters with masks/partially covered faces to crossplay as? If my face is hidden I could probably pass desu (at least until I open my mouth)So far I'm thinking Ririka from Kakegurui
>>10784153Nobody will think less of you if you wear a facemask, it comes with the territory, even before covid.
>>10783996But is it gay?
>>10784175Not at all it has nothing to do with sex, its just clothes
Overall do you think it is better to shave the morning before crossplaying or at least leave a day in between to prevent all the itchiness at least in the more core regions of the body(chest, armpits, etc)?
>>10783996The thread was made just without a title.>>10757398
>>10784209I always shave the night before, never had a problem with itch
How do you feel about the assertion that crossplay isn't crossdressing because real women don't dress like that IRL?
>>10784426Who gives a fuck what real women do at any point in time?
How do I cope with wanting to crossplay as a character who is almost a full foot shorter than me and knowing it will probably look weird due to that?
>>10784426No True Scotsman can suck my dick & balls
>>10784175it's only gay if you make it gayand lord, do i want to suck rei dunois' dickit's a pity he went dark
>>10784426If a girl crossplays as astolfo is it crossdressing?
>>10784426It is sort of nonsensical because it devolves crossdressing into meaninglessness. A lot of female clothing can sort of be rationalized as having been male or gender-neutral at some point in time so crossdressing should be about current cultural perception and crossplay will be perceived as female clothing because the outfit was devised within the constraints of the current culture which views those items as female clothing and which are considered female clothing in that fiction.It would pose an interesting question as to whether it is crossdressing to crossplay in what would currently be considered women's clothing but which would be considered male or gender-neutral clothing in the fictional setting it has been taken from.
contribootin'I prefer wearing my glasses as it is a round frame but most of my cosplay has me wear contacts instead. I feel some improvement can be done for my eye makeup but for now this is the best I can do.
>>10785442yes. crossdressing is the intent to appear as the other sex. astolfo is just a twink guy in girl's clothes. if a girl is cosplaying a male character and that character is crossdressing with the intent to look female, then no, they're not crossplaying. crossdressing/crossplay is all about what your actual sex is and what sex you're trying to appear as. just wearing the clothing of the opposite sex doesn't make it crossdressing/crossplay if you're not trying to appear the opposite sex also. that also includes the character. if you're cosplaying a male in a specific outfit who's trying to look like a woman, you're crossplaying because you have to crossplay as the character, but if you're cosplaying a different outfit of his, it's just cosplay.
>>10786117A big thing would be to pluck your eyebrows. If you want to keep them for boymode there's a method for gluing them down and painting over them.
>>10786149Crossdressing I'd say it's more what you appear as externally to others, and not your intent. Otherwise you can get guys who are in full drag, fake tits and all, who can say "I didn't intend to look like a female therefore this isn't crossdressing." We can debate what defines 'crossplay' when it comes to a character. But regardless, if a guy is dressed up as a male character who is dressed up as a girl, that means he are dressed up like a girl, which means he is crossdressing.
>>10786153that's why i said clothing, drag isn't simply clothing to begin with. and crossplay is totally about intent. twinks that people mistake for girls aren't suddenly crossplaying just because they trapped successfully.
>>10786171But that's absolutely crossdressing. You can't just walk around in a schoolgirl uniform and say it's not crossdressing.
Roberta from Black Lagoon. I blew money on these glasses, I’m gonna use them, damn it!
>>10786171>>10786189Crossdressing isn't even real since it's made up bullshit that certain clothes should be worn by men or women. Look at victorian era men in europe, they wore dresses!
>>10786195There's nothing wrong with cross dressing. I'm not going to say they "should" or "shouldn't" wear whatever. But to say it's not cross dressing is just ignoring reality.
>>10786189brouhous aren't crossdressing.
>>10786152thank you! do you have any preferred tutorials? a quick search shows that nyx eyebrow glue is a popular choice.
>>10784153Anime girls in masks don't seem too common. The only ones I can think of from the top of my head are Kuki Shinobu (genshin impact, lower face mask), and Sakamata Chloe (hololive, upper face mask).That said, if you only need the lower face covered, consider winter outfit characters with scarves covering the neck and lower-face, or "ninja characters", who tend to cover their mouths.If you need a full-face mask, there are also characters that wear masks somewhere around their head/neck normally (e.g. certain miko characters, girls in festival wear, oni's, RO365 Mod III from Girl's Frontline etc). You could try one of these characters, dressed as if they chose to wear the mask instead.
>>10784153Any female character from Tokyo Ghoul will have a mask you can put on
posting again.I want makeup like pic rel?How did she make her lips look like that, what exactly did she do?How do i make my esebrows look like that?How am i supposed to put eyeliner on the edge of my eye? I always end up having a small uncolored line just at the edge, on the bit where it curves into my eye. Do i finish that with mascara or am i missing something?Does she have any eye shadow at all?What did she do to make hee face look like that?Is there a way to make my eyebrows look like that without too much plucking or shading?How do i make a synthetic wig perfectly 100% straight and how do i style it to look just like that?Also how is she flexing her face to have that expression, she's not just relaxing it?I want to know how to atleast have a bitch face
>>10786117I saw you at AX I think.
>>10787945Yup, that was me! I forgot what that line was for; all I remember was that it was for a premiere in the main hall. Since AX, I noticed that the hair ornaments on my wig were on the wrong side, and it took a while to eventually notice. Your photo confirms it, since mirrors and photos taken in a selfie mode tend to be horizontally flipped. Thanks for that.
what's an easy first crossplay? (that still looks decent)
Does anyone have a good guide on getting a smooth face? I am apparently awful at shaving, even when I'm using the sharpest razor and getting close enough to get frequent cuts it still has visible stubble even if it feels smooth. I think I need a combo process of how to get as much hair gone as possible and makeup to hide it too.
>>10788397Depends on what you look like. What's "easy" to cosplay for one person might not be so easy for another.
>>10788495Personally, because I didn't want to deal with shaving while at AX, I decided to just pluck it all off the day before. Make sure your face is clean before attempting and take your time.
Should I try to wear enough makeup to pass or just wear a mask and a lot of eye makeup? Do people care about the face being visible that much? Idk how feminine I can look I've got a strong jaw but no chin and figure it might be best to just cover it up.
>>10788582wear a mask and put a lot of effort in your eye makeup
>>10788584I do this, mask feels like cheating how well it works
>>10788540Uhhh very short, white, slightly below average weight for my height. Idk what else is all that important
I want to wear this Cosplay to a con but I afraid the dress might be a little too short?
How do I get over the massive wall of anxiety about my friends seeing me wear this stuff?
>>10789018the whole dress fits you poorly it sits way too high and you look weird
>>10789837Do not interact with them.
>>10784175No. I have a trad wife and 3 white children. I go to church every Sunday and confess my sins. Just because I let the twinks at the gym blow me while I watch straight porn doesnt make me gay. Going to a con and fucking some troo doesnt make me gay. I am doing my part to save the white race and be an upstanding Christian. Go and my family will forgive me my sins, just so long as I do not guve into cultural marxism and identify as gay. Unfortunately god gave me a high sex drive and even though I fuck my wife twice a day and have a side piece at the office I use for head or getting a nut off doesnt make me gay. Even if I never qcted my thoughts and lusts wouldMake me a sinner, thats why I need God. But as long as you never identify as gay and have white children, youre doing the Lord’s work
>>10789955Probably bait, but read 1 Corinthians 6:9-10>9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.You are saved by grace through faith, and not by works, but your actions speak of a man who rejects the Holy Spirit. Be careful that you are not deceived.>>10788397In my experience, anything that covers a fair bit of skin. Don't pick some character in a crop top and booty shorts because it's going to be exceptionally difficult to make it look feminine. Furthermore, try to find a character with a mask, or just wear a face mask. It may look a little out of place, but good face makeup is another really difficult part for first-timers, and a mask is more appealing than a masculine face in this context.
Keep up the HRT. Keep fit. Never give up.Don't worry transbros, we're all gonna make it.
Is it possible to have a gf and pursue this hobby at the same time?
>>10790330No. You're gay.
>>10790330I've done it.>>10790247cope. not everyone who wears the skirt wants to be a homosexual or a transgender.
>>10790592I see two men here
>>10790247nostrils look fucked up if youre going to get a nose job dont cheap out on it
>>10790783Let's see your photos.
>>10790821That won't change the nose
>>10790826You're judging people who look far better than you.
>>10790330You just have to choose the right girl. I found mine in the theater department.
>>10790330I mean realistically it's just costume design, if you make your own stuff ofc
>>10789970I am not a homosexual. You could arguably call me a sodomite, but anyone whi masturbates is one too. Even my lust, Which is natural and created by God, would send me to hell without his grace. Stop trying to force me to be gay. I am not gay
>>10791132Bro you dress up as women don't be so preachy
>>10791132gay as fuck
hi anons. I've mostly done low effort cosplays before but I'm thinking of properly crossplaying as 25ji Miku as in the picture. For someone with a skinny and slightly masculine build, do you guys think it would be worth giving it a shot? I'd probably put together some tights instead of the sock and bare leg though.
My breastplate with huge titties finally came in. Now I just need to decide on a cosplay to show it off.
God wants you
>>10791227I do not, I have nver and will never. Fucking a decent trap does not make me gay. I am married with 3 white children
>>10791364>married with 3 white childrenSure you are
>>10791364faggot
I can't crossdress convincingly anymore because I got into bodybuilding I'm turning into gigachad zyzz
>>10792030I gave up all my muscles so I can crossplay and be more androgynous in public.
>>10792045You will never be a woman.
>>10791846I really don't get that. I am biologically straight. Just because I fuck a feminine man how does that make me a gaylord? Do you call trannies a female? I don't.
>>10792122yes to both. you're gay. penis = male. hell, the reason it's called a trap is because it's tricking you into being gay. you are probably biologically bi then, faggot.
>>10792123So fucking a chiseled hairy transman is straight because there's a pussy?
I hate women so this thread is for me.
>>10792129yes kek. transmen are women, transwomen are men. ugly mexican women with mustaches are women, and feminine asian men are men. stop trying to justify being gay.
jesus christ these threads really have fallen off during the past years. I remember when there would be earnest advice and answers to questions.
>>10792061thank god for that, I hate women.
>>10792593Well fine, what's the advice on diy foam hip/butt forms vs buying?I need some sort of feminine enhancement for my figure and while I kind of want to make it myself so I can go over the top, I imagine making them smooth and even would be a challenge.
>>10793408it's easy. I used an old foam mattress.to wear it you're gonna need a slightly larger than you need pair of leggings, then over that you put on some tighter leggings, stockings, or whatever to hold the shape. I haven't tried this tho cause i dislike skirts, i just put on a pair of sweatpants over it and it looks fine
>>10793437Nice, thanks for the tip!For the breasts, I'm probably going to save up for a prosthetic. Seems like movement is more important up top, so having gel or liquid or something is the move.
>>10791347post photo
>>10793408Smooth is easy- turn the side you carve toward your body.
>>10791307>do you guys think it would be worth giving it a shot?Sure, why not?>I'd probably put together some tights instead of the sock and bare leg thoughJust stay true to character, sock and bare leg. Show some leg anon.
What are good crossplays for slightly muscular lanklets?
>>10795001Mount Lady is the first one that comes to mind. She's a superhero, so a little muscular would be okay. Build yourself some nice hips and you're off to the races...
Did one of Jeanne a little bit ago. planning to do Yor for the con later this month~
great, It's already hard as it is to slip this stuff in when you are still living with parents, hard enough ordering this stuff for 100+ euros from japan and paying 40 euros in customs in secret but they just HAD to completely fuck my order up and send me the wrong stuff which doesn't even fit. /useless rant
Has anyone ever used any shapewear stuff if you have very low hips?
im a fat fag but im sick of not cosplaying because of it. im cosplaying catra and just got the outfit but the shit is way to small. Am I screwed or what?
>>10797944shirt not shit everything else is fine its just the shirt
>>10797687Wym low hips?Just make it out of foam
Weird question, but whatever. Do other anons put on bras/camis when crossplaying? If so, would it really be necessary when you're crossplaying a character who's actually small chested?
>>10790330I've crossplayed a couple times at cons, relieved absolutely 0 compliments from pretty girlsEvery time I cosplay a pretty boy character I receive 100+ compliments a dayAnd to be honest pretty boys are better anyway fujos are based trannies are cringeGirls crossplaying as guys almost always look better than the reverse too
