>a real pumpkin
god i hope you choke on its pulp

>>9996488
because why?

>>9996549
>>9996558
bam do it

Mine is bayonetta. I will never be 2/3 leg enough.
also any characters with pants because my thighs are big.

>>9996572
It's possible to pull Bayo off even with average leg length! I've even seen cosplayers with short legs be able to pull her off by wearing really high heels to give the illusion of legs for days.

WYA ANON

I'd really like to cosplay Shep since I love Interstella 5555 so much, but his suit is too complex for me and I don't think I555 is really all that recognizable outside of the Daft Punk fandom.

>>9996588
I've wanted to do Stella but haven't because body paint is hell and I wouldn't be comfy walking around a con in her crotch cutout dress. I've thought of doing her award show outfit (or maybe compromising and doing the white version from the Shep dream scene) but I don't think I'd be recognized and it does kind of suck when people have no idea what you're doing.

going to bump this now

Stabilize the blade by having the middle layer of the hilt be made out of fiberboard or basswood, then layer your foam on top of that.

What do I need to type into Google to pull up Lady's undershirt here? Like, what are the frilly bits at the bottom of the shirt?

>>9996610
Cutwork embroidery

>>9996337
I've done it. It ended up working for the head size but had some predictable things to look out for:
>didn't sit as securely as before -- just pin it in more intensely
>wig fibers were getting parted over a larger area, so the wig cap showed through -- added more wefts right above the ear area

>>9996614
NAYRT, but thanks for the term! Always helpful when people in the help threads know of really specific/obscure techniques.

>>9996009
>a Tracer accelerator that could look okay from a distance but doesn't have to be super good
>dog bowl or other shallow bowl for the light mount
Pic attached, a chronal accelerator that looks recognizably like Tracer from a distance, but simplified down.

>>9996071
fuck off

>>9996071
Bumping for interest

Tell me more

>>9996071
What do you mean by improve? If you want advice on how to make the costume, hit up the help thread with specific questions but if you're talking about changing the character itself, this isn't the place.

>>9996347
This is the case with a lot of girls in my comm who whine about being "poor". They're so dramatic about the "kidneys" they had to spare to get their measly pieces of brand that they barely ever wear, while they constantly drop money on weeb shit. I can't take them seriously if I cared to try.

>>9996114
Having seen it in person it actually looks pretty good, especially when combined with other accessorises like pearls or clips

>>9996158
I'm>>9995983, you bring up great points, and I completely agree with you. I wish comms could kick these people to the curb. There's too many libfems in lolita to do so though.

>>9996114
That design looks like you put on a bonnet retardedly. So ugly, like someone crossed the AB bat bonnet with the world's shittiest oversized chiffon maid headdress

>>9996280
>>9996347
I know so many people who blow all of their money on things like eating out or expensive makeup and then have the nerve to turn around and complain about how costly cosplay/lolita is and how they never have money for it.

There's a girl I know whose mom gives her money for cosplay in addition to paying for her rent, food, and college tuition, but she blows all of that money on dumb shit and cries about how she works ~so hard~ but can't afford cosplay anyways.

>>9995874
no

>>9995874
I have a question, ouji-sama!!!! <3 <3 uwu
Would you kindly fuck off or learn to integrate?

Every Tokyo Ghoul cosplay ever
>80%photoshop
>20%make up

>>9995701
how on earth someone actually thought this was okay

>>9996128

oof this hurts

>>9995999
Very cute anon, can I ask where your shoes are from?

I would like to see more modern coords with peeking bloomers

>>9996248
Because, as this thread shows, old-school is prevalent by far. It's interesting to see peeking bloomers with different, more uncommon substyles.

>>9996249

honestly like >>9996268 and >>9996250 she could better style for her shape, and I think better angles and poses would do wonders for her. I want her to do really well, she seems genuinely nice.

>>9996285
Seconded

didn't you ask this a few days ago? "how to start a conversation with..." and then went on to expose your thirst.

you were answered, read the archive

>>9995412
Actually, outside of /cgl/, I've found most people to be helpful and supportive. Of course, there will always be some rotten apples, but on the whole, I haven't experienced the "toxic" community you're talking about. Especially at cons themselves, once you take that layer of anonymity away, a lot of people lose the balls to say anything bad.

Oh my fucking god here we go again. I guess it’s time for me to spam shitty cosplays, chads, and hambeasts.

Isn't it more like ass-piring?

Ahh da widdle piss babies deleted my post, if you want to see tits and ass go watch porn

It would include western stuff like Marvel , walking dead and funko pops

>>9995314
Looking at the state of the cosplay community, I can actually appreciate how guarded the lolita community is and how strict the rules are as to what is and isn't in the fashion. I honestly think the cosplay scene could have benefited from something like that, so costhots couldn't call their attention thirst "cosplay"

>>9995196
girugamesh was a 2009 meme? I thought it was like 2005/6 or something.

>>9995488
What's worse it has gotten worse with time.
First we had titty windows by people like Jessica Nigri and Yaya Han which people defended to death as to saying it is okay so it became accepted.

Then we got Cosplay Paterons where people would simply just wear underwear and be nearly naked and call it "cosplay". People also defended that to death and said "lewd" cosplayers are okay.

I wouldn't be surprised if the next step is "professional" cosplayers start going into straight up porn and argue to death that it is okay and still "cosplay".

>>9995846
Cosplay, costume play, it's not that deep. Who gives a fuck about your purist standards? The market has voted with their wallets, patreon costhots are here to stay. I cosplay often and I'd rather put good energy into my workmanship than waste time gnashing my teeth over half dressed hussies who can't sew a thing.

Cons have changed, though skimpy cosplay and people looking for excuses to be half naked is not new. Cons have become bigger, marketable events instead of little hobby groups having a chat and a viewing of their fave animes. As we age, we become more critical; it's no longer a nice gathering place to be silly with your friends, it's a place to buy merch and hope for a half decent panel. I do miss the old days, but I am aware that I was naive and full of excitement.

You might want to consider dancing at a topless bar or working at a dungeon before prostitution... I was a domme at a dungeon for a while after college, $65/hr plus tips to tie men up, call them disgusting pigs, and occasionally flog them-- and they weren't allowed to touch me.

>>9996579
>$300
Yikes, respect yourself more. That's barely the amount sugar babies get for meeting a guy and talking to them over dinner, much less letting guys go down on them.

This thread always fuckin starts off well enough and then devolves so quickly.

>>9996592
It lasted a couple days though, that's almost a record

>>9996396
I would move out but it's expensive where I am and also my parents are Christians so they would probably be shocked and angry with me if I go around selling lewds (heck it took them a year to get used to me wearing cosplays to the con)

>>9995017
Crawl back to /b/ or /d/ disgusting footfag.

An innocent thread died for this

>>9995007
I second this

>>9995108
Ill never get why everyone likes Legianas armor so much. Its far from the nicest or technical to make in the game and the stats aren't worth looking at twice anyway. Why cosplay some thing you wouldn't even actually wear.

>>9995043
Holy crap that looks great! Cue Captain N flashbacks!

>>9995490
Some of the SFX stuff people pull off for this contest are really impressive

ps. i intend to cosplay as manfred von karma.

It's not worth it imho unless you really have nothing else to go to. In my experience the gawking normie ratio is high and the pricing of everything huge (and no lmao no one's gonna accept USD why would they? You might be able to get away with Euros for some things, but not guaranteed and not neccesarily at an exchange rate you'll like.) Cosplayers tend to be sold as an attraction but there's not actually many/much for them.
