I'd like to add to the paper-mache method as it can be amazing if you put the time into it.

>It will take some light sanding
>Much less work than fiberglass, but can be almost as strong.
>If sealed well, can last a very long time.
>Not effected by heat.
>Does require some skill to look good.

Posting my favorite guide for OP, but be warned, no matter the method you choose it will take time.

The amount of time put into a cosplay usually equals how good it looks.

I remember talking to you on the elevator, your chainsaw was a work of art. Glad they didn't hassle you about it, I would've been worried about them being weird about it's weight.

When did you manage this?

>>6525149
Wow I don't recall the tire slashing thing in the video. The picket line, ehhh, I doubt they'd do that. But still it didn't really seem like a big deal.

>>6525153
I went to bring up the clip from youtube, but it seems to be gone. Anyone have a link?

The maid video was nothing to really call drama. This? This is good stuff.

Oh don't worry, I'm not complaining, I'm just surprised because the con itself seemed to have blown over without anything major happening.

Hey guys what's going....oh shit....and here I thought this would be the first Ikkicon without any drama. Oh Ikkicon, you never disappoint.

Expect a mediocre con with most people there simply to see friends, wear their costumes and drink. If you want to have fun, and are with friends, you will have fun. But do not expect this con to entertain you, their programming is sorely lacking this year. You're going to have to make your own fun.

All that being said, I always have a great time at Ikki.

Post away, my good man.

I'm in the same boat. I really need to get to work on something, but ehhhh...

I'm going. Not expecting anything at all, and I don't think I'll be disappointed.

Although really, I do always have a great time at Ikki, but mostly because I get to see friends I haven't seen in a year.

I agree, we used to have such ridiculous shitstorms.
Remember when he had everyone thinking Moot hated /cgl/ and that he was going to delete the board if it wasn't cleaned up? Place was better than coscom for like a week straight, it was hilarious.

>dat Hellboy plush

That is so awesome I can't even...

This thread needs more pictures.

This was posted some time ago, but should be perfect for your base-sorry it's so small, but it is still legible. I have no idea why I don't have the larger version anymore.

After you have the base all done, add the bull's snout, ears and horns with shaped wire mesh (or cardboard for the horns) and just paper mache the whole business.

Son. Of. A. Bitch.
Although I kinda figured there would be no way it could be as good as what I'd heard.

Allcon's nickname is Awkwardcon. It has earned this name for good reason. All the fandoms sort've separate with the Star Wars people here, the Anime cosplayers here, the Who fans over there, etc. It's just a very odd/bad atmosphere and not worth the trip unless you're in town already or something. It's small-average sized.

Yep, been on toy lately, cgl's been rather dull as of recently.

>favorite cons
San Japan, Animefest
>least favorite cons
Realmscon
>things you're looking forward to next year
My first Akon, it better be worth all the hype you bastards established.
>cosplay plans
Finishing any of the costumes in my pile 'o costumes I haven't worked on in 2 months.
>convention plans
Ikkicon will be my next one. It's like a glorious train wreck, more entertaining by the moment. That seeing my con buddies.
>whatever
AKon's hotel is way more expensive than I thought. Meh.

>did they forget how shitty last year was ran?

Last year was probably the worst I have ever seen a cosplay show run, and I have seen some duesies.
Now, that being said, it wasn't a complete disaster, but there were several 'Are you guys serious?' moments.

Was going to be doing a Nightmare Before Christmas group (yeah, way overdone, I know, I didn't pick it). But with these rules and the competition that's going to show up, I think I'll skip it. Might not bring the costumes at all and save them for something else.

>mfw I was planning on entering, but after seeing this bullshit clusterfuck of a rules list, I think I'll just wear my competition outfit around the halls and enjoy my day doing what I want.

Good luck to those that are going to actually give it a try however.
