/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

My favorite costume. It's a shame I still don't know how to properly make the leather bags and holster...

Looking for some advice/suggestions for making a mask. Pic related, Shin from Dorohedoro.

Depends on the location. In USEUR it's actually suggested you not where your uniform off post regardless of duty hours unless you're on a specific 'mission' outside of post limits. Reasons being domestic terrorism is ridiculous in Yoorup.

I might coincide my pre-deployment leave with Otakon this year, but unfortunately living in Germany it's the best I can do. Yes there is a German anime convention scene but I know enough German to hail a cab and order a beer.

One thing I can say about cosplay is my dedication to prop making is pretty much gone with the severe limitations. Any costume work I c an do is very basic sewing and lots of alterations.

Guess I'm not the only person that feels this way!

I, for one, am tired of blatant T&A cosplay. Don't get me wrong I do enjoy my tits and ass; however, when you're cosplaying a character that does have valuable assets but doesn't show them off AND you're flaunting them then you're doing it wrong. Really wrong.

Female/Male versions of the opposite sex. It's just dumb. If you're going to do the character and you are the opposite sex, just try your best. When I get back to the States I plan on cosplaying Chiquita from Jormungand and I'm definitely not a female. She's just too bad ass to pass up!

And to add one to the list:
People who commission props and take credit for themselves. Little else is more aggravating and frustrating to a prop maker, especially those of us not as renown as BlindSquirrel and Kamui.

Looking for any information on latex masks. Pic related, Shin from Dorohedoro.

No, it was just a douchebag moment. We've talked about it since and we're both past it. It's just one of those moments you don't forget because of how stupid it was.
