/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

This plain reflective mask seems to be a good idea to put under it, unless I somehow sculpt a solid animu mask with plastic.

Thinking of doing something crazy and horrifying for Halloween.

It involves one of those kigurumi masks.

Anyone had any experience? Any way to make one affordable that looks decent? Maybe just a fabric mask over a plain one?

It's sad I used to be able to list my dream cosplays off the top of my head. I've been out of it so long I've forgotten the list.

Wolfwood with a Cross Punisher would be nice. I know two other friends who keep saying they want one just to have. Though one has cosplayed Vash and he could use it.

Shit. Used to have a folder of reference pics just in case I ever got the bug again. Ah. Here it is. Would love to make different Griffith armor.

And.. oh geez.. Knight Of Skeleton.

After seeing that ep, I wondered how long it would take someone to cosplay it.

> because no one will either recognize them
I went to Otakon as Killy from Blame! before the manga was even out in the states. As big as the con was, a whole two people recognized me. One shrugged me off and the other flipped out in joy.

Too bad I get a five o'clock shadow by 11AM.

I'd have to bring a razor and keep applying whatever make up covers stubble.

And that's not even getting into the armor and wig.

> Band of The Hawk Griffith Friday
> Eclipse Griffith Saturday early
> Femto Saturday evening
> Neo Hawk Griffith Sunday

Plus tons of make up to hide that five o clock shadow I get five seconds after shaving.

> to to a comic con
> first group i see outside before even getting in is Homestucm
> go to leave on final day
> another group is at the bus stop

You cannot escape it.

sounds like idiots and scumbags all around

>>In the episode, the main character (Riley) decides to 'embrace her inner-geek' in an attempt to ~find herself~ so she she starts copying the look of Japanese fashion she stumbles on online.

Son of a bitch. That sounds a bunch like the idea for a comic character I have had for years. Though more gothic lolita and less pink vomit lolita.

> come to CGL to see if there's a Boston thread as I wasn't feeling good today and missed it.

We all started somewhere.
Though none of us started on a crappy carefully edited reality show.

Fuck. This damn show does make me wanna try one of the dozen ideas I have been thinking of for years.
Hmmm.. maybe should get a job again first.

>>7649602
Yeah. Though moreso that I don't really hang out with them anymore. Or that they talk with another half of them. And of course that I haven't really done a costume in years.

Shit. Last time I had an old costume, I spilled cola all over a white fabric part at a morning panel and let it soak the rest of the con.

>>7649592
I shoulda said a version of Link. Then again a female friend used to try to talk another female friend to crossplay Link when she had short hair.

>>7649581
To be honest, I have a bad habit of buying or scavenging too much shit for projects. Then again my dad and his house is pretty hoardery already.

I had to check if this was Silent Hill or some Nihei design. It was the former.

>>7649554
Nooooo. Next you are gonna tell me wrasslin is fake ans the tooth fairy didn't leave me dat monies.

And.. did I mention I hate that Nightwing design.

Is it from Injustice: Shit Among Puss?

>>7649547
btw, I'm not a grill

Actually.. I got a similar Zelda idea I keep wanting to do...

I always wonder if larger groups carry more weight.

Shit.. I hate that Nightwing design so much...

Fuck. Now I wanna make a Gullermo Del Toro Peter Pan too.

Anyone else prefer the smaller old ones?
Eh. To each their own.. but I think they are too big for her frame. I guess.. I like.. relative proportions?


Oh geeez... the hell was that Nightwing.

Wow. Dis skit.

>>7649501
I only ever participated in one cosplay skit and I was really just a background character. I have no interest in competing and deadlines.

My first cosplay I spray painted a prop in a back alley in Bodymore. Last time I tried a new one.. well.. still haven't finished. Gave up a night or two before the con. And that was a simple jacket to sew.

She is kinda too tall and lanky for the shield chick. Not bad herself, mind you, just an off match. Kinda like how some cosplayers are too busty for Cammy.

> inflatable air bed in a skit

da fug? dat cray cray.
