/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Can we maybe get some kind of FAQ going for prop making? I'm trying to figure out what's the best (and cost efficient) way of making a replica of majora's mask and I don't have the money to throw down for all the plaster molding shit.

>we're not
>i responsibly set aside a certain amount of my paychecks for tuition

like what am I suppose to even say?
Sorry you don't have a job and use your parents to fund your cosplay hobby AND tuition?
I mean sure I rely on my parents for tuition to a certain extent but I never let they pay a penny for lolita/cosplay.

But... Senbonzakura Miku has green hair...
Did you go the lazy route and use a regular aqua Miku wig?
This grinds my gear a lot.

Delete that word from your brain immediately. As long as you wear it right, you're fine.

Mine is when people insist that you have to make your cosplays in order to cosplay.

Not everyone really cares that much to learn to sew and get a sewing machine, etc. Now, that doesnt mean it's not easy to learn, in fact there are plenty of helpful guides out there, but some of us are just fine with buying.

However, that doesnt mean you can just wear a cosplay right out of the box. Even if it looks great, there is always something to be done, mostly tailoring it to fit you. One of my coats needed buttons sewed on and another I completely replaced the hat because the one it came with looked terrible.

Same thing goes with wigs. Wigs should always have some sort of styling done to them.

Basically, I dont care if you make your cosplay from scratch or if you bought it an altered it, I just care that you look good in it.
