/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

My plans for Syd OZCC is to go to a mates place and get drunk cause fuck the line up is boring and I can have more fun elsewhere.

Seems steamkittens still travelling even with him not in a very good way. Kudos for him travelling though

I saw some weirdo chinkette in the city walking around in pink, pedophile, fantasy clothing (a.k.a. lolita).

Don't do that shit.

Looks like EBX is bringing a cosplay comp to PAX Aus. Details will probably pop up next week with the rest of the schedule but what do you all think?

>>10001308
Wow, that's kind of exciting to hear. PAX hasn't really had anything for cosplayers which is strange, considering lots of people tend to bring out big builds for it.
I'm interested to see the prize pool- Hopefully it runs on the Saturday so I can check it out!

Thoughts on the overall OZCC winner?

>>10002616
I haven't actually seen anything about it. Would anyone mind dumping photos/posting the winning costume?

>>10002616
>>10002619

Couldn't see shit from the stream so any photos would be great.

I've never been to a convention before, but I finally decided to go to PAX this year. I was thinking about cosplaying for fun but I have absolutely no idea where to start. Also is anyone else going alone or with a group?

>>10002616
If it was anything like 2 years ago, it'll just be judge preference and no actual criteria for judging.

From what friends told me, Sewing seems to be prioritised over everything which fucks armour cosplayers

>>10002667
Hey dude! If you've never cosplayed before, I'd suggest going with something simple, or maybe even a meme cosplay. What kind of stuff do you like? It's a little late to start anything serious, I think, especially if you're new to it.

Otherwise, I think PAX is the best con to be alone at. I went alone for the first several years and I loved it, because there's so much to look at and so many panels meaning I don't have to compromise with anyone. It can be really overwhelming on the con floor though so look out if you have sensory issues, but there are several dedicated quiet spaces around.

Panels are pretty good for meeting people too. Whether it's in a line or after the panel itself just talking to the hosts, I've found everyone to be super friendly.

Good luck!

>>10003126
I make armour and t is 100% easier and less technical than sewing. With all the resources out there today, builds just aren't as impressive as they used to be.

However, it seems like hand embroidery is the new trend in the comp scene.

>>10003820
Do you have an example of your armour? Because I sew by trade and unless you're making a lot of flat panels with little embellishment, I disagree with your statement that armour is less technical. I do also question you on solving some of the locomotion issues that are not apparent within sewn costumes vs armour costumes(that are often unwieldy and cumbersome).

I do agree that resource wise, armour builds did get easier, but the resources for it are not even a fraction of sewing resources. Whether we're counting availability of resources, patterns, advice, mentoring services etc etc. Sewing is simply far more approachable then armour.

Given all the horror stories about Cosplay Photographers bein dicks (or thinking with them), is it worth trying to get into it (I've mostly used my DSLR for video purposes but looking for something to do for funsies on weekends or when I'm at a convention anyway that isn't as intensive as video production) or will everyone just assume if I'm a 5/10 30 yr old guy that I too am an enormous creep

>>10004324
You should be fine in theory. As long as you're friendly and you're self aware, there are photographers in the community that don't have the creep reputation.

The downside is that unfortunately that kind of reputation gets people talking about you, and gets people looking at your page. Which really sucks, but it's what happens far too much of the time.

If you're doing it for fun and you want to get out and take some cool photos and meet some people though, just make sure you think things through before you say/touch, because there are also some cosplayers who will blow things way out of proportion. Ask permission before adjusting a costume piece or repositioning an arm and stuff like that. As long as you're coming at this from a non creepy perspective you should be fine, and I hope you have a lot of fun!

>>10004355
Of course! It's the same within film "Hi, I need to do X so it looks like Y, can I just move you/this from A to B?", or "I need this mic to sit here just under your shirt/mic pack to sit under your dress, are you able to do that for me?" it's always about asking before moving, and getting that trust between crew and the cast, and photography should be the same (and it's sad to hear that some don't understand that)

>>10004324
Unless you act like a creep, that assumption won't fall on you (i.e trying to give underage girls/boys your phone number, trying to isolate people into remote areas of the convention without their friends, touching people without their consent).

A lot of the con photographers are now hitting 30 years + and they're pretty reputable. .

>>10004324
Probably not.

The cosplay community is full of whiny little snowflakes. Without a doubt, someone will have a sook and then they'll bitch about you on 4chan. No doubt.

>>10004452
If you build up a good relationship with most people you work with though, there tends to be a bit of defense here when people try that. If you deserve to be called out, then you'll get called out. But genuinely nice people or non-creepers at the very least do get defended a lot of the time by their clients/friends

>>10004373
At the end of the day you'll probably be fine anyway though, it's like with cosplayers. You worry about people not liking you or bitching about you or whatever, and then in the end no one pays much attention to you and you just fly under the radar. People you've worked with come back to you because you provided good pictures and you were easy to work with, and you get to just keep doing your thing. It's hard to build a reputation, good or bad, without something major happening or a lot of time passing.

REEEEE STOP HAVING BOYFRIENDS, YOU SLAGS

Who’s ready for Pax?!

Does anyone know why __meki suddenly deleted everything off her instagram? did something happen at Bris OZCC?

>>10007176
She hasn't been involved with Amuse recently from what i can tell

>>10007176
>Does anyone care why __meki...

Fixed

>>10006574
We don’t anon, it’s why we have girlfriends instead

>>10007237
Probably because she moved to a different state.

>>10007474
As a slight outsider this is true with most of the chicks I know who cosplay.

https://ebgames.formstack.com/forms/eb_expo_2018_cosplay_registration

Registration for the EB cosplay thing is open. It closes on the 16th. Seems hasty and badly advertised but I might enter the parade portion. I'm not good enough for the actual competition

How do I meet a qt cosplayer chick?

>>10008200
>Step 1, go up and question about their cosplay
>Step 2, show genuine interest. If you're not genuine they'll be able to tell.
>Step 3, ask if they're part of any group you can follow/like
>Step 4, Talk a bit more before you leave and never follow up with anything.

>>10008200
You don’t. You go on tinder, find a good looking girl, date her and then appeal to her vanity by making a costume for her and asking her to come along.

You really don’t want a normal cosplayer to date. If they’re anyone with a page, they’re either in long term relationships or a sociopath

>>10008200
Hate to admit, but >>10008516 is pretty dead on. Most cute cosplay girls are used to getting attention and are going to be more picky with the people who approach them. If they aren’t already in a relationship, there’s.. possibly a reason for that lol.

>>10008516
>>10008697
>Talk to pretty sweet, cool chick on Tinder for 6 months
>Could never find an opening to meetup beforehand but finally gonna have a good 3 days at PAX.
>She's looking out of her current relationship with another girl and has started opening up to me more
>I don't want to feel as if I'm manipulating her out and have all this bite me on the arse if we ever call it off
>God help my social life

So, asides that. How are you guys holding up?

>>10008200
Dont, their hypergamous nature will only pick top guys and mostly arent apart of the community.
They will use you as a beta cuck.
AKA you will be the emotional tampon to some other guy. Also side note NEVER give money to them, there is a reason why trash cosplay girls/ Twitch thots are famous

>>10010363
>In a relationship
>On tinder

Yeah I somehow don't think she'll need that much encouraging.

A video exists of the Guzzardi twins making out in their Sora/Roxas cosplays. Who remembers?

>>10010853
What the FUCK. They always seemed kind of weird to me honestly. Other than the fact that they usually go way too hard on the makeup. Costume construction is good though but yeah. They seem pretty up themselves from all the fame they get.

But yeah nah that's weird as fuck

>>10010853
someone link it
there was always something weirdly incentous about them

>>10010475
She was on Tinder when I found her. Dropped it, found a gf a couple months later. A week ago she's starting to look out of it and now she's here talking to me.

Yea it was worded a bit weirdly.

>>10010853

>>10010853
Oh god that was years ago, right? Or did they do it again recently?

>>10011389
Yeah it was back in like 2011 or so.
>REAL OGs
When Dat was thicc

>>10011492
>>10010853
>tfw basically after they first met they sent pics to him of them making out in the bleach cosplays

>>10011389
Lol remember this psycho bitch who got herself banned from just about every event for clawing people...

>>10011502
always laugh at the first time i ever met her
>be at flinders st
>friend pulls out a 50 because we comparing how much we have or something
>she spergs out "WHERE I COME FROM YOU WOULD BE ROLLED FOR FLASHING THAT MONEY"
bitch was seriously fucked in the head, her brothers chill as fuck though

>>10011513
Many female cosplayers seem to sperg out. I wonder what it is that attracts people with Aspergers to this hobby?

>>10011502
holy shit I had completely forgotten about her existence. What is she even doing now?

Also, it was the cringiest time of my life, but I really miss the old melcospho/manifest days of Melbourne cosplay. It's probably because I was young and didn't have any self awareness but I miss having fun with people in costume and not worrying that it was going to bite me in the ass later if I embarrassed myself. And everyone seemed to be having more fun with it too.

When did the "~secret~" cosplay trend start? Is it just a Melbourne/Australian thing or is this more widespread? I'm sick of seeing posts in the MCC where people are either saying literally nothing about what they're cosplaying and trying to get people to guess the surprise that no one cares about, or "I need help so UNFORTUNATELY I have to reveal my SECRET COSPLAY"

Even with big name cosplayers, does anyone give two shits about secret costumes?

I heard one of the Sydney lolitas died recently, does anyone know what happened?

I want to hold hands with Andi.

>>10012420
It's just the MCC being the MCC. Every time the admin posts I cringe so god damn hard. Makes me not want anything to do with the community.

>>10013188
Some of the admins are alright, but so many of them remind me of classic Melbourne cosplay community of 2007-2012 and it also makes me cringe

>>10011502
She's fet now. Not many friends. Still a psychotic bitch

>>10012470
if you're referring to the memorial picnic it was that: a memorial picnic. she died ages ago.

>>10013203
I saw some pics from that. She looked really young :( Do you know what happened?

>>10013233
im not sure, i think it was a suicide.

>>10013199
fet?

>>10013257
Yes. Fet. Wide. Tank.

>>10013281
New term to me. Strange one

>>10013723
I'm surprised you haven't heard of this one.

>>10013919
Not going to lie, I thought you meant she was a fetish model or something.

What's everyone most looking forward to at PAX?

>>10013999
Making friends..

>>10013999
>>10014297
Same. Just want some frens to talk about vidya games and have some fun.

>>10014297
good luck with that xD

Any cosplay girls looking for a sugar daddy during PAX?

>>10015160
this is what you look like to everyone here

>>10015342
Nah, that guy gets more pussy

>>10015160
this was tolerable a few months ago, now you seriously need to smeg off

Any anon here who knows what is going on with Perth Cosplay Community? I have been hearing that cosplayers around the age of 20-29 are shaming people younger than them, and or aged 30 and higher, by posting about them in here or in Instagram. It’s scaring me off from trying to even enter the cosplay scene cause of this.

>>10012062

Yes those 2011 or so days, if social media was more big those days I'd be on weeb cringe complications

>>10016082
dude, who the fuck cares? do what you want to do and don't let some stupid kids make you fear that... how pathetic to lose time worrying about stupid people's opinions.

>>10016111
One member from the group I look up to is posting in Instagram, saying nobody is perfect, and that nobody has the right to tell others off. While saying so, she was telling how somebody who was 30 years of age can’t be surrounded by cute things. I support her good intentions, but in the same paragraph that she’s saying we can’t judge other people, she was clearly saying that a 30 year old can't be treated well and shouldn’t hide behind plush toys. I am scared that I would get judged when I start cosplaying. I really am. You can’t tell me that I am not allowed to be scared.

>>10016093
This is the realest thing. I live in fear of the videos my friends put on youtube in high school surfacing. I'm not sure if I can laugh it off.

>>10016132
You can be scared, but seriously. You'll regret letting fear hold you back from doing things you really want to get into. Soon you'll be 40, 50, 60 and only look back and think " wow, I wasn't actually old when I was 30.. I should have got into cosplay so I would have had the last 10, 20, 30 years to enjoy it"

>>10016082
Older cosplayer shaming = people shaming Darkforce for dating girls at the very edge of underage. Which seems pretty fair. He’s nice and all but yikes.

>>10016082
The only people within our community who actively post here aren't even cosplayers anymore. They used to actively start and spread rumours here, then run back to Facebook to message people about what was going on to really make the fire burn. They've since gone pretty quiet and aren't seen around cons anymore. There may be a few others from the "old Waicon days" still lurking around, but they're not worth the space they use.

If you want to start cosplaying, just do it. Head into a con and talk to people. Approach people and talk about the con/costumes/whatever. You'll find the vast majority are actually rather friendly.

>>10016375
Hah. Except you don't know the half of it. You should see the messages he's been sending and how he treats people when they say no.

>>10016082
Not much drama, just avoid Jefferey Jones. He's a scam artist and kinda rapey fetlife "dom" who sends kind of creepy messages to underage girls.

>>10013987
I suppose it seemed that way. Let's agree that she's a bitch with psychotic tendencies

>>10011581
I want to know the reason behind that as well.
>>10015457
He is annoying.
>>10016082
It would be a random person stirring drama. Could be autistic.

My Hotline cosplay is basically done for Friday-Sunday; besides a few bandages and little markings.
Alas, I still feel a little nervous with the first time and all. Does anyone else get that feeling or am I just overthinking this shit?

>>10017124
It's perfectly normal to be nervous before cosplaying for the first time! It'll all be fine though, I'm sure. Just remember to bring your brain with you and you'll have a great time.

>>10016373
Thank you anon. I am also a minor. That’s why I feel troubled seeing older people fight. What can a new comer like me do in defend of myself when that time comes. They are saying that some older people are out to destroy the Perth Cosplay Community so it made me wonder if it’s even worth entering at this point.

I didn't know what fetlife was before reading ausfag threads, you degenerate bitches.

>>10017161
Who is “they” ? Because this is the first I have heard of it is here from you (?)

>>10016448
>the vast majority are actually rather friendly
If you're a chick.

>>10016132
>two best friends having a fight
>they tell people around them
>people pick sides

It’s a misunderstanding between best friends and it’s not going to destroy any coscomm. The hoes who say so are stupid and are just stirring drama. They really should just leave the two old friends to settle their differences, not add more fuel to the fire and make those two fight more. You don’t need to worry about cosplaying whatever your age is. You will always find people who will support you. Observe how they speak online and if you notice them always complaining about friends then best believe they’d end up complaining about you too. You can easily spot people who are making up stories and looking for sympathy online. Don’t let yourself be affected by it, continue on supporting your favorite group, just be careful of that member you specified.

>>10017616
That is true. Whenever me and my partner go to conventions, she gets asked for photos all the time, while I hold her bag on the side. And we are both in cosplay.

>>10017616
100%, so much easier difficulty

>>10016448

>> "The only people within our community who actively post here aren't even cosplayers anymore." Oh Anon, you sweet summer child. If you know the right people, just listen to what they say, they'll betray the fact they post here eventually.

>>10008697
Even for photographers. Most are just thirsty mf. Just give them a camera and they would call themselves photographer, even without proper education on how to use it.

>>10017894
You must be a regular anon then. It’s easy to find your own friend’s comments here, but I won’t assume, since I’ve been across people who are quite skilled with copying how others talk.

>>10017894
Are you a retard? Can you possibly find out who’s posting here basing on some cue words? Get a life. We all speak English and with the exception of those retards like you who intentionally makes the wrong grammar just to blame it on another non-English speaker.
>>sweet summer child
God you’re a retard. You are one of those anons who derails everything.

That creepy dance mum at it again pushing her kid at togs and the community in general. Is anyone else finding it really uncomfortable?

>>10018510
Can’t be more vague there anon. You are only stirring more drama. You can shut up now. Don’t include the whole community with your own salt. Spergs everywhere.

>>10017938
>>10018561
whoever you are, i love you. please marry me

Jazmin literally no one believes you

>>10017938
I’m allowed to disagree with you. I’m sorry if it’s derwiling but I’m just expressing that you’re wrong

>>10017938
To answer this in a bit more detail; it’s easy to tell who posts by what they talk about when CGL is brought up in conversation. They seem to be TOO interested in what you feel about certain posts.

I’m not talking a few questions here, it becomes obvious they started drama and want to see their work. Best example I can give you is Shiiva. Last year she was here all over the shop. In normal conversation; she’d never let it go.

>>10018510
you know, the one child whose photos keep popping up, goes with the colours purple and orange, further reinforcing how this has all become competition and not at all for fun -.-

>>10018771
Has 70+ photos of her posted up and still complains rj eres not enough of her and other kids. While photogs are scrutinised for taking photos of kids because of the litigation. Whatever happened to kids having fun and not worried about being photographed. The mum is such an entitled cunt and using her kid to grab attention for herself

>>10018561
Not OP but if you're in any of the FB Australia cosplay groups you'll know who this is. Always pops up onto my timeline.

>>10018510
>>10018771
>>10019357
Agree. She posts her kid almost every few days whining about how her kid doesn't get attention. It's particularly alarming considering that the cosplay community can be incredibly toxic and is not at all a good place to raise a kid into.

>>10018663
You are allowed to do so.
Most anon who post salt and insult others here are the ones with great victim playing skills when confronted. People who appear interested in the talk may have very well been just interested.

>>10019758
Such a shit parent. Poor kid I'll have problems growing up

>>10019862
Will*

Alright, which one of you dressed in yellow came up to Jacket on Friday and unironically used the word shill in conversation when talking about Mask reccomendations. I found that fairly hilarious.

Anyone got a PAX photo dump? I didn't get to take any on the Sat.

There was a really great Monster Hunter cosplay and some solid DnD Tiefling cosplays on the Saturday.

Any of ya's cop an eyefull of that big bowsette? Oy gevalt.

>>10021432
I gotchu senpai.

>>10021469

>>10021470

>>10021471

>>10021472

>>10021473

Any decent gash this weekend?

Did anyone here get a good panorama of the Smash Ultimate spread at PAX?

>>10021715
I saw a couple of chubby upskirts at PAX. Does that count?

Hugging someone is sexual assault now.
I dont go for hugs but that's crazy

>>10022414
Also does anyone notice the people who shout out "cosplay is not consent" are all generally ugly? Lol

Is Katyuska escorting in Japan again? What's her escort name?

>>10021439
No but did see Meads getting fatter by the year. I guess she's letting herself hang loose

>>10022530
Just curious, why would she need to escort? She makes a fuckton from Patreon and has a fiancée

>>10022629
Because she wouldn't be the first cosplay escort, she already posts nudes, and it makes a shit ton of money and feeds her travel habit?

>>10022642
Nudes and travelling doesn't equate to sex work though since most people do these two things, sex work equates to sex work

>>10022414
The hover hand is finally in style!
I always knew I was a trend setter!

I'm going to say it here anonymously because I can't hold it in anymore. There's one girl in the Perth cosplay community who, when she posts a new progress pic or photo, spams it to ALL the cosplay groups. It's annoying as shit because I'm part of many of them and I have to see her photos come up again and again and again because she's so hungry for fame and increasing her numbers. Its becoming almost intolerable and I don't care if she has thousands of likes now, she gotta stop with that spam.

>>10023630
Right click her post; then hit snooze. This lets you not see her shit without blocking her

>>10023630
Try being from Melbourne. There's at least a dozen that spam their new pictures and WIPs to every single group, men and women.

Ok I gotta vent as well. How does xeno_morphine do it. 3 years ago this chick is doing emo goth shit then changes to kawaii shit and she's got only 2.5k insta but somehow gets to hang out with the 6% doki doki staff members and ( supposedly ) got a job offer on her first trip there? Like the girl is on welfare from what I can see, reeks of 'damaged goods', does zero promotional work for her feed and yet this shit happens.Does she even speak Japanese or is this some bodyline tier waifu thing? Yes I'm jelly.

>>10024151
She's probably just actually attractive.

>>10024151
Well, firstly she's gorgeous and her aesthetic is cute as heck. She's battled a lot of shit in her life and she's doing really well. Second of all, she gets to hang with these people because her aunt has connections. She's a sweet girl

>>10023630
She's actually the most attention seeking person Perth has right now I hate her

>>10023630
>>10024242
Does she 'escort'?

>>10024151
Probably because her aesthetic is on point and she's tall thin white girl? Maybe try an eating disorder like she did and you can get invited too.

>>10024242
Are we talking about the same girl? What are her initials?

>>10024151
She's a small cute white girl that was born in Asia, don't you know how low that makes the difficulty setting go for this kind of shit?

Nobody even cares about the overwhelming clusterfuck of the "outfits"; and an uninstall attempt would definitely qualify you in the damaged goods category imo

on a tangent, i feel genuinely sad for the people who have the same issues, but dont get any support because they're not "perfect"

god i hate this superficial af community

>>10024430
Let's just go with K.

>>10025181
Looks like were talking about the same person then anon. I really hate how smarmy and know it all she comes across as sounding too. It doesn’t help that most of her progress photos all look exactly the same like she can’t fart without having to post an update about it.

Reminder that Canberra exists and is the capital of Australia.
Please visit some time.

>>10025785
What would you recommend coming to Canberra for? I have more free time to travel next year, so I might come if there's something good on.

>>10025190
I haven't seen her spamming in cosplayers wa to the point of not knowing who you're talking about. What groups is she spamming?

>>10026035
Just wait til she brings out another one of her tutorials, you'll see who Im talking about

>>10025979
>>10025785
gammacon passed already. what else would people visit for?

>>10025785
>canberra

>>10023630
>>10024151
They are both successful in their crafts. There’s no reason for you to be bothered with them unless it’s directly concerning you.

>>10024170
>>10024238
>>10024408
Never said she wasn't cute or I didn't like what she did. I said I don't understand how she got where she has with apparently very little work, while also having a broken vibe. she's on the same level as every other cute girl I know who got involved with drugs and suicide and relies on the government for their weekly allowance, but doesn't do anything to improve their life beyond posting skimpy pictures. what makes her the exception? I don't see her work for it.

And she comes off distant irl. not sure if that's her personality as a scared bunny introvert with anxiety or if she's an actual snob. I've been to events where she's sat alone and ignored everyone for hours despite being spoken to and invited to join in, and then the moment her friends show up she's all smiles and giggles. If you're not going to interact with anyone why show up? If she doesn't interact with anyone besides her own small group how is she so popular?

What connections does her aunt have? I think I remember hearing she does work with bands and shit??

>>10024502
She was born in asia? Also if you're talking about a suicide attempt every batshit instagram thot has done one of those so I'm taking that off the table as 'damaged goods'. I mean she reeks of daddy issues and purposefully objectifies herself in order to seek validation of any kind and appears happy to mooch off the government without any ambition beyond being a pretty sex object guys can wank to.

>>10026408
It concerns me the same way the world in general concerns me. I don't think it's fair some people can coast by in life on looks and family but if you have neither you're stuck working your ass off hoping to get to the same level as people who have done nothing to deserve it. Is that how the world works? Yes. Does it bother me? Yes.

>>10026420
Well then maybe she’s popular because many people think like you do. You don’t know it yet. It is possible that most followers she has just wonder why she has connections. Not really on the supportive side

>>10026359
Even your big nerd store died. Like honestly, you lot managed to fuck that up, whats the point in a con?

>>10026420
indeed, hk

and i feel you, anon
the rules are fucked and the hordes of the stupid allow them to remain unchanged

There's a girl here I meet named Elaine that's from Australia. Neither of us really post as we told each other, but I was browsing today. I wonder if she'll see this post.

>>10026420
also, literally just back in the country, already needs more attention

Can people recommend some of their favorite Aussie cosplayers? I feel like despite being Aussie I don't really follow many.

>>10026255
Can we also talk about how her etsy store petticoats look nothing like what she has made before?

>>10024151
>Damaged goods
Oh no a female cosplayer who is attractive has had sex before.
That's really way too rare.
Here I thought that nobody had sex until they were 20.

>>10027188
Tim souter. Such photographer, much stud!

>>10027532
You're a spastic. Anon says cosplayers not photographers

>>10027532
Is he even photographing anymore? He wasnt at pax

>>10027213
That’s because they’re not her petticoats. They’re resold China-made ones that she sews onto new waistbands. That’s what I heard off someone else

>>10027648
She’s said openly before it’s not cost effective for her to edge that many layers of tulle so she remakes from petticoats from China.

I don’t think they’re good petticoats.

>>10027994
I don’t think that buying two $15 cheap Chinese fabric petticoats and sewing them into a new waistband constitutes as enough labour to sell for +$100

>>10028006
>>10027994
>>10027648
Directly from her etsy description
"Overview
Handmade item"
Sounds a lot like she's not openly saying that at all, claiming these are handmade.

>>10028056
You watch, if she ever posts "progress" photos of her petticoats they'll never be just loose fabric, it'll always be at an "almost finished" stage (more than likely when she's unpicked the waistband and is about to resew it) or the "finished" product. There's nothing wrong with reselling stuff, just don't lie to people that they're all handmade while calling yourself something as self aggrandizing as "Queen of Poof."

Told you she couldn't fart without having to update. I wonder if she'll make a post everytime someone buys one of her "handmade" petticoats

I'm going to leave this here, enjoy anons

>>10028119
I thought it was odd the fabric she used on her tutorials isn't the same as the products she sells ?

>>10028116
Honestly, if she was upfront about how she was doing this I wouldn't have an issue. $30 of materials for two of those petticoats, plus the time to unpick and stitch back together as a wage plus a retail markup because it's a business and I understand this costing $100. And I would not be upset to purchase it knowing that because I am paying to not have to do it myself. Marketing it as the same as what she makes from scratch though annoys me.

>>10028741
On the other hand, you could be K and you’re just talking about yourself just to gain views and interest from random anons.

>>10021472
>>10021470
>>10021473
fucking based, are there more guys who come along in cosplays like that and do they play vidya/drink together afterwards?

>>10026255
"i'm here to tell you about this magical thing called interfacing!!! i'm god's gift to earth for explaining the most basic part of clothing construction."

she drives me up the wall

>>10029583
Next video "IM HERE TO TELL YOU ABOUT THIS COOL NEW THING CALLED COSPLAY"

She's insufferable

>>10029583
She didn’t even explain how to do the interfacing properly in her video though?

“IM HERE TO TELL YOU ABOUT STUFF I ONLY LEARNT ABOUT RECENTLY BUT I CALL MYSELF A MASTER AT IT NOW”

Her face scares me and I agree, she IS insufferable about it

>>10024140
ugh this. what about that liz richardson girl who's constantly posting her blog posts? calls herself valley lizard cosplay

>>10022414
Well what if the cosplayer knows and likes her angles. Whoever this cunt is, she's probably an ugly cow who can't cosplay for shit. As for the hug part, no it's not assault, not even close. Glomping on the other hand is but no one does it these days.

>>10025181
I know who you're talking bout now. Just a few keywords in cosplayer wa search button. Lol

hey guys, I went to PAX in melbourne recently and didn't get invited to any private hotel room parties or any of the private orgies so i had to spend my nights at bars and the awful "PAX afterparty"

did anyone at PAX melb end up attending any of the underground sex parties or is this place full of incels & prudes

>>10029933
Who the fuck is this wanker?

thoughts on jusz cosplay?

Who's excited for BrisNova?

It's my first interstate con alone,
Any tips gulls?

>>10030253
pretty good at what they do
down to see what new stuff they'll do next year

>>10030315
Make friends

>>10030304
Did you see her booette at Pax?

>>10030397
do i want to?

>>10028116
"Modified" used to mean problem-solving, but now it's a dirty word in cosplay because of misrepresentation and scams like this.

>>10030397
The con was full of Bowsette, Booette and other super crown cosplayers.

>>10030673
Don't know. Up to you. I wasn't surprised she would go with the trend.

>>10030731
Yep. Was more of them on the Sunday

>>10025785
>>10025979
I'm also considering a trip to Canberra that I could plan around a con if they're decent. I've been to quiet cons in Melbourne and the atmosphere has always been awkward. Is it different in Canberra because you don't have the contrast?

>>10030790
It's awkward because you make it awkward. Do something bout that

How do you anons feel about a cosplayer who
>is famous on Instagram
>always posts votes and polls on next cosplay
>you vote
>they never do it anyway

>>10030942
Do they have a Patreon? If they do they're obliged to go with what their patrons want.
Alternatively they might be bluffing to mark territory. If they have a large loyal fanbase, smaller cosplayers won't want to step on their toes and so lose an opportunity to gain popularity. It's shitty but those big accounts do mobilise their followers to harass anyone they accuse of copying their ideas.

Did anyone get a chance to catch the brisbane odyssey leg? I'm not at nova and was planning to watch the stream they said they'd do, but obviously they didnt end up streaming.

>>10030942
I think they are just attention whores

>>10030968
It's on Sunday anon.

>>10030942
It's like the idiots who cosplay characters they don't nothing about but cosplay it anyway because trend

>>10031280
I'm a dumb bitch who thought yesterday was sunday, sorry about that all.

Anyway, how's everyone been enjoying Brisnova? Any stand out costumes?

Cosplay dash was a waste of time.

>>10030942
Cosplayer all have a long list of things they want to cosplay.

Just because they don't do it instantly doesn't mean it'll never happen.

Also polls are to increase engagement. Do you think these cosplayer actually care about you when they reply to your comments? Get over it anon.
Don't be so entitled.

>>10030739
Large waves of cosplayer go with the trend. Earth Chan, bowserette, 02 from darling in the fraanx.

Of course it's not a surprise.

>>10031608
Agreed. My list is only about 10 at the moment but it will keep growing. Even if I ask someone's opinion on what to do next I'm allowed to disregard it.

>>10031387
I didn't get to go because I had to work for 11 hours and I just moved recently and I'm broke as fuck.

But I really liked this girl, been following her on instagram put everything together. She went big which is admirable.

>>10022414
>you must ask a cosplayer if you want them to do something
>Gets offended by photographers asking if they want to do a particular angle or pose

NANI

>>10031696
She's probably ugly as fuck and just wants to speak out because "mama bear"

Wonder what's she's been sniffing

>>10030942
I feel that they only do those votes in order to use them as an excuse to do the slutty option without seeming like a slut.
If the sluttier option doesn't get voted for then they'll just do it anyway but if it does then they can say that everyone voted for it to deflect claims of attention whoring and sluttiness.

When you are trying to be a speed builder but you actually build just Photoprop

She killed herself.

>>10032417
What shoddy photoshop.

I do hope that’s her and not the photographer.

>>10026255
Told you, anons. Just brought out another basic bitch tutorial and already shared it to half a dozen groups.

Just watched it, there was literally zero substance to that tutorial. It’s like she’s spouted the most basic facts and thrown in some buzzwords to make it sound like she knows what’s up. Did anyone learn absolutely anything from it here?

K is at it again!

Best and worst part of Brisnova for me was taking a pretty below-average Bowsette cosplayer back to the hotel and ramming her hard enough she shit herself.

>>10032733
What's her tutorial on now?

>>10033195
Try to keep your posts based on reality anon. No one here is interested in wet dreams.

Someone’s had some work done... I wonder who paid for it

>>10033370
>>10033370
How to alter patterns. Except there’s no explanation on how to actually DO that. It’s just ‘you can mix and match patterns to Frankenstein your own!’ And ‘make a mock up’ *suddenly cuts to finished product*

There’s no substantial learning potential in her tutorial whatsoever. Anyone who’s ever used a store bought pattern would just watch it and go ‘yeah, duh’

>>10031693
Who is she, this looks great?

>>10033372
I'm pretty sure its just lip fillers. maaybe a little filler on the tip of her nose as well but that could easily be Photoshop and angles

>>10030790
Sorry, Gammacon is not worth the drive/flight to Canberra. I've been for the last 2 years and both were a waste of time. Sydney conventions make me remember why I still go to cons.

>>10033372
$3.99 for a photo editing app

Hey Guls,

Is there any recourse I have for people spreading malicious rumours? I'm lucky enough my reputation at this point can't really be hurt too much. But I'm starting to get sick of it since this person is clearly unhinged and I'm tired of either meeting new people and having to say "Oh, god not this again" or even having my SO deal with her harrassment over social media.

Despite a defamation lawsuit, a lawyer told me ages ago unless I have 20k to waste and this person won't just file bankruptcy immediately that option is somewhat pointless.

>>10034821
What state are you in anon?

>>10034843
Victoria

>>10034846
https://www.legalaid.vic.gov.au/find-legal-answers/discrimination-harassment-and-bullying

This is probably the best any of us can do. IANAL but hopefully someone through that can help. It sucks that someone contacts your SO, other cosplayers out of the blue and holds a grudge.

Hopefully if they're as unhinged as you say, people are giving you a chance. And if not, fuck em. Keep the people you love close. Anyone who has to resort to approaching people to try and spread their narrative constantly, especially if they have no proof will get caught out. And probably already has a few times which is pushing them onwards. Enjoy that you probably live in their head rent free, digging away at them. If they haven't beat you yet, you won clearly

>>10034846
Well Anon, what exactly are you seeking in terms of recourse? Do you want them to stop it? Or do you want money back? What type of end result are you seeking?

https://www.legalaid.vic.gov.au/find-legal-answers/personal-safety-intervention-orders

I don't know about the legislation and the nitty gritty of these orders in Victoria but if they're harrassing you in your every day life then you may need to get one of these.

It is a long and arduous process, especially if they're likely to contest it. You might want to get a lawyer involved who specialises in criminal matters.

Also start gathering up the evidence. Especially if they're harrassing you and significant others in real life.

>>10034821
gather evidence. get a lawyer. or get over it.

Someone tell Yeliz she is a hot arrogant mess... wtf is those dancing videos

>>10035729
she does dancing now?

>>10034821
>I'm lucky enough my reputation at this point can't really be hurt

weird flex but okay

>>10034821
who's the cosplayer?

>>10027615
he was holidaying in japan around pax time

>>10025979
Multicultural festival, folk festival, just check the calendar they have lots on throughout the year and a lot of good live music and cafes

>>10035748
And their art gallery has exhibitions other cities don't get.

>>10035767
That's pretty cool!

>>10035734
who cares

>>10027453
bold you to assume anyone on 4chan has ever had sex at all

>>10035772
cmon its cgl we nosey as fuc here

>>10035730
she dances on her socials showing herself of - I remember once she said she couldn't take videos or pictures at any other ankle because of her knee... funny as

Ardella trying to pretend shes still relevant

>>10035895
This looks good though.

>>10035895
should have edited those stray hairs and threads, but not bad at all.

>>10035909
I'm pretty sure Steamkittens doesn't let anyone else edit the photos they take.

I know for a fact that the only reason ‘K’ from Perth has so many page likes is because she buys them and she spends money out the nose promoting every post she uploads, including her ‘tutorials’

>>10024151
Her mum is rich as fuck that's about it

>>10024151
Reminds me of silhouette d'amore
Does goth shit then does cute shit when it gets mainstream. Like her booette. Haven't seen much photos from it. Must've been shit tier

>>10036567
>>10024151

Oh no two girls grew out of their emo/goth phases!? How unheard of!?

Hahaha my my aren't you the edgiest gul here

>>10036119
If I had the choice between my mum indulging me or helping with my hecs fees I'd go with hecs. International e-fame sounds great but it's a break from reality.

>>10035767
True, the few times I've been the galleries are worth the trip

>>10033195
How did you pick up at a con, anon? The rest of us incels here need tips.

Damn pinipy has gained weight

>>10036920

>>10036920
Go neck yourself.

Onesnapman. Takes cosplay photos but doesn't edit because he's lazy. Then why bother taking up photography onecrapman

And what a dumb name "onesnapman"

>>10037406
Why mad?

>>10035895
She had a photoshoot, how is that trying to be relevant? Did she send the photo to your mailbox?

>>10036567
Decided to lurk.
Her public socials only have her cosplay work?

Dunn see how that classifies as exclusively "cute shit" as ur implying ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>10037543
I was hoping for sum tea

How does anyone else get likes these days? The algorithm sucks if you don't promote your posts. I don't care much for her content but I don't blame her for resorting to paying.

I wonder how many more posts were going to see every time she sells another ‘handmade’ petticoat.

>>10037525
Anon is just jealous that an older cosplayer's Jester is cuter than theirs could ever be.

Why are there no lolitas in Brisbane? I just want to see one of you fucking nerds for once.

>>10037585

>>10038229
All the lolitas have disappeared because of this shitty weather lately. Brisbane needs to chill.

>>10038490
Do you guys just walk around queen street or something? I never have seen any of you.

>>10031693
Haha, she is like 15! (Not even lying) She is really good to be honest

>>10038491
Ive seen like on lolita and thats it. It’s because theres not enough meetups that are organised lol. Plus i need a new outfit before i burn to death in this heat

>>10038497
I think she's about 16-17. She's a little cutie and pretty damn good.

>>10038499
She got the good genetics! I’ve talked to her a couple of times and she is literally all natural, its hard to believe that someone can actually look like that without sugery

>>10038503

>>10037585
Goddamn she's so cute

>>10038603
I just want to cuddle her and buy her bubble tea.

Samefag, much?

>>10039145
Yeah, those are embarrassingly samefags. Come on, girl. Your store bought cosplay is fine, but don't self post and compliment yourself on /cgl/.P.S. cut your wig next time. Leaving the bang hanging in front of your eyes like that looks bad.

>>10039145
Not really.

>>10039192
Fuck forgot screencap.

>>10039191
If she's under 18 she's not allowed to post.

>>10039145
No, it's not samefag, idiot. I don't even know the girl but she's super cute and I'm trying to spread positivity

>>10039237

Samefag when five replies about a pic posted 9 days ago and well up in the thread.
Also can we not talk about underage people on cgl. Especially not if you want to cuddle her.

>>10039247
>It's a same fag even if proof is posted it's not a same fag because I say so

You reek of jealousy.

>>10039247
Anon, I was saying she shouldn't post. I happened to post less than a minute after and that was because I thought it ought to end.

Sa ge

>>10038229
there are, just all elitist ^_*

>>10039352
Sorry to break it to ya, but she doesnt go on 4chan. Its not same fag, but hey, believe what you want to believe. Btw, If you want me to tell her things, just reply to me

>>10039436
Tell her she's as cute as a button and I want to date her.

>>10039436
sounds like something someone same fagging would say

>>10039941
Agreed. Also she’s not pretty at all. If she doesn’t go here, no point commenting here. Go to her Instagram and support her there. Samefags selfposting all the time

any Melbourne lolitas know what’s going on comm wise because the only comm I’ve been able to find other than that fashion walk is dead af and I can’t join anyway because I don’t have Facebook

>>10040116
I don't think she's ugly and she looks like stock standard "Instagram kawaii girl cosplayer" but ya this thread reeks of self-promo.

Something on topic: thoughts about Sydney Madfest?

>>10040214
If madfest Sydney goes well in terms of organising and whatever else, Smash staff would need to be worried especially with how the con was handled last year.

>>10040219
>Smash staff would need to be worried
Cons aren't mutually exclusive. The people who go to 1 genre of convention go to the other.

Now RTX, THAT'S a con that needs to go bankrupt.

>>10040155
It's pretty much dead and buried in Melb, even for the sub-groups so I just hang with friends who actually want to keep wearing lolita. The HFW is still being run by Rosie, desu I don't want to associate with that trouble.

>>10040224
RTX is off next year. Instead Rooster Teeth are doing 3 Achievement Hunter live shows in different cities.

>>10040248
>Rosie
Yikes

>>10040335
Good riddance

>>10040248
>>10040531
who’s Rosie and what’s so bad about her? I was thinking of going to the next fashion walk just to show up all the itas and because it’s the only thing on.

same cosplayer ???

>>10040757
tl;dr she was booted from the Melb comm due to debt to another member, bullied the original HFW organiser out of the position. Afaik she also admins the HF community and didn't want to associate with "our crowd" from the lolita community when they offered to extend the invitation for their last swap meet.

>>10040914
damn that sucks

>I've been lurking /cgl/ for a few months now, but forgive me if my 'kind' of cosplay isn't welcome here.
>>10040914
>Booted from a group due to money and debt problems and screwing around with other disjointed members/organisers and hence ends up commanding/forming her own group out of presumed spite or mockery.

This sounds a lot like this one bloke us WW reenactors had to bloody deal with. What is it with these sorts of people and why do they think they're top shit?

If you’re going to be using your body to make money off of patron you should at least be taking care it of it and maintain your shape :/

Hey guys, i've been ironically cosplaying by myself using a homemade greenscreen setup for ~2 years because im hella autistic. I've never actually been to a con before or even have any friends who go to that kinda stuff.

wheres a good entry point i can go to to meet people and make friends that's not fully saturated with drama and cringe?
i live in sydney btw

>>10029583
What do you think about that other “K” cosplayer who posted her photo today? She’s implying that people know her.

>>10042075
She’s cute af and does a good job as admin, let her enjoy things you bitter ass. I don’t think her post implied that people should know her, just that they might have seen her in that cosplay at a previous con. Plus the fabric choices and prop work looked solid!

>>10042075
Tf did I miss out on, this is so overly vague I don’t understand

>>10041985
Good luck if you're insecure. You aren't going to find a con which wood suit your needs over there. Go back to your safe space

>>10042075
I think she is hungry for attention. She had been contacting all new cosplayers in sight with hopes of fitting in. Don’t get fooled new cosplayers. This lady destroyed many of Perth’s events.

>>10042491
>wood
how about you go back to primary school

Can someone post some actual content?
Or lacking that, some actual drama

>>10040531
Why is the level of toxicity higher in cosplay, and then even more concentrated among lolitas?

>>10040248
That’s really unfortunate. I just moved to Melbourne and was hoping there might be a fb group or something?

>>10042738
Are there any other anime-focussed con's here?

>>10042738
And you know the real story cause you are part of the group who stole from them

>>10042772
Madfest is the main one now! They come to Perth.

>>10042778
Yawn. We all know Runkies ran off with the money, stop acting like anyone else had anything to do with it.

So the Australian Game Awards nominations are out, and has a category for Cosplayer Of The Year.
nominees include:
>Wirru
>Beke
>Henchwench
>Infamous Laura,
>Yeliz
>Variable

as well as a bunch of names never heard before
oh boy

>>10042755
There is a fb group but no one has organised anything for ILD and the last meet was.... July?

>>10042753
Because cosplay and Lolita is about making yourself look good and that attracts a lot of vain, shallow and narcissistic people who are the type of people that cause drama.

>>10043265
Yeliz? For what, sticking her ass out, being super arrogant, getting help on costumes and not crediting people, striving only to be famous, and thinking shes an int cosplay er when she visits one country ok

>>10043265
lmfao how is Variable still relevant? Did she get all her white knights to nominate her?

someone should really make a new melbourne comm. I'd do it if i could but i can't for at least the next 6 months unless someone is willing and able to co-found.

>>10043377
Why? Melbourne will still have the same people in it

>>10043377

What's the point of making a second comm nobody's going to host events for?

>>10043313
how is this bitch still relevant? comment also relevant to infamous laura

>>10043313
Wow that's surprising. There's better cosplayers than her. And wonder how she will react when she doesn't win

>>10043265
Variable probably got in there by threatening the judges of a possible sexual harassment case she made up.

>>10043265
What a fucking joke. I'd like to know what the criteria was for this. Who sucks the most dick?

>>10043497
looks like tim vega from melbourne cosplay comm went online and nominated all his senpais

>>10042491
not insecure and safe spaces are for communists and gypsys, but my main interaction with the cosplay community is occasionally lurking this board so everything i've read is about drama and useless.

Ive heard of smash and supanova and comiccon but they've already past this year and i wanna try make friends before i wonder around a convention hall awkwardly dressed as the bridge from Bridge to Terabithia by myself

>>10043511
he's one of the good ones honestly

>>10043497
who cheats on the most people too

>>10043265

The whole event is quite literally just a scam for peoples money. The guy has been super smart with the idea of it but went about it in the most backwards way. They are selling tickets for fans for almost 200 bucks and get access to a "special meet and greet" which i'm assuming involves nominees, but most of them/if not all of them haven't even been contacted by the event saying they are nominated? let alone using their names and following to sell tickets. its gross

If you go through the categories it looks so unprofessional, half the people have HQ pictures, the others barely have their logo, there is even a few with the back of peoples heads lmao. If you're involved with Esports too you can notice a trend of most people nominated work for/ or are close with the creator which is very -thinking emoji -

Also Variable people up for "cosplayer of the year" makes me laugh, like who in their right mind???

The whole thing will obviously be super successful because the moment people see they are up for an award they haven't bothered looking into it and have just told their followers to go vote, gaining the website and event traffic and selling those ridiculously priced tickets. im just sad they went about it so snakey :( this is so long wow apologies

TLDR; stealing peoples money to attend and exploiting peoples names i guess. ??

>>10043265
It seems they just chose Aussie Cosplayers with the biggest followers on Instagram great marketing strat desu

>>10044148
>when Variable gets nominated on the back of her old-ass career and hasn't brought out anything new for god knows how long, while amazing craftmanship cosplayers like Major Sam don't even get nominated

A list that includes Will, whose craftmanship is average at best, as well as a bunch of costhots who prefer T&A over craftmanship? Yeah, this whole event is a cashgrab using popularity and nothing more

>>10044148
Are we not gonna mention the harley quinn cosplayer is nominated?
Who literally doesnt make any of her costumes herself?

>>10044457
Honestly there's probably two people in there worthy of the award. Cosplay Chris and Astrokerrie seem to have invested time making costumes and working in the games industry with these companies. This is meant to be a Video Games awards night right? Half these kids have barely dipped their toes into the video game industry

It's really shitty cause one of my mates was nominated and they make excellent stuff, they take months making it. They weren't informed at all and now they're feeling like crap cause of negative comments saying they don't deserve it when they never even realized they were nominated. It's really unethical just nominating people without even asking or having them apply for it.

Also fuck Variable getting on that list that lying cunt.

>>10045022
Most of the nominees didn't even know about it / didn't want to be thrown into this popularity contest only to be shit talked about

>>10045138
If you're Variable. You deserve this for the way you've treated people for a long time

>>10045022
Fuck off yeliz

>>10044714
i have literally never heard of cosplay chris

Stop doing D.Va cosplays, you thots.

See they should have chosen jjcosplay18 for cosplayer of the year.

>>10046097
Adding to this. Stop doing assassins creed cosplays

>>10046265
I had to insta search who this person is. Hahaha oh dear!

>>10046265
Nah man. Twoswordscosplay for cosplayer of the year! He lets everyone know he is famous and a world class cosplayer, because he competed in nationals, whenever he can. I think he recently tricked a small convention into having him as a cosplay special guest as well.

>>10046647
That's big talk for someone with 42 followers hahaha

She’s always so, so negative, all the time, it’s exhausting. Always complaining non stop about how she’s being harassed, bullied or doxxed, hasn’t released new costumes in forever and only updates ‘no filter’ selfies and boob selfies with obvious meitu and circle lenses. I would want someone this mediocre and drama filled being called ‘cosplayer of the year’.

>>10046647
My god he can’t even spell the damn character he’s cosplayed correctly! He completely desecrated the lich king, like I think that costume makes that awful crash bandicoot from a few months ago look like a masterpiece.

Seriously though what is up with these “it’s my first ever costume/build” people entering high level costume comps and making it into the competition yet they look like a dog’s breakfast that has been shat out?

>>10043265
Only one nomination was needed to be considered.
Apparently they selected "PG cosplayers".
Um. Sure.
And on top of that, it's not about who has the best work, it's a popularity contest.
Oh and Varia is only there because she's friends with the people running the scam uh I mean "awards".
It's a fucking mess.

I just can't with jjcosplay18 anymore

>>10045787
he and infamous harley were dating at one point

>>10046958
who?

>>10046958
try hard brisbane guy who only ever does characters he thinks will make him look 'badass' (except they dont) but to his credit has worked out a way to get the women onside by presenting them with attention and photographs

Cosplay is a degenerate hobby and is just a way for thots to fuel their need for attention while pretending it's not because men want to fuck them.

Prove me wrong.

jjcosplay18 is such a creepy guy,i saw him at a con make a girl so uncomfortable once,she ran away from him,but on social media,people treat him like his normal, very strange?????????

>>10047541
how, when thats correct??
>>10047619
read my above post

>>10046823
The comps are such a joke these days. I think they need better prizes and better vetting of costumes, bad quality should just be booted out.

>>10046823
I can't believe he offers commissions.......

>>10047852
Odyssey is putting Championships to shame with their prizes.
>"Hey you won this category in our national comp! Here's a laminated certificate and maybe a medal if you are lucky, thanks sport"
vs
>"hey you didnt win the major $1000 prize but here's a $250 prize from our sponsor"

>>10047977
This is why I'm entering Oddesey instead of Champions now.

>>10047977
>>10047980
I've been out of the loop for a while, what's Oddysey?

>>10004324
I tend to not care what people think, I don't think I have any problems, at least none that I hear about.

But a few years ago I had someone try to destroy me and out me from the group I was in. I had never even heard this person's name before, not seen them online, so I don't know how they would even know about me to try and do that. Also it was another photographer (using that world loosely) and not a cosplayer.

I've had a friend from the community bad mouth me a lot, I overheard them bad mouthing me to my house mates when I let them live at my place for free. I literally had no idea until I overheard them. They would have continued to do that at least for a while after I cut off our friendship and kicked out her.

Some people who you think may be friends will also just see you as a commodity (whether they realise it themselves or not).

You may get lucky or unlucky, in some cases there's just no avoiding it. That's just how it is in the community.

>>10004776
I've had people defend me only for the attacker to claim it was me pretending to be other people.

Actually there's even cases of someone saying how awful X person is, and then someone claiming "of this must be anon, only he would have a problem with her".

>>10008200
Fucking run the other way.

Unless you hate yourself.

>>10010363
Awful. I was with "the one". No longer with "the one". Life doesn't have that spark anymore. Getting laid doesn't have that spark. I spend all my time outside of cons/shoots alone and on my own.

>>10004324
5/10 30 yr old guy, isn't that what most photographers look like anyway? You'f fit right in.


In all seriousness though, if you can deal with the backlash of not getting content out on top, having cosplayers dick you around, people not willing to pay you for your work, or edit/layer filters over your work, then you're looking at the right industry.

Just don't be a fucking creep, and you're set.

>>10017808
Sorry but I want to photograph what looks aesthetic, often that may be cute girls, that's just the way it is, photography is a visual art/medium. These days there's a lot more stuff that isn't cute girls that is aesthetic or has value then there used to be a few years ago though, so it's not always that way.

>>10047541
Doesn't matter, good way for me to get photos of stuff I like

>>10048535
sounds like my life right now, anon
they moved on in like a week too

>>10048586
Ive been eating fast food for every meal for a few months now, luckily I dont get fat, but yeah.

Apart from part time work, thats all I really have to do to go outside usually... walk to go get some shitty food is the highlight I have to look forward to and of course its over in minutes.

Anyone know where to get 2 sided smooth EVA foam?

>>10048535
now try that looking like a shit potato [terrible in photos] and you get someone who only leaves to work and buy groceries, and says maybe 10 words a day

>>10048586
and what makes it better? this being the day of their glorious birth [i think]

>>10048650
Lumin's workshop. If the thickness you want isn't sold out.

When people on mcc are complaining about lack of likes and followers on their instagram. Like their content isn't that good anyway.

>>10048843
what do you mean anon

>>10049541

>>10049488
the fact that the convo material became so deep and hit hard, on my exes birthday, which felt delightful

Sick of that fucking guy and his barbie doll persona. I haven't seen the person behind the doll so I'm just guessing it's a he, a balding, fat he.

>>10051620
you and me both

>>10051240
i feel ya gull

>>10043265
Dick sucking competition. The only one that deserved the win was Astrokerrie.
Beke and Laura just fuck who they can to get to the top, we all know they have absolutely no skill and lose vaginas. God I want both of them to burn.
Someone fuck these cunts over.
Shiiva should have placed for sure.

>>10052909
Yeliz has more skill than Laura and beke too, same with will. The whole thing was just popularity based. I mean when's the last time beke did something decent Cosplay wise, same with Laura ..

Did anyone see all the bullying stuff going on with infamous Harley and her paying out on Chris for being unemployed, good times.

>>10052909
Uhh.. the only person who deserves to win is Henchwench

>>10051716
<3 ^_^

>>10052909
Since when did Laura ever do that? She dated Chris because they worked well together and she hasn't fucked anyone to "get to the top". She doesn't care about fame. If you knew her, you'd know that.

Can someone please explain the hype with Laura and Beke?
Why do people like them so much

>>10053038
rather astrokerrie win, she got skill and didnt cheat on her husband

>>10053716
> Laura doesn't care about fame

what about that time she set up a gofundme so she could get money to go to brisnova?

>>10053741
Shut the fuck up Annalise, no wonder you've got no fucking friends.
No one cheated on anyone.
Stop taking your personal bullshit out on other people, get some help because this has got to stop.

>>10053750
how is that about fame? she went to meet the character she cosplayed
