Aside from a wig this really isn't better since the new makeup doesn't even look coraline esque

>>10242480
Wow she got. Abetter phone amazing

>>10242519
Better wig
Larger button eyes
Better fitted coat

>>10242480
Is this a self post? It's not a bad thread idea but it's not a very good example to start

>>10242561

>>10242561
>>10242564
Are you mad or something? The point stands

>>10242480
the older one is much cuter!

>>10242480
The newer one is definitely an improvement, are you guys blind? The only thing is that the 2015 coat was more accurate but looks kinda lower quality (might just be camera quality).

You all are smoking crack if you think that terrible wig is an improvement over the natural hair on the left

>>10242480
I have an unimprovement, it’s probably cheating to post belle

>>10242683
wait this is the same girl? which is the before and which is after....

>>10242539
>better fitted coat
you can’t even see the fit of the coat in the pics. selfpost confirmed

>>10242600
>>10242678
>>10242681
Don't indulge the selfposter and let the thread die

>>10242561
Ahhh jodelle ferland
She was great in Tideland
Wonder what she's up to these days

>>10242871
self posting on 4chan apparently

>>10242865
>>10242877
Who gives a shit that it’s a self poster, are we just supposed to grab shit from everyone elde now?
>>10242736
Left is before, right is after.

>>10242906
So, it got worse? I don't understand.

>>10242922
It says unimprovement right there on the post you replied anon

>>10242897
Genuine improvement, good job anon

>>10242897
Stop self posting
[spoiler]for some dumb fucking reason[/spoiler

>>10242997
Why? Nayrt but /cgl/ culture has become poorer, less fun and more salty just because people stopped self posting. This is meant to be a general improvement thread! Why shouldn't the gundam-fag post the quality before/after image just because it's his own? Go back to your own homeboard where spoilers work, you miserable party pooper.

>>10242906
Selfposting is fine, pretending you’re not selfposting when you are, isn’t.

>>10243032
well i feel like this thread encourages self-posting, because who saves improvement side by sides of people other than themselves?!

>>10243229
thought that was obvious but /cgl/ has become even more kneejerky as of late

Only other thing I have atm is a comparison of my first prop with a v2 i did 5 years or so later

>>10243231
naisu!

>>10242897
>>10243231
Do you have a blog site or anything where I can read on your processes and how you made these? They're really high quality and the gundam are really cool. I was always a fan of cosplaying but never did any myself. Your builds are what inspired me to take the leap and try cosplaying. I've already started researching and trying to use pepakura designer but I'm not sure where to go next.

>>10243229
There's a difference between self-posting one thing and self-posting a bunch of pictures then complimenting yourself as if you're a different poster

>>10243319
You do realize this is next to impossible to prove right? imo its more annoying that every thread devolves into a bunch of finger pointing about who is self posting and who isn't. If you'd just post some content that was relevant to the discussion the irrelevant stuff would eventually get buried and this board wouldn't be as dead as it has become.

>>10243272
I upload wip photo galleries on my fb. If you want you can PM me there and I can help you out with any specifics. Ive got links to various resources and guides.

>>10242600
Yeah the new one is too fat

>>10242480
2019 looks better, good job.

Never knew /cgl/ was filled with a bunch of jealous whores

>>10242519
>>10242530
>>10242551
Wow it’s almost like progress is progress or something

>>10249428

I literally just got here and the cattiness levels are hilarious.

Here's a before and after snapshot of my Zabuza cosplay. What do you think? Any noticeable difference?

>>10242480
The size of the buttons on the left are better.

>>10249486
Nice muscle Brah, we out here making huge gains

>>10249807
Thanks I've been trying to work out more to get more of a Zabuza body.

>>10249486
the face wrap and pants look better too, gj anon
next i would change the metal belt thing to be foam instead of fabric

>>10250571
Thanks for the input! I'll keep that in mind.

>>10243231
It's summer, anon. These months the board is filled with 12 year old newfags trying to be edgy. But they have no idea about how these boards work. Just wait until kids go back to school and 4chan will be restored to normal.

>>10249428
Actually the amount of jealous fatties each year is worse.

>>10242897
how the fuck do you move/see/breath with that

>>10253579
My suits especially the newer ones are actually pretty mobile. I can sit down and get around pretty well. I can even reach my face to drink or eat. The eyes are mirrored plastic film, I can see out but you cant see in. The masks are also attached with magnets and can be removed in a hurry if I need to see better to navigate a tight spot. Things get hot, but the suit has fans and stuff to help me keep cool.

>>10242480

Very nice Coraline. Though difference is better phone camera?

I don't have any real remakes to compare, but I did make a lot of changes to my Mercy.
Mostly the same costume, but just a lot of improvements I couldn't do at the time.
I originally made the ponytail for the wig, but even still using that same piece of crap, I got much better at styling. Also leg armor was a first, and I got much better at 3D modeling for the staff and necklace.
Also, even though the photo doesn't really do it justice, I think I'm much better at makeup now.

>>10253882
I like your wings, the simple overlaid shapes are very minimalistic and clean, it really works. Laser cut PVC?

>>10253928
Thank you! It's all laser cut, including the harness design. The purple is Wisteria from delvies plastics, the black is all either foam board and the wrap around black on the top is craft foam.
The rest is just led's, hinges, and some ribbon straps.

>>10242480
rhinoplasty?

>>10249486
>>10250571
I agree that the belt could be better, but i don't think you need to go with foam. Use two layers of pleather and maybe some interfacing to make actual belts with some structure and i think you'll be fine. What's with the foam obsession when fabrics and fabric-like materials will work just fine, if not better?

>>10253882
the leg armor looks really good

>>10258736
I specifically meant foam for the silver 'metal' parts that are currently made out of pleather

>>10258944
Oh I see what you mean! My bad, that's valid. Yeah, the buckle would be better if it were made from foam or foam clay.

>>10253882

losing weight made the cosplay 10x better
