/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Elias, the Ewok, wears this at ever con in Seattle. It's tradition.

>>6493539
There are quite a few great ones up here, yes.

I'll bite.

>>6493582
I see him/her all the time! Love a hug

My favorite, Ani-Mia, used to live in Seattle but then I then I think she moved.

I think we also have some of the most creative cosplayers

>>6493713
Ahh, it was great until I noticed her legs. If she had better legs it would make it better.

The Muscles Glasses from Kumoricon

He goes into subway and ordered a 5 dollar foot long that he stacked with triple extra everything, including bacon. Total cost was about 25 bucks. He said this is worth it.

>>6493887
CAPTCHA ate my pic

Sorry, dumping all my best Seattle con pictures to this thread. Sorry for all the pictures of Mia, I think she's gorgeous and I see her at every con.

>>6493966
my favourite. she is absolutely amazing and was so friendly in person, totally willing to talk about the details of he costumes.

>>6493768
Is this a self post or some shit?

>>6493713
those legs wtf

>>6494229
No, an acquaintance. Problem?

>>6493713
This is why I'm always going to wear nude panty hose whenever I cosplay. Everything's great until you notice how purple/blotchy/red/whathaveyou your legs are from walking around or standing all day.

>>6493539
I loved that Rei/bramble in that Nico Nico stream
how tall is she?

>>6494713
5'2" apparently

>>6493539
Wait a second.
That's not what the back of the plugsuits look like at all.

>>6494175
I like this Birdy cosplay it doesn't look that bad.

>>6493539
Ooh, who is the Asuka? She's pretty cute.

>>6494831
That'd be Shaynii.

After this thread, I'm actually pretty proud of the NW community.

>>6493900
I must know... what is she cosplaying?!

>>6496131
I may be talking out of my ass since I haven't lived anywhere else, but the NW scene (especially lolita) is amazingly accepting and drama-free. Relatively speaking, of course. Quite active as well, I know in Portland there's almost always some kind of photoshoot or meetup in the works.

>>6496139
It's from Guild Wars 2.

Ahhh this thread. I love it. A lot of my friends are on here!

>>6494713
>>6494798

Yep 5'2" Im short compared to Shaynii

>>6494812

Thanks it was a fairly difficult costume to make!

>>6496275

I think every community has their drama but yeah the NW community is pretty chill and Portland is always active with meetups and photoshoot events.

>>6494010
>>6493972
>>6493786
>>6493773
>>6493768
So I see we have quite a few (very well coordinated and cute!) local lolitas.
Here's a question for any of you Seattle con-going lolitas- Would it be alright if I asked for a photo of you girls? Whenever I see a lolita walking around Sakura con or PAX, I just think you're too cute. I want to look at your outfit more! But I know some communities have different thoughts on lolita photo ops. (It's not a costume! vs Wow, thank you!) I don't want to offend anyone.

>>6497481
Not a lolita, but I think photos are generally assumed to be okay at cons as long as you ask first, especially if you say something that indicates you know what lolita is ("Cute coord! Mind if I take a picture?" vs "Cute Little Bo Peep cosplay! Mind if I take a picture?")

>>6496667
Where do you two usually get your wigs? They are wonderful.

>>6496667
Have anymore pictures of your Birdy cosplay?

WAHOO LOCAL THREAD. Sage for no real contribution except for fervor.

>>6496275
>>6496667
Is this really true? I've been trying to make PDX cosplay friends for close to seven years, and I still haven't broken into the circle. Or am I just exceptionally awkward?

>>6497505

Our Rei and Asuka wigs are from Epic Cosplay I really love my Rei wig and the Asuka wig is hella easy to brush out. We usually buy our other wigs from there or ebay./taobao.

>>6497511
Here's another one.

>>6497527
Seven years?? Wow that seems like a long time. Have I ever met you at a meet up?

>>6497614
Awesome, thanks for the picture.

>>6497527
Jesus you're a fucking loser

>>6497614
Nope. But I have a friend who knows you, actually that is how I learned of you and became mad jelly. I'm not lucky enough to go to many meetups (partially due to transport, partially due to not knowing when they happen as I'm not well connected and am totally beta and won't invite myself), but I do have a Skype friend,and we dedicate our activities to scoping out things. Actually, it more like a two person stalking team/The Shaynii and Bramblehomie Appreciation Club. I wish I was joking.

>>6497640
It's not my fault I'm not popular. (´･ω･`)

Holy shit shaynii is tall. That loses some attractive points for me.

>>6497614
Why are you always so cute?
Even the casual pics you post on Facebook are adorable.
>Too shy to tell you who I am. ;_;

>>6497665
What meetups have you made it to?
I've found the community surprisingly accepting and easy to talk to the times I've met them.
Just lurk the con's thread that you're going to, and someone will probably post about the /cgl/ meetup.

>>6497665
Ahahaha a Appreciation Club? Okay sounds cool. If you want to get into the community in Portland more you should try joining groups on facebook. Theres a monthly photoshoot meetup, a Kumoricon a NEWcon one so you can join in on posts and news there.

>>6497776

Ahhhh who is this? I want to know.

>>6497715
Damn nigga you picky. I think she's like 5'6".

>>6498072
oh wow she's really cute. how have i missed her at cons!

>>6497527
Wow you too? Our cosplay scene was pretty much non-existent years ago. I have more friends from the Seattle area because of that. But Facebook/the internet has helped that out a lot.

What side of town are you on? A lot of the PDX area cosplayers are on Beaverton side. So if you're on the Gresham side it's really barren out there. I've always wondered exactly why this is...

>>6497929
>After much debating.
I'm the Dominic / Gino cosplayer from Kumoricon.
White suit, green cloak, blond wig? That guy.

>>6498072
She's 5'7

>>6498220
Don't know where you live, but where I live, that's considered small, verging on tiny.

>>6498222
>5'7''
Isn't that like 1.70m or taller ?
I would say that's normal/tall-ish but not small or tiny (unless you live in the north)

AHAHAHAHAHA
PNW THREAD IS BEST THREAD
I AM SURROUNDED BY COMRADES

>>6498246
Yes, I'm Nordic.

>>6498293
she would be small according to your standards but she's not nordic, she's american
The average height for american women is 5'5'' and hey she could still continue to grow, she's not a fully grown adult yet

>>6498082
Gresham side. Sucks McDucks. Although, I'm not really surprised, Beaverton is a happening place. I mean it has an Uwajimaya and a Mill End's all within the same block.
>>6497929
Our activities mainly include gossip and fantasizing about what it would be like to be in a cosplay group with you. Also lots of "My cousin's friend's aunt's neighbor saw so and so at the grocery store,"

>>6498296
Why do people call her "thick"? she's chubby.

>>6498296
slammin body, awesome skills and taste, but gotdom that face.

>>6498407
>>6498414
I honestly don't get the asslicking she gets here. If any of you were shown a picture of a new costume you didn't know was hers with the face blocked, you'd all be screaming about how fat and ugly she is.

No jelly if you'll believe it, I love her cosplays, just honestly confused. Far thinner and prettier girls here have been called obese ugly whores.

>>6498401

I live on the Gresham side too and yeah most of the cosplay community is in the Beaverton/Tigard area. A LOT of us Gresham and even Vancouver people make an effort to go to meetups though.

And also what people see us at the grocery store? OK.

>>6498407
>>6498414
The jellyfats are attacking on multiple fronts today I see.

>>6498414
What about it?

>>6498407
Stop being a jellyfat, nobody would call her skinny exactly, but she's perfectly healthy.

Any thoughts on Newcon? It's looking to be pretty cool for a small first year con so far. Bros everywhere.

>>6500079

I am super excited for this con. Probably just because Im doing so much for this convention. Being cosplay co-ordinator, event runner, and panelist is currently making my life super busy but I want to support this con in any way I can. I really want the first year to be great and show all the hard work Mike put into bringing this convention to life.

You guys should consider entering in the cosplay contest! The info is on the website and facebook page.

>>6498307
she is fully grown you fag

>>6498401
Well we've got Fabric Depot! That's at least a plus. I don't mean to sound creepy but what are your closest major streets (or land mark)? I would love to have more friends out here! I live down by the Gresham Fred Meyer....

Or wait, hmm, do you know Fawxsy or any of them? Cause now that I think about it we may actually know each other but not KNOW know each other...

Picture so it's on topic!

>>6500100
I'll post these here until there's a Newcon thread, but I'm somewhat confused as to what certain panels are about.
I'm new to cons, so don't know what things like the "Superhero Olympics" actually are. Might as well ask the one hosting the panel.

>>6500199
>17 year old
>fully grown
only in your dreams pedo

>>6500545
american catholic detected

>>6500550
I'm just stating the truth, she may have a mature body but she's only 17 so she's still a teenager

>>6500555
grown got nothing to do with it

ffs, bigots like you who hate science make me want to puke, you don't know fuck all about brain development and yet you go round big mouthed just because you 'heard' about some 'research' which said that 'zomg teenagers brains are not fully developed yet BREAKING NEWS AT 11 omg!!' without even knowing what that means you uneducated fucking pleb

go implement some catholic sharia law while you're at it

>>6500556
Then why do you have to be 18 to enter this website?
You are getting pretty buttmad pedo-chan

>>6500559
Or underage-tan

>>6500559
holy shit, are you fucking dumb

there's such a thing called the law, you know, and according to the american law, you're not a full human being if you're younger than 18

what, did you think that moot did some psychoanalysis & research and found out that poster younger than 18 are twice as likely to commit suicide from reading 4chan, so being the philanthrope he is, he decided to forbid those people from going here?

jesus fucking christ, either you're a retarded neckbeard, or you're the one who's underage and needs to get the fuck out of here, right now, before I'mma go ghetto on his as

>>6500574
>there's such a thing called the law,
k
Anywho can you please explain to me why are you so passionate about teenagers?

>>6500579
because I'm not? I only came here to tell you you're a fucking inbred hick who doesn't know anything about cognitive development but uses it as an argument because he heard it on TV, you pleb trash

go watch FOX some more and suck some o'reilly dick, you know you find it delishes

>>6500582
>because I'm not?
Oooh someone is in denial ~
After all this lecture you tell me this?

Go masturbate to Shaynii then you sick pedo fuck, hopefully your inferior genes will only seep through an old sock and not in one of your mature 17 year old girlfriends

>>6500588
0/10 you trash uneducated pleb
I'm not even male, you're just projecting your own sexual desires onto me, which explains why you're thinking about pedophilia all the time
unlike you, I know everything since I studied psychology, you white bi-atch

>>6500594
Noice.

>>6500594
>you're just projecting your own sexual desires onto me, which explains why you're thinking about pedophilia all the time
oh so you're turning this around uh? remember that I was the first one to call on your pedo-theories
0/10
>unlike you, I know everything since I studied psychology
Oh please tell me more wise Freud-chan <3 how many books did you write?
>you white bi-atch
I've noticed that you've already used this "white" attack before, why so? Why do you need to call me "white" to make yourself look superior, is it because you secretly feel inferior?

>>6500601
>>6500594
noice samefag

>>6500352
Yesss thats the great part about SE Portland and Gresham! Fabric Depot is pretty sweet apart from also having a couple of Jo Anns in the area.

>>6500542
I kind of wished they added the panel descriptions to the web page. I created and am hosting the 'Superhero Olympics' and I actually wrote a description for the panel (I also had no clue it was going to be a main event so I am bringing my A game to make this a good panel). I originally created the panel because there weren't enough panel submissions from other people so I made up a couple more on my own.

Anyways to answer your question its going to be a Superhero themed game panel. Ive written up and created a lot of games for audience to participate in (trivia, test of strength, charades etc.) and stockpiled some prizes to give out to participants.

>>6500616
>oh so you're turning this around uh? remember that I was the first one to call on your pedo-theories
no, cracker, you were the first who mentioned pedophilia ITT since it on your mind all the time
and now you tryina to turn it round, while telling me I'm turinin, fuck u, u bigot pleb shit
>Oh please tell me more wise Freud-chan <3 how many books did you write?
yes because every psyhcologist writes books, you dumb pleb
>I've noticed that you've already used this "white" attack before, why so? Why do you need to call me "white" to make yourself look superior, is it because you secretly feel inferior?
no, just to point out you're a privileged piece of shit that can't do with his privielges (having patriarchy and guaranteed women) taken away from him so he turns to raping little kids (I hope you only do it in your head)

>>6500643
>cracker
someone is racist! Why do you keep recurring to these nicknames? Insicurities? Have you been bullied for your race in the past?
>now you tryina to turn it round, while telling me I'm turinin, fuck u, u bigot pleb shit
so you're calling me a pleb while you can't even write a sentence without telling me to fuck off or insulting me? (also with incorrect spelling miss "I know everything because I studied psychology and you are the uncultured hick")

>his
>him
>he
I'm not a dude, but I know that you wish I was, just so your argument could be valid
so you (or at least someone who sounded like you at first) called me a fag, then an american catholic, a bigot, a pleb, fucking inbred hick, pleb trash, trash uneducated pleb, white bi-atch, cracker, bigot pleb shit, dumb pleb, privileged piece of shit and a guy

way to go Justice-girl, one day the world will recognize how truly deep you are and will beg you to share your knowledge with us poor unintelligent white people

you're grasping at straws, you should take anger management courses and the fact that you used all of these insults while trying to sound cultured and intelligent makes me sick, please log off the internet for a while so your panties can untwist

>sage because I feel like I'm talking to a fart and this is going nowhere, sorry for derailing the thread

Well this thread went downhill
Welp...

random cosplay ambassador 'guest' instant turn off..

>>6500882

That would be me thank you very much.

Actually got added on as a 'guest' a couple of days ago and I was really surprised. I only asked to work as a staff member running the cosplay contest, and helping run and host about 4 other panels. Con chair told me it was a way to repay me for all that I helped to contribute this year. So yeah. Im pretty fucking sure I actually worked to earn that position and feature as a guest. Just saying.

>>6500997
Great, you contributed. I applaud you for that. Does it make me care about you as a guest? nope. You are not relevant to me in any way whatsoever or to many congoers IMHO.

What do you plan to offer them? Insight on the charmed life of a Crunchyroll ambassador? How to be an above average but not amazing cosplayer? You certainly haven't done anything incredibly notable or I would have heard of you before. Check your ego honey.

>>6500997
Also, contributing to the convention has nothing to do with being a guest or your suitability as one. That's like saying someone who puts a lot of work into a charity should be a 'guest' instead of someone famous who has legitimate interest in them.

>>6501007

Don't care or like me? Not my problem.

ALSO "charmed life of a Crunchyroll ambassador" AHAHA I AM CRYING.

Yes my life is so charming and kawaii as an average cosplay ambassador.

>>6501016
wow... way to miss the sarcasm

that was exactly anons point, there is nothing special about you you're just an average cosplayer and thus not guest materials

>>6501016
I guess we know why you're pushing this con so hard now.

>This thread.

>>6501007
This being the first year the con's being put on, were you expecting some big-name guest?
Hell, it's not even a full, 3-day con.

>>6501042
there are one day, first year cons with better guests. they had one decent one they didn't need to put some random cosplay skank on a pedestal because she's someones friend. it looks unprofessional and dumb.

>>6501011
Thats true. I just felt like I worked hard to earn the title for this con. It kind of worked out that way OH WELL. Better to be appreciative and feel proud of yourself right?

>>6501019

Didn't miss it yo. I didnt think I was guest material if I wasn't even slightly contributing to the con. Like I said I never expected to get it.

Also hope you guys realize for a small first year con, you guys are being picky as hell about guests. Oh wait y'all always do that. You can't expect much from a small and not much of a well known group of guests. Focus your critiques on the programming and events.

p.s. I love u gaiz fer being mai biggest fanz.

>>6501056
We're having a local anime store boxing day sale with bigger guests than your 'con' has. Its not hard to find local and relevant people for smaller events.

Contribution to the convention has nothing to do with being a guest. There are plenty of people who contribute a large chunk of their lives to their events, are they guests? No, because it doesn't make sense.

I don't know who you are and I don't care. You're not even on my radar enough for me to dislike you. I'm pretty sure 90% of the cosplay community feels the same.

>>6501056

You aren't guest material though. Cosplayers probably shouldn't even be guests unless they're at GodSaveTheQueen or Volpin's levels of craftsmanship.

I've seen the terrifying things you do to wigs and it makes me cry inside.

>>6501056
Don't worry we're not just picking on you. The other mediocre cosplay chick shouldn't be a guest either.

>>6501110
Welp, at least the other cosplayer guest isn't a raging judgmental bitch and can make some really impressive costumes.
