/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

You'll want make-up to look very pale, and soft. MAYBE some light lipgloss, but nothing heavy. Everything should look, again, soft.
You could get some colored contacts, if you'd like. Try for ones that are very bright colors. Sky blue, emerald green.
Also, be sure to get some elf ears. Depending on the style of elf you are going for, these can vary greatly. But no matter which style you choose, be sure to practice blending the seam to your actual ear as best as you can.

Skin bleach and ear surgery

What is it for? Cosplay? LARP? Other reasons? And what sort of elf? There are hundreds of different elf varieties.

Stop being a casual. Get the surgery, faggot.

>>6528036
God...elves ears are so fucking ugly...what a dumb bitch

>>6528036
>Want, but afraid of the pain ;_;

forever a normal-eared wimp

>>6528053

yeah, what an idiot.

>>6528066

I'd do it, need more funds.

LOTR elves.. white people with pointy ears.

Be white.

>>6529011
>using WoW as a source
Fuck off

>>6528036
OP here. I am definitely doing that when I get the money.

>>6528057
That's why they give you pain meds.

Contacts and clear skin. Pointy ears, too. Look as ethereal and pure as possible.

>>6529040 Hush now.. the adults are talking.


>>6528012
Are you trying to be Arwen or a LOTR elf in general?
No drow or a dunmer? :(

>>6528012
this is cgl, dont you mean dwarf?

Its all about facial structure. Some people look like elves, some don't. Generally long faces and delicate facial features are elf-like.

>>6528036

Goddamn, I wish there was somebody in the UK willing to train how to do this surgery. I've looked and there is none.

GAY.

Make your eyebrows go up at the ends. That usually looks pretty elven.

>>6528066
I like doing drugs but it's destructive and lowers my social standing so when people say it's a dumb choice I can't say their wrong... jsut like getting stupid elf surgery.

>>6529212
she's pretty

>>6528036
Just to let you know, these pictures where a prank that was done a while ago..

Depending on the structure of your natural ear the procedure can vary in how dramatic they are. I know one girl who had to have hers done twice because they morphed a bit during the healing process.

Also the mod-artist who do these types of this often travel around, if you keep an ear out (no pun intended) interested persons may be able to catch them when they visit an area near you.

>>6529194
You can't afford that kind of thing, Spoony.

>>6529218
bitch you can't even spell. Thus everything you say is invalid.

>>6529220

Agreed. She looks like a sassy, elven Esmeralda.

Oh fuck! ESMERALDA = MESMER
MESMERALDA

I bet everybody else realized that connection years ago right...

>>6529220
Yeah. I wish i knew who she was. I know she's lebanese and she had plastic surgery to look like that, though.

>>6529223
Where I live 'ear pointing' isn't even $200.

>>6529232
She kotified her lips lol.

>>6528012
suck cock everyday

>>6529233
>bragging about living in Mexico
Fun fun with your AIDS infected scalpels

>>6529233

Where do you live...

Had my ears pointed three years ago, didn't turn out as dramatic as some.. maybe later on I'll get them re-pointed. Never have I regretted the decision even for a second.

>>6529270
How much did it cost?

>>6529272
roughly $500, which sounds like a lot I know. But if you consider the questionable legalities some of the artist have to risk to do stuff like this it's really not that bad.. (especially in my area)

I would be sketched out paying around $200 unless I knew the person personally..

Rewatching LOTR now that I'm all about cosplay and stuff made me realise that Arwen and Elrond both are wearing circle lenses in all of their close up scenes. Now, if I just had some idea of what type of lenses those where.

>>6529272
Different anon, but could you give details on the process as well?

>>6529270
>>6529282

Guuurrrlll!
Do you get a lot of compliments on them?
I want this procedure so bad. Somebody really needs to start doing it in the UK.

>>6529155

>that feel when ex was dressed up as Drizzt (and oh shit he looked good, shame I can't find pictures) some years ago, perfect bodypaint and all
>after con messy making out oh yeah, black shit all over my face (the paint didn't smudge at all during the day)

sorry, had to tell this. it was awesome ;_; sage for no contribution

>>6529289
I think different artist have unique methods of achieving the end result. But mine where done by having a pizza wedge shape cut from the cartilage, and then folded and sewn into shape.

I have to leave now, but if you have anymore questions you can spam the shit out my tumblr. http://lucy-devilkid.tumblr.com/

This reminds me of "How do I look like a doll, y'all? xD" threads.

>>6529287
Not sure, but 9mm SFX makes a lot of lenses for movies and such.
Hellboy, Death Race, Black Swan, Resident Evil, 28 Days Later, ect.
They've gotten rid of a few, but still have a good selection of high-quality lenses.
http://02a5349.netsolstores.com/

>>6529330
The real life doll trend is dead. All the freaks need something new and exciting to aspire to.

>>6529232
yeah, she still looks lebanese. knowing she got surgery to look like that disappoints me yet gives me hope

>>6529302
Jelly.

>>6528036
>tfw I have elf ears naturally and I fucking hate them
I need elf-ear-reversal surgery.

Like an elf goddess, of just like an elf?

To the people seriously considering novelty ear surgery: do you plan on never getting a job ever?

>>6530592
Just wear your hair over your ears for the interview.

>>6530595
>>6530592

Or claim a weird birth defect.

>>6530599
Seriously do this.
If they say something just scream GLASS CEILING ACT and wait for them to start paying you.

>>6530607
>>6530595
>>6530599

Sounds like you three have it all figured out! Alright, I withdraw my objection, go ahead and keep enabling mental illness

>>6529229
what are you going on about?

>>6530613
>Doing what you want with your appearance is mental illness!
Yeah. Okay, sheep.

>>6529239
elves rarely perform sexual acts you fucking retard

>>6531244
That kind of slut shaming is what makes fantasy fanfiction writers so upset.

That's species-ist.

>>6529270
Do you ever have job issues with this?
Because I'm not sure my office manager would be cool with me coming in with pointy ears.

I want to look kind of like a post-steampunk pre raphaelite elf.

People tell me I look like one now that I'm starting to lose weight and if I'm going from having been obese my entire adult life to being fit I might as well reinvent myself.

I think people just say that because high cheekbones+long ginger hair+ green eyes though.

>>6529212
How would one even do that? I am clueless about eyebrows.

I guess you'd need to be thin and /fit/ and probably tall to get the stereotypical elf look. Long hair. Don't dress like one of those annoying elf raver types, but you could probably enhance this with clothing. No idea otherwise.

>>6531292
no it's fucking canon.
if you would actually read tolkien's work, you would know.
i mean, if we're talking about non-tolkien elves, then make up whatever you want, but op used a picture of arwen, so i'm strictly talking about elves from his work.

>>6531322
I love how you didn't get that.

I was hoping the "species-ist" part would say something, in case the "slut shaming" flew over your head.

Nope.

>>6531322
In Tolkien's work elves were a halo short of being angels, of course they rarely had sex, he was a christian apologist and best bros with CS Lewis.

In most fae/elven people myths, though, it's a very different story.

Also, I think the "suck a lot of cock" thing was more "prostitute yourself for money for surgery and other body mods and lenses and stuff so you can look more like an elf."

>>6531326
i take tolkien very seriously
my apologies for fagging so hard

That feel when you were made fun of in grade school for your ears that stick out and extremely long hair people called you "elf girl" but you didn't care because it made you feel like princess zelda

>>6531340
>take tolkein very srs
of course you do, the hobbit just came out

RL elf here, stub objectifying our people plz. You will never be Asian nor a beautiful ethereal elf-kun. Gomenasai!

>>6531362
I almost replied to this. Nice troll.

>>6531376
>nice troll
lol no it wasnt
if you didnt start laughing while reading this you have an entire forest up your ass
take a chill pill anon

>>6531376
check your human privilege

>>6531386
Nah, I'm just mildly stoned on painkillers from a recent injury, and I was all "Why would this anon think elves= asian?" and then I was like "wait... troll?"

Bump for original thread.

>>6529212
Seriously how can I make my eyebrows do this?
Pls respond.

>>6531410
Comb your brows upward, maybe wet them with water and then comb em up so that they dry in that position (thats what works for me. You might have to get some eyebrow gel.) Tweeze the outer ends of your eyebrows from below until your arch is pretty much gone. You really have to develop it over time to see what works for you, and if you tweeze too much its okay, theyll grow back

>>6529218
How does doing drugs lower your social standing? If you're a young adult, pretty much everyone, including businesspeople and other young professionals, is doing drugs. Know you're limits, don't act like an idiot, and don't become a junkie, and there shouldn't be any problems with your social standing as far as drug use goes.

>>6531420
THANK YOU!

>>6531346
>implying the sexual habits of elves were mentioned in the hobbit

bump

>>6531427
nope, this is so wrong and you don't even realize it's wrong.

Why do people who don't suit them, get them?! Pic related

>>6529011
Aww, you made me nostalgia!
>>6529084
Me too, Op. I just tossed out my industrials.

These just look plain stupid and incorrect in shape. Ruined with stretched lobes

Once again, someone who doesn't suit them imo

>>6529011
Imagine how much it would hurt to roll around in bed with night elf ears.

Thing is, you look at her ears for the movie and they are no way as dramatic as all these modifications

I...I have no words for this

What a joke. Can stupid/ugly people stop getting the mod? Especially if you're going to ruin the effect with plugs

Again, ruined

>>6531346
The Hobbit was fucking terrible though

i don't believe i've ever seen elf ears done well.
like, i've seen seamlessly done ears, ears that are perfectly healed and look like nothing was ever done to them.
but they are never properly proportioned. human ares aren't long enough to point without looking stubby.

>>6534041
I can't even look at her ears. I keep getting drawn to her giant ass lips.

Ew

>>6534057
1/10 troll harder

What is this stupid trend of pointed ears and plugs? Do they not understand that it takes away the whole complete point? They're all just trend huggers jumping on the next new thing

I don't understand why these people want to make themselves look worse

Why did she not use the money to fix her teeth and complete a beautiful smile? Instead she threw a ton of shrapnel at her face and gave herself fucked up brows

Looks fun!

>>6534065
clue #1
if someone has blown out plugs (and wearing jewelry like that too. uhg fuck) they obviously do not give two shits about the body mod world. they just want the biggest, most shocking mod they can have.

i legit don't think i've ever met anyone who had healthy lobes other than professional body mod artists. it's fucking disgusting, i don't understand how anyone can handle seeing their bodies in that state and not do something about it.
if i get any sort of issue with any of my piercings i immediately hide them until they're fully healed again. it's just embarrassing and looks like you're infected or something.

>>6534064
I'm not trolling. I honest to God thought it was a horrible movie. Book inaccuracies aside, it was a boring movie with bad humor. I feel like someone took a shit on my childhood.

This actually look flawless but then I noticed his big gaping hole for his plug. Shame

>>6534077
I saw a monstrosity who obviously just gave up on what she thought about herself but it was NSFW but you pretty much described her. Terrible boobs and face so she just splattered them with very heavy tattoos, bad makeup, piercing, shaved head and the ears

Whoops

>>6534055
they look so thin they are about to break

>>6534076
>Big gaping hole
Really honey? That's hardly a 0

>>6534084
i have seen some beautiful fucking people, heavily modded, not a square inch of their body that doesn't have some sort of testament to hard work on their behalf of making their body the body they want.

but then there are the people who go down to the place with the neon "TATTOO" sign and "2 4 1 piercing tuesday" and they load themselves up with less than a thousand dollars of whatever catches their eyes off the artwork on the walls

i hate how unregulated the tattoo and piercing world is, both on who can give them and who can receive them.

>>6534093
Yea, this is what stops me from going to the $200 as much as you can take- place by my house. I want some really pretty scenes, not big black smudges.

>>6534058
Half-elves. All of them.

>>6534075
lol k.

>>6534089
A stretched lobe is a stretched lobe. Still unattractive with Elf Ears

>>6534099
i went to a shop like that for my small tattoos. the only bad thing about nice shops before you go there is most of them have waiting lists, and they have a shop minimum that's way higher than the cost of what you'd want.

as long as you research, and make sure who you're going to isn't some fucktard who just jumped the gun those places can be okay. not everyone gets lucky enough to work in a nice shop.

i'm so excited right now, though. i went on a whim to ask the man who i've wanted to tattoo me for over a year to set up my appointment, since he always books 2 months in advance. but he had an opening next week. it's big enough for the tattoo i want to do in one sitting.
i almost peed myself.

>>6534064
the hobbit wasn't terrible but def not incredibly good either.
pj done goofed

>>6534116
I was really pleased with my first tattoo, and I will probably go back to that shop, but I don't know if I should pay alot for my next one. Quality doesn't come cheap, usually.

I think Mori/ or Hama girl goes much better with the elf theme. All these raver's and shaved eyebrows and clown lips like downright silly.

maybe there's a way to pin your ears down and wear a prosthetic? It's not realistic to get surgery. And you guys can engineer a solution to hide your floppy human ears I imagine. A Prosthetic done by a fantasy sculptor would probably be more 'realistic' than anything a surgeon could muster up.

>>6534174
Mori is a very elvish fashion, for sure. i would love for my closet to turn into like the black version of Mori. i love the use of layers, texture, and different fabrics instead of prints or whatever.
but until i get back down to stick thin it just looks messy and bad-lady on me to wear so much drapery.

i'm amazed at how inexpensive this will be. but at the same time it's not really that cheap. just, compared to how much i expected with this guy.
he has his own studio, it's just him and one other guy. and like i said he's always fully booked for months. i was just expecting... it to cost a lot more.

>>6534177
But the coolest thing about surgery would be that you aren't wearing prosthetics. I hope this becomes a more popular and safe procedure, but I'm wearing fakes till then.

>>6534168
Yeah that's fair. I mean it's definitely not the worst movie I've ever seen, but by Jackson's standards it was up there. I expected more from him. I actually even understand the whole Necromancer subplot, because it's supposed to tie-in with Sauron's resurrection despite not being mentioned in the books, but the..."feel" of the movie was off. The humor was bad- with the three stooges trolls and the Goblin King. I feel like the only thing that movie was missing was Jar Jar Binks. Oh wait, they had it...it was fucking Radaghast.

>>6534199
I think they're cute and all, but surgery is still far off. They are getting there. I think our monkey ears are cuter. But I understand the desire to modify. Where do you get your prosthetics? There are a large number of factors to getting the material surface 'correct' for an ear.

correct me if I'm wrong, but don't devils and shit have this kind of ears also( sometimes)? I'm bringing this up because most of the people in the pictures do not seem particularly interested in getting the complete "elvish look". maybe they are just trying to be *~edgy~* (but if all the pictures were tagged with "elf ears" then disregard this comment)

>>6534328
i'd be willing to say most non-human human shaped creatures (vampires, elfs, werewolves in human form, faries, demons) tend to have pointed ears.
it's one of the few things you can do to a human figure without making it too animalistic or "furry" like. so they can still be "sexy" without it being too animal fetish-y

>>6534064
People's opinions about it are pretty divided. I thought it was alright, though a major step down from the previous movie trilogy IMO. It was one book so they should have just made it one movie.

>>6529212
>tfw you have a cowlick on the end of your eyebrow that makes it stick up and there's absolutely nothing you can do to get rid of it

are there no elf makeup tutorials?

>>6534061
It looks like she had stretches but her ear snapped.

but i want elf ear surgery so badly. sadly, i don't think it will fit with my style. i don't have any piercings anymore, no visible tattoos, and have normal long back hair, but my style of clothing probably wouldn't suit elf ears.

p.s. i found this picture on tumblr. people seriously gauge their noses?

>>6536138

Jesus christ, I'm gagging think about having those in a area that's really sandy, dusty, and windy:
Nose infection here I come!

>>6536138

It's not called gauging, a gauge is a form of measurement. It's sort of a pet peeve of mine when people call stretching "gauging".

But yes! People do stretch their noses. Labret piercings are also quite commonly stretched.

Also, that's an accident or meat legs waiting to happen, putting that much weight on a stretched lobe is a bad idea. It's also a catching/ripping risk.

>>6536204
my bad. i know it's called stretching, but literally every person i've known who has stretched ears calls it gauging. it's not something i'm interested in, so i never researched it. thanks for letting me know, though! now i won't sound stupid if i ever say it to someone else.

it's kind of how a lot of people say "labret" incorrectly...

>>6536221

No problem, I'm not trying to get on your case! It's just something that really irritates me.

>>6536204
know it all

>>6536230
nah, i didn't take offense to it at all. you weren't rude at all and actually backed up your claim, unlike 95% of 4chan. i'm not angry when people correct me, whether they are actually right or wrong, as long as they aren't dicks.

>>6535147
