>>6773508
....Is that a blanket?

>>6773508
couldn't you at least have started the thread with something a little bit pretty

>>6773508
Further proof that all genderbend cosplay in homestuck is awful.

>>6773545
>awful
>implying you wouldn't a Rory Lalonde

If you guys like pretty cosplays, then post them

>john egbert cosplay

>>6773559
Is this a joke.

>>6773556

>implying that that cosplay would get any attention if the dude wasn't thin with a prominent jaw

>>6773375 from the previous thread.
Aah that's true. I just change out glasses so the nose rest is a little different but I'll be sure to carry extra around with me just in case! Thank you.

I usually carry sealer with me everywhere, too so I'll probably try and spray people who seem to be smudging everywhere at Fanime. Especially at my booth. I don't really want grey smudges on my horns and other merch.

Is anyone else going to Fanime?

>>6773556
I do very much enjoy this genderbent. Probably could use a better belt but I like the design.

>>6773580
I'm actually not a fan of this genderbend. I couldn't tell you why, I just don't like it.

>>6773541
>>6773508
It's amymacabre/the dramalama 18+Bostonstuck mod. What did you expect?

>>6773508
Apparently that isn't genderbend, folks

>>6773596
The scarf's the wrong color, the belt's random on top of a pink much brighter than any of the others, and the capris+socks/tights combo just looks off.
The wig's also really flat, but that's more personal taste, with no curl and a bang sweep in the 'wrong' direction

>>6773623
Ahahahaha, jesus christ. This girl is a wackjob.

>>6773556
This cosplay is so overrated just because the cosplayer is male, even though it's low average tier. Why does it look like he has binding even though he's obviously cis male?

I only check the HS general cosplay threads to see if anyones posted my cosplays and the reaction

so far no ones posted them. at least this means i'm not "hilariously bad" tier

>>6773651
could mean we just haven't found you yet.

>>6773651
I tend to do that, too. I'm pretty glad I'm not on the radar. Though, I am kind of interested to see your cosplay now, anon. I'm sure it's pretty good, no?

>>6773659
Eeeh, I wouldn't say good. I'm good at making horns, and other thing relating to the characters I've cosplayed, but my outfits aren't ever anything impressive, I don't have much money.

Same with make up, actually, I just do basic make up.

I'm an incredibly average troll cosplayer, basically. I want to become a better cosplayer but I'm a bit of a pussy about criticism so I'd rather not post my stuff myself.

>>6773667
[sorry dropped my pics cause I'm using my phone]

I just ventured in to the world of painting my face for trolls and wow, just so much credit to you troll cosplayers haha. And I'm sure you're fine!

The only thing I was proud of on my cosplay was my planets. But, if you're ever wanting help or wanna be brave my email's in the field.

On topic of the thread though, does anyone have any Sylph designs or costumes that look pretty good? I'm hoping to give Aranea's a shot.

>>6773679

I'll e-mail you at some point later, you seem nice! And I could use some opinions on one of my cosplays so yeah. Just too nervous to throw it out in public other than on tumblr

good luck with Aranea!

>>6773688
...and that picture to. MAN I'm not doing well today.
And no problem! Whenever you can and yeah, I'd be happy to help out if you do ever have any questions. Also the people on the HSG threads, sometimes scary but are often really REALLY helpful if you ever have any questions, too.

And thank you!

>tfw you know you'll end up in these threads

>>6773836
No no no lets not go there again oh no

>>6773836
Every time I see this, it reminds me of why I hate the fandom.

>>6773836
Is this cosplayer always in this costume doing things like well...that?

>>6773954
Looks like troll Fantine

>>6773908
That Aradia is adorable.

>>6773908
ohgod
I think I just found my headcanon Sollux

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-_1FohAJBU

I've never seen a Scurrilous Straggler cosplay... Do I need to be the first?

>>6773651
Admittedly, I kind of do the same.

I do want to improve and get better, of course. I guess I just have to convince myself that if I'm willing to improve I'll have to be open to all critiques and criticisms, harsh as they will be. Right now, though, I'm just a wimp.

>>6774245
That's exile Jack Noir, right?
While on the matter, I haven't seen any cosplay of the Kings, exiled or otherwise.

So... /r/ that, please.

>>6774251
Argh, despite the fact that her left arm and her legs seem to show a bit of her actual skin, maybe it's the lightning, either way, that Feferi.

More of her, please.

>>6774251
I love that facial expression for meenah

>>6774257

Someone requested this Latula in the last thread, so here you go.

>>6774283

>>6774268
Whenever a condesce has a curly wig with a low neckline, all I can see is Deanna Troi

>>6774301
What is even going on with their shirt and makeup

>>6774305
And pants what. Is this a sad attempt at a genderswap or?

>>6774294

Oh my god, same.

Did she actually draw freckles on her face.

>>6774397
Poorly done symbol, the wig looks... a little strange.

>>6774402
Oh no, she did.

>>6774410
it looks like she has chocolate smudged all over her face
and literally has no clue how real freckles work

>>6774415
Glasses are too small, the green in her dress is barely noticable.

Sage for self-post, any critiques on this other than the loose thread on the sleeve?

>>6774421
Whoa, I've never seen Roxy done like this before. I kind of like it. It like it a lot more if her wig had the curl and was longer though.

>>6774426
Which character are you even supposed to be...

>>6774432
It's a personal God Tier, Seer of Time.

Question for you HSG, a group of my friends and I are doing the younger/baby betas to a local meetup next weekend and I'm doing Rose, however because she doesn't have a symbol I'm wondering if I should go with leaving her outfit all white, or if I should put a club symbol on her shirt? Which would be best?
pic unrelated.

>>6774429
please define 'done like this' because i have no clue what's so different about that roxy

>>6774437
i'd go with a club, since it'll make the concept pretty obvious even if it's not technically canon

>>6774432
I think its a personal god tier

>>6774438
Makeup and hair, I guess. She just really stands out to me as not like most of the Roxy cosplayers we see, and stands out in a good way.

>>6774426
For the hood I suggest making it a little bigger, it looks too far back on your head. I suggest using DamaraMegido's Seer hood design.

>>6774426
your skirt's hem is absolutely and unnecessarily huge
a hem should never really be more than an inch, and yours is so big that it looks like a space for a curtain rod

also your hood doesn't look quite right, like it needs to be ironed or something

>>6774426
It's really difficult to see your construction with that sort of photo - the pose is pretty unflattering. The only suggestion I can tell you off the bat is that you probably should line your sleeves.

>>6774445
i'd have to disagree with you there, man. the whole cat eyeliner thing is popular among roxy cosplayers and while the wig is cute, there's nothing particularly stellar going on there.
she's a very pretty girl, absolutely, and the costume is far from bad but i don't see anything that stands out

>>6774455

>>6774443
Actually in this pic, my hood's pushed up past my face; it falls a little past the tip of my nose, normally.
>>6774449
Shit, really? I didn't think it was be that much of a problem of a big hem. And I'll try my best with seeing how I can iron my hood without tearing it apart and resewing it. Thanks.
>>6774450
Do you have any advice on how to do that with a curved shape? I tried to do it with a straight stitch, and I guess it didn't turn out that well.

And also, on the topic of posing, any advice on more flattering poses? I'm pretty shit at anything other than the cutesy stick-my-boobs-and-ass-out.

>>6774452
That's fine. I just woke up from a nap, so maybe my judgement is skewed, but I really like how she looks. Maybe it's the composition of the photo? I don't know.

>>6774455
hehehahaha what is even going on here

>>6774455
Where the fuck does one even begin with this...

>>6774463
>>6774464
>>6774460

its a WIP lordy

heres her nepeta

>>6774470
Oversized horns, can barely see the wig, tail, from what you can even fucking see, looks bushy.

>>6774461
for posing, the best thing you can do it literally just stand in front of a mirror and determine what looks good for yourself. sounds silly, maybe, but it works.
be mindful of your posture and just practice, yo. it's something you get better at with time, trust me.

>>6774470
..are those plush horns?

>>6774455
oh god is that satin

>>6774470
>The bagginess of the fabric
>Is that satin
>Really
>I thought we discussed this, Homestuck fandom
>The bangs are way too long
>Yellows don't match

Hopefully it's a mockup.

>>6774474
Hey, so I'm a different anon who just cosplayed as John for the first time the other day, and when I was getting pictures taken I wasn't really sure how to pose or anything. At least with Dave, looking all cool and stoic is easy, but John's... not so stoic.

So I feel a little weird about the pictures of me that have been taken.

But, basically... going by this, and figuring out how the character would act, just start posing in front of a mirror and see what looks good?

>>6774483
I'm astounded there are people who don't pose in front of mirrors to see what angles work best for their wig and what positions are most flattering for their bodies.

>>6774461
Like above anon said, try some things out in front of the mirror to see what fits best with your costume, but a basic flattering post is to stand with your hips at a 3/4ths angle to the camera, turning your upper body slightly more toward it. Put one foot in front of the other, toes pointed away, and keep your weight on your back foot. Hands on your hips if you can't think of anything else.

>>6774470

post with advice about posing

>>6774488
Holy Christ why

>>6774487
Well... how does one know exactly? Just after doing a bunch of poses and angles and figuring out which one looks the best?

>>6774488
gamseee

>>6774489
It should be pretty obvious as you move from pose to pose which ones work and which ones do not.

>>6774489
everything i learned about posing was a combination of seeing my first cosplay pictures back in 2008-2009, recognizing that i needed work, posing in front of a mirror, and watching early seasons of america's next top model
doing dance or other heavily body-focused activities certainly helps too, but yeah
that's literally how it works, dude.

can i just say how glad i am that we're having a new kind of discussion about something with the posing thing

i don't have anything off the top of my head, but maybe pictures of particularly nice poses would be a good visual aid for the anons asking?

very strange specimens

From Anime Conji.
This darling is a good friend of mine and also my headcanon Jade, in both looks and in personality.

>>6774511
What's up with her wig and ears

>>6774511
What's up with her sleeves? Friends don't post friends on cgl, dude.

>>6774511
what's up with all those dark greys
what's up with that fucking file name eugh dude what

>>6774511
While I admit that she is cute, her cosplay on the other hand..

>>6774511
never post your friends on cgl if you're trying to be nice
and if you do never say that they're your friends
they'll just get torn to shreds

>>6774532
so i guess that first picture's goal was to hide
the rest of the costume huh
goddamn it it's like she didn't even try

>>6774532
And a shot that shows the socks and shoes.

Can I get some Bec Norire/Bec Blanche (PM) cosplays?

>>6774542

>>6773556
>shit-tier trigger discipline
Nah.

>>6774541
This is a bad cosplay.

I find it hard to believe that this girl's friend would post her here and gush to us. I'm gonna call vendetta. Someone wanted us to tear this apart.

>>6774544
Jade's fucking face.

>>6774523
>dat hood
>dat unhemmed fabric
do people really look at that and say "yeah this looks good"

>>6774511

>open pic
>jungle Asian
NOPE

>>6774597
Yaaaaay racism.

>>6774733
tumblr go home

>>6774772
Can we not go back and forth about race in a thread about cosplay

>>6774780
then don't

>>6774784
Different anon, just drop it

Homestuck is a fetish, not a fandom.

>>6774902
What the heck.

>>6774902
well its about time you realized it

its been months and I still cant get over how poor this group is

kanaya seriously
2 different shades of green? and not to mention fucking neon green

smh

>>6774976
From what I can see that Tavros, Nepeta and Sollux don't look too bad

>>6774902

>>6774985
Yeah, I have to admit... from what I can see, I kind of thought Sollux was kind of decent. Some closer shots would help, though.

>>6774976
The entire set of trolls as a whole isn't too bad, at least from a distance. I definitely agree about the Kanaya color thing, though.

>>6775018
what is happening with that aradia

>>6775022
Deer in the headlights...? I really like that tie-pin though.

>>6775032
what is so hard with putting on a little bit of eyeliner auugh. Aside from the horns it could've improved this so much

>>6775032
That file name says it all, and on top of that, her horns are... really weird, even for Aradia.

Is it also because she looks a bit chubby?

>>6775032
>bland expression
>terrible makeup application
>poorly crafted horns
I thought these suitstuck shots were gomugomugodhead's group, so why is the overall quality so...bad?

>>6775041
>>6775038
Oh and she needs to darken her eyebrows, too, gosh. A little bit of darker contouring on the sides of her cheeks could've slimmed down her face a little, but the eyeliner/eyebrow debacle is the main issue.

>>6775064
gomugomugodhead didn't put the group together, I think the Aradia was the one who had the original idea? Either that or she was the only one they could find. Sucks, because some of the others in the group are pretty good.

>>6773579
Me and my friends are going to Fanime! Will you be going to the gathering on Sunday? It actually looks like it's going to be very organized this year.

>>6775339

lordy

>>6775359
holy shit is that kakashi

>>6775359
The fuck is going on with that wig?

>>6775381
10/10 I am fucking dying because of that comment

>>6774976

wow what photographer decided that level of contrast was ok

>>6775956
That's what I've been asking myself for the past few months.

>egl rose

that's all for now, folks

>>6776004

dad wouldn't have a store bought cake

0/10 faggot are you even trying

>>6776009
oh my god i don't know if it's the pose or what but that latula looks like danny devito

So hows that hiatus going hamsteaks?

>>6775342
i don't want to say anything because i try not to discriminate cosplayers based on size
but

>>6776040
considering there's a seam running straight down the front of the aranea's dress, i wouldn't feel too bad

>>6776062
i know, but i always feel i have to try twice as hard to find mistakes on fat people's bad cosplay so people don't assume i hate their cosplay because they're fat

Wow someone's got a serious case of butthurt. Looks like the crazy bostonstuck 18+ mod is reporting pretty much any post about her and getting it deleted. Watch out, seagulls, guess we can't talk about her shitty cosplay by name anymore.

>>6776135
britfag here
what happened?

>>6776139
This will probably get deleted too but the Bostonstuck 18+ mod aka Macabrekawaii on tumblr aka a constant source of drama did some stupid shit the other day condemning some bostonstuck fundraising efforts for the bombings, and has been handling the fallout since in the worst possible way. Her dumbassery made it into the last thread before she complained and got it deleted (and apparently a bunch of ppl got temp bans). Now it looks like any mention of her by name is getting tossed too since there used to be more about her shitty signless cosplay upthread

>>6776152
i went to her tumblr
oh jesus christ my sides
thank you, based anon
thank you

>>6776152
is she the signless in OP?

Yep. Apparently it's "not genderbend" but she has since changed her mind and edited her posts after she figured out that dudes don't have boobs.

>>6776162
yes, and it's only a genderbend because she's a woman wearing it

tempted to get the social justicers on this bitch to rile everything up

>>6776171
'BUT DUDES CAN HAVE BEWBS TOO OMG DIE CISSDEXCIST SXCUM!'

Holy shit please do.

I can't wrap my brain around how unwilling she is to change her attitude. Girl has an ego and a victim complex that rivals pretty much anyone I've seen posted here. For no reasons really - her costumes are shit.

>>6776172
Actually there's no real reason for ANY of the trolls to have boobs considering they aren't mammals.
What is worldbuilding.

>>6776178
Wow I keep dropping my replies like a dumbass. Meant to respond to >>6776168

>>6776152
I'm confused - what basis does she have for reporting them and getting them deleted? Just massive butthurt or are we somehow breaking a rule?

>>6776179
but without boobs, how t5o fanservice?

>>6776179
I like the "vestigial venom gland" joke headcanon I've seen around.

>>6776179
speaking of troll bodies,
What are the two massive kool-aid stains on the side of troll torsos a lot of people keep drawing??
Don't have an example, to show. I don't save fan art to my computer.

>>6776189
Come on, the major part of people fawning over homestucks are girls, and besides it's not like the majority of those who cosplay have the boobs for it anyways.

>>6776194
Regardless of what they are, rumble sphere is a pretty nice name for it.
And someone was talking about since troll community is a matriarchy, the women would be the hunters.
And that perhaps boobs were simply some kind of defense whatever.

>>6776195
They somehow manage to transform from larvae to humanoid creatures, the "spots" are called grubscars and are supposed to be what remains of their grublegs.

>>6776195
i think they're meant to be the remains of the vestigial grub legs

>>6776196
yeah the idea of the women being the more dangerous seems fairly true- Vriska and Terezi alone are dangerous enough.

>>6776209
so many things about this make me mad

>>6776209
Is that...Voldemort's wand?

That Feferi hair around her horns,too.

>>6776209
The only directly dangerous men among the Alpha Trolls are Eridan. Gamzee is terrifying but he's harmless when he's high. And none of the other male trolls have the homicidal tendencies of Terezi or Vriska. Nepeta is obviously pretty fucking badass and Feferi is downright crazy at times.

>>6776152
Jesus Christ. Can we go one day without someone trying to drag us into tumblr bullshit? She's been posted about three days in a row and IT'S FUCKING BORING AS SHIT. POST SOME DOG-TIER JADE OR TEREZI SHOWING SOME SKIN, TALK SHIT ABOUT SOMEONE'S STITCHING AND STOP TRYING TO RECRUIT ME FOR YOUR FUCKING CRUSADE.

>>6776273
Your post doesn't even have an image attached but you're screaming at people to stop talking about drama and post more pics? Go find one yourself you lazy fuck.

>>6776178
ok she's claiming to be a professional drag performer

WHAT THE FUCK

>>6776273

or post drama about somebody else this shit is boring as fuck at this point

any heaven or urchintier or Florida or fucking anything drama that has to do with actual fucking cosplay

>>6776290
When I acquire a magical asshole that shits out drama from whatever BNF I choose, I'll let you know.

In the meantime why don't we continue the discussion from upthread about good poses for your character. Someone requested examples so here's one to start it off.

Specifically looking for Kurloz poses! I don't speak sign language other than finger spelling, I don't have a Meulin, I don't want to crib poses off Hanyaan because I think she's cribbing poses off JoJo's Bizarre Adventure for some unknown reason, and there aren't many other lone Kurloz cosplayers I've seen.

>>6776326

good idea anon

related to posing does anyone have suggestions for how to pose better with your face? I've gotten criticism for poor facial expressions and have been working on it but what feels emotive when I make faces shows up flat in pictures. Or just really unattractive and awkward.

>>6776370
I'm sorry but signs aren't that hard, there's really no way to do proper Kurloz poses without them since HE'S A MIME. If I was gonna cosplay him i'd make the effort of memorizing a few.

>>6776414
I didn't realize I was implying I wouldn't learn a few. Wow, I look stupid. Thanks for catching that.

I was looking for other ideas though, especially since most stock mime type poses seen to be comedy driven and that just feels wrong.

>>6776014
Love the poof on Jane's dress, gives it the best cupcake-y illusion.

>>6776371
Practice facial expressions in front of a mirror until you are confident you can be expressive without looking awkward. Never look directly into the camera, looking slightly below or above the lens usually works.

>>6776450
the art of mime is old as balls, and not all of it is comedy. Look up youtube videos and practice in front of the mirror. Kurloz barely changes his facial expressions so expressive body language and "sharp" poses are pretty important. ie know your body and know what it's doing, make sure your limbs aren't out of place or sloppy and don't slouch unless it's part of the emotion you're trying to convey.

Do this in front of the mirror and pick what looks best.

Love, anon who used to be a mime

/r/ing good wigs for Nepeta. Under $30 dollars please. I'm not finding any ones that look thick enough.

pic unrelated

>>6776011
looks good tho

How long do you think its going to be until homestuck cosplay is not going to be very popular/frowned upon(more than it is now) at cons?
I mean there is going to be a game right? so would it still be okay to cosplay from homestuck even though the comic is over?

>>6776567
Give it a year or two and we might be good to go.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=SqzIxcSbUAM

>>6776567
considering people are still cosplaying shows/anime that haven't been on air for years, i think it's safe to say yes. it'll be okay. it is, in essence, a way of keeping things alive.

Why the hell does this girl have 5000 notes.

>>6776370
Actually, Kurloz doesn't sign, he only fingerspells. I think you're good.

Hey, this is the horn anon from the last thread asking whether or not model magic could be cut. I just wanted to let you guys know that it can be cut and it actually cuts very easily! I used a long, sharp bread knife with slow, even strokes and it turned out fine, so if anybody else needs to make some horn adjustments after the model magic has set for around two weeks, you're good to go if you want to cut it.

I've been invited to some fancy Homestuck prom thing and already have a date for it, I plan on cosplaying Eridan but I'm not 100% sure in what.

Are there any kind of suits that look particularly nice on Eriday cosplayers? Well, with the wig and glasses and such.

>>6776370
Kurloz and Meulin don't use proper sign language anyway - the creator of the talk sprites explained that they just used a bunch of gestures to make it seem like they were using sign of some form. So really, you can do whatever you want that vaguely looks like signing.

>>6776645
Do something overly fancy, like aristocratic.
With ruffles and stuff.

>>6776290
urchintier dropped dolorosa, now she's trying to do mindfang

>>6776667
got a link to her new tumblr?

>>6776667
I want pics

>>6776667
oh good god.

>>6776686

I wonder if anyone has ever done a genuinely good cosplay at school, all the "people cosplaying in schools" photos have always been horrible.

thoughts?

>>6776699
The Meulin is alright but the Kankri, holy shit that wig makes them look like a plain old scene kid.

>>6776686
why does her symbol look like it's still wet? ew

Please don't tell me this is the version of Mindfang urchin tier is going to cosplay because if it is I'm going to vomit

>>6776645
Keep in mind he's an aristocratic brat so I'd avoid the typical slim-line casual suits. If you can be bothered to, going for a more high-fashion suit would work well (like the Prada ones modeled by Gary Oldman & crew) since they have a more aristocratic look to them. Waistcoat + cummerbund would be a nice touch too.
If you're going without the scarf, use a cravat rather than a neck-tie - it's just more sophisticated looking.

Let's not make her delete her account this time please I'd like to keep track of this trainwreck

i was thinking it was felt
i was hoping it wasn't

How does one exactly style a wig to resemble John's hair?

>>6776704
no she always cosplays "her own designs"

>>6776715

That's kind of too tacky from a prom don't you think

>>6776756
Eridan is tacky.
Coat is perfect.

>>6776756
Eridan canonically wears a cape.

Tacky is his middle name.

>>6776756
>eridan
>too tacky

The dude has a purple cape as a part of his everyday wardrobe.

>>6776740
the top and arms look decent but the whole thing is ruined for me because her horns sit on top of her hair. Don't people know how horns work? They grow out of the skull. How is it that no one fucking gets that.

>>6776715
this is spot on but would be really hard for a girl to pull off. no amount of spanx and boy pants is going to hide girl hips and waist in that

>>6776785

goddamn, I'd really like to use it, but I have horrible girl hips. I'm FtM but haven't actually had surgery or hormones yet so yeah
Maybe if I lose a shit ton of weight around my waist it wouldn't look too horrible

>>6776730
the felt is apparently for structure

>>6776789
if anything that'd give you a more exaggerated hourglass and you'd actually want to pad your waist. You wouldn't look as slim, but you wouldn't look as feminine.

>>6776801

Ahhh okay. Any other tips on looking less feminine? I could use them in general as well as for cosplaying Eridan.

Body language body language body language.

Focus more on chest shape than total flatness. Unless you're hyper skinny, super binding can occasionally look suspicious.

Shave face of peach fuzz.

Do not wear spandex or cosplay male characters with tank tops.

>>6776809
Holy shit did DuelinDan just show up in a Homestuck thread?!

>>6776830

Huh, never thought about the chest shape thing. Thanks.

>>6776793
yes because sea urchin tier actually knows how to sew a complex dress with interfacing and proper reinforcement.

for fuckssake she has no idea how to sew anything much less something complex. she'd probably do okay for the simple canon outfits but god her sewing is no where near up to par enough to do that dress, and craft felt ain't good structuring for a bodice.

>>6776722
why does everyone seem to think that boob shapes are achieved with a single circle of fabirc
tits don't work that way
drapery doesn't work that way
how difficult is it to give your patterns a little thought

>>6776899
Nice outfit but it looks like someones bashed her knees in with a hammer.

>>6776884

I want to like this but it's just so shapeless

>>6776949
or how ladies used to put blush on their knees to make it look like they'd been giving blowjobs
only instead of just slightly pink marks she'd been on her knees for so long that they're fucking bleeding everywhere

>unironed skirt layers

Aughhhh pic unrelated

>>6776686
I'm 98% sure that's urchintier as the Kanaya.

>>6777019
It is, I pulled it from her blog

>>6777020

OH MY gOD SHE'S SPECTACULAR

>>6776560
Try match wigs, they have decent wigs under 30$ and it's where I got my Nepeta wig from.

>>6776953
is that the actual purpose of the famous rouge on the knees or are you just making up shit

>>6777020
Ah. I thought it was your photo you took, my bad.

>>6777030
Nah, dude. Anon is making shit up. It was just to draw attention to their knees because of their short dresses.

>>6776824
>>6777029
thanks!

>>6776899
i actually like the knee detail i think its cute. Maybe she just should of made it more faded like it is on the outside of the red blob.

>>6776789
ooooh transtrending in /cgl/

>>6777136
I'm not "transtrending", I've genuinely felt this way since I was five years old, I'm eighteen now and I've been open about it since I was ten, just my family forced me to not pursue surgery until I was over eighteen/an adult.

>>6777140
alright but you can understand why I'd be wary. In a homestuck thread

>>6777149
Oh, indeed yes, the Homestuck fandom is rife with those sorts of people. I've never seen many of them on 4chan though, they usually just haul themselves in Tumblr and DeviantArt ahah.

>>6776977
That's a fantastic Karkat, but the Nepeta looks like she hardly tried. A giant wrinkled shirt is not the same as a jacket.

>>6777180
requesting good nepetas?

>>6777158
it just makes me sad and upset that these special snowflake teenagers make a mockery out of people who are actually transexual. It's one of the only things that makes me feel actually ill.

It's even more infuriating that they're usually homestucks too. Oh well, the SJWers will move onto dangan ronpa where they can fuck up that game and leave us alone.

>>6777193

>>6777194
>move onto dangan ronpa
pls no

>>6777198
you know that's the truth, it has already begun. I'd actually bet money on it.

>>6777194
Yeah, it's incredibly insulting that people consider it cool to be trans*. It's something which destroys peoples lives and families and those with it often suffer their whole lives because of it. Along side all the abuse trans* people get in the real world as well... I dunno, I would wish being transgender on any other person so yeah.

And, yeah I've notices a shit ton of Homestucks have moved on to Dangan Ronpa, and it's usually the uh, very loud Homestuck fans who have, which I suppose is nice.

>>6777207
WOULDN'T* wish
oops

don't go in the nepeta cosplay tag

>>6777218
any more pictures of this nepeta? not sure about her hat but that wig is actually really good from what i can see.

>>6777231
The number one thing on my bad nepeta cosplay checklist is "weird fucked up attempt and making cat lips with black eyeliner".

>>6776746
Still wondering about this, please.

>>6776775
I'm pretty curious as to why you all rip apart people for having their horns sit on top of their wig but DM's do the exact same and you all kiss her ass

>>6777246

perks of being a bnf I guess.

>>6777245
dude youve posted about this in the last like three threads just pull up some reference pictures and go at it with hairspray

>>6776775
i feel like an idiot but i never actually realized that was a problem
so could someone please explain to me how to make horns look like they're coming out of your skull as opposed to sitting on top of your head? because i'd like to cosplay a troll without looking too shitty i guess

>>6777246
Probably because /cgl/ isn't a hivemind and different people like different things.

>>6777246
honestly megido horns are hard to make look like they're actually coming out of your head. DM's (and that other aradiabot's for that matter) horns are better than a lot I've seen still

>>6777252
This place ISN'T a hive mind?

John / Jake glasses, lenses or no lenses?

>>6777274
Lenses. Always go with Lenses.

Would the same pair of glasses work for both John AND Jake? Technically their glasses aren't exactly the same, but would anybody really care?

>>6777030
>>6777080
yeah, it's just an awesome myth
a quick google search shows that it's bullshit, sorry for spreading misinformation, anon, but it's fun as hell

>>6777274
lenses. I can always tell when people's glasses don't have lenses and it's weird

>>6777180
that seems to be the general view of thevvioletprince recently. it's a wonder her nepeta is so popular, honestly

>>6777287
Okay, good. Just got a decent pair of glasses in the mail yesterday, looks pretty rectangular and should work very nicely for John and Jake. The lenses are clear and not magnified so I can see just fine.

Requesting good Ampora cosplayers.

>>6777315

Hungarian Homestucks.

>>6777194
i think i've only ever met one other transsexual homestuck, i've seen a few trenders in the hetalia fandom weirdly enough

but jesus christ don't wish those retards on any fandom

>>6777364
Really? Huh, I know a shit ton of genuinely transgender people in the Homestuck community. Mostly from going to meets and stuff.

>>6777368

>>6777370
that jude is pretty hot

>>6777368
>>6777370
So much wrong with both of these... going to point out the Nepeta on the right in the first picture, then everything in the second picture.

>>6777372
They can't be older than 14 anon

>>6777372
He looks like a scene kid...

>>6777366
probaby because it's easier to be trans in the cosplay community?
I'm saying cosplay in general since I know less than 10 homestucks in my area
being a britfag fucking blows

>>6774250
I saw a Wayward vagabond at my last con, but it was kind of shit so i did not take a picture

>>6777381
Woah, man I'm a Britfag as well, but I know a ton of Homestucks within an hours train journey, and a good few in the city I live in.

But yeah it's way easier to be open about being trans if you cosplay or even if you're just in the HS community. The HS community is very very very open and accepting for better or for worse.

>>6777390
HS community...
Accepting...?

>>6777382
which con? i saw a pm and a wv together at wondercon, is that them?

>>6777344
more fiftiestuck please? it is usually cute.

>>6777395
A+G
The same these were from
>>6777370
>>6777368
Though i did not post these, i just see myself in the background of the one

Is there a color preference for the frames of Jane's glasses? I've seen some people get red or blue, so I was wondering what people preferred?

>>6777400
A+G?

>>6777402
I just got black ones for mine. I personally don't understand why so many people get red ones for her, but I think blue and white ones are cute if you want something that isn't black

>>6777390
I don't have the money to go to too many meets
I did go to one on 4/13, but save for my friend they were all teen girls on the borders of weeaboo
safe to say i did the gentlemanly thing and fled as soon as I could, leaving her in the land of glorious nippon hamsteaku desu ne

>>6777391
this
hence I'm stealth, on the internet and outside

>>6777407
Animation and gaming
I figured i'd go because it was only 15 dollar and my friend had room in his hotel room. there were some really good cosplays but mainly from Final Fantasy. but all the homestuck cosplays were shit except maybe that equius.
It is in ohio at the beginning of April

>>6777414
Oh, the Manchester one or the London one? I heard the Manchester one was shitty (I was at the London one) ahah
Homestuck meets do tend to get like that if they're big meets- smaller meets tend to be great.

>>6777398

>>6777434
I really want to like this. But her symbol looks a bit small, and I have no idea what's going on with her shirt or wig.

>>6777442
I don't think the wig is too bad, but yeah, scoop neck shirts on Kanaya generally look pretty odd.

>>6777434
Aww she's cute. Like the wig. Wish her horns were gradient but I'm not complaining

>>6777421
it was the birmingham one, there were only about 18 people including myself

>>6777451
Oh jeez, that is small. Had no idea there was one in Birmingham. London one had about 50~60 people but dropped a lot when it started to rain. Heard the Manchester one had about 80-100 people there at one point.

>>6777457
hory shit, i knew i should've gone to the manchester one, probably would have had less shitty people

>>6777461
Eh, I wasn't there but I heard it was mostly screaming teenage girls, but a lot left after awhile and everything mellowed out a little. Dunno for sure but yeah.

>>6777398

lets talk about people who have magic wigs
found this cutie in the homestuck tag next to some shitty art

>>6777511
...selfpost? that wig looks like something exploded, overly canon-styled wigs just look strange in my opinion.

>>6777511
I'm going to have to agree with the other anon, overly canon-styled wigs always look weird

>>6777511
dem eyes

>>6773508
we can talk about her

>>6777532
Those breasts.

>>6777515
>>6777519
I've seen her in real life, it looks pretty awkward in this photo but it looks really well done in person. I feel like a lot of wig styles can be fickle like that though.

>>6777532
i've seen her in real life. she's not as bad as people make her out to be, plus her boyfriend is super hot.

>>6777532
i really liked her old feferi a lot better :\

>>6777532

is her tiara....just...cut out so it only fits her forehead?


what?

>>6777547
comparing that to her old fef....

>>6777547
didnt she spend like 90 dollars on that weave?

>>6777511
>that wig
>those glasses
>those contacts
please no

>>6777547
>>6777555
just cause she spent 90 dollars on it doesn't mean it doesn't look like shit
i just can't look at her new wig and see anything but disco hair
and at least her old tiara looked like it went into her hair, even if it was too big

>>6777561
meant to reply to
>>6777553

>>6777532
her old tiara was better, even though it was bigger and holy shit that wig is horrible

but I feel like she's been discussed in like the past two or three threads already

>>6777551
Yeah, I actually made the tiara longer and thinner than my old one. Sadly I received my wig the day before we left that night, so I packed it and dealt with it that day of the convention. To my dismay the wig didnt stick right as pictured and I had to hack off half of my tiara to fit correctly.

>>6777545
is it me or is it really sad that people just automatically associate her with her boyfriend?
>takisiski
>oh don't forget about her banging boyfriend

>>6777570
well she wouldnt be shit without her hot boyfriend so

>>6777571
I would like to see pictures.
Why is her boyfriend so popular?
Is he a BNF?

>>6777572
he was posted earlier too

>>6777581
didnt she like steal him away from another cosplayer? tsk tsk takisiski....

>>6777572
he's just hot, not sure if he's bnf status though
pic related

>>6777553
>using glasses instead of goggles
>dem dollarstore necklaces
but I definitley like this wig better than her new one. Her whole cosplay is off though.

>>6777587
don't like the necklaces, but goggles look fucking retarded and fog up like shit, imo
to each their own, i guess

>>6777572
this is him

>>6777587
why do people complain about not using goggles
they look fucking stupid
are you the same anon who complains every time a fef doesn't use goggles

>>6777583
deets anon deets

>>6777587
I don't get why people get so mad when feferis don't use googles. goggles look stupid 99% of the time and fog up and don't give the right look anyway

>>6777606
its not like they have to wear the goggles

>>6777608
wearing goggles on your head all day is 1) uncomfortable as hell and 2) shitty looking

>>6777612
her glasses look nice its just her wig that looks like a dog

One example of why goggles look stupid.

>>6777598
Different anon; I don't like glasses either. My brother uses goggles for a cosplay outside of Homestuck and they don't fog up? They're cheap ones, too. Goggles look better for Fefs imo.

>>6777608
but feferi wears the goggles on her face most of the time so why would a cosplayer not? not to mention that sounds uncomfortable

>>6777618
Holy Christ, that looks awful.

>>6777618
>dat sleeve hem
I never understand why people don't take the extra time to roll/ zigzag/ serge/ using pinking shears on the hem

Don't people realize once they put that through the wash it'll start to fray if you have no protection on it?

>>6777617
i was talking about goggles?
i agree with that though

sage?

>>6777634
ye I'll whip up a new thread just a sec

New bread
>>6777648
>>6777648

Goggles look so much better though, what. I've worn mine to several cons with my Feferi cosplay and they didn't fog up, either. They're canon, and as long as they don't fog, they look good, so.. Putting them on your head looks good too though, imo. My goggles are for larger heads too so they aren't tight and uncomfortable.

>>6777650
post a pic and let us be judge. I've never seen any that worked

>>6777651
Haha, I'm not going to post myself here just so a bunch of anons can tear it apart just because they don't like goggles, even though Feferi has them. I am proud of my costume, however, I just need to resd my skirt because I made it a while ago when I had no XP.
