/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

...oh fuck delete this

You delete it, OP.
Bottom right corner.

Should we just make this the new thread, since the old one is autosaging?

>>6810897
sure, why not. i'll link the old thread.

>>6810897
Maybe remake it and name it properly with a better top image

>>6810686


>>6803459
Old thread.

>>6810916
seconded.

>>6810916
it really doesn't matter if the top image is good. carry on.

>>6810916
>>6810920
It's hilarious how much HSG doesn't get /cgl/ or any board on 4chan. The thread's here now starting a new one is retarded.

>>6810924
Advantage to a new thread is having the word homestuck in the title for cataloging/search but whatever.

>>6810924
Yeah but this thread doesn't even have a title...

>>6810897
Would you consider this a good John? The shirt seems a bit... faded? Like, I feel like the symbol needs to be less white and more cyan / light blue.

Just saw this gem on the homestuck cosplay tag. The Dave looks so uncomfortable. Best part is the blog that posted it is called "Bondagestuck", and apparently this is actually a thing?

>>6810947
Is that damaramegido?

>>6810948
No

>>6810944
Christ, everything here is wrong. Those glasses, nubby horns, piercings, that wig, shirt...

>>6810948

you wish, anon.

Wow the tag is in top form tonight

New Potterstuck set from Vantasss/Cowbuttcrunchies

>>6810956

>>6810956
>>6810958
I keep waiting for these sets to get old, but they never do.

>>6810960
They're kind of getting old to me.
I feel like that's all they seem to cosplay lately.

>>6810966
There was some cute 50stuck stuff they did recently. Pic related.

>>6810966

what the fuck

>>6810966
they're bostonstuck so they are probably working on new costumes for anime boston, also I saw this on cowbutt crunchie's tumblr. but I don't know who is doing who.

>>6810990
those are hideous looking

>>6810966
They did a good genderbend group recently. It was posted a few threads back

>>6810990

Absolutely hideous.

>>6810991
>>6810993
that may be the point, considering cowbutt called it "Balls Out Fancy IDGAF-stuck"

>>6810998

I find it hard to believe that anyone would want to spend shittons of time, effort, and money on something deliberately hideous. This is less 'idgaf' and more 'extremely bad taste'. They need to go back to the drawing board, because that hot mess up there >>6810990 is like the ugly love child of Mookie and Synnesai.

>>6810998
But why would they waste time, money, and energy on such an ugly design

Surely there are some nicer fancy designs they could have come up with

>>6810956
I...I can't stop staring at this Sollux....

>>6811017
Why, what's wrong with them?

>>6811026
i think anon means they really like them and cant look away

>>6811000
It's ugly in the drawing, but I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled it off? I feel like they pulled off their Ancestors designs better than the original drawing; pic related.

>>6811047
oh what the fuck

>>6811026
>>6811034
Yes, sorry, I meant they're very attractive.

>>6811053
What's the source on this Handmaid?

>>6811053
Well it turned into this in the end. The designs look like more of a starting point.

>>6811071
Sorry anon, I don't know. All four of my source trackers gave me jack.
I know I saved this from an old HS thread sometime last year.

>>6810990
>>6811000
>>6811047
so much discussion over costumes that haven't even been made yet. how about we wait and see before we waste a whole thread arguing over it?

>>6811082

you must be new here.

a costume does not have to be 3D for a consensus of 'that's hideous' to be reached. see: literally every uncosplayed mookie design.

>>6810990
i can't tell apart the two people in cowbuttcrunchies, but i am going to guess they are doing feferi and sollux, and vantasss is eridan.

>>6811086
That reminds me. I think MF is going to cosplay that ugly militarystuck design Mookie drew recently

>>6811086
See also: Most fancy shit.

>>6811071
>>6811078
I think that's Yukapants actually. Pretty positive she's dropped out of the Homestuck fandom now, which is a shame because she was one of my favorite Rose cosplayers.

>>6811093
oh, great.

>>6811092
Hhhhammy has a rounder face. Pic related: she's Mituna, Gothichamlet is Kankri.

>>6811086
>a costume does not have to be 3D for cgl to bitch about it incessantly

Fixed that for you

>>6811169
Was it not fine as
>A costume does not to be 3D for a consensus of "that's hedeous" to be reached
?

>>6811188
Wig looks more like it's suited for Jake than John.

>Ok here’s the texture I’ve got going so far.
>Looking for feedback of any kind.
>(Nepeta horns by the way uvu)

>>6811193
did you buy the base from bad dragon?

>>6811184
whats wrong with her eyes... they seem placed weird

>>6811193
that looks like a misshapen wedding cake or a volcano

>>6811198
right her face/wig bother me
she has bulimia cheeks though so i don't want to make fun of her too much

>>6811202
bulimia cheeks?

>>6811204
when part of their jaw swells up from the acid sinking in.

>>6811200
I was thinking that it looked like a mountain of volcano of some sort, good to see that I'm not alone in thinking this.

>>6811202
im not sure what bulimia cheeks look like but it just seemed like her right eye (her right) is trying to fly out of its socket

>>6811193
Not mine, just surfing the tag- I had to share the misshapen mozarella volcano.

>>6811219
that... was pretty clear already?

>>6810990
I think the Feferi design is kind of cute, if you take away the excessive jewelry that's everywhere for some reason... but the dress itself is cute. Minus the beige middly stuff, how does that blend at all

i kind of like this cosplayer.

>>6811265
I smell a selfpost

>>6811265
>unpainted body
>those shoes
>girlish shirt neckline

And you like them why, exactly?

>>6811278
their face/horns/makeup, it looks like they were at a meetup, full makeup would be a little more socially awkward than that.
>>6811276
don't even know the dude man

>>6811265
>>6811265
hey, can we not be posting year old pictures of my girlfriend that look like shit? if you 'kind of like' her cosplays, at least do her justice instead of posting something from an afternoon meet up she put zero effort into a year ago.

She does not need to wake up to seeing you drag that up from the depths of my tumblr's shit posts.

>>6811265
>shitty horns
>girlish shirt
>shoes

>>6810958
source on this sollux?

>>6810956
>>6810958
completely off topic but god i hate it when people do ravenclaw with silver/blue just cause the movies screwed the colors over

>>6810966
Why in the world would anyone do that at school...

>>6811555
more importantly how did they get away with it

even more important how didnt they get beat up for it

>>6811560

About 5 girls at my college do this on a weekly basis. They're fucking weird and get told to fuck off by various people that they hassle while in costume.

People really dislike what they do. The vast majority of the school wears normal clothes (polo, jeans, that sort of thing) daily and this Special Snowflake bullshit is definitely something people talk about behind their backs.

>>6811630
didyoueventry.jpg

>>6811176
I think anon means there's no point clogging up a thread about something hasn't been made yet. The art is shit but I remember HSG bitching about Cowbuttcrunchies's Porrim progress too and how did that turn out?

Oh right.

>>6811265
Haa honestly I doubt you know how old this is and you would have had to go a long way back to find this.

and no anon this is not a self post I absolutely hate this cosplay of mine and it was my first when it came to homestuck. I know it's shitty but trust me when I say I've improved.

>>6811696
no please
no manchesterstuck please

>>6811392

Because blue and brown look like shit together

>>6811053
>>6811096
Yes that's yukapants.
She's selling all her homestuck stuff so I'm pretty sure she's dropped out.

Did the comic ever say anything about Feferi having goggles?

>>6811718
w....what

>>6811193
Reminds me of the eggs form the alien movies, my advice is you shouldn't layer it like that, make it the way nepeta a horns are in the comic and then texture it, don't do that odd spiked thick layering system it looks like daemon spawn horns.

>>6811176
'hedeus', yes, that's exactly what I meant.

I only come here to be entertained by the continuous screaming about costumes better than anything anyone here can construct, anyway.

Let the cowbuttcrunchies thread continue.

>>6811220
It should be, but there are at least two replies in this thread giving advice like it was a self post.

I want to cosplay calliope but there's no way I'm going to be able to sew a suit, so I'm planning on buying a white blazer and pants and dyeing them. I'm looking on taobao and I can't really find anything that's the right cut. Help? these two seem to be the closest.

http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.291.diIOiC&id=16771731364

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.159.diIOiC&id=23522592925

Before I go any further, is there a better way I can do this?

>>6811930
I'd personally spare myself the risk of a dye-catastrophe by ordering a green blazer instead. If you know what you're doing, purchase the first item and go for it.

>>6811944
Kind of creepy looking.

>>6811944
jesus christ did they do that in mspaint?

>>6810956
hnnngh that Sollux DAMN
>dem cheekbones

>>6812054
eyeliner is your friend. horns aren't supposed to float on top of your hair. why would you fucking fingerpaint your symbol

>>6812056
that Aradia has a cute face. her horns look poopy tho

>>6812059
fucking hell just die already. I hate nothing more than stupid "sexy" pics of crappy striders. when will they stop

>>6812072
That is the ugliest effing Eridan wig I've ever seen.

>>6811819
Yeah. It's been said a few times. I'd quote, but I'm on a phone.

>>6811184
this wig bothers me so much for some reason i can't.....

>>6811819
I'm on my phone too, but here's a screenshot of the first time it was made aware that the Peixes wear goggles.

>>6812056
I can't stop laughing holy shit

>>6811951
The problem is, I can't find a blazer in the proper color. Maybe I just need to look harder? Thanks!

>>6812082
4 for you anon, you go anon!

>>6812056
aradia has a GREAT face but john desperately needs foundation

>>6812180
And none for shitwig!Eridan bye

>>6812192
why is johns face like. smudged with grey.

>>6812209
he's so gray I thought it was supposed to be tavros and he just forgot to take of his glasses

>>6812213
from the thumbnail thats exactly what i thought too i was really confused when i enlarged the image

>>6812072
this is fantastic

>>6811142

That Cronus' expression is hilarious, I'm not sure what it is about it but it just makes me crack up everytime I see it.

>>6811142
Source on the Aranea and Latula? They're pretty cute, I have to admit.

>>6812105
Oh awesome! Does anyone have any links to some good goggles for fef? I searched everywhere i could think of but nothing looks good.

>>6812306
Latula: Vantasss. Aranea: Snowchildhero.

>>6811184
she looks to old to be cosplaying roxy

>>6812072
All I can think of is this

>>6812051
ah yes my headcanon jake wears a shit ton of eyeliner

>>6812402
I can't stop laughing because that eyeliner makes her look like Gaga and Jake is like the scruffiest manliest guy in the comic

>>6811290
Needs to be poofier. But it's pretty cute otherwise

>>6812366
What the fuck, how does JJ look SO different in every cosplay she does? I never realize its her.

>>6812522

A generically pretty face and excellent makeup skills

I finally unfollowed solluxcaptor

every goddamn minute it was
"WOW I look so ugly?????? but whatever Im uploading this anyway but omg I look os bad my hair is all messy???? :("

"I think this cosplay looks so bad on me" *uploads 7 pictures of it in a photoset* wow guys its so bad :* should I delete these?????"

FUCK what is even with that mentality. SO many idiots on tumblr have it

>>6812533
Because people are not allowed to be insecure, ever.

>>6812522
What? I always know when it's her, but maybe that's just me. She has a distinctive face imo. Then again I'm also in Bostonstuck so I see her from time to time at meet ups.

>>6812534
this would be more valid if they weren't uploading 6 nearly-identical pics immediately after saying that stuff

>>6812533

So that their tumblr fans can rush in with ass pats and assurances that they're omg perfectttt.

Half their photos are boring straight on shots anyway.

>>6812522
I have this problem with a lot of the BNFs actually. Something about the grey makeup maybe.

what even is this con
and from the other pics ive seen there's only a tiny handful of decent cosplayers

>>6812550
>Seriously cannot tell if that ballgown Lalonde on the left is Roxy or Rose
>Blue fabric so Roxy maybe?
>Oh wait that's "derse purple"

>>6812550
80% of the cosplayers are either fat or chubby
I want to say this is in the midwest somewhere
>>6812552
I'm pretty sure it's Roxy
It's mostly Alpha kids minus that Dave

>>6811642
Personally, I always liked the dress (though it is more OTT than in canon), but didn't find the photos enjoyable. They're all so drab and boring, especially for such a strong character, which doesn't go greatly with the off-black of the dress.

>>6811930
The best way would be to make the jacket and trousers, If you're going to buy one, make sure it's long sleeved and the same material as the pants you're planning to get, otherwise they won't dye the same colour.

>>6812536

Are you going to any of the homestuck events at Anime Boston? Not one looks well run or free of nasty bnfs.

so i made a new helmet for my mituna cosplay, im a lot happier with how this looks than what i had before haha
the base is from a kids helmet though so its to small for me so it looks kind of weird but i like that i can open and close the visor thing
anyway though?

>>6812582

>base is a kids helmet

Why the fuck

>>6812577
Nasty BNFs? Deets please!

The "unofficial panel" looks like a fucking joke. They were trying to keep it a secret I guess until Anime Boston found out and now they're calling it a meet and greet.

>>6812582
I would really build on the back if you can to make it more proportional to your head. It looks a little bizarre right now.

>>6812582
make something that actually fits you for once good god

>>6812582

It makes you look like you have a long head and a very tiny brain.

>>6812550
fuck is that rissa

>>6812616
shit is it??

>>6812533
Examples of her doing this? I don't see it in her cosplay tag. All her comments sound confident to me, e.g. "I thought it was cute", "i actually sorta like this photo", "I really love being helmetless Mituna aaa I love this wig", "i really really liked my outfit"

>>6812621
She usually deletes them after theyre posted. But she made a read more a few minutes ago on it.
IT seems to me that she just has major self image issues, honestly.

>>6812582
good god please make something that actually fits you. that looks like you have such an awkwardly shaped head and
>horns on helmet

>>6812582
i like the color and visor and the horns BUT the helmet being that small is 100% wrong. One of the hallmarks of Mituna's design and silhouette is the oversized helmet. The helmet too small looks really ridiculous.

>>6812577
Barstuck is being run by the same people who did Katsucon's so I'm excited.

>>6812619
front left roxy i think
some really stupid bullshit is going on on her blog again wow

>>6812594
found it at goodwill, figured i could try and see how itwent since i like the idea of the visor moving up and down

>>6812602
im going to try and open it up and see if i can make it bigger if not might hit up goodwill again and see if i can find another helmet

>>6812632
it is
she even refers to herself as cleavage showing roxy

>>6812634
For the love of god stop making excuses and admit bad judgment and shit prop making.

>>6812634
oh my god can you stop with the excuses

>>6812634
Do you have the ability to type with normal grammar? You sound like you came straight off tumblr.

>>6812632
god what a fucking cow im so disappointed that our hs/b/ anon didnt delete her blog

>>6812059
Source?

>>6812630
I'm quite excited for the bar meet! I'll probably be there as a Lalonde (not sure which one yet though whoops).

>>6812697
Rel why the fuck would you want the source on that

>>6811193
looks like a deformed nipple

>>6811667
>>6811282
nobody cares.

>>6812710
>Nobody cares
>Must state that nobody cares

>>6812638
Why do you try to get him to hate his shit so much? It's annoying, and I don't even know the guy, jesus christ. It's not really 'excuses' if he takes your advice and keeps optimistic.
>inb4 snide remark about how the rules of cgl are to force people into disliking their work/self and then getting mad at them for it
>inb4 whiteknighting because i am genuinley curious why you're such a cunt

>>6812795
everytime we give him any sort of criticism or things to improve upon he makes an excuse that "oh ____ is why ____ was like that" or whatnot and i'm not the only one who sees this, i guess.

>>6812795
>>6812809

norge is not a he.

>>6812795
I'm genuinely curious why you're whiteknighting.

>>6812819
I know this is a random "whiteknight," but I agree with >>6812795
At least the guy/girl tried and isn't being rude when you anons criticize their work so harshly. Also I actually didn't see many excuses from that person, they even said they might get another helmet and try again.
Also, if he/she was saying "My work sucks. Weh" Wouldn't you get mad at them for that too? It's like that person can't do anything to make you happy.

Any thoughts on the Fanime 2013 Gamzee's Cafe Panel, now that the cast list has been updated?

(unrelaed pic)

>>6812847
Whiteknight harder, and also look harder, if you really can't see their excuses, utter laziness and poor craft work.

>>6812884
But what is with those oversized clothes, incorrect hood, random yellow belt and the design near the bottom of those pants and the design on the hood

>>6812885
They tried. Post your work on here if it's so much better anon. After all, you are an expert craftsmaker and world renowned cosplayer. This should be easy for you.

Think this actually work's HSG?
http://m17un45f1n3455.tumblr.com/post/48755691446/i-figured-out-a-way-to-attach-horns-to-my-wig-no
Or should we prepare for floppy horns at your next convention?

>>6812894
Why did you have to link to a shitty cosplayer though

>>6812884

g...gamzee's cafe? do i even want to know?

>>6812894
Wow awesome!
That looks great and it can't hurt to try.

>>6812896
You don't have to be an "expert craftsmaker and world renowned cosplayer" to know when another's is shit and their attitude towards it is even shittier.

>>6812899
Because that's the post with the method and explanation of the method?

>>6812894
you can still see the wires wrapped around the bottom and that really bugs me.
the screw anchor method is without a doubt the best and i don't understand why people are seemingly so reluctant to utilize it.

>>6812905
Okay so you can't do better than them. Don't judge if you can't even make things yourself. And who cares if it's not the most amazing helmet ever? They probably had fun and that's what counts.

>>6812706
Oh shit nevermind pardon me I'd like to retract my request for a source- I got really excited because I thought that it was Bro/Grandpa, and I sort of have a really giant soft spot for Grandpa Harley (and by extension, Grandpa Harley cosplayers).

It's not though upon closer inspection it seems that this image is supposed to be Bro/Dad, which... I am a fair bit less interested in.

On that note actually can I request some Grandpas?

>>6812912
You don't need to be good at anything to know whether or not something else is good or not. For example, you don't need to be a good chef to know if a steak tastes bad or not.

>>6812912
>probably had fun
>that's what counts
Ugh

Curious on what people think of older cosplayers who cosplay as older characters like the Guardians. And /r/ that, I guess, so I'm also looking for some cool Grandpas.

>>6812912
please lurk more, dear.

>>6812919
So tell the chef what to do better and they'll know for next time.

>>6812917
Those are a pair of shitty 3D movie glasses with the lenses coloured (and you can clearly see the streaks) and the frame is... also coloured? But still, the fact that it's a pair of 3D movie glasses just discredits the whole cosplay.

>>6812925
Doesn't change the fact that they were a shitty enough chef to make a steak that bad to begin with.

Besides, going with that analogy, what would you even say anyway if you're not a chef yourself...

>>6812901
It's the same HS panel that was on Friday last year, with Crownkind/Chain and a few others making their return, but they have a new Jane and Roxy, I believe.

>>6812929
>going with that analogy, what would you even say anyway if you're not a chef yourself
Exactly, if don't make cosplay accessories don't judge his/hers.
Also, you'll definitely make a counter argument somehow and I know it's useless to try and keep defending people who make things but aren't expert at it from people who want to kick them down like some anons here so I'm leaving this argument.
See you around anon!

>>6812051
Why do some people use winged eyeliner for crossdressing? It looks SO BAD

>>6812948
Oh snap.

>>6812577
>>6812602
Seconding the request for Anime Boston drama. What events are happening? Isn't Anime Boston an anime-only con?

>>6812948
Wow, you're an idiot.

>>6812809
>>6812818

woooah went back to sewing and came back to this, anyway i know the helmet is not really good
im not planning on doing Mituna any time soon so just trying around to see if i can gt the helmet right
also im a girl lol

Oh Jesus.

Just sharing some of my otp.

Also that blog has some neat art.

I feel like she would do so much better if she didn't wear..crocs..

>>6812640
...Norge isn't from the United States originally, you realize?

>>6813030
Nothing quite says "pay attention to me" like 18 inches of fabric between your tits and crotch. I thought MF wasn't even into Homestuck anymore.

>>6813063
More and more fucking excuses.

>>6813063
that isnt really an excuse i have been here a while, i suck at writing tho thats for sure

>>6813072
oh wow, i actually really like this grimdark interpretation of roxy

>>6813072
No one with any sane thought in their head is saying you need to be good at writing.

This is the stupidest discussion HSG has had in a long time. Who gives one single flying fuck. Start contributing and stop bickering.

Why don't you ask Tatum and Takisiski? They seem the most addicted to it. It's just horrible.

>>6812975
Can we talk about this Gamzee? People seem to like her but I don't get why?? Her outfits are well made and make up is clean, but, why is it so dark and rounded?

All been shoooooooooooped
and has over a thousand notes.

>>6813242
seriously?

>>6813242
the recoloring isn't even done well.

>>6813055
"U WOT M8 ILL CUT U M8 I SWER"

>>6813242

it's not even a cosplayer that's a fashion ad

>>6813323
that doesn't make the quality of the shoop any less shitty.

>>6812885

I think the helmet's too small fwiw, but you know, sometimes people can just think other anons are being cunts without ~whiteknighting~

It's because, shockingly enough, nearly everyone on here is a cunt.

>>6813030
Aside from the obvious attention whoring, those wigs look terrible.

>>6813406
i don't think lovejokers is that bad, but MF is too lazy to even cut the bangs or give her wig the roxy curl. i did prefer lovejokers former wig styling, it seems more natural than the big spike their wig has now. pic related.

>>6813030
MF also put this picture up..

Can she please stop slutting up Roxy? Can she please take the actual character's personality into account for a change?

>tfw you want to stir up drama for no reason

I should stop reading these threads.

they don't really seem like 3d glasses to me; 3d glasses usually come in black, and you can't really color over that.

>>6813573
I recognize the shape. They must have painted over it with green paint.

COSPLAY HELP!
I don't know how to make a easy, low maintenance, and nice looking robot leg for my Caliborn cosplay (picrelated)

>>6813433
i can see her bra filling and yay more of that inaccurate sarashi

>>6813396
why the filename?

>>6814011
i'm guessing because they're out in public acting like idiots in crappy cosplays making us all look bad.

>>6813834

Agree, find some decent weight metallic stretch and make a bootcover. You can sew a darker fabric over it for the detailing/cut outs as long as it's all stretch

>>6814016
they went to the store to get some food at a convention, and they did not act like idiots. stop judging based on a single picture.

>>6814063

Blatant self post alert.

>>6814089
oh wow, no, I don't know them personally but I was at that con. They're kinda elitists, but they don't act like idiots

>>6814063
>>6814097
it's still a grown up sitting in the fucking shopping cart. to me that's immature and stupid as hell and gives more ammo to people already calling hs fans immature and stupid.

>>6814009
>>6813424
no, its supposed to be blood.

>>6814116
I sit in the cart when me and friends go shopping, one riding the cart like a scooter, and no one gives a fuck. My other cheerleaders friends constantly do cartwheels/stunts in empty aisles, too, so no sense in being an angry uptight shit at them when no one else is. If we were asked to stop, we would've, and we cause no mess or damage or noise in the store.

Its okay to relax and have fun with friends even when you're an adult in a comic book /Costume Play/, hon.

I must ask... Armsocks and going to the bathroom... How does it work really ?? Asking because I'm gonna do Dualscar this summer and I'm going to make some armsocks but I'm panicking over this thought.

>>6814489
That just means you and your friends are immature, though? Just because no one says it to your face, chances are, they still think you're being immature, hon.

>>6814489
i work at a grocery store. we've had idiots like you break the carts with their fat asses, make a mess out of shelves and displays and disturbed other customers.
it's a fucking store not an adult baby playground.

>>6814514

Work in what way? Just sit down to pee?

>>6814545
If they're a guy they need to hold their dick to aim
>>6814514
Maybe get some medical gloves to put on when you go to the bathroom

i don't know, something about this group really bugs me? all of their makeup looks so flat and white and they all have such bland expressions. they look boring.

>>6814640
Good, I wasn't the only one.

That Tavros is terrible.

>>6814630
fine whatever. maybe you'll grow up someday and get a job and maybe then you'll understand what respecting other people and the work they do means. thank god our store has in store security guards these days, saves me the trouble.

>>6814640

They're all incredibly average, so they all just look really dull in my opinion. None of them stand out as good or interesting and their expressions/poses are pretty boring, in my opinion.

>>6814658
I love the vriska and the equius and feferi's makeup and wig looks really good. everyone else is ok but average. bonus points for the whole group for clean paint and decent wigs

>>6814591
that vriskas wig and makeup make me want to cry

>>6814665
It all looks photoshopped to hell and back, though?

>>6814634
>immature & reckless
Right, a sturdy structure couldn't possibly hold 110 lbs of groceries
A 80in flat screen TV, maybe, but a girl and some food?? Absolutely ludicrous.
And wow, the poor concrete ground, couldn't possibly withstand all those flips.

>>6814657
I work clerical in a law office. I spend 8 hours every day at a desk being polite and respectful to the idiots yelling at me to control the bank lenders stealing their home, typing wordy contracts and precise lawsuits, the bosses ordering me around for their every whim, from coffee, to "broken" computers, to finding them stuff on Apple TV. I need to do everything they need exactly when they need it or someone's home/family or a $22m mansion is on the line.

I don't think my releasing a bit of steam sitting in a Costco cart is causing anyone a problem but the one you're causing yourself for no reason.

>>6814592
Who is this Sollux?

>>6814668
the wig needs more volume but i like the make up too. it's pretty canon, she does don a lot of blue slap

i like kanaya, but then again lirlys has the perfect maryam face imo. I think the Sollux wold have the potential to be really good and the cosplayer is very attractive but i hate his horns and glasses and the odd shoop in the eyes.

>>6814694
http://jonnethreeway69.tumblr.com/

>>6814686
we'll just have to agree to disagree then, I still think its disrespectful and immature. Other customers always thank me when I stop people acting like idiots at our store and that tells me I'm doing what's right for our business.

>>6814514
Latex gloves, yo!
Put them on, do your business, throw them out. Same thing with eating.

>>6814630
Get over it. Sitting in a grocery cart for two minutes for a picture is fine, but this whole "I'm having fun so you can't tell me what to do! You're just too stuffy to understaaaand" idea just smacks of immaturity that you really should have already outgrown if you're old enough to have a full time job. It's the same mindset that spoiled fandom brats point to when they actually are being offensive and/or destructive (ie posing on gravestone, trashing meetup areas).

>>6814640
Exactly my thoughts. Average cosplays on boring cosplayers with boring expressions/poses. Tavros is the only one that stands out.

>>6814586
>>6814591
>>6814592
>>6814593
I agree that they're all pretty boring. Many of them look pretty awkward (Feferi, Gamzee especially to me) and it just looks like none of them spent much time figuring out how to pose. I like the Sollux and the Nepeta though.

>>6814771
buww's horns are ugly as sin though

Lol all your cosplay looks gay, you didn't even try Homefucks.

>>6814827

You realize that posting that only receives angry responses, which in turn fills up the thread faster, which in turn gets us to 300 faster, which in turn makes us require a new thread sooner, right? You're only bothering yourself. Sage for no contribution.

I'm really pissed about how some of them have clean, shiny horns and others half rough textured looking horns. Sollux's wig is nice though.

Related, this is on page one when you sort the homestuck-cosplay tag by recent popularity.

>>6814994
that's because of all the fighting about the reflection in the glasses showing her bra

>>6815000
But why would they be fighting about it

>>6814980
how many times has MF cosplayed roxy and never once thought to put the curl in her wig?

>>6815044
Why do people actually like MF's costumes again? Aside from the occasional, fleeting attempt at good craftsmanship and "hawt body?"

Hey cgl! You're all familiar with [S] Aradia: Metamorphose? I was interested in doing something similar: Telling a Homestuck characters story through a cosplay music video. It wouldn't be for Aradia of course and I would use a different song, but do you think it would look too much like I was copying DamaraMegido?
(Pic obviously unrelated)

>>6815074
to be fair though this was before the canon gt design came out for the rouge class

although it doesn't excuse her craftmanship

>>6815418
I've always been amused at the fact that she made that cosplay just a few days before the canon rogue design came out

but I don't understand why canon gt roxy isn't on her roxy bingo when all of mookie's shitty designs are

>>6815427
>going to cosplay both rumminov and mookie's design

oh I'm sure both artists love that

what, no shitty militarystuck? She said she was going to cosplay that monstrosity

>>6815442
I'm pretty sure she is. I just went into her cosplay tag and this was the bingo picture that was in there

>>6815427
Her trickster Roxy is literally the only one I like.

>>6815481
She didn't even style the wig

>>6815485
I should probably have been more specific, the wig is styled, but it's a friend of hers wig. MF did not style it

>>6815481
I like her trickster roxy too but I think the skirt is too short and I'm curious to see what the wig would have looked like if she had actually taken a stab at styling it herself. I also like her Mom Lalonde actually

I'm not a fan of her default roxy but that's just because I don't like when people make roxy's shirt oversized and also off the shoulder because it just makes them look like they're swimming in fabric

>>6815310
Fuck you I only care that you are such dumb pieces of shit.
>>6815341

>>6815514
>do i look like i care?

logic error

Does anyone have tips for airbrushing? My friends did a mix of ben nye liquid makeup with final seal to delude it, and it looked pretty good, but its flaking off around the neck and joints even with adding more translucent powder and final seal.

>>6814586
That Feferi is pretty bad, along with the Karkat. They're all pretty mediocre though, except for the Sollux, Tavros, and maybe Eridan.

>>6815600
>>6815514
You "only care" because we like something that you don't, you douchey hipster faggot. Most of our weebs have moved onto DR, so why don't you go show them your hatred for mainstream fandoms? Or you could just stay and shit up our thread some more with your pained asshole?

>>6815616
I'm guessing it's the former, I mean, I've seen that post quite a long time ago and only recently since it got brought up again did I realize the cosplayer's bra was showing.

Thought it was just a strange, subtle little slip up, that's all.

>>6815618
I'd try not to give them any attention, soon enough, they'll get bored.

>>6815631
Oh, Christ... took me a second.

Hey! This is the Rufioh's completed costume I was looking for earlier. He looks great, anyone have sauce? I tried searching, but to no avail.

>>6815643

>>6815641
The baggy armsocks that obviously weren't finished? Yes.

>>6815641
someone reposted it onto their blog and pointed out the bra. the fighting is in the comments/reblogs. i didn't save anything because it was all retarded as fuck

>>6815527
Invest in nicer brands like temptu. It'll take you much farther. And hey, if you are cosplaying trolls for multiple days, it lasts for a good five days in a row if you don't sit and rub it off with remover.

>>6815600

>LOL U SO TROLLED xD!!!!!!!

7/10 I halfassedly replied.

Anyone else use fabric paint to paint their arms and legs? I do and it's wonderful. It doesn't rub off, I researched it and it's totally fine for your skin, (my skin isn't sensitive) and it lasts until you scrub it off! Just wondering if I'm alone here.

Stop replying to him guys. Just let him get bored

>>6815683
You're not, I do it. I usually use something else for my hands because it peels right off, but I use it for my arms and it's great because I can paint it the night before and have less work the morning of a con.

>>6815683
I also remember reading a guide or tutorial that involved using a mixture of eyeshadow or eyeliner (can't remember which) and foundation.

Anyone else do this? I was considering it at some point.

I suppose the bottom line is that as long as it's sealed and it hides your original skin enough, you should be fine, right? I want to hear opinions, regardless.

>>6815687
Yup, this. He'll be bored at some point.

>>6815692
>>6815683
Now I am considering this. Just fabric paint and then seal it?

>>6815687
Our thread is saging anyway and it was fun before they just got kind of careless and boring.

Anyone have any recs on what to make a Meenah trident out of? I've got my Meenah pretty much done but I don't know how to go about the trident.

>>6815695
I don't even seal it, it stays on VERY well. I'll go out for a rainy photoshoot and it'll be 100% waterproof.

>>6815694
Don't do it, it's shiny and comes off too easily. Eyeshadow/foundation has never worked, I doubt.

>>6815696
I made my trident heads out of mdf, getting them attached to the handle was tricky but it sanded out pretty smoothly.

>>6815699
Well, I suppose that is what fabric paint's purpose is... and you're sure it's safe for the skin? How long does it take to remove?

>>6815704
I'm guessing this is a no to the eyeshadow and foundation method? Or a no to the fabric paint method?

For the former, I know I saw a tutorial about it somewhere, I can't find it, but I also don't know if anyone else has done it before. Just wanted some insight is all.

>>6815214
sauce on the rufioh if you please?

>>6815685
Even though you're not serious, do you know how much it sucks to be physically assaulted and attacked for liking a harmless web comic?

>>6815685
>so who cares
well apparently you do. apparently you care a whole lot. and u mad about it.

>>6815705
*prop newbie here* What is mdf?

>>6815713
>>6815711
stop fucking replying to him

>>6815707
It's completely safe for my skin, but I'd suggest testing it on yours first. My skin is pretty tough.
And no to the eyeshadow method.

>>6815717
what the hell is this crap. they even failed at hot gluing the sburb symbols onto the hats. how the fuck do you fail at that

>>6815714

medium density fiberboard. it's sort of similar to plywood, but with a much better texture/consistency. solves a lot of the lumpiness/sturdiness issues you get with model magic, etc.

>>6815707
Fabric paint works really well. I recommend once you paint it on to use baby powder or something just to dust on it. It doesn't seal it, it just gets rid of the stickiness that the fabric paint has on your skin. I just don't recommend the foundation and eyeshadow method, it doesn't look all too great, and people say it's "cheaper" but the cheapest good foundation is like $9 and you'll need a LOT of it.

>>6815744
I know that people tend to seal their makeup with baby powder regardless. And people also use hairspray?

I've never done this before and I'm planning to do a cosplay in grey soon enough so I just want to know what to do, what to avoid, alternate options, etcetera.

So fabric paint the desired areas, then apply baby powder after and I'm set and sealed?

>>6814686
As a third party to this conversation, when I see people like you trying to justif immature behavior to "let off steam" it seriously makes me cringe.

It's not okay in any social situation to act like an ass or an attention whore. (and I mean attention whore in a genderless fashion)

>>6815683
Source for the research that it is "totally fine" please? Last time I checked, covering large chunks of your skin in non-breathable material is potentially very bad for you.

>>6815762
I don't understand all these ~alternate~ ways to paint your skin. why can't these people just buy regular body paint that is MEANT to be used on your skin?

and I think people who keep their paint on overnight/for multiple days are really gross sorry. so if you're grey all three days of a con weekend are you telling me you just don't shower?

>>6815778
i don't get them either, personally. what's the appeal?

>>6815778
Because they'd rather save the whopping $4 per bottle instead of buying something actually made for skin contact. Sorry if you can't afford a $6 pot of ben nye you shouldn't be cosplaying a troll.

PAX can be showed in, but that's the only one I know of.

>>6815778
Well, the only paint I've used that actually stays other than fabric paint was temptu, a very expensive airbrush brand ($12 for one oz, but you have to mix the grey with white, which you'll have to buy 4 oz to get enough, which is $32). I've tried a lot of methods and they rub or peel off. Including PAX, which isn't nearly as ~ wonderful ~ as people make it out to be. It peels off and makes your skin look like that of an elephant's.

Quick question about Roxy's skirt:

I'm having trouble finding a pink one that I actually like and all-over white is unflattering as hell on me, so how much shit would I get for using black instead?

>>6815803
Quite a lot. Just go for pink.

>>6815803
a lot. A lot of shit will be placed on your lap. A pink skirt is passable, but a black skirt has no appeal to roxy. Rose ... eh? maybe cause she has the goth girl thing, but roxy is a big no.

>>6815800
You are using PAX wrong then. The only reason PAX peels off is either you used a way too high paint to prosaide radio, or you used prosaide that had turned bad. Mixed correctly, PAX works fine on arms and legs. It does not stay put well on your hands and face.

I find it really hard to believe that you had no luck getting either creme or water-based makeup to stay on your skin when so many others have obviously had success. Are you sure that you were applying with the right brush?

>>6815805
>>6815806
Point taken. Black is out. Can either of you-- or anyone else, for that matter-- recommend something that isn't one of those shitty bodycon minis I see on pretty much every Roxy?

>>6815811
Are you talking Ben Nye? Or a nicer brand? It tends to be "successful", yes, but it depends how long you mean to wear it. And ultimately it can rub off even if you seal it like hell. I'm sure you see plenty of pictures, even of great cosplayers, who have some rubbed off make up on their sleeves. When I paint my arms I look for something that has no risk of rub off like that, that's why I tend to use fabric paint, PAX, or temptu.

>>6815815
Have you tried a skater skirt?
I know a few Jane cosplayers use them.
They're cute and has a bit of flair.

>>6815819
They do rub off yes, which is why PAX is preferable IMO. But even ignoring PAX as a possibility, I would still rather use something that rubs off after several hours than a product that has multiple manufacturer's warnings against use on skin. Fabric paint is not makeup.

>>6815823
That could work. Do you have any pictures of cosplayers wearing one? I'm probably going to have to order something offline, so I'd like to see the product in the correct context before I make any purchases.

>>6815803
>>6815836
Just use a goddamn white skirt.

>>6815836
Don't have pictures on hand, but I know I have seen some.
If you want to know how a skater skirt looks when on, take a look

>>6815836
my girlfriend got this skirt for her roxy! I got a similar one in blue for my jane and we're both really happy with our skirts

http://nudestuck.tumblr.com/post/48975813144#notes

My best friend posted on nudestuck and I know it's her, she linked it to her blog and doesn't try to hide it.

I have never talked about it with her. I don't know if I should, it was a year and a half ago. But damn, it's weird...

>>6816197
Holy shit I thought it was a bad Vriska, but no it's HIC. I'm laughing so hard, that's even worse.

Poor girl, she's fat but has small boobs. The worst.

>>6816178
They are an androgynous person who is sometimes a little overbearing in the sexual way that they act, despite their claim to asexuality. I personally enjoy being around them the majority of the time, but there have been incidents such as that which are rather offputting. All in all, they are an excellent dave who is able to stay in character (ie true to the comic) at panels and has good craftmanship on their cosplays.

>>6816197
Agh, but how is it in any way the Condesce...
I mean, I get that they want to show off their body, and you know what, that's cool, I guess, but... I didn't even think this was even Homestuck at first. Just a place to submit nudes and call it Homestuck.

I thought the idea was that you'd be in cosplay, at least.

>>6816214
wow I like how you say that you like them but then take a dig about how they identify?
I don't really give a shit but it's off putting when people are shoving body parts in my face without asking permission or apologizing afterwards if it was unintentional.

>>6816229
my apoligies if that rubbed you the wrong way, it's simply that the way they act such as int he example you gave I have seen many times, and when someone reciprocates, the "I'm asexual" card is played.

So I thought this Jake was just eh at first, now I find out they're kind of a jackass, according to this

>>6816343
He's not even that good. Wow.

>>6816340
ah I get what you're saying then

>>6816343
>OFF! cosplays take no effort
>Cosplays one of the easiest Homestuck outfits

Okay buddy.

>>6816343
holy shit what a complete cunt

>>6816343
> i want no straight couples to be able to get married for 50 years and only geys get to rule the goverment for 50 years and enslave and beat random straight people for being straight because revenge is the only way i could ever feel at peace with the wrongs that have been done to the lgbt community
No one on earth could possibly be this irrational, please tell me he got hacked or something because oh my god

>>6816390
I seriously can't tell if this kid is just one huge fucking troll or something. Because if you look through his blog it's all this shit-tasticly crazy.

>>6816390
They... actually said this? They were already bad enough from what I saw about the whole cosplay thing, and now this?

I'm starting to think their head's just not screwed on that properly.

>>6816343
is this like.
is this a joke.
that just seems too fucking retarded to be real.

>>6816390
also someone asked him how he got into cosplay and
>
i was transgendered for almost 3 years before i fell inlove witha gay boy and just accepted my body as a guy and pretty much said fuck it, this is my body and im gunna live in it god damn it

also he made a post bitching about genderbend cosplay but pic related - he's this male kanaya

>>6816457

>>6816457
>i was transgendered for almost 3 years before i fell inlove witha gay boy and just accepted my body as a guy

You're...you've got to be kidding, right? He honest to God said this?

>>6816477

I will admit, the chainsaw looks kind of cool, but now that I know more about him, I'm just put off more and more by his cosplays, no matter how well crafted or decent they look.

If you're really striving for perfection, for canon, (by the way he also has disdain for crossplays, genderbents (and oh look at his Kanaya) and AUs),

then you better lose your fucking arms and be as white as snow.

>>6816018
Ah okay then, thanks! I haven't really seen anyone else in this fandom do anything like that, so I was just wondering? Things in this fandom get kind of crazy so I wanted to hear the opinions of others before I do anything. Also thanks for the how to, I'm sure it'll come in handy! :)

>>6816457
Oh man I really liked his Male!Kanaya and Jake. :( Now that I know more about his actual character I just want to throw up looking at his costumes. His page is really bizarre and I really hope that it's all a joke.

>>6816343
>transmen and woman actually make some of the BEST cosplayers iv ever fucking seen.
Is it because they ARE trans* themselves? Fucking Christ.

>>6816547
hahahahahaha laughs because why does that even matter wow
if they're so into the idea of people simply being GOOD or BAD
why the hell point out that non-cis cosplayers are some of the 'BEST' way to turn cosplay into a matter of gender
i'm sorry but this guy is preachy as shit for someone who gets off calling people out on sj shit jesus my eyes are rolling so hard they're fucking echoing over here

Question about the whatpumpkin shirts, I know some of them aren't the right colours like Breath is, but what about Heart?

>>6816563
I have the Heart hoodie and the colors are pretty true to comic, so I'd say it's a safe bet!

>>6816343

He doesn't even make a good Jake, in my opinion. Even before reading that, his cosplay just... looks pretty bad to me.

>i worked for every dime that went into that cosplay. adult modeling online. its kind of more invasive then youv ever worked in your life.

modelling is the hardest job ever you guys if you're not a model you're not doing hard work.

wow this guys is an absolute cunt

>>6816702
Jfc they don't even get the right fucking coloured vest OR shirt, they need to just... stop.

That outfit that Jake has includes a dark green vest and a grey shirt, evidenced in the Act 6 Act 4 flash, and yet, this jerk has neither. So much for canon.
