/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm a short female and I don't want to gender-bend or do the sweet version, so who knows if this will ever happen.

I know I messed up a lot on this one, but I had never done armor before. Messed up the chin paint last minute, I know. It's being worked on and upgraded right now though.

Next goal is Lambda-11 or Nu-13 from Blazblue. I fell in love with their designs, but I want to complete all of the story mode in both games before I officially decide.

Lady Hawke, in just about any of her more interesting/less often seen armor. I'm quite tall and have a reasonably similar face to the default Hawke but feel I'm too fat and not confident looking enough to pull it off.

I'd actually love to do any super cutesy characters too but I'm too old and giant to pull off anything schoolgirl anymore.

Would love to do MGS1-era Revolver Ocelot. Alot of people do the MGS3 version, but always preferred his original appearance. Sadly, my mustache isn't grey/white enough, and I don't want to dye it if it means sniffing chemicals all day. And false 'taches look rubbish.

So, that giant anchor...

This glorious bastard.
I plan on starting work on him later in the summer, hoping to have him finished for a local con in March.

>>6921323
Couldn't you do something like the makeup tricks for tinting eyebrows?

Not sure about those giant katars.

I wonder if people could figure it out.

>>6921429
balalaika?

>>6921437
Yeah merged with Eirin Yagokoro.

>>6921429
>scarred Eirin

no plz


;_;

Oichi's alt from SB3
but..her tail things and shadow hands

>>6921248
Wow that's amazing

Absolute favorite movie series regardless of what anyone says, and my favorite outfit of the 5 out so far. I would of course be swapping the gender of the outfit to not have a female top and not have a wedge boot.... but I don't ever see myself having hundreds of dollars to be able to special order those moto-boot buckles that were used for this costume. Oh well :(

I would want to do The Kid from Bastion.

Unfortunately I am too tall/I don't have a girls face.
Shit sucks.

I could do hachiman hikigaya
People tell me i glare and my hair is the appropriate length

I've tried and failed this twice.
Someday...

I'm too skinny for it and my monster-type effects skills aren't up to that level... yet...

I would love to be Kaworu but the problem is I don't have a dick and I am not tall or skinny enough.
I would also like to be Mark.06, as strange as that is. I saw a picture of a really neat Unit 01 cosplay, so maybe in the future I can be a robot too...

War from Darksiders. it will never happen though cause I'm not tall enough or muscular at all, I'm super lean. Just a silly dream

>>6926324
Good news is that Kaworu doesn't have a dick. He's flat. Like a barbie. Anyway, I think as long as you can contour your face with makeup to be as delicate and sharp as his I think you'll do good!

I really like Love Machine's design but I'm female and nowhere close to being as buff as he is. That and if I were to do something that is accurate but modest, I can't do it without making it look like a shitty/sexy genderbend.

not sure how to pull off the legs to hip..

I wanna make a Daft Punk helmet. Preferably Guy.

>dont have the skills

>>6921353
Hardware stores (especially big chains) carry insulation foam that would be perfect for May. My friend wanted to do it, and you can get enormous amounts of the foam for cheap. It cuts pretty easy with a jigsaw and sands down easy, too.

The bodypaint D:

I've lost hope after seeing too many cosplayers drop the spaghetti on making this look good. I mean, if Yaya of all people came out of it looking like a trashfest I've probably got nothing to hope for. :(

>>6930342
I thought the GSTQ iteration was pretty well done.

so i saw some people were saying all Jessica Rabbit cosplays are shit...well i came across an english cosplay Choupett who is makin a JRab cosplay and she's knocking it out the park so far..

>>6930342

Kay Pike here in Canadaland did a decent jessica rabbit at this years Calgary comic expo.

>>6930330
I love this game. I love this character. I just always hated how off the sneakers make the entire costume look. Sure, it's comfy, but it always seem like 'hey, wrong shoes' moment waiting to happen.

>>6930393

She was doing the carmeldansen dance and like 50 guys were waiting for an accident, or just hypnotized by the bouncing.

>>6930330
Actually, a flesh suit with fabric paint or airbrushing works best.... I thought that was obvious.

>>6930400
>flesh suit

Sorry, but not all of us are fakebois.

Jessica rabbit's dress isnt red..its pink..and the shoes are pink too
all of the cosplays look so drag queen

>>6930417
It was only pink in one brief scene due to lighting effects.

Go back to bed, Yaya.

>>6930443
>It was only pink in one brief scene due to lighting effects.

Exactly. When she was on stage the glitter in her dress gave that effect.

Under normal lighting the dress was very red.

>>6930459
she wears two dresses. a performance dress which is glittery pink and a regular dress which is plain red. confirmed by the official disney statues you can buy, all the glittery dresses are pink and all the others are plain red.

>>6930468
One toy with a mistaken color does not equate "confirmed" status.

>>6930468
CAN WE STOP HAVING THIS FUCKING ARGUMENT EVERY WEEK

>>6930784
thank you.

>>6930468
Go back to bed, Yaya.

>>6930468
Actually, the lighting just made it look pink in the movie.

But I guess if toys are considered canon, I can get away with this.

not enough black/dark skinned people anywhere and theyre all naked ;_; is there anyone else i could do besides fran?

>>6930866
Maybe cosplay a different viera? A lot of them have slightly more modest clothing, look up her sisters

>>6930866
Yeah, Fran's sisters or even some of the job classes from other Ivalice games.

>>6930866

There are white skinned viera too. Look into the Veena and Feol viera. IIRC Rava are the dark skinned viera.

>>6930400
>flesh suit

The problem is that he's completely bare on his neck and wrists, so that creates a problem.

The designs can also move, or the suit doesn't fit fight. Though those could be mitigated with careful attention...

Hrmm, I think experimentation would work best here.

Doomrider

This guy is basically Rockso and Deadpool's future baby, and horrifically under-represented. Unfortunately the cost of decent armor, body paint, a chaos-style guitar, and a motorcycle is far out of my wallets reach.

One day. One day…

It would only work if my head were actually on fire.
That or Akiba Red.

>>6931192
Mah nigga

For me, pic related. Will post in every dream thread until it is reality. Maybe one day a pic of me in pic related will pop up in one of cgl's threads...

>>6930330
My dream cosplay too but i'm black, any thoughts on an inverted demi-fiend would people still recognize me?

>Those Cold-Blue eyes

>>6936184
>demi-fiend
a black demi-feind would. Be. AWESOME> do it right with luminescent paint and colored contacts and I'd even say skip the wig and go nappy. Or a little fro-y. You could bleach a two inch fro to match the paint.

Go for it.

>>6930866
I think the white mage is adorable, it's what I'm going to make next year.

>>6936211
I was thinking of getting waves in my head and dying it white instead, but i'll think about the fro since in 2-3 months its not possible to get waves that look this good(at least naturally)

I want to make it accurately sized to her Prime proportions.

its such a simple cos,
>i just need like 30-40lbs more muscle

>>6937950
/fit/ plz go

I have no idea where to begin with this costume. As for me, I need to lose 100 lbs for this to be accurate.

>somewhere over the rainbow~

>>6942423
Ashlotte!! <3 I would DIE if I saw a well constructed Ashlotte cosplay!

>>6930267
They have some cheap ones on etsy just gotta finish it and paint it.

>>6942426
OMG! Inorite?! I've been so gay for her design ever since the game came out and have dreamt of an amazing cosplayer to take her on.

>>6930326

How resistant is it? Could I make a whole staff out of it?

>>6942423
What is this from?

One of my dream cosplays that I'm hoping to try for Anime North 2014. I'm totally clueless about how though (Nami from LoL)

>>6942764
This is Ashlotte from Soul Caibur IV. She's an extra unlock able character who uses Astaroth's move set.

>>6936184
That'd be really cool. I like it when people get creative and try working with their skin instead of against it.

When I am willinging to show that much skin.

Ariel's pink ballgown :/

I know next to nothing about big poofy dresses, hoopskirts, and what not. Not to mention those sleeves.

Someday.....

>>6943980
Read the hell out of some historical costuming blogs, you'll get there someday!

>>6943980
Actually those sleeves are quite easy to do. And hoopskirts aren't that complicated, just make a big skirt and stick a hoop skirt underneath, ta-da!

Kormand'r/Blackfire. It's just so damn busy, I dont have the skill to make it not look like a hot mess. maybe some day.

>>6944008
Don't be steering her wrong! Petticoats! Petticoats are what make the poof: the hoop/crinoline only supports the structure to give it the proper shape but a petticoat is the item that will give you the actual desired poofiness. Otherwise the ribbing of the hoops will show through quite un-glamorously. Petticoats are time consuming but relatively easy to make. They also can also be purchased if you don't want to take the time! Good luck!

This hot piece of ass.

not skilled enough, also the time, money, and materials that would have to go into this. ;_;
I would also love to be juliet from lillipop chainsaw but jnig pretty much topped the charts and I'm not white.

>>6942968
wow, this is beautiful, what is it from?

>>6948013
Angol Fear (アンゴル・フィア Angoru Fia) is a bonus character in Soulcalibur IV

>>6948009
is... is that from air gear

>>6948063
are you even serious right now

>>6948031
>>6948013
Based on the character from Sgt. Frog

Will never be tall enough, be skinny enough or know how to make a centaur body. Forever a dream.

>>6948372
CLOP CLOP.

One day.

Ophelia, Kyoukos witch form from Madoka

Because I can't bring a horse to a convention or make my head into a burning flame...

I will however make a humanized version of this witch someday, but the real version will forever be a dream

>>6931025
Eh easy come easy go.
and if you get that joke then I definitely need to see a doomrider cosplay

>>6930396
is there a video anywhere?

>>6942423
>>6942426
>>6942429
Someone did a good one, just don't have a picture.

>>6921248
Can anyone tell me what character OP's pic is?

>>6949533
I think it is a Night Eld Druid

>>6949533
World of Warcraft Night Elf druid
