>>7050051
this celes is amazing.

>>7050052
i also love this chihiro!

>>7050057

>>7050069

What are your guys's opinions on skin-painting? I want to cosplay Aoi, but I'm caucasian and pretty light/average. Should I bodypaint/spraytan a bit to look darker?

>>7050082
What i'd say to anyone wanting to tan up for a cosplay is just gradually self tan with fake tan you get in bottles and make sure you apply it evenly and smoothly and do it over time. It'll look the most natural.

>>7050049
is.. that like a week old carrot...?

>>7050051
420 blaze it nanami

>>7050082
Seconding >>7050095, use a gradual tanning lotion or something similar -- I like Jergens Natural Glow.

Bodypaint is a bad idea, it'll get everywhere, be a pain to apply and look much less natural.

>>7050077

>>7050082
Skin painting is all about your comfort level. If you artificially tan yourself for cosplay you'll probably get hate for black facing (I personally don't consider it black facing but some do), so prepare yourself for that. Also, be very careful with it because if it looks messily put on or streaky, you'll get called out both for bad make up and for being racists (once again, only some people consider it racist).
I think the best you can do is to go to a good non-special fx make up store, like Sephora, and get a high quality bronzer that tans you but isn't too obviously fake or far from your natural tone.

>>7050142
I'm gonna say right now, bronzer is super tricky because most of it is super orange and shimmery. If you do use brozer, you are at risk of looking like an oompa loompa disco ball.
I've heard some people use a spray by Sally Henson, I think? And it typically works pretty well.
Honestly, I think the best advice is go with either natural make-up or stage make-up, but don't go too orange, and don't go too far away from your skin tone.

>>7050073

>>7050077
did mahiru even try on her wig

>>7050052
she was in the last thread

>>7050057
what is wrong with you, this chihiro is terrible. Outfit is good, but face and wig are a no no

>>7050073
I will admit, this Asahina is kinda cute

>>7050238
I mean, they're certainly not amazing, but terrible is kind of out there? I'd say painfully mediocre, decent at best with a better wig and...it kind of looks like the cosplay itself is a tad bit too big?

>>7050073
asahina is very cute

may i request some toukos?

>>7050082
do you want to cosplay aoi because she's easy? if so don't we have too many shitty-ass white girl aois who are s-s-scared to tan, leave it to the 1000000 black girls who want to become ~tumblr famous~ and go do celes

besides if you do it: spraytans are shitty in real life, in photos, and to keep up. painting yourself will proably end up like pic related

>>7050386
Most likely a bought cosplay ( They should tailor it since it does look a bit too big. ) However I do think they have a cute face and if they tried harder ( like style the wig, maybe better eye make up ) They'd be a great Chihiro.

Yeah.

>>7050894
This is actually a really cute idea and it looks like they had a lot of fun.

>>7050925
No. Just no.

>>7050040
that squat looks fucking terrible

>>7050959
This junko had a good start but the wig kinda threw the rest of the costume off.

Can we please not name the DR general threads stupid tumblr shit like dangit grandpa? As someone who browses for threads through the catalog, it makes DR ones impossible to find. Please just call it by its proper name. Polite sage.

>>7050894
>Souda and Hinata aren't wearing matching camo thongs

... oh. Okay then :(

god I would love to have a monokuma suit

>>7051987
More people need to try to make mascot costumes (or at least decent gijinka) like this instead of those horrid monokuma facepaints.
This one is by far the best I've seen and it's still horribly un-aesthetically pleasing.
The human face isn't a perfect circle like monokuma is ffs. It's always going to look awkward.

>>7051987
That's amazing omg

I want to cosplay Aoi but I really want to avoid looking shitty and inaccurate. I was planning on buying a track jacket and modifying it but finding a plain red jacket is impossible so I think I'm just going to make my own. What would be the best fabric to use? And if anyone has a good link to a wig that would also be greatly appreciated.

>>7050598
Sure! I'm posting from the tag.

>>7050598

>>7050040
>chubster
Well she's got the donut thing down pat.

>>7050654
Is she really black? I just thought she was a tanned white chick. She doesn't look that dark at all..

>>7050598

>>7052223

she's not black or white, you retard. she's japanese, like the entire rest of the cast. didn't the name 'aoi asahina' tip you off?

>>7052213
pretty good and cute. just needs a black wig.

>>7052239
>Black
Uhm???

>>7052223
Aoi's a really tan Japanese girl. She spends her time in 5 different sports clubs. Girl gets a LOT of sun.

>>7052256
she looks 40 years old

>>7051987
Here is another good suit.

>>7052161
That's not even accurate to the character though.

>>7052312
is that a man with shooped tits

>>7052370
Looks like it.

>>7052246
THANK YOU ANON. INACCURATE COLORING FOR FUKAWAS HAS BOTHERED ME SINCE I'VE SEEN COSPLAYS. I understand if you buy your costume it won't work out for fuck's sake it's a pleated skirt and a sailor top (which I bet you could find tutorials for), if you make it WHY WOULD YOU NOT GET THE RIGHT COLORS.

sage for rant

>>7052396
What.
They were responding to the previous person saying that Fukawa's hair is black. I'm confused what you're ranting about, are you saying the uniform isn't black? Or?

>>7052376
That's actually a girl

>>7052425
Are you sure
If so that's the horribly unfortunate face and body

>>7052414
I thought that anon was saying "Uhm??" Because they were noting the fact that Fukawa's coloring isn't black. And I am saying the uniform isn't black. Unless my monitor is way off, it's a dark, dusty purpley color, not black. I think I've seen one Fukawa cosplay with a color that matches the game. If I interpreted anon's post wrong, then woops.

>>7052239
>>7052246
>>7052396
>>7052438

Fukawas hair is anywhere between dark brown to stylized black, the designers are incredibly inconsistent in what colour everyones hair is, Fukawa, Yamada, Junko, Togami and Kirigiri are the biggest cases for this.

I honestly don't care which shade Fukawas pick for their wigs, what bothers me is he amount of wigs that are either way too short of way too long.

i tried searching through past forums but couldn't find anything so: does anyone know a good place to find a kirigiri jacket? (even one needing some modification) I can make the rest of the costume easily so I don't just want to buy a cosplay,

Why

>>7052524
oh my goOODoododo sakura is supposed to be fit and in shape WHY ARE PLANETS "COSPLAYING" HER

>>7052524
her arms are making me laugh
THOSE BUFF MUSCLES.

>>7052213
best fukawa I've seen so far, just needs a longer wig.

>>7052161
I'm working on a Monobear kigu for my cosplay, and was planning on doing face paint as well. Do you think it's impossible to make the facepaint look decent?

I was tempted to just do a half black half white face with the red eye, and not paint on the mouth at all.

>>7052563
From all of the Monobear cosplays that I have seen, face paint just does not look well. Unless you really know what you are doing, the paint will smear and blend throughout the day and just look worst then what it originally was in the first place.

>>7052229
I understand that. I just don't see how it would be considered "blackfacing" or offensive to anyone. White people cosplay japanese anime characters all the time, she is not black - she is Japanese. So I don't see anything wrong with a white girl with a tan cosplaying her because Aoi is not dark at all.

Really loving this Junko!

>>7052639
is she wearing a painted-on bathrobe as a kimono...

>>7052644
and another closer one

>>7052644
>>7052649
omg I actually like her too!

>>7052649
How come almost no Junko cosplayers put the tie on the outside of the colour and boobs? I know it's a small nitpicking thing, but I find it really essential to her design, and seems like such an easy thing. Has anyone else noticed this?

>>7052668
collar*
don't know how i typo'd that so bad.

>>7052668
>>7052670
I've actually tried to do it before, but the way that ties are made, they don't like to stay in the shape of the collar. Instead, they end up pulling the collar down/in. Gravity would let it stay spread out

>>7052688
the only time the collar stays is when it follows the actual gravity of the tie..I have no idea how to explain it better

>>7052692
Couldn't you pin it though so that it stays in place?

>>7052229
>>7052248
She has blue eyes, though. Most anime characters cannot actually be asian? I mean, I know ethnically white folks irl with asian names because they and their parents were all born in China, and they still live there and speak the language. Names don't mean anything. Though I agree that she isn't black, and that pale people cosplaying Aoi just looks like shit.

>>7052915

She's Japanese. It does not matter if she doesn't 'look' Japanese to you. She lives in Japan, was created by Japanese authors, has a Japanese name, speaks Japanese, and IS Japanese.

>>7052266
Nah, pic related is what 40 year olds look like (and that's what they look like if they're a celebrity, most folks are a bit worse). She looks like she's in her late twenties. Dang, /cgl/, what up.

>>7052925
We get that she is Japanese, but what most people in this thread are saying is that we would prefer an aoi cosplayer with a little color to her skin instead of being really pale .

>>7052615
sage for obnoxious selfpost ugh sorry

anyway pic is what I did @ otakon, fwiw I sealed the hell out of it and it didn't budge so smearing wasn't a problem. should I completely throw out the idea of facepaint and switch to more human-style makeup? I feel like it's very polarizing.

>>7052974
I really like what you did with the eye on the black side (the feathered eyelashes are a great interpretation of the slashed eye!), but I feel the one on the white side should still have some liner.
I can't stand the mouth though. I'd honestly have to see it without any kind of stylized teddy bear mouth before I could decide whether the full face paint could decide.

Also, unrelated, but I absolutely love the monobear prop in pic related.

>>7052974
to be honest, i really cant stand face painting for monokuma, it just looks weird and unsettling, but that's just my opinion.

>>7052997
yeah I felt sort of lost as to what to do re: mouth and just stayed close to the character design? it definitely ups the creep factor in a bad way though. I'm not sure what to do instead?

(and oh my goodness, I love that prop.)

>>7053003
totally fair. I think it's kind of unsettling too.

>>7053034
so tired of seeing pictures of this girl. her face doesnt suit celes at all

>>7053034
That wig doesn't even look like hair anymore.

>>7053049
>>7053034
Every time I see wigs with curls like this, that have so much product they don't look like air anymore.

All I can think of is air duct hosing.

>>7053034
At first glance I thought this was pixyteri.

>>7052251
is that a fat suit?

>>7053034
thats card, right? it doesnt look like wig

>>7053062
I've seen some decent drills, but they're inherently unnatural/impossible. I prefer when people make them look less like the anime/manga and more realistic.

>>7053062
Hell this would look better than what she did to that wig.

>>7052524
shit like this makes me sad, but also motivation to get fit to cosplay her properly.

>>7051987
I am planning on making a full-body Monokuma suit like that, though I doubt I'm skilled enough to match that professionally-made suit.

Patterning the head is giving me the most trouble since the muzzle/mouth parts need to curve with the face. With some luck, I think I can debut the suit by spring 2014, like at Sakuracon or Fanime.

>>7053183
If you have it for Sakura Con, I would love to see you! Make sure you post some wips?

>>7052668
Huh, I actually never even noticed that's how the tie was supposed to go... I think calling that "essential to her design" is stretching it a little.

>>7053287
I'm not sure if I'd call it 'essential' but having a tie down the middle kind of ruins the low scoop-neckline look.

>>7053329
It would look better that way at least, yeah.

>>7053287
>>7053329
I guess essential just isn't really the right word. I just think the placement is important because of how it shows off the bra, and how she is as a SHSL Fashion Girl. I also think the bra is kinda important since [DR SPOILERS] Junko and Mukuro have different bras. That's pretty nitpicky though, I admit.

>>7052648
No, i think the fabric is just unfortunately shiny, plus it's not a great picture.

I like her wig better than Saionjis who go for the canon look, honestly.

>>7052539
I would not call that the best Fukawa....

>>7052524
eh it could be worse

>>7052312
i like the wig

>>7053034

why is this Celes posted so much? Something about her wig is just so ugly to me. It doesn't even look like hair and where the curls were placed on the head is way too low. Not to mention the way they're curled in and laying in front of her just look even more awkward. It also looks like she ran out of time and budget after making the wig, rushed her costume and used cheap as hell lace.

>>7050040
Does she not know how to do a fucking squat? 3/10 apply yo self

>>7050961
/fit/ comes to /cgl/

Okay I know nothing about this. Anyone care to tell me what Dangan Ronpa is and how I can watch/play/read it for free? Thanks seagulls

>>7053638
>>7053638
I think it's a game for PSP or something.

>>7050040
For Aoi's who want to do a squat for pictures, make sure your knees don't go in front of your toes and try your best to get your booty parallel to the ground so you have a right angle at your knees. That way you don't look like you've never worked out in your life.

>>7053634
Mostly because there's a lot of pictures of her floating around on tumblr currently. Obviously not every picture posted in the thread is meant to be good/noteworthy.

>>7053645
>>7053638
It's a series of PSP game that haven't be released out in America, the anime recently came out so you can just download or find sites that stream it. I know animeflavor has the series.

>>7053619
That's a really cute photo.

>>7053666
Oh god, those pigtails look like they're made out of construction paper.

>>7053279
I definitely will if 2 things happen:

1) There is some sort of Danganronpa event at the con, like official promotion or large fan gathering
2) The mock-up pattern actually looks decent enough that I don't feel embarrassed about it

If both happen, I'll most likely start work two months before the con.

>>7053666
What a fucking waste of trips

>>7053646
I'm pretty sure she's posing like she's about to jump in the pool, not like she's doing squats. Just saying... regardless of wearing a swimsuit or not, I guess.

>>7053656
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT WATCH THE ANIME FIRST. It's one of the worst adaptations I've ever seen. Play the game instead, it's pretty good. Or read the LP, that's how most early fans got into it.

>>7053673
> They aren't?

>>7053695
don't get offended just make better pigtails next time

>>7053701
> Implying I'm the cosplayer in pic

I was just agreeing, calm yo tits anon.

>>7053690
Really? All right, if you're comparing it against the game, perhaps it's awful, but it's a great show on its own. The quality of the series is pretty bad, but I am extremely entertained by the anime as an anime-only viewer and reading bits of game info here and there only supplements and makes the experience better. The point of the anime is to promote the series ahead of the 1 & 2 Reload game remake, so it has achieved its goals of reaching out to the broader audience, marketing, and being enjoyable.

>>7053666
>those trips.

>>7053756
It definitely promoted the series, but I personally feel like it cuts out a lot of important character development, which is the part that I find makes Dangan Ronpa so great. It's also fairly low budget, which you can see in how exact it is in copying things from the game. It's a nice promotional device, but nothing more.

Found this Teruteru in a tag on tumblr. Not too bad, but the wig and makeup could be better. According to the cosplayer, they're getting a new wig.

>>7054135
I'd like to see the symbol on the apron redone or touched up too, the painting looks a little uneven and sloppy. They have a good look for him though (which I don't mean in an insulting way...) so I'd love to see what they end up with after a few improvements.

>>7053690
>PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT WATCH THE ANIME FIRST.

SECONDING

but I still watch it for that sweet monokuma action

>>7054437
Agreed, I like watching the anime as a supplement to the game (mostly for the sake of screencaps...), but I feel like you're really missing out on a lot of characterization and atmosphere/suspense if you watch it first since everything is so rushed.

not bad. she seems to at least have some muscle definition.

Still havent seen a properly crazy looking genocider cosplay

>>7053634
She's been notorious for self posting throughout cgl

>>7053688
yeah but she looks ridiculous and not like she's gonna jump in the pool either.

>>7053625
ok, that's your opinion

>>7052539
>>7055048

Best Fukawa? Are we even looking at the same photo? Can you try for a second to look past the fact that she's pretty and recognize how atrociously made that cosplay is? It literally looks like she just bought a black long-sleeve t-shirt and attached things to it. She has no understanding whatsoever about how sailor collars actually work, judging by the way it's attached in the front. The trims are puckered, the bias tape is translucent, the 'pocket' is about to fall off, and nothing is the right color.

On an uglier girl, everyone would be ripping into this cosplay. This is very, very far from being the 'best Fukawa'.

Where is the grandpa cosplay?

>>7055082
I too want grandpa cosplay.

>>7055089

Seriously, i came here looking for badass or hilarious old dude cosplays who may or may not be old dudes themselves.

So has anyone got any pictures of Mondo done well?

>>7052261
>>7053666
Seeing these makes me afraid to even attempt Celestia

sage for whining

>>7055360
That poor wig, and missing hairclips.

>>7055360
why is this girl posted in every god damn DR thread

Seagulls, I need some help. I really want to cosplay Fukawa, but I'm scared to do it improperly. I have pretty decent sewing experience, but I don't know if I should sew the costume or buy it. Also, any recommendations for wigs? And I'm a bit bustier than most Fukawa cosplayers, but would that be a problem? Advice would be very appreciated, thank you.

>>7055058
I dont know man, it was their opinion. There are mistakes with this cosplay, yes, but you dont have to go on a full out rant. Calm down. ONE person said they thought she was the best. You dont have to jump on them like that. I'm guessing vandetta on this one, but honestly she's one of the better fukawa cosplayers in the fandom. Would you rather the girl posted above her?

>>7055808

It's not a vendetta, I have no idea who the fuck she is. I'm just pointing out that it's a shitty cosplay on an attractive girl, and if you covered her face literally no one would be calling her the 'best Fukawa'.

moar junko plox

>>7055808
>>7055829
imo neither cosplays are very good. the 2nd one's face isn't even that pretty (it's a terrible angle since her face is so long)

i wouldn't say it's absolutely horrible but there's nothing too special there. sailor collar isn't right, and i don't like the wig's styling and prefer darker ones.

>>7055837
saw this junko around with long-face touko at the convention these were taken at, both of them obviously put no effort in and rely on their 'good looks'. i think theyre sisters.

That's a really cute monomi concept!

>>7055871
jesus christ she's adorable

>>7055893
I just can't get over the fact that the pink side and the white side are swapped...

>>7055893
literally just a bodyline maid dress...

>>7055893
That celes didn't even attempt to make drills

Dear DR General:
If you were to style an Ibuki wig how would you do it? My cones are already good but I'm having trouble achieving that pulled back bunch of hair she has, seemingly coming from the cones.

I really adore this Komaeda cosplayer. They're a great Junko too.

>>7057123
Chiaki is laughable. Rest of the group looks really good, though. I'm impressed with the Saionji and Gundam wigs.

>>7057123

I like the Hiyoko and Sonia. Everyone else either looks like their costume is going to fall apart or like they bought it at a thrift store.

>>7055974
jesus christ why do people do their bottom lashes like that it looks weird as hell

>>7057316
I think the lower lashes are too far down but just a bit higher and it would look pretty good, especially from far away / photos

>>7057015
Here is a tutorial that should help you

>>7057015
This one too.

>>7057392
>>7057396
Not that anon, but thanks for these. What are they using for the horns/cones in this tutorial? It looks like colored foam, but would a cardboard cone be fine?

Does anyone have advice on how to make a Gundam wig? I assume I'll have to combine a grey wig with a black one, but I've never done it before.
Completely unrelated pic for contribution

>>7057316
It's a really weird fad going around Japan and some parts of NA right now. Basically you totally muck up where you put your false lashes and put light colours between them and your actual eyes so you eyes look bigger. (And more anime I guess).

>>7055971
is that a boy? (no disrespect if so, they just have very strong features and i'm curious)

Did cifera ever cosplay mukuro junko? Does anyone have pics?

>>7057488

>>7055974
Makes you eyes even bigger. Here's a better example

>>7052886
no, the issue isn't the tie, but it's the fact that the collar itself will fall and slide towards the neck is what i'm saying. What are you saying, to pin it to the skin, pfft

>>7054437
yes thirding this. Motherfucking anime missed out on A LOT!

>>7057499
be more obvious in your self posts

>>7057636
except that cifera usually trips when she posts or at least identifies herself. try harder

>>7057636
someone asked for it...

>>7057421
I'm the gundam in >>7057123 and I made my wig out of 1 grey wig and 1 black wig. I seam ripped the top area of the grey wig and glued on wefts from the black wig. For the swirly thing I made a base out of this stiff felt stuff and then glued hair onto that. I used this tutorial for the hairline: http://malindachan.deviantart.com/art/Wig-Hairline-Tutorial-216211961 and applied that method for sideburns as well. The only problem is that because of how wigs are constructed, when the hair in the back is as short as gundam's, the wefts show through a little bit but I think you could probably use the extra wefts from the top of the grey wig to fill out the back area a bit more. I didn't have time to do that, but I left the hair just long enough that it wasn't really a problem.

I hope that helps! I can explain stuff in more detail if anything is confusing

>>7057123
is that the saionji that was posting her progress in the thread? either way she's severely lacking in makeup

>>7054660
her eyes kind of look droopy like a dog's eyes?

>>7057743
It's just a shitty photo. She posted a picture of what her make up looked like a thread ago or so.

>>7054660
i met them. thats a dude.

>>7053611
ugh bet shes ugly because shes hiding her fucking face

>>7057781
Ugly face and even uglier personality

>>7057781

That's cifera. She's got the looks.

>>7057785

Try harder, anon.

>>7057757

.....And? What does that have to do with her cosplay...? It's not as if she can remove and replace her eyes? This thread complains about the stupidest shit sometimes.

>>7057781
>>7057785
dude cifera looks great. and it's just a really common thing for cosplayers posting wips to do. get off 4chan and actually look at your local cosplay community instead of being a little shit.

>>7057836

The vendetta is really obvious, just ignore them and carry on. I'm quite looking forward to more of her Sonia, it looks pretty nice so far.

>>7057836
She's a chubbychan and looks awful without loads of photoshop

>>7057015

I never understood how her hair works... I don't have a reference on hand but I seem to remember that it literally looks pigtail-parted in the back? I don't understand how that can be done with so much hair also hanging out, and I've never seen it done like that, only like in the tutorial anon linked.

>>7057836
not when her photos are shooped to hell

>>7057797
uh he can use some\make up. some guys think that they don't need to use any make up because they're cosplaying guys and it's infuriating. Not that that's what this person did, just a pet peeve of mine.

>>7057959
guys or not a particularly pretty girl*

>>7057889
>>7057953
I've seen her irl and she hardly photoshops at all, only make up touches if that. Not to mention that she's also super popular from her cmvs, where obviously you can't photoshop.

>>7055969

Why the fuck bother if you aren't going to do the drills???

>>7057964

This, I've never seen anyone call her ugly before. 'Only pretty with ahoop' seems like a really weird thing to say about someone who's candid photos and videos are really easy to find. And now that I've written it out like that it seems even weirder.

>>7057959

i agree but i think the anon meant more about the sagging quality of the under eye skin, which is something that can't really be fixed.

>>7055808
stfu samefag, you aren't fooling anyone

>>7057889
>chubbychan
yeah okay

>>7058043
hi thunderthighs

>>7058043

Oh wow

>>7058043
>>7058057

Hi Cifera

>>7058057
I don't even know why vendettafags come around anymore with complaints about cifera. She's nice from what I can tell, has good cosplays, and hating on stupid shit like her legs (which I agree, are delicious) has no real impact. Every thread has some faggot being completely unfair to her and I find it a bit amusing how they keep on coming.

>>7058057
>>7057889
sorry but in real life people arent normally stick thin animu girls

>>7058079

This, holy crap just let it die. It's slopping up the thread with pointless shit about a cosplayer who contributes decent stuff to this fandom. I come to these threads for cosplay photos and good content, not some faggot whining and trying to pretend they're more than one anon.

>>7058043
She has my ideal figure. So jelly..

>>7058079
but she really isn't nice and i don't understand why she has a fanbase that comes running to her defense when someone says anything negative about her.

god damn this bitch has a lot of white knights though "some faggot whining and trying to pretend they're more than one anon" applies to whiteknights too.

>>7058079

I follow her and have since she was damaramegido, and it seems like half of all she ever blogs is helping out other cosplayers. She's alright in my book. I don't care about what she did to piss one anon off.

Can we get back on topic now? We're about 2/3rds through the thread, you guys need to stop feeding the troll.

>>7058087
I personally think that she's nice, but again, from what I've seen as I don't know her too personally. I can understand actual critique but saying stuff like how she has 'thunder thighs; really doesn't make sense because it's not good critique at all. I think that the more popular a cosplayer is, the more hate they get for small things, and this really applies to cifera.

I liked it when people were critiquing her make up, instead of talking about how she's too fat. Where's that asshole OP when we need them.

>>7058043
what is that white tissue looking paper coming from her bra???

dear god the thunderthighs is stuffing her bra along with the immense shoop and all of you fuckin whiteknights defend her

>>7058106

Anon, I think that's light and shadow.

>>7058103

now now..... dude. no one is saying she's "too fat", it's just she over photoshops her images and like... why does she photoshop her body instead of her face?

>>7058114
except there were people saying that

Fucking hell this is turning into a massive vendetta jelly fest.

Stop feeding the troll, people. Come on. We know better than this.

>>7058114
jesus, with what goes on in this thread, I wouldn't blame anybody for photoshopping anything of their body or face.

you guys are assholes, and this is getting boring. Could I request some cute Hanamura's so I can have good ideas for his makeup and such?

>>7058043
ALL DAT SHOOP

>>7058133

The hairline looks wonderfully natural. Why so pale on the eyebrows though?

>>7058136
gundam doesnt have eyebrows

>>7058135
that hiyoko looks terrible why isn't she wearing makeup

>>7058144

Yes he does? I just googled him and he has eyebrows in every piece of game art...

>>7058146
his reference sheet literally says no eyebrows

>>7058128
if i remember correctly she posted that she had to shoop her left arm because she had a bunch of silly temp tattoos.

>>7058149

Then what are those eyebrow looking things above his eyes supposed to be? Flesh folds?

....eeeeeewwwww

>>7058145
hey there, I am wearing make up. I don't really know what makes it look like I'm not or if my make up is that bad, but yeah. Just for the record.

>>7058156
its probably just to show his brow bones or something everyone has those

>>7058156
haha yeah i'm pretty sure they are. he just has a perma-frown

>>7058159

Huh, it actually looks pretty decent on that cosplayer. I guess contouring and grey shadow right above the eyes would probably work. Though I am reconsidering cosplaying Gundam now because I don't want to shave mine off. Thanks for letting us know, though I might have to pick a different character now.

>>7058170
you could always get brow wax

>>7058173

My eyebrows are awkwardly ragged looking, I'm sure you've seen the type. I think that the wax would just make my forehead lumpy.

>>7058170
There is a tutorial out there for covering your eyebrows with makeup. I can't see to find it right now

>>7058106
quit ur jelly, gabby is a sweet, sweet goddess

>>7058087
how has she ever been "not nice"

>>7058185
>>7058182
Why are people still whiteknighting her stop oh my god.

>>7058185

She hasn't but we were doing a great job moving on from this, let's not continue taking troll bait.

>>7057781
>>7057785
......how do you know who it even is unless you follow them/stalk their tumblr. y u so obsessed with her

>>7057123
i feel like that hiyoko spent all the effort on the wig and gave up with the furisode

>>7058192

I just want to take this Kuzu and lovingly tailor their suit to fit properly.

>>7058197
I agree it's so poorly constructed just everything about the obi and the way it's folded looks horrible.

>>7054660
>limp wig
>red converse

nah

>>7058194
No one fucking cares. Stop bringing the subject up.

cifera is overrated. can we talk about/post pictures of some DR cosplayers who are actually memorable and not just tumblrshit?

>>7058208

Sure. How about you start, since you seem to know of some secret treasure trove of amazing cosplayers.

Let's stop nitpicking over Cifera and post some cosplays. JFC

>>7058213
>implying cifera is the one and only amazing cosplayer in the fandom
She's not that great people need to stop treating her like god it's getting old.

>>7058213
>secret

lmao gb2tumblr where mediocre is considered the best

the pumps
how is it possible to mess up this bad

>>7058218

I wasn't implying anything like that. I'm just sincerely wondering where else you would find 'memorable' DR cosplayers outside of cure or tumblr since tumblr is where all the non Japanese ones are.

Does anyone have any more pictures of the robot Nidai from Otakon? Hi res ones? Or at least his tumblr?

>>7058207
Really cute group shop.
Though I still laugh about how Kirigiri wears her gloves to gym, even though I've read it and know why. I just think it's really adorable.

>>7058217
I'm pretty interested in that tattoo. Any close ups? Hard to tell quality at this angle/size.
Rest of the cosplay looks store bought so nothing special there.

>>7058224
The Cifera topic is dead; have some Komaeda.

>>7058157
ok but it is pretty bad if it's impossible to tell you're wearing it it's wrong
it just looks sloppy and lazy imo

>>7058246

Yeah I'm trying to figure out the tattoo too... Liquid eyeliner maybe? How would one do that without it smearing all day at con?

>>7058251
You can probably seal it with powder and a setting spray

>>7058248
I feel as though one of the points of wearing make up especially for a character like Saionji is to do it subtly so it doesn't look like the person is visibly wearing make up.

Although if you mean that my make up looks bad in some places, critique is appreciated unless it's something like "it just looks sloppy and lazy imo" . the lighting is pretty bright that it's hard to see the make up anyway, so I'll be surprised if you do come up with a critique that's actually valid.

>>7058244
His tumblr is http://mangycarface.tumblr.com

>>7058264

>all dogs go to heaven username reference

oh god please be single

>>7058263
Well the eye makeup looks wrong because the lashes seem to be totally missing and it looks like the only thing you applied was white eyeliner and black eyeliner on the top lid
the lack of gold contacts further adds to the lazy not wearing makeup look
Hiyoko has pink blush that is no where to be seen on you
and at least put lipgloss on or something so it looks like makeup is on instead of appearing as if you only put a little foundation and eyeliner on and called it a day

>>7058275
I did have the contacts, I didn't apply white eyeliner, I also had eyelashes as well... the reason why I said that I would be surprised if a valid critique was made, was because the pictures that were uploaded are very bright and blocks out a lot of detail. you do have a good point on the pink blush, so I'll try that next time as well.

>>7058043
???
She is thick/chubby. It may be proportioned correctly, but it doesn't change the fact that she is not a thin person.

>>7058043

>>7058263
different anon, but even though the makeup should be subtle, it shouldn't be to the point where people are going, "why the hell isn't she wearing makeup?" i'd say you have to go a bit heavier, add blush and false lashes. use some eyeshadow, but keep it in natural tones (shades of brown)

The DR cosplay tag on tumblr is nothing but terrible Junkos right now. Someone make it stop.

>>7058291
Can you stop replying to everything someone says about you? You're getting really fucking annoying. Stop making up excuses for your shitty makeup.

>>7058327
tumblr savoir junko?

>>7058291
just stop making excuses. no matter how bright, we can tell how crappy it is. just improve your make up and stop whining.

>>7058358

I don't see how she's making excuses.

>>7058405
different anon but probably the
>surprised if valid critique was made
>pictures are very bright
>blocks out a lot of detail
picture isn't bright enough by a long shot to make your makeup look like that. if you're photoshooting, you should know that the camera will make your makeup look like nothing, so you have to go heavy.

>>7058251
I think if you baby powder the shit out of the eyeliner it stays.

I'm more curious about their actual execution and stuff more than the technique.

>>7058331
Asking her to stop making excuses is totally valid, but tbh the reason why we put critique here is for everyone to collectively improve, including the cosplayer we're critique. I'm actually really impressed that she is reading everyone's message on here, and from a few threads back with her kimono, actually improving.

>>7058327
I thought you were over exaggerating until I looked. wow.

>>7058087
This. I actually REALLY love her cosplays, but I've personally seen her twist stories and shit and I'm getting sick of her "I tell people how it is" attitude when sometimes it comes off as harassment (such as influencing people to send anon hate to someone, watching it happen, and doing nothing when the person is harassed because of her. This has happened twice to the same person, I thought it was brutal regardless)
It gets sickening to see people cry about how great she is when they haven't even witnessed her in real life.
A lot of talent, great cosplays, shitty person.

>>7058552
are you talking about janecrocker

Serious lack of best girl in here

>>7058552
It's like no one remembers mu_empire.

>>7058552

janecrocker is a terribly shitty person but I'm pretty sure she never 'sent' anyone after her. janecrocker invites that crap on herself by existing.

This thread is a festering shit pile of vendetta and nitpicking. How hasn't OP nuked it yet?

>>7058605
hi cifera
youre a fake bitch and people know about it

>>7058612

Uh, no. Sorry for wanting quality threads instead of this juvenile mess.

Less Vendetta-chan's, more cosplays please.

>>7058623

in your opinion the perfect touko cosplay would have what color hair and what color uniform? i have been looking at bordeaux shades for her wig but i can't decide if her clothes should be purple too? i saw a brown uniform for her that i loved but it didn't seem quite accurate. it doesn't look black to me either.

>>7058638
>bordeaux
No. Hair: very dark brown, cool-toned (purple-tinted as opposed to red). Uniform: extremely dark purple or navy, perhaps? It could swing either way from the game, anime and figure, but I really like seeing off-black tinged with one of them.

>>7058202
those hems make me so sad

for the people who really have beef with cifera, why don't you just make a club and send her anon hate all day or something and stop shittin up the threads with this dumb drama. I'm not defending her. I don't care about her but she's a pretty good cosplayer and that's all we should care about if she gets posted here. not petty shit from middle school. this happens every damn thread and its just so fucking tiresome to see it instead of actual cosplays. just stop.

and ill actually contribute too.

>>7058805

>>7058264
it looks like he put his makeup on after he put on the helmet. and it looks like he didn't seal it. otherwise great costume

>>7057414
use foam so the core is more secure and you can attach it to the wig more easily. get some foam at your local craft store and cut it to shape. for stuff like this styrofoam is fine.

>>7059025
his make up looks like it may have been sealed but he's been sweating to me and it's rubbed where the costume is. He should have probably used an oil reducing primer before putting it on, I see both problems a lot with homestuck make up too.

>>7058638
A slight purple tint if you can manage it, but trying to go for purple tints tend to go super wrong. You'd probably be better aiming for dark brown hair, and brown-almost-black fabric.

In some of Sonia's sprites/artwork it looks as though her "braid" is actually two going outwards from her hair part to me. Any opinions? Does anyone see what I mean?
I'm cosplaying her soon and I want to be as accurate as I possibly can.

>>7059143
maybe snazaroo would be better for his costume? ben nye is oil based while snazaroo is dryer?

>>7053611
Those legs are like huge stumps of fat.

>>7059381
Yeah really. And not only that but the construction of the costume isn't even that great? It's so obvious where it's all gathered and attached to the top portion I feel like the belt should cover that but she thinks it's cute and makes her look skinny to have it so high up.

>>7059386

But that's exactly what it looks like. >>7059208 it's supposed to be at the waist and gathered. Why are you complaining about something being sewn properly. Wow is your vendetta ever burning hard.

>>7059381
>>7059386

just shut the fuck up already you whiny cunts. we get it, you don't like her, but no one cares except you. you are contributing nothing to this thread and when your previous whining didn't work you've turned to complaining about shit that isn't even done incorrectly. you aren't fooling anyone.

>>7058676

i can also see purple, but it does look like it has red tones too. it's a very warm shade of brown in general. i just don't want to get something that would be better off as a mikan wig. touko's hair looks a lot more red than that to me.

>>7059208
I've been wondering about that for a while too. In other shots it looks like the braid starts at the bottom of her head and crosses over part without splitting. I think either way would work, but you'd probably need a skin top side part if you wanted to incorporate the part properly.

New thread. Don't fuck this one up.
