/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Self posts often need a jump start from OP. Post your own stuff first.

Posting nudes lol

>>7364761
Not OP but i'll get the ball rolling I guess. youre probably better off posting in a week or two since katsu is coming up

>What fabrics you used
shitty 2 way stretch vinyl. It was so hard to find green in multiple shades.

>How you styled your wig
I threw it in a bag and mistreated it for years
but seriously when i first got it i didnt know how to wig, ive owned it for 3 years and tossed it around and stuff. im amazed it still looks so nice

>What techniques..
not exactly an exciting costume

>Fabrics used
I used sweatshirt fleece for the sweater, cotton twill for the skirt and sailor collar, and then duck canvas for the bag.

>How you styled your wig
I cut it and thinned it out a lot. And then just curled the bottom with a curling iron a little bit and put some hairspray in the bangs. It wasn't hard but I'm not too experienced with cutting wigs without heavy styling so I was happy.

>Techniques used
The special skill of kneeling on my kitchen floor for 5 hours to paint the plaid for the skirt and then crying all over it.
I also drafted the pattern for the sweatshirt but it wasn't that difficult of a thing to make.


>>7364806
Vinyl looks like scary shit to me still. So I am amazed with all the stuff you do with it and how it comes out looking so clean.

This thread seems interesting, so I'll give it a shot. My last cosplay was Jounouchi Katsuya, but I don't have any nice pictures of it plus it's kind of unimpressive. So I'll post the cosplay I finished before that, my color alt of Ky Kiske.

>What fabrics you used
This cosplay was a whole bunch of gabardine, wool, vinyl, and buckles.

>How you styled your wig
I'll start by saying I'm not too happy with how the wig turned out. I did a little cutting and curling, but I really need to add volume to the bang area.

>What techniques or tricks helped in making your props
The prop is a pretty basic wooden sword. My friend (the Sol behind me) cut out the main pieces for me and I assembled it by drilling holes and inserting dowel rods. Costume-wise, this is the first cosplay I've made where I've done the bias tape correctly and I'm fairly proud of that.

>>7364806
Is this based on any official art? Nothing personal against you but slutting up those two characters just for the sake of slutting them up is pretty stupid.

>>7364806
What the fuck
Are these actual p4 outfits or are you just being slutty?

>>7364840
Whoat, you look great!! I love your wig and the fabric of the skirt is perfect.

>>7364842
I've seen your Jounouchi in the wig color bingo thread and that wig is beyond fantastic. You do great work.

>>7364806
>slutting up my waifu Chie
I seriously hate people like you.

>>7364858
Nah, based off some cute fan art.

>>7364840
The pleats in your skirt looks so clean. Vinyl isn't that hard to work with, especially if you use 4 way stretch, I've grown quite fond of it myself.
>>7364806
That green is a fantastic colour, if online where did you get it? It's always good to have a source of tacky coloured stretch vinyl.

>fabrics you used
Brown is all non-stretch vinyl I had left over from shingeki straps. Top, socks and shorts are cotton lycra (4 way stretch is so much easier to sew than putting in a fly and so much more comfortable). Turned over fabric on boots (which I just realized aren't all that visible in this photo) is broadcloth. Gloves are leather gardening gloves painted with watered down acrylic paint to keep their flexibility.
I think that's it, not a very interesting costume.
>how you styled your wigs
Fringe is a combination on hairspray to keep it tidy and craft glue on the tips of it.
>what techniques
Nothing I can think of that's exciting really. Clips on the top and socks are suspender belt clips from spare belts I never wear. Armband and belt buckle are craft foam covered in 2 way stretch vinyl with a layer of silver spray paint for the base.
>tricks helped in making your props
No props

>>7364886
I got it off some random ebay seller but I wouldnt recommend it, the vinyl is separating from the fabric backing after one wear ):

>>7364892
Damn, I was hoping to find a source for up coming JoJo costumes without having to search for it myself. Thanks for answering anyway.

>What fabrics you used
For the cape/cloak, I used a heavy suiting wool, the shirt is a cotton linen, the vest is a faux suede, and the pants are a drapery fabric I found that I liked the coloring of.

>How you styled your wig
Just sectioned off some of the more prominent spikes and used some got2b spray and wax over it. After I had the more specific spikes down, I mussed it up a little more sporadically. Sadly, the wind often decides to mess it up further.

>What techniques or tricks helped in making your props
The base of the staff is PVC pipe with L connectors that I heated a bit so they would go a little beyond the 90 degree angle they started with. I then cut out a section in the base and inserted a battery pack for the EL wire. I covered the entire thing in loose masking tape and newspaper, crunching and twisting it as I went along, building up some areas to make it look knotted and gnarled. After about 2 rolls of tape, I started the painting process. Several different shades of brown, and then some white and silver paint added with a sponge. Then I drew in some frost "veins" with a silver paint pen. plugged in the EL wire and twisted it all around and finished. Sadly, the light does not often show up well in pictures, but in person, it looks really neat.

>>7364840
You really inspire me to make a mamimi cosplay, what brand of paint did you use?

>>7364881
why add under boob?
you didnt even pull it off

>>7364881
>implying this fanart is cute
>cosplaying fanart
Geez...

>>7364806
>>7364881
you didn't even make the shorts the right length and the waistband is wrong, and you didn't add the belt. if you're going to cosplay fanart at least do that accurately.

>>7364867
>>7364871
>>7364915
>>7364905
Can you all please go hate tenleid somewhere else and maybe talk about or post other cosplays?

Finished this past weekend!

>fabrics used
Expensive 4way stretch metallic gold spandex and an unknown type of 4way stretch lime spandex, plus black spandex for a secondary underleotard.

>wig styling
None. Old arda that has seen better days but I didn't have time to get a new one as most of the costume was made under a time crunch.

>techniques and tricks
I spent oodles of time tailoring my leotards so that my waist was clearly defined without corsetry. Then I wasted a bunch more time repatterning my boots/gloves in order to reduce seams, as metallic spandexs look awful with visible seams down the fronts.
Not a complex cosplay but I like simple, crisp and vibrant costumes.

(sorry for the collage, I'm on my mobile and it's what I've got saved)

>>7364924
She started it by posting shitty fanart cosplay which she didn't even make right.

>>7364806
Nice work, the vinyl looks really nice!

>>7364900
Beautiful work on your Jack Frost. It's nice to see people do this version instead of the ugly hoodie.

>>7364886
Wow Gargantia cosplay!!
Good job!!!

>>7364928
I know youve mentioned it before but that was pretty old (you did PG and Black Widow with a corset, right?), do you mind sharing some info about whats going under the unitard to look so smooth?

>>7364929
>She started it
No, you faggots did by whining about people slutting up your waifu, boo hoo

>>7364938
Thanks. I'd been meaning to cosplay Bellows forever but it took me so long to get around to it. I'm surprised I haven't seen any festival dance outfits aside from the Amy cosplayer who self posted here, those are really, really pretty.

>>7364928
Your legs are so short and stumpy, how tall are you?

>>7364842
I am always happy to see Guilty Gear cosplays and I love seeing alt colors so much. Your Ky looks awesome.

>>7364886
Thank you! And I had a discussion with tenleid the other day about it and she made it seem less scary. But I'm still scared of it. Also hot damn I like your costume, you look really cute. What's the character from?

>>7364900
Super awesome job on the staff. I love how you made it glow and it has a lot of character.

>>7364928
I'm forever jealous of your body. The emblem on your suit looks super clean and awesome too, damn. How did you attach it to the black piece?

>>7364868
Thank you!

>>7364903
I'm glad~ I used Jaquard fabric paint. I'd usually stand behind it but I actually had a lot of problems with it for this skirt. The paint started bleeding under the tape and after I let it set for 48 hours and heat pressed it red started to bleed when I started starching the skirt.

Katsumiyo had suggested So Soft fabric paint to me after I complained about it in a thread so that might be a better route to go. Good luck with your Mamimi!

>>7364928

>>7364948
Bellows from Gargantia. The show seemed to be a bit confused between slice of life and what I can only call 'Urobuchi anime' but it was decent, had pretty girls and a really cool robot.

>>7364928
That looks awesome! How did you manage to make everything so smooth and attach it to your gloves/boots? I'll be making something similar soon and would appreciate any tips.

>>7364946
I'm only 5'2ish but I think my legs look goofy here due to my bf was taking those phone pics and he is tall (and bad a photography) so everything was from a poor angle. Not that my legs are long or anything. Just, hopefully, not as stumpy as they appear here.

>>7364944
With my Phoenix and my latest version of PG I just used double layered spandex carefully tailored to my figure. I'm cartoonishly curved anyhow so the cinching I get from the spandex is enough to enhance those features.
When I did corset up, I layered the materials inorder to minimize the boning (bought a cheap undershirt from walmart an converted it into an underleotard back then [also helped to hide my black corser/bra under the white dance leotars]). It also helped that I wasn't ace at sewing yet and so nothing was tailored and the leotard fabrics wouldn't actually touch my waist (think of it like my ribs/underbust and hips formed a vertical stretchy fabric bridge over my waist, preventing the fabric from resting on my body/corset so no boning showed through.
....I don't know if that makes any sense. I get these questions on my cospage all the time and I keep meaning to put together an info dump with pics and diagrams but always get side tracked with life and other such nonsense.

>>7364948
Guuurl, I wish we went to the same cons: we could thigh crush the entire event with our combined powers. The black was done with iron on stabilize and then spliced into the green. I left the stabilizer in while I did the gold logo (wunderunder'd then straight stitched the edges) and the back zipper. I wish I'd discovered stabilizer years ago! Makes spandex so much easier.

>What fabrics you used
I used jersey for the skirt/gloves. And some non-stretch bargain bin for the white top [a mistake. I'm gonna remake with stretch if I have time] and same for the vest.

>How you styled your wig
It was an UtaPri wig that I bought, untied, and trimmed? It was super easy.

>What techniques/tricks for props
EVA foam. Lots and lots of eva foam. And way too much time.

>>7364973
you are not "cartoonishly curved" even with that cinching corset, just heavy set.

>>7364928
Fat

>>7364991
What a fantastically detailed and well realized post. You are quite the wordsmith! And such an amazingly well constructed analysis of her costume. Such a high quality post. Well done.

>>7364999
doesnt make it any less true

>>7365002
Doesn't make your post any less pointless.

>>7364991
>>7365002
Dumb

>>7364972
I made the boots/gloves separate and then pinned them to the suit as I was wearing it so that they've be taught when worn, which is important with spandex.I make sure to attatch the gloves to the sleeves before you attatch the sleeves to the full suit, or you're gonna have a bad time. I top stitched the gloves on and then splices the boots into the gold (probably a better term for that, idk, I just mean that the seams are inside and it looks like one solid piece). Both methods have their pros: gloves have a nicer shape but the topstitching looks a bit sloppy while the boot seam looks flawless but less pointy (though one could probably compensate for either issue, prettysure my problems where due to spacing out).

To anyone else with applique queries: search "crashcult (dot) blogspot applique" for some pretty wonderful explanations. That's were I picked up a lot of multifabric leotard magic.

>>7364984
Whatever you say, anon. I don't care if you believe me or not. People will assume I'm shooped and corset'd up and down no matter what I say so arguing is silly. Cosplayers gonna drama, etc.

>>7365009
Oh wow, I'm getting progressively less coherent. tl;dring on mobile is the worst possible thing. Especially at this hour.

>>7365010
>>7365004
>>7364999
you dropped your trip >>7364928

>>7364928
you have a smaller set of tits under your tits wtf

>>7365014
Pathetic

>>7365017
nvm just looked closer its just a fat roll popping out of your corset

>>7365014
No, I assure you, more than one person is capable of finding you to be a moron.

>>7364973
Then it's not the angle, your legs are just stumpy.

Holy shit where are all the assholes in this thread coming from? We have had several self post threads in the past without anywhere near this much shit-posting. What the fuck is with people tonight?

>>7364928
>>7365009
Your spandex boots are fantabulous and you look great. I'm working on some boots now and I feel motivated to make them better. Keep up the good work and don't let the haters get you down.

>>7365034
fat chicks bring out the worst of cgl
it's ED central here

>>7365035
She's not even that fat. That storm next to her is much bigger, and even she isn't that bad. There is much worse out there than this.
And even if she was a fucking planet, does it really warrant every fucking post to be about her? There are several other posts here. Talk about them for a fucking second.

>>7365035
I wouldn't say she's fat, just chubby.

>>7365014
Anon, I don't have time to detail threads with empty squabbles, did you miss those absurd walls of texts I was posting? That takes fuckin' eons on my phone.

Anyways, please don't argue on my behalf anyone. I hate ruining threads with the SO FAT vs NOT FAT shit so I rarely post anyway and I don't want this one to be ruined so early thanks to me.

Angry Anons, could you perhaps take your scorn elsewhere? I've dealt with this ilk for years and your shitposting in this thread isn't going to damage my self esteem or accomplish much besides derailment. I hear reddit is quite suitable for your supremely witty and concise post style, why don't you try over there?

>>7365043

>>7364869
Thank you! I do like how my wig turned out for Jounouchi. I just wish his outfits weren't so ....blah.

>>7364948
Thank you!

one of my fav costumes. used sequins and lame (i think?) for the tail, and liquid gold for the top. the wig is awful and i plan to redo it - i got it the night before the con and just wrapped some hairs around a wire to make the loops. i also had to hand paint all the beads because i couldnt find orange beads anywhere

I just finished this last night...it's for Katsucon this weekend...I'm a super beginner so I'm really happy with how it turned out. I'm Meryl Stryfe from Trigun.

Only thing that's missing is makeup which will make me look better of course

Ignore the mess, two people working in a frenzy the week of a con...you know how it is...

>>7365483
No boobs, not even kawaii or talented. Please stop.

Played around with make up last night for my upcoming Sakizou costume! And did bottom lashes for the first time lol

>>7365503
It looks good!

>>7365483
Oh my god, love. Love!

>>7365540
You're so lovely!

>>7365061
Ramona didn't show butt

>>7365540
Are you a man?

>>7365540
Great job on the wig. I thought it looked like sakizo's style of hair even before I read your text. Is the volume on the side a ponytail clip or did you sew on wefts?

fuck this board

>>7365536
>>7365035
>>7365017
>>7365022
>>7365024

If you are incapable of giving good critique you might want to go back to 9gag, stop whining over shit like fatness and boobs.

Nobody cares about your shit-posting here.

I kind of made both of the costumes so...

>What fabrics you used
Stretch cotton and fleece for Tiffa, pleather for Garrod. The jacket is fully lined in fleece too.
>How you styled your wig
For Tiffa, I cut and thinned the bangs, then I cut the sides. Then I made it into a low tail and ta-dah. Boring as it seems.
For Garrod, I cut all the back side ( it was quite longer ) and the sideways except for those weird sideburns? Then I styled the bangs with hairspray. I'm not really skilled at styling wigs but it wasn't hard anyways.

As for tecniques and tricks, none. Those were easy to make costumes.

>what fabrics you used

Mainly pleather of various kinds, a soft green cotton fabric and various kinds of leather for belts and boots and pants. Also Smooth-Cast 65D for the armor and a fuckton of zipperstops.

>how you styled your wig

It's actually my real hair - I cut off about 15cm when I first cosplayed as Loki, I was unhappy with my looks anyways, so no problem. I let it grow out though. Also, the hairline was fixed in Photoshop cause I simply didn't have the heart to shave mine - gotta stay sexy etc.

>what techniques or tricks helped in making your props

I made the armor with Smooth-On, as Corroder suggested to me. I'm really really thankful for that tip cause otherwise I might've used epoxy and that would've been all kinds of messy. The muzzle was made the same way and I also made the chains out of layered sintra.

>>7365667
>>7365625
Ah thanks so much! \(//∇//)\

And it's actually two wigs! I sewed it to the top in a bump (it's filled with plastic bags and folded in on itself) and then pulled up and to the side!

Finished Maya costume, since I'll be wearing it this weekend, I'll post it.

What is this from? I can't decide if I think boobhearts are cute or not.

>>7366602
I'm guessing this is in reply to the Maya above. It's from the Persona 2 games

>>7366602
>>7366685
Yup, Maya Amano from Persona 2

>>7365013
You look good, even if you were wearing a corset (which I assume you aren't based on your reply)...you have a shapely as fuck figure. Nothing wrong with it, and from a straight chick's POV I think you look great. I wouldn't mind having an awesome top half like that. I have no idea why anon is so douche monger-y today.

Mother Gothel from Tangled, first worn at ALA 2013.

I used a cheap poly brocade from Fabrics R Us (NorCal kids, you know what I'm talking about- 4 bucks a yard, yeeeaaah!), then splurged on the sleeve lining fabric- cotton/poly brocade. I mostly followed a pattern (can't remember offhand which one), that I altered slightly for sleeve length and neckline.

The wig wasn't really a challenge since it was essentially "open wig bag, put wig on head." Props-wise I had just a basket, but it was sure handy to have somewhere to put all of my shit.

The whole thing was very straightforward. It's not as well fitted as I would have liked, but that's my own fault for not being more careful. It's a ton of fun to wear because I've never cosplayed a villain before.

>>7366836
That wig is amazing. You look amazing

Koto!

>What fabrics you used

The shorts are stretch denim with a full zipper fly and everything else is cotton

>How you styled your wig

Took out of bag and sewed the ears on. The bangs are pulled to the center and held with some hairspray.

>>Any techniques?

The tail was the fun part, it's 3 inch pile fur and it stays on with a belt that slips through the darts in the back of the shorts. The butt tails hide the joining and since it's so big it just sort of wags as I walk. I also used colored contacts for the first time.

>>7364806
Vinyl? Only two-way stretch? Daaaang. I'm impressed.
>>7364840
The skirt and collar look so crisp and lovely! The wig's a great color on you, too.
>>7364842
Bias tape and I are not friends, so I'm impressed. How did you get the corners so sharp?
>>7364886
I love that wig and your top looks super cute. Also, your makeup is fab.
>>7364900
That staff looks great! It actually looks like a stick instead of a really obvious pvc pipe like so many Jacks have. I also like that you did this version of Jack instead of the hoodie.
>>7364928
Your tailoring makes me go HNNGHHHH. I love how perfect and clean everything is, especially that emblem. I'd love to see better quality pics of this!
>>7364982
Can I just take you home and keep you? Please?
>>7365483
I really like how that top looks- when you say liquid gold, do you mean metallic spandex, or is it something else? Also your tail is super cute.
>>7365503
OH MY GOD, MERYL. I've actually just been on a Maximum rereading binge, so this is A+ aces nostalgia for me. You look darling and I hope to see pics of this after Katsu.
>>7365540
That makeup looks lovely, very appropriate for Sakizou I think. How hard was it to do the bottom lashes?

My costume for scifi expo this recent weekend. Just a custom done costume. The corset, and skirt were bought, but all the little detail work I did. I made all of the belt pouches, gauntlet, ect ect ect.

>>7366914
>inb4 dat hair

I know, it's awful D|

>>7366914
Why would you post this nonsensical steeempawk outfit?

>>7365726
I quite like how the wigs came out, actually. Your tailoring is really nice, too, especially on the purple jacket.
>>7365739
Daaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyuuuuum. Everything looks great, especially that armor. Well done.
>>7366555
I really like the collar and the trim on the dangly bits. I find myself liking it despite the boobhearts- it's a cute design!
>>7366858
Thank you! I got it from a totally random ebay seller, I think.
>>7366878
Your ears and tail are so fuzzy! I just want to pet them.

>>7366936
Sorry I don't have all the western gear on in this one. I actually do have a character created, Just wasn't quite prepared with all of the western themed stuff.

>>7366947
It's okay, it's just a bit confusing. I was just curious.

>>7365061
Last time I checked Ramona didn't have her ass hanging out her shorts.
>cgl is filled with sluts. Where are the good female cosplayers?

>>7366949
>It's okay, it's j
Yeah, once it's finished, I'm going to add on a cowboy hat, gun harness, holster, canteen, ect.

I guess right now it does look pretty generic. Heh.

>>7365739
I'm so happy you've become a regular poster on cgl. You're gorgeous. And you do such great, clean work
>so happy to see a female seagull who isn't a slut

This is my latest costume that I would categorize closest to "finished"
by no means my best costume and I put it together in about a day

>fabrics
I bought 3 random curtains from goodwill that were the proper colors to make the jacket
bought the pants and took them in/painted them
cape - used old cotton muslin to make a cape then kind of tie-dyed it with a brown dye
>props
nerf gun sanded into oblivion
>other???
shoes - craft foam and worbla scraps painted over some cut up boots
arm armor - EVA foam that I heated/shaped and put craft foam decals on
texturing on arm/jacket - arm spots are worbla scraps made into scale things
fabric painted the top - my biggest regret
>wig
what wig
helmet is also made of heat formed EVA foam and plastic tubing

>>7366912
>>7364842 here. All of the bias tape corners are mitered, which makes it look a million times better imo.

>>7366555
Curious if you are going kazuma kaneko style LOADS OF EYELINER for the con

>>7366555
>Persona 2 cosplay
Mah nigga

>>7367031
>mitered corners

Ugh, they look so good but I'm so bad at making them at any angle outside of 90 degrees... super helpful tutorial though! Instant save.

>>7364928
Gurl, those proportions. Mmmm-mm. You could get it any day, so don't listen to the haters, as I see no reason to hate.

>>7367210
the best way to do this is to fold it along the outside of the fabric and make a mark where the fabric would need to overlap and sew it from there

>>7367031
Good for the tales of bias tape cosplays I'll make in the near future. Thank you.

>>7366555
Are you secretly Katie Willert?

>>7366989
That's really cool! I especially like the texturing on your boots and the arm piece. What's it from?

>>7367031
Oh man, I wish I'd had this tutorial when I was screaming and flailing my way through making Yukari from Touhou. Thank you for posting it!

>>7364900
You look eerily like my local pharmacist. Now I'm wondering if he has an alter ego.

>>7366941
Thanks! Her design is pretty redick haha

>>7367199
Gonna try for bottom lashes and see how well I do

>>7367793
I had to look her up. I could do worse.

>>7367210
>>7367424
>>7368547
No problem! I actually just did trial and error to figure out mitering a year or two ago, but this tutorial is super good, so I'm glad I could share it!

>>7367031
This is great. Fuck mitered corners!
Thank you!

Maybe I'll just self post for the first time I just---
what the fuck is going on in her--

nevermind, later seagulls

>>7369031
Yeah, this selfpost thread has been royally fucked.

>>7367031
That is SO HELPFUL. THANK YOU.

>>7365540
Ugh that wig is gorgeous. Makeup looks great!

My latest finished costume is a dark eldar wych, from warhammer 40k.

>fabrics used
Shitload of chiffon for the dress, satin coutil for the corset and leather over the top with lots and lots of spikes.

>wig stuff
Lacefront from some random on ebay that was incredibly cheap, but really good, and a 60" full wig converted into a clip on ponytail. I need to look into better ways to manage the weight of it, I was using toupee tape on the lacefront but it still came off and slipped back. So many photos with it falling off :/ I ended up shoving in about twenty bobby pins and that got me through the shoot, but yeah. Pain in the ass.

>armour stuff
Mostly worbla and wonderflex - I like using both for strength. Sintra for the thigh plates and bicep plating, and the flails are foam and worbla for the blades, attached to lengths of chain.

>>7369282
Have you tried spirit gum instead of tape for the lacefront? That would probably hold a bit better.

>>7366555
Only because you posted Persona so represent
My coat is pretty much done for this, and I just got my wig but have a makeup test while I find a serger to play with for the main suit. I'm glad this wig was the exact color I wanted.

>>7369307
I honestly don't think spirit gum would do squat - the hair is seriously heavy! I could try pros-aide, but the tape is actually pretty grippy; I've only ever had issues with it using this particular clip-on. I think I need an actual physical anchor, or something that grips through to my own hair better.

>>7369334
Wig combs are supposed to be awesome. Arda sells the in their accessory page, and you can get them other places. You just sew them on the hairline on the wig. They should do all the grunt work in holding the wig on, so all the tape does is paste the hairline down.

>>7366941
>>7366969
thanks you two :'3

also, I'm always a regular poster when exams are coming up /cough
and I usually disapear once I get involved into mad dramu (and I'm a slut too. a glorious bishi manslut)

My friend asked me to stand in front of a wall so he can check the settings on his camera.

How it turned out as a good photo, I don't know

The new movie starring Tom Hiddleston is out. Only Lovers Left Alive starring him and TIlda Swinton as two vampires in love. He's all all dark and brooding and and pretty and bishi.
Might be something you like going by your posts.

>>7372813
It's sweet thinking of me, Anon, however, I sorta am not so much of a Hiddleston-fan despite his impeccable acting skills and outside of his Loki character I do not have much of a wish to see him. I think that whole superdumb UNICEF project where this rich dude sat in his super expensive apartment and ate for 1£ a day grossed me out way too hard- he's like the Bono of acting. Pretentious charity fag... and I am super biased towards modern approaches towards the whole vampire deal that involve love stories for obvious reasons ;) Still might give it a try some day cause Tilda looks hella Rad in the stills

>>7365540
I love you

>>7365726
The Gerrod looks great!

>>7365726
The Garrod looks great!

Wanted to post my suit from the Halo series which I'm really proud of but this..This is my all time favorite photo taken of my girlfriend and I.

>think that whole superdumb UNICEF project where this rich dude sat in his super expensive apartment and ate for 1£ a day grossed me out way too hard- he's like the Bono of acting. Pretentious charity fag...

A ton of actors are huge philanthropists. Weird to target him of all people.

fabrics ; took a bra 2 sizes bigger then mine & used as a base- white cotton everywhere
wig ; epic cosplay wig with some trimming, curling & straightening
props (headpiece) ; completely took apart a couple necklaces & tinkered with them to make the earpieces+necklace, hand dyed the flowers.

it was pretty simple but really fun to make

>>7373053
In other actors it usually goes unnoticed with me cause I did not take interest in them in the first place (i'm usually super autistic about this whole personal cult stuff). I was kinda overwhelmed with his way of acting, micromimics and all and somehow stumbled over an interview and developed my first little actor-crush based on his intelligence and good taste. So when the whole UNICEF shit started it was like watching a great mind going to waste and kicked me instantly into grumpy cat mode and then there's the whole fangirls surrounding everything Hiddleston deal that scared me off even more and makes me uber-sceptical about everything involving him.

It's just that it gives me the creeps to see someone being praised for their goodness when the whole action in itself is extraordinarily thoughtless and horribly over the top and then all they tweet about is "UNICEF this, UNICEF that, I'm sure Shakespeare would have sucked humongous charity dick himself, bluhbluhbluh, not pretentious at all" when they actually should be able to see through the shallowness of it all.
And yes, I am indeed a bit butthurt about this. One could say I feel violated by large UNICEF dong barely slicked with Shakespeare's olde spit etc

>>7373115
did you pay a photog for this shot?

>>7364327
when did /cgl/ get all these attractive women?
wasn't this place filled with people like PT, spoony and eva braun just a few months ago?

>>7373115
which contacts did you wear?

>>7373175
Most of the unattractive cosplayers are in the shitty cosplay threads. The actual regulars of /cgl/ are mostly pretty girls and cute guys.

>>7373185
they re either vassen jewel pinks or vassen ifairy super crystal

>>7373166
no i didn't i borrowed my bf s mom s camera & used a reflector i got off ebay for like 7 bux, minor photoediting but it was mostly for removing blemishes.

>>7373201
where are you located? mind if i take some pictures of your next cosplay for a portfolio?

Material stuff aside, I got this Eowyn from Arda for fatMiyabi from Persona 2.

Things I learned: Thinning shears are helpful. Mine broke and at first I thought 'I can totally do this without them'. I went and bought a new pair about ten minutes in.

>>7364900
Really nice Jack frost!! I love how you did the staff too. Hardly any Jacks make it look that good.
>>7364982
You are really cute!
>>7365540
Good job on the makeup! And the wig is really really nice.
>>7365739
Wow! Your costume looks really great and a lot like the original. Nice job.

>>7373115
girl you cute, but you need to work on your eye make up. That wing ain't doing anything.

Thirding.

WIP of my Bubblehead Nurse.

Debuted at Katsucon this weekend. I'm planning on fixing up the gauze a bit, and getting a whole new dress in the future.

Probably new shoes as well.

And tights.

How do you guys think my Yu Narukami turned out?

>>7373218
You'd make a good satskui

>>7377082

You are a qt, glad your shit arrived in time.
We should date.

Let's date.

>>7377082
HEY BRO. Didn't know you came here. HIII

First picture I found of us. I'm on the right as Creamy Mami

>>7377321
Hey! Yeah I started coming here like a month prior to Katsu and that's how I heard about the meetup. I can't remember who it was but they convinced me to trip so here I am!

I really like that wig. Where'd you get it?

>>7377321
**Sans is the Magical Emi. Whoops

So I had this concept of modifying a dark blue blazer I have and sorta making it into a senketsu then just wearing a white t-shirt and a red tie under, some dark blue pants and probably make a half scissor sword or something

I thought it'd be neat cosplaying as a guy ryuuko
but I dunno
>completely irrelevant post

>>7377082
Holy crap...that's actually really good. Were you the guy posting in the help thread a few weeks ago? If so, job well done man. Didn't you say that was your first cosplay?

khal drogo makeup.

>>7377426
Fuckin nice

My ema I wore at Katsu, I totally forgot her ankle ribbons, rip.

It's all basic cotton, kona for the vest and neck tie and white twill for her lab coat. the atrocious floppy bag is duck canvas. wig is straight out of the bag, I just had to trim the ponytail and tease it a little!

This is from 2013, but still technically my latest cosplay, because I only make a couple every year, and I'm not done with any of 2014's yet.

Materials are matte cotton-lycra blend, polarfleece (for vest backing), kona and symphony cotton, twill (for boots), etc.

Wig is from Cosplay.com, and took pretty minimal styling (just blow-dried to get her "flip" in the front.

This was the second Senshi I did (I made my friend's Neptune first) so I had the process down pretty well working on mine. Had to lengthen the leotard to fit my long torso, but overall it was surprisingly simple.

Improvements for next year include a new butt bow that doesn't collapse, more snaps to keep things where they belong, and I'm working on her Space Sword.

>>7377426
god ur beautiful man.. keep up the good work keeping the fatties in their place

haha niiice. If you can't get compliments from other anons, compliment yourself. Super see through technique though

>>7377510
I've never bought a wig from Arda - all my lacefronts are from ebay. Wigs for drag or for regular wear are the shit, really nice quality.

This is the wig - I think. http://www.ebay.com/itm/HAND-TIED-Synthetic-Hair-LACE-FRONT-FULL-WIGS-LONG-GLUELESS-OFF-BLACK-16-1B-/170961656086?pt=US_CSA_MWA_Wigs_Extensions&hash=item27ce1bd916

Just got first Punie shot back from Katsucon. Overjacket is white cotton sateen, pattern drafted entirely from scratch (this is my 3rd attempt), dress is red ponte knit with a wimpy petticoat for the shape. So excited to finally cosplay my queen.

>>7364928

>>7378564
You were posting in the progress threads right? It turned out great!

>>7378633
yeah, that's me!! Thanks a bunch!

>>7365061
Ugh this is so tacky, even if your ass wasn't hanging out that wig is fucking awful

>>7378564
Oh wow, you did an amazing job! You should post more when you are able to

Me and a fellow 501st'er at Kami-con. I'd be the one on the left. He had a pretty sweet set of Judge armor he wore part of the day as well.

I learned that wearing my Biker Scout for eight hours hurts the next morning.

>>7365061
this is worse than jnigs ramona flowers

myself as Gintoki


Gintama fans have always been nice even if few and far between at the cons i go to.

>>7379406
You're a super qt, but I wish you would of shaved and done a bit of make up

>>7379418
lol thanks....

>>7379418
I find that there are very few unattractive male regulars on this board. They are either hot fit guys without being /fit/ douchbags, or are cute boyish looking guys.

>>7364327
Just got a preview shot back from Katsucon so here we go!

>What fabrics you used
Upholstery vinyl, vinyl ribbon, and cotton for the waist cincher, knit for the dress, 4 way printed and metallic spandex for the boot covers (which you can't see in this photo)

>How you styled your wig
It's a short wig from Epic Cosplay that I trimmed the bangs with some shears and a razor, then wore a headband underneath with wire to add the spikes (which were just foam with wefts glued to them).

>Techniques or tricks
I used a combination of worbla, craft foam, thicker eva foam, and styrofoam to make all of the armor. The sword was made from insulation foam and pvc pipe, with worbla for the details on the hilt. The big glove is just a hockey glove that I cut off some excess fabric/foam and made a cover for. Googly eyes also worked well as rivets on the glove.

>>7379720
>Googly eyes also worked well as rivets on the glove.

Brilliant.

Here are two Cecil cosplays from Night Vale, I'm not sure which one do I like best. The eye obviously needs improvement, I might also add paterns on my arms on the more simple one.

>>7380060
really wish people would use their own imaginations to make up what WTNV characters look like (since that's the whole point of not having descriptions during the podcast) instead of just running with the first popular fanart that was ever produced

let me guess, you're going to add PURPLE TENTACLES to your arms?1 huuurrrrr

>>7380060
this is embarrassing and you shouldn't have posted this.

>>7380073
But if you do that, nobody is going to know who the fuck you are.

Did you even think about that at all before you posted it?

>>7380080
People shouldn't even fucking cosplay characters that don't have a description. All these cecil and carlos cosplays are halfassed and embarrassing as fuck.

>>7380060
You should go back to tumblr.

>>7380080
Did you ever think the point of the show may be that each person has their own idea of the characters and, gasp, cosplaying characters without descriptions from a podcast is fucking stupid?

>>7380073
You could but I prefer the community "canon" that is established, and as the other said it also prevents others from recognizing you.

>>7380079
Any specific point you want to add? I'm welcome to criticism, it's my first cosplay but I'd prefer something more.. constructive.

>>7380101
There is no constructive criticism to give. Cecil is a closet cosplay. What do you expect to improve on? A better purple shirt? Everything is incredibly basic.

>>7366912
>>7373217
Buhh you guys are too kind.

Potato I love your Gothel and I like to tell you every chance I get!

>>7379720
Nice Riven! I love the weathering on the pauldron~

>>7379406
Cool! Gintoki's hair is a teeny bit more spiky/feathery when it comes to styling and Gintoki's not Gintoki without his sword but pretty good. I'd have no troubles recognizing who you're cosplaying at a con.

>>7379374
Awesome armor. Your friend did some pretty sweet weathering/scuffing to theirs!

>>7378564
Yesss I love when people emote/pose to suit the character. And the shape of that dress is fabulous.

>>7380106
Get more creative, paterns on the arms as I said, different make-up, change the clothes but keep the palette, for recognition at least.

What's so embarassing about it then?

>>7380101
how about this instead of blindly following tumblr's hardon. Take the ONE outfit that is described in the show and make it. And try and use your brain and do something different with the stupid makeup. Don't do the third eye, don't do the tattoos (funny, the only reason people even started this is because the actual voiceactor has similar tattoos on his chest, huurrrr so creative!) but maybe, if you're just so damn concerned with getting attention to validate your interests, make a tentacle pendant clutching a third eye and wear it. Carry an old style micro phone and wear a headset, then whenever you see an opportunity to sit down or are next to a flat surface for pictures, put the microphone down and pretend like you're opening the show.

You don't even fucking deserve that much from me and I feel ashamed I cared enough to type it all out.

>>7380132
Thanks for the input then if I'm so not worthy of it, although I must admit that I still don't see what's wrong with taking a community established idea if you like it.

>>7380157
there's nothing wrong with liking the design, the beef I have is that the whole idea behind the characters was that specifically they did not describe them so that each individual listener could come up with their own ideas. I love this idea, it promotes creativity and imagination and basically each character belongs to You.

But nope, tumblr decided to take

>he is neither tall nor short, he is neither fat nor thin

and turn it into a tall thin attractive guy with white hair and tattoos all over himself, tattoos that the actual voice actor has.

Which is basically a huge bitch slap into the entire idea of the characters and hampers people coming up with their own ideas because if you post something that doesn't fit in with the 'canon fanart' (what an oxymoron) you are berated and abused.

it's just a cop out that is undermining a great idea and irritates me. It also irritates me that people want to run around a con dressed as characters from a show with no description so they can be 'recognized' as if they need an asspat from people. Because, like you said, 'no one will recognize me!' so yeah, it is about attention for you, it's not just about the show.

... and I don't even like the fucking show, I just love the ideas fostered by the presentation, so I support it.

>mfw I'm going to the live show in my state next month and I'm going to have to be surrounded by white haired, third eye painted on their faces, douchenozzles gaying out in public with their 'carlos' counter parts

>>7380240
It's a good point of view, I hadn't seen it that way but I still prefer the Cecil the fans have "agreed" on. After a while whenever a group of people is together there will be a sense of unity and there can't be individuality forever and that's also what happened to Cecil, he could have been anything but people chose to imagine him as one thing rather than another. So why go purposefully against the grain, he (the current representation at least) clearly isn't your cup of tea so I get that you'd want something else from the character but if you're perfectly satisfied with how he currently is represented then again I don't see what's wrong.

And even though the creator may have had one intent in creating Cecil or any character that way the execution lead to the current Cecil, we don't naturally go searching for a deeper meaning in things, it's something we are trained to do and it's the same with Cecil, most people (myself included) didn't go deep into the character and simply took what struck them the most.

Lastly I did say that cosplaying otherwise would make the character unrecognizable but that doesn't mean it's for attention. If you're cosplaying as an original or new Cecil it's less easy to "gather around" with other people who also enjoy Night Vale, in this case, since you'll have to re-explain your ideas behind that representation of Cecil while most people would discard it since it doesn't fit the "standard" one.

>>7380320
You seem to have missed the point pretty much entirely.

>simply took what struck them the most.
it seems more like the fanbase just took the actual characteristics of the VAs rather than being imaginative.

It's like you people don't know how to read books or something.

>>7379374
>>7380115
Appreciated! He said he used model train paints for the weathering. I particularly liked the "scar" over one eye-lens.

>>7380320
>didn't go deep into the character and simply took what struck them the most.

sorry but there is nothing 'deep' about using your imagination when that's what you're supposed to do? And... 'simply took what struck them the most.'? You mean literally how the only description is 'neither short nor tall, neither thin nor fat'? Sorry that's kind of funny to me.

There's nothing soul searching or 'deep' about what I said or what the creator has said behind not describing the characters to give the listeners the ability to imagine them in their own way. If you mean it's deep to use your imagination instead of going with the most popular fan-art... ok, lol.

>since you'll have to re-explain your ideas behind that representation of Cecil while most people would discard it since it doesn't fit the "standard" one.

Yeah see, why would you want to hang around people who do that?

Of course, these are the same people who only care that that's a gay couple in the show, which is hilarious to me

>Gay people are just people! Treat them like people! They shouldn't be a focal point or a 'unique' part of a story, they are just like any other couple!
>OMG GAYS ON A PODCAST OMG OMGOMGGG THEY ARE GAAAAAAAAYYYYYY I LOVE THEM GAAAAAAAAYYY

Anyway, I guess you kind of got the gist of what I was saying, but at the same time I think you missed it. It's fine, I've given you the ideas I had, hopefully you roll with the date outfit and the microphone and headset and can stand out a little, since that's what you want.

>>7380365
Deep perhaps wasn't the best word but you got the point of it, if you want to show something that hasn't been described or that isn't developped physically you're going to either go with what the fans have etasblished or try and extract from what you feel from the character. And then we get to that

>why would you want to hang around people who do that?
Because I am one of them probably, or at least don't dislike their company.

>Anyway, I guess you kind of got the gist of what I was saying, but at the same time I think you missed it.
No I have gotten it, good perspective but I simply don't agree fully with it. I think it's best here to side with the fans rather than the creator, it's all.

>>7380413
>I think it's best here to side with the fans rather than the creator, it's all.

lol?????

>>7380240
Naka Kon, the legend of suffering?
Seriously, it's been littered with tumblrites these past years.

>>7373115
howd you do your eyebrows?

>>7380093
>>7380088

I don't even listen to the stupid shit, I think it's fucking retarded to cosplay characters with no actual set look as well, but at the very least if you cosplay the most popular fanart image of the character you'll be recognisable, instead of just being that asshole who's "cosplaying" as some mystery character that nobody fucking knows.

>>7377082
>Yu Narukami

Your face does not suit the character at all.

>>7379406

Shave. You need a new wig that is a little curlier and the right color. Last, you've got serious light bleeding going on in the bottom of the costume, I would line it with something.

Props for repping Gintama though

Interrupting the Night vale drama to post my most recent costume from katsucon this past weekend.
Wish my face wasn't so derpy in this shot but oh well. I think it shows my legs the best. Lots of details missing but, yet again, I messed around until I was so overwhelmed with finishing the important parts I didn't have time for all the Sakizou level details.
>fabric
I think it was a black gabardine? I bought it years ago for a Yuuko Ichihara cosplay I never finished. Plus some cheap Halloween fabric for the spider web bits
>wig
Two wigs hacked to pieces and glued to a wire and paper mâché structure. It got really heavy so I'll have to fix that before the next time I wear it.
>props
The biggest trouble was making it lightweight. Even with every corner I cut, the two back legs ended up being so heavy that they wouldn't stay in the harness at the right angle.

I'll have better pictures after this Saturday (Going to be attending Mini A-kon with my Host Club), but I finally got some really cute circle lenses for my Renge Houshakuji cosplay, so I took a quick selfie in the wig and bow.

>>7377503

Full furry kawaii pants would be ugly but it could be nice with animal legs.

>>7381618
? 'Furry pants' are an actual outfit description in the show

>>7381618
????

>>7381626
I didn't know, I was just saying putting something less human would be nice on the character since everything else seems out of the ordinary in the show.

Katsucon was Macrosscon for me. Sheryl Nome's star date outfit was the most comfortable thing I've probably ever worn for cosplay. Just some 4-way stretch jersey and a spare hour.

>>7381408
Thank you, I think? However, you'll have to convince my husband that you're worthy of a three-way marriage.

>>7381043
okay I'm not who you replied to but ugggh I had no clue this was going to be at my local con, I am saddened because NV weebs are gonna be loud as hell with this I'm sure

also there's a thunderstorm coming, locals, stay safe and all that

>>7381826
You're a pretty cute sheryl but your photographer needs to work on his lighitng skills

ITT: 4/10s

I did this a while ago in Dallas. It's nothing too special, just a partially modified closet cosplay with some random props added in. The net was the most expensive component, but I already had it beforehand, seeing as my hobby is bug catching.

>>7382049

Also, I'm about 6'10 and weigh 325 ponds, what other cosplays would you guys recommend to me? Not sure if I wanna hit the gym, I have a bad back.

>>7379720
I was on an elevator with you at some point!
>Googly eyes also worked well as rivets
I will be borrowing this idea.

it's just a gym. A good diet as well.

Kumon Kaito from Kamen Rider Gaim that I wore at Katsu. Was my first costume that I made from scratch myself and I think it turned out pretty good.

Next time though I'll probably do something with my hair or use a wig. That and get more sleep since in every picture I'm in I look super tired orz

Hey kids~ I tend not to usually ever come in here but this seems kind of like a fun thread, and I'm a big sucker for seeing what people have used for their cosplays (and extra bonus if it's something I've never heard of before).

Katsucon 2014 I nervously/excitedly got to debut my Fiora cosplay from League of Legends~
SOMANYNEWTHINGS

-first time using worbla and insulation foam
-first time using earth magnets
-first time sewing wefts/bangs into a wig
-first time making a prop (in a day and a half, 0/10 would never recommend)

Clothing is made of vinyl (not upholstery) and satin (which made me cringe at first but I had to get over it for the look it required).
Definitely had to purchase Kamui's armor making tutorial to help give me an idea of how to go about this project, as I've never made so much armor before-- let alone with a new material.

If you guys have any questions about how I went about anything, feel free to ask~!

>>7381050
start with a glue stick, literally an elmers glue stick, cover up your whole brow but make sure that it doesn t get tacky/gummy- try to keep the stick as flat as you can on the brow i usually do 3-5 swipes. color in the whole brow with white eyeliner- make it as white as possible, take eyeshadow with an angle brush and just put as much pigment as you can in there-

i m usually really messy about it so have wipes with me to clean up- the shadow is usually messy.

also it s really important that your brows are waxed/clean.

>>7382120
That's your fault then isn't it.

>>7377357
>implying Ryuuko is not a delinquent and wouldn't be walking around with her suit jacket unbuttoned and her shirt untucked and her tie loosely done
I'm all for fan designs but don't ignore the base character dude. Suit stuff only works if you're in a group, otherwise it looks kind of lazy.

Okay so I want to one of the clown gang members from Akira but I just cant find the boots that would go for it. Right now I have the helmet finished. This is an older pic of the helmet I have touched it up a tad since this pic.

>>7366989
from the thumb I thought you were a weird Robocop rocking out on a guitar.

>>7381184
Were you the one who came here a while ago asking about the spider legs and whether you should include them all for design purposes?

>>7380115
Thank you!

>>7382087
I don't know why, but this makes me really happy. It's fun to think I was on the elevator with a fellow seagull without even knowing it. Hope you had a good time, anon!

>>7380413
God, this is why I hate the WTNV fandom, even though I love the podcast.

>>7383668
Yes. I ended up making the ones in the front into fang-type things.
There was actually another Arachne at katsucon too. I was surprised. Hers looked so nice.

>>7383877
I had a great time! I would of said something but I always feel weird about talking on full elevators.

>>7378868
>>7378564
here's another one from the shoot! Half of the photos are super kawaii uguuu and half of them are murderous/aggressive, as it should be. Yay Punie-chan!!

So this isn't the super newest cosplay, but it's the last complete one that I made, and now that I'm back to cosplaying I feel like I can share it.

>fabrics you used
I used a lot of jersey knit, cotton, lace and resin gems that I cast.
>how you styled your wigs
I used 2 wigs, a Jeannie and a Willow from arda, and made my own ponytail clip with the Willow to get more bulk than the Jeannie normally has.
>what techniques or tricks
Nothing special really. This is actually one of my more relaxing costumes, but I think it came together ok! :)

Valle, what is your name? You look like you should be named Jordan.

>>7384756
>Jordan
.....um. Alright.

But sorry anon, that is one thing I do not give away. Like ever.

>>7384767
Okay! That's understandable.
It just definitely looked like it should be Jordan to me for whatever reason. Thanks anyways.

>>7384736
Says the person who didn't post themselves.

Little Bitch.

Wow, thanks! I'm really quite pleased with how the staff turned out, myself. It really didn't look like much at all until the very end, so it was a bit worrisome for a bit while making it. As you can see from the start of the painting process, it really just looked like a bunch of tape on a pipe.
I'm glad so many people like it though!

>>7375359
The shoes and tights are really good! I like the shading around the knees. I can tell you actually looked at the design as opposed to most who just kind of invent parts of the design. Are you able to sew? It'd look so nice with a hand made dress, I haven't seen a bought one that really did the trick.

>>7367031

This is wrong, you do NOT top stitch bias tape...might as well just use ribbon at that point.

>>7385122
Ideally, yes, you would want to slipstitch bias tape, but I have seen some nice top stitching on bias tape that really helped to accent it.

>>7385128
Also if you match your thread perfectly and use teeny stitches close to the edge, it's not that noticeable.

>>7384409
Another seagull who watched the 8 (I think there were 8?) glorious episodes of Dai Mahou Touge?
Bless your soul, anon!

>>7384736
I would love to hear the methodology behind this list. It is all over the god damn place.

>>7384736
I'm >>7377300, this isn't even a cosplay.
Just me trying on a wig lol, hence "unrelated"

>>7386290
I did the same thing and you still quoted me.
Get the fuck out.

>>7386464
Not you sorry that was ambiguous I mean the idiot

>>7385846
you have excellent taste, sir or madam!

(also if you haven't seen the 4 ultra-short omake, they are worth it)

>>7385122
I posted it to show how to miter corners, not necessarily to show how to attach bias tape properly. But yes, you are correct.

>>7386290
>>7386464
>isn't even cosplay
Then maybe you guys should be the ones to get the fuck out. Soc is probably more fitting your talentless attention whoring

>>7384656
>dem lips

>>7386586
Wow anon, you're sure sandy.
One of the girls wasn't even attention whoring; she just showed her face to some anon, she didn't boast about how cute or totally amazing she was and even politely saged.
No idea who the other anon is though, although pretty sure it's >>7365540. She's just posting a makeup test, and I don't see anything wrong with it. (Although >>7386464 seems butthurt as hell, OP ain't gonna look through every single picture to triple check that it's not cosplay).
Honestly why the fuck do you care so much, it's not a big deal. 4/10 made me post.

>>7386737
That wasn't OP though just someone who decided to throw shade. Not buttmad, just don't wanna deal with that crap, sorry if I sounded annoyed.

>>7383877
I like this a loooOOOoOt
Sylvanas cosplay
Craft foam,resin, satin ,faux leather...second armor cosplay

>>7386737
Could you be any more buttmad?
Just accept you got called out and move on
>inb4 but that totes wasn't me!!!!

Not sure if this is the right thread, but I was wondering if I could pull of cosplaying as Kiritsugu Emiya

>>7388124
you look like a brony

>>7388138
rude, I'm not. I just took that pic after staying up all night and not showering.

>>7388124
Not the right thread but you probably could, as long as you're not like the 90% of male cosplayers who pretend they don't need a wig or makeup and then run around looking like shit.

>>7388139
confirmed for brony

>>7388162
someone can be a brony without even watching the show, wow. It's really easy to talk shit about someone's appearance when you don't post your own.

>>7388171
yes they can
like you
with your greasy hair and neck puberty beard

>>7388124
take a fucking shower and try posting in the right thread.

>>7388226
ok, sorry. I'm not used to /cgl/

>>7388233
>I'm not used to hygiene
FTFY

>>7388262
it's the only face pic I have and I took it after getting back from a camping trip the POINT of the pic was to show how disheveled I looked. I already apologized, what do you want from me?

>>7388272
more fedora pics

>>7388277
you're obviously upset about something, so I'm sorry I hurt your feelings by posting in the wrong thread, but I think it's time for you to let it go.

>>7388284
I think it's time for you to stop bragging about how gross you are

>>7388272
Kerry looks like a bit of a hobo but he looks attractive while doing so. Even Kariya looks better than you do in your photo.

>>7384736

Yeah, I'm planning on doing something much better once I can afford materials. People seemed to really enjoy the costume, though.

>>7388319
well assuming I actually had a chance to shower and shave the stubble, how do you think?
