/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Nope.
They're fine.
Just don't bring up Homestuck

>>7490428
What makes you think that? What about Homestuck? They hate it or some shit?

>>7490434
No, /cgl/ hates Homestuck, numbnuts.

>>7490440
Why? Again, what makes you think they're ok?

>>7490448
Different anon.
What makes you think they're bad in the cosplay community?

>>7490451
Have you seen my picture or this one? What is the purpose of cosplay if not beauty. Add that on top of one of the most brain-dead communities and you've got a shitfest anywhere any time. Now answer my question.

>>7490451
I believe that was his whole point in asking. Basically "Are they all around terrible people, or just terrible people as gamers?"

>>7490466
It's funny because this one is accurate to her old art/current in-game model.

>>7490466
Have you seen this picture?
There are plenty of good and bad cosplays of LoL. That's goes for every video game or anime out there.
>Add that on top of one of the most brain-dead communities and you've got a shitfest anywhere any time.
Still. Goes for every other anime/vidya game fandom out there.

>>7490498
>That's
God damnit.
*That

>>7490466
because people have fun.

some people like to take their cosplays to a professional level, stay super fit and make cosplaying at various cons their lives.

others are attending a con and want to partake in the fun of dressing up and doing it themselves.


I know a lot of people will bitch about how their cosplay or clothing isnt a halloween costume, but really thats all it is. and the most fun about halloween is getting in costume and having fun amongst all the others that did the same.

>>7490466
Because unlike homostuck their cosplays actually require effort

>>7490498
I've never been impressed with this. It's showy and clearly has a lot of effort put into it, but it's just not very fiddlesticks. Too many rounded edges where they should be jagged, no pointy fingers, material for the straw makes him look soft and fluffy. Random fucking boquete of flowers on each foot.

>>7490517
Dis nigga on $300 stilts yo

>>7490517
It's a great job for what he was trying to accomplish, and the flowers are there mainly to cover up his feet on those stilts.

Also, I don't think walking around with jagged pointy body parts in a con full of people would go over well with event staff. Those motherfuckers get mad at you for having kind of pointy weapons, you think they want some 8 foot monster walking around stabbing people?

>>7490498
Holy shit, that's incredible

>>7490498
Dungeons and Dragons doesn't. DoTA wouldn't if it wasn't for LoL finger dippers/pretend fans. Before Skyrim Elder Scrolls was fine. Just saying everyone shoots themselves in the head dosen't make it good or true. I'd sincerely say that you should try playing games that aren't wallet rapers before you make assumptions like that.

>>7490502
You don't need to be super fucking buff i'd say. But wearing clothes that show you off when there's so much of you should be a crime against humanity. Beauty isn't in the eye of the beholder when all you can see is that shit, no room for it.

>>7490517
>Random fucking boquete of flowers on each foot.
Fiddlesdicks?

>>7490540
Sure it looks nice but why the fuck did he have to buy a 300$ pair of gimp legs instead of just making wooden ones? Also fuck event staff or whatever. If nobody was pussy enough to listen you'd be able to bring cool shit in. otherwise they wouldn't sell tickets. Conformity is the road to hell especially when it comes to art.

>>7490550
You just seem to take it more seriously than probably the other people who are wearing the costumes. Yeah so someone fat wants to cosplay someone, thats cool for them. Maybe they put in more effort than the regular cosplayer. maybe not. Same could be said for skinny ugly people.

But maybe they don't give a shit and just find dressing up like their favorite character to be more fun than worrying about what some other nerd is going to think about them. Conventions are generally an accepting place of nerds of all kinds and usually a fun time.

>>7490558
Last things first. Real nerds tend to be anti-social in 100% of cases. None of you kids know what being a nerd is like anymore.

That out of the way, I like the beauty in this world. I actually love it. Having a healthy body weight is beautiful.

Have you ever walked down the street and been harassed by a pack of niggers or spics? The ones that yell and say ese before everything? It's the same concept. They try to destroy my peace of mind, before I call them disrespectful niggers/spics and beat their ass, fat cosplayers in skinny roles destroy my sight of beauty in the same way.

Even more importantly. Would you say that a friend or someone who feels compassion towards another would allow them to self destruct or show them the alternatives and support their change should they choose to? Why would you accept the self destructive into anything because inevitably their neurosis will destroy that thing e.g. those pictures.

There isn't anything inherently wrong with what these cows do. It's just that they aren't willing to admit they're doing something stupid and if acceptance is offered to a person like that they abuse it and use it as emotional crutch to sink further into depravity. Really the best thing would be to inform them.

In short, maybe they should take it more seriously because mindless behavior is spitting in the face of whatever consciousness came from and reduces humans to consumer cattle.

>>7490550
Hi. I know the Fiddlesticks personally. He can jump on the stilts. Look for videos of him. It's pretty cool. He does it professionally at disneyland and hollywood studios as face characters and stuff.

This is now a LoL cosplay thread.

I'm pissed off because I feel like this >>7492598
is getting more noticed than this >>7492595
and that's really unfair.

>>7492619
because this >>7492598 has boobs

cosplay is about attention
you get attention with boobs
boobs win

>>7492619
who gives a fuck?

>>7492619
here is her website:
http://whiterabbitcostuming.com

I'll post some more of her costumes.

>>7492650

>>7492657

>>7492650
amaaaazing

wonder how it looked moving. i would have went for those fetish ballerina heels instead

>>7492658

>>7492647
Yeah, although her cosplays are awesome she lacks the boobage for attention unlike nigri.

back to nigri?

>>7492686
I like her in this. I find it to be her best cosplay tbh.

Maybe its just because im so tired of seeing her almost naked all the time so it's refreshing to see her in something covered up and cute

>>7492761
i am crazy about this Kayle. Seriously, someoe have finally made this skin justice.

>>7493891
it is Shappi.
ure welcome.

How to cosplay Thresh as a stout 4'11 girl pls

>mfw OP is a butthurt Dota player who can't handle people having fun with a game or costume they like, even if it's not perfect

Maybe it's just me, but most League players I know don't hate dota, while every dota player I've met seems to think that LoL is the scum of the earth. Lighten up nigga.

So far, >>7490498 >>7492741 and >>7493914 really impressed me. It's just nice to see some league cosplay once in a while :D

>>7494401
It's like Dota players are Sweden and League players are Finland.

>>7494401
ive played both.

i've dropped league and now play dota, but still tolerate both.

>>7494401
there's some SERIOUSLY bad blood towards riot games from dota players for a reason.

one of the reasons was that the main forum for dota players being shut down and replaced by a LoL Advertisement after one of the admins was hired by riot

some of the suggestions for new heroes on that forum later were added to league.

(personally i play dota because its the one i tried first and the way riot does balance is FUCKING DUMB in my opinion and leads to the lack of a real player driven metagame)

Dota players just can't get over the fact LoL is more popular. They're kinda moba hipsters like that.

>>7494454
While it's true that Dota doesn't need so much constant rebalancing it's only because every Dota character has the potential to be OP while most LoL champs can only fit a few different roles in a team. I don't particularly mind because it does keep things interesting. At first I hated the support changes but now I love them.

>>7494464
It's more popular because it's easier. I just laigh when I read LoL players saying somehting like 'WOWOWOW X CHARACTER'S SILENCE IS SO OP, LIKE 3 SECONDS!!!!!! '.


Anywaaaaaaaays. I don't like LoL cosplays because most of them are made by GAMER GURRRRLS that only make the most sluttiest costumes for attention. Besides, most LoL characters are sexualized as fuck.

>>7494464
are you just stupid or can you actually not read? Its stated why they hate lol

>>7494578
>most LoL characters are sexualized as fuck.
The weirdest thing about this is one of the riot staff who helps design is a self claimed feminist

>>7494578
I wouldn't call it easier in general, but maybe easier to learn?

I tried playing both when a friend of mine kept bugging me to play. I was more attracted to LoL in the end because it didn't require 10 years of studying to grasp basic mechanics.

Another reason was the art direction. Dota2 is just too muddy overall. The general styling of the game was really lackluster and kind of bored me to tears. LoL is definitely more flashy which makes things more interesting to play and watch from a viewer perspective.

also generalizing any girl that cosplays as a "gamer gurl" just kind of makes you sound dumb. I know plenty of girls who actually play the game and cosplay as well. I can see your point with people like Jnig but thats about it..

>>7494578
>I don't like LoL cosplays because most of them are made by GAMER GURRRRLS that only make the most sluttiest costumes for attention. Besides, most LoL characters are sexualized as fuck.
>Besides, most LoL characters are sexualized as fuck.

I'm getting the impression that female cosplayers who like LoL don't exactly have a lot of options on this front... blame the designers?

>>7494595
Feminist has come to mean many different things, and some of those things are so opposite from each other that it's actually funny

>>7492649
well its just the fact that far more craftsmanship went into the orianna cosplay but yet jnig's green bra with a fur trim+hat w/ ears gets way more recognition while almost no one's seen the orianna. it kind of just goes to show how overrated jnig is. She's settled down now and actually made some real cosplays but still.

>>7494692
I said, MOST of the girls,

>>7494578
one of the guys at riot once complained about BLOODSEEKER being overpowered.(OH GOD HE HAS A SKILL THAT GIVES A 6 SECOND SILENCE FOR ONE SKILL POINT AND I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW HIS ULT WORKS EVEN THOUGH IT MAKES BLOOD SPRAY OUT OF MY HERO WHEN I MOVE)

he's a pub-stomp hero who rarely gets used by pros.
his fucking counter costs 135 gold.
its a goddamn TP scroll.

>>7496292
I knowwww. It's just practice, just know what items use to counter the other hero and that's it.

Even Doom is not that bad.

LoL cosplays are actually pretty good.
This is likely attributed to the variety of fun character designs and costumes and the massive female player base (the overlap between cosplays and female LoL players is probably higher than most other games).
It could be a blight on the community if you are adamant about "omg poser girls don't know the lore and are cosplaying for attention" but honestly that isn't applicable to LoL, the game is incredibly casual and has the depth of a paper bag full of poor balance, money grubbing cosmetics, and lore that looks so much like bad fanfiction that I could rewrite it in its entirety in a week and improve it several times over.
But I wouldn't say it is a blight on the cosplay community, if anything it has introduced people to cosplay with easily recognizable designs that they could learn a lot from making.

Plus (comparatively) it is probably the largest blight the PC gaming community has ever known and is almost single-handedly killing eSports.

>>7494595
probably a load of bullpoo but i've been told that most of LoLs female characters are titty monsters because its easier to tell that they are in fact women that way because the graphics are so assy

moar LoL cosplay

>>7490512
this, you can make a completely accurate homestuck cosplay in 20 minutes with some sculpey and body paint.

also, the homestuck fanbase consists of individuals that are the result of the unholy union of what is left of the scene/emo bullshit from 2008 and tumblr.

>>7494578
It's just a completely different game, LoL is a lot faster paced so 3 seconds means a lot in a 5 second battle...

>>7505861
LoL spells are like Baseballs, you can throw a lot quickly without getting tired but they dont do all that much damage

Dota Spells are shotput.

>>7496645

Yeh, and yet dota manages to be worse in every regard.

It's kind of amazing, when you really think about it.

>>7490425
Sounds like someone's bitter because they're crap at LoL and can't get a ranking

>>7505849
Also homestuck cosplayers seem to have something against sealing their goddamn body paint. The worst part is, though they manage to rub that paint off on well....everything, it's some how almost impossible to wash out of fabric completely.

Idk I dont like LoL, but I'm usually impressed with the cosplayers considering its a game even normalfags play.

I think at Anime Matsuri's cosplay contest, it was like 1/3-1/2 LoL but none of them were as shit as the Code Geass, Bleach, Miku or MLP shit. I think its honestly the best fandom cosplay-wise because the game needs a certain level of intelligence/age to be good at it.

>>7492742
W-who is this?

>>7490501
Can someone explain to me why the hell Soraka cosplayers keep using blue bodypaint instead of purple? I mean her skin is obviously purple, shown in two of her skins.

I got a feeling people are taking the colour from her game sprite instead of the actual skin

>>7507887
My friend does this everytime I go to a convention with her. The last time she did it, she completely destroyed my outfit. I was ready to murder her.

>>7509855
Why not a blue-purple

>>7509855
I want to hug her, fuck her, cum on her pretty face, and then fiddle with her hooves.

Look who I found on IronStylus' twitter

>>7511375
>that unfortunate shield
>That unfortunate face

dear lord voldie, and I didn't think it could get any worse.

>>7511387
I don't think the shield looks that bad

>>7511387
the shield looks fine except for the places where it obviously got damaged

>>7511387
The top of the shield actually looks good

>>7509855
Splashes aren't really true to color. Plus people are more used to seeing the in-game.
I think a periwinkle would be perfect balance of purple and blue

bump

>>7490550
Oh god you're an idiot, please go back to /v/.

>>7511407
>>7511409
Along that note, I plan on cosplaying Leona, and I have experience with making weapon and staff type props, but I don't know how to approach making a shield? I mean, it has to be a lot thinner and lighter than I'm used to. I don't even know what to begin with that would be large enough, sturdy enough, and light/thin enough. Any advice?

Homestuck thread? Homestuck tread.

>>7515609
I made this a while ago, idk how helpful it is considering how shit my shield is but here ya go

>>7515784
I appreciate it; it's way better than the absolute nothing that I have. Thanks.

>>7509855
Relatedly, if I plan on cosplaying Shyvana (original skin), would it be a sin for me not to wear body paint? Stuff kinda weirds me out...

>>7515865
yeah you'll just look like someone wearing armor. it's kind of important to the character imo. if you dont want to wear body paint, still wanna go as shyv, and still want to be recognizable and not seem like you half-assed it, just go as waifuscale

Worst cosplayers in order:
Homestuck -> MLP -> Danganronpa -> LoL

>>7490498
I will never be able to get over that Fiddlesticks.

Muh diiiick.

Dumpin'

I see John eue

Just waiting for Enji and her hips to finish and shoot her Jinx cosplay

>>7516659
This is nice but I can't stop myself from just seeing dog poop all over her skirt
