Spamming some cosplays.

Dollybrie has a tutorial on her blogspot on how to make Cupid's EAH shoes if anyone is interested.

>>7623302
Interested. Link plez.

Ideas on how to make Blondie's MirrorPad cover? I have an iPad so it would be cute if I could transform it into hers when cosplaying her.

>>7623216
Also, how important do you think bodypaint is when it comes to certain characters in MH? Some cosplays that I've seen just look atrocious with it! That Draculaura could pass without it but what about characters like Abbey?

>>7623368
Source on the pic?

>>7623339

Wouldn't the easiest way be finding a blue ipad cover and just glueing bows and teddy bear head on?

>>7623368
It can look good and bad. But I'd prefer a cosplayer to use bodypaint. It's like cospaying one of those homestuck things without bodypaint

>>7624161
These are from KERA June 2013 (I think?) and they appeared on a two-spread dedicated to Monster High. Think the model that appears on these is Yura Peko.

>>7623368
I have to agree with >>7624207 as it kind of makes the whole costume look a lot better. Although I have seen plenty of Catty Noir and Spectra fails. It seems black and white are the hardest to work with.

>>7624286
Also I think people need to be taught how to balance stuff when putting makeup on.

>>7624192
Probably gonna buy an iPad cover and perhaps try making the bows with polymer clay. Is it possible to find bear button stickers for an iPad that are quite large?

>want to cosplay monster high
>can't pick a god damn character.

Thinking about doing Ghoulia, since I can't see without my glasses, and I can't into contacts, but I also really like Skelita and Twyla. Damn my nearsightedness.

>>7623368
>Really want that dress

I'm a bit busty/curvy (multiple, not just one curve)
But I want to cosplay Draculaura. Yes/no go?
If no, could you recommend another character? Both monster an EA is cool with me!

Advice on white bodypaint? I want to cosplay Catrine Demew but sadly I heard white shows most and even the littlest imperfections.

>>7624675
No if you want to be accurate

Yes if you want to have fun, show your love for the character/show/dolls, and cosplay draculaura.

>>7624675
Not sure how tall you are and what you exactly look like but I guess it is always good to remember that you should choose clothes as well as characters that flatter your shape and in this instance, wrap dresses such as Cupid wears in EAH will work so I would recommend her. I can't think of MH characters at the moment but I'll get back to you, once I do.

Blondie Anon, maybe you will find this useful for the dress since I am not a pro in terms of props.

>>7624491
You can always take the glasses off when somebody is taking a picture. But I mean Ghoulia is very cute and has so many cool outfits.
>anon is biased sorry

>>7624933
Mother anon thinking of cosplaying Ghoulia. I've had DDG version planned, but kind of really want to cosplay lab version, mostly for the periodic table dress.

>>7624947
Go with the lab version because the dress is just adorable. Do it for SCIENCE!

>>7624873
Homestuck here. White is awful, use armsocks and tights to what extent you can get away with it and then go for a professional brand of cream based clown white such as Kryolan. If you can't use armsocks or have an exposed stomach etc, look into PAX. Also, shironuri makeup could be relevant in terms of application and makeup on makeup.

>>7623368
I want to see someone cosplay Jinafire and use gold bodypaint.

>>7626149
For some reason this just makes me think of tobias from arrested development, passing out from inhaling too much metallic dust from the diamond cream

>>7623252
where did she get that wig?

>>7626742
pretty sure its shopped and if not goddamn

>>7626742
Sadly, I'm pretty sure it's just all photoshopped, anon.

>>7626742

It's all her hair, and the color is photoshopped in.

Dammit you guys brought back my monster high cosplay want. I ended up deciding against it because it seemed kind of embarrassing like cosplaying barbie? >coughalsoadmittingthatIwatchedalotoftheiranimatedshortsonlinecough
but ugh they are so cute. T.T Also hey I don't recognize that cupid chick I've been out of it for a while. Did they add more characters??

>>7628018
C.A Cupid was in MH for a while but then they decided to move her to Ever After High. There are plenty of new Monster High characters. I think that there are people cosplaying ponies, Disney princesses and all then why not cool dolls?

>>7624928
Any more of these? Like fabrics for other characters!

>>7624928
Thank you although I would like to tweak the print a bit since it seems a little off.

So is it possible to go with this wig colour for her? I am going to curl the wig and give it some more care and all but I am worried that it is much more yellow in the show so should I find a different colour?

>>7629767
Yes, I think that is a good choice for the base wig! I do agree, it needs a little more yellow and it needs more volume. The best way to combat it (though tedious) is by buying a few varied blonde tone wefts and wefting them in to add both volume and color variation. I know, that's the hard way but it'd look the most natural for Blondie!!

>>7629767
>>7629772
Agreed, if you add some wefts it will look much better. After all, the yellow color that the doll has may look a bit too... yellow.

>>7628549
No, I haven't seen many for EAH. I was thinking if I should do some references and fabric stuff for people if anyone is interested. (Summer time means I am free and bored)

Where is the hidden community for Ever After High besides Deviantart?

>>7629776
Yeah, Blondie's doll is way too yellow which makes me really sad because I do really like her design in the webisodes. Sometimes accuracy when it comes to the dolls are a bad idea.

>>7629767
Weft anon here, I decided to look up a couple of colors that I think would be suitable for adding some more color variation.

http://arda-wigs.com/pages/blonde

I was thinking lightning pink, titanium blonde and MAYBE some pale blonde. I know that's 45 dollars worth of wefts but if mixed into the wig I think you can achieve a more Blondie look.

>>7623252
>>7624286
I'm in love

>>7629784
Right, thanks for the help. Sadly, gonna have to wait as titanium blonde is out of stock.

>>7629776
Wouldn't mind some more references for Blondie's dress if you are still looking to help someone.

>>7631502
Sure but it may take me a bit to do it decently but shouldn't be too long. Keep us updated with the costume by the way.

>>7624873

Same goes to anyone else who is planning on doing someone/starting/in progress/whatever.

So for an upcoming con later in the year I'm hoping to do an EAH and MH cosplay. I think I've decided on Lizzie for EAH. But for MH I'm stuck on Twyla, Sirena or Freaky Fusion Draculaura/Frankie.

Also shameful selfpost.

>>7637704
Ah sorry I meant Sweet Screams Draculaura or Frankie. Not Freaky Fusion.

>>7637704
You're really cute but the bangs on your Draculaura wig perhaps need to be trimmed a bit although I could blame it on the angle. But yeah. Totally see you as her or Sirena.

Does anybody know what outfit of Draculaura the cosplayer is wearing in OP's pic?

>>7640742
Just her basic wave 1 outfit although slightly altered.

This Draculaura has a cute face.

And a Blondie make up test.
