As always, more input is always welcomed. Tutorials, wig recommendations, any suggestion, impartial or personal, or any contribution is great and will be added to the post. The Pastebin could probably be organized a bit better, so I'll be working on that...

Either way, we can always discuss:
> What was your first Homestuck cosplay, and what was your most recent?
> What are your thoughts on Humanstuck cosplays and designs? Should they be done just normally but without the grey and horns, or alternate designs, such as how some people imagine Terezi with ginger hair or Vriska with blonde hair?
> What's the most god tier God Tier outfit you have seen?

Nothing new under the radar here either. The only difference from Angryjaeger is that I can still find their FAQ.

Did GT-Dave with a beta group (pic related) consisting of Katspaw, Ceriene (both of which were removed from the list) and Kacielacie for 413. Other than that? Nothing since january. I say we take them off, we can't keep people on the list because they do one cosplay a year.

We should drop dersedreamer too, as much as it kills me. Angryjaeger at least revisited GT Dave for a small con a few months ago.

It's also odd considering how Dersedreamer kept that Homestuck URL all this time but hasn't done anything HS cosplay related in so long, yet at least Angryjaeger, though giving up their HS related URL for something more AoT, still did a few HS cosplays this year.

They've done a bunch of casual Roxy (also in the swimwear shot from the last thread), their latest cosplay being from july and their latest "serious" cosplay (fancy dreamer Dirk) from june. They've also done fancy dreamer Roxy (pic related) as well as Vriska, some sort of magical boy Dave with Murtunacaptor, samurai Dirk (their Dirk wig is the most unfortunate attempt I've seen in a while) and standard Roxy.

They do have a few really good cosplays, but a lot of what they do is also very average or even mediocre so I do think they fit well on pretty-tier.

>Harshwhimsical
Nothing new since march, and even then their past-year resume was rather uninteresting. Nothing in their WIP either.

>Saccharinesylph
We know they did a grandma Jade, and it was listed in their con schedule but there's no tagged pictures of it (my everlasting peeve with this blogger *shakes fist at air*), other than that the only things after their Fefeta is the Aradia which caused a shitload of drama and a humanstuck and rather uninteresting Feferi. I think it's already pretty decided that Saccharinesylph is not staying on the list, but then again I AM biased on the basis of hard-to-navigate blogs.

>Seclusionsalad
What I complained about last time was the lack of clean shots of their finished cosplays, since then they have fixed this somewhat with some nice pictures of their Jadesprite, Disciple (pic related) and one or two of their Jade. They also uploaded a Aranea selfie just the other day.

I feel as if they basically answered my research for me so I'm just going to leave it at that. (They have posted/reblogged a number of cosplays I didn't see first time I did this so yeah. Also they still reblog Homestuck.)

Like I already said I am probably biased. I also host the personal opinion that good photos of your cosplays should be required for the list, but that can be discussed. With that said, Saccharinesylph is already on pretty-tier.

Nothing new since their jedistuck with CBC and Pyropi in march, considering their record I say keep them on the list but maybe not at their current position.

Their last Homestuck-cosplay related was a WIP shot of their Aradiasprite in july but other than that there's nothing new. Their blog is much better organized now than it was the first time around, though.

>Kisbe
As far as I know it was planned they and Dei-sandvich do Erisolsprite and Aradiasprite together, either way they posted their Erisolsprite (pic related) in July but they've also posted a couple of shots of old costumes between now and the first time I did this.

The lack of good photoshoots combined with the quality of her recent cosplays (Grandma Jade, the Aradia debacle) makes me think we should just take her off. She's the odd man out on the list, even on pretty tier, when it comes to quality photos. Everyone else has them but her. If there's really nothing nice for us to look at, what's the point? Selfies and hallway shots have held other cosplayers up in the past from getting on the list. I don't see why it shouldn't count against SS too when that's really all that's in her arsenal.

They supposedly did GT Karkat and Sollux this last weekend, but there aren't any shots of that up yet. Aside from that, there's derbystuck, samuraistuck, ancestor shoot (which Snowchildhero was supposedly part of but I didn't see that on her blog? Huh), Gothichamlet's GT-Kankri, nocturnal sleepover, more jedistuck...
Helpful as always, on a stable course.

>Yaexrae
Haven't really done anything finished as of late, though they have reworn Kanaya as well as a kimono Rose (just selfies of that though). Aside from their Elsa-blogging they've however posted a few wips of their Condescension.

But basically, a wire frame sewn into the jacket.

I would honestly love to see some more creative takes on the sprites like this. I know a lot of Jadesprites use long skirts to create the illusion of a tail of sorts, but I would love to see this done with other characters too.

Also question, what do you guys like more? White + accent sprites or full colour sprites?

>> No.7755470

Two different looks. I prefer full color sprites when the emphasis is on translating the design more directly from canon. If it's a more creative interpretation, white+accent like Kisbe's look really cool.

>> No.7755842

>>7755470
100% agree.
Not to mention, if you've a group then fucking match it. Christ.

What are some creative takes we've seen on the sprite tails? Aside from Kisbe and the dozen jadesprites with trains, that is.
I vaguely remember an aradiasprite with a long bow type thing, as well as fefetasprite with feferi's skirt tails. What would be some interesting take on the other, not skirtwearing trolls?

>> No.7755849

>>7755390
it really depends on a lot of things with sprites. some are just really hard to pull off and look good. i've seen fully orange davesprites and green jadesprites that look fine, but some are just really hard to pull off. same with white, really. sprite makeup is a tricky art.
related, what are some HSG sprite design favorites? i'm thinking of doing aradiasprite, but i'm still unsure of what to do. i might take elements from a few designs and making them work together.

Why are anons so intent on keeping Saccharinesylph on anyhow? I can understand it with say, Ceriene, who have proved their quality a LOT of times, but Saccharinesylph doesn't really have that record as far as I can tell. A lot of their cosplays are good and I often enjoy their design choices, but as a cosplay blog on the list they're just not up to standard. Is it because they're a pleasant person or because of their IRL presence? I wouldn't know since I'm eurofag, but their blog does give off the impression that they would be.

Also I realized Hammasratas wasn't on that list even though I do remember them being promoted to pretty-tier? Or if there wasn't a consensus on that then here's a update on them.

>Hammasratas
I am still about the fence regarding including them on the list, since last time they haven't published any new Homestuck cosplays aside from a humanstuck Sollux (pic related). Though they have published more shots of their regular Sollux I can't say it's anything which particularly piques my interest. They still have Homestuck cosplay planned for the future, though.

>>7757026
Those who haven't produced anything new over the past six months (finished cosplays) are:
Harshwhimsical
Angryjaeger
Dersedreamer

And those who have posted photosets of/reworn old costumes but not made any new content:
Vantasticmess
Cancerously
Violetprince

Then there's also those who haven't posted any finished sets, Cancerously, Saccharinesylph and Yaexrae, who have posted hall shots, selfies, WIPs or con schedules. Saccharinesylph did post one shot of her Aradia, though, so that's disputeable.

She's a bigger name through art and community/help involvement, but that's been slacking lately too. The outlook doesn't look good but I still don't want to drop her completely. But I'm also for keeping the list bigger by adding active people like Striderian instead of keeping it small and exclusive.

Didn't Angryjaeger do a Dave cosplay recently? Or were there no photos of that? IMO people who haven't posted any photos for 6 months should get dropped.

Yaexrae's helpfulness and craftsmanship annihilates SS completely. They're not even in the same league.

Being a good person and well liked it subjective as hell. Unless they're a drama bomb train wreck, how "nice" they are is open to interpretation and shouldn't influence how good of a cosplayer someone is.

Really doubt that, but a lot of the posters might be acquainted with her; if someone's East Coast US and among the better HS cosplayers, who generally come here, there's a big chance she's talked to them.

I've never gotten to cosplay, I was looking for ideas on how to make a costume, and all I find is down-right hatred of people with nothing to do but shit-list people. Being in highschool, doesn't make you a horrible cosplayer.

Saccharinesylph DOES have cosplay help and tutorials, such as this one with GT-wings ->
http://saccharinesylph.tumblr.com/post/40576240074/how-i-make-my-godtier-wings
But it's hard to find on her blog, there's no separate tag for it or if there is it's not linked to.

>>7757328
My personal suggestions would be to drop Ceriene, Harshwhimsical, Angryjaeger and Dersedreamer and then add Striderian, maybe Hammasratas and possibly Ceres.

I am all for a tier-less list because it doesn't really take in account the experience of following the bloggers as a whole. Really, I only try and help out with giving an as unbiased opinion as possible. If we want to drop the list entirely then that's really fine by me, but if we want a new way to judge bloggers and cosplayers then someone needs to give me that set of parameters because I don't want to actually shape the list myself.

pic semi unrelated, it is Ceres, who was considered for the list briefly.

Alright, which one of you asked Angryjaeger about cosplaying Homestuck again?

Oh, completely. Whiteknighting SS by derailing conversation to how ~*~*~we're all just as autistic as bronies~*~*~ isn't helping them they way they wish it was.

Honestly at this point those of us who didn't care about SS staying want her gone because her following gets so fucking obnoxious in these threads. No one wants to deal with the level of assmad her friends get when she's brought up here. There are more posts about removing her than there are posts about how she should stay. Get rid of her already so this can move on, jesus christ.

>>7757390
No experience/reviews to offer, but please tell me you've worn contacts before and have done your research on the correct way to care for scleras. Sclera lenses can be an awesome addition to a cosplay but you don't want to fuck up your eyes because you don't know what you're doing.

Harshwhimsical was on the list with exclusively Gamzees, though I did oppose them being on it when I did the first set of writeups. Take that as you want.

The fact that you're defensive enough to immediately jump to accusations of vendetta over one tame post of criticism makes me think selfpost or friendfag, but I'll bite. The paint itself appears fine, but her lipstick is almost nonexistent, her eyebrows are still slathered in paint, and she's definitely not wearing enough mascara. She's completely washed out. Good paint alone does not equal good makeup; it's part of it, but not the whole thing.

The beta kids sprite colors are the alpha player colors. The same is true in reverse. Nanasprite - Jane; Jaspers - Roxy; Bec/Dream Jade - Jake and Crow - Dirk.

The same is also true in reverse (Erisolesprite is Jade's color, etc). Come on guys, am I the only one that reads HS for the story? :(

Lol, right? Smh at >>7761979

"Looks much better" isn't an excuse for some things, and the corresponding sprite colors is one of them. I don't think a lighter grey is synonymous to sprite colors because sprite colors have a reason behind them. Asking cosplayers to get the exact shade of troll grey is a little outrageous. Asking cosplayers to get basic details right i.e. Jadesprite having a darker shade of green is pretty reasonable.

>> No.7762112

>>7762073
I just never noticed somehow. To me that's an interesting detail but not vital to know to get the story, like the names of every single one of the trolls' lands. I guess it's reasonable to expect cosplayers to notice, but 90% of jadesprites do use lime green (probably because, like me, they didn't know this, or might have thought Hussie was making an arbitrary coloring choice by not making her green.)

It's not expecting an "exact shade" so much as light just does look a lot better. On this thread, cosplayers who use dark grey generally get dragged for it bc it looks nasty af (see: that one Sufferer).

Most Jadesprites use lime green because they're lazy. I'm pretty sure you're in the slim minority that didn't connect the fact that the beta sprites' colors match the alpha kids' text. You're the only person I've ever heard not pick up on that.

Okay, but dark grey isn't canon at all. To be honest, I don't actually believe that most of the lighter greys used for trolls are "lighter than canon" unless it's Snazaroo, so the comparison falls flat for me. Still doesn't change the fact that the darkness/lightness of grey used has no actual meaning in the comic whereas sprite colors do.

I mean, the alpha kids weren't around when the beta kids' sprites appeared, and I guess I never looked closely at the colors of the original sprites on subsequent rereads.

It's not exactly a "critical context clue" (like I get that KK = mutant limeblood or other visual), I'm still convinced most Jadesprite cosplayers just didn't realize.

Has everyone forgotten that the clearest time we saw Jadesprite was during cascade and she was a fairly light green? Not lime, but her hair was not Jake color either.

Why on earth would you go with a panel that shows up during one flash (a flash where there is a lot of light/fire going on, mind you) when she shows up darker literally every other time?

there's no "narrative reason" behind jade wearing a long skirt and a long-sleeved skirt when she lives on a tropical island either, but she does. there doesn't need to be a reason beyond the fact that it's the color that hussie chose. it's like using the wrong bloodcolor decal for a troll. you wouldn't cosplay a leijon using neon green instead of olive.

i take narrative reason to mean "reason explained by plot." ie, some ectobiological backstory that maybe involved time shenanigans to demonstrate why jadesprite's green matched jake's would be a narrative reason to me. but just because there's no narrative reason (beyond the fact that it foreshadows and then connects to jake's text color) doesn't mean there's no reason at all. if you're gonna go by that logic, what's the reason for john's hair being spiked? why should we bother critiquing john cosplayers with flat wigs when there's no reason behind his hair being tousled?

we can see that his hair is spiked. we can see that jadesprite's color matches jake's. we have visual evidence for that. that's the reason for both. just because they don't have their own plotline to offer an explanation doesn't mean it's not important.

It's not because there's some super logical reason it's because in every given instance we're shown a sprite it has the colour of the player's "dancestor" or whatever you want to call it.

I originally going to just say the John and Jade have unfortunate faces, and that their stuff needs to be ironed. But after looking at it for a bit Jade's arm looks really fucked up to me and I have no idea why. Am I imagining things or is it not supposed to be bent that way?

Thats called over extending or something. It happens when you straighten out your elbows or knees to the max.

it's called hyperextention, and it's pretty common if your elbows are double jointed

How would one go about doing a Tavrisprite wig anyhow? I know that simply shorter sides are often suggested to Tavros cosplayers but seeing as Tavrisprite doesn't seem to have their hair shaved all the way it might be easier to implement some sort of bald cap?

I was thinking, getting a rufio from arda in the right color and adding wefts in the back, while having the sides trimmed down. I feel like it would look weird at the same time though.

I think you'd need to make it bigger in the front, though, or it would look weird with the hair in the back.

the sprite has those triangular shapes sticking out of her face; they're commonly interpreted as fur, since bec has those same shapes. Also they were drawn as fur in cascade, I believe

One's a little lumpy, but those aren't awful horns. That + they need some more contouring imo, but aside from that, this isn't a bad Kankri.

Alcon's coming up in the first week if september. Its 16+ so theres a lot of babbys first cosplay - last year i saw a morbidly obese gamzee with only the eye/mouth paint, too-small shirt, badly painted spots on the trousers, and furry legwarmers. It was certainly a sight to behold, and I am damn glad they either didnt see me or dont ship gamkat.

>> No.7767961

Shapewise they're alright (although I'd like to see more of the darkest paint tier) but they're way too tall for Kankri. They'd be better for the Signless, maybe, to poke up through the cloak hood.
