FB for those interested is UbersCosplay. Working on some tutorials that I will eventually be putting up.

>>7854454
Stop being so beautiful,

>>7854454
Your stuff is always really cool dude.

I didn't like how this costume turned out at first but I really love this shot. Its my Beetoven cosplay from Eiyuu Senki

>want to self post but have already self posted the same picture in previous self post threads
;-;

>>7854474
Do it anyways.

First time trying any gory cut makeup, I feel like I did okay.

>>7854690
This is fucking amazing anon

>>7854471
I also got my one shot. neat.

Just got some more of my pics back. My friend likes to play around with the colors, remove unecessary objects, like boats and shit. We were out a state park and it was seriously the hottest fucking day. Also, inb4 fattychan. Yea, working on losing some weight. Slowly but surely. As much as i love this costume, the one regret i have with it, is that it does nothing for what little figure i have. Makes me look 30-40lbs heavier. I'm happy with the quality of this outfit. I did dirty everything up, it just doesn't come up in photos as well.

Bumpin. I cosplayed Rise again recently.

>>7854690
Brienne...of Tarth? From ASoIaF? You look AWESOME.

>>7854920
At least it accents your nice butt?

>>7854690
That is incredible

Self-postin my godoka since i haven't done anything else recently

>>7855072
WOW I'm dumb

>>7854993
>>7854993
>inaccurate shoes
>badly styled bands
>inaccurate seifuku

You'd think if it's your 2nd+ time cosplaying Rise you'd have some more details down....

>>7855052
T-thanks.

>>7855100
Thanks! :3

Hey. Working on 3rd suit now

one of the costumes i made recently i'm happy with! my gems light up but you can't tell cause of the lighting lol

>>7854454
This is so smooth. So sleek. So beautiful. 100/10

Ran out of funds and time to do the gloves right.

>>7855305
Is that Volpin Props' helmet? Did you buy it off them? ARE you Volpin props? If you bought it then I both do and don't understand the glove detail.
>If you could shell out that much for one of their helmets why not spend enough on the gloves too
>If you saved up to buy the helmet it's understandable you'd have less crafting skills
help me out here

>>7855254
The idea of self post threads is to post things that you yourself have made. Those are TJack's lenses, and, assuming you are the same spiderman cosplayer from older threads, than it's safe to assume you didn't sew the suit, or design the subdye pattern.
Essentially, you are just modelling other peoples work.

>>7855326
I thought the idea of a self post thread is to... self post. Post yourself in your cosplays, even if you've bought them/bought pieces.

And if you want to show off stuff you've made, you'd take it to WIP threads or, if you must, specifically mention and talk about how you made them.

Corvo Attano

>tfw all the photos you've taken of your costume are really derp
>tfw the candid shots people took are much less derp, but don't show the full costume

Sigh.

>>7855326
Hi there.
Those are actually not TJack lenses, they are lenses that I bought 3d Printed from a person off TheRPF. I moulded them myself and added fencing to it (painted it white).
But that is a good observation, they do look really similar.

And as for the self-post thread, I always thought it was a self-post thread.
I did not know it was a self-made thread. OP didnt clarify. But thanks for the concern

>>7855326
Are you gonna get pissy with the lolitas who self post since they didn't make their brands and accessories? The person's excited about their costume and wanted to share, and there aren't rules about what "counts" as a self post. Chill.

>>7855314
Yes it is, I bought one of his sale raw helmets in June.
I had sold a lot of things to pay for the parts and chroming. By the time I finished the helmet it was too late for the 2 week turn around for chrome and I didn't have the 300 for the chroming and shipping anyways.

>>7855326
...No, anon, it's just to post yourself. If you want to post about something you've made, you can mention it, but it's not necessary. It's just to post selfies and pictures and the like.

The WIP/Help thread is probably more what you're expecting.

>>7855335
What did you use for the chroming? It looks perfect. Or unless I'm not reading it right and you got it already chromed?

>>7855344
I did get it professionally chromed by coat of chrome in pa. This was my second helmet and I decided to hell with it and went all out. It runs about 300 for the chroming and then there's shipping.

pic is my first helmet

I ran out of time to paint the tiny details on the flowers but here's my yukata Ilya cosplay from AWA. There was a shoot too so I'm excited to get those pics when they're ready.

>>7854779
>>7854471
Yesss, love this game. I'm definitely going to cosplay Beethoven, Napoleon, or Cook soon.

>>7855077
those are some shitty/ugly frills
and small tits

>>7855330
This. I did this for the first couple years I was cosplaying until I eventually gave in and realised it's worth the money to just hire a photographer and get a decent photoshoot done. Justifies all the money and time spent on making the cosplay itself frankly, and good for a portfolio of sorts to be able to show off/see your progress/post in selfpost threads

Eh why not. I'm really excited by this picture.

>>7855489
BARD?!

>>7855498

Yep, Bard.

>>7854993
>saved

>>7855501
Oh anon you made my night you make a great bard. The fur seems off though, shouldn't it be brown? Sorry for nitpick

>>7855480
>criticizing a madoka for having small tits
nigger u srs?

>>7854754
>>7855072
>>7855011
Thanks guys!

>>7855517

Thanks! I have a lot of fun in the costume and I'm really excited how it turned out. Plus you don't see too many Bard's and he's so awesome.

And yeah the fur is actually supposed to be freaking Kangaroo but this was the closest I could find to the patterning without dropping an ass ton on it, there's filters on the shot but in person it's more a brown/grey/white mix.

Posting my Diaya! I'm still not ultra happy with her but given the time I had, it could have been much worse.

Aw man. I was gonna post then I saw the pictures posted. Fuck you guys and how beautiful and/or talented you all are.

>>7855547
I've never seen a Bard! But I feel ya with the fur, my friend and I are working on Fili and Kili for the premier of the next movie and Fili's fur took legit months to find.

Here's one of my latest.

>>7855295
Love the weathering on this.

I apologize for the blurriness. mah lady friend was takin the photos, but i had fun as spiderman at Edmonton Expo recently.

>>7855704
I think the blurriness of the spiderweb shooting is a nice effect if you get a proper picture taken next time

>>7855704
Very nice.

What did you make the lenses out of? Also no shoes?

>>7855480
Madoka Kaname is 14 years old.

>>7855549
>that backdrop

I saw you on the weekend!! I couldn't run up and get a picture though, I was working at the maid cafe so I couldn't just leave to hunt you out

The newest I have decent pics of, pure angle flonne from disgaea d2.
Worn at MTAC and momocon

>>7855480

>>7855480
I know it's Voldie and I dislike her but seriously?
Criticizing Madoka for having small tits?
Are you a bitter disgusting cow tits or something?

>>7855100
Stop being a sandy cunt

>>7854471
Shit it's gorgeous i love it anon

>>7854690
It's wonderful

>>7854993
Persona ftw also cute Rise

>>7854454
no way this is you

>>7855916
damn it is, i've sperged out with my homies over pictures of your shit so much you couldn't believe
i just want you to know you have a pack of marvel playing hoodlums in the frozen wastelands of quebec that think you're the shit

>>7855077
i edited some pictures for you in the ps thread but you never came back ;_;

Posting some Kenshin and Tomoe cosplay from February this year. We all but died in the cold of the mountains but our awesome photographer totally made it worth it.

>>7855480
Madoka is pretty flat anyway.

Yes, yes, the elastic waistband is shit and I need to fix it so it doesn't ride down and show underneath the jacket. More importantly, Kyuubey.

>>7855713
Thanks. I made the lenses out of a splatter screen wire mesh and a sheer cloth backing. it works well for photos and such, but the visibility isn't so good.

also ya, no shoes yet (soon though, i ran out of time before the con.) I do however have insoles keep my feet less dirty and comfortable

>>7856125
The shoes aren't just for your feet, they are also needed so the costume doesn't get fucked up and torn to shreds when walking around.

Also, you don't need any fabric in your lenses. I did mine with two kitchen splatter screens crossed at an angle, painted white, and I can see perfectly fine out of them with no trouble at all. And even close up, it's not easy for anyone to see inside, as you can see here.

>>7856130
Oh and since it's kind of hard to see the costume in that pic, here are some of my recent costumes and a clearer shot of my Spidey.

>>7854779
We did it.

>>7855474
I think I remember you from previous threads! You def should. I cosplayed Cook before as well haha

>>7855898
Thank you!

>>7856167
Whoops, that's me, haha. The more cosplays I find the more excited I get about it.

Some gentle concrit incoming.
>>7854920
I've enjoyed seeing your progress. I like the colours and details.
>>7854779
A couple details could be improved, like doing a proper mitred corner on the edge of the collar's trim, and clipping loose threads, but overall your costume is clean and simple in a good way.
>>7854690
Good work on the SFX makeup and well done on the costume overall.
>>7854471
I'm not sure if it's just the photo, but the piano key lines look a little shakier on the skirt than on the sleeves. I do like the tailoring on the vest and jacket though, and you're good at posing and having natural expressions.
>>7854454
Fantastic as usual.
>>7855489
+5 for Bard
>>7855549
I think if you're planning to improve her in the future, the tights might be the first thing you'd want to work on. They're a bit loose on you now, but taking them in may help. What are they made of? Multiple panels of spandex?
>>7855699
Is this self-made? Love that it's lined. Very clean.
>>7855295
Nice work on the makeup, weathering and accessories.
>>7855855
Curious how the bangles and hair accessories were made.
>>7855973
Lack of recent Kenshin cosplay saddens me. Lovely photo. Where did you do your shoot?
>>7856060
Did you make your own Kyubey? He's a cutie. I'd suggest layering your wig a little around the sides of your face; you have a pretty, oval face but it's being obscured by the wig, and you may find that it's hard to get good lighting in photos like that, especially when your costume has a hat too.
>>7856139
You always do solid work, although I think that investing in thinning shears from a beauty supply store may help with layering your wigs. Bridget and Jack look slightly blunt around the bangs.

Going back and commenting because why not.

>>7854404
I never really watched this anime but the shot for this is pretty cool.

>>7854454
Your stuff is always amazing. I can't get over how well everything is constructed.

>>7854690
The gore makeup looks really nice. The overall costume looks pretty fantastic.

>>7854920
The detail looks really nice, and the setting is even better, it really suits the game.

>>7854993
You really do make a cute Rise!

>>7855077
Woah your eyes look pretty stunning here ngl.

>>7855295
The details on this are really nice. The prop and the armor look really nice and weathered.

>>7855549
Very cute! She has such a cute outfit haha.

>>7855699
Yesss I love the color combo you chose for her.

>>7855855
All the hearts and stuff look so nice, overall its a fantastic looking costume.

>>7856060
I'm not sure what you're cosplaying but the jacket and design look really nice.

>>7856197
Oh yeah the skirt has some shaky areas. If you look up close you can tell where I had real stabilizer and where I didn't. By the time I got to the sleeves I was better at it. But doing stitching over the whole thing was an...experiment to say the least. But thank you either way haha.

>>7856139
Y-you're handsome...

>>7856223
Ahh so it was stitched? I was curious how you'd done it. Were the black keys done with applique and a satin-stitched edge? Still though, that's a really cool technique to use for detailing and adds a special touch. I'm sure that with this costume under your belt, you'll put your new skills to good use in future costumes.

There's a lot that needs to be fixed for the next time and the hat was a hilarious exercise in jury-rigging, but I'm happy with these shots.

I'm too lazy to go through and comment on all of your pictures but all y'all are lovely and talented.

>>7855329
Marry me

>>7856197
>Where did you do your shoot?
In Altenberg, Germany

>>7856278
Its all stitched haha because I'm crazy I guess. But the individual keys (the separated white parts), were done with a really close together satin stitch. I had a stabilizer for backing. Initially I was trying out regular printing paper for it but I really wouldn't recommend that. Once I got a fusible stabilizer it made a huge difference.

The black keys are aplique with the same close satin stitching right on top.

>>7855973
Ohhh god I love snow shots so I can agree that this is worth it.

>>7854471
Love the piano key trim

>>7855549
YEESSSS part 8 cosplay!

I'll just throw in some barmaid Tequilla Joseph to add to the Jojo count.

All right, I've mustered up the courage to finally post myself here. I'm cosplaying an obscure-ass Gundam character only hipsters like me care about. Please be gentle, this is only my third (technically fourth) cosplay ever.

Who am I kidding--you seagulls will eat me alive, especially once I tell you all that this took me three years to complete...

This is the last cosplay I made, Minori Kushieda the Beach Queen version, it was easy but it made me really happy, especially the color of the wig!

One of the few candid shots i found that show the majority of my costume. Fencing was fun.

I lurk enough and occasionally post. So I'll post what I'm working on for Youmacon!

I'm starting to dive into comic cosplays and I can't wait to wear Supergirl around the con.

I also want to come back and comment on everyone's lovely work, but I'll do that when I get home from work, lol.

>>7855549

Lay off the pancakes and be sure to take away my memory of how disgusting your face is

>>7856362
You should put on your wig properly, otherwise it'll look like you have some alien head trying to pull it a little down
and shape your eyebrows please, the rest is fine, you have a cute face!

>>7856368
Thank you so, so much, I honestly struggle a lot with Arda wigs and getting them to sit right. I also ordered a new wig for this too. I need to go get my eyebrows waxed. I'm due for an appointment. I'm just terrified of going too thin/drastic because I don't wear make up on a daily basis so I don't want to have to fill in my eyebrows everyday.

>>7856306
I love your Tequilla Joseph, best cosplay 10/10

>>7856379
Don't worry, before a Con i look like a zombie and with the power of the make-up i became another person, if the wig slips too much try to fix the cape to the wig with some hairpins!

>>7856197
The bangles were cheap bracelets I painted and glossed.
The hair hearts are styrofoam hearts that I modpodged the crap out of, cut the bottom points off of, painted and glossed. (Cut off the bottoms so I could slip it over the hair clips)

>>7856222
Thank you!

>>7856324
Awesome harry ord

>>7856130
ya, i wore out some holes in the heels after the con.

the fabric was a bit of a last minute idea. thanks for the heads up though. Yours looks really good.

>>7856567
S-senpai noticed me~

>>7856060
Oh my god someone actually cosplayed Oriko holy shit

>>7856060
major props for going as Oriko, we need a whole group of the Kazumi Magica cast

>>7856197
>You always do solid work, although I think that investing in thinning shears from a beauty supply store may help with layering your wigs. Bridget and Jack look slightly blunt around the bangs.

Thanks, and yeah, wig work is definitely my weakest area. Jack's isn't actually that bad, but I had it stored poorly for weeks before I dug it out again for that shoot and it didn't spring back too well. Bridget was, and still is a horrid mess. I will absolutely redo that entire wig, as well as the shoes and handcuff before I wear it again.

>>7856240
Aw, thank you!

>>7856600
Since it already has holes in it, I would recommend getting some cheap insoles and put them inside it, and then separate the soles from a pair of aqua shoes and use shoe goop to affix them to the bottom. Be sure to get some insoles in there though. You don't want that stuff touching any part of your skin, and most socks aren't thick enough to prevent that from happening.

>>7856197
>I've enjoyed seeing your progress. I like the colours and details.

Thanks! I'm glad i didn't drive everyone nuts spamming pictures.

>>7856222
>The detail looks really nice, and the setting is even better, it really suits the game.

Thanks and yea i wish we couldve done some different photos too, especially near the water but i think this has to be my other favorite. Sorry for double post on pics.

>>7855489

Bard, I have photos of you from MomoCon!

>>7855725
Aww darn! I hope you had a great con anyway, I thought it was pretty okay for a first year con.

>>7856197
Yeah the thigh highs are definetly the thing I'm fixing first, and yeap they are just panels of spandex sewn together.

>>7856222
>>7856306
Thank you both so much!

>>7856363
Love you too anon

>>7857096

Oh hey that is me! Apparently I pose even when I'm not paying attention. XD Thanks anon!

>>7854454

Jesus, beautiful

>>7855329

Looks great anon

>>7854454
IT'S MADE OF TITANIUM, SEE FOR YOURSELF

>>7856362
nice closet cosplay
also pull that wig on all the way you look like you have 2 foreheads

>>7854460
>>7854467
>>7855298
>>7855916
Not really a way I could prove it anyway is there?
>>7856197

>>7857157
>>7857188
Thanks :)
>>7855305
That is some slick chrome :o
>>7856608
Cons need more gundam cosplayers please dont stop

> mfw not good enough to self-post yet
I-I need to work on time management and having cosplays actually ready for the con where there are actually people taking pictures.

>nb4 your fat/ugly/gross

I did a 50's version of Corpse Bride for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party with my friends doing other Burton movies with the same theme. I still have a few things I want to fix [trim at the bottom, the bangs, better makeup, blue tie for bf] but overall I'm super happy with how it turned out and how swishy the skirt ended up.

>>7857072
I was thinking about doing that. Thanks for the heads up. btw, were you the spiderman I talked to at the con?

>>7858454
why would you post this? this belongs in the cringe thread. nothing to do with how fat/ugly/gross you are.

>>7858495
I mean, if you wanna post it to cringe be my guest.

>>7858454
Even if it is a "50's Version" it still looks completely unrecognizable and shoddily made.

>>7858454

>50's version of Corpse Bride

Literally the worst idea I've ever seen realized.

My old school Gamora, I'm very pleased with how the body paint came out

>>7858510
Well I had people come up to me all night telling me Corpse Bride was their favorite Tim Burton movie. Blue hair + veil + Scraps are real hints as to what it is.

But if y'all don't like it that's cool. I ran out of fucks to give.

>>7858454
This is a cute idea for something like the Disney Halloween thing. For a legit cosplay? No.
People are treating this like is a legitimate cosplay, when it's obviously not.

Good idea, though.

It was a rush job at the time but I got to fix everything that was wrong since. Still really proud of this.

>>7854920
I've seen you on cosplay.com. I appreciate your effort into cleaning those deer bones, but I'd be lying if I said the idea doesn't creep me out.

I already had posted this right after the con for feedback but it's the season for witches so why not?

My Schierke cosplay for the Comic Con last summer.

>>7858520

I'd say pat that down a bit more. I can still see some patches on the paint. Also, it would be cool if you got some of those white effect lenses. I think it would make the whole cosplay come alive!

>>7855100
They've got a point. Get the modesty collar, undershirt and shoes sorted. Just because you have a pretty face it doesn't mean people aren't going to call you out.

>>7855397
Just going to reply to this because I have an actual quality picture now.

>>7858596
construction wise this looks really solid. Maybe next time try appliqueing the flowers on to add a little bit of dimension? Also a good ironing would work wonders and just make the whole look more polished.

>>7858520

Looks good. I would just contour your face a bit more. Especially your nose and lips. They kinda get lost when people do body paint.

>>7858589
>tenleid
>pretty face
>my sides

>>7858600
Thanks! Those flowers are actually aplliqued on, though it was my first time using it. And yeah, the ironing job isn't too spectacular, especially not in this lighting, but I definitely need to step it up for my next con. Honestly just hearing the construction compliment really makes my day since I'm shoddy at sewing and this was my first project in a while, so thank you.

>>7858596
That kitsuke is really, really sloppy. Your kimono shouldn't be hanging over your obi like that. Do some more practice wearing kimono. Invest in an obi-ita and eri-shin. Fold your kimono properly and strap your collars down, etc.

>>7858647
this.

>>7858647
>>7858596
Also, here's an okay video on how to tuck and fold properly. They also show how to use a datejime, obi-ita, and korin belt. If you don't know what any of these items are, you're doing kimono (horribly, horribly) wrong.

>>7858647
>>7858649
Hi, it's actually a yukata, like pic related. I was pretty sure it looked a lot like the source material but I'd like to hear your feedback after looking at it as well.

>>7858647
To be fair this look like a yukata cosplay. The kimono is obviously handmade (see the volume of these flowers ?) with the wrong type of fabric and won't drape. It's obviously meant to be an hanhaba obi and you're not supposed to wear a obi-ita with it, since it's lounge wear. Yeah it's sloppy, for sure, but girl I've seen so much sloppily tied the wrong way with boobs hanging out yukata yesterday that this one looks ok for a cosplay.

>>7858661
well no shit it's a yukata, that doesn't really excuse bad kitsuke brah. It looks like your yukata is both too big and too short compared to the source material. Honestly it's not a terrible attempt but there's definitely room for some improvement.

>>7858667
I can understand the too big part, but not really how it's too short, but I guess it can come from the angle of the picture. Either way, thank you for the feedback and I'll keep it in mind for my next project, though I won't be doing one of these for a while.

>>7858661
Yeah, yukata still means proper kitsuke. Sorry to break your weaboo dreams and everything, but people still don't wear yukata all sloppy like that IRL. The only reason it's slightly crinkled in the figurine is because her arms are raised. No self respecting Japanese person would go into public wearing a kimono the way you're wearing yours. There is a difference between yukata worn at a hot springs (which basically amount to pajamas) and yukata worn as daily wear.
>>7858667
This.

>>7858671
Ah, I see what you mean now, thanks. I should probably take it in a bit on the sides before I wear it next then.

>>7858671
Also, here's a whole page of real, everyday people wearing yukata if you don't believe me.

http://tokyofashion.com/yukata-pictures-jingu-gaien-fireworks-harajuku/

>>7858671
'no slef-respecting japanese'
Nothign against you but guuuurl, have you even been to a matsuri ? Sloppy yukata everywhere ! I'm not speaking about girls who actually love kimono and wear it as often as possible, I'm talking about regular japanese people with their store bought sets with tsuke-obi. Not defending her either because it's obviously a default of her cosplay (althought thanks to the mask you get to understand that's supposed to be matsuri related) but don't put japanese people on a pedestal, I've seen some motherfucking uninmpressive kitsuke on youngsters.

>>7858672
That's not how a kimono works. Kimono have straight seams. You don't put darts into a kimono. You just need to learn how to fold it and wrap it around your body properly. If you take it in on the sides the entire fold line and hem is going to hang crooked and not fit together properly.

I'm also guessing with 100% accuracy that you don't have half of the accessories needed to do this, as before mentioned. If you don't have the appropriate undergarments and ties, it's going to look like shit as you walk around throughout the day from coming untied. You need a datjime and obi-ita, at the absolute bare minimum, to keep from looking like a total weaboo who has no idea what they're doing. Just being honest here.

>>7858678
Noted. The ties are there as well, and I took the easy route and sewed one long rectangle to connect it with velcro along with a detachable bow instead of a normal obi due to time constraints so thankfully I don't have to really worry about it coming undone. I followed all of the videos I saw, but I just wasn't able to tuck it in probably, though I'll definitely keep that in mind the next time I wear it. Thanks for all your help.

>>7858675
Oh, I totally agree. I must meant in terms of bare minimum tucking and folding. You see a lot of armpit gape and sloppy kitsuke, but nothing so horrible that it looks like it's been slept in and then tied on while bent over at a 90º angle. Most kids make an effort, even if it does mean that they're hiking their hems up to their shins and have bunching at centerline. At least, in my own observations.

>>7858686
honestly, there are a few really stupid online tutorials that tell you to put the kimono hem a few inches above your ankles so...

>>7858685
Yeah, a datejime is a belt that holds your kimono together in place so your kimono doesn't bunch up and look like shit, and an obi-ita is a board that goes underneath whatever obi you're wearing (how the obi constructed makes no different whatsover) that keeps the obi from crumpling in on itself and looking like shit. They also aren't expensive accessories and can be purchased on e-bay for a pittance, if not handmade for even less. So, look into kitsuke websites. There's a lot of information out there if you look.

>>7858689
I see. One of the places I looked mentioned placing towels underneath the yukata to give it a flatter look and stop the bunching up as well. Would you suggest something like that?

>>7858688
Or the tutorials for folding everything up so it's a "mini-skirt". Don't get me started on that.
>kimono-hime and sage

>>7858691
Small towels, like a folded tea towel, can be used to pad out curves if you have an hourglass shape. If you are not built like a tube, you're going to need to use padding to help round out your shape for the obi to sit properly and hold it's shape. That's why an obi-ita is important, it provides an added base for the obi to sit on top of; it's why the obi is mostly flat in nearly every picture you've ever looked at. They make padding specifically for this, but towels work fine for people who aren't into collecting and wearing kimono. Do also note that this means you will need an extra datejime or extra koshi-himo to hold the towels in place too.

>>7858700
Awesome, thanks, I'll definitely do this next time. Most of the places I looked just aren't as good as talking to an actual person, so this is a big help, anon.

>>7858703
NP. Immortal Geisha is also a really good resource on anything kimono/wafuku and kitsuke.
http://www.immortalgeisha.com/ig_bb/

>>7858529
nice margaret!

>>7858703
Another tip is to wear a sports bra or some other kind of flattening bra (short of binding, that much shouldn't be necessary) so that your boobs aren't so prominent. I'm only a b cup but I noticed my yukata and kimono sit a lot more neatly if I wear something to flatten my bust. Your boobs should never sit over the top of your obi if you can help it. I know this is hard if you've got big boobs but do what you can to minimise them and you'll look a lot more accurate to proper kitsuke

>>7858661
Also remake the mask to make it look like, well, an actual mask. From what I can see it looks like you just cut out some paper or fabric and glued everything together. Make up is your friend too. If you're gonna cosplay a loli like Ilya the least you could do is to contour and put emphasis on your eyes to give your face a sweeter look.

>>7858995
Oh, yeah, originally I was going to sculpt the mask but then stuff came up and I almost didn't go to the con. I'll look into improving my makeup too.

>tfw you'll never have a clinically depressed/mentally scarred qt 3.14 /cgl/ grill to comfort and cuddle with at night
Kill me

>>7855896
Not sandy anon, for an incredibly simple cosplay it's incredibly inaccurate. I just figure if you're redoing a cosplay it's often to make improvements, so why are there still so many glaring inaccuracies?

She isn't even wearing Rise's trademark turtleneck...

This kimono talk is why I'm too scared to do a proper yukata/kimono cosplay. Terrified that even with a megatonne of research/practice putting it all on I'd fuck it up somehow.
>>7858306
You'll get there anon, I believe in you.
>>7855699
Dayum, that clean construction on the uniform but also that everything else.
>>7854471
This looks beautiful. I love the Eiyuu Senki designs.
>>7855295
I have zero clue what this is from/who it is but it looks great, especially with the weathering you've done.
>>7854454
Fucking amazing, your stuff always leaves me awestruck.

No reason not to go back to my old self posting ways now that I have something new to post.

>>7859521
Wow

>>7858559
Love it!

There's a lot of missing details (boot covers, sword, chains, trims, etc) but I'm glad I was able to get her wearable for AWA. Looking forward to Shinovi Versus here soon!

>>7859521
Well done! I like the fit, materials, and detailing.

>>7858559
I've seen you post this a few times before, but I'm okay with that because I really like it. I'm always excited to see Berserk cosplay. My only complaint from what I can see here is your Evarella, see doesn't look the best.

>>7859711

I wasn't very happy with her either. I didn't make her, my boyfriend did. I kinda wanted to buy one of those heads and doll.bodies but.money and time weren't on my side by the time. I made the little dress and wings. He sculpted a sculpy head on a Monster High body.

>>7855549
I've seen three purple Daiyas now, is there some artwork I missed?

>>7859521
Thank you! Your Rohan is fantastic!

>>7858559
Are you the same as her? If so you are my fucking idol and you are my fav schierke cosplayer.

>>7855489
>>7857096
>>7857124

I have one more of you and your friend.

>>7854168
I lurk sometimes soooo

errr i cosplayed as elysium from soul calibur V

My Tinkerbell. It's not hard but I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.

>>7860473
Pretty decent, but I think you need to work on the makeup a bit? You've got a larger mouth, so some big false eyelashes, circle lenses and more subtle colours on the lips will help even out proportions and get you closer to that cute fairy look

>>7860418
10/10 on the props holy shit
The fabric parts all seem kinda off construction wise though....might be just the fabric choice?

>>7860526
Anon her eyes are already big if they get any bigger she'll look like an alien not a fairy.

>>7859997
Omg yes! That's so cool thank you so much anon it means the world that someone likes my cosplay ;__;

>>7860595
Are you even looking at the same person I am?

Posting my Winter Soldier/Bucky here.. I don't really consider it mine because I got alot of help in the process of making it, but meh... Here goes nothing.

Finished my Nightcrawler cosplay yesterday. Gonna have a photoshoot with a mystique next week, then I will borrow a dark-blue wig for more accuracy :')
(Koteddo Cosplay on fb)

>>7860899

those sad, sloppy seams on the red part though

>>7860889
Any pics where we can maybe see the costume?

You guys are actually pretty good, we should have post self threads more often because I feel a lot of people on /cgl/ are huge lying windbags.

over 6 months old but its my last costume that I'm pretty happy with haha
>>7854454
dude if you ever make one of those books that seem to be hip right now I would buy one in a second
>>7855077
I wish I could see the rest of your costume it looks so cute! I have a soft spot for madoka cosplays
>>7854690
OH NO i'M IN LOVE

>>7860979
Fabulous

>>7860609
Marry me

>>7860979
Oh shit I've seen you on DA before!

>>7860546
thanks anon! yea, i found it very challenging to sew these types of fabric and i shouldve used other kinds.

>>7860979
pixytery?

>>7861133
doesn't look anything like her

>>7858521
People will be picky, good job on making anything I think.

>>7854168
I don't think my face is really suited for her, but I'd always wanted to cosplay Dr. Mrs. The Monarch so I'm proud I was finally able to make it.

>>7861636
I like it, I love her too. I like that you didn't use shiny latex fabric!

>>7861636
You are the cutest human being I have ever seen holy shit

My first time wearing lolita ever. My coord still needs A LOT of work, but I'm so in love with this dress!

>>7856362

>>7862210
I like the dress even if the sky is washing out your hair in the photo's exposure

>>7860651
Regarding circle lenses, she could use some fake lashes and shit like that but not circle lenses

I might as well post as I am happy with this costume. It doesn't show the whole costume but you get the point.
>>7859521
I was really impressed as usual with this, you look awesome and tidy sewing.

>>7862308
As a side/unrelated note, if people want cheap bridal satin (that I used here) I'm happy to put up a link to the taobao store as well.

I worked really hard on this, my one big project of the year and my first LL cosplay.
I'm happy I made this, I had a lot of fun wearing it with my Umi.

>>7855295
I love this, I think I might of met you briefly with Yenra @ Otakon

>>7856360
I thought this was real at first and was very scared! You are adorable!

>>7862210
I love this print!

Just pop into the store gallery and theyre all categorised by color. It's very cheap and very thick and matte.

>>7862352
> tfw there's more and more DIY material being added to my order
> tfw my country taxes fabric
O-Oh well.

>>7862356
Ah! I'm sorry anon;;

>>7862364
At least it's better and still cheaper than the local stuff. The fabric in your picture looks really nice.

>>7862370
It's really good quality at least, I see similar stuff in my country for $30+... I hope you enjoy it if you get some!
Anyway back on topic~

Not the best picture but it's like the only one I have and the only one while I'm wearing the armor! I made both of these! Hello fellow E*S ladies!>>7854779

no, I was trying to take a picture closer to the mirror (on my knees) but the lighting was awful so I gave up, idk why I thought it would be a good idea to begin with
Heres another with the sax colorway and you can actually see my face

DeviantArt? I don't think I posted any of my satsuki there...where did you see it haha

>>7862734
I looked through my fav's and it looked like you but not quite, unless you have a secondary satsuki outfit of her in regular dress.

http://samuel-havana.deviantart.com/art/I-m-ready-to-fight-when-you-are-452766309

She has deep brown, your eyes are blueish. Also what was it like wearing such a skimpy outfit? I ask because of reasons.

>>7862939
>Check the comments
>she's 1.68
>i'm 1.98
>I could literally play gamagori.

This my Nelliel cosplay. I finished her for Colossalcon this year but haven't been able to wear it since because my skull headpiece broke on the way home. :/

>>7862940
Cosplay him anyway.
I'm 5'0 (1.52) and cosplay mako, I keep trying to convince either my 6'1" (1.85) boyfriend or his 6'7" (2.01) friend to cosplay gamagori but neither one has done so yet.

>>7863599
Yeah but the thing is I am not Aryan enough and have a nice 5'o clock shadow in the darkest of brown hairs.

>>7862577
>>7862707
Its not my room
>blouse looks too dark
That's why I switched to the sax colorway with pink blouse
>swept bangs don't suit you
Why not? And what else would you suggest? I have a manly face, its not like anything else will be much more suitable
>longer socks
They're utks, what's wrong with them?
>wear makeup
I am. I guess its hard to tell because its low res, but im definitely wearing an appropriate amount of makeup

>>7863636
Ah gotcha. I've seen some decent gamagoris that use blonde wigs (thought when they use wig fibers for the eyebrows it looks a bit... intense)
As for shaving I can see why that would be a bother for you. I always felt bad for the guys at my highschool who had super fast growing facial hair that before school let out they would have teachers nagging them to shave their scruff when they had already shaved that morning.

>>7863645
I agree with the swept bangs. You want to go more for a tapering-to-the-side fringe than the solid side swept look.
Your socks are super boring and plain, without any print or trim - with a printed dress, they're kinda eh. I think sock toppers would be a nice addition.

>>7863675
They're just what I had available
I want the matching socks and headbow because I think super match-y coords are really cute even if they're ridiculously overdone.
First and second time ever wearing lolita too, so, could've been worse

>>7863580

No idea what this is. Greeat scenery. Nice skull too.

>>7862549

Cute. Not sure about purple hair really, but I'm not much of a lolita.

>>7862462

Well done. I like how those wigs look.

>>7860979
Nice.
Crazy shoulders too. It's great.
Here. The first costume that I made almost entirely alone. (Other than belts, shoes, tights, that sort of thing) Even had to cut the stupid wig a bit cause my help was...... Not very helpful.

>>7864262
>>7864262
Thank you! It's Nelliel Tu Oderschwank from Bleach. I put a lot of work into my skull. It's base is styrofoam and the rest is sculpted out of paperclay.

>>7862939
Yeah thats not me but I do love her costume!
I'm actually wearing a bodysuit that I made under the costume so I'm almost totally covered but it was way better than I expected. No crazy people encountered and according to my handlers minimal ass-shots

>>7864585
But it's so flat why would anyone...

Anyway, that bodysuit is a really cool idea. Did you just order a zentaisuit somewhere in your complexion?

My favorite costume I did this summer. SnK may be overrated and the fandom crazy but I had fun running around as Potato Girl.

>>7865621
Fill in your eye brows next time.

>>7858454
If you would have never said this was a "50's version of Corpse Bride" I would have never known. You just look like some girl having a very causal wedding.

I look like shit in it, but I look like shit all the time so that's okay - I still feel really good about this costume, considering I made it in all of 9 hours the night before the event. It could be better, but considering the time it also could have been so much worse.

>>7865686
Thank you, I never think to do it with brown wigs because I don't irl. My hair is ashy brown so my brows look lighter with red undertones.

>>7865721
Fuck yeah, Soul Calibur

>>7865754

Fuck yeah, fuck yeah Soul Calibur!! II was my absolute favorite of the series, so I'm hoping to go back and fix what's wrong on this costume so I can wear it again. Here's a bit of what I did on the back; I cut stencils for every dragon on this costume to make sure the designs were consistent. This is the one I made for the back!

>>7865763
Mine too! I did Xianghua's blue outfit 5 years ago. I did stencils for the painting too. So many intricate designs!

>>7863580
love this, everything is so well done <3

>>7861037

I do anon I do!

>>7860979
wow this is very nice, what did you make the base of the 2 shoulder pieces out of?

>>7865051
no I bought dance tights at a store and then altered them so all the seams are hidden under the lines of my costume~

>>7866123
Insulation foam! Grabbed some progress photos for you anon~

Really happy that this turned out to be pretty much a free cosplay since all i need were bobby pins for the bows! I really hope next time I can get my bf to be Nozaki with me!

>>7866183
Heck yes a Nozaki-kun cosplay! Those bows need to be rounder though. Yours are too flat if that makes sense.

>>7865964
Thank you! Once I fix my skull up I plan on weathering the outfit a bit and I'm losing weight which always helps everything look better. :)

>>7866167
>not putting a trashbag under your cutting area.
Pleb!

I'm gonna use yoga mats and cutting them to shape for my jetstream sam cosplay, are there any foams I should look out for to guerantee sucess?

>>>/diy/705639

>>7859521

I want to be fabulous with you. i am working on my Pompadour for my Josuke Cosplay. i never seen a josuke with actual hair. so i am doing it.

>>7866167
I did not expect this

>>7855855
Wonderful Flonne!

>>7866183
That's adorable! We need more Nozaki-kun cosplay.

>>7866580
thank you!!!!

>>7866297
Kiwi cosplayer? Man, without being able to dive into glue and other things the idea of doing a pomp that impressive becomes terrifying. I wish you luck.
>>7862308
Your snow is cute as fuck and really well done. I remember years ago when we stayed at the same person's place for an armageddon, how far we've come since back then.

>>7868041
Thank you so much for the compliment! I adore all your costumes so much.
Ahaha that was so awkward but we've grown out of our shells a lot now which is great!

>>7866183
bring a hand fan like the ones they give out at cons with 2 different expressions from the show

Garnet from steven universe. About to go to a con now.

Captain Teemo on duty! The helmet and blowgun are the only things I am really proud of on this costume, my sewing skills suck :(

>>7868622
Takes big balls to go to a bar as Teemo.

Me as Asuka. Sadly my boobs are too small to properly cosplay her :( I didn't have time to make her bracers (and frankly I have no fucking idea how without having them look like shit) but it's my very first cosplay so I'm not too disappointed with it!

>>7868878
You shoulda really filled up if you play an ultra busty character.

>>7868492
That afro... Seriously?

This cosplay didn't quite fit me right (it's a little big), but I love this photo. It's Ichigo from Aikatsu.

>>7863580
What's with all the nice comments? Did we become tumblr?

>filename

The shorts weren't working the way I wanted them to so I wore my sisters.

This costume got me so much fucking attention. Way more than ones that actually had craftsmanship involved.

I wish I was being sarcastic and taking a jab, but I'm not, I've unlocked the secret to cosplay.

>>7872271
Just the right amount of stomach.

Sexy.

>>7872054
Apparently. Do you want people to rip other people's cosplays apart?

>>7872285

http://uberscosplay.deviantart.com/ but my premium just ended so its splashpage looks like crap atm. Ill renew it eventually I'm sure

This was my first cosplay that I pretty much made all myself. It's Natalia from Tales of the Abyss in one of her alternate costumes and I wore it at AWA this past year.

I'm hella late getting into cosplay and I think there's a lot I have to improve on but making the costume and the con were really fun! Can't wait to do more.

>>7880829
You're a big guy.

>>7890167
for you

>>7858556
Honestly i'm not surprised it'd creep you out but i did it to match what i felt the character would have access to. To be fair, the only thing that phased me personally was the smell, and i'm a janitor so i've smelled some shit. I didn't gag or anything just damn. It's not for everyone though, i get it.

>>7863580
Great skull
Lovely photo
I'd work on the tears at the bottom of the fabric though. They look very artificial and scissor-cut.

>>7868878
you didnt have to be bursting at the seams of your chest. You did alright, your face suits the character and thats what sells it.
Love your taste in vidya.

>>7862549
the one in the middle is adorable, 10/10 would make her morning tea

>>7863580
This isn't tumblr, your fat is coming out of your dress. Next time make something that fits better.

>>7890609
Yeah I ran out of time so I cut it quickly in the hotel room with scissors. I'm definitely going to touch up the tears a bit. I also want to weather it to make it look more battle worn

>>7863580
Skull looks like it's made out of cartboard, not convincing at all. The shredding is atrocious, obviously cut with a scissor. That shade of Christmas tree green for the fabric. The photoshopping on this... where do I even begin: the awful blurring? The highlights that are very obviously DRAWN onto the hair?

Seriously compliments are great and I'm not one for pointless bitching but this is awful? Is someone samefagging here because otherwise it can't be explained

>>7885187
i'm worried people who browse /tv/ will see me and hurt me

>>7854404
Looks good. Best shot I've seen of your costume.

>>7854779
I don't know what this is but I like it.

>>7854993
Could you please wear this while I bang you?

>>7859521
When I saw this, I was like WOW!!! Love it!

>>7885501
Looks really good.

>>7890851
I know it's not. I'm honestly surprised it took over two weeks for someone to make a fat comment. It's okay though bc I'm confident in my body. I knew what I was getting into when I posted here. You're comments don't bother me. ^^

>>7890864
Aw someone's jelly bc I know everything you said isn't true. The skull is the best part, it's one of the best nelliel skulls on the internet. This cosplay cost next to nothing bc the fabric was left over from a previous project so that comment doesn't bother me. As for post production my photographer did a great job and the highlights were already in the wig.
