Speaking of sources, can I get the source on this? Some of the construction looks iffy but she's got a great face for Mindfang imo.

>>7887019

Someone seems to really like mookie's art style..

The tag is a real goldmine right now

>>7887474

do you think this hair interpretation (very short layers and bangs) will translate well to a wig?

>>7887766
No.

>>7887811

what about it won't translate well if you don't mind me asking? i have experience with very short styles and won't cut it quite THAT short (just long enough to cover wefts) and i was thinking of adding on to the hairline for the sideburns.

>>7887903
It can be done but you need a really good wig, otherwise the wefts will show on the sides or you have to basically glue the shortest hairs down and that makes it looks shiny and shitty. You also need a full lace lined wig because otherwise the part around your ear will look like shit. The problem is that wigs like the one in the pic cost over 200 dollars. So basically unless you're super rich, >>7887811 is right

Making wands for potterstuck, I got a Dave and a Sollux one down, but I'm also making a Aradia and I've no idea what to do of that. I was thinking of doing s/t with bones? Dave's is incorperating the time cogwheel and the scratch, Sollux' is the duality theme and I'm planning on incorperating a blue and red gem type thing too on the base but idk.

>>7887903
tbh it sounds like irl the wig would just look like one of those greasy emo bang hairstyles boys have to toss out of their faces

>>7888144
How about a ram's head

>>7888596
That sounds pretty interesting! Or it just splits into a horn-shaped knob?

What I wouldn't give for a caliborn style bathtobe.

>>7890214
Sure, or make the whole wand a ram horn texture

>>7890458
creepiest, shittiest shoopjob ever

I am living the nightmare

Nice to see some canon outfits from pyropi & co. hopefully we'll see better pics soon.

>>7891503
I'm not really feeling those wings, but I love how clean everything else looks.

>>7891419
You're welcome, but your picture is pretty nightmar-ish as well.

I guess it's in the spirit of the season.

>>7891506
the wings seem fine to me?

>>7891503
Well, that's... neat, actually. After doing countless AUs she finally decided to do an actual, canonical outfit. I wonder if she's run out of AU ideas or if she just realized she never did the God TIer outfit.

>>7891503
Clean overall, but her armsocks are baggy in the wrist and the leggings seem really blue. Are they supposed to be or did it photograph badly? I know some colors are really fickle in different lighting.

>>7891519

equius's look off, they're sitting too low and really droopy. they look a little skinny too imo.

>>7891503
I like the drape of her tunic 0:

>>7892506
I liker her, but her eyebrows are bothering me. If only they were a little bit thicker

>>7892506
she has a manlier face than i do, fucking jelly of that sluts square jaw

her thighs are also more muscular than mine too :(

Thread is dead. Anyone want to bring Who Wore It Best back?

>>7894033
Yes. You may begin.

anyone seen a cosplay of this guy yet?

I've never cosplayed before, nor am I too interested in getting into the cosplay 'scene', but I've always wanted to do a one-off, just cos. feel doing this guy as a starter would be easy as fuck considering his face is covered so I won't go too thin/thick with makeup.

thoughts?

>>7894659

you'd still have to paint your arms., plus the pants,and make a mask.

why not put that effort into an actual charcter?

>>7894659
>>7894755
on top of the effort, not everyone in the fandom looks at paradox space. honestly, if i saw you at a con i would instantly assume shitty fantroll

>>7894659
Considering that page just came out one day ago.... no?

>>7894755
Because it's a first cosplay, and I feel that doing an absolutely shitty job on a 'Class A' character would just be embarrassing. Also, the mask shouldn't be too much of a problem, a burlap sack mask isn't too hard to make, or hell, buy.

>>7894784
That's unfortunate, but I am also feeling the shitty fantroll design from him anyway, maybe it's a slight joke at the fandom's expense. Also, I don't really plan on going to a con, anytime soon, I'm doing terribly financially. Ain't no jobs in Britain.

>>7894939
Man, I saw cosplays of pic related in a matter of hours of that page going up. Obviously that troll has a lot more going for 'em, so I can see the justification for doing said cosplay. The one I picked, eh, not so much. I dunno', I just like the thought of a subjugglator executioner.

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.0.0.jjqon1&id=40222733385&ns=1&abbucket=2#detail

Saw these on the taobao thread. Could be useful to someone?

>>7895949

I think it's actually a good design for a first cosplay. Enough stuff you actually have to work on (symbol, pants applique) but you get a pass on face makeup and the clothes themselves aren't tough. Go for it, anon

>humanstuck-baes.tumblr.com/

why do these kind of projects have shit taste in headcanons

Apparently welovecolors has grey armsocks for sale. My only issue with armsocks is, aren't they too shiny and don't resemble or look like skin at all? And then you'd have the lines that make it pretty clear that it is a sock.

>>7896185

the welovecolors tall gloves are super shiny and don't look like skin at all. they're not a good replacement for tights-based armsocks.

>>7896067
Thinking of auditioning for this. Just didn't get much chance to put my cosplays on lately and it seems somewhat interesting.
Thoughts?

>>7896469
I'd advise against it. Doesn't seem like there'd be much point.

>>7896185
>>7896186
Yeah I got those for a squarewave cosplay and they were so shiny. Also they were thicker than my troll armsocks and I couldn't work my fucking phone while wearing them.

>>7896067
Whoever this is needs to eat more, they look like they've been dead for a week.

Does anyone know how this style of earfin got popular? I figure it's fanart but it's such a strange design to see everywhere

>>7896558
>they look like they've been dead for a week.
About that, anon.

Our of curiosity, do you sort by most recent or most popular?

>>7897102
>>7897105
Most recent, instead of /search/ i use /tagged/ so that its most recent.

Also this one is the last one i have, i may go back and get some more though.

>>7887132
ITT: Too much spoiler for me...

>>7896726
>>7896866
>>7897093
No but really, it looks nothing like those things. Those are more like feathers so honestly this just looks like some cop-out method of not buying fins. How are they even attached?

>>7897099
why do people freehand symbols
why

>>7897120
I think in the beginning it was based on some fanart with axolotl fin things. And from there i think they just got simplified.

If they were ever done well i would like them, but they are not. Though i still hate the stupid mermaid ears that people buy. I find them to be really boring.

>>7897134
I would like the mermaid ears, but I think they just look very not-organic most of the time because it's the same set you see everywhere. >>7897109 looks interesting, but I want to see a better picture before I say anything definite.

I like pic related, but I haven't really seen the method done as well by anyone else. Probably because no one else has really managed to hide the edge as well.

more fins

>>7897102
Sauce on this karkat?

>>7897170
homovegetables (.tumblr.com) I was suprised when i saw them, i had never seen them before and they're a pretty good karkat (then again it's just the neck up)

Mini dump tag dump to add on to what i already posted.

>>7897198

>>7897199
Just went through homovegetable my cosplay tag, and it was overwhelmingly disappointing, no full body pic or anything and they also cosplayed the notebook from "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared".

>>7897202
Last one, again.

>>7897142
What fins are these? I have the common mermaid fins but. I never liked them too much on my Feferi.

>>7897202
Why are there no decent Dualscars.

>>7897387
She made them herself.

>>7897387
They made them custom. Here the tutorial;
http://meimrr.tumblr.com/post/28481956851/edit-some-people-may-be-allergic-to-latex-so

I used the tutorial as a guidline, but for mine(aka the one i made because i'm a lazy sack of shit) i didn't use tinfoil, i just layered liquid latex.

whats reccomended for sealing horns?
ive used mod podge but lint and other crap gets stuck to it! im making terezi horns with sculpey and was thinking about using the sculpey glaze to seal it once im done, but has anyone had any experience with sculpey glaze? or is there something else you guys can suggest?

>>7897522
Mod podge isn't a good sealant (maybe not even a sealant at all), it doesn't ever completely dry and will get wet again if water/ gets on it. I learned that the hard way when i decided to be a retard to seal my shoes with it, needless to say when it rained my shoes turned white because the mod podge reactivated.

I don't know about about sculpey glaze, but i would say try it out and if it doesn't work try going to home depot or micheals or w/e and look at their glazes.

>>7897522
Any acrylic sealer will be fine. Just don't get it in gloss.

>>7897557
i thought shiny horns looked nice?

>>7897557
>>7897538
thanks

>>7897560

gloss sealant goes beyond shiny into super high shine. you better sand the shit out of your horns if you're applying that.

>>7896726
it was fanart. if she didn't start it, then tumblr user fefairi at least popularized it. how recent is that cosplay picture? because a somewhat popular feferi cosplayer made the fins several months ago and did a tutorial on them. kind of looks like that cosplayer used the tutorial

>>7897538
I'd rather use clear nail polish than mod podge, it's garbage.

The comic updated.

To keep it cosplay related, well, at least we know that Caliborn actually does own and wear a fedora. And... there was a short sleeve Karkat but I'm pretty sure that was just a case of inconsistency in his depiction.

>>7898155
That was an artist fuck-up, Karkat having a long sleeve shirt is pretty well established. It doesn't really look bad though.

Update cosplays alredy emrging. Gonna post a mini dump

>>7898390

>>7898391

Any BNFs doing Homestuck cosplay at Youma?

>>7898155
>>7898213
Another artist mistake which will lead to cosplays reflecting it, but Karkat could ostensibly just be wearing short sleeves right now for some reason, it's less irritating than Latula's inexplicable flat teeth that every cosplay does for some reason (meanwhile there are Aradias with shark fangs for even less reason...maybe inaccurate shape is just a personal pet peeve)

He was wearing long sleeves in an earlier shot in the flash, so probably not.

>>7899275
What an adorable Jade. Sauce?

>>7899425

>>7900685
Smotth out those horns.

Also a moment of silence for those lips.

>>7900685
Smooth out the horns.

Also a moment of silence for those lips.

>>7900786
Its not the lips. Its the chin.

This just looks so much like an innuendo, I really wish they'd done it in a setting which didn't make it look like a meetup shoot gone wrong.

>>7901128
and people wonder why so many of us stopped going to phillystuck.

Did that tryhard Dave move on to shitty human Caliborn or is that just me.

Actually pretty cute.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IF_vSLaNDo4
Why do people keep doing this.
Were there ever a cosplay music video which was actually good?

>>7901150

>#gay couple

>>7901150
I'm a little surprised at the quality of the video itself, it's not ocmplete trash but I hate how her mouth looks.

Ah yes, the Homestuck character "pastel goth Nepeta".

>>7901169
Well they get credit for at least not stooping to cellphone camera quality or shaky handheld stuff. The Meenah and Feferi look okay (even though Meenah look like, twelve), Eridan... could have been worse. Cronus is just disappointing but frankly what Cronus isn't.

>>7901134
Basically. I happened to be near Rittenhouse yesterday and got to see the depressing remaining pieces up close. Nothing of value was lost.

>>7901173
What are the key components to having a good community anyway? Good moderators?

Another thrilling game of "guess the Homestuck cosplay"!

>>7901173
same. definitely had a good cringe from a distance.

>>7901179
I think that's definitely part of it, and the pure luck of a decent demographic is good too. There will always be outliers, like teenagers that behave perfectly well and 21+ year old drama-burdened douche bags, but we all know how it works by now.

The younger the crowd, the less tolerable the community is for non-high schoolers. The Phillystuck crowd got very young.

>>7901183
Wow, I got nothin'.

Humanstuck zombiestuck Aradia?

Whats the Jersey Crowd like?
I bought a big ass bottle of Amsterdam and Im throwing a party as Roxy on Friday. Am I a bad hs'er?

>>7901183
karate kid!jade......?

>>7901210
>>7901231
Nope, zombiestuck nepeta.

>>7899315
True. You know, if they buy a short sleeved official shirt instead of badly painting their own long sleeved, it'd even be a positive thing. I still can't believe a good chunk of this fandom hasn't figured out how to do something as simple as painting a shirt neatly.

>>7901150
This isn't bad, all things considered.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q_jGwcNuGY is probably the best homestuck CMV imo

>>7901337
I really miss Cifera cosplaying as Rose.

>>7901130

hey, i saw this earlier! aside from the sideburnd (which they plan on fixing,apparently) and the hoodie (they wore it because it was cold or something?) i really like this cronus

>>7901337
Best shot of the video, pic related.

>>7901141
Not really cute at all. Pic kinda related.

>>7901773
Better than a lot, yeah. Their proportions look kind of weird, though. Or is that just me?

>>7901151
Aside from the wings, this is probably the best Rufioh I've seen so far.

>>7901151
I can't unsee the face the lampposts make behind his wing.

>>7897569
i ended up getting americana acrylic sealer in satin. the gloss is a good balance, and it wasnt tacky so im happy.

>>7902117
What's wrong with the wings? They're simple but they're clean. TBH they're better than every other Rufioh I've ever seen too.

>>7901147
Is this MCM? October expo never fails to disappoint.

>>7902222
The shape is good from what I can see and the fabric also looks good, but I HATE that black border.

>>7902111
I think it's a combo of the pants possibly being really low, and the long-ish jackets.

>>7902196
God fucking dammit now i see it too.

>>7902551
All of this trashy shoop. Why are people so desperate to make an update cosplay when it always looks like shit? What's the point of being first when you could be decent instead?

>>7902563
Well... interestingly, because it's Homosuck, the goal would be to look as shitty as possible, but at the same time it has to be done well, so that it's a "so bad it's good" or "so bad but fits the Homosuck kind of bad" if that makes any sense. Like, I remember seeing someone making a huge cardboard cutout of Homosuck Dave and the pornography sword, and then you had one Rose who had a sloppy symbol and green lines and a green claw mouse cursor to suggest Caliborn clicking on her.

This however, is just... unimpressive bad, not Homosuck bad.

>>7902548
I like her earfins, but everything else is either shoop-y or missing/incorrect.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9IgOwMbzr0

Literally, painted herself fucking blue.
Why in gods name???

>>7903798
It's like she heard the tip to use a little bit of blood color in your make up and just went completely overboard.

>>7903798
someone get this girl a makeup sponge. this took 10x longer for her to do than it should have

>>7903798
Gurl if it's your first attempt then WHY are you giving people advice?

So I realize I've lost my armsocks and I'm not really up to making another pair.
I know they're short, but are these otherwise good?
http://www.welovecolors.com/Shop/ShoulderGloves.htm

>>7901150
There are parts which are like, okay. As in they could pass in a ordinary music video. Then they're immediately followed by something really awkward.
Especially when condy looks like she's fourteen.
The standing full body shots are especially awkward because it's like none of them know what they're actually doing with their bodies, not to mention the attempts at getting all of Condy's horns into the frame.

There are also parts where they literally looks like the're doing stock movements from the sims which is fucking weird.

Does anyone have pictures of Kibs and Dei in their Alpha kids outfits? I swear they cosplayed Dave and Jade a while ago but I can't find any photos.

>>7903798
It's not blue, ben nye liquid paint like shes using is just SUPER blue toned grey. It sucks.

>>7904220
Here's Kisbe as Dave, but that's not Dei.

>>7904292
But here's Dei as Rose.

>>7904208
They're really not. WLC's armsocks have a very noticable shine.

>>7904295

I'm not sure what bothers me the most about this.

>>7906591
Everything

>>7906591
Someone needs to tell "him" that it's standard practice that when you shoop your eyes yellow not to also shoop your teeth yellow.

>>7906591
>the sufferer doesn't have a beard
>that fraying 'cape'

>>7906615
I agree that the costume is really ragged and lazy, but "the scrufferer" is a pretty common headcanon. You can't tell if his silhouette has stubble anyway.

>>7906651
Headcanon doesn't mean it looks good. There are ways to do a beard well. Stroking your chin up with eyeliner isn't one of them.

>>7899322
anymore of her?

>>7906665
Yes, but no one likes her cosplays. They're only posted for cringe purposes.

>>7906669
Really? What else has she done? I mean her cosplay seems pretty simple but not overly bad like a lot of other's I've seen.

>>7906674
This absolutely has to be a vendetta-chan trying to stir up shit by being blindly interested in an objectively poor cosplay. Either that or you just have truly shit-tier taste.
>hot topic gloves
>bad shoop
>women's jeans
>form fitting shirt
>too-short horns with bad paint

>>7906674
Different anon but she does a lot of signless cosplay. Personally I don't think she's bad (her cape is always nice at least), but her makeup and boots tend to throw the whole thing off.

>>7906688
Honestly not, just curious is all.

>>7906689
Yea I honestly feel the same way when I see some of her stuff. But her other cosplays outside of homestuck aren't that bad at all honestly.

>>7887132
Why is the op the same shitty cosplayers and the same shitty photo set every fucking time?

>>7907812
How are they shitty? They're a pretty neatly done group of betas.

>>7906689
what is that kankri's wig supposed to be doing?

>>7907819
>Rose is a landwhale,
>jade has a man chin and a shitty shiny unstyled wig (edit actually all of them bar john have enormous weird ass inbred chins)
>dave is very obviously a woman and has made absolutely no effort to hide their shape
>John.. where so I start.. look at that fucking face, the shoulders, like what the fuck is going on?

On the whole, the photo's editing, the vignette, the burn-victim smooth faces and yellow skin.

It's a disaster, I agree with >>7907812

>>7907819
Terrible over-saturation in Photoshop, weird awkward posing and facial expressions, muffin tops everywhere and lazy liquifying tool used on rose's waist and everyone elses jaw line.

Also would it kill Rose to iron her costume and for jade, dave and rose to style their wigs? They look so flat and straight out of the bag.

Can we please have a couple of different op's every now and again? It always seems like the same group of cosplayers self posting over and over.

>>7907942
it's more the photogs fault than the cosplayers'

can i /r/ good johns? specifically, johns with good wigs? out of op's picture, john in particular has been depressing me and i'd like to see some good ones.

>>7904292
That's Dei

>>7907923
>landwhale
>man chin
>what.jpg
I agree it's stupid to have the same group twice in a row but you're taking it kind of far. That being said, can you explain what's wrong with the vignette and skin tone? I edit photos too and I'm worried that I don't really see a problem with this.

In other news:
>Cleanest Dualscar armor I've ever seen
>Everything else about that cosplay

So close yet so far.

>>7908540
Yeah, I don't see any of it except Dave's bad passing and John's unstyled wig. Anon sure was thirsty for salt.

>>7908540
Those boots.

>>7904292
I can't believe no one's talked about how bad this alpha Dave is. I'd expect so much more from a BNF, especially one that's been nominated for god tier. The craftsmanship on their more challenging cosplays is excellent, so how could they fuck up the simplest HS cosplay out there?

>>7908890
Yeah I was going to chalk this up to nitpick, but then I looked closer at the wig, earring, symbol, and.... I got nothin'. I guess every cosplayer has a bad day.

>>7908540
>dang thats a really nice dualscar for a chan-
>those boots.png

god DAMN IT CAN THERE NEVER BE A GOOD DUALSCAR

>>7901150
NOW I KNOW WHY HER COSPLAY MAKES ME FEEL WEIRD. It's her teeth, she's using tooth black and it's making her mouth look like it's filled with oil. She needs those fake teeth things instead.

I am genuinely shocked we haven't seen any FIRST! cosplays of the new game troll or Joey yet. Where are these slackers?

>>7910203
Those cosplays were FIRSTed a long time ago, bruh.

>>7910246
The newest game troll just came out yesterday, bruh.

>>7910280
Weren't those pics really small though? Not that bad refs have ever stopped anyone but could be they're waiting for that troll to get more attention. I know if I were to see that design cosplayed I'd think it were just a fantroll whereas the new kid and troll main characters were immediately recognizable.

>>7910314
Yes and his blood color hasn't been released, but I'm still surprised someone hasn't jumped all over it given fandom's past stupidity.

>>7910280

I think if we knew his blood color or symbol we would have. As it is we don't have either. Even FIRST fanbrats aren't that dumb.

i need help.
ive always had an issue with this!
everytime i do troll make up, my eyelashes are a greyed/baby powdered color. i cosplay male trolls, so when i try to hide it with mascara, my eye brows look too feminine. any other ways to ride the color? its really distracting if i dont.

>>7910439
For lashes, just use a light touch. Unless you've been blessed with xxx-long xxx-thick lashes, one quick sweep across the bottom should darken without extending too much. if you screwed it up, just wipe some of the mascara off.

For eyebrows, just fill them in more until they look masculine. You should be doing this anyway.

Hmm is vintage-aerith back into homestuck?

Youmacon's this weekend, right? Think we'll get any good cosplays out of it?

>>7910453
That's a great portrait

>>7910453
Hate the way those center bangs are cut. I wish she hadn't slanted them like that.

>>7911702
I don't like tulip bangs either, but isn't the slant canonical?

>>7911800
Canonically they come to more of a point; these are slanted completely in one direction instead of being even on both sides. Imo that makes it look like a sloppy cutting job, like they just held up that section and snipped across it and called it a day.

>>7910445
i have no idea why i wrote eyebrows i meant lashes again. but thanks for the help anyways.

>>7908109
Im not even sure good John wigs exist

whats the best fabric to makea good eridan cape?

>>7911993
Something that's the right color. That material isn't bad but jesus christ, why are there so many Eridans in Gamzee purple?

>>7911988
I've always liked crowmunists wig but I wish they had more pictures of it

>>7912077
>starts looking for more john cosplayers
>flips through folder
>gives google a try
>encounters this monstrosity as the second fucking google image result for "john egbert cosplay"
Yeah. That's enough internet for today.

>>7912083

Same group as OP's pic

>>7912116
Is there any dirt on this group to share? Since anons keep bringing them up, there must be some kind of gossip.

>>7912168
I don't think so, it was just in my folder and I liked the Johns wig. A lot of John cosplayers have spikes that are really stringy or badly shaped so it's hard to find nice ones. Plus a lot of them take pictures with their hood up like pic related and that hides the wig too.

>>7912168
the rose is a huge idiot. i remember a couple of years ago some posts where she was crying that as a white girl she was a victim of reverse racism or something

>>7912254
Proof? If you're gonna gossip at least do it right or it just sounds like vendetta.

You seem to be pretty upset about a photo that was taken 3 years ago of people who don't even cosplay anymore.

>>7912116
Are you sure? Jade and John look like completely different people?

>>7913071
Wigs will do that to a person. The Jade and John from OP's pic swapped characters here.

>>7912074
yeah but im new to fabrics and am not sure which direction to go to/what fabric i should avoid.
i was wanting something with a satin finish but not too shiny of course. i also saw this cape tutorial talking about bottom heavy fabrics and what not.

diggin the roxy, and the jane has potential. the rest were kinda shit.

>>7913396
so thats where this pic came from

So in light of the Paradox Space comic, which I'm not going to discuss, I've had people say that the Cronus hate transfers onto roleplayers, fanartists, cosplayers etc. in way of harassment and similar. I haven't really seen anyone come forth and say they got legitimately harassed on account of being a Cronus cosplayer.

So here goes, has anyone here experienced harassment based on the character they cosplayed as? And not as in "waah someone told me to fuck off because of my nazistuck!Gamzee!!", but just because of your choice in character. Cronus in specific, I guess, but I'm curious about other characters as well.

>>7913451
my friend went to a meet up with me as vriska and she said a lot of people treated her like a bitch and she didnt have a good time.

>>7913451

i've had people (meaning, mostly bad dirks) approach me and hit on me because i cosplay jake. i just nervously laugh and say "uh, no, bye..." and leave when they do. i've also had people asking me to twerk for them and again, i just said "uh, no." and ignored the person.

there's been quite a few times people have genuinely approached me to say nice things, the creepiness has happened a lot less tbh, but i remember the weird creepers more.

>>7913482
I can vouch for this, yep. I've seen people pass Vriska cosplayers in convention hallways and call them a bitch pretty loudly.

>>7913451
I cosplay Cronus and though I've never gotten outright hate I HAVE gotten a lot of... Suggestive people. Taking in-character flirts too far and such. Inappropriate things said, even a few unrequited touches-slash-gropes but nothing too awful. Just things which was awkward or a bit uncomfortable.

>>7913619
Also there's your share of people who say things along the lines of "oh I HATE that character, but your cosplay is good!" Which is just rude and kind of backhanded. I obviously liked this character enough to put money and time into cosplaying him so that's a bit insulting.

>>7912168

They're all just sjw dykes and have a bad rap for crying reverse racist, sexism and being sluts.

Also just generally unattractive and fat while selfposting here constantly

>>7913060
not even mad, just hate seeing the same group as OP every time

>>7913658
>unattractive and fat
>sjw dykes
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, do you? I've never heard anyone shade this group so intensely and I've been in these threads for years. They aren't even into Homestuck anymore, so unless you have real damage, quit shitting up the thread with your vendetta.

>>7913697
This. The Big Ben image does make its way into these threads a lot, but "every single OP image" is an exaggeration especially when coupled with a bunch of "omg so fat" vendetta.

>>7913660
Wow I think that's the first time I've ever seen a Roxy troll. Not bad.

>>7913741
That Dave looks twelve.

>>7913660
The cosplays themselves are neat and crisp but the Roxy always confused me, the super dark fins, the sleeves, as well as the scarf for some reason (but i think its just the colour that i don't like with the scarf).

I feel like this may be a little bit nit-picky

>>7913770
Nah, I see what you're saying. It's not really bad, but it's a pretty boring design.

>>7913770
I'd like the scarf if it was the right colour purple. Based on Eridan and Feferi, it makes sense for the seadwellers to have extra accessories.

>>7913741
is there a reason that juice box is crammed into their fly

>>7913795
because tumblr

>>7913482
>>7913618

Why do people even do this?

>>7914187
It's a serious thing in some places if you cosplay a character of a different hemotype than you would be, given your birth sign. Like, people will at the very least insult you directly and non-stop on instagram and tumblr. It's kind of harsh, since I don't like any of the characters with my sign. I would just lie about it, but there's already too much online about me that people in my community would search out and post if I tried.

>>7914210
I've never heard of zodiac sign harassment. Is that actually a thing? Is your community full of stuckaboo retards?

>>7914210
What the fuck?

And people wonder why the fandom has a rock bottom reputation.

I know I saw SOME zodiac hate, not direct p2p but rather as some "PSA" post. That was once, though and could very well have been a troll.

>>7913626
Actually not rude to some people, I cosplay characters I hate or don't care about because I like their design, so if someone said this to me I'd be quite happy.

I don't think there are too many Caliborn cosplayers running around because they think Caliborn is an amazing character. They probably do it because of the challenge.

>>7913482
>>7913618

wow and there we have it
people forgetting that under that isnt actually vriska
>>7914210
what the hell???
ive never heard of this.

>>7914210
that's fucking ridiculous. though I've seen people who say you can't cosplay/rp/post makaras, serkets, or amporas around them because it "triggers" them and if you do anyway they flip out.
the concentration of autism in the homestuck fandom is almost intolerable sometimes. i hope these people at least grow up to look back on these years with utter disgust.

>>7915589
Mindfang and Cronus are canonically rapists. It's not some kind of hysterical overeaction to be triggered by those characters. Being politely asked not to intentionally cause someone to have a PTSD or anxiety attack is really not unreaonable, and if you ignore it, you deserve to get flipped out on.

>>7915716
if you can't be near a costume of a certain character without having a breakdown you need to stop cosplaying and use those funds to get professional help

>>7915722
Just like people with a peanut allergy should just never leave their home since they can't perfectly control everyone else's behavior. Like it would obviously be their own fault if some wacky prankster shoved a fistfull of peanut butter into their mouth, just as a funny joke. If they can't have a better immune system that won't attack itself in a situation like they, should just be locked up in an intitution for their own safety.

>>7915731
woah there watch out that description of peanut butter rape may trigger someone here

>>7915731
Except a picture of a peanut isn't hurting them. Seeing someone wearing a peanut costume shouldn't hurt them either. Unless one of these oppressed Tumblr teens has been assaulted by someone in a Mindfang/Cronus cosplay, there is no reason for them to find that cosplay triggering.

>>7915716
>Cronus
>Canonically a rapist

I think you need to re-read the actual logs from the game instead of just buying into what fandom thinks. Ignoring your poor reading comprehension skills, are you seriously going to tell someone they can't cosplay a character at a convention because they make you uncomfortable? Get help please.

>>7915807

And who gives a fuck even if he is? Anime is full of rapists, murders and oh yeah villains. It's like tumblrbrats think they've been watching Care Bears or something, if no one is allowed to like characters that are shitty people.

>>7915716
(bait?) by that logic pretty much all villains are off limits, since mass murder/genocide is also pretty serious offense. you cant dictate what other people can/cant do as long as they leave you alone.

So I frequent cons around the midwest area, and I've seen this Mindfang (left) around for quite a few years.

I went to Nebraskon this past weekend and she was there, but there was also this weird looking bootleg of her outfit wandering around as well

>>7916038
Not really following why you think this is a bootleg, other than the waist sash/accessories. Everything else is different.

>>7916038
yeah, probably took a good bit of inspiration but its not a total copy.

>>7916038
i'm not entirely sure you understand the concept of bootleg

>>7916657
maybe anon is girl on the left and is mad that someone is encroaching upon her territory?

>>7916038

ok, but that spider though

>>7916660
i'm not trying to defend the one on the right, because there seem to be a lot of questionable choice and overall messiness going on there, but what is to encroach? It's variations on the same damn character designs, of course there are going to be fucking similarities. It's like if the first mindfang cosplayer complaining everyone after her was copying her idea and design.

>>7916660
Pretty sure you got it right here. Tbh left mindfang isn't that great herself so I don't know why anyone would copy her.

Anyone have any real knockoffs to post? I always get a kick out of seeing failed copies.

>>7916777
Months ago there was a knockoff of the design dersedreamer and angryjaeger used for their Derse Dirk and Dave cosplays. It was pretty mediocre. Anyone know the pic I mean? I don't think I saved it.

>>7916838
I know what you're talking about, anon, but I can't find it in the archives.

>>7887132
What return? The last update is from 07.

>>7916928
The comic returned about a few weeks ago on the 17th.

>>7916930
Anon is being a smartass and referring to the original Bard Quest/Jail Break comics. It's not even a good joke since Problem Sleuth (definitely under the MSPA umbrella) updated in '09.

>>7916862
I think this is it.

>>7916967
>76 kb
It's a picture for ants, isn't it. Sage because that's what I get for surfing cgl on my phone.

>>7916969
Nope looks fine to me

>>7916967
Wow that's worse than I remember. What the fuck is going on with those boots?

/r/ing more shitty knockoffs, keep em coming.

>>7917015
Not exactly a knockoff, but a lot of aradiabots take their cues from Cifera's old cosplay.

>>7917275
Haven't a lot of Disciples taken inspiration from cifera as well?

>>7917287
Eh it doesn't really strike me the same way since Cifera's Disciple is so simple. It's the same with the so-called "knockoff" Mindfang upthread - all cosplays are going to look the same when they're of the same character with no variation.

>>7917898
They're cute, but i'm not a fan of Kanaya's wig

>>7917898
Both wigs are terrible but Kanaya's horns are nice. Her eyes are really far apart though.

>>7916937
I was being serious, last week when I checked, all of the updates were pre 08

>>7918041
No they aren't, that's just the perspective.
And even if they were far apart you're an idiot for trying to nitpick at a feature someone can't control.

>>7918119
What does this comment even mean? Homestuck didn't exist in 2008.

>>7918326
If that is so, then I must be from an alternate timeline, or communicating across timelines.

Can someone tell me what page the actual war starts on? I want to be able to finish reading, and haven't read since 2010 ish, and that was as far as I got.

>>7918344
Look out, guys, we got ourselves an inter-dimensional timetraveler here. So in your universe, is Dave a blonde or a redhead?

>>7918364
I recall dirty blond hair.

>>7918320
We point out physical flaws all the time. Are you new?

>>7915731
>>7915738

>>7918326
I understand this cosplay, seeing as how Sollux and Inumuta are both computer guys and all, but it's still weird to look at. At least without a group.

>>7918679
I'd be interested in seeing a crossover group or at least fanart, but I have a hard time matching up the other elites with trolls? I mean maybe Equius=gamagori, but I don't see it for nonon or sanagayama

>>7918695
I've seen some screencap edits of Equius as Gamagoori, Aradia as Nonon, and... I don't think I saw a screencap edit of Sanageyama, or at least I swear I did but can't find it, but Terezi could be a good choice considering they're both blind for the most part.

>>7918623

>>7918364
>that one person in white just shrugging

What the heck

>>7916967
The top and bottom not matching is what bugs me the most.

>>7917898
Rose's wig in particular really bugs me for some reason. I think it's the side swept bangs.

New thread:

tbh i kind of wish we didnt as much. some people have really nice cosplays but if their fuckin ears a little big its nit picked to hell. but its /cgl/ so
