/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>7939188
Only thing I care about is who will win Madman.

>>7939188
keeping a cgl thread drama free...?

>>7939303

107% impossible

>>7939299
I'm hoping Will doesn't win. He's had his spotlight for long enough.

Big armour just doesn't impress me anymore, and his skits have always been rather lacklustre.

>>7939347
It makes it unfair to people who want to start out too. I want to enter Madman but feel like I shouldn't bother as he is always competing and will no doubt win over me.

>>7939371
It should work like WCS where if you win, you shouldn't be allowed to enter during the next two years.

>>7939371
If you want to do something, then do it. Don't shift the blame to other people.

>>7939371
You sound like a loser already. You won't even try? He doesn't enter every year anyway. Don't let other entrants hold you back, no one's going to hand you a win on a plate. It's good to enter a competition and have it actually be competitive. Look at the sydney round this year, basically no contest.

>>7939371

>people who want to start out too.

On that question, how do you people start out?

It seems like a very time intensive and costly hobby, not something that's easy to just pick up and do,

>>7940125
Start out with easy costumes with no props, gradually start getting more complex and learning new skills. Yes it is time intensive and expensive, especially when you consider that most people only wear each costume once or twice.

>>7940137
can you blame them when that one girl gets torn to shred on cgl because she cosplays the same character over and over

>>7940137

Some girl on my fb is obsessive with this kind of stuff, she goes to all the Melbourne thingo's and posts the pics on Facebook, and yeh they are all different.

I can only imagine the amount of money she spends...

Anybody see that Beethy is into nudes now?

>>7941100
Beethy's always done nudes now and then. I liked the last one he did.

>>7940360
Not blaming anyone, I do the same thing even thought I know it's ridiculous.
Some hobbies are more expensive, but you might be collecting things that will resell for more in the future. The only benefit of cosplay is the skills you learn.

>>7941106
His nudes harken back to his old stuff (findable on deviantart)

>>7941100
where have you been, he's done nudes before he even started cosplay photography :/

>>7940125
Find friends and start with them. Know what you can and can't do, try to improve on your skills with each cosplay, and try not to cause dramu.

>>7944881

Nah, im not actually interested in participating or anything, im just wondering from an outside perspective, I find the communities at those kinds of things way too weird.

That being said i do like viewing and watching those kinds of events when its in town, i think its just because im a bit of a histrionic, i like things pretending to be things they aren't.

I'll just leave this here

>>7946896
(why even photoshop regular photos? have they both just expanded to such giant landmasses that they can't even show their normal faces anymore?)

Me and my kawaii fiance don't ever use photoshop desu because REAL GIRLS have CURVES not like those fucking skinny bitches who arent REAL WOMYN!!1one

What you see here is our REAL BEAUTY!!

(inb4 Lily suddenly 'realises' she's a horse otherkin)

>>7946918
M8 no joke tho this one time I talked to her and he told me this psychic she visited years ago told her she'd been a horse in her past life and that's why she's so obsessed with them and rfers to herself in horse terms.

>>7946918
"in hand" means she wasn't even riding, by the way.

>>7947640
The horse lives another day

>>7946918
I wonder how they'd do against Bec?

>>7947840
Bec's pretty fit.
Bit harsh to put her even close to the lillol category.

>>7947978
I think they meant in horse riding. I'm not a fan of either group particularly, but I think everyone would love to see Lily get beaten at what she seems to think is her natural calling.

I have missed a good old lilole drama thread.

Any moar delicious dramu?

>>7948114
They got matching Batwoman tats. Because they are so hardcore and Batwoman is a lesbian.
I'm wondering how long this fad with last because tats are for life

Other than that they are mainly hanging out on the Central Coast with their other Batfag friends.
Calling horses "Gotham"
Apparently getting readyto attend some cafe opening in cosplay call 'Gotham Cafe'

I just sit eating popcorn chuckling away

Getting more into the Batman, DC and Marvel fandoms. Lately all I see of her FB is pictures of the dozens of comic books she buys (most of them Batwoman) and almost all of her updates are pictures of said comic books and cakes/cupcakes/food she's eating (so much for a healthy diet amirite?).

Her FB is pretty boring. Just her complaining about everyday life like the crotchety old lady she is, spending her days in cafes eating cake and reading comic books (like a responsible adult and totally not a drain on society). Her latest fad seems to be that she wants to cosplay Red Sonja.

>>7950837
Red Sonja...right after she does the WW she keeps cancelling because of falling off horses straight into a vat of cake.

>>7950845
>Those guys at the back

>>7950773
>>7950837
>>7950845
>Pic related

>complains about her tight budget
>spends hundreds on hair treatments, comic books and eats out almost daily
>smh

Aside from sharing those awful horse meme photos that only middle-aged people and grandmas share (you know the ones, those shitty motivational pictures written in comic sans with atrocious grammar and punctuation) it looks like ALL she does is complain about how her life is SO hard.

These are just a couple of posts about her train adventures. I wouldn't want to be that poor train officer who got ogled and objectified by her, and then likened to a freaking horse. Also... Lily sure seems like she enjoys smelling like a cesspit.

Anyone going to Adelaide's Supanova? I've never been to one before and I really don't know what to expect.

>>7950934
I've missed this photo.

>>7950934
hahaha!!!!!
so good

Did anyone go to Supanova Adelaide? How was it?

>>7952309
Well it's still going on but by the lack of conversation I'm guessing no one went.

>>7950920
>>7950924
I gotta ask Anons.
Is she actually employed? If so what is her job?
I have a hard time imagining her as a productive member of society

>>7952309
Clearly no dramu occurred... disappoint

My favourite was the fucking flight center retard.

>>7954056
elaborate??

>>7954077
Some fuckin fat potato went up and did the QANTAS in-flight safety demonstration.

Saw several cameras, someone's gotta have pictures of it

>>7954182
Went.. were? on stage? during the cosplay comp?

>>7954204
Yeah during the comp, lol.

>>7954182
same person from avcon? supposed to be from flight simulator I think.

i cant believe justin died

>>7955082
I know. He was such an inspiration and a lovely dude.

>>7955082
So you bring it to CGL, the home of drama.
Slow claps for you, anon.

>>7955108
Like there will totally be drama over this...

>>7955082
He was an inspiration to us all, a fantastic cosplayer and a wonderful friend.

GET HYPEEE

>>7955765
is there going to be a livestream of this?

>>7955443
^^^^ this post.
100% agreed

>>7955082
who?

>>7955920
His work was truly incredible.

>>7955979
I think he did charity stuff in cosplay too? Just one of those awesome cosplayers who really was an inspiration. Sappy as that sounds.

>>7956012
Yeah I believe he frrequently did hospital visits in his batman cosplay

>>7955082
>>7955979
Wait wait, so this guy really died? Fuck I only found out about him like two months ago. I was absolutely blown away from his Borderlands cosplay.

Fuck. What a shame.

He cosplayed with Dan most of the time. Justin was an inspiring person.

>>7956279
REVOLUTIOIONARY

>>7954755
>>7954237
>>7954204
>>7954182
>>7954056

Can I ask for more details on Justin? I'm not in the Australia cosplay scene but I'm still curious on the story.

I'm sorry for your communities loss. >>7955979 looks extremely well done.

>>7956287
What details did you want anon?

>>7956279
>"cuss word because you all seem to freak out about swearing here"
>uses the word fuck three other times in the second paragraph

Oh lordy, this guy's an idiot.

>>7956294
Who he was. How/If you knew him personally. How did he die? Peacefully, I hope. Some of his cosplays and any nice memories others might have.

>>7956279
dude is usually an asshat but i actually agree with his post.stfu mcc

>>7956311
I dont even then half the posts are worry about if people recognise them, they just want asspats.

>>7956332
think* worrying about*

>>7956332

>they just want asspats

this. so much. omg just...and that dumb bitch saying 'some people cosplay only for attention and that's ok guys!!!' that's why fucking coswhores exist

Who here is going to Brisnova?

>>7956423
moi

>>7957771
wanna fug?

>>7956305
Seconding this.
I'm curious to hear what happened to him, he seemed so healthy and energetic at PAX.
I loved his Salvador cosplay but I was too beta to ask for a picture, so much regret.

>>7956305
He passed away due to a sudden heart attack. I know there is going to be some form of remembrance for him this weekend at Brisbane Nova.

>>7958168
I believe people will wear black arm bands at Brisnova too.

>>7958115
Yeah I got to see him as Salvador a bit at PAX and I was absolutely blown away seeing that up close with the Borderlands group. Really inspiring as someone who's just starting out to see something that cool. Huge fucking shame but he'll always be an inspiration, I'm sure

So who's still working on their Brisnova costumes?

All of you?

FUCK HER RIGHT IN THE PUSSY

GREAT JOB WITH THE RAIN WILL.

>>7939299
What happened to Blair and Darcy? They were the wild card right? Was there another wild card? I thought the girl with the huge gold armor was one.

>>7956282
ahahahah good ol david stevens, i see this guy at Avcon, Supanova, OzComicon, International Cosplay day, pretty much everywhere. I think he has some type of mental disabillity, although it is fun to watch him get up to his antics

Is this guy going to stop?

>>7963720
Just because youre jelly of his gains bruh

>>7963728
Doesn't have anything to do with jealousy.His page is just fan service posts of him half naked.

>>7963720
>>7963737

ahh yes....amir. he used to be cool, then e-fame got him.

>>7963737
He has put in a lot of effort into his appearance, he is humble as fuck and still shares other cosplayers. Also If you don't like his fanservice it's pretty easy to just unlike his page

>>7963791
>humble as fuck

until you mention something which goes against him being 'Persian'. or tell him that he looks like a drag queen

Australia's too small.
>tfw the thought of going to a con makes you sick qith anxiety

> mfw made a dead pool costume
> my penis is 6inches when flaccid
> I look like a sex offender
Guess I'll have to go as Nathan drake again.

>>7963948
Learn to tuck?

>>7964019
???

>>7964069
It's what drag queens do to their dong

>>7963948
Dude just show it off and let birches mire

>>7964090
I agree.

Dude just get a full bone. Band it off. Let your dick rest fully enlarged in what I presume is a red morph suit and watch as woken point at it in photos with you

>>7964101
In real life, as opposed to your fantasies, no one will react that way

>>7963720
name? local? facebook? DA? HHNNNGGGG..

>>7963948
Get a dancer belt, it's what male dancers use.

Which idiot has soundcloud faggotry hooked up to the speakers?

Fuckin Jacky, does his autism never stop.

Day one was pretty good. The Manu and Jack panels were amazing too bad the cosplay is jyst not really there and what is isn't overally amazing.

Unrelated but does anyone know of anything happening tomorrow night after the con?

>>7950924
Oh how I've missed the adventures of Australia's favourite lolcow.
Please tell me there's more.

Brisnova - guy on the left
>I'm not cosplaying for attention

>>7964698
... what's up with the maxi pads?

>>7964698
Saw this, and a guy with a shirt that said "leg rests" pointing his shoulders.
More eye rolling than scorn.

Also holy shit there was a girl at Brisnova in just a steampunk corset with fucking crazy cleavage, I didn't even know if i felt creepy for looking or if i wanted to laugh from the sheer ludicrousy of how big her tits were.

>>7964884
Yeah I caught that too. Holy shit. It's like...where do you look.

So opinions on the MNCC?

>>7965228
William won.

>>7964699
Cosplaying the dude from that stupidly popular ad where the guy sticks pads all over himself and pretends to be super heroes and shit

>>7965257
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
Now we'll have to put up with more of his crap

>>7965228
Results didn't surprise me. Sly wanted the WCS past winners to be 1st, 2nd and 3rd. How better to promote Madman?

>>7965401
Implying the other teams weren't rubbish top kek

>>7965437
You saying there were?

Sorta kinda wanna see some madman pics. Especially tess and nai's shit.

>>7965637
Tess duo should have won. Will should not have even been allowed to enter. His cosplay was awesome, but he was selfish entering again. There were great cosplayers in the Melbourne round that didn't even get a chance.

>>7965228
Will's upgraded hotel room and the fact Tessa and Nai and everyone else were given mediocre rooms compared. Yeah there was no chance anyone was going to win other than Will. What a joke.

>>7965652
What obscure BL couple did they cosplay this time around? Can't find pics yet. Does Nai still have the enthusiasm of a wet paper bag?

Did anybody vote in the gunpla comp? My shenanigans radar is pinging off because the staff are entering their own competition.

>>7965708
Some one manga series that I can't remember the name of; they did a skit that ammounted to a terrible fanfiction, if you are talking about one of the duos from this morning's comp.

>>7965451
Yeah they actually were lol

>>7964884
On friday?

>>7965800
Yeah I did, what made you suspicious of said activity?

>>7965835
who's they?

>>7965228
Same judges every year, and always good friends with the winning competitors. MNCC is the laughing stock of competitions.

>>7965808
Adekan which I'm (pretty sure) they did for qualifications was actually het but had undertones of omg bl b/c one character didn't wear underear or (actually) wore traditional jap undies!!!!!1

Tess has done the same shit for years and years. She reads summaries and nothing else. Nai did every single ciel outfit she could because she knows nothing else...
ala... they cosplay if it's pretty. Neither of them care about accuracy.

>>7965652
Madman too cheap to send two people instead of one.
Which now means Will will be on the judging panel everywhere

>>7965652
>will is selfish
>what's new?

>>7965907
Touché

Oh look how generous he is!

R8 our cosplay

>>7965927
Works for me

Some guy I know posted this on Facebook I can only kek so much

Could someone explain the negativity towards Will? Not in the cosplay scene heavily so don't quite understand the hate I suppose

>>7966006
He's a well articulated manipulative shallow self opportunistic show off. He is able to use this gift of his to act like what he does has no intention to effect anyone negatively, but still continue to do it anyway. This ends with the people he upsets looking like they are the bad guys and not himself. He is a great cosplayer but not a nice person. That's my view anyway.

>>7966033
I've seen Will be a complete and utter douchebag to people and then turn around to his 'friends' and expect them to laugh and praise the ground he walks on. Ugh.

If his costumes weren't so good I don't think people would associate with him because he's an immature egocentric brat, but he gets away with a lot because cosplay hero worship or w/e.

>>7965847
Yeah. I didn't know how to feel, like on one hand shes totally fine to show off huge amazing tits like that, but on the other hand supanova has a large creep population and she is bound to get some nasty comments or grabby hands.

'LOOK AT US GUIZ! WE ARE SUCH GEEKS!'

>>7965892
I've read Adekan... didn't they do that at some other thing this year? Nai wants to ~be~ Ciel, tess always picks out the most complex designs she can and reads a few pages etc. Same thing went down for her qualifying WCS cosplay of some weird, obscure manga.

Do Tess and Jess still cosplay together because gotta be honest, Jess was the best sauce of drama in ausplay.

>>7965927
Still did a better job than Michael bay.

>>7966724
A-am I not meant to like these? Aside from the obvious 'heres my boobs and my garter straps' I really like them. Specially the take on the hair.

>>7966949
>pokemon centre lady
>jigglypuff
If you've ever watched like a single episode or played one pokemon game, yes, you're meant to hate them.
>"take on the hair"
oh u mean how they just put dye in their own hair and sorta styled it? kek

>>7966953
they didn't even specially dye it for the occasion. that's their usual everyday hair colour. and style...what style? kek

>>7966953
Are hot girls not allowed to have favorite Pokemon? I'm not a fan of the hair either but I could easily see a jiggly puff with a nurse joy, in fact there was one in the pkmn center in Yellow if you dare to remember. It probably provides a decent anesthesia..
>I would just get royaly pissed if I ever did the same thing and seagulls cried fake geek girl over fucking pkmn.

>>7966953
Yeah I get your point. I dunno, I like the realism of their hair I guess, sick of seeing that 'wig pink'. Pic related.

>>7967035
i've never seen a pokemon centre lady/nurse joy's hair done well. It makes me so sad. I thought we were going through some sort of wig revolution when that Jesse cosplayer with flawless hair turned up, but alas. Not for the poor nurses.

>>7967019
whiteknighting taken to a whole new level.

>>7966724
observe much superior version

>>7967067
This guy is so awful. I went to take a photo with him back when the whole misty things was still big and he was so full of himself and acted like a huge asshole.

Fuck the gunpla comp. The dude who came in first entered the same model that he entered two years ago. A basecoated lotr model. And the 2nd and 3rd were unpainted models. Why the fuck was it "peoples choice" and not judges?

>>7966724
DOES THAT NURSE HAVE A FUCKING JIGGLYPUFF? HOLY SHIT I MAD.

(chansey is my favorite)

>>7967431
And they said fake geek girls don't exist hey?

>>7967460
But Pokemon(show especially) is like entry level causal.

>>7967463
Yep, and crystal STILL got it all wrong. Your point?

>>7966724
Fuck these girls and their shitty costumes.

>>7967480
this. what the fuck is it that they do anyway?

>>7966006
He is a fantastic cosplayer but the biggest bitch.
And everytime he gets called out on it he whinges to his friends (who just happen to ALL be "popular" cosplayers, judges, Madman reps and staff) hence makes whoever calls him out look like a jelly weeboo.

I have watched him worm his way in by riding coat tails and sucking up to popular cosplayers over the years to get to the position he is now....this is how he learnt most of his cosplaying skills.
He is a manipulator, he will play ditzy to get what he wants, that's how he chooses to get away with asshole behavior rather than be an adult.

Also notice how he never sews anymore, that's because some of the friends he fallen out of favour with won't sew for him. That and his Mum is too busy.

Also working as a fitness instructor (hence gym for free), sponging of his parents (rent and food for free) and getting off cuts and heavy discounts on worbla from Saclacc Pit (because they think "Ohh awesome cosplayer happy to teach newbs") means he can spend more and and have more time for cosplay compared to other cosplayers therefore more incredible cosplays.
While he works hard he technically has a huge advantage compared to cosplayers on tight budgets (because they have to pay rent etc), tight time constraits....

He sucks as a judge because he refuses to give feedback and bitches about you, unless you are popular or have epic skills that he wants to learn...then he is your best friend. A using parasite.

>>7967496
They have mediocre costumes that are so far from accurate it hurts. They always wear heels when it doesn't even work with the character. (Did you see the Lara Croft costumes this weekend?)

They bring nothing to the cosplay community but tits and ass.

Based Tyrone at Supanova wtf

>>7966724
Until I came back to this thread today, I thought both these photos were taken in a toilet.

Careful, Lily, your bitterness is showing. (Nice to see she only mentions people she deems 'worthy' of mentioning... again)

"GUYS GUYS GUYS LOOK I'M AN ADULT AND I SWEAR I'M NOT BITTER ABOUT HAULING MY FAT ARSE TO BRISNOVA, ONLY LOSERS GO THERE, WHO NEEDS BRISNOVA ANYWAY, NOT ME, GUY GUY PAY ATTENTION TO ME GUYS!!!"

>>7967695
Wow she seems so bitter.

>>7967502
Anonymous never works if you reveal the issues you rant about all the time in your posts.

Leave it be and stop taking the validity from what everyone is upset about and making it seem petty when YOU get involved.

>>7967695
You obviously pay attention. Well done.

There were too many photographers at this convention. Every photo will look the same.

>>7967695
seriously whatever happened to her kid?
i rarely check these things

>>7967831
Hopefully dead, he'd be better off

Did anyone catch the Tomoko cosplayer on Friday?
I wanted to get a photo but the booth I was at got busy and then I didn't see her again.

>>7967831
Even before she moved over east it was mostly her parents looking after him, so I hope that's where he still is, and having a better life without her in it

>>7967835
I didn't go friday, but I saw one today and got a photo. I'll only be able to post it tomorrow though, as a friend of mine owns the camera.

>>7967864
I don't know if she showed up on the weekend, I just didn't see her, I was helping at an art booth the whole time I was there.

>>7965927
You guys were playing rockband, weren't you?

>>7967866
I couldn't get a labcoat on time to cosplay today, so I walked around with a "Free Hugs (+ More)" sign. Saw her only once in the entire day.

>>7967867
Yep.

guys
was there a fight between volunteers over the weekend?
heard something got pretty heated.

>>7967688
>>7967695
I find it funny that her profile pic was her wildcard entry to the nationals.
That and not doing wcs and madman means they can afford horses.

>>7967695
Urgh I hope she doesn't ride those horses. She should be riding draft horses. Those horse's backs will be ruined :/ they can only carry 15-20% of their bodyweight.

What happened to people saying the Gunpla contest was rigged?

I thought there would be many categories but seems like all the 1/144 got beat out by 1/100/60's.

>>7967695
She's getting more and more desperate for attention but no one cares.
It's kinda weird how Nicole is riding horses though with Lily taking photos and gushing over it like some sort of mother figure.
Same with their cosplay where Nicole seems to be the one doing the most and Lily takes the photos. Almost like she's turning Nicole into herself or the life she wish she had.

>>7967834
My sides
>>7967831
I didn't know she had a kid. With the way she publicly goes on about other women's rumps i'm surprised she let some dude bone her.

Hmm dressing a sprained wrist has changed since my first aid days

>>7968993
Her page is just full of cringe.

>>7968968
This was yeeeeeeeeeeeeears ago, when she was still 'straight'
That said it was apparently 'rape' that got her pregnant

>>7969053
Jesus Christ are you fucking serious?

>>7968968
Yeah, she said she got 'raped' and had the kid, called the dad the 'sperm donor', but the way that she accuses guys of rape so freely, even when they've done nothing more than stand too close to her (which is hard, considering her mass has its own gravitational pull) I'm thinking she probably just boned some guy and is pissy she had to take responsibility.

She says she 'spoils' the kid, but considering that she only buys him presents that SHE likes (horse and anime related bullshit) it's probably not the case. She only sees him a few times a year, he lives with her parents and they're his primary caregivers. Considering that she wastes more money on all that cafe food, horse stuff, cosplay, figurines, comic books and unnecessary shit, you'd think her first order of business would be, I dunno, LOOKING AFTER HER OFFSPRING. But we all know how selfish and self-centered she is, so it's no surprise that she wants to live in her kawaii make-believe world.

I've met her kid (who's unfortunately names Severus, because Lily (not even real name) was obsessed with Harry potter for ages) a couple of times. Can't say he's my favourite person - he's downright bratty, a snotty little shit who obviously gets away with murder. Then again, I'd act out too if I was named after a Harry potter villain, my mother abandoned me to go live in her own make-believe world and only sees me when she wants a cosplay prop, and I was confused about my mother's name because she keeps changing it every time a new character she 'emotionally associates with' comes along (remember when she was calling herself Euphemia for a while? And Narcissa?). No surprises he's like that.

This bitter old hag literally can't make one facebook post without taking a dig at somebody.

Did anyone get photos of Jojo cosplayers?

>>7969430
I didn't see any

Come on guys. There were a bunch of whorebag cosplayers and creepy photographers taking photos outside the front door of the con and all we can talk about is Lily? lol

What'd ya think?

>>7969445
Pretty good Jack Sparrow

>>7956282
I fucking hate people like this guy. AVCon in particular seems to have no fucking quality control when it comes to the competitions so the stage is crapped up with dickheads like this guy whereas people with half decent costumes miss out because the contest is full.

Their artist alley seriously needs a tune up too because this year there was flat out garbage for sale, loom bracelets, rag dolls and crochet crap that you'd find at dinner bumble fuck country fair. Yeah, I mad.

>>7967430
so glad I didn't go to the effort of flying up with a kit :\

>>7969448
what drugs are you on?

>>7967864
Holding out for this

>>7969515
Missing the jacket but the guy does alright.

>>7967071
Look at the guy, he looks like an asshole

>>7967430
Got pics?

>>7969396
Wait is she saying she didn't make the pants? And is there a really bad attempt at jock sock or is it a weird flash thing
>>7969444
Because the difference between sad/pathetic and train wreak are obvious

Con pics? Or are we going to bitch about people no one really gives a shit about because it hurts... Right in the butt.

>>7969631
Every time I think of Brisnova I think of this pic, and how awful Tessa's makeup looks.

>>7969596
just the jacket?
this is a photo of another Brisbane jack.

missing waist coat, sword, sword belt thinggy, 2 more belts, 1/2 the dredlocks, compass most of the rings and the dead animal foot.

That said, he's got the makeup going pretty well

>>7969658
sorry... photo wouldn't attach

>>7969658
>>7969660
Ok yeah, much better on this guy.

I was concentrating on the face too much to miss the actual costume.

>>7964884
This reminds me of the two Anna and Elsa cosplays at SMASH that were wearing corsets that didnt fit them and Annas boobs where litterally in her face. It looked to uncomfortable. I wish I had taken a photo.

The con was enjoyable, I was in a dress (and because I am trans and don't pass that makes everyone notice me oddly) and one girl told me to stop attention seeking, that was a bit odd.

>>7969756
What a frigging cutie.
I can't wait to dress my little siblings in adorable cosplays.
They are so lucky to have a geeky sister 16 years their senior.
2 brothers and a sister all under 5, now to think of a group cosplay for them... Hnngg
Any more cute kid cosplays?

>>7968458
I'm friends with a volunteer and they didn't mention anything so if there was I guess it wasn't THAT bad.

>>7969779
Please only dress them up if they want to be in costumes, otherwise you are turning your siblings into your cosplay props and that makes you as bad as Lily

>>7969638
Is Tessa the one on the left cause why the hell are her bottom lashes like 1cm below her eye

>>7969274
>Severus
>SEVERUS
Fucking hell, I am at a loss for words.

>>7969430
There was a Kira/Rohan/Yukako trio walking around, but I didnt get any photos....

>>7969797
They love dressing up, they already have a few Skylanders costumes, Spider-Man, Batman, Ben 10 ect. But I guess it will all depend on how they see it when they are at a more con appropriate age.

Please read this and rethink your entire life

Anyone else seeing that guy post his "mlg man" OC cosplay on the MMC. Its the greatest thing ever

Anyone here know Vera Chimera? A female cosplayer? What's the deets on her.

Did anybody have issues with the weapons policy on the weekend?

Heard it was pretty heavy handed from the supanova photo find forum

>>7971499
I wasn't handling a weapon myself so I'm not sure, but I did see armed police officers around the con several times. Pic related.

>>7971521
Police presence is pretty normal at cons? See them all the time. Might have been a few more due to recently having G20 in Bris maybe.

>>7971528
Oh, I know police presence is pretty normal. Not used to seeing the armed ones though -- still not awfully surprised though, since like you just said G20 has just passed.

Okay, posting some of my pics. I didn't take a whole lot and they're mostly of the Daleks that were there, so eh.

>>7971549
... why did picture not attach...

>>7971551

>>7971553

>>7971555
And everything else is over 4mb apparently so can't upload.

>>7971492
>>7971492
https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/VeraChimera buy her shit! she's broke after america anon!

>>7971551
>>7971553
>>7971555
>>7971557
1) learn to resize
2) learn to turn your pictures upright

>>7971555
Damn I didn't take photos with any cosplayer over the weekend because I didn't see any that I liked so I'm bummed that I missed her.

>>7971588
Honestly don't care. They were on my phone, thumbnails were upright, can't be stuffed doing anything else to them. I didn't have to post; you don't have to look. But I noticed no one else was posting from BrisNova, so take it or leave it, your choice.

But thanks to the complaint, I'll make sure any other cosplay pictures I take in future are sideways AND unoptimised 16 megapixels :) Just for you.

>>7971591
She was wondering around with a Psylocke who looked fantastic.

>>7967864
>>7967869
A-are you dead? ;_;

Who was the hot Captain America?

>>7971482
Yes and it's fucking annoying
His costume started out as a clear ripoff of Pocky Knight and now him and his triangle pieces of craft foam are spamming the group with LOL SO IRONIC MLG MAN IM GONNA GET COSPLAY CARDS PRINTED DESPITE THIS PIECE OF SHIT A CHILD COULD MAKE BEING MY ONLY COSUME XDDDDDDDD

>>7971521
They didn't even let Captain America shields in the con.

The guy out the front in the blue jacket was an epic tool. Massive power trip.

>>7971872
Sorry, I've been working nights and sleeping all day. My freind is uploading them in batches of 100 and I haven't seen her yet. He fucking better not have deleted it, or I'll bitch and moan about it to him sooo much.

Have some N7 while you wait though.

>>7971563
Why should I buy her stuff? Are you her or something? What makes her special? I was asking because I wanted to know if there was any drama surrounding her.

I hear she complains about her male fans who send her messages over facebook telling her how hot she is or something.

>>7972973
Please, tell me more

>>7972749
There were dozens of Captain Americas. More importantly, who was the hot Hawkeye? I wanted to ask if he'd do a Hawkeye initiative pose, but I didn't want it to be awkward if he didn't know what that was.

>>7973021
fuck off suitfag, everyone knows you're only there since you're not any good at anything else important

>>7973293
Agreed... wonder if he bought his mommy's suit from home to feel important

>>7973329
makes you wonder if they replaced that whole group with competent people what would happen?

What were your favourite costumes of the convention?

>>7972749
He's a friend of a friend of mine. Heard he had a massive ego and was shamelessly hitting on girls and doing shit like taking his top off right in front of them.

>>7973455
Isn't he gay though?

>>7974107
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenlycried out in terror and were suddenlysilenced.

anyone got more photos from the Saturday at Brisnova?

>>7973009
Thanks brah

>>7972749
this is the one everyone seems to be going nuts over, is it the one you mean anon?

>>7975355
lel i saw him on grindr

>>7975404
Caps of the Cap or it didn't happen.

Toppest of kek's

Question for you all: who is the most two-faced cosplayer that you know?

>>7976704
Does Jessica Allie still cosplay? Because she legit had to leave a state because everyone there hated her.

>>7976704
SiaLia. Such a two-faced bitch, spreading lies about people who she used in the past.

>>7976809
I know she was cosplaying at Supanova Melbourne this year. I thought she was lovely, she handed out free water at the comp.

>>7977154
Maybe she's changed, but she used to go around calling lolitas ita despite owning ita clothing herself (all from random australian brands or ebay) and insulted nearly everyone in her local comm. It was like watching a train wreck. Not to mention she would go on and on about these weird diets on her facebook (all yogurt?) and got really butthurt at cosplayers for no reason -- all of which she did publicly.

I'd tell a story, but it'd be obv. who I am if there are any old ausfags on here.

>>7977161
I heard that when she was prepping for wcs Japan she had one of her housemates help with the wig. But she was being super shitty about it, like if the roommate wanted 2 seconds to themselves she would go batshit insane to the point where she actually damaged their bedroom door by lunging into it.

>>7976346
didnt beethy and her have the biggest facebook fight over the fact he sold prints of that photo that she didnt want to be sold but didnt actually say anything to him and just bitched about it everywhere? nice turnaround there kek the costumes bought anyway

>>7977161
On her Facebook she says she's just such a ~forgiving person~ that it causes problems. Right. Okay.

>>7972950
Did you see his Tomoya 'wig' he looked like a 50 year olf scene kid. it hurts to look at.

>>7977342
I agree with her friend. The desire to be a better person is definitely not fucking enough to be given a second chance, anyone can say that. The demonstration of actually *being* a better person and taking steps to improve yourself, perhaps.

>>7977066
sauce pls

>>7976809
She's joined the larp community in Melbourne and also gotten engaged. Now she battles a mysterious and random illness that basically means she doesn't ever have to do anything she doesn't want to do.

Speaking of infamous people in Australian cosplay, is there anyone who should be avoided at cons? Creepers, hangers on, drama whores?

>>7978815
infamous? Basically everyone

Is it just me or are there so many attention seeking faggots in the melbourne cos comm.

>>7979164
Sydney is way worse.

>>7979634
oh? like who? i'm interested to know

This thread needs more drama.

>>7979917
agreed

Anyone at melcospho? I was looking forward to it for ages, but ended up not going since the weather is quite shitty

>>7979959
The weather turned me off too. Although can't imagine it would be any good seeing most of the MCC is going.

>>7979164
The ones who just post on the MCC page? Yeah so many attention-seeking weebs and their terribad costumes and crossovers

>>7979695
A few have been named in this thread: Crystal and Maria aka Audette Jupiter, fake geek girls in mediocre costumes trying to milk attention from neckbeards at every con they go to, and Amir, whese ego got out of control after his Oberyn Martell cosplay went viral

>>7980040
Amir isn't too bad. He's a decent person. But I can back Audette Jupiter being fame whores. Also has anyone noticed how much they edit their photos to be skinnier/use too much of the dodge tool?

>>7980046
I've met Amir a couple of times and thought he was friendly enough, but that was pre-Oberyn. After that however....ego seems to be starting to get out of control. Which is a pity because I genuinely did like him when I first met him

>>7979959
I went. But I got there at 1.30 and I think a lot of the people that showed up had left by then. It was honestly pretty bad. Only a bunch of cosplayers in one place... There was a point in the day some people were doing some 'running selfies' though,

>>7979959
I was there! I didn't stay for too long because my friends and I went in to the museum to escape the weather.

>>7977066

>>7967502
i read this and it seemed almost copypasta'd from a thread about Yaya Han.

>>7974404
>tfw pictures
>tfw not sure if intended to look like a completely confused person

I'm sorry poor Yuno cosplayer if you are lurking.

I am in melbourne and know nothing about this.
I like pretty dresses and can appreciate a good costume, but will probably only spectate costumes since I don't really care about being on display.

Should I attempt to be a part of this or not? because the MCC sounds toxic as fuck

>>7980570
If you enjoy watching trainwrecks, join all the communities because sometimes things get hilarious

Otherwise you can stay sane and stay out

>>7977066
Doesn't Jenna come on cgl often?

>>7981208
She does actually. She came here to sort-of advertise the Aus Cosplay Critics fb group once. Not entirely a bad idea on paper, but unfortunately no one really uses the group

>>7981869
I tried, but then i just seemed like a bitch because I was being honest. Dat fucking "steampunk merida"

>>7980570
The MCC has a ridiculous amount of people, so there are a lot of idiots in there. You should join but not comment/view too many posts in one sitting.

However, the cons themselves are awesome. Lots of chill people, lots of cheap shit, lots more expensive but cool shit. Fun.

>>7964069
Google 'Willam Belli tuck tutorial'.

>>7982235
Like this bitch. Repeat offender who does not fucking learn

>>7982235
Pretty much this. There are also a bunch of cosplayers who aren't in the Com due to the drama. Sometimes good stuff happens in the MCC but it's generally overwhelmed with shit that should have been googled first and idiots.

>>7981869
lol would you use a group you know was started directly following a seagull bitchfest like how dumb would you have to be.

>>7981208
Jenna? as in jenna louise oconnor? or someone else?

>>7982289
yup that one

>>7982244
My fucking god, I just saw this. What does she think she's doing? She's probably just destroying the wigs.

>>7982292
Is she a lolcow? deets please

>>7982293
From her FB page:

"I just heat and bond the fibers."
"just straight heat with a brush attachment."

but she has no idea if her wig is heat resistant or not and oh god I wouldn't even consider giving her a wig

>>7979959
Such a shame the weather was so shitty (and its the first week of summer for god sake)

I went and I literally didn't know anyone there, Ive been going to MCP since pretty early one as well.

Didnt really enjoy myself as much as other meets due to weather (couldnt make use of the garden for photos) and this one girl that kept screeching for no reason???

>>7977362
MLG man is kawaii

Thoughts on Wahid Ahmadi?

ROFLMAO you faggots are the most fucken negative cunts ever, hating on people anonymously, srsly grow a set of balls. c'mon son, at least say it to the peoples faces via inbox. (To the ones hating - the rest of ya'll are cool lol)

>>7982400
ROFALMAO ur such a butthurt cunt. Where the hell do you think you are.

Thoughts on Jaiden Ciminelli that weird kid?

Jaiden Ciminelli is a fucking weaboo who's copied people's style like Davey Diamonds. Jai Jackson and Dat. He/she/it is a trash mouthed retard that is an attention seeker

Get off my fucking case or I'll report you for harassment. Check your privilege. Respect that appreance oppression keeps me from having any goddamn rights. In conclusion: screw you.

>>7982407
Jaiden actually looks effeminate instead of faking it, that his default look if he does nothing, and he was on the scene before Davey.

>>7982403
4chan. but god damn, don't you think it would be better to say shit to someones face? you can't say shit behind someones back like a pussy, say it to their face, you earn ballsy points and you get to see reactions lol. or are you afraid that you might get KTFO or something?

>>7982407
Oi Mate, He is definatly NOT a weeaboo and don't appreciate you trashing about my friend Jaiden and he is lovely and is very VERY ACCEPTIVE.

>>7982294
unfortunately not many lols to be had :(
she is vanilla as fuck, i spent a day with her once at a con and holy shit is she boring, just spends the time taking selfies of her really sub par cosplays and trying to be kawaii or funny. legit the most boring yet simultaneously annoying cosplayer i know

>>7982399
His beard will never be as good as my beard.

>>7982414
this is the whole point of cgl, take it or leave it.

>>7982420
True haha :D

The cosplay community is full of horrible people just look at this 4chan discussion lol

>>7982404
I wish he would fix his brows, but hes a nice guy from the times I have talked to him

>>7982404
he's nice but has kind of a bland personality. he really likes to suck up to people and follow them, not necessarily a bad thing since he is pretty nice. his cosplays are ok, defs getting better

>>7982424
holy shit you are so right his brows drive me crazy.

>>7982423
wow I never knew. MCC is also filled with horrible attention whores with medicore costumes i hope you can also make a post there telling them that.

>>7982421
so basically, you, as well as all the other people here hating admit to being pussy ass bitches? alright then... lol I got nothing else more to say then I guess.

How do I become famous and awesome like Dat?

>>7982427
Instead of being an asshole actually tell him and give him advice on good eyebrows plus I think his are gorgeous and nice to be honest.

>>7982429
yeh Ive got no problem with that, otherwise i woudlnt be here would I.

>>7982432
wow cant people have something called an opinion?

plz go back to tumblr

>>7982430
Dat is not awesome. He is a fucking disgusting pig and misogynist, etc. Don't be like him!!

Jaiden has made a facebook post about this! Oh no! He sure showed us! :D

>>7982435
Oh how cute, a person who bears a grudge when he's since apologized (Publically and via youtube no less)

>>7946896
Whoever Tara is, doesn't know the law, you do not need permission.

>>7982435
>Misogynist

There's that word again. Crawl back to tumblr filth.

>>7982440
No one cares what you have to say! Dat is evil and I don't like him! My opinion is totally valid and is also the most important and right!!!

Enough about cosplayers, lets talk about photographers now. Spill.

>>7982430
Dont

>>7982445
Apparently the photographer, Wahid Ahmadi is mean to people

>>7982440
Don't be fooled. Dat's weaponised penis is a powerful tool of oppression and rape of the patriarchy arsenal designed to keep womyn 'in their place'.

Dat actually hates sex, but there's one thing he hates more than sex, and that's independent strong womynkind. So he uses 'sex' as a tool of forceful power and control (aka rape) to oppress female cosplayers so they don't become more popular than him on facebook.

Come on guys. Jaiden is a cool guy! I've only met him a couple times but he was really sweet! And he doesn't copy anyone!

>>7982451
I've met him. Seemed nice enough, that was only for like 20 or so minutes though.

>>7982452
are you fucking retarded?

>>7982455
That's albeist! Check your neurotypical privilege.

>>7982456
as a genderfluid otherkin you have insulted me.

Everyone watch this!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfWlot6h_JM

>>7982455
if you didnt know this person is clearly being sarcastic.

>>7982461
You have no idea how much this triggers me! Don't compare my demigirl/demiboy Xher gender status to something make believe like otherkin pls.

Yo Melb, I hear TJ Cosplay is quitting. Any news to this?

- Concerned Queenslander.

>>7982465
I miss when it was just male and female.

Fuck this tumblr way of thinking.

>>7982472
From what I heard she is quitting because cosplay is shit

>>7982476
As in threads like this, Be more specific.

Anymore stories on these two?

Nudes even?

>>7982480

this is a blue board for god sake.

What's the point of winning comps when you can just flop your tits out and make money?

>>7982482
*sigh* A man can dream.

>Wants to do Sailer Moon cosplay group
>CBF actually making or buying costume
>Buys wigs and throws some random clothing on
>Done

If I incorporate my dick into my costume, how many girls do you think I can poke before they find out?

>>7982487
There are SO MANY non-senshi outfit sets they could've done and they put this random crap together instead??????

>>7982483
People seem so keen on winning the comp, to the point of getting shitty about the results. I wish I could understand why.

Congrats on your madman vouchers that equal less than half of what you spent on your cosplay.

>>7982497
didnt you know anon? Biker gang SM is the flavor of the month

>>7982497
It's the biker gang team from a fan art... Their look makes sense to me maybe nitpick on some though

It's actually based on a fan art, Biker/thug sailor moon

someone's bought their "backup" along to pretend they have friends (samefagging and shitposting)

im laughing at people on here who say things like "they cant even be bothered to make the costume and use random clothing" because they probably hardly make anything themselfs and dont understand how hard and how much money it costs to make a costume

The Wild Thornberries group was the best part of the weekend and reminds me why I love cosplay so much.

>>7982506
Oh no non-cosplayers bitching about cosplayers on cgl. lets insult them because I dont think they can do any better.

At least I dont do shitty closet cosplays of some obscure crossover fanart.

Just saying, time and funds shouldn't be an issue if you want to enter a comp. If you're jelly about Will just make something better and do a better skit. Save your funds over a few years and make your cosplay over a few years if time and money is a problem.

Thoughts on these cosplayers?

- Freya
- Kiara
- Davey
- Kaalli
- Yasemin

Freya and kiara are great people. How dare people say anything bad about them. The others i cant say i dont know them.

>>7982511
-Don't know why people give her so much shit
-Helps me out with stuff, thumbs up
-I dunno
-I dunno
-If I didn't know two of them I'd swear you're making these names up

>>7982511
Those names don't ring any bells at all.

>>7982511
Davey and Kaali are like ultra fabulous people but I don't know the others though! :)

>>7982511
Freya is a dog she could dish shit out ages ago and now when people wanna give it back she is liek wtf did i do wrong

>>7982513
can you...learn to reply properly on this board???

Kaallis a nice person in general, easy to talk to, probably stay away from cosplaying with her though because Ive heard bad things

>>7982511
Kiara is a snobby bitch um how to say it well thinks she is so perf. you wonder how she ended up with a sexy beast like christoph

>>7982511
Did the win a comp or something? never heard of them.

Jenna/SiaLia thinks she is famous now she was posted here.
Little does she know no one gives a shit about her and the mediocre crap she produces.

>>7982511
lol freya she has been in 4 chan clg 4 years straight. i wonder how long till she gets a break. not that i care

>>7982523
shes got a cute face, costumes are medicore tho. wouldnt say shes famous

>>7982511
I hear if you can sleep with all of them you get a prize.

>>7982525
I really like her costumes. Her recent Annie was so good

wahid that u bruh

>>7982518
really? like what?

>>7982523
You're a cunt

>>7982523
Wahid that u??

I like how Bonita thinks she's top shit

What are your thoughts on Leah

I hate when cosplayers make an amazing costume, but pose like their getting their school photo taken when they get to the comp.

Yes, I know everyone is tired, but at least fake some enthusiasm.

>>7982535
Bonita is really sweet. Also hot as fuck. Her cosplays are also pretty well done.

>>7982536
Leah's pretty lovely and good at league

>>7982536
Serious man face syndrome going on there.

HI GUYS JUST REPRESENTING AUSTRLIAAAAA~~~

>>7982540
Bonita is so bloody stunning and so beautiful.

>>7982535
Kek

>>7982538
Have you ever heard of directing them yourself?

Can we bitch about Jye O'tool?

>>7982549
How about no because he is amazing? shut up.

>>7982549
never heard of him? from what i can see on his facebook profile he barely cosplays and even then they look pretty shit

bonita here. and i do think im top shit ! thank you for confirming!!!

Bonita is a horrible person. Why? Because she stole mah swag!!!! :(

>>7982548
Not actually taking photos, just observing photos post-con.

I've done it myself at a few cons, always wish I could go back and tell myself to keep my chin up and stay in character.

>>7982532
From what I hear generally unreliable? Last minute pulling out from groups/shoots and having people bend their schedules to her.

She's nice though I have nothing against her, just things I've heard though

>>7982545
Your time in the spotlight is over slut.

bonita stealing swag everyday. her one true crime

>>7982559
Someone should probably help her up.

What the fuck happened to this thread?

neil creek stop being a creep

>>7982562

>>7982562
Well once you've covered Will and Lily, the thread loses it's drive and dies out.

Me right now

Hey since this is a AUS cos thread anyone know any good places to shoot in Australia?

Stop being homophobic Bonita!!!

That Michael Ha guy though, I've heard he's a total asshole

>>7982577
I wish, the closest I'll get to that is a photoshop

>>7982566
who is this will cuntt everyone is talking about him?

>>7982545
>>7982559
Kneel before the TRUE queen. Peasants.

ALL BOUT THAT BASS THAT BASS

>>7982563
As of PAX he doesn't shoot cosplay anymore so you're safe.

That michael ha guy thinks hes so high and mighty just because he makes his own cosplays from scratch. I mean calm down with the dedication m8

>>7982583
Oh god not this bitch. Who's dicks has she sucked to get so popular anyways?

Wahid's beard is big because it's full of lies and hate!!! The only reason he does photography in the Cosplay community is to take photos of girls that he can wank to later cause he can't get a gf!!! He makes up lies of people and hates on various Cosplays!!!

I looked at that Wahid guys photography page and tbh its nothing special. His editing is pretty good but his composition is absolute crap. Would never hire him to take shots of me personally.

Neil creek is a pedo

I wonder if Bonita would ever turn lesbian for me. Too bad she's straight for Jenna

>>7982568
thats the face i made after someone asked me why i killed that nigger with a brick

>>7982602
Hiring a photographer for cosplay?

Way to throw your money away that could be spent on more costumes.

cgl please step up your game

I wonder if Bonita knows I'm joking. It doesn't matter cause yolo. Plus she stole all of my swag which is how she got jaiden and Jenna ;)

>>7982604
I keep hearing stories about this guy.

What's his deal?

Im a photographer (not professional by any means) but i dont think cosplayers should pay for photoshoots but thats just me. I've been offered to be paid for my services but I decline.

>>7982619
More drama? More cosplay?

Please specify.

>>7982627
More DRAMA.

>>7982633
Were literally ran out of it thus are starting it here

whos Wahid

>>7982647
wahid ahmadi??

>>7982657
that's the one.

what do u think of that Cammy from MCC?

>>7982658
This guy?

>>7982659
Pics?

>>7982660
Yep that's him.

>>7982662
her

Worst person from Melbourne cons, whether they're a cosplayer or lolita. Go.

>>7982501
>biker gang team from a fan art
Were you talking about this one where THEY LOOK NOTHING LIKE IT

>>7982506
If you can't afford to cosplay then don't do it????

>>7982690
There's always kickstarter. GET YOUR FRIENDS TO PAY FOR YOU ANON.

I praise those actually asking relevant questions, who has the time to bitch on about other people lol. All this negativity is fuelled by your own insecurity, time to grow up.
If you have something to say, say it out in the open, to they're face.
From time to time I like to scroll posts to catch up because I'm new to the cosplay community but this post (some anon comments) has made me feel nauseated.
Kinda contradicted myself I am aware because god knows what chain reactions this will cause but I think you all seriously need to stop judging and cowering in corners whispering, more love and acceptance less hate and jealousy.
If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all.
