>>8018531
That's obviously commissioned.

>>8018539
Not OP but I'm curious on where this is commissioned from too.

>>8018547
Same one that did Precious'

I'm wondering who can make a suit like this if anyone isn't selling it on a website somewhere. Just figured I'd ask if anyone's seen anything like this for sale, or If they know where I can commission someone, and for how much...

>>8018531
http://www.latexcatfish.com/xcart/Shikinami-Asuka-Langley.html

Here.

A lot of different sites sell it.

>>8018549
Who?

>>8018553
Thank you so much! I hope this is a credible site- I've never heard of it.

>>8018564
Look around. I used a latex outfit off a website like this for a different costume--it worked well for me, but not for others. There are some etsy sites that do hte other plug suit (Rei?) for like 500$ ...so yeah. The one review on that plug suit seems actual legit. Again, just do your research.

>>8018564
I've heard bad things about Latex Catfish. They're like the Milanoo of latex.

>>8018549
Who the hell is Precious'

>>8018549
are you retarded? that suit looks nothing like precious's. OP suit looks cheap, low quality, and inaccurate and as you can see from the link here >>8018553 sells for $2000 whereas precious's suit is somewhere like 1600 euros.

>>8018553
Thank you for linking to this site, I needed a laugh

>>8018549

Are there any other sites that are more credible that latexcatfish?

Kurage Kido is my latex idol and he does un-fucking-believe-able plugsuits. Latex Catfish is very meh, but his are phenomenal.

>>8018549
I wasn't aware they came that big

>>8018531
please don't buy this its laughably inaccurate
it looks like the one they sold on cosplayhouse and the collar area and back of it is awful

>>8018672
But it seems to be the best I can buy on my budget. I'm not willing to spend more than $250-275. The ones for 78$ on amazon look way shittier. This happens to be the best I'd seen ...

>>8018686
>>8018686
>I'm not willing to spend more than $250-275
Well then you're not willing to have a nice, accurate plugsuit. Accept that what is seen in OP is pretty much what you can expect for your budget. If that's okay with you, go for it! If not, suck it up and either make your own or shell out more money.

>>8018611
What exactly are you expecting when working with just flat surface?
Where is your shit, hotshot?

>>8018686
>not willing to pay more than $275
You're in the wrong hobby.

>>8018716
Not so much, hun. Considering I do my best to make due with what I have to work with, living from paycheck to paycheck, I consider almost $300 incredibly pricey for one outfit that I most likely would never wear in public.

>>8018725
Well I for one support you anon. It's all about fun anyways. No matter what bullshit everyone else spouts here.

>>8018728
Thank you. I'm not looking to be next top cosplay model- i typically craft all my own costumes on a relatively low budget and that's half the fun. For once, I wanted to save up and buy myself something nicer than I could normally afford. I never got sucked into the anime but my boyfriend loves it. I can appreciate the character and art style, and I think the outfit is gorgeous. I may sound cheap but it's not easy shelling out $300 as is.

>>8018716
I wouldn't pay $500 for any cosplay no matter how accurate it's suppose to be. I've seen Persona 3 cosplays cost that much.

Also who the hell is Precious? I'm still confused on what they have to do with Evangelion plugsuits?

>>8018766
this is precious cosplay and her plug suit was from andromeda-latex . com

>>8018766
You Can (Not) Afford This.

Can we just turn this into a plugsuit thread?
Does anyone have any tips on how to make plugsuits?
I want to make one out of preferably latex but have no idea where to start.

>>8018797
>>8018766

Considering that I'm almost 29 it would be silly for me to cosplay 14 year old children.

Even if I use the excuse that "LOL I'm doing the movie version," I'm still cosplaying as 28 looking like 14 year old children.

>mfw

>>8018725
Then settle for a shitty plugsuit. It might seem ridiculous to you but plenty of people pay $500 for good latex suits, so take your broke ass somewhere else.

>also, you can take that hun and shove it up your ass

>>8018806
>am 28
>am still cosplaying "children"

Stay basic.

>>8018806
dont need to shit on evangelion just say you are too fucking poor to cosplay it and we will laugh at you like everyone normally does

>>8018814
Poor isn't even an excuse.

That cosplay on a budget meme going around not long ago and ridiculous costumes for what they were spending.

Joann's coupons, using craft foam and paper mache instead of Worbla and you can crank shit out.

>>8018800
look I

You should probably just try something easier or get a commission

>waste money, blood, sweat, time, tears trying to make a shitty plugsuit bc you don't have the skill
>spend $$$ commission one

>>8018560
>>8018599
Fucking newfags, seriously..

>>8018811
Hey I've seen people complain all of the time on this board about cosplaying people around your age group. Prime example is that Bad cosplay thread with the girls cosplaying Shoujo and they shouldn't because they are 'too old.'

I wanted to do Plugsuit Kaworu or Asuka since 1995 but I didn't get into cosplaying until a year ago so I'm self conscious. I'm already ugly and caramel so the last thing I would need since this damn board sucked me in again is to see my almost 29 year old ass in the bad cosplay board with some ass claiming I'm too ugly/old to do Asuka.

It's bad enough that my community posted me here years ago in a vendetta.

>>8018830
>years ago

and you're still hung up on it

>>8018814
Who said money was an issue? I would feel bad that I'm paying half of my rent money on a cosplay that I will end up selling in a year or two because I'm too damn old. It's been mentioned here that 30+ is too old for certain cosplays and in this case it would be too old because I wouldn't pass as a 14 year old Asuka no matter how much damn makeup I put on my face.

>>8018834
So?

>>8018830
Awwwww did the intewnet buwwies huwt yo feewings?

You're fucking 30. Act like it.

People are going to talk shit regardless, ESPECIALLY on this drama-based board.

Either put in the effort to make a costume look better so people have less shit to point out or fuck off to /r9k/

>>8018824
>Implying I go on this board every day.

>>8018838
So? SO MOVE ON, holy christ why on God's Green Earth would you give a fuck about what some mean bitch on 4chin said about you? especially past 2 hours? oh my god

>>8018839
Wow did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? Are you bitter because of something or on your period?

The point is people are going to talk more shit because I'm cosplaying out of my age group and I'm from South America with a round baby face. I'm not comfortable with it because of some vendetta bitches who go to my community frequently go to this board. Really is that hard to understand?

No wonder anons hate tripfags. God I don't even know who the hell you are.

To sum it up stop trying to cause drama.

>>8018845
don't forget, you're here forever

It's hard to compete.

>>8018859
oh damn you really are a newfag

anyway you definitely need to get off this board, no one is going to give 2 fucks for your backstory or sob story, tumblr is better for that.

>>8018859
The point is, everyone cosplays outside their age range, body style, skin tone, etc despite people causing drama for it.

You're not special.

To sum it up, stop trying to gain sympathy.

>>8018839

>>8018859
You know, I hardly post to threads on /cgl/, but elitist assholes like Vallelator is the reason why I stay anonymous because tripfags in general have this "special snowflake" syndrome.

If you're the OP of the thread then please don't feel bad. Just ignore him and do what you love. Despite how drama induced this board is just try to focus on the positive and please just cosplay what you love. Even if you aren't pale or can afford expensive necessities for a costume there are ways on how to achieve a high quality cosplay without being overboard on splurging money.

Just ignore the obvious trolls and stay strong anon. There are ton of catty bitches in this community but what really matters is cosplaying someone who you love. Cosplay nowadays to tripfags is circlejerking and attention whoring and they don't know the true love of cosplay. Let them be bitter anon, in the end who is happy? :)

Wow, everyone here is so bitter and hostile. Peace out.

>>8018859
Pictures of you cosplay please .Christmas cakes are my fetish.

>>8018890
Is this everyone's first day here or what is going on?

>>8018889
I'm an elitist because I'm telling you to cosplay what you want to and get over yourself.

You should look up the word, I don't think you're using it right.

>>8018858
>2 hours

It happened a while ago and they still go to the community. All they do is post on the forums to start drama and then post it here for lulz. One time they posted personal information but nobody paid attention to it.

Wish I could turn the bitch in but she sucks the mod's dick.

>>8018872
I don't want any sympathy. I don't care if you give me sympathy or not. I'm just ranting on an image board. If I wanted fake sympathy I would just go to the feels thread that isn't even about cosplay in the first place.

>Everyone

That's bullshit. What 30 year old you know that still cosplays and tries to pass as a 12 year old or a 13 year old kid?

>>8018891
saw what you did there

>>8018905
People in my age group.

See it all the time.

Do you even go to cons?

>>8018910
>People in my age group
>Doesn't post pictures
>Doesn't give out age so most likely talking out of their ass

Stay classy.

>>8018905
3, all of which are in Dallas ironically.

Listen, I know it happened more than 2 hours ago, go back and read, what I'm trying to tell you is just move on, you being mad about it still is like drinking poison and expecting bitches to die from it. Just...let it go

>>8018916
New much?
I'm 28. I said that earlier for one thing.
I also self-post all the time.

Any other places to buy plugsuits from? I heard latex catfish is hit or miss.

>>8018925
>Excepting me to know trips.

I ignore tripfags and anything with self posts I hide so no I don't know who the hell you are or Clockwork for that and I don't really care. I do that because of that one WWII trip and that one Hetalia Prussia trip who kept shitposting everywhere.

I only know Ponfarr, Todd, Blue, and a few others and they don't even come here any more.

Again I don't see any positive comments about people who cosplay outside of their age group. Most seagulls complain about how they are too old to cosplay and they should cosplay within their age group so why should I bother? Unlike you I have self esteem issues so if some vendetta bitch is going to post me because I'm Hispanic then I rather just avoid it altogether.

>>8018821
I'm talking about plug suits you can cosplay other shit on the cheap just not this

>>8018945
I'm Hispanic, 5'5" and a later age and I cosplay tall white characters all the time.

If you're going to be so far gone that you're afraid of what seagulls think of all people then you are in the wrong hobby or on the wrong board.

Like I said earlier, either deal with the drama, ignore it and get over it, or find something else where no one will say anything about you.

>>8018906

what the fuck is this thread even

hory sheeeit

If you're not willing to pay nearly a grand for this, then I'm gonna throw it out there that you need disregard the cosplay side altogether and realize that you don't know SHIT about latex. Don't jump in to it because you want to do a single cosplay; the cost for anything latex is insane, but you get what you pay for.

Someone shouldn't ever be told not to cosplay something if they're not willing to spend almost a grand on it- that's absolutely absurd. Were all just adults playing dress up. How does someone spending 250 on a cosplay (no matter how inaccurate or shitty you may think it looks) affect you in any way? It really doesn't. You're just telling someone to give up on something because YOU won't be pleased with how it looks. But really, it only matters how the buyer feels.

>>8019561

No, what I'm saying is that you don't know anything about latex. I've been designing and selling latex costumes for about 5 years now and have been modeling and participating in fetish events for even longer, and the material cost is absurd. For one costume that I did last spring the materials alone ran $450 because latex is goddamn expensive. If you skip on the quality, expect to have seams burst and unexplainable rips, so really, it runs around $30-45 a yard for something that you don't have to worry about ruining itself just from use. There is one site where you can get it for around that much per yard shipped, but anything else just don't even bother with it. Want to try MJ Trends? Have fun having your ass randomly blow out the back. That shit is so low quality.

Not to mention, the process for assembling latex is entirely different; everything must be done 100% by hand (not that that's out of place for cosplay), but everything must be cut with a rotary, polished with a chemical to remove anything that will get in the way of the adhesion, and seams must be double glued and placed wrong side over right side. The entire working of latex is 100% different, and if you don't find someone who knows what they're doing then it just won't work.

I don't give a shit how much someone spends on a costume, but having that commissioned will run about $1,000 due to materials and labor, you know, if you don't want it to spontaneously explode on you.

>>8018531
her figure is perfect for Asuka, I cant wait to see this finished cosplay.

>>8019006
I'm in Europe, so that comment fails. I don't want to act 40.

I had a nightmare last night where my comm kick me out because I was over 24. They all stood there looking at me with disgust as they shouted "granny", "old hag" and more mean things about my age. I ran out crying of the room. Then I woke up sweating.

I got PTSD from this thread. Thanks, /cgl/.

>>8020584
This. I also hang in the fetish community and, while I hate latex, I have friends who love it. A good quality minidress will be a couple hundred if it is to custom measurements. That shit is impossible to deal with unless it is expensive.

>>8018531
Doesn't look too bad. Has there been any word that she is actually going to get other stuff to make it look more complete? Gloves, wrist cuffs, soles, or that backpiece? I would definitely like to see what one of Latex Catfish's suits would look like when it actually looks like it has the appropriate parts, and not just that suit.

>>8020640
What would you make those parts out of?

Why pink wigs though?

>>8021593
Very disappointed in her wig, but not surprised. At least its better than MF's, that's not saying much. (Pic related)

>>8023046
That's just a picture of the girl trying it one. I'm guessing it might be her own hair or w/e.

>>8023046
thats her hair, bro

>>8023073
I don't understand. What's wrong with her wig?

>>8023104
Precious'? It's practically unstyled, and for spending thousands of dollars on her custom plugsuit it's the least she could do. I guess i should give her credit for at least trimming it though.

>>8023115
Actually the latex designer gave it to her. Maybe you should offer to style it for her?

>>8023141
Then it's worth thousands of dollars. Basically she's just modeling the suit, is she even calling this a cosplay? Or is she really just wearing it for the designer and their website?

Also it would take less than an hour for some super simple styling for her wig, i don't think it would do any good to even offer.

Also i feel a little silly getting into a tiff about this, in the end there's nothing i could really do about it and it is what it is, i guess.

>>8018797
And she still can't pull Asuka off.

>>8018812
Where is this from?

I'm liking the Rei suit from the same latex place as >>8023141

>>8018987
Manlet huh? That's why he never learns...

>>8024006
Why does nobody every get Rei's hair style right?

>>8024214
I don't know. Not even most figurines get it right.

>>8020584
If you're still around anon can you drop the good website you've used to buy quality latex please?

>>8024006
>hundreds of dollars on a plugsuit
>ones of dollars on a wig
Are you fucking shitting me?

>>8025833
I'd really like you hear what you would do to improve them.

>>8026018
Commission someone better.
durrrrr

>>8026018
For real, if you are willing to spend hundreds to even thousands on a costume, you better be willing to spend a decent amount on a wig or wig commission.

>>8025816

Sure thing, the best bang for your buck is Elastica Engineering/ Sheetlatex . com.
It's the best quality for an affordable price, since you don't have to bulk order. For the US, after shipping and tax, it's roughly $25-45 a yard. I've used lots of different latex from different companies, and 4D/radical rubber are also great, but it's MUCH more expensive. Avoid MJ Trends like the plague; cheap latex like that splits like crazy and can't even hold the glue for the seams. Plus, Elastica Engineering latex holds a GREAT shine and even has a small amount of shine from just being washed, no polish. It's really hard to find good latex that you don't have to bulk order, so I really recommend them.

>>8020613
im actually laughing

>>8018783

Classic case of the wrong body for the cosplay.

>>8030777
She was given a suit to model and did her best cosplaying a character she liked. I don't get all the hate other than just being jealous.

>>8024214
Because there are so many skillsets involved in costume design, you probably can't get it all right.

I wonder how sex would be with plugsuit girl

>>8023141
Holy shit, her tits looks awful in previous photos, but from this angle they're just ridiculous.

>>8031752
which one?

>>8030777
>wrong body
There's no living human in the world who has the 'right' body for cosplaying Asuka, you retarded fucking hambeast.

I see a VPL

>>8033006
Isn't that exactly what a hambeast would say though, you planet?

>>8033006
Proportions vs. measurements, anon.

Many cosplays would be 100x better if people paid attention to proportions. The girl in OP's pic looks really good because she's thin, though she needs a bit of padding in her thighs. It's not hard for a girl with the right shape but larger waist to use a cincher to make it look more proportional. But no one is saying it needs to be 1:1 measurement, just look similar.

>>8033006
OP is pretty fuckin close.

>>8033828
lol no

Lyz has the right body for most anime girls.
>tfw she never does anime girl cosplay.

I feel like >>8018783 is more of a pinup or fanart version of Asuka. I still really like it and she is my number two favorite Asuka next to the Eva twins.

>>8038494
Eva twins?

>>8034058
No clearly the curvy girl with the massive breasts is closer.

>>8042024
>No clearly it's the girl with the shit tier latex plugsuit

lol, nice

>>8042037
No one was talking about the costume. Please learn to read before losing your shit.

>>8042040
Who cares about the the cosplayer if the costume is shit?

>>8042044
People who can read and follow conversation.

>>8033006

>>8042657
This person does not have the right body or facial structure. Also, that plugsuit and wig are horrendous.

>>8042657
I like her for Asuka. If the plugsuit was stretch vinyl and she has a better wig I think it'd be legit.

>>8042037
she could be wearin a suit made from rubber gloves for all i care, im just mirin that thigh gap.

>>8044248
>thigh gap
>legs spread apart

I'm not saying she doesn't have a gap, but that pic doesn't.

>>8024006
So... With a latex suit tight enough to hug the hip bones like that... how difficult is it to don and doff? I can't imagine it would be easy. Lots of lubricant, right?

>>8044248
If she stood normal, there wouldn't be a gap, bruh.

Her legs are spread in that pic.

>>8037851
but she has a huge nose

>>8044775
wtf, no she doesn't

>>8044793

Just looked at other pics of her to see if anon is right and
lol she has a huge nose

>>8044826
Lol huge. Jelly hambeast samefag detected.

>>8044884
It is a little large for her face, since her face is already fairly thin, especially in >>8018531, but it's not something to go "lol look at that fucking beak" about.

>>8044891
I'd say it's pretty average sized. Her other features balance it out well and I think that overall she's very pretty.

Latex is shit-tier solution for skintight. The only right material is tape.

>>8044689
Correct me if i'm wrong but some people coat the inside with either lubricant or a powder so they can put it on, and when they take it off they kind of just.. peel it off?

But i'm no expert and have never made or worn anything like that before. I'm just going off of what i've read from others' experiences.

>>8044922
baby powder works really well, plus it helps fend off sweat.

>>8044914
You're going to have to MacGyver it with tape, birdseed and bubble gum. It's the only way.

Everyone's talking about latex, but what about stretch PVC or vinyl? Would they be suitable materials? I'm wondering 'cause Rei's plugsuit is a dream cosplay of mine.

Girl in pic said she used stretch PVC and it looks alright, but the close up shots reveal that her seams look really stressed...

>>8044929
(latex worker here)
PVC would honestly be much easier to work with and exponentially cheaper. PVC is a shit material, though, and loses its shine once it's stretched out. It's a bit harder to sew with than regular fabric (cotton, satin, etc.), but not terribly so. I'd say you'd be fine using it, but it won't be a costume that lasts super long, as it is susceptible to stress on the seams and a general worn-out look.

If you don't have the money to drop on latex, I'd say it's a suitable substitute, though it won't be nearly as nice or durable.

>>8018531
>Lyz Brickley
s-she's famous on here?

i know her husband really well....

>>8018830
why not just wear that shit anyways
29 is really too old to be worried about what a bunch of venom spitting 16-19 year olds think

also, chances are you don't even socialize with people in that age group, you're an adult might as well do it

how comfortable is latex to wear at conventions?
im planning on spending about 150$ on the latex catsuit that i'll be building off of for asuka, is that too cheap?

>>8047168
It depends. I made the mistake of wearing a latex suit to Otakon about 4 years ago. I thought I was going to die. I took the thing off in the tub when I got back to the hotel, and the amount of sweat that splashed into the tub was disgusting as hell. But it also explained why I hadn't needed to go to the bathroom for 8 hours despite the water I was chugging.

>>8023104
Those damned jerseys. I'm mildly concerned that she's probably doing this at the midway museum.

>>8047478
it's okay, I saw Asian Captain America on the deck of the USS America posing for photos with amused naval aviators.

>>8047502
God I fucking hate smelly as little gooks in my country. They're fucking disgusting and disrespectful as fuck and they don't even live in their own country anymore but they act like they own the place and take issue with the residents. Fuck them.

Even though it's not a perfect plugsuit lulubird's asuka will always be my favorite.

are there any other good variations of this cosplay with this fabric?
i think this one looks particularly nice

>>8018725
>living paycheck to paycheck
>poor as fuck
>considering dropping $165 on plugsuit
>a really shitty plugsuit
>will only be worn at cons

why

>>8047168

I'd be very, very careful with one that cheap. Cheap latex doesn't stay together; if you bump into something wrong you could have a total side split. Besides, the one in the photo you posted is PVC, not latex. I'd recommend to anyone who is not willing or able to spend big bucks to opt for PVC for their own sake. No fun dealing with a fucked costume at a con.

>>8018531
I love this thread. A lot of people need to research materials before taking any move on buying or making a plugsuit.

>>8048446
because people in that situation tend to make poor decisions in the needs vs wants dept.

have poor resource management skills

and have little foresight in future financial obligations

>>8048759
Hell, some people still don't even understand that latex is not even close to the same thing as all the other shiny stuff. Not a good place to be if you actually consider using it.

>>8045400
Stop pretending you know people, you don't leave your house.

Ok here is some guides I've found to make a pretty nice plug suit.

This one has a ton of references for the suits.
