not this one

>>8271576
How about this one then, because it really impressed me as well

>>8271666
That's just duct tape and a corset over white bedsheets though.

>>8271666

Eh I feel the movement could have been better. Also a lot of shiny duct tape and garbage bag looking bits in there.

>>8271670
The end result looks pretty awesome no matter the materials used.

>>8271666
Nothing about this is impressive

>>8271692
I was following his progress the entire time and that really makes it even more impressive. His Cinderella progress makes me excited too, even though it's just in the buying materials and figuring things out stage.

>>8271666
Satanic trips wasted on a nasty wig and duct tape.

>>8271699
Dubs wasted on shit taste.

>>8271699
From a far away low quality gif. If you showed us a close up photo like the others in the thread maybe we would agree.

>>hamsteak
>>impressive

The source doesn't make it less impressive as a costume. Though the more I look at it the more I see problems. Weird finish on the horn thing, baggy zentai suit and pretty poor job on the bodice construction.

>>8271711
I would but the cosplayer didn't post any other pictures of this cosplay. I'd like to see a better pic of it as well.

>>8271708
Sorry, I'm a newfag, where's a hamsteak there? I don't understand what you mean.

>>8271728
Hamsteak is Homestuck.

>>8271741
:/
rude

>>8271717
It's a ballroom gown version of this.

Please tell me how the source isn't trash to begin with.

>>8271747

Stop

Isugi's Ascended Sleeper

>>8271751
Re read what I said. You can make a costume from something that's trash but it doesn't mean that the costume itself is trash. I know it's from HS and while HS has a lot of shitty cosplay it doesn't mean OP's is. Not sure it needed it's own thread and the "special interpretation" makes me like it less but it's not trash.

Make your mind up.

>>8271835
It was made by studying screen-used costumes, it's amazing and the quality is really high.

>>8271844
To me it's pretty clear that what he's saying is that it's a pretty decent cosplay but it has some problems.

This Bacterial Contamination Miku with the moving claws always impressed me

>>8271692
I love his work but this dress not so much... The art has this red-brown filter over everything but it's really hard to replicate that IRL so some of the colours clash.

>>8271692
I love his work and this dress is exquisite, but the pink feathers clash.
Can't wait to see how his Cinderella dress turns out.

>>8271946
woah.... did they make that all themselves? i cant image how many hours of work this all took!

>>8271706
>>8272003
I can't wait to see his Cinderella!
His fabric choices look so pretty already.

>>8271978
Are the claws transparent? That's pretty fucking neato.It's such a simple mechanism to make that kind of articulation I love when people utilize stuff like that

>>8271978
Seeing it move is quite impressive indeed.

>>8272027
Yes, i think they did because he is selling costume-making commissions right now. I don't know how he does it but the details are amazing.

>>8272058
A lot of it is about picking trims, appliques and gems that work well together and attaching them cleanly. Some parts could be custom embroidery but I'd have to see a reference to see if some designs match.

>>8271747
dude, even the homestuck general in /co/ has used hamsteak and homosuck for years

>>8272099
I've heard homosuck everywhere but not hamsteak, also a newfag.

>>8271844
Uh it's pretty obviously two different points. Impressive costumes can come out of shitty series, also the OP's image is good but not great.

I'll give you 10 kittens if you figure out why I did this.

He's so fucking beautiful. WHY IS HE NOT MORE POPULAR!? Who IS he?

>>8272309
Gifs work too, yknow.

Some dude from Russia
http://okaridane.deviantart.com/

>>8272135
Wasn't this cosplayer a seagull? I remember following their progress here a while back

>>8273316
>Russia
Ok this might sound weird but is there a better selection of trims and fabrics available there and a higher emphasis on craftwork as compared to the US? I've noticed a lot of insanely detailed stuff in other hobbies coming out of Russia too.

>>8273460
They're closer to China I guess which means easier to get your hands on lots of high quality taobao embellishments without breaking the bank.

This one is just a guess but I think Russia isn't nearly as "everyone is special!" as the US so there's actual societal value in working your ass off to improve your skills and make something great. Here we're supposed to look at a cosplayer in full prop armor and another in a kimono stapled together form a bedsheet and call them equally great cosplayers.

>>8273312
No kitties for you. Gif is10 Mb, max allowed is 4 mb and if u try resizing it the quality becomes too shit

>>8273460
Someone else feel free to chime in, but a Russian friend of mine told me that a lot of Russian cosplayers work in groups. IE one person does all the wigs, one does all the trimming, one does all the drafting, one wears the costume, etc. So you're looking at the product of a team of cosplayers, which is why they're often so mindblowing.

>>8272058
I want to kiss this person on the mouth.

>>8272068
oh man i wish i knew where to get gorgeous trims and appliques like that. sooo goood

>>8271692
What character/cosplayer is this?

>>8272309
You're a selfposting shitfag who can't make cosplays from real material and thus needs to duct-tape everything together, and by posting a link to your pic you net more views to feed your dumbass ego... how far off am I anon?

>>8274411
Not sure what he is cosplaying but his username is art J.Hart Design

>>8274411
Cosplay is LeNoir Elementalist from Granado Espada and >>8274463 gave you his name.

>>8271692
It's kinda sad how he wears all his cosplay because he has a cute enough face, but his shoulders are just so incredibly broad... It kinda ruins the look of the elementalist.

>>8274427
Anon, the file was too large to post. I'm not sure if that's their exact reason, but that's the most obvious one to me.

>>8274577
Eh as a girl with really wide shoulders I don't see it. I think it's more the shape of his arm puffs anyways, how his puff straight out while the elementalist has them wider at the bottom.

Sure smells like summer in here.

>>8271717
It's probably a wierd finish on the horns because in the comic thats actually a felt hat and it looks like they made it with felt (if i remember correctly??) Anyways, its a hat.

>>8274790
the kids aren't even out of school yet, chill.

>>8274847
it is coming tho ;__;

Just saw this. The comic book version of The Walking Dead.

>>8279673
I'm diggin' it. Must have been hard to get an entire group together.

God bless the people posting actually impressive cosplays ITT instead of shitposting. Saging because the derailment needs to end.

>>8274790
Ikr

>>8272068
Anybody know where to get trims and the such that are this gorgeous? Ebay/Taobao or local sewing supply stores?

>>8279705
They have practically all those trims at my local Joann's so I'm assuming you can find them at one near you.

>>8279673

Personally, this is a little off-putting to me but it's an interesting idea.

>>8280282
>TFW will never walk in a Joann's

Why can't Americans get on this level?

>>8280644
Because priorities. The Japanese care the most about looking as good and being as accurate as possible. Even before America was special snowflake "anybody can cosplay!" bullshit, we placed a lot more emphasis on craftsmanship and making your own costumes.

>>8280677
>being as accurate as possible
Are you kidding? Have you SEEN the shit Japanese cosplayers do? It's all about aesthetic, looking good trumps accuracy 99% of the time

Picture related, these sisters
Not really "impressive" but I always love both of their cosplays.
They often do pretty rare cosplays that aren't shitty quality.
I just kinda wanted to express my love for them.

>>8280677
Yeah, no. Japanese cosplayers focus more on how they look in the cosplay than the cosplay itself.

Pic related.
Shiny satin fabric, inaccurate wig, glitter and rhinestone trim, construction paper skull... but who cares, right? She's asian and so kawaii!

>>8284069
>that panda makeup
ehhh

>>8272058
>commissions

Do not commission from him. A little after he started, there were posts on is DA and coscom with people nit getting what they commissioned from him. He even stopped answering their messages. don't know if that's changed or not.

>>8284045
Source? Google image search just brings up a bunch of selfies of regular people. I want to see an actual non-silly selfie of them.

>>8284125
they're mostly on instagram I think so search for them there
