/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm just dumping a few pics to get things rolling

Ayy, always down for a Jojo thread. Dumping what I have saved.

>>8710005
Love this Cream and Silver Chariot.

>>8709887
I've never really thought about it, but Joho is pretty much perfect as a couple or bro cosplay

>>8709887
That Crazy Diamond is terrifying

Does anyone know what exact kind of suit Kira wears? I want to make one of my own since the buy-online version is shit.

Self-posting my Ferdinand. I really wish more people cosplayed minor villains.

>>8716648
purple i think

>>8709895
I'm in loveeee

>>8718173
Any more of this Josuke?

>>8720047

>>8714183
I've been trying to get my super tall friend into Jojo so we can do stand/stand user duos. Maybe one day!
>>8709895
I want to hold this Kakyoin's hand and feed them cherries. 11/10.

>>8709895
>>8709900
>>8711498

Absolute perfection.

>>8709895
I really want to like this Kakyoin but the lack of eyebrows kills it for me.

>>8711498
Praise pitcha

>>8709900
Would have been perfect if they weren't spliced together. 9/10

>>8723841
It wasn't done for the intention you think.

im doing Bruno in a pair of weeks, and i have no idea how i should do the tattoo thing in his chest; any ideas?

>>8726265
I've seen it done several different ways. Some people just paint it on their chest, some people do a paper cut out, some people paint it onto a nude bodysuit. The only thing about painting it on your body or a bodysuit is you'd have to be super careful if you want it to look neat.

>>8725753
It was OK until jnig eye makeup

>>8726265
You can buy a temporary tattoo or print your own. This one's on Taobao so it probably wouldn't get to you in time unfortunately.

>>8726865
DON'T BUY THIS ONE!!

Tried it, does not work. Lines refuse to transfer no matter what I tried.

I actually really like this Jolyne. No bully pls.

>>8727511
yikes......

>>8727547
More like
"Yare Yare daze.."

post some good lisa lisa, they're hard to find

What wig should I get for Giorno? I was going to get a lace front from Arda, so I was thinking either the Matilda or Imaldris.

>>8731257
I used Imladris for mine but I think either could work.

>>8728776
The gap between his pants and his pink shoes make me laugh for some reason. I guess bc they look like women's shoes? I think socks might help, even if they're not canon...

>>8731898
There are some depictions of Jotaro with his ankles showing. It does look a little odd in the cosplay, I'll give you that

>>8730703

I kinda like this one.

>>8726265
The thing on his chest isn't actually a tattoo it's a lace vest/shirt sorta thing. So maybe try that?

>>8716847
there are no canon colors in jojo

Best way to do the pattern on Bruno's suit? I've figured out the rest of the costume but I'm really nervous about messing up the pattern.

>>8739909

go all the way, make them actual zippers.

>>8739914
Oh, don't worry I'm making the zippers actual zippers. I was asking about the tiled black pattern.

>>8739918
I think >>8739914 was referring to making the actual pattern of Bruno's suit with zippers like pic related.

>>8739921
Oh oops. Though I don't think that'd look too good unless you were going for a stylized look like them, since his pattern is on the fabric.

>>8734945
Holy shit. There's ONE panel in the manga where it kind of looks like that. On all of Buccellati's figures, other art, etc., it's a tattoo. I hate this argument.

>>8709895
sugoi

>>8727511
>trying to make the lines work
>ever

>>8740100
It just makes more sense as a lace top thing, (and might be easier cosplay wise as a lace top if you've got to wear a binder/other undergarments) like Diavolo's for example.

>>8742363
I hate this...
>Genderswapped Polnareff, the best character
>Smallest character is Jotaro, the Tallest character

>>8742368
yeah that polnareff is just lazy but the jotaro would be okay if they weren't right next to those tall guys

>>8742368
It looks like they genderswapped Polnareff to get out of doing the wig properly.

>>8740548
Yeah, it makes more sense and that's fine. I'm just tired of people saying it actually /is/ a lace thing for their trans-Bruno HCs. He's in the mafia, let him have his tattoos.

As a warning about the lace thing tho - I have seen pre-made Bruno cosplays that have something like that and they didn't resemble the pattern at all. If you DO go this route, just be wary about that!

>>8742425
Oh god yeah the Trans HC's bs I agree with you on that.
>>8742363
The Jotaro here is pretty good. I just wish jojo cosplayers would stop doing the face line thing. 99% of the time it really doesn't look that good.

I really dig how this Bruno handled their lace/tattoo thing.

>>8743133
Damn, that must have taken forever.

Which would be more interesting to see? A "fisted" Kakyoin, or a Vanilla Ice with an Iggy attached to his foot? I'm trying to decide which one to do.

>>8743243
Vanilla Ice for sure. Don't see enough of him.

>>8743133
I agree! That's nice.
>>8743243
I've wanted to cosplay "fisted" kakyoin using a similar method to this. https://youtu.be/V6p5mbp_M98
But alas, too expensive.
Go for Ice!

Anyone tried or seen anyone else do Ringo Roadagain or Wekapipo from SBR with their actual beard and hair? I've got the facial hair genes for it and there's a SBR group at my next con, so I'm sorta considering it, but the idea of trimming my beard the day before the con and fucking up is terrifying.

>>8743243

>>8722549
Why is he trying to break his back

>>8746711
you must be new to JoJo

>>8743919
No, all the Ringos I've seen were probably grills or tiny manlets that cannot into facial hair. If you do it, show many pics. He's probably my favorite character design from SBR.

>>8746543
shoop aside, that hair raises so many questions. It looks like fondant.

>>8726265
its not a tattoo tho, its a lace part on his suit

>>8747596
Have you even read this thread?

Would it be too ott to do glam rock makeup for part 5?

>>8747905

lipstick and mascara are probably fine, looking like a twister sister reject is not.

>>8747583
I think the "hair" is overly shoopped glued on felt.
Anyway isn't this that one girl who deleted her tumblr cause she got hate for blackfacing for pucci?

>>8747905
If you're doing Abbachio go for it.

>>8747939
I saw this guy at winter convention in Finland earlier this year. He told me the hair was felt which was put on with liquid latex.

>>8747920
>twister sister
This made me giggle.

>>8731898
No way.

>>8734945
stap

>>8720047
These two also did a hella good Gilgamesh and Saber Alter last Afest

>>8709895
top Kak

>>8742391
Yeah. And the wig still looks like shit anyway. Even if they were gonna do genderswapped they could have style it jfc

>>8727511
i think it would look nicer without the lines, it's not all stylized like borderlands

Part of me really loves the idea of using fur for bucci

>>8753690
I think the idea is interesting, but because of the fur, you lose the silhouette that his suit has because of the thickness of the fur.

>>8748649

>>8759805
I just want this trend to die.

>>8759805
>>8759937

Honestly? I don't think they that bad. I don't see what the problem is.

>>8759970

It's lazy (used as a way to get out of contouring properly), it's usually done by anime only fags, and 99% of the time it looks horrible.

Going to do a Johnny cosplay this year at MTAC.
I'm working on bulking my upper body and growing out my hair.
Any tips on how I should do the horse shoe on his bandana?
Also, wheelchair or no wheelchair?
Pic related is what I'm going for.

>>8759805
Those are the same two guys as OP. They both stopped doing the lines a few months back.

>>8757407
>jewtaro

>>8760337
>not using a wig
i hope i don't see you

>>8759805
I feel like if you're gonna draw the lines on with makeup, go full borderlands and add the lines to the whole outfit and not just your fucking face.

That way your shitty design choice can at least be cohesively shitty.

I want to cosplay Jolyne, but the wig is kinda out of my skill level. Does anyone know a reliable place to buy one? I know its a long shot.

>>8760337
Don't wheelchair. Also do a wig.
>>8761090
The ones on ebay aren't that bad actually

>>8761110
I actually bought on from ebay, and the quality was horrible

>>8761120
I bought one from ebay too and mine was actually fine? I styled/tweaked it a bit though. It's not grossly shiny or cheap feeling.

>>8761120
then again, the seller was from china and their service wasn't very good. I did check their rating and it was pretty good, but my experience with them just did not satisfy me .

>>8761110
Thanks for the tips! I'll be sure to use a wig.

ngl they give off that vibe like they're huge douchebags. Dunno can anyone confirm?

>>8763870
he needs sum milk

>>8760337
Do what I'm going to do. Just get one of those stick horses and walk around with that. Or go the Monty Python route and get someone to follow you while clanging coconuts. I'm still trying to figure out how I can get boots in the same color as the pants and how I can get them to blend together. I'm thinking about maybe sewing them together.

>>8765572
Make shoe covers out of the pants fabric. I've done pant shoes too for my F.F. cosplay, It's worth it but make sure you sew them the right way in cause its a bitch to take out.

Working on my Hol Horse.

Pissed that the person who was meant to be J Geil with me has pulled out though.

>>8765621
Bless you anon, Hol Horse needs more cosplay love. I myself am working on several Jojo cosplays at the moment. If anyone has done Jolyne does anyone have any tips for doing her web pattern on her outfit? Other than painting?

>>8765637
I commissioned someone to make my jolyne, what they did was actually pretty neat (though my whole experience with them was hell), they used elastic for the web design and sewed it on. My costume is 4-way stretch so the elastic can stretch with the outfit.

>>8765786
That was pretty much my plan since I want it to retain the stretch and not look messy. Thanks anon

>>8765798
no problem!

>>8761110
do you know any reliable seller on ebay?

>>8766441
For a Jolyne wig? Any of the ones that have that "Top Rated Plus" thing are good.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-JOJOs-Bizarre-Adventure-JOLYNE-KU-Style-Dark-Blue-with-4-Colors-Cosplay-Wig-/252026725920?var=&hash=item3aadf6a620:m:mUK4WF5RvEeDV3QAIp24xfQ

I know the wig is also originally from Taobao, So if you're really worried try there maybe?

>>8763892
The Caesar is a really chill guy. Met him at a local FL con, really nice, knows his shit about the manga too.
The Joseph is a womanizing asshole.

>>8766590

Any stories for the Joseph?

>>8766590
Ah okay nice, I am friends/acquainted with someone who's actually friends with the Caesar so that's cool. But yeah the Joseph though no thanks, telling by his pictures he just seems so arrogant.

I saw these guys at supercon, it was cool to see a Tonio, also their fabric choices were pretty neat.

I really wanna do a Josuke cosplay sometime, can someone suggest how to make the clothes?

>>8769509
For the jacket it's probably best to start with a basic suit jacket pattern.(Of which you're going to have to modify of course) Pants wise I've cosplayed Koichi and all their pants are really similar, I took a pair of loose pj pants cut them up and drafted a pattern for that making them much baggier in areas, worked well.

>>8769513
Different anon here. Could a men's suit jacket pattern be easily modified into a jacket that has a high collar like Josuke's?

Saw this weekend at holmat

>>8776511
Those wings are glorious

>>8763892
The Cesar never credited someone for his Draven cosplay and passed it as his own, and he ran a smear campaign against another Draven cosplayer. He is forever a douche in my book.

>>8776644
the "smear campaign" turned out to be legit. turned out the guy was sexually harassing girl cosplayers at FL events, even sexually harassed AlyChu
can't say here nor there on the guy, talked to him, he's nice, glad he stopped doing the stupid fucking lines that every animefag does for jojo

>>8777090
Glad you learned to spell your friend name right.

>>8777090
>harassed Alychu
i wouldnt harass this with a 12 foot pole

>>8776511
I was also at holmat.

>>8777170
Don't bring that trash here, take it to the dump where it belongs.

>>8777167

What name?

>>8762434
Gross whores

/r/ing more Steel Ball Run cosplays. Especially Diegos or Hot Pants

>>8783795
Time to start rebuilding my folder

>>8783826

>>8783830

>>8783795
This is encouraging me to finish my Hot Pants cosplay.

What would be a good wig for Johnny? I was thinking about the Jaguar from Arda

>>8786107
I wouldn't go for that wig since it's so heavily layered in the back, Johnny does have them but not that much. I would go with the Inigo and do some minor styling.

I have never made a cosplay before and I want to do a Jojo character.
Can you guys give me a list of easy jojo cosplay to do please ?
Also I am a guy and not a manlet

?????????

>>8787214
All JoJo cosplay is pretty difficult. You could go the easy route and do young Jonathan or Dio.

>>8787214
>Also I am a guy and not a manlet
Go for Joseph then, he's arugably one of the easiest.

Jeans,Boots,Gloves,belt,scarf,wig,shirt (or an altered tank top if you're lazy) optional clackers or some other prop.

>>8787572
I am tall but also really skinny.
Do I have to go to the gym to get fit ?

>>8787985
You're just gonna sit there and counter with some whiny fucking excuse every time you get spoonfed.
Fuck off and do it yourself.

Respect for this guy wearing the lipstick haha.

Yo, so I'm a newfag on this board so I'll be brief.
I made a shitty Old Joseph cosplay, and want to make it not so shit by making a proper Hermit Purple.
How should I make it?
I have no idea how to even start making it

>>8788388
The best Hermit Purple I ever saw was Overbeck's he used this neon purple EL wire and used a little dab of hot glue and blew on it to make the spikes.

The wire is only 10 bucks too: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B4I06TM/ref=pe_385040_121528360_TE_dp_1

I hope this is helpful Anon.

>>8787985
It's easy as fuck. I'm currently working out for my Johnny cosplay ( since I'm doing his sleeveless hoodie version). You just need to start.

>>8788674
Thinking about buying this in yellow to make the Golden Rotation. Have no clue how I would without it looking cheap.

>>8788962
Then experiment or forever cry about it.
No one has gotten good just by finding handouts, you need to some shit yourself.

I took this one on an event that happened a year ago in my city. Thoughts?

>>8788150
you're supposed to wear makeup in this series' cosplays you dolt don't act suprised

>>8787985
Get fit or cosplay from later parts where everyone isn't as buff. It's not that hard man.

requesting some lesser cosplayed minor characters/villians!

>>8790008

this is super cute.

Probably my favorite Josuke out there.

>>8791445
I want that scarf so badly

>>8791445
fuck, that wig is so clean that it's gving me a boner.

Are there any cosplays of The World? I'm thinking about doing one eventfully, but I need to really bulk up first.

>>8788674
Heck yeah, thanks for the help based anon.
Finally I'll have something decent about my costume

>>8791683
This is probably one of my favorites.

>>8791101
>graduation cap garland
It's shitty and I love it

>is girl with very obviously girl figure
>loves male characters because they are so cool and no female character will ever be that cool

>suffering

I must live with my choices

>>8791445
good except for that shitty looking hair

>>8793070
goodbye

>>8793705

>>8792930
Holy shit I didnt notice that I'm laughing

>>8793705
WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY?!

>>8789023
What do you think of girls cosplaying them? Wrong body type and all.

Requesting Avdols!

>be small girl and white
>can never be avdol
Why live?

>>8794133
Fuck man, I'm a girl that cosplays Jojo. I haven't cosplayed anyone like Joseph or Jonathan (I know my limits) but honestly I could probably care less. Can't do much about your bodytype when you're naturally smaller female. Hell I'm planning to cosplay WR and I'm short but I plan on wearing shoe risers and shit to make me taller among other things.

Anyway I forget where I was going with this but cosplay whoever the heck you want from jojo just dont do the fucking face lines and get a wig.

>>8794137
goodbye

>>8709900
Who is the Caesar? I want moar.

>>8794169
He's also the joseph and the Dio in
>>8792877
He has a cosplay page like Billy cosplay on FB or something

>>8794133
Personally, I think it's like with any cosplay. Cosplay what you like, ones that suit your body type usually look better, but sometimes you gotta just cosplay what you love.

I've got this version of Midler planned. I need to trim My waist a bit more and I think I'll be comfortable enough to do it.

>>8794165
Oh fuck off

>>8794561

What are some good brands for unusually colored lipstick?

>>8795435
NYX Wicked or Macaron lippies are my go to Jojo color lipsticks. There's every color you could need for jojos.

>>8795445
Thanks! I'll check them out!

Can anyone identify the kind of fabric this mikitaka used to make their uniform?

>>8796087
Found their ACP, it says they used metallic spandex.
http://www.acparadise.com/acp/display.php?c=76394

I fucking love this guys gold lipstick

>>8796213
i think this is the same guy

Any decent Lisa Lisas out there? I feel like I still look a bit young to cosplay her, but in a few years I'd love to.

>>8795435
Limecrime

>>8796491
You're joking right.

>>8796502

>>8710007
I have always wanted to cosplay Giorno but now I want to be Golden Experience

>>8796521
Limecrime is terrible. go with NYX. sage for stupidity.

>>8796688
>still not getting it

>>8795435
Like it was mentioned before, NYX carries pretty good lipstick colors for Jojo. I have their Chambord and Pistachio from the Macaron collection, both very pigmented and creamy, imo.
Inglot also has a few shades that are good, I personally really like their stick lipsticks, which I own in 281 (purple/violet) and 288 (a really vivid blue). I also own 92 (a bright lime green), from their Freedom System lipstick shades but it's much much creamier (comes in the same shape as an eyeshadow), harder to apply and takes some effort to not look patchy.
Makeup Revolution London also carries a few shades that are good for Jojo cosplays but they can be a little patchy. They cost 1£ only though, so they're good for those in a tight budget. I own their orange Vice and quite like it, it's creamy and needs a few layers to build up but the color is pretty bright.
If you have a bit more money to spend, Jeffree Star's liquid lipsticks look fantastic and some colors can definitely be worn for JJBA cosplays and since they're long lasting, they can probably hold up through a whole con day.

I can post swatches/worn photos of the ones I own if anyone needs!

Does anyone have any advice for making a Polnareff wig? I've seen some advice where people back comb the hair in the middle and glue hair around it. Also just putting a peice of foam in the middle of the hair to make it stand. I really want to make the wig perfect, as I feel like he doesn't have much else to his outfit besides the hair. I also don't want it to look like a helmet like most do.

>>8798091
Best way I've seen to go about it is the foam method + Glued hairline like the pic related. Just dont make the foam base too large so you can avoid the helmet look.

Cosplaying stands looks so rad

>>8748906
Underrated comment.

Alright guys, I need some opinions. I'm working on a Weather Report cosplay and I'm not sure if I should make his outfit a jumpsuit with a zipper in the back or a seperate top and pants? Looking at some other cosplays of him I've seen both.

>>8800618
I think the jumpsuit looks more like his design than a separate top and pants

>>8800618
i made mind like a jumpsuit

>>8801476
>>8801545
Basically what I was thinking, thanks!

Going to Otakon was worth it for this and this alone.

If we know that line faces are bad, how do you do Speedwagon?

>>8803325
contouring.

>>8803369
The eye line things?

>>8803393

the things under his eyes? Look at his game models, those are eye bags.

Hey I'm just wondering, I'm a mildly chubby trans guy and not at all fit to cosplay a jojo but I love the series, I was considering cosplaying Funny Valentine (when he's fat, of course). I do cosplay other characters but I saw myself posted to the bad cosplay thread once so I doubt I'll cosplay them again. Would it work if I cosplayed Fat!Valentine? Or should I just give up trying to cosplay from this series.

>>8803778
You most likely didn't get posted because you are fat, but because you had bad construction, bad fabric or had lines on your face.

>>8803833
This was my Narancia cosplay that I did (My sister is the Mista) and I know we look awkward as hell (this surprisingly wasn't the picture that got posted, but it was this cosplay) but if there's any way I could improve you could give me tips? I'm a beginner at a lot of stuff

>>8803847
It's not terrible, it's just mediocre as far as I can tell from the photo.

First of all, make up for both of you. Even if you don't go full jojo, you'd benefit from a more even face.

Second is the stripes, which should be more and more evenly painted.

Last are his shoes, which don't look like that... they are more like boots.

>>8803855
Thank you for the advice for the first two, and as far as the last one goes I can't really afford different shoes for each new cosplay sadly... Though I could try my best. Thank you very much though, it is really appreciated and I'm sorry for clogging up the thread

>>8803877
For shoes, find similar base shoes at a thrift store or a cheap place like Ardene's (which often has 2 for $15 sales at the end of the seasons) and then make boot covers. You can make yourself some pretty convincing shoes pretty cheap that way.

>>8790783

>the horrible painted lines on that top

why

>>8803397
Ok awesome you're right. Now that my friend has watched (pleb I know) part 1 and has seen the glory that is speedweed he wants to cosplay him like I hoped. We're thinking of sewing two wigs together for his poofy hair since all the wigs I've ever seen look like weak shit.

>>8803847
Lose weight.

>>8804448
>That bulge

My Dio cosplay I did for chibi pa.

>>8783795

>>8795313
Holy fuckballs that first Gyro.

>>8803778
I'm chubs and am considering doing Fatty Valentine. I think it'll be fine.

>>8783795
I hope you don't mind a selfpost, I recently finished my hot pants! Wont be attending any cons till later this year so no nice photos yet.

>>8805723
Love it. You're one of my fav Jojo cosplayers.

>>8805838
Thank you anon, I'm flattered!

>>8805723

Holy shit this is amazing, anon. May I ask what kind of fabric you used for the dress? I love it. Really amazing work.

>>8806386
Thank you! It's a stretch knit, specifically a rayon modal. Big pain to cut and sew properly but worth it.
