/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Unfortunately there really isn't a whole lot of variety when it comes to Pokemon cosplays. It's mostly just Misty and the Eeveelutions

What character is this? I love her overall look!

>>8919557
Glacia.

>>8919557
Glacia. One of the Elite Four from the Hoenn region.

Also I really dislike Serena's current look. That silly hat..

I'm really glad this thread exists. I'm planning on cosplaying Zinnia. Her design is one of my favorites and I really liked the Delta episode.

I'm currently trying to figure out what to make the scales on her cloak and her mega evolution ankle bracelet out of. Any suggestions?

>>8919565

She needs more love

Craft foam will be ideal for the job. To have the ankle bracelet coil around your leg, sandwich wire in between two layers of craft foam, it work wonders in retaining shapes. Though you need to be careful with the paint you use as it will crack if you flex it so much, use paint that is more flexible.

Really love seeing pokemon cosplays that are not gijinka, really. I am planning to do Sapphire from Pokemon Special, it'll be nice to see more pokemon trainer cosplays.

Does anyone else think Serena's new look is overdesigned? I like her with short hair but there's just so much going on with her outfit.

>>8919776
Same here. I always found gijinka cosplays to be rather boring

>>8919790
I don't mind the short hair, though I personally would prefer it to have a little more poof to shape her face better. However the rest of the outfit lacks balance.

Her first outfit (hair aside) everything is balanced. There's only three colours, (red, pink and black.) and they contemplate each other. The silhouette is straightforward and despite it having it have less addons than previous female designs it's a simple clean look.

With her new look, the colours and silhouette clash against each other. It's not exactly bad, however now we have the colours blue, pink, brown and red. The layered dress would be find on it's own since it makes a statement to begin with, but then there's this clunky red jacket that distracts from the initial shape of the dress. If the jacket was cropped then the whole look would fare better imo. The shape of the hat for me is too narrow and makes her look a little too mature? I understand it was the mark of a new leaf or whatever, but paired with the short hair it bothers me.

I would prefer the design to have
>No blue ribbon.
>A jacket that doesn't ruin the dress's silhouette (Either cropped or none.)
>Better fitting hat.

Then it'd be fine. It's just too clunky for me.

>>8919853
The brown boots bug me so much. They should have kept her old shoes and hat. I hate her pink dress because it's not a pleasant color of pink, and the slit in the middle is just too much. Long cardigans with dresses are cute irl, but dear god. The ugly pink dress, plus the cardigan and the brown boots? It's all over the place. I can understand the blue ribbon because "m-muh husbando Satoshi gave it to me!" They should have picked an alt outfit or something from the game.

>>8919502

>those dots on her face

dang, the clothes are nice but her face with the dots doesn't help.

But I can't really judge her fairly on something she has no power over.

All in all I like her cosplay though its really cute..

>>8919853
she's not getting rid of the blue ribbon with her short hair, anon.

>>8919853
That's because that's whoever's designing for the anime did that and not whoever designed for the games. I'm pissed because there were so many good outfits for girls in the game and the anime decided to go UNIQUE!!

any cosplays of qt pokeboys by dudes?

>>8920291
moles, anon

>>8921931
This triggers my accuracy autism.

>>8919631
I really appreciate this.

>TFW may never get to bang a rosa cosplayer

fuck my life.

>>8922059
tfw will never get to bang a Nate cosplayer

fuck my life

We need more silver-haired dreamboat cosplay.

I saw this thread and decided to ask here first instead of creating my own thread.

I'm looking for the perfect dress jacket for my Origins Giovanni Cosplay.
I have everything else since it's a very simple cosplay really, but I just can't settle on a right jacket.

Every dress jacket / blazer I see either has huge folds on the sides down the middle and/or four pockets.

Is this one of those things where I'm just going to have to settle or pay a tailor?
I strive for picture perfect accuracy since it's such a simple cosplay to do!

>>8924949

>>8924851
>huge folds down the sides
You mean the lapels? If you don't want to pay a tailor, buy a seam ripper (they're a sewing tool, usually $2 or cheaper) and take out the lapels yourself. You'll need to sew in order to close the blazer back up after taking out the lapels, though, but it shouldn't be too difficult.

Otherwise, if you found a cheap blazer with the lapels, you could take it to a tailor for alterations.

>>8924964
Thank you for the advice!

tired of seeing Hilda/Misty/Rosa cosplays. anyone got pictures of the other girl trainers? (May, Leaf, Lyra, Dawn, etc)

>>8924949
Pretty sure this is Disgaea, anon.

>>8926129
I never get tired of Hilda cosplays. Fuck all of those Misty cosplays though

>>8926129
I'm very tempted to do a kris cosplay... I've even been considering buying an original pokegear.

I heard they also had a Shelly but she was sick on the day of the con. Real shame...

>>8928431
I love this cosplay! I never see Giovanni cosplayers

>>8926142
Yep. Flora beast.

I've cosplayed for a completely different series and somebody asked me if I was a bellossom even though the color palette was completely off and I had no flower pieces in my hair. They just saw petals and thought I was a bellossom.

>>8926940
>emerald.jpg
what

cosplayed the honeymooner/tourist trainer class once!

Pokewood!

>>8926227
This makes me sad I love Misty and have always wanted to cosplay her but everyone hates Misty cosplays. Is it because you don't like Misty or because it's over done?

>>8929052
CUTE! Did you get noticed though? They sorta look more like plainclothes.

I've been thinking about doing a Team Rocket duo with my gf, or the X/Y Pokémon breeders.

>>8929344
I just never like Misty as a character when I was growing up

I cosplayed Honeymooners with my boyfriend last weekend. We didn't get recognized that much but then again we didn't have much time to walk around in it since we both had to work during the con.

>>8929344
I loved Misty both as a child and adult. Cosplay her if you want to, anon!

>>8929392
We did get recognised! It helped that we were carrying around Emolga/Dedene plushes; also there was a pokemon tournament on that day and we had created a duo team of pokemon with gender differences (Nidoqueen, nidoking, etc) to participate in double battles with. People generally clicked when they saw that!

I've got a decent Morty I've worn over the years. Badly needs repairs, and I'm ashamed I've never worn it with a wig (multiple online shopping horror stories). Thinking of finishing it properly for Momocon.

>>8919651
I want to love these, but they are both so poorly constructed. I think I just like the wigs and photography.

>>8919781
Again, I want to love it, but only Green/Blue (fuck pokespe and the early green/blue games, the male) actually looks good

>>8921736
amazing

>>8921931
How can you fuck up hex maniac so badly? That shade of purple is killing something inside me and her makeup just looks old. Her legs are
100% off

>>8924949
>>8926142
thank god, thought it was a maractus gijinka

>>8928444
10/10 would set as desktop background

Any more Skyla, Korrina, Morty, Zinnea or Winona?
>tfw i thought zinnia would floor the cosscene
>also no good Skyla cosplayers ever

>>8919853
The short hair is fantastic.

I just wish there was more variety in Misty cosplayers. She has a lot of different outfits that would still be recognizable if cosplayed.

>>8931919
Speaking of Hex Maniac

I always wanted to see someone cosplay her

>>8921736
love her so much

>>8932326
Nah, honestly those are all generic as fuck.

Her main costume is iconic. The rest are just normal outfits with orange hair.

>>8929052
>>8930758
I think you'd have to carry around a pair of Pokemon props or something to make it obviously not plainclothes

>>8933887
> Just normal outfits with orange hair
Seriously? They are VERY distinctive.

Her goldeen dress and the hairstyle scream Misty. Same if anyone did her mermaid costume.
Her yellow and red outfit is a given in the later episodes - almost as known as her first outfit.
Her gym outfit is very easy to notice if you've played the games. Same for her tight shorts and towel look.

Do you even Pokemon, anon? The only reason people do her first outfit is because they are lazy, know nothing about her, or are attention whores - mostly 2 and 3 since all of her outfits are fairly easy baring her mermaid look (as well as her yukata, kimono,and cheongsam)
She also wears so many swimsuits, its not even funny. They would even be better than seeing her shorts and suspenders 24/7.
Though, if you were to wear any swimsuit other than her white one from the games you'd probably have to have other characters or Togepi.

any good may with the contest outfit out there?

>>8929052
These are adorable! My bf and I are going to cosplay them at our next con.

>tfw I sort of want him to propose to me when we're cosplaying them
I doubt it will happen but I can still dream

>>8924964
T-that's not how lapels work. Usually they're "grown on" from the facing, so they can't just be taken off with a seam ripper. They'll need to cut the lapel along the fold line, leaving the facing, then hand tack the leading edge back together, unless they unpick the lining and go inside to do it that way.

The balance of a suit is often dependent on the lapels. Giovanni's suit is a lapel free jacket. His character is based around looking good. Don't half-ass this.

>>8933915
how do they even see?

>>8942841
It's Pokemon/Nintendo logic. It ain't gonna explain itself

>>8932326
I love her Goldeen outfit, and I really want to cosplay it, but I also have a large chest so I feel like it'd be weird to cosplay a 10 year old in that outfit. So I'm hoping someone else cosplays it because it's such a cute outfit

>>8928368
that's a really nice field.

>>8928492
I like the little dog!

>>8928368
How do they make the grass go all wavy?

>>8919631
the dude behind the Team Magma leader looks Bobby Moynihan from SNL.

>>8968943
welp, I'm pretty aroused by this.
also, extremely ashamed...

>>8972614
It's okay anon, I too get turned on by basic bitch cosplays

Those wings are lovely

HOW THE FUCK DO I STYLE A WIG FOR HIM AHHHHH

>>8975678
You can probably just google "how to spike a cosplay wig" and get a bunch of results. And remember to search on youtube also

>>8975678
Look on Malindachan's DA she might have posted something

Made Sana (Shauna) over a year ago but I love her character. Also did Serena's new outfit but it looks better in the anime than irl. I prefer the old outfit in terms of design, and will do that eventually also. I want to make an Arbok and finish Touko (Hilda) moreso.

I am really tempted to make a giant Arbok for Jessie. Megacon is coming. My friend was asking me advice for Eevee today, they better get cranking, less than a month.

>>8980799
Cute!

>>8980799
Too bad the wig is completely wrong.

Any Clemont/Citron ones?
