/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm looking at the archives, and did the last hread get nuked just because of some shitposts?

It's amusing how easily people in these threads get baited to go along with HWC.

>>9015933
Because of her shitposting and the retards who keep responding to her.

>>9015951
It was pretty tame in comparison to other threads tho that didn't get deleted.

I really didn't want to for the sake of my wallet but I've been lurking these threads and as corny as it is.. think I'm getting into it. A lot.
I've read some of the reasons for menhera and think it would be a good coping thing for my issues, that would be cute and stylish and make me feel good. I'm excited.

>>9016009
Sorry, forgot to contribute. Pretend my little spiel made sense, also.

>>9015951
HWC?

>>9015951
HWC?

>>9016056
a notorious shitposter on this board who recently has started becoming triggered about menhera

i loove menhera, and especially the silhouette of oversized t shirt over a short skirt & thigh highs, but the only really nice menhera shirts i can ever find have japanese writing on them.
as a really really white motherfucker who speaks zero japanese, it makes me feel 1. like an idiot for wearing a shirt i cant even read 2. like a weeb 3. kinda racist for using someone else's language just as an aesthetic thing
thoughts?

>>9016087
It's fine, it doesn't make you a weeaboo or racist. Think of those Superdry clothes, ask anyone who's wearing one of those what the Japanese writing says and I bet they can't even read the 'shinasai' part.

>>9016091
>>9016087
Most shops state what is written on the shirt anyways and in the worst case you can ask here.

i adore omocat's stuff, way too expensive so i'll probably never buy any, but a couple things theyve got now seem very menhera if coorded well

>>9016087
Personally I'd be more weirded out by wearing things with the star of David on them. It's on about the same level of wearing crosses but not everyone is bothered about it.
If you want to feel like less of a weeb wearing shirts with random Japanese on it just consider the fact that Asians will also wear shirts with English/French on them without understanding the language.

>>9016287
>Personally I'd be more weirded out by wearing things with the star of David on them.
Especially awkward considering the history of them being used in clothing, haha.

That's also true about the English and French. Hell, people in English-speaking countries even wear shirts with random English on them, look at young girl's clothing like Hollister or American Eagle that just say random things like "Believe".

>>9016015
Is Zombie Unicorn Jewelry decent quality? I like a few of their things but unsure if I should purchase.

>>9016406
I have a few pairs of her pill earrings and they're okay. Not super amazing or anything but I don't regret buying them.

>>9016406
I own a lot of her pieces. Really like them, her horns are particularly really good

>>9016844
Sex Pot just got them in stock.

>>9016406
No, her jewelry looks like shit from her photos. Also her designs are tacky

Anyone know the source for these?

>>9016009
I've already spent a good amount on menhera merch and I don't regret it yet, so.

>>9016406
It's okay. Like the other anon, I don't regret buying them. >>9016964 hasn't even bought anything, so don't take them seriously.

>>9016406
It's okay. I've bought earrings, a badge, horns and a ring. I've had to glue the ring back together quite many times

>>9017479
They are by sucredoll.theshop.jp (with a black version coming soon), they used to make original designs only but are mostly a Taobao reseller now.

>>9017518
Thanks anon! Wow, no kidding. And the only item I wanted was sold out :( maybe I can get the black instead.

There was a kemomimi suit maker who had really cute masks. I can't remember her name, but she also had a cyclops kigu similar to that one. Anyone have the name of get pixiv booth? Or know if she still sells those masks?

Are there any menhera or gurokawa bands/performers?

>>9017841
You mean Ozawa Dango as she is the only one doing cyclops kigs, she only sells her heads at conventions.
>>9018241
http://www.homicidols.com/ is delicated to that kind of idol groups.

>>9018295
I mean whoever this is. She goes by qiqi, I think? She had a pixiv booth with a lot of interesting masks (the ones you use when you're sick), but I can't find the link anymore. She makes fursuits and one of her suits is a cyclops, unless this is the same person, in which case excuse my faggotry.

sort of off topic but interesting, I'm doing research on schizophrenia at the moment and a lot of the articles and contributors to articles are Japanese.

>>9018724
you're right about that being off topic but not about it being interesting.

>>9016277
I have a mighty need.

>>9018320
Yes but she bought the cyclops mask off of Ozawa.

Thank you so so much, anon! Sorry I was being so vague. H-here's a picture for your trouble.

>>9016302
Oh God this is going to sound terrible, especially because I'm Jewish and have family members who are holocaust survivors, but a holocaust menhara outfit is something I can easily picture
>Black and white striped
>yellow star accessories
>contouring sharp cheakbones
>ashen makeup

I must be mentally ill to be thinking like this

>>9019502
Yeah, that's a little fucked.

Can't say I didn't think of a noose-based coord though....

...I need to stop.

>>9019672
I seen a lot of shirts on ttrinity with nooses and even pic related on this post >>9018910 have two girls being hanged so it's not bad really but it should be done in a tasteful matter I guess. But might as well have fun with it.

Anyone have any hair inspo? I have a hime cut but want to see what other type of bangs and style I can get that would look good for menhera.

>>9019852

>>9019860

>>9019865

>>9019866
I think I've seen these socks on taobao/AE before but I didn't bookmark it. Anyone know what search term to try? Tattoo tights isn't bringing up much. I'm gonna ask in the taobao thread too

>>9020057
You find them while searching for "Japan Pill" 药丸日本tattoo.

>>9019852
Sakanako wears nooses around her neck for some of her outfits (pic related). I don't get why you say it should be tasteful tho, Menhera isn't that in the first place with all the kawaii self-harming girls considering that it is about issues getting hidden behind the surface of kawaii culture.

>>9019852
>hair inspo
For that, you may have a look at https://twitter.com/candyesyrup considering the shop part of their salon is THE hotspot for goods by Menhera indie artists.

>>9020231
That noose looks really bad. I love menhera and I know that it's about mental health and stuff, but for me I guess there's a difference between wearing something that has a print of something and actually wearing the object?
I guess I just think that the noose is just very over the top and attention-grabby for what is meant to be a casual style. I don't know, it just rubs me the wrong way.

>>9020231
>>9020369
I think it's kind of cute to be honest. And it looks more just just bondage rope around her neck rather than a noose.

>>9020376
>>9020369
I think it would look better if it was worn like a bondage rope, like a harness but it doesnt look that bad imho

>>9020369
>has a print of something and actually wearing the object?
By your logic, nobody should be wearing syringes and pills either. Also, Sakanako is one of the founders of the Menhera Exhibition committee and Kuua Oyasumi's art sempai, she knows what she is doing and if it rubs you the wrong way, Menhera obviously isn't for you.

This thread is way slower than usual.

>>9023782
Why don't you contribute, then?

>>9023784
I've been posting images, but I mostly have things that were already posted.

>>9023971
So just like every menhera thread ever?

>>9019502
>>9019502
How is that menhera? That leans more towards guro. Menhera deals with stuff like self harm/medical cute.

any taobao store for this?

>>9023784
sauce on backpack?

>>9024035
lurk more newfag

>>9023980
It may just be my family, but the holocaust is treated like a kind of obsession? I know it's a traumatic and defining event in our history but it's like a hereditary mental scarring
>Find new distant family members?
>Talk about the holocaust
>Political discussions?
>End up talking about the holocaust
>It's brought up somehow in about 70% of family events.
So for me it does feel like a kind of mental illness of sorts

>>9024110
>to me

yeah, this is exactly my point. it's your opinion. not something that's actually menhera.

http://stores.ebay.com/Mystere-Wonderland just got uite a bunch of Junji Ito tees.

>>9024086
"newfag"
I made the tutorials in 2011 so YOU (the actual newfag) can buy in taobao and post it here. I'm not sure why do you think that not knowing any store that sell menhera (mostly because there is not translation to chinese ) transform you in a newfag. So , fuck you.

>>9025215
calm down newfag

>>9025215
>MY DAD WORKS AT MINECRAFT HE LET ME UNLOCK THE NEW CAPTAINSPARKLEZ MUSIC VIDEO
Shhhh it's okay.
Let's get back on topic ok?
Has anyone tried to make a menhera lolita coord with this dress? (Before someone asks it's BunnyandBlack's 'Nurse'.)

>>9025274
Hardly anyone got the dress in the first place.

>>9025215
http://fymenhera.tumblr.com/post/132444297602/are-there-any-taobao-shops

>>9025215
Well, if you weren't a newfag, you would have checked the archived threads and seen that people ask that question like ever single thread

>>9016091
Which is even funnier when you realise it's an English brand and the Japanese text reads something like "really not wet".

>>9026727
What's the kanji on the bottom left necklaces?

>>9026862
"Doku", which means poison.

The Hell Babies book is great and smells like delicious plastic

>>9025294
I thought they were fucking rereleasing this. God dammit, I just want my creepy kitschy lolita dress.

>>9027853
me too anon.. it's pretty cute. Not sure why other gulls hate it so.

>>9027853
They already did last year as fugly casual dress that nobody bought.

>>9028140
And the extra fugly new colorway was in their store in January
http://bunnyandblack.tumblr.com/post/138229965068/were-in-love-with-the-new-color-addition-to-our
Should be mentioned that the shop is pretty much dead, they only sell premades these days and don't bother to notify people via their newsletter about rereleases.

>>9028149
I love how they sell all this ugly shit and refuse to sell the ONE item people actually want.

>>9028498
They don't because nobody did buy the ugly redesign.

>>9028502
>sell super popular dress
>continue to promise re-release
>release ugly redesign that didnt sell
>refuse to sell original popular design

Are all designers this retarded?

>>9028140
>>9028149
Oh god. I saw that hideous colorway on their Tumblr but didn't realize that design was the rerelease. That's disappointing. They made it shittier.

>>9028504
The pictures of it worn are absolutely dreadful.
>here's the print you know and love
>but now, in a saggy ballsack cut that will look like shit on EVERY body type!

>>9028710
Its probably because that shit is easier and faster to make than a real dress.
But lord, those are so bad? Like if they were an underbust thing worn with a blouse, it would be cute.

>>9028710
Those girls look absolutely disgusting

>>9016087
when did tumblr invade cgl? seriouly though, the only people who care about westerners "appropriating" japanese culture is westerners.

>>9030566
ok faggot

>>9028710
Ugh. I thought they were suspender skirts from the initial photos.

>>9030663
I know. i wonder if they could be worn like that if you really tried?

I love these, but I don't believe the artist is selling them anymore.

I wanted to practice beading and decided to make a little patch for a friend. I figured it might be appreciated here.

Is gurokawa same with creepy cute?

you don't have to become aggressive if you dont know the answer for a question, anon. does your inferiority complex help with coording menhera?

>>9032536
but literally anyone who has lurked knows what gurokawa is

>aggressive
>telling someone to lurk more

this has to be b8.

>>9032540
I've been lurking since last November and I don't know if there is a difference between them, proving you wrong. Thank you.

well I don't know what to tell you other than you might be literally retarded.

>>9032555

You sound pretty proud of being that stupid. Maybe its just not for you.

>>9032560
I googled it my dear watson. There wasn't any satisfying results that's why I asked here. Seems like you have no idea either though.

>>9032561
I wasn't expecting trips with it, but I'm glad it happened

>>9032559
I'm not giving you an answer because you could have googled this and gotten your answer instead of embarrassing yourself like you are

>>9032564
>I'm retarded
>so others must be just as retarded

not my fault you can't even use google right

>>9032561
Really is it so hard of a question that anybody has no idea? I thought people here liked fashion kek

Are you able to read? >>9032564

you don't have to be this enthusiastic about being salty anon

You do realize there are a few people saying you're new and need to lurk more right?

There is nothing wrong with posting times though? Do you have a slow connection or something?

>>9032579

They are 8 seconds apart, clearly anon hasn't refreshed the page when posting.

Well replies generally appear without requiring me to refresh so idk

>>9032588
newfag.

>>9032520
Some say gurokawa is Japanese for creepycute and some say they are different and creepycute is some tumblrshit, I remember gulls fighting over this multiple times. Don't mind other anons desu. I don't think anything wrong with your question.

>>9032593
>spoon feeding summer

You should be culled.

>>9032589
so witty >>9032550

>>9032593
I remember same thing but honestly i wasnt frequent on menhera threads before

>>9032594
We must protect our reputation for being salty eh? God sometimes I believe every person here is a mentally unstable jealous bitch.

>>9032602
>every person

so you included.

>>9032602
>jealous

Why would anon be jealous of not knowing what gurokawa is?

>>9032604
I have my part of jealousy and I do not deny it.
>>9032606
Jealousy doesn't necessarily have much about this topic. Saltiness, on the other hand, has a lot.

>>9032612
calm down.

>>9032520
>>9032593
Just google "グロかわ" and all your questions answer themself.

>>9032954
Dude... Not everyone knows japanese...

>>9033482
no, but everyone should know how to google.

What would you guys think of a sort of casual menhera coord? not so much of a coord as it would be an edgy normie outfit but i feel like it'd be really cute. I love the style of menhera but I feel like a lot of the j-fashion elements don't work for my body type or practical purposes
for reference: i'm 5'2" and pretty busty (34DDD) so it's hard for me to pull off the boxy silhouette without looking tubby (which i am not)
>fitted menhera-style t-shirt
>destroyed black shorts
>thigh highs and black oxfords
>maybe some subtle accessories like choker, earrings, bracelet
>appropriately sickly cute makeup
does this count as menhera or would it be more "menhera inspired"? i'm thinking i'd go for a more dark color scheme what with the shirt/thigh highs/accessories, like reds and blacks

>>9033506
>5'2"
>ribcage is 34 inches
>not chubby

mmkay

>>9033509
well if you want to look at it like that, it's 32DDDD but that's not a size that's easy to find

>>9033527
No, at that point it becomes E. Do you not know how bra sizes work?

>>9033529
She's too busy stuffing her face to realize you don't just keep adding Ds to bra sizes.

>>9033531
kek

Wow. Over half this thread is just autistic children arguing back and forth.

>>9033529
yeah well american bra sizing isn't consistent with where they draw the E line. some places call a DDD an E
my point still stands that it's easier to find 34 triple than a 32E/F
>>9033531
you people are just catty and mean for no reason :(

>>9033540
my point still stands that if you can wear that band width and have it not be somewhat loose you can stand to sweat off a few pounds and your height.

I'm 5'6" and my bra size hasn't ever gone above 32(and that was before I lost weight). I don't know what the fuck you're doing at your height that you can wear a 34.

>hurr u r mean :(

welcome to 4chan

>>9033546
>hurr welcome to 4chan
alright edgelord, i asked about an outfit idea and instead got called fat over my bra's band size.
i'm 130 lbs on a good day, yes i could stand to sweat off about 10 pounds
have you maybe considered that other girls have different skeletal structures? not only that but bra sizing and whether or not one fits isn't always exclusively "oh your rib cage is x size so that has to be your band size 100% of the time", there's more leeway the larger your chest is because the band will sit differently on you than someone smaller
jesus, what a way to ruin someone's mood

>>9033562
>130lbs
>5'2
>said you weren't fat

>>9033582
>>9033583
kill you're selves both.

>>9033593
according to the BMI calculator you are very close to being undeniably overweight. anon, I'm 5'6" and you weigh 23 pounds more than I do. how does that make you feel?

>>9033593
>>9033581
>>9033572

>>9033593
Don't get angry, it's just /cgl/ being assholes. Don't take it seriously, I'm sure you're a cute chub. If it makes you feel any better, I'm 126 at 5'4", so I'm also petty chubby.

>>9033506
I think menhera isn't so much a full sub style as much as it is an element itself (but I might be wrong, so maybe others will comment). So your outfit does sound menhera, though subtle than many of the examples I've seen throughout the last few threads. It sounds cute. I say go for it.

>>9033607
you should lose weight too, your tits will start to point towards the ground and look like an old ladies

>>9033595

>body type accounts for you being fat as sin

kek. I guess it's hard to form an argument between gobbling down bigmacs

>>9033607
thank you for the actual response!
subtlety was what i was going for, i'm not sure i trust myself to bring on the theme strong without being tacky about it. i agree about the element, i think, but it's pretty strongly defined in what it is and isn't

>>9033621
you already have the mental illness part down pat with your obvious binge eating disorder so it works out great, huh fatty patty?

I guess this explains why you don't understand caloric intake either right? had a stroke from all that fast food and now you're literally retarded?

>>9033612
I pray never.

>>9033621
I understand! I think early on, you should definitely start subtle until you're more comfortable with it and see how those around you react.

you do know this is a casual fashion right?

I wanna see an OTT menhera coord. What would that sucker look like?

Sauce on this shirt?

>>9027771
I have this book and can confirm - smells like delicious plastic

>>9033687
I guess the outfits where actual medical clothes are worn count as that, nurse ones seem common.

>>9033696
It was a collab that was only avaiable for very limited time on Nemutai Company's shop as well as Park's local store.

Time to commit sudoku :^)

>>9034231
It's always the same person shitposting.

>>9034215
Not any of the previous dramu anons.
There's a difference between wearing what's available and wearing what fits. I used to wear 34B and alter the back to fit, and didn't get why the cups were both too big, didn't cover my nips and practically in my armpits. Then bought bras online, I wear 26E, cups right in the middle where they belong. Point being, my size was always 26E. My ribs are roughly 25in. At 5'6", I have no idea how someone can wear a band size of 34" and it both be the right size for a short person, and said short person not being fat. Gotta say, most women wear the wrong size though. My roommate is 5'1" and her ribs are 28", and she still thinks 34 is her size despite nicely fitting my bras on the loosest band setting.

Why the fuck are we still on this retarded shit

Pic for anon who wondered about OTT menhera

>>9034387
That's not Menhera, that's shit. If you look like an abuse victim you are doing it wrong, all articles regarding Menhera, included the japanese ones, say this is the point where you make fun of a fashion that is about a serious topic.

>>9034387
>>9034412
It's elfgutz BJD shit, yeah.

>>9034387
>unfitting makeup
>bad quality
>not even close to the theme
Anon plz.

>>9034387
Thats a shitty elfgutz cosplay.

>>9034387
This isn't even menhera. Might pass for gurokawa, but I dont see anything OTT about this

>>9034297
In all seriousness, large breasts will sag eventually. That's just gravity. Breasts are going to surrender to weight.

>>9034450
Idk man the autism is pretty over the top

please fuck off no one wants you around

>>9034510
make me faggot

>>9033662
yeah casual was definitely the wrong phrasing, but I was really wondering how subtle one could go while still having it be menhera

>>9034557
you can't, this had been discussed before. even normies will pick up on the medical themes

>>9034490
I like this a lot.

>>9034560
Not the same anon but it is definitely possible considering a lot of outfits have the focus only on the printed top piece and quite a lot have the medical part not visible at first glance, pic related.

>>9034562
>a giant pill isn't noticeable at first glance

I don't know if you're really this stupid or you just don't give others credit for picking up on things but it is definitely very noticeable.

>>9034557
A coord like >>9034464 might be less subtle, it's still menhera because it has those elements and a print of Menhera chan, but anyone that doesn't know about Menhera chan will just think that it's any other animu grill

>>9034570
Actually no, they don't. I have this shirt and every normalfag thinks it's a spinkle because it's so small.

>>9034598
>normal people lack the ability to look at a picture of a common object and identify it

They are probably being polite and or trying to scope out if you're mental/a druggie. once again, I'm not sure if you're dumb/autistic and you don't realize people pick up on things or you just assume everyone else is literally retarded.

>>9034602
You can't even see that thing unless you are closeup infront of a person, you really try too hard to keep shitposting.

Can we get a pic dump to get this thread back on track, or should we let it die?

>>9034604
maybe if the shirt is folded and it is obscured, but if you look at it its front and center and not "small" like is being claimed. are people in menhera threads really this socially inept that they assume nobody can recognize a common symbol? honest question.

>>9034611
It's thumb sized, that's far away from big and can you please stop shittposting? It's getting annoying.

>>9034614
You're acting like its microscopic. If someone is a normal talking distance away they are most certainly going to notice a thumb sized pill and be able to recognize it unless they are mentally retarded. I get that you want to be a special snowflake who is in some seekret menhera club normies totes have no idea about but any idiot can identify a common symbol.

>>9034621
I bet anon thinks people could look at these and not pick up on the medical theme

pic semi related, listen flavour currently has summer happy bags, not specially medical though :/

and US anons, do you feel weird wearing the star of david that they have on so many of their clothes? I can do the crosses, idk why the star makes me uncomfortable

>>9034735
because the hall of cost

>>9034735
Those aren't menhera. They can be used in menhera coords but on their own none of them classify as menhera.

>>9034743
Those are only examples for what can be inside, just saying.
>>9034735
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kagome_crest

>>9034751
But none of them are menhera. With menhera you have to have a theme of medical/mental illness related things.

>>9034753
Considering that includes pieces of the spring collection and both the eyepatch bunny and pill cupcake are part of it, you are wrong.

>>9034796
So the themes of suicide and self harm totes have nothing to do with mental illness am I rite?

>>9034797
Menhera is about negative thinking but why do I even talk to a shitposting newfag.

I'm convinced you are retarded

Super evolved Menhera chan

>>9034804
Totally forgot that everyone not happy is mental ill, thanks for reminding me!

>>9034804
cuz mental illness is so fashionable :p

>>9034808
Didn't say that, but the people who cut themselves and kill themselves are for sure with 0 doubt mentally ill. You can try to argue they aren't but that would just prove you're a troll

>>9034810
You do know that part of what's behind menhera is the Japanese protesting the way the mentally ill are treated right?

>>9034812
But art about negativity isn't "people", more so when it is puns that are supposed to be funny.

>>9034838
>backpedaling this hard
First you say Menhera is mental illness themed, now you say /some/ girls that are into Menhera are mental ill while mental ill people exist in every fashion. Lolita sure must be about ageplay then considering some people use it for their ageplay!

>>9034840
I said the mental illness themes were there or medical themes. you can go back and read my posts if you need to, I didn't say it was the only requirement.

>>9034383
All thread is about people having different bodies, do you really see a point in dragging this argument? My height is 5'1 and I'm 100 lbs and my underbust is 70 cms which is 32 band size. 34 band size is only 75 cms. I know I'm not fat and someone with 75 cm ribcage is totally not fat either.

>>9034842
You said Menhera=Mental Health=Mental Illness, can't you even remember your own posts anymore few minutes?

>>9034846

>>9034852

Oh you.

>>9034860
I didn't say that, once again I'm going to refer you to the post where I stated medical themes as the number one priority in menhera

>>9034865
That's not how / is used.

>>9034868
I bet you're the person who looks at a picture of a rose garden and says it has nothing to do with flowers

>not how / is used

Look, we're both just arguing for the sake of shitposting but could you at least make your posts more entertaining and give me more to go off of?

Janitors can keep deleting these posts but holy shit you're all retarded.
Summerfags need to get out and olderfags need to stop taking the bait.

>>9034845
Actually 70cm is 28 band size as 70cm=27 1/2 inches.
You do not need to add extra inches to the band as they're all elastic now :^)
The adding inches thing is a hold over from before elastic was invented.
Don't listen to Victoria's Secret.

SO anyway.
I've got a few customers for pill earrings at the medical clinic. Its pretty cool.

Okay so you seem confused.
I make menhera jewelry, including pill capsule earrings.

I'm a weekly visitor to the health clinic, and some of the nurses wanted to buy some of my jewelry.

Next you'll be saying CherryCheezy's stuff isnt menhera.

>>9034735
Probably because crosses are mass produced on everything from jewelry to house decorations while Jewish religious symbols are far less so. Seeing crosses so much being on just about everything makes you not really think twice about wearing it even if you aren't religious but given the decidedly jack of the Jewish symbols everywhere plus the history where Jews were branded with the star to mark them for persecution and death as opposed to the cross basically being the symbol for "Ey we're gonna come fuck your shit up unless you convert" it means it more uncomfortable to wear casually.

does anyone remember that one retard who was talking about how the hime cut is now the menhera cut? are there caps of that?

>>9036444
right, part of. not the entirety.

>>9032121
ayyy

>>9036445
Okay so if it's part of it, then that could qualify for gurokawa which is what I tagged it as.

>>9036447
No, you can't just call makeup alone gurokawa(let alone shitty elfgutz makeup) because it's a fashion, which includes more than just makeup. M

>>9034735
For me it's the opposite, I feel weird wearing crosses but fine wearing the star of David. Maybe because I'm Jewish.

Too shitty?

>>9036868
I'll give you honest critique:
The ribbon looks cheap and I'm not a fan of the seed beads filling the syringe. I feel resin or liquid would look better

>>9036444
Makeup is a PART of fashion but isn't the sole thing that defines it. Byojaku doesn't automatically equal menhera anymore than black lipstick automatically equals goth

>>9036871
Should I try replacing the bow with some other type of ribbon? The backing was a bit of a last resort to try and cover up the blue part of the syringe.
I'm not very familiar with using resin to fill/make things so I had to settle with beads for the moment. Thought I would have really loved to have filled it with something else!

>>9036868
shit/10

For DIY syringe inspiration, I suggest looking at https://twitter.com/yuk1nk0_bijou as she made them a lot for her indie brand before disappearing into the nowhere.

>>9036876
Sometimes I see people putting liquid in syringes. I don't think it's water, mineral oil maybe? Although I'm not sure how you can dye that. Go through the trims section at your local fabric store and see if you find ribbons that are more matte

>>9036876
another anon here, maybe if you're going the bead route, make the really nice quality, like nice glass seed bead, yours just looks like you made it from a childs section at the moment

and for filling instead of resin you can use oil snd an oil based dye to colour it (I think gel food dyes work)

>>9036868
This looks like a cheap pen for children.

>>9037384
Have you never seen the average japanese without makup? Don't forget crocked teeth are a beauty ideal there.

Is anyone here from Aus? How much does shipping usually cost? Also, are there any western-based menhera stores?

I'm currently working on some menhera themed art etc., and I'm looking to sell it on shirts and so forth.

I'm poor atm so I can't have them custom printed myself- would people here consider purchasing stuff off Redbubble for example? Or is there another similar site that you would prefer to use?

Until I have the funds to custom print and sell myself I have to use some kind of service (e.g Redbubble). However I want to get good reach with the right audience and also have prices people can afford.
tldr; would you gulls buy menhera clothing through sites like redbubble etc. or is there a similar alternative you would prefer?

>>9037755
>this mad at being told to lurk more


lurk more

>>9037763
You maybe should research what printing quality you like best, Spreadshirt and Zazzle are popular too but each got different issues when it comes to dark shirts.

>>9037763
Id be totally cool with buying of redbubble! Depending on how good the art is ofc
Id love to see an example of your art if you feel like posting

>>9037961
That's really good advice actually, thankyou! I'll investigate printing quality before i make a decision.

>>9038607
looks cute would most certainly buy it if it was up on redbubble or the like

>>9038607
You can still do what cheezy does and do preorders. Use the money you get from that to cover for the production costs (and of course then some for reasonable profit)

>>9038607
Aww thats really cute
Seconding what the other anon said about preorders. Its more work but you'll probably make a bigger profit
Also maybe less risk of art theft?

>>9038631
>>9038682

You guys have a good point about the preorders

However I want to establish that i'll have some form of customer base before I commit to custom printing etc.
I think for now I'm gonna settle on using Society6 as the print quality has good reviews, and i'll hopefully develop from there!

your proportions are really bad. did you ever learn them properly? her head should not be that large on her shoulders, neck shouldn't be that thin, arm shouldn't be that thick, etc.

don't even get me started on the pose. is her back broken?

Okay anon is being sort of a dick-I say because there's a lot of "iffy" menhhera animu art that no one says anything about including the beloved CherryCheezy's (who you cannot say is proportional)-but they are right about the tilt of her face not matching the tilt of her head. Another 2 things is that her left leg is nearly straight up and down, which makes the pose seem stiff (at first I thought her leg was part of a box) and her right arm doesn't match up with where her shoulder is. It is cute and most people won't notice those kinds of things but maybe find someone willing to redline mistakes for you if you want to improve.

I don't usually do this and I haven't drawn in quite a while so take this with a grain of salt.
It looks awkward because you've matched the arms and legs up. People don't usually sit with one hand on each leg like that, it comes across very unnatural and stiff (especially including the perfect right angle and her arm being glued to her thigh. It's strangely geometric). Obviously I don't know what's going on off the right side of the canvas for her legs to go up like that, but if you wanna keep it you'll probably want to lay her down, scooch her bum back, or lean her back on her hand or something; it'll be easier to see what's going on and she'll look less stiff. Otherwise, drop a leg down and give her some room to breathe.
There's also an odd tangent between her hair, back sock and bottom of her right hand, be careful of matching lines like that.
I think the way you cropped it really isn't helping the whole broken back thing. Something's definitely weird there though it's hard for me to tell what you've done (whether the back's long and the angle is too sharp/legs coming back too far, or if you've made it curve into a U). I know I draw things really fucking long, but hopefully you can get something out of it anyway

great job giving into some cunts who can't take criticism reporting me mods

>>9040419
It may have been valid criticism, but you delivered it like a salty bitch without any reason. Artist-anon asked nicely and you took a dump on them :/ there was no need to be so harsh when it's the first time they've asked for crit. If they'd been asking and ignoring, sure. But come on. Just because you're anon it doesn't mean it's time to shit on undeserving people.

>>9040439
I didn't take a dump on them, I told them what was wrong with their mediocre art without sugar coating it

I'm not here to give out asspats, especially to people who aren't up to the level of skill to sell their work for more than $5 a pop

I've actually worked as a full time artist before and I would have been fired if I showed up with something like that to be produced, I know menhera is a small market but you shouldn't be willing to buy trash just for the sake of it being menhera

>>9040452
Asking someone "what the fuck is wrong with her neck?" ain't telling them what's wrong without sugar coating it -- it's being a bitch. As someone who was once a full-time artist, you should know how to give proper fucking concrit and that WASN'T proper concrit. Mods know what they're doing.

>>9040459
go cry in a fucking corner, there's no reason for you to be this upset over someone giving VALID(which you admitted yourself) criticism. I never had the fucking nerve to put something that bad out there and say I intended to charge people for it. In fact I think it's insulting she would charge for that level of quality.


Am I saying there's no talent? no, not at all. But she needs to fucking practice her posing and proportions before charging people T-shirt prices for this mediocre attempt at art.

unless you are the artist who I gave crit to I legit don't understand why you are this pissed.

yall really fucking suck,shut the fuck up and contribute

>>9040468
What gave you the impression that I was super upset, anon? Unneccessarilly harsh critique is just a pet peeve of mine. There wasn't any reason to jump down her throat because you were "insulted" that she wanted to get paid for her work.

She wants to charge for mediocre work, let her. She'll learn what sells and what doesn't and improve like that. Jeez.

>>9040459
also, if I really wanted to shit on her I sure has shit would have done a better job at picking it apart more than just proportions and posing


my phrasing was abrasive, I will say that. but if you can't handle legitimate criticism that will improve your art you need to fuck off back to tumblr where you will get attention for just drawing sharted out fan art

>>9040474
It's not unnecessarily harsh you fucking pansy. if I was I would have pointed out a lot more that was wrong instead of sticking to two major issues with it


go back to tumblr

>>9040476
And I was the one getting upset? Calm your tits.

chill out and stop going off topic guys

I've gone back to redoing it in my usual style, i was worried it wasn't fitting for cutesy kind of art but it's coming along nice.

regardless this is the menhera thread, don't derail
that's why i've stopped replying as I don't want to pull it this far off topic, calm your shit

>>9040522
I wonder why this other anon is shitting her pants over my crit when you took it gracefully like a champ
