/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I expect a ton in Chicago since black people really latch onto any dark skinned character in popular media, but I doubt it'll be that huge

>>9568146
I've very ready

Did this really need its own thread? At least make this a Splatoon cosplay thread.

>>9568146
I myself am black and I can't wait to be a part of that flood
I'm gonna be adorkable

Someone shared a rush job Marina on reddit the day after they got announced, so definitely. I'm planning on making Marie's kimono outfit later in the year.

inb4 a white girl does it and errbody mad

Can we please make this into a Splatoon cosplay thread?
What are some ways to make the wig that isn't the felt or the wig+tentacles that people have done?
Where it actually is like pic related

>>9568278
that looks like stretch vinyl pulled over shaped foam

>Thot Marinas and Yolandi-inspired Pearl cosplays everywhere

Please no

Hi! I'll be one of many Marinas. Can't decide how to do the headpiece/wig yet since I haven't seen a method that I really like.

I'm salt because i adore Marina's design it's my aesthetic but i'm so white it'd be racist af

>>9568311
???
As long as you don't paint your skin it wouldn't be racist. If you're that uncomfortable, cosplay as pearl?

>>9568316
How else are you supposed to be recognizable as the character if you skin is multiple shades different?

>>9568328
The squid hair might be a subtle giveaway.

>>9568328
If your cosplay is good people will recognize you. Skin tone doesn't make the cosplay. It's not as if you'd be cosplaying a character that's not well known.

>>9568328
I feel like this is sarcasm, but if you feel that strongly don't cosplay Marina

>>9568286
Honestly Pearls could look pretty good if cosplayers draw from Yolandi
It depends how folks will interpret her hair

I'm so glad they were announced after AX because there would've been so many rushed closet cosplay ones flooding the con

Will anyone get Pearl's forehead accurate though?

>>9568330
>squid hair

>>9568364
No I'm just sick of black people doing whiteface and cosplaying white and asian characters, but being told black characters are off limits

>>9568261
No you're not, because Marina is hideous

>>9568513
Nobody cares about your opinion.

>>9568406
Sure

>>9568278
I know atelier heidi is doing something unique right now! She posted about it on her fb recently I think she might release more info on what she's doing.

>>9568844
she has "wig" pics and progress up so far and some really good shots of her (super cool) shoes! honestly the shoes are so nice, i'm considering making my own now for casual wear. what she's posted so far looks promising.

>cute women in green leggings

Could be worse.

>>9568328
/cgl/ sitting here acting like people don't react like:

>Black cosplayer does white character
>"you're doing amazing sweetie!!!"
>white cosplayer does character of color
>white cosplayer gets torn a new asshole

same standard for fat people doing skinny characters versus skinny people cosplaying fat characters. People should absolutely do whatever they want, but the backlash exists

>>9568866
What is this even made of?

>>9568157
It's almost like there aren't many black characters out there so they take whatever they can get.

>>9569013
Looks like the base doesn't matter they just covered it in several layers of gloss paint.

>>9569013
she says on her posts that it's silicone foam covered in silicone

>>9568844
>>9568866
Isn't that for a life-size amiibo sculpture Nintendo asked her to do?

Turning this into a splatoon cosplay thread.

Does anyone have an idea on how to do the eyemask without looking washed out at fuck? I want to cosplay Pearl but literally every splatoon cosplay I've seen has looked bad because of the black eyes.

I've barely seen any Splatoon cosplays at all over the past couple of years despite how lazy/closet most of the outfit would be (spats, athletic shirt, trainers). I doubt that will change.

>>9569205
good primer+NYX jumbo eye pencil+ maybe some powder on top to set it in?
Or I guess Gel Liner but I feel like.. that would get expensive real fast.

>>9568918
Considering one of the first posts in the thread is someone bitching about white marinas already this is the truth.

>>9569166
No it's a cosplay. Nintendo hired a boy and girl squid for photos at sdcc. Check Nintendo's SM they're posting photos.

I feel like the only person who didn't cream themselves over these designs. They're ugly, why does everyone have a boner for them?

>>9569379
A lot of people like marina for one of three reasons
>cute, cute shy personality
> they like the design
> she's "black"

No one cares about pearlyface, and her design is probably a bit harder too.

That said this thread has reinvigorated my interest in a splatoon cosplay, but I've never worked with big props before so I'm curious what kind of way to make the hair look good. I'm excited about the custom hair options in spla2n as well.

Had anyone here found any success? I've found tutorials but nothing that seems relatively great. I'm looking for something that isn't insanely hard, perhaps intermediate to advanced skill.

I also don't have an airbrush rip the kidnsquid dreams

>>9568146
>next
LOL

>>9568261
Thank you for your contribution

>>9568672
Pearl's disgusting too. Callie's my girl.

Anybody fancy dumping switch FCs? Maybe have a bit of a /cgl/ Splatoon lobby going on?

>>9569379
You're not alone, I'm not too fond of either of them. Marina is Booby McCumface, having that perfect shy waifu personality everybody has a boner for and Pearl is your bratty tomboy loli that everybody hates. Maybe I'm just salty that the Squid Sirens are no more.

>>9569618
that'd be lovely

>>9568146
Marina(and everyone who likes her) is a big slut

>>9569272
Where? A sarcastic post and a baiting post who came for asspats? No one else said anything. Get your head out of your ass and drop the victim complex. If you're that sensitive, just don't cosplay her. If you don't want to be a faggot, do cosplay her, have a good time, and stop bitching about black cosplayers having a character they can cosplay without being "black ____".

>>9570778
are you implying that someone calling you black ___ is worse than being labeled a racist for trying to be accurate to a character you like?

>>9570804
Don't change the goal posts, you know good and well that's not what I'm saying. But being obtuse makes you feel like your opinion holds weight.

If you're a faggot who thinks the world is against you and what every little tumblrtard says about you hurts your fee-fees, then don't cosplay her. If you're not, then just have fun and don't worry about it. But if you're that concerned about your mythical victim scenario, just don't cosplay.

>>9570816
you're trying to say that being labeled a racist, possibly losing friends and a job because people think you're racist for cosplaying a character is nothing and I should shut up because this is the first time you get to cosplay something without mean whitey putting black in front of what you say you are?

seems like you have a pretty big victim complex my friend. being called black ___ can't ruin your life, but being labeled a racist and doxxed because some black kids get overly offended can

>>9569376
Oh right, I guess I was close then.

>>9570855
Are you okay, anon? I don't know why you have this wild persecution fantasy in your head, but calm down. You legitimately sound insane. You're also making a lot of assumptions. Get off the internet and chill out for a while.

Small Photo, here are the official cosplays for Nintendo America

Takes one to know one

>>9568146
Blacks don't cosplay much so no not really.

>>9568513
back to /pol/ faggot

>>9569613
HA

>>9570855
You won't be called racist if you dont change your skin color. Its that simple. If you can't cosplay and be recognized without changing your skin (which you'll do poorly) then you need to stop cosplaying and work on your costume making skills.

Does anyone have more references of Marie's kimono? I can't find a clear image of the crest on her back.

>>9568406
Example?

>>9570855
Yes. You're going to lose your job for wearing a costume. Just don't paint your skin and no one is gonna call you racist. Even if they did, no one would take them seriously. I swear, SJW's and Antis have the same victim complex.

>>9568918
They don't.

>>9571047
This is probably going to sound like shit but they ruin the well made cosplays by being ugly and old looking. The squidgirls long skinny oblong head and bad makeup just ruins it eveb though the hwad piece is the best I've seen.
