Old one's gone, let's try to keep this one from being too bait filled.

Some questions to start off the thread:
- What are you working on right now?
- What's the next convention you'll be attending?
- Anyone planning on entering a competition this year?

I know it's a bit of a gripe, but why are the majority of popular female cosplayers turning into Pornstars. Obviously money, but why is it so prevalent in the community?

>> No.9821225

>>9821153
Not OP but my guess is to get the added fanbase. Sex sells and with platforms like patreon, they can try to make any amount of money from it. I suppose if they feel comfortable with themselves showing some skin and maybe some t&a then nothing really matters to them. Of course it stems from those who have done it and have profit from it so in their minds it seems like a way to make cash

>> No.9821524

Bragging will get them nowhere until their "shit" gets better.

I mean, there's several people here in WA who feel the need to say they've got X many years experience in sewing, yet there's still safety pins keeping their costumes together, their wigs still look awful and the skits never get better with age.

Bragging gets you nowhere.

Can't say but this person doesn't turn up to cons as much because he doesn't like cosplayers and yet will shoot them if nets attention from others.

Volk is deece, he just needs to branch out more imo. He seems focussed into a REALLY narrow niche.
He shoots the sexy girls, but not lewds/bath-tubs/beds.
He avoids shopping in effects, keeps things clear.

Really from his work and the interactions i've had he seems like he's obsessed with a vision of cosplay pics as a modern version of classical art. And that he sees himself as the cosplay successor to DaVinci or Michelangelo. Like his Rey shoot he researched for months traveling to find the best location.

In theory that's admirable. In practice it comes out as scarily intense, elitist and alienating.

Cosplay now is for fun or for business. Fun cosplayers he won't shoot unless they fit his aesthetic, and business cosplayers don't need him because getting the perfect Rey background doesn't sell on Patreon.

Really he either needs to diversify and shoot other types of people or worsify and shoot patreon sets. Because pursuing a specific style of art doesn't work in Aus.

From what I've heard he had a really creepy background of asking girls to shoot and then getting anal about them inviting friends or anyone else along. It gave off this predatory vibe though I'm not sure whether that was his intent? Either way lately I reckon he has been shooting with less 'sexy' cosplays lately and more generic/mainstream stuff to compensate for his bad rep (though they are still all girls so its a little counter productive)

Do you prefer to use canon-accurate colours, regardless of how bright they are, or would you opt to use something more toned down if you thought it looked better? I opted for a brighter, more accurate blue fabric and now I’m worried it’s going to be a huge eyesore haha.

Replying to myself.
I do understand the criticism that he has a very specific niche. I've told him that myself. I've also told him to doesn't make sense to be as specialised as he is, because he does shoot the sexy girls, but he doesn't do the sexy shoots with them. He's not only locked himself into a particular path, he's refusing to walk any further down it.
If you read the 'Chris is deece' post above that was me as well, saying he either needs to diversify or worsify.
Last con I was talking to Chris as he was in the walkway outside the hall. Usual stuff 'How has your day been? Shoot everyone you wanted?'
He says yeah he shot everyone he wanted to, was free, and was looking up and down the hallway going "Who can I shoot..."
Meanwhile i'm standing there in cosplay thinking "I'm right here dude..."
Was I a little salty? Yeah a little, but I hate how I look in the pics I do get enough to understand his position.
I can understand people like him, used to be one, but I changed and i'm hoping he can too so he'll brighten up instead of mourning all his models only want patreon stuff.

For me, I don't see that when people wear heels or platforms that it ruins the accuracy of the cosplay. I've shot cosplayers in them and it makes a difference in the overall shots, especially when the shots include a group. Height makes a difference, better than having some cosplayers bending to be shorter when standing next to a cosplayer being a taller character.
Then again, why are people actually focusing on the footwear of cosplayers? Who gives a shit really. Guys paint on beards, girls wearing fake boobs to match a character, guys in muscle suits or put on makeup for abs abs. Everything is adding something in the end.
Though I admit it is ridiculous when someone wears an extremely disproportionate platforms or heels that end up not matching the rest of the outfit due to the person's actual height or quality of the outfit. It's fine as long as what's being worn can match or go along well with the character I guess.

Shoot in RAW, gives you more options when editing in post production.
Understand the difference in aperture, don't just keep your camera on auto, especially when taking cosplay photography at a con, no one needs the boring background or other con goers in focus.
Don't be afraid to ask cosplayers to pose differently or move around to get better lighting, it will pay off for both them and you if you get a better shot.

>> No.9836583

>>9836552
Shooting in RAW is perfect. The best point is also to not shoot in auto mode. Learning on manual makes you get familiar with everything in the camera. Over time, you won't need to keep taking time to calculate what you need or things like that, you tend to pick up on what settings to put yourself once you get the hang of shooting in manual. The difference in quality is noticeable.

There are unique ways on setting up your focus while on manual mode by locking it in. Depends on your camera. Auto isn't what determines your focus anyways.
Practice out of cons, on the streets etc. Plenty of time in between cons to carry the camera around and do people photography or just street work.
Main things you need to keep in mind would be your shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. Once you got them down, and know how they'll affect your lighting in the end result, then it's easier to take control of your shoots to develop your style. Auto is just what the camera brand thinks is going to be good based on what the lens sees. Not always perfect that way.

oh yeah I found the con security to be stricter than any other brisbane based event. I had a blunt staff that was under a metre with no sharp edges or anything remotely 'dangerous' and the door guy said that it could be used as a weapon and had to go into weapons check if i wanted to go into the hall. It was more or less just a thin plastic pole and I have gotten into supanova and smash with much more extravagant props. Its probably just because they were a first time con in bris and didn't want any mishaps but come on. Is it really necessary to force a zip tie on it? I could have swung that thing around in the nearly empty ass con floor and hit no one since hardly anyone showed up anyway.

>the people who put effort in like myself get dismissed automatically because "ugh, ANOTHER love live cosplayer"
Except that isn't true. Most Love Live cosplayers who make their costumes to a high standard and enter competitions are recognized for their efforts where it's deemed worthy. An LL cosplayer literally came third in MNCC last year.
So, maybe your problem lies elsewhere? Judging by your attitude, you seem to think making an LL cosplay = you being entitled to winning a competition because it makes you better. Perhaps take a step back and evaluate your skills, rather than blaming others.

>> No.9848249

>>9847513
Have you thought that maybe it might just be your costume? If everyone dismissed you as “just another LL cosplayer” then your costume can’t have been much better than the pre bought ones. I will admit I’m not a fan of LL cosplayers, but I can appreciate good craftsmanship no matter what the costume is from. So maybe your costume looks just as bad as the pre bought ones and that’s why people are dismissing you lmao

-Upside down plastic buckets with wooden support rods for stilt bases
-Slip on sandals for shoes inside instead of lace up shoes
-Hand drill to make the back wheel spin

A lot of his stuff seems mashed together and lauded in the spirit of ‘Macgyver’, but to me that just sounds sloppy. I feel that he spent more time blingeing it up rather than make the costume structurally sound or actually able to move in.

He did a side-by-side comparison or his costume and the reference picture, and you can see how out of proportion everything is. Not saying that he didn’t do a lot of hard work, because he did, especially with all that leather work, but I think that this guy has his priorities wrong when it comes to costumes, choosing to go for bling rather than accuracy.

Personally I don’t much care for a lot of his costumes because they’re sloppily put together. I saw his Venosaur over East and it looked like baby’s first cosplay with how quickly he put it together.

The interim order is given if the magistrates -believes- they might need it, ie they don't have reason to believe the person is lying or other (innocent until proven guilty of lying etc). Which is hard to tell, and there's no reason to disbelieve (or believe them).

It specifically says until they can assess evidence. The interim order is not given on an assessment of all available evidence. It usually is better safe than sorry to grant it, as it is temporary.

They are also not a court handing out a guilty verdict.

He could well be guilty of even more than the accusations on facebook, but we don't know that and we don't have real evidence (otherwise he'd be facing criminal charges not potentially facing criminal charges -if- he broke the order).

The undertaking also means that he doesn't face criminal charges unless he commits an actual criminal offence from what I am reading atm.

You do, but as I mentioned above they do not require evidence. I can see if I can dig out the wording of my complaint, it reads like a rant(lawyers words).

Generally interim requests are granted as a just in case, i.e. whats the harm.

The problem is, individuals like yourself tout these as some sort of burden of proof, they really aren't. Once you see the process in action you find out its at the hearing stage anything is required for proof. A magistrate just has to think there is any chance of anything happening to grant the interim order. If you can then prove the individual requesting is doing it in a malicious, vexatious or 2 other terms I cannot remember right now, they can actually have the DVO reversed onto them complaining party.

Oh no, I just never get to talk about it and for once I can actually add my experience.

Wait, he did an undertaking right? From what I remember you have 4 options when you're served. Oppose it, Agree with it(becomes a formal order), Agree with it without admitting fault, ask for an undertaking.

I really need to find this now as its bothering me

You're right in that I sympathise but only because so far, the 2 options shown are not indicative of guilt. It cost me about 5k to oppose mine and it didnt even make it to the hearing stage, we turned up twice and she didn't. That was 5k by itself.

If this James dude was to fight it(Keep in mind I know FA about him, could be a total douchebag and you're right) it could cost 20k(What I was quoted for a drawn out hearing) or he would have to oppose without a lawyer. Whats not fair is that the plaintiff in these scenarios is awarded the duty lawyer. If he was advised he could do this undertaking and not pay shit loads of money, its probably the safe bet. I know I was advised it by my lawyer asking whats the harm and I had to explain that the sort of behavior you're seeing here is what my ex would do.

So far what you've mentioned is what sounds like some 16-25 year old did was have a hard crush, annoyed the shit out of someone to the point where they wouldnt back off without something strong and the girl managed to intimidate him into something that really means nothing.

If this girl had an actual formal order, I'd be completely with you. it just seems like the girl is using her social media as a platform to keep fucking with him. She got what she wanted, now shes trying to deplatform him as well. It's kind of having you cake and eating it to.

I'm sorry if this happened to you. It would suck. However that's not what is happening here, if you read her status correctly you can see she isn't asking for people to attack or isolate him. She's pleading for safety.

When I see people threatening what is probably a harmless fuckwit, it does bring back a bit of old wounds. Again, for all I know, he's a complete cunt. But if shes that concerned about her safety, you make a police report(as in a premptive) and you make preparations of having a friend(or 3) with you at all times. Posting to that many people on her FB I belive in my opinion only, that shes dragging him down deliberately instead of just doing the preemptive cautious procedures.

James Phelan isn't fucking Bill Cosby.

If there was actual evidence of criminal wrong doing against a young girl by a guy like him, he'd be getting dragged over hot coals in criminal proceedings.

As it stands to reason, all we have is;

A photo of an interim intervention order. Which is granted without needing to prove shit (evidence is not examined until a final order is given or dismissed - in order to give something out just in case quickly, while giving time to examine evidence for a full order).

By her own admission she didn't have any substantial evidence (something like "I don't have enough on paper against him" etc).


Basically we are left with just accusations, without evidence, you just have to take her word for that he's guilty etc.

Well I still side with innocent until proven guilty. I don't grab my pitch fork and treat the accused as guilty the moment a female from the cosplay community accuses someone with emotive language like "I was shaking in fear for months" (not unique to Sil's post) - what is this, like a weekly occurrence now in the community?

I'm not going to join in, condone, or stand for a witch hunt and public ostracism based on an accusation, based on a "maybe, maybe not" scenario.

Mate, just because someone asks for a burden of proof doesnt mean they're an MRA. If you follow Listen and believe, people are going to con you. Trust but verify is where its at.

Ad hom attacks kind of just make you look stupid to everyone but teenagers. Be better than that

That's what anon is basically arguing. The details (and evidence) are not known. Therefore you can't assume guilt - innocent until proven guilty since we don't have the details of evidence to prove guilt.

That's the problem the nature of this board lends it self to short term drama. While I dislike reddit, it at least allows for threads about technical procedures or costume design.

It's also because the community is such a big part of cosplay. Going to a con by yourself: boring as fuck. Going with friends makes it a great weekend.

That's her private profile. She has a cosplay page and there's nothing new on that.
