My guess is you guys were weirdly backlit in the photo, and rather than adjusting aperture/shutterspeed like they SHOULD have, the photographer tried to compensate for it by brightening everything in photoshop.

On a related note, how much shoop would you guys consider too much shoop? For cosplayers, do you prefer to receive raws from the photographer and take the wheel, or leave everything in their hands and hope for the best?

Personally I like the look of high saturation for Homestuck pics, as long as it's used well and care is taken to the composition of the rest of the photo. It won't make a subpar photo acceptable, but if used tastefully it can add impact to an already good photo.

[Anonymous No.6431059]

Her arms look fine though? IMO I think the skinnyness of the leg is an illusion because of the black outline of the skirt, the placement of the bodysuit seam, and how the staff covers the outer edge of her thigh. She's standing at the 3/4 angle which is good for minimizing .

There was a good one at PMX (memory is a little hazy because Saturday was like WHOA), but I don't recall seeing pics of him since he was Eridan for most of the gathering and speed changed into Cronus after.

That one Cronus in the previous thread (who apparently there is drama about?) had what looked to be a nice wig. As for using your real hair for Cronus, I have to disagree about it looking better, since if a cosplayer is clueless about styling wigs, they'll probably be just as bad at styling hair.

Damn that wig is fluffy. So far this is what I've got. Hard to tell how fluffed I can get the sides though, but I'm going to try. Then again I'm going more for a Humanstuck look, first time cosplaying Homestuck so I just don't think I'm ready for the full paint and horns but I still want to make it look as good as I can. Hence my difficulty translating Kurloz's outfit into something that wouldn't get you stared at like an asylum escapee on the street. It's probably all a terrible idea but my Meulin is being supportive and I promised her if I couldn't work out the human thing, I'd let her tie me to the hotel chair and paint me.

Out of all the trolls in the comic, the only ones who canonically and constantly use their blood color for their lipstick are Aradia, Vriska, Kanaya, Meenah, Aranea, Damara, Disciple, Mindfang, and the Condesce.

Aradias tend to go for a more 'mutant' red instead of her darker red and a good green for Kanaya/Disciple is hard as shit to find.

Probably right about the paint. I'm just terrible with remembering when I have make-up on and end up ruining it pretty quickly because of it. She's good with make-up but I can't sew and even though I really like Kurloz and his outfit, it's just not something that many people could pull off wearing and I'm definitely not one of the few.

What you have to look out for is that most odd colors are not lipsafe (the blues, oh God, the blues. Finding a blue lipstick that I didn't have to order online for Vriska was a pain in the ass.)

There is a growing list out there for lipsafe eyeshadows, but it obviously doesn't have everything ever.

>>6431156
Hm, I don't think I'd have as much of a problem with humanstucks if most people didn't take "no grey" to mean "no makeup beyond smudged undereye liner because sooo edgy." If you really tailor your makeup to look like it would suit a humanstuck Kurloz, be really mindfull of contouring and such, it COULD look nice. But TBH, humanstuck makeup requires more effort because you have to try harder to get it to stand out and not look... super generic.

If you go with the grey after all, I'd suggest trying out PAX around the neck up until your jawline, then your choice of theatrical makeup for the face, ears, and close to your hairline around your neck. Even if you have gloves on, it's really easy to get makeup ruboff on your costume around your neck, and especially telling of you're wearing black.

I've tried this, and it really doesn't work as well as outright mixing it does. It also feels grainy/chalky and generally gross on your lips. It's so much better to put the time and effort in to blend it beforehand.

>>6431162
Yeah, I definitely didn't want to do it in a way where it's just eyeliner and nothing else. It's just becoming more trouble than it's worth to try and design something that does stand out.

I'll probably just jump into the deep end of Homestuck cosplay and do the full troll version just in a different than canon outfit (like the fanart above). At least then I can be somewhat more comfortable with the whole idea because I'm really not going pull off a skeleton print body suit and purple undies.

[Anonymous No.6431178]

I was wondering if PAX was necessary for the neck area? My friend recommended ben nye because I'm cosplaying meulin so it's just my face + neck that needs painting (making arm/hand socks so I don't have to deal with it). Would using ben nye on my neck too be horrible?

[Anonymous No.6431187]

>>6431178
It's not necessary, but IMO it helps a lot. The neck isn't as bad an area as the arms/hands when it comes to ruboff, so any ruboff you get will be localized to your collar area.

Troll cosplay is helped a lot by high contrast (in your clothing, rather than resorting to adjusting contrast in photos), so doing things like getting the most intense black for your clothing and true black wigs (as opposed to off-black, and another reason why real hair usually doesn't look good for trolls as it's rarely the right intensity) really help a lot in making yourself look polished.

TLDR, you won't look bad if you Ben Nye your neck, but you stand a chance of looking much nicer if you use something that doesn't rub at all.

HSG, I am a young adult woman. What is the best way to contour for young characters like Karkat? I want to look like a teenage boy rather than a girl.

Here's my ~makeup test~ of what I'm doing so far, by the way. I've changed my eyeliner since then (I was using a cheap, rather sheer black crayon), so there should be a lot less pink around my eyes; I'm not going to try putting a red tint on my nose again; and I have fangs and contacts now.

In those pictures I was just doing the general contouring I use normally - brightening in the centre of the face, dark around the cheekbones and eye sockets, dark grey paint under the jaw - but since I imagine Karkat having quite round, soft features I don't know where to begin.

Yeah the wig looks kinda high actually, do you have long hair stuffed under it or horn structures? The latter photos look a lot better! Work your wig a bit more, the hair looks sloppily cut. You should blend the dark circles under your eyes more, you look kinda cartoony but overall you strike as a "real-life" Karkat so you should make it look natural.. as natural as you can with grey skin. Feel with your fingertip where your eyesocket actually is, and darken inside that area, not just under your eyes but also all around your eyes to make them seem sunken. Especially between your nose and eye.. Try adding just a little shades on your nose bridge, maybe it'll help too.

Will do.

Thanks for the advice on Karkat's dark circles as well. I thought extending them would make my eyes look rounder, but you're right in pointing out they just look cartoony and ill-fitting with the rest of the cosplay.

Hey you know I got super long hair, and well usually I just braid it and pin it flat, but lately I realized that only work with certain wigs.. with a loose, long-haired wig, a bump on the back of my neck is not noticeable. So when I had to wear a short, unforgiving wig, I actually went through pulling my hair to small sections, like maybe 10 in total, and pinnind them each down on a curl. Ten small curls is a lot of work, but it looked great. I've never thought about using two wig caps.

[Anonymous No.6431680]

my advice on the make up would be to leave the freckles out. They're not canon, it was a shitty edit and even though your are miles better than say, any Meulin or Feferi with freckles I've ever seen, it still looks like dirt sprayed on your face. Also, you need to combine the dark with some lighter gray and mother-of-pearl under your eyes. Now it kind of looks like smudged makeup, where as a tired person gets eyebags. pic related, look at her right eye.

everything else is pretty much perfect, you make a really cute Karkat

[Anonymous No.6431683]

oh, and if you want your eyes to look rounder and your face less girly, leave out the black on your inner lash lines. I'd use light yellow instead to fake the sclera colour and make your eyes look bigger. It also accentuates the dark circles

[Anonymous No.6431697]

Nice idea, but I tried that (with orange eyeliner) and it doesn't work in practice. It just looked close enough to my own flesh colour to look like I didn't line my eyes at all.

>And it won't look "WHITE!" because it naturally wears down anyway to be just "light".

Yeah, it'd wear down to light pink, aka human skin colour.

I understand what you're all saying, though. Do you think lining my eyes first with black and then going over it with white might create a lighter grey? Otherwise, I'm sticking with black.

Okay, I'll do that. I put the freckles in partly to decrease the flatness of the makeup but mostly because I wanted to see if I could do them more realistically than the shitty freckles Homestuck cosplayers usually have. Thanks for your advice about the eyebags, as well, it's really helpful.

Thank you everyone for being so constructive and helpful, by the way. I'll be wearing Karkat to a meetup in December (which will also be attended by one of /cgl/'s favourite lolcows, I can't wait to meet her) and since it's a really simple costume I want to get everything looking as good as possible. The fact that you're all being so helpful makes me want it even harder.

I've seen a few Cronus' post-update that go with a regular tee shirt cut.

There's nothing wrong with it, but at the same time it looks bland and plain. Leather jackets can look good if you make sure they're fitted right and not something you pulled out of your fat brother's closet.

Not to mention they're ideal for crossplayers because the way they fit can help hide the curve of your waist and hips.

the fibers themselves look cheap and it needs more body. even though jade's hair is straight it's still really wild, and in some panels there's quite a bit of flip to the ends. i think the ideal jade wig would be really thick and straight with some flippy layers added--canon-compliant and it wouldn't look straight out of the bag like most jade wigs.

>>6433010
Homestucks attend conventions for the purpose of finding social groups they may enter, and for the pupose of finding a mate. While some mating pairs (or occasionally, groups) may last for a year or more, it is more common for a Homestuck to cycle between mates seasonally; it is not uncommon for younger members of the herd to be connected to one another by one or more former mating partner.

To begin the mating ritual, first a Homestuck must adorn itself to attract a mate. This may include donning garments that clearly identify their species, though the more common approach, and the most affective by far, is that of mimicry. Disguising themselves as a being from the Homestuck’s sacred text is much more arduous, and often involves donning outlandish hairpieces and even painting themselves to appear more aesthetically pleasing to potential mates. However, this method is also a Homestuck’s best chance of attracting a mate of the same mimicry subspecies, colloquially known as the “cosplayer.”

[Anonymous No.6433115]

>>6433113
Once they have donned their mating outfit, the Homestuck must then navigate the vast convention landscape. The dominant species of the area most commonly belong to the Anime genus, which is occasionally incompatible, or even aggressive, with members of the Homestuck genus, so care must be taken to blend in, or travel in groups for the sake of self-assurance.

And then, it happens in a flash: the Homestuck spots a mating prospect, and after evaluating their potential, may choose to initiate the start of the courtship ritual. This is commonly started with one of the many mating calls shared by Homestucks, and may involve vocalizations of “BUCKETS!” or even outlandish honking noises. If interested, the potential mate may return the vocalization. If the courtship ritual is successful, they may appropriate a term from their holy text such as “matesprit” or “kismesis” to identify their connection with their mate to prospective rivals, though the usage of this term is often incorrect. Regardless, once the Homestuck has found its mate, it is uncertain how long the bond will last, although should the partnership end it will generally have an overdramatic impact of the social structures surrouding the pair. It may very well be the unscrupulous nature of the mating process that results in the collapse of the social structure of a localized population of Homestucks.

[Anonymous No.6433130]

>>6433098
Depends on if the wig is in stock, and if you are buying while Arda is away at a convention, or like most people you are purchasing during a sale.

If it's not during a sale or con trip, I usually find my orders take on average between one to three BUSINESS days to process (they do not process or ship orders on Saturdays or Sundays, nor do they respond to emails on those days unless it is an utmost urgent matter). After the order has been shipped, it usually takes between 2-3 or 3-5 business days for it to arrive in California from Illinois, depending on which shipping option is uses (I don't overnight my things from them)

Arda will usually update to their FB when they will be away at a convention, and include a notice about delayed shipping times during that period because, while they are growing, they are still a small company with a limited staff. If you ordered before the advertised "order your wig by now if you want it shipped before we leave!) date, you should get it shipped out before they leave unless an item in your order is out of stock or on backorder.

If you are ordering during their sales (__,000 likes, or their upcoming Cyber Monday sale), expect your order to take longer to process and ship, as it is during these times that they have the greatest sales volume. Many orders are placed and popular items are quick to sell out, so if you're ordering a black wig in a popular style, I suggest buying it before the sale, or stalking the site for when the coupon code first goes live! People who order within the first few hours of the sale occasionally get their wigs shipped the same day, but as a general rule of thumb I'd tack on at least one to two extra days to their usual processing time during sale periods.

Hope that helped!

my girlfriend and i ordered a wig from an Arda sale back last...March, I believe. For a con that was in the beginning of June.
An entire month and a half passes with still no wig and no emails from Arda. After a few emails we finally get a response saying that not only was the wig backordered, but it wouldn't be restocking until the beginning of May. That's only a few weeks so we're like, ok, sure, we'll wait.
The date they gave us passed and we still had no wig. After waiting a week just in case, we finally emailed them again only to get told they weren't even restocking the wig until LATE JUNE.
They ended up sending us a different wig since we needed it before then, but this whole thing still pisses me off. Arda needs to quit having sales or restock more often.

I'm mostly just pissed that it took several emails to find out what was going on with that wig and no effort was made to contact US to tell us it would be restocking so much later. You shouldn't keep your customers in the dark for nearly 4 months.

also, I'm not sure what >>6432937 meant about spirit halloween? I mean, I made everything. I know there's a few construction problems caused by sewing until five in the morning, but I think it turned out decent. my wig is shitty, that's why I got a new one, and if you just don't like the design, well, complain at Roach. I was questioning her as well when I had to put the loopy design on the bottom, I'm not sure how well it translated in real life...

i will try to explain without getting obnoxiously wordy. basically i have a friend that we'll call L. he's kind of dumb but he's a sweetheart. he had a crush on this cronus cosplayer, who we'll call g (unless someone asks me for his tumblr hah). I was friends with g and since l told me he had a crush on him, i was doing little wingwoman things like "are you into guys?" and stuff like that. G says hes pansexual. L is really excited, apparently sends some anonymous tumblr message about wanting to suck G's dick. G posts his skype in response, L adds him, they talk about fetish shit (I might have screencaps) and later they meet up at Ls house and get down, immediately after g says something like "o actually i do have a girlfriend" theyre fuckbuddies for like a month when shit goes down. im friends with gs best friend, r. we're talking about him and i made a joke about him kissing l and she gets super confused. i ask her if she knew they were doing stuff and she gets really upset asking me if im sure its the same g, and that he would never do something like that. she messages G and G messages L asking if he told her. L says he didnt but is confused as to why he shouldnt. G goes off about how r isnt supposed to know stuff like that and how he was about to make a move on r's friend, and that this would ruin that, and how G liked Rs friend more than L, then asking L to lie to R and say they never kissed and saying theyd have to stop doing sexual things. ended with L getting mad and G blocking him from skype. G got with Rs friend and R is still friends with G.

[Anonymous No.6435025]

>>6435001
For Troll cosplay, or...? I'd just recommend getting some black and white acryllic paints and mixing your own with your choice of Pros-Aide. There haven't been comparitive tests conducted yet, but Pros-Aide II is supposedly easier to remove (I can take it off of shaved areas or palms with hot water and friction), and No-Tac is supposedly easier to apply to areas like joints.

One of the benefits of mixing your own PAX is that you can control how much paint and Pros-Aide goes into the mixture, and you can customize the color to match any other makeup you're using.

Anon means they are a cheap ass who doesn't realize how real life seamstress work costs. If you don't like her quality don't commission her. Sometimes I feel she's slightly more pricey but honestly she's on the dot with her estimates most times. If you do commissions properly it's fabric costs plus money by the hour. What she charges per hour is the correct amount, it's up to you to deem if shes worth it. If not then don't commission her, but as someone who gets paid to do freelance for theater she is charging the correct method.

If Mostflogged wants to charge $10 or $15 or $30 an hour for her labor, that's her prerogative and there are plenty of people out there willing to pay, and plenty of people who aren't. If you aren't, then don't commission her? It's really that simple and I don't understand the rage over her prices when it has virtually no effect on you. Unless she made you a commission and never delivered it or something like that, why care?

alright ladies, let's talk about tumblr user davespriite, aka heaven, previously known as prospit-dreamer. Specifically, how she handles her "'commissions'". I got a friend who commissioned her around september, paid in full and everything, and asked for a few small things before november 1st. in a true display of "professionalism", heaven didn't get the piece done, claiming a dire need for shipping money. it's now three weeks later, and she hasn't gotten back to my friend about the shipping cost, leaving my friend down 100 bucks and still waiting. heaven's a good cosplayer but she's unprofessional and spends all her time dicking around instead of getting shit done that people paid her for.

[Anonymous No.6435686]

Speaking as a professional seamstress, the whole thing could have been executed better but she had the right idea. The front needed more structure than what she gave it in order to let the Virgo symbol hang correctly on her. The side...i'm not entirely sure what's going on there but it looks unhemmed? There's a weird fabric bulge on the edge that again, i'm not sure what's happening. Overall, the back is draped well. The picture on >>6435568 looks like it's a nice, even drape, and yes, she was going for >>6435631 look. Not sure about her choice for the slit, especially the sheer fabric underneath with that heavy trim. Personally i'm not digging the trim and wish she had gone for something more subtle or nothing at all.

Overall it looks like a rookie job, right idea, not too great execution. Fabric choice I feel had a LOT to do with that. Not too familiar with her work overall but if I was basing my opinion on this dress alone, I would say she's only been sewing for a very little while. Enough to make outfits, not enough to get the difficult techniques in this dress right.

That was more than I was planning on typing whoops.

There's actually a really hilarious story behind this shot.

The four dead trolls were all standing on a ledge behind that wall, and they had what they thought was a lowered garden area with bushes behind them. After taking the photos and climbing back over the wall, one of them was taking a closer look at the area and discovered

Those were not bushes. They were TREES. And that the ledge they were standing on was actually 10-15 feet off the ground below.

Life almost imitating art!
