/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

[Anonymous No.6441470]

Okay guys, im officially mad, 110% mad. Im pretty good with cosplay competitions in general and who wins and that jazz, I don't win and im all for who wins etc, what matters is if you have fun. But today my jimmies were rustled so hard for the first time about cosplaying and competitions, this was so biased. Today at a cosplay convention, a pretty serious one of the sort there was a lot of bought cosplays, yeah thats expected. But there was some really awesome ones like a Big Daddy from bioshock who had made a steel diving helmet, put all the LED's in the tubes etc and generally looked amazing.

Anywyay, in a nut. Get to Cosplay competition at end of the day, male winner is a Tony Stark cosplay that had about as much effort put into it as one would when you go into public,

And best cosplay all round was a Harley Quinn cosplayer who couldn't grease makeup and was wearing a $20 Harley Quinn halloween costume that you find in stores. No mention of the awesome Bioshock girl, or the awesome Scout trooper, or generally the better cosplays which would have involved a few months of work. However these two cosplays would of taken about an hours work to get done, walk into store buy costume, get out, grease paint on (badly), win competition. Jimmies rustled

Tldr; Ebay costumes win cosplay contests

Also Loki cosplayers (mainly female) are annoying the shit out of me as of late; You are loki of asgard and your about to be burdened with the back of my hand if you tell me to Kneel for your shitty photos. Just getting all my rage out.

Post your cosplay rage stories here if you have any.

Friends of the judges, OP.
This is why I don't bother with competitions.
Eventually, I'm hoping, people will realize this and stop entering. Cons will lose the drive to hold competitions because only 5 people will be in it, and it'll stop completely.
That'll take years to happen, if it does, though.

Op here, im considering just walking out / leaving before every cosplay competition from now on because it just shits me off so much, I just couldn't believe it. Then again next year at one of the conventions we are having ill be judging so i shall be able to deliver divine punishment to all people who cant grease paint or who havent put at least a minimal amount of effort into making it not a ebay costume.

hey OP, (this is offtopic but) possible future Lady Loki cosplayer here. I know Lady Loki is canon, but still - any tips for me as to how not to act? I haven't seen avengers or anything or read any of the comics, only seen Thor. I'd like to hope that I'm not one of the annoying ass people in the fandom (I'm not really 'in the fandom' either) but I just want to avoid acting like the people I hate once I'm in character.

[Anonymous No.6441620]

>>6441612
I cosplayed lady loki as well, but I'm a fan of the comics and don't particularly care for the movie version. If you don't want people to treat you like a bandwagon movie cosplayer... read the comics and don't jump around quoting the movie and kissing up all over Thor's. It's out of character and ridiculous and offensive on so many levels.

Sometimes people win because of their personalities. If you had a great costume but had bad posture and attitude you are obviously not going to do well.

[Anonymous No.6441679]

>>6441648
Neither of them had a particularly good personality. I think that argument goes out the window when there were plenty of other good cosplays out there that werent bought from the store literally 300m away who had good personalities. It just was really quiet stuffed up and a obvious friend circle vote..

[Anonymous No.6441764]

I encountered a Lady Loki at Otakon this year. The first time I saw her, she introduced herself loud and clearly, which is whatever. I actually appreciate people in character. Some idiots actually did kneel before her, but if they think they're that lowly then that's there thing. Her cosplay was done very, Very well though. Upon seeing her later I asked if I could get a picture of her. She acted all self entitled, snobbishly saying that she wasn't doing pictures right then (mind you she was just standing around) and to come back later. I just walked away.
Lady, you're NO ONE. You. Are. No. One.
Bitch acted like I was going to traverse the entire convention center just praying for a chance to see her again so I could snap a photo.
I understand being in character when not directly interacting with people. That's chill. Being an asshole to people who are essentially giving you the biggest compliment by asking for a picture is not in fact, chill.

Oh my god. I get acting in character but I don't understand how such a large amount of people actually ~think~ they're the character and use "IM JUST ACTING" to excuse their shitty behavior.

I've just about had it with Loki cosplayers and my friends falling over the PERFECTION that is ~*Tom Hiddleston*~

My most recent encounter with these horrible fangirls was when one commented to some Sif cosplayer on how embarrassed she must be that Thor preferred fucking his brother over her.

[Anonymous No.6441812]

>>6441523 This is why I don't bother with competitions

Agreed. I also don't bother either for the same reasons.

When you enter a contest you now have to worry about:

friends of the judges
ebay costumes
liars whose mom or grandma made it
judges that can't tell a handmade prop/costume from a store bought one
Judges who vote for a costume cause it comes from something they worked on
People who buy a costume and change one simple thing on it and then claim they made 80% of it


It's all just too much to expect it to be fair.
On the plus side no one cares who won what in a week. Most of the pictures will be of the actual GOOD costumes anyways. No one will care about Harley Quinn #75764

I once lost to a girl just because she was friends with the judges...

I mean, I wasn't expecting to walk out a winner, but I wasn't expecting the girl with a 'Princess Edward' dress made out of cheap satin, and a shit wig to walk out a winner either.

[Anonymous No.6442324]

I'm not terribly familiar with the Avengers and Batman and such, and depending on the convention, perhaps this comment serves moot, but don't most [anime] conventions have some sort of rule designating that you must enter with some Japanese-related costume somehow? Either that it's from a Japanese show or game or culture-based, etc. Or are those only the conventions I go to?

I've had some pretty shitty cosplay competition experiences. I was once in a competition that required craftsmanship judging but rather than give out awards based on craftsmanship, the awards were delegated by audience voting, so it was a popularity contest. The girl who won was someone who cosplayed Sora or whomever and had some simple light-up prop. There were several more qualified costumes.

I had avoided entering costume contests for so long because I felt my skills weren't up to par... but after being in a few, I realize that it often doesn't matter too much if you make amazing costumes or not.

I also bought AX cosplay contest tickets this year and was highly, highly disappointed in the quality of costumes.

Funny story, I remember getting weirded out at first when I found out the winner of AOD 2011's masquerade was an Edward Elric cosplay (not the one with the metal arm, that one with Winry won second if I recall correctly). Then it turned out, when the judges were stating their reasons, it was because they made everything almost flawlessly, including the trunk they carried and their own goddamn shoes. If you make your own trunk and shoes out of all things, I'm pretty sure you deserve something. Simplicity can go a long way, IF done correctly.

Half-assed Avengers cosplayers and "sexy" DC villains, please don't enter unless you put some ridiculous effort into your costume or become a Don Robert, who kept making Iron Man suits and went to the point of even adding the damaged detail in the second movie. Pic related.

Past judge here for a local event. I quit because it was not worth the drama/too old to care anymore. Although its is not always the case there are sometimes when ppl win and the audience disagrees but as a judge I had a good reason. There was a couple times when I was harassed after for my decisions. One time a girl came stomping up to me wondering why she lost when she had bought all of her items from Value Village and the winner had sewn their item from scratch. Another time one group was upset they didnt win anything but it boiled down to the fact that they didnt show up for judging. From my experiences working for contests sometimes people lose because they dont follow simple directions like showing up for one. Another time these girls entered in these really flashy costumes but their seams were horrible unfinished, they had safety pins everywhere and the trims and zippers didnt match. All things you cant see from the audience.

So what I guess I am trying to say is though its not always the case there could be other reasons why people lose competitions and others win.

[Anonymous No.6443541]

There's a guy in my community that has relied on commissions ever since he started cosplaying. A friend of mine was commissioned to make his first costume. When she gave it to him, he gave her $10 (not even close to what it cost for supplies and labor) and started entering it into contests (contests that my friend had also entered into), claiming he'd made it himself.

Years later, he's still doing it. This time, he commissioned a very detailed Link costume. My friend has improved a lot and now judges in the community, rather than competing. He has entered various contests with that Link costume, claiming he made it. My friend has him on FB and has seen him post about how he commissioned it, etc., so each time, she has ignored his lies and given the awards to others. And, of course, now he's freaking out about how everyone in the community is 'biased' and how 'bullshit' it is that he hasn't won.

He's irritating, sure, but mostly, he confuses me. I don't understand how people think they can get away with lying like that and still expect to win awards for craftsmanship.

OP here, remembered something else that really rustled my jimmies last night. A Mako cosplayer. Now he was by far the biggest tool i have met this entire year. by the end of the day he was walking round in his tank top showing off his "muscles" and getting girls in general to hang off his every word because he was singing and mildly good looking, he hit on every girl. I spoke to him for a little as he asked about my cosplay but he just had the biggest ego of any person i have ever met in my entire life. I couldn't even believe people could fit in the room with him with a ego that large, it was astounding. He was a massive prick to my little brother as well. Im considering not going to the ball next year.. it was a massive let down and this year just sucked so much ass.

[Anonymous No.6443731]

Admittedly, I've won against better looking cosplayers...

People still hate me over that contest because I'm good friends with one of the judges. So they think its that over the fact that I was the only one who followed the rules. Most people entered had ether bought or modified their cosplays which is allowed at this contest, but you can only win one particular award in the contest. Only me and best in show had passed the 80% made yourself marker thus we won the other awards.

Honestly though, my cosplay was horrible and it it been a different situation I'd totally agree that I shouldn't won.

If they had amazing make-up or hand-sewed every little thing flawlessly, it'd be okay. But it's not at all.

This deserves a headdesk.

Just when you think it couldn't get any worse the Tony Stark cosplayer posts this

"The Canberra Cosplay Masquerade was absolutely awesome!! I, of course, went as Tony Stark, and had my ego stroked the entire time by fangirls (who all cheered for just me when it was my turn to show off whenever I did - ohhh yeah~) and the guys as well~ Some saying that I practically was the real Tony Stark - win~!"

I think i hate everyone and everything. He looked nothing like tony stark, anyone who said to him he looked like the real tony stark must have downs or this guy is delusional.. My brain is full of fuck.

Found their tumblr, their name is "xanderstock". same username for twitter, too. Damn this person...wow.

I guess with Tony Stark cosplay I only have respect for people that put massive amounts of effort as Iron Man or had a good make-up job. There were photos of one that looked just like him, but I lost the photos.

More Don Robert so I don't rage.

I compete a lot because that's the only way around here to make skits and I love them. And I've lost performance prizes to people without performances, I've been in biased contests in which the winner was the organizer of the event. Damn, there are even competitions in which the judges are there to "listen to the publics reaction". So ofc that the person that has the skimpiest cosplay or a reference to Chuck Norris will win.

But I learned to not care. I mean, when the prizes are being given I'm always kind of expecting them to say my name, I can't avoid it. But I don't get upset if I don't win. People should compete more for the fun and the show than for the prize and status. That way it's healthier.

You can't do it just for the love of it forever. Love without result dies out quickly.

Flash Back Time to my first and only cosplay competition:

>I sign up for pre-judging, get one of the latest slots possible.
>Come back at appointed time. Judges have been running a bit behind schedule and have run out of time to prejudge me. I'll have to undergo prejudging right before the walk-on starts. Okay.
>Cosplayers starts lining up.
>Audience starts piling in.
>Obviously off by myself waiting to be prejudged. I'm the only one.
>Judges show up and do their thing, all pretty chill folks. I thank them and take my spot now at the very end of the line. LAST BUT NOT LEAST etc
>Competition ensues.
>I win my division.
>"Your character isn't even from a manga or anime" "You were singled out even before the walkons started"
>Drama drama drama drama

I know how bad it must have looked to the other competitors, what with the prejudging right before the event. I'll never enter another cosplay competition again, unless I'm in a group, holy crap. I'll just stick to photoshoots.
