I don't even think cod-tier's Porrim is as bad as everyone makes it out to be? I really like her makeup. Porrim's sprite is shown wearing heavy makeup so I don't see what the problem is. Her wig is messy but the bangs and top are styled and actually look like Porrim's hair unlike the other 70% of Porrim cosplayers. Her dress of course is horrible but neck up I think she looks great. I can see why someone would dislike that cosplay but I don't understand why it gets mentioned so often. Is it just the terrible dress? And why don't some of you like her makeup? Like I think someone else said, at least she isn't wearing the horrific Aradia lashes.

Are you trolling, right? You have to be.
Only green eyeshadow doesn't make heavy make up, and are really talking about the same wig because this isn't only messy, it's curly, and I don't remember Porrim's hair being curly at all.

Hard to tell in the pic, but it looks like you might want to even it out a bit between the two larger horns, since the one on the right side of the photo seems to have orange that goes further up. There also appears to be a patch on the right one where the orange doesn't blend as well, but it could just be lighting.

The gradient is nice, but the colors seem faded? Of course saturation/intensity is up to the cosplayer, but at this point they look like pastels instead of candy corn and whatnot.

Semi-related issue.

I'd like to buy a troll shirt since they're subtle and not too weebish for regular people but since they've got zodiacs on I was wondering if I should get my own patron troll or the one I actually like best.

Looks like she's just bought a wig online that was flicked at the ends. Roxys lookso much better when they actually style the wigs. It looks stupid and lazy when they don't. Take this Roxy for example: all she's done is paint/transfer the symbol. That's it. Her shoes and socks aren't canon, obviously she didn't sew her stockings and the wig isn't styled at all. Roxy's skirt is white. If you're going to wear a pink one at least wear it in her colour and not some random shade.

It's a shame. She's a pretty girl, but doesn't seem to try on her costumes at all, or at least she rushes them and cuts too many corners. She actually could be really great at cosplaying if she got some sewing practice in and took the time to do things right and stop being so half-assed about it. But apparently that's never going to happen?

Either it looks like she sewed the brighter red on her shirt with troll makeup on her hands or she glued it to her shirt. Either or, really sloppy work and the runs in her tights are a bit bothersome. She really is pretty though, face wise, so I can only hope she tries to improve her sewing because as anon said, she could be a really good cosplayer on the scene.

What is you guys' greatest pet peeve regarding Homestuck cosplays? I mean, if you had to choose one. One particular thing that will automatically make you think, "Wow. This shit is awful."

Guys that don't wear wigs or, if cosplaying a troll, don't go grey. Also guys who don't wear makeup at all.

I get that there's a certain stigma surrounding men who wear wigs or makeup, but the cosplay community is removed from societies stigmas in a way.

Having a dick in your pants isn't going to let you off the hook when there are other people working twice as hard.

I see the very same guys I saw last year doing the same exact cosplays and still not wearing a wig or makeup, even when their hair isn't remotely close to the character's.

Honestly, my biggest beef with her is that I'm 99% sure she uses the same wig for everything. If she has a more accurate wig, she'd be one of the best Porrim's out there. I'd hate to pull this card, but while her make up is over the top for her other stuff (and god forbid don't get me started on her Aradia it's horrific), I feel she's only called a shitty Porrim because people feel you can't be bigger and considered an over sexualized person. Because sexy doesn't work that way, people have to fit YOUR standards of sexy.

TL;DR: I like her Porrim.

The one thing that really ruins a cosplay is dark grey paint instead of light grey. At best, it looks crap, and at worst, it looks annoyingly like blackface. Also: People who only paint their face and not any other skin showing (except for makeup tests). Also: Unstyled wigs, for everyone but ESPECIALLY Karkats and Daves, because they're the worst victims.

Also also: Visible headbands, droopy-horn Eridans, horns with rounded bases that aren't hidden by the wig, genderswaps which don't translate the character's look and are just The Character But In Thigh Highs/A Lolita Wig And No Binding Wooooooo (see pic), people squeezing into clothes way too small for them especially skinny jeans, unfinished hems,yellow nails rather than orange, flat-coloured contact lenses (except for black when people plan on shooping their eyes yellow for the super-canon look, and white for dead people), when paint is applied in such a way as to leave gaping skin-coloured panda-eyes, freehand painted symbols in MOST cases, 90% of the time when cosplayers use those huge 'fawn ears', stupid 'edgy redesigns', freckles which are just a bunch of stupid black dots, and when Homestuck cosplay porn ends up on my dash.

I just felt like I should say something; this was just a makeup test, and I decided to go on omegle, so I just made some really crappy horns out of paper for the occasion!

Don't worry about it, I was just going through the hs cosplay tag for some troll horns to add to the post, and I just happened to land on you. I wasn't trying to single you out or anything.

I can excuse flat colored contacts for Dirk cosplayers. From what I've seen, there are really only two varieties of orange contacts on the market, one of which is advertised as some kind of werewolf lens and looks like more of a diluted orange-brown when worn (and has a gross yellow center for some reason), and the other is an orange manson lens. They both look fake and jarring as hell, but when options are limited, beggars can't be choosers, and at least the manson is actually orange.

Style your wig.
This is a personal peeve of mine, DON'T bite your lips for buckteeth. That's not what they look like, I see so many dumb cosplayers for Harley/Egbert/Crocker/English do it.
If you're going to get a tight fitting skirt in blue, make sure it's the right shade.
Don't use Jade glasses. Jane's are oval shaped.
Make sure the shirt symbol is clean if you're painting it.

That's about what I can think of.

Get a good wig and style it well
Do her glasses right
If you're going to be painting her symbol on a shirt, please do it neatly
Make sure that the shirt you wear is a t-shirt
Get a skirt that looks nice on you and is canon-colored
Make sure her shoes are right. Her default shoes look like Adidas Samoas or Gazelle shoes imo, and I'm sure you could find knockoffs for cheaper. Pic related is the best ref I had for her shoes

That's about it. Her default outfit is pretty simple, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't put time and effort into it like so many Janes do. I hope I helped!

I second the notion of water-based grey for sensitive skin, as I have this problem myself. (I've found I'm okay with Ben Nye for winter cons, but not so much in the summer.) Water-based tends to take a little more skill to apply without streaks, but it is nicer to skin. I have not used Snazaroo myself, but the water-based Ben Nye worked well, despite being slightly too dark of a grey. There are alcohol activators for the water-based makeups that make them much more resistant to water, so you don't have to worry about moisture as much with those.
Also, PAX seems to be pretty nice to sensitive skin (good for painting arms, not so much the face - trust me on this, haha), though it is difficult to remove.

I've never used Pros-Aide, only the No Tack version and for me it's really convenient if you don't want to get grey on anything. You just mix it with acrylic paint of your choice, apply with a foam paint brush, dry with a hair dryer or something and use baby powder to seal it. If you're putting it somewhere like your arms you're going to need help applying it though. Also you need the remover if you want to get it off. It's not the easiest thing to take off.

HI THERE ANON, let me talk to you about PAX!

I was supposed to do PAX tests with friends over winter break encompassing all three varieties, but that's been pushed back again. At the very least, I can share our in-cosplay experiences with the stuff so far

My friend has a bottle of No-Tack and I have a bottle of II, and we've both borrowed each other's on the occasions where only one of us brought it. I'll add in the usual disclaimer of "good for non-flexing areas like the neck and limbs, prone to cracking on joints and face"

No-Tack has a slightly yellowish tinge to it, and is less opaque than Original or II. With a 1:1: paint to Pros Aide ratio, it went on evenly in about 2-3 coats. I'll try to get her to respond with her experiences.

II is pure white like Original, and comparable in consistency to No Tack, but much more opaque. Image is 2-3 layers of II on a hand not too long after application. It seems to cling to the sponge a little more than No-Tack while doing the stippling motion. Both my friend and I have noticed that II is much easier to remove than No Tack or Original; sometimes hot water and a bit of soap and friction is enough to remove it, but if that fails a shower and some makeup wipes will also work. I have a bottle of remover that I've also used successfully... but since II is easier to remove, I usually don't bother.

alright, accidentally posted in the wrong place. kinda embarrassing, but whatever.

went to a local beauty supply store and bought a really long weft that went all the way down to mid calf. i braided it, sewed it into my short wig. the pack should even be enough for both braids (and it was only 3 bucks). any beauty supply store should have them.

I bought mine locally from Frends Beauty Supply in Burbank, but they have a website as well.

I also forgot to mention, but if you're going to apply it on your arms or hands and have... well, kind of hairy knuckles, hands, or limbs, shaving well help you so much with application and removal.

>>6553308
Kind of? Directly after powdering it'll look pretty matte, but as the excess wears off you'll start to look a little plasticky on the surface. It's another tradeoff.

If you don't use remover, I'd recommend having something like Neutrogena makeup removal wipes (don't use Garnier, those are shit compared to Neutro) or Dr. Bronners.

I'd also recommend using the remover if you aren't shaving the area beforehand. Instructions on HOW to use the remover are pretty vague, but what seems to work best is applying a thin layer of the remover to the PAX, letting it sit and break down the adhesives, then put more remover on a cotton pad, makeup sponge, etc and use that to wipe the makeup off.

I did some quick sleuthing, and went through the blogs that account follows. One of them is of a 14 year old girl from London, who looks a bit like the nudestuck blog and some of the pictures backgrounds seem to match up?

The only cosplay things I've been to have been really casual meetups and having a good cosplay wasn't a big deal at all. If I wanted to make an actually good one, are there some basic tutorials out there going over the basics that most newbies fuck up on?
What do you think are the biggest/most common mistakes for someone who's new to this?

Not sealing your makeup if you're doing a troll. Additionally, visible headbands, and terrible troll horns.

Honestly, above all else, find someone who's going to be honest with you about your costume, even brutally so, before you wear it. Having a second opinion is the best thing you can get sometimes.

Yes, I am well aware of the horrors of unsealed makeup.
I threw together a shitty terribad SS cosplay for a winter meetup thing that was supposed to be casual, and a landwhale feferi cosplayer with unsealed makeup ran up to me and hugged me, destroying the morphsuit and suit for the rest of the night. Goddamnit.

Try to go for black wire glasses, not the stupid plastic hipster ones at like hot topic.
Don't go overboard with the whole mascara crap either
and if you choose to use a blue skirt vs. a white one, make sure the blue matches the blue in the symbol. Tight skirts, imo, tend to look odd on jane as she's more 50's-ish orientated almost. Think your grandma.
Her white shoes can be made by using a pair of plain white shoes from walmart or such and painting on (neatly!!!) the stripe-like things.

Some people, as in my case, use fabric paint because iron-ons come off and they are crap in a $20 packaging.
The problem is that people don't know how to stencil the goddamn symbol- they make it off center etc like yikes
its not that hard to properly do ((pic is mine, its a tad wrinkly i just threw it on to show you guys)) but some people try to rush it or do it freehand.

That's EXACTLY how I feel about them, and I've always done paint. My Roxy paint is off shade but this is all I have. If you use the stencils from sweetartsandhellacrafts and just mark a little bit down from where the tag is, you should be fine. I don't know what's so hard either.

I saw this in person at ALA and it looked fucking great and they really did a good job of avoiding any blackface sort of stuff because the black makeup was more gray.

But seeing the photoset, I think it is too heavily edited. Maybe the photographer did want a carapace sheen, but the skin just looks like a deviantart kid tried to smooth the skin, and made it more blackfacey too. It's a shame though because it didn't look like that in person.

The best way I've found is to put the headband under the wig, and to put the horns through the wefts in the wig. It has to be done carefully so you don't ruin the wig or the horns, and you might have to arrange some of the displaced hair, but I've found that it looks infinitely nicer than having a giant headband showing up in pictures.

I don't get why it's such a bad thing to go out in full cosplay. I mean, I'm sure sure why you would, since it seems like a waste of grey paint if you're doing troll cosplay, but still? Who really cares? As long as they are being respectful and not getting paint on things, etc, it really doesn't make a difference. Could even be a fun experience.

You're wrong. A lot of violin art for some reason thinks you're supposed to ever touch the bow hair, or hold it sideways on your shoulder or something.
If you see a violin with a mechanical chinrest on it, you know they've been recently practicing/playing, because it can't fit in a case with it on. Also its ugly, and all you can use to protect your clavicles from holding 80% of a violin's weight; show violinists don't use 'em and I don't think cosplayers should (unless they're playing for hours).
