On the note of shitty Araneas, what are /cgl/'s thoughts on Aranea wigs? I cosplayed Aranea once before and had a straighter black wig closer to canon, but I'm not a fan of how it sits on my head and I've seen a lot of people praised for using curly wigs which, while I think it's adorable, isn't exactly canon.

That's that stupid gothstuck thing, right? Kanaya's drawn as a lolita in that and she should have done the research - get nice lace instead of white frills, fit the body better, and wear a cupcake petti. And what the heck is with that one white button after her waist seam? AND PUT YOUR HORN BAND UNDER YOUR WIG. Also not sure why she went for red lipstick.

She has some impressive potential, though, since that looks homemade. With a bit of crit she could be excellent. Tumblr?

>> No.6651575

So I'm curious.

Should I post my cosplay in here for critique right now, even though I'm not pleased with how my photos turned out and already know a ton of things that need fixed (although critique is always nice)?

Or would it be better to wait until it inevitably gets posted because it has a bunch of tumblr notes even though I don't think it deserves it whatsoever?

I was kind of holding out to see if my photographer would give me any better photos. =(

>> No.6651596

>>6651575

If its so awful you're convinced it's going to get posted you might as well bite the bullet provided you actually want and will use the crit. Don't just post to try and head something off.

That said if you're looking for crit and you already know some of the things you need to fix, list then in the text. We can be more specific and won't waste time going over something you know.

I will say that my main issue is that since all the pictures that my photographer posted were outside, my wig just looks really awful from the wind?
I don't think that it's awful, but I would just like to get some honest critique when my whole ensemble is actually cooperating with me.

I think I will try and wait a few days to see if I can get any of my indoor photos to post here instead. And pray that the silly ones of me making derpface or having wig issues don't show up here before then.

There are definitely some things I'd really like to get an opinion on so I'll definitely be back.

what gets me is that whole huge post she made about being a new cosplayer and needing to be able to be confident even if she's not experienced or amazing because that was her first homestuck cosplay. it doesn't look like she's making any effort to get better at construction! if it was an awful design with great construction it would be less of a big deal. or if she obviously tried with construction but it was beyond her skill level that would have been obvious. But her trims are crooked, that space symbol is a disaster, she's using PUFFY FABRIC PAINT FOR DETAILS, she's obviously not using any kind of pattern-- if she just took her time, worked off commercial patterns, and printed out a space symbol stencil to work off of, her stuff would be worlds better, even if she did vomit trim and beads all over it.

>> No.6652018

I think it would be a lot cuter if instead of just changing it to no horns and no paint you actually changed their designs a little. So since humans wear white shirts with black and color, you could do it like that. White shirts with the symbol outlined in black. things like that.

We don't care what you cosplay as. But to save yourself and some of the fandom embarrassment, you should probably try to style your wigs nice enough to be recognizable without the horns/paint, act respectful in public/at the con, and always use a stencil if you're painting the symbols into your shirts.

human as in zodiac tee/zodiac tanktop at least, if not character-appropriate attire/hairstyles?

Should be okay, assuming you both follow a few basic suggestions for your appearance/behavior:
1.) I assume you both know what hygiene is? I only mention this because of the dreaded "convention funk" some con-goers and even cosplayers bring with them. Anywho, it almost goes without mentioning but I mentioned it just in case.
2.) Tact and courtesy would be the absolute hallmark of Equ/Nep cosplay, I'm sure, but please don't bug the shit out of everyone if at all possible.
3.) If you're not planning on character-appropriate costumes for your casual cosplay, hopefully you have zodiac shirts to wear or at least props, for example cracked sunglasses/fingerless gloves that would suggest "Hey, he's doing an Equius Zahhak casualplay".

Best of luck, and may your con experience be a pleasant one.

Hi, sorry to selfpost but recently I redid my planets and tried to make them a bit brighter with new lights and sanding but I've been finding them a bit lacking. In low light they seem okay but I was curious if there was any way to make them better or look nicer?

And yes, trolls are going to be around 3000 to 4000? pages in. So if you "really *want* to like this community," you'll take your time and read things. It's a difficult journey, especially because you've started very late, but very worthwhile. Otherwise, >>6652326 pretty much sums it up. You'd just be a moronic, cancerous fan who doesn't really know what's going on. But please, for the love of god, don't just click through pages without reading - everything is pretty much vital and leads up to your understanding of what happens next, which is why no synopsis can really capture Homestuck.

I have plenty of pictures, yo! This is pretty much the color I'm working with. The left side is it flat from being eyedropped in photoshop and the left is literally just a ridiculously zoomed in picture of my cheek that was taken in natural lighting during the day for comparison.

My only concern about welovecolors is that the small thumbnail they're giving me makes the gray look cooler than mine. I noticed literally just from standing next to other cosplayers at Katsucon that putting warmer and cooler grays so close to each other really makes the contrast obvious, which is what I'm trying to avoid, if that makes any sense?

On the subject of water-based paint, for those here who use it, how long does Kryolan or Mehron typically last for you? I was under the impression I could get a ton of usage out of it, but I blew through most of a regular-sized container of Mehron in about 8 facepaints.

I initially bought the smallest container of Kryolan available since I just wanted to test it out, so I got the 4ml refill disc. I've painted my face four times and it's not even halfway gone yet. Kryolan keeps really well, you get a lot of color and coverage for not a lot of paint.

You'd obviously have to keep it under Rachel or whatever her names radar, or she'll be up your ass quicker than anything else.
To price something accordingly, it comes down to your own opinion? You have to factor in cost of materials, and labor.

If I were to sell, say smaller horns (karkat, nepeta, terezi, sollux, and maybe equius just because of the broken horn makes them smaller) at around...$6-7.
Medium horns (kanaya, vriska, feferi, eridan) for $9-10.
Large horns (aradia, tavros, and gamzee) for $11-13.

Ancestors horns would be a different story, since for the most part they'd be way huger than the original trolls (other than signless). Those could be priced from $16-20.

That's not including shipping and other stuff. Now those prices are just what I MYSELF would sell them for, but again, it's up to you.

Giving you a warning, "light grey" is like white. What I will do is tell you about ways of matching body paint to your tights.
Pretty much all grey body paint is going to have a blueish tint. Not a big deal. The issue with that is matching it to most tights though. However, the "grey" from welovecolors did match my friends' paint. (He uses mehron grey mixed with white, I think.) The biggest problem you'll have with the light grey tights is getting your paint light enough to match it, without it looking pastyish and glowy. Honestly, if I were you, I'd probably do the layer technique, or I would just buy white body paint and mix a little bit of grey in. What you could also do if you are a perfectionist, is use fabric paint on your tights/gloves to match your paint. Even some grey fabric paint has that blueish tint to it. I've seen that method work nicely too. I guess that's all the advice I have though.

>> No.6652585

>>6652537
You'll have to be careful of Rachel and the other people looking out for people who are selling Homestuck merch. The Whatpumpkin team are working on mass productions of horns and I'm not sure what their prices are for them.

Sadly, for mine, having to work under Hussie, they're rather expensive because he wanted 40% of the profit on top of shipping. So that upped it to 45%. Shipping tends to come out of my own pocket expenses.

My smaller sets go for 25$ and my larger sets are about 45$. For Aradia Bot I usually charge 50 because I carve in to them and I have to do extra painting for metal effects. Factor in what you'll need to do for taxes if you're doing an actual commission business on top of what you'll need for packaging and size. Bigger horns are going to cost a buttload to package and send off. You'll also have to be careful of breaking that might occur in transit.

Wig gives her head an elongated shape, and while she did do the flip on the ends, she didn't bother to style it any further and just pushed the bangs to sit on top of the glasses.
Her body type also feels "off" from the stature of the usual Terezi cosplayers - small and deadly, sometimes with curves thrown in. Her body and face might be better suited to Kanaya, Vriska, maybe Aradia/Feferi.

I like them! Well, I like them in general, and I like the idea of them. I've gone to a couple at smaller cons where I left as soon as I got there, because it just didn't seem to be a crowd that I was interested in hanging with-- but at the bigger cons, even if I don't already know someone there, there's usually a good enough mixture that I am able to make some new friends!

As for local scenes- I love Phillystuck, I absolutely do. We've got some great members and so far as I can tell, we are quite drama-free. That said... at some point around Halloweenstuck 2012, our meetups started to get absolutely massive. Like, 100+ Homestucks running around in Rittenhouse. It's not an issue of space- the park's certainly big enough to hold us all, but it's gotten to be quite chaotic. I am not sure if there's anything to be done for it, but if possible I'd like to bring back the vibes of the first several meets, where we were all just a chill bunch of strangers who wanted to meet locals with common interests. (And gosh now I feel like some sort of cave hag making comments about "the good old days" "back in 2011" "before all these damn kids started showin up")

Because Tumblr has a habit of ~*glamorizing*~ mental disorders and Dave Strider is the poster child for the special snowflake disease that runs rampant through the fandom.

Usually the shades match up pretty well in person. THe problem is with photographs. I think it's usually the matte texture of socks that make the shades look really weird in pictures, as skin is going to be reflective and multi-toned no matter what you put on it (sometimes make up even enhances that effect)

Usually the difference isn't huge, and if anything you can go back and tweak it a little in photoshop

They looked like a woman, and were dressing up as a woman. If they're male then oops on my part.

I'm going to be going as rainbow drinker Kanaya to a convention next week and I'm not sure how to pose. I won't have any props (unless I make a troll!vampire romance novel) so I don't have anything I can pose with. All that I've been able to come up with on my own is to pose with my lipstick and a travel mirror (like I'm ~fixing my makeup~) and the book idea but I feel like both of those could get boring quickly.

Any suggestions? I'm a relatively new cosplayer and poses are definitely something I struggle a lot with.

Every time I look at this girl I can't disassociate her with being the idiot who cosplayed Aradia for her school ID.

I've found looking at fashion spreads in magazines has helped me with body language and posing. It's probably good to break yourself of needing a prop anyway

I know him from Tsukino, and he's a stunning Aradia and a nice person.

What the hell is up with that thigh. It looks so... wide. Almost like it was photoshopped to be that way.

Their wig and makeup look really nice, but i can see the headband of their horns (which also seem a little.... Thick? Bulbous?), and what exactly are they even wearing??? I'm guessing it's some AU or original design, but it doesn't fit that well and the concept is of something that is better off being drawn than actually worn. That said, it looks like they put a good amount of effort into this, and with a little bit of modification it could be turned into something really nice.

She said that the fit was off because she ended up losing a lot of weight before the photoshoot happened.
I've had the same thing happen to me actually. At one con I kept having to pull my pants up since I'd made them first and apparently lost 10 lbs in the meantime without noticing it.

>>6654302
in the comments of the original post she mentioned that she lost a lot of weight before the con she wore it to so it didn't fit as well as it should have + she wanted to fix it up before wearing it again so i'm assuming one day we'll get better shots
