>> No.6786009

Space apart the scars, make the marks look less like greasy crayon and more like actual scars. Make your makeup less greasy in general, sealing and powdering should fix this right up. Also, make it look less runny.
Last note, Not sure if this is the lighting or not but you need to reduce the shine in your wig, putting it in fabric softener will do the trick.

So, I just got into homestuck. Well I've been reading for a while because a friend got me into it, and while I'm still working my way through it I really like Rose and know I want to cosplay her at some point.

I came across this fan art floating around the interwebs of her god tier form, I know it really doesnt look like her actual outfit, well I mean it does and it doesnt it's fan art after all.

My problem is I want to cosplay it, and I know cosplaying fan art is a thing that happens and I like that cause theres cool fan art, but I dont want to feel like I'm 'sluttifying' a character because I just like this more intricate design. I was thinking maybe bring down the skirt some so it doesnt split quiet that high? I dont know opinions? I might just cosplay her regular god tier but I do really like this idea since I enjoy the idea of adding some detail to what are some very simple designs.

Hey guys, so I'm a pretty big fan of Homestuck and I've decided to cosplay as Tavros because I'm actually stuck in a wheel chair. I was just wondering if anyone had some sweet cosplay tutorials [I already have the chair and the hair] they could link me to. Thanks.

Also, I've been reading a lot of horror stories lately, and I just want to ask whether or not the fans are going to attack me. Because I'm seriously afraid of people jumping on me or flipping over my wheelchair. Any advice on this subject?

IA. They need to be aware of their own skill level and at least TRY. A four year old can tell that loose threads everywhere and puckering hemlines don't look good. And if you are for some odd reason unable to understand how body paint works pick a character that doesn't need it. The point with HS cosplay is that there's so many simpler designs for beginners to attempt.

Unskilled is no excuse to be lazy but it's ok to be a beginner and we all started somewhere.

The thing about Homestuck cosplay, since there are simple designs for beginners attempt as you claim, does that mean it's perfectly okay to just buy your clothes, especially if you don't know how to sew?

That is when it comes to more casual outfits like John's Vriska outfit or Dave's regular outfit, although the latter of which is a bit too easy so it gets judged even MORE harshly.

Should beginners not do that because of how ridiculously easy those two are and would be judged even more harshly?

Basically, if you can't sew or make things, if you can only buy the right clothes, should you not do it because it's too easy?

To be honest- I would much rather welcome beginner cosplayers with open arms than be trapped in a circle of aging elitists. Sure, sometimes beginner costumes are... exceptional in how fantastically terrible they are, but everybody has to start somewhere. I in no way encourage or endorse laziness, but I do always encourage people to try new things, even if they're not so good at them, even if they might fail. Perhaps expecially if there is a chance of failure. I think that failure is a very important part of growth.

Sort of tying into this, is it lazy to commission people to make hoods and other things for you?

Or should you just quit cosplay right there since that shows you don't know how to make anything, just buy things, so you shouldn't even start?

Let's say somebody wanted to cosplay as say God Tier John. They'd buy a shirt and print or iron on the symbol, buy the pants, shoes, wig, glasses, all that'd be missing is the hood and they don't know how to make it. Would it be acceptable to commission it or tough fucking luck, you either make it yourself or you don't do it at all?

of course you can commission it. Cosplay is so much more than just the outfit, and commissioning a part of the outfit is like getting a friend to make your prop. It's totally acceptable to use any means necessary to make your cosplay look as good as possible.

Just bring a pal along to help you and maybe be on the lookout for bad fans. Also look around your community and try and figure out which fans are bad so you can stay away from them if you want to and you should be fine.
The bad fans aren't as many as they may seem, maybe 1/20 is a bad fan, and maybe 1/50 is "throwing buckets at karkats and shouting "OH GOG""-bad.

Just jumping in, where I originally come from a good percentage of people get their cosplays tailored or commissioned, but they're no less a cosplayer than the ones who make their own shit from the ground up.

A lot of my local cosplayer friends struggle with a sewing machine, but they're still great cosplayers in their own right, and if you look at just their photos you probably won't guess that they don't know how to sew together stretch fabric.

There's more than just "can't work a sewing machine" that makes a cosplayer bad imo. Cosplay as a hobby has evolved a lot, some people really enjoy the construction aspect as well as just dressing up, and some people just want to dress up.

That being said, I do also think that people need to put effort into looking nice when they're in costume, regardless of whether they made their shit or not.

PAX is Pros-aide (a kind of glue) mixed with acrylics.
It is really good for any high-rub-low-joint-low muscle-pull areas, such as neck or arms or bare skin on per example the stomach. It isn't very good for hands or faces though, on the hands it peels off and on the face it restricts your movement.

It is good because it doesn't rub off and stays on for quite some time. I applied mine the night before the con, it stayed for two three days before it started peeling (legs and neck). It was great because I didn't need help applying makeup on my neck.

Personally, I'd go with the Max Pures. I have the GBT Blue lenses for John, and they're super vibrant, but their green lenses are a more muted color than the blue ones are, so the Max Pure Green contacts would probably show up better in pictures. Plus, up close, the rims of the GBTs are actually pixelated, and it bugs the hell out of me. I prefer lenses with either a black limbal ring or one that's been evenly colored a shade darker than the color of the lens as opposed to the spotty transition the GBT's have. As far as eye color goes, my eyes are actually hazel too, so you shouldn't have a problem on that front as far as noticeable color goes.

Stop.
If you need a "Save our Promstuck" fund, it needs to die. You aren't donating to any fucking organization or charity. The leftovers of your $10,000 pot goes to the same five fucking people.
instead of overextending yourselves, you should have gotten an affordable place to have the dance, set a cap of attendance, and spend every penny on the fucking food and decorations.

I have never missed the two girls who used to run NYCstuck before you assholes came in. They made it plain and simple. One organized, the other was security. Everything was fine til the BNF's pushed them out and let every Stuckaboo and their 5 year old sister in.

You guys are an embarrassment. This promstuck will be my last NYCstuck til they come back. I stuck it out hoping you guys would learn a lesson. But you're all too stupid.

One of them left way back in 2011 after the Karaokestuck drama and was fed up after she was accused of because a cause of it, and the other has been out of the Homestuck fandom since Otakon. They left out of their own accord, not because anyone fucking pushed them out. If you're expecting them to return at any point in time, you're an idiot.

You can have issues without being in need of therapy; you can be depressed without being clinically depressed.

How can people have issues if they're not serious and clinically diagnosed? They might just be having bad days or they're just too weak to bring themselves back up so they resort to bitching about it, as a majority of tumblr users do.

I’m sure there are; although I don’t really follow hs BNF’s anymore.

I think though that there is a lot of general knowledge about metal illness these days. And by general I mean wiki or web MD knowledge. With this I feel a lot of people self-diagnose and end up convincing themselves that they have a true mental disorder.

I know tumblr has a lot of mental illness talk and while that can beneficial it can also gets people thinking, “Gee I wonder if I have that”.

I feel that way too. I have MDD like everyone else in the world basically but I feel that tumblr glamorizes MDD or at least encourages people to helpless about it. Like "oh, I have depression, there's no behavioral therapy or change in mindset that I need to take up, I'm just sick and that's it." Depression isn't a fucking terminal disease, you can manage it and overcome it even if it can be really hard to do that.

You don't think that someone can have, for example, some form anxiety in their lives and say to themselves, "This is something in my life which is a recurring issue, but it is extremely minor and does not severely affect my overall mental health and is therefore not in need of clinical diagnosis and can be dealt with on my own"?

IMHO this is the kind of shit an annoying number of people do in general, not just a BNF trend. Everyone has issues, but not everyone is willing to keep them personal when there's a ready ask box ripe for the *HUGS*

Finding a cosplayer with zero personal issues probably isn't going to happen. Your best bet is to follow someone who either doesn't talk about IRL stuff, or who only posts reblogs and cosplay.

Yeah, I've seen the shoulders. Their designs are so inconsistant, though, so it's really hard to go by that and say it's canon. For example, there are some older panels from the beginning of act 6 (back when Dirk was first introduced) and he looks like a little boy.
Also this is irrelevant (ish?) but look at the size of Dirk's legs, and then Jake's. Dirk has chicken legs! Cute.

the thing about binding is that it depends on how much breast tissue you have; if you have a lot of breast tissue it makes the boobs heavier and harder to compress. in theory larger boobs = more tissue but it doesn't always work that way. I have a friend who has D cup breasts and can just push 'em right over and in, meanwhile myself as a C cup its REALLY hard because I have a lot of breast tissue.

typically if you're using a real binder you'll be able to get them flat but there's a change they just have a lot of breast tissue which is gonna feel more like you're shoving rocks into your ribcage.

>>6790499

>>6790505
yeah, that's typical for someone who has more breast tissue. its literally unavoidable. the best thing you can do is push them sideways, closer to under your arms, giving you a wider chest.

Hi HSG, I was wondering what the best method was for filling in cracks in model magic horns and then sealing the paint after it's dry. My friends recommended spackle or clear polish to cover little cracks and then Mod Podge for when you've finished painting, Is this a good way to go or is there something better I should do?

>> No.6791115

>>6791112
Spackle is best, mod podge is too Only for tiny shit would i say do the nail polish method. On another note just use google for these questions.

man that's the worst way to make them
just go over them with a thin layer of podge and seal them

I'm asking because I did look it up. Almost every tutorial on homestuckcosplayhelp worked with model magic wrapped around tin foil, except for I think one that used paperclay. I'm sorry if this is information that a lot of people know, I've never cosplayed a troll before.

seeing as how you appear to have looked at a bunch of tutorials I'll help you out

It's a pretty legit question since people's experiences with whatever it used to make horns is different from others. No need to be so angry.

>>6791144
Same applies to you. Just because you might of had a bad experience or people don't know how to properly handle model magic doesn't mean you have to be angry at someone's question.

>>6791149
>>6791112
Smooth cracks over with sandpaper and some glue. Paint will hide cracks if they're tiny but if they're huge, go with a different method like paper clay, mache or foam. It all depends on which troll you're attempting.

Don't use model magic for say some of the bigger horns cause it's not good for large support.

Modelmagic is fine, I use elmer's glue to fill in cracks and to strengthen the horns, though this takes time and layers. Paperclay can also work.

if you regulate the air flow it'll prevent cracking. Put it in a tupperware or somethin, it'll take longer to dry but you won't get cracking

No problem. Using a bit of liquid super glue should help keep the pieces from cracking more and just make sure to not use soupy paint. Something thick and the cracks won't show up. If you have some glue over flowing from the cracks, sanding it will give it an even surface.

Good luck, anon!
