See here's what I don't understand. I get that Dangan Ronpa surged in popularity primarily from Homestuck fans who want something easy, new, and accessible to cosplay while Homestuck's on hiatus, right?

But Homestuck only works because there's no canon bodytypes/skincolors/what have you. You can't be fat Aoi or Naegi or whatever and expect to be taken remotely seriously.

That Asahina looks like a WIP shot, so I wouldn't be surprised if they replaced or fixed up some of their pieces later.

That Junko is obviously from a photoshoot, though, so that shitty costume is meant to be the finished product. Paper pins and hairclips, limp bow, wonky seams, and I think I see some loose threads..

Except then Tumblr's Social Justice Brigade would have shit all over her for brown-facing. The cosplayer is definitely tanner than she usually is, and honestly she would have looked bad if she had gone any tanner.

If she just got some natural sun and not done it with bodypaint/makeup they wouldn't have anything to bitch about.

Of course, it sucks if you want to do pale cosplays the same weekend.

Man, I'm a very pale Israeli girl and I kind of want to cosplay Asahina if only because with a little bit of tanning I'd be the perfect color. I'd wait for the tumblr SJWs to come and scream about how racist I was being only to smack my heritage in their faces.

[Anonymous No.6868249]

Ignore those morons. Using makeup to make a accurate cosplay doesn't make you racist.

[Anonymous No.6868257]

I agree. Bodypainting to make a 100% accurate cosplay is not racist at all. We're all aware humans have different skin tones, and to ignore that when dressing up as a different skintone is retarded. As long as you do it respectfully and seal and what not, there shouldn't be a problem. Kratos is pale as a motherfuck, but if you don't paint yourself p much white, then it just doesn't look as accurate. Not racist at all. Same with tanned characters or actual black characters. So ridiculous.

I cosplayed Fukawa, Monomi, and Mukuro at Fanime. It was so bizarre going to the gathering and seeing so many cosplayers considering just at Sakuracon like a month ago there was my little group and just 2 or 3 other dangan cosplayers. At ALA literally 2 people recognized our group.
It was like being in the twilight zone, looking around and seeing dangan cosplayers besides my friends.

anon i look like her too and just got back from being chiaki at fanime! something about cifera's cosplay seems off to me, maybe i'm just picky about faces, but finding pictures of her definitely helped me not be nervous about the cosplay. just find a skirt length that's flattering for you and be sure that your socks don't have super-tight elastic at the top. mine were made out of some old tights and i just attached them to some pantyhose to keep them up. good pantyhose also helps you feel less exposed and more shapely than chubby!!

[Anonymous No.6871211]

That cosplayer is well known for tailoring things to suit her body type really well. The reason she looks so good as Nanami despite her curvy thighs is due to a well made and fitted costume proportioned properly to her body.

I know the original question didn't really refer to this, but I think some people seem to associate DR closely with Homestuck because of the fandom, and therefore seem to get a bit weird about its sudden popularity gain at cons. But at least DR is relevant to Japanese culture conventions, unlike Homestuck, and even though the people involved have as much potential to be rude as anyone does at a con, at least there is no danger of getting paint everywhere as troll cosplayers do.

darkening your skin to look like a dark skinned character can be interpreted as blackface/yellowface etc. and it's just better to most poc to just stay the skin color you're in. Black cosplayers don't cake on makeup to become white or asian, don't become cake on makeup to make yourself look more ~*~accurate~*~ to a dark skinned character.

Ignore tumblr and darken for cosplay. No one honestly should give them any fucks because the lot are a bunch of uneducated people who want awards and hugs for doing nothing.

The reason black cosplayers dont put on pale makeup is because they'd look terrible. It's easier to darken pale skin than to lighten dark skin.. It's just common sense. My gods, when did cosplay become about 'accuracy = racism'

because blackface/yellowface/brownface is racist no matter what???You're making someone's skin color a costume prop. That's dehumanizing. And You don't have to be 100% accurate.

Isn't it more "offensive" to just completely ignore the skin tone? I mean if a character has blue skin everyone expects the cosplayer to have a matching skin tone. Why would it be any different for regular skin colors?
Some people want to be 100% accurate, and if that means using make-up to look like the character then why the fuck not.

Also, blackface =/= darkening your skin for cosplay. Blackface was used to make fun of dark skinned people, whilst for cosplay it's to look more like the character. How on earth do you think that's racist?
Sage because off topic and obvious mad.

Seriously, using a dark makeup to make yourself appear dark skinned is NOT black face, and the fact that you're even using the word is insulting. Black face was used to exaggerate characteristics of african-americans. Taken straight from wikipedia, "performers create a stereotyped caricature of a black person." Black face wasnt just putting on a dark skin tone. Please educate yourselves before you go off spewing nonsense.

OP of this comment here. I know Aoi is a tanned japanese girl and not black or hispanic or what have you. What I'm saying is is that I go that shade too with enough sun exposure, but because I'm cosplaying very pale characters later in the summer I'm slapping on the sun screen. _I_ know that I'm naturally dark in the summer if I allow myself to be, I could even pull the race card if desperate since I'm a Sephardic Jew, but I've seen people be called on even tanning intentionally to be racist. I just don't want to deal with that shit.

I mean, there are a lot of people who enjoyed it. You can say I have shit-tier taste, but I thought the story and character development was really well done.

[Anonymous No.6873974]

>>6873883
Anime proportions are definitely ridiculous, but there are also some girls out there who have them who cosplay those characters really well.

/Also there is quite a bit padding can do for you, especially with characters like Mami or Asahina if you're going for accuracy. I'm personally not a larger girl, and I can understand where they're coming from, but a lot of times you'll hear stories about friends of friends who try to pull off certain characters "because they have the boobs" and no other similar features. There are a decent amount of characters out there who fit their body type completely.

However, the argument that "cosplay is just for fun" can be made here as well. People are going to cosplay who they want, and that's just a fact. I just wish there wasn't an overabundance of overweight Asahina's who think they have the figure to pull her off.

I don't think anyone could give you a straight answer as to why Homestuck is as hyped as it is either, aside from the group dynamic of "it's popular and everyone else is reading it, I should too".

Although I will say that Dangan Ronpa tends to mess with the reader's head and flip their expectations of characters/generally subverting tropes, which is something kind of unique. It also combines Battle Royale and Phoenix Wright into an enjoyable format, with interesting characters and suspense that keeps the reader going.

I personally read it right before the fandom exploded because my friend had been bugging me to read it for months, and I got through it in a day and a half. I totally get being wary of Tumblr-popular things (aka why I probably will never watch Supernatural or play Off!), but if the concept interests you, I don't think there's anything wrong with liking something other people do. There's a "Let's Play" thread on the SomethingAwful Forums (I dunno if the paywall's up though), which is how all the people who don't live in Japan know about the game, and an anime adaptation which is coming out in August (I think?).

She made a couple of posts about her cosplay before and people were decent with her and told her areas to improve on. However, she didn't seem to consider these constructive criticisms and just complains and whines about it.

Partially what >>6879282 said
I feel like a light gradient of a more warm-toned pink would look really nice. Honestly my biggest beef with majority of Junko wigs so far is that they hardly style them. Spritz up, separate some curls, etc etc. Don't just toss that shit on out of the bag.

Given her exact color is somewhat inconsistent in canon, I think it's kind of left up to your interpretation and preference in the end. If you're have a more olive skin tone, going a bit darker shade and straying from the 'platinum blonde/pink' to make it more flattering would be a good idea.

polite sage for me rambling on about and being derpy

One of the class pictures where her face is blocked, she has the black/white/red tie but has Mukuro-Junko's hair accessories.

There is something really bizarre and unflattering about the proportions of this costume. The jacket and shirt are at a really awkward length with the cut of the skirt, making her torso look inhumanly elongated.

I put this picture into photoshop and played with liquify a little. If she'd tailored it more like this it'd look so much better- i.e. shorter skirt, longer jacket.

Her weird proportions may be the reason. Her chin looks small and she's just... stickbug shaped.

That's just a bad photo. I like this one better. I always picture Kirigiri as Asian.

Why would you need to 'picture' Kirigiri as Asian? She's fucking Japanese. The entire cast is. Go back to tumblr and take your retarded ~race headcanons~ with you.

different anon but i think in this case even if characters ARE Japanese, you can be not-Japanese and dress as them and not look entirely stupid. Celes, for one, I wouldn't find jarring to see portrayed by a white girl, same for a brown girl as Aoi. It's kind of like how even if Wonder Woman isn't Asian, an Asian Wonder Woman still works.

Some of these characters from Dangan Ronpa look less stupid portrayed by non-Asians than others.

I wasn't saying that you can't look good as a DR character if you're not Japanese. Just pointing out that it's dumb to 'picture' Kirigiri as asian when she IS fucking asian, while posting a picture of a white girl.

Nope. wig is still too shiny and costume still looks shitty

I think the wig is fine, the only problem I have with this is the fabric choice for the jacket.

[Anonymous No.6880273]

It just looks really, really shiny in this light, very party wig-ish.

Looks pretty natural to me. I think the wig and the costume look very good.

[Anonymous No.6880308]

>>6880273
I think that mostly is the light, though. It looks pretty harsh, and I think most wigs would have similar problems with it.

[Anonymous No.6880360]

>>6880308
Yeah, you're probably right, actually. The only wigs I can think of looking good in this light are dark, natural colors.
