Homestuck General Thread Continues

[Anonymous No.6928754]

Continued from the last thread.

Let's discuss:
> What Homestuck cosplays are you working on right now?
> What Homestuck cosplays do you have planned, and for when?

Me, I'll get around to a Dirk Strider cosplay in his various outfits, I'll start once my wig comes in and I figure out where to get a good pair of glasses. Everyone gets them from Akujinscos, but the Mini Black ones aren't angled / shaped properly, and the bigger ones are just too big.

I personally think the glasses from Akujinscos are just fine. The angle is hardly off. Besides, the actual shape of his glasses is kind of ugly. They'd follow the "just because it looks ok in the comic doesn't mean it'll translate into real life flatteringly" rule.

[Anonymous No.6928784]

>>6928780
The angle is off because it's angled lower than how it's supposed to be, so it almost looks like just one flat line. And, I have seen two pairs of these glasses irl, and while they look okay, it's going to bug the hell out of me because I know they're not exactly canonically angled and shaped.

Looking for some opinions, HSG. Would you rather see a Dress of Eclectica with the skirt silhouette on the left or on the right? (pardon the scribbliness, I was getting increasingly drinky throughout the night)

>>6928830
Looks exciting! Are you going with a platoon?

[Anonymous No.6929143]

>>6929130
Right. It looks better as part of a casual set and is actually accurate. Maybe if you wanted a bit of both/some personalisation, you could make the top layer a little longer, and add a sweetheart neckline or something?

[Anonymous No.6929147]

>>6929130
The right.

Working on a shits-n-giggles crossover cosplay (gotta learn to sew somehow), plus if I have time before Otakon I should polish my WV cosplay a little. That's it for this year, though in the future I'd like to do some Problem Sleuth cosplay, Aradia, maybe avenge my shitty first cosplay of Kanaya...

[Anonymous No.6929190]

>>6929143
>is actually accurate
My personal uncertainty actually arose since there had been talk in HSG previously about how the top tier on the Eclectica dress should be bubbled into the second tier, since it's hard to tell with the sprite image. I do prefer the silhouette on the right, though, since it'll look better with my body shape. Thanks for the input!

[Anonymous No.6929222]

Guys, all of these cosplays are inaccurate because when they stand there, they have no arms.

A dedicated cosplayer would chop their arms off.

Hey /hsg/ I am a long time lurker, I almost never post, but since I know you guys tend to like to see normal dreamer outfits, I thought I'd ask..My sig other and I are planning on doing Dreamer Cronus and Aranea this summer. I have a good idea of what I am doing, I am just wondering if anyone had any tips on the "tube" collar part. There is a tutorial I found, but it doesn't go into the "filling". I was thinking of just making the tube and putting some rolled up batting in it to keep the shape. Any ideas/suggestions?

Also, since the Dancestors don't have their dreamer outfits shown officially, I was going to go off the standard Derse and Prospit, using the skirt version for Aranea, since it is what Vriska has. But I've been toying with the idea of making the skirt with the edges of her blue default skirt, though. Sound good/bad/indifferent?

Thank you muchly!

[Anonymous No.6929337]

So, what do you all think of Derse Dreamers who go for the more royal / deep purple shade as opposed to the more accurate pink-purple shade for their outfits?

The former does represent the colour of Derse well, but the actual outfits the characters wear lean more towards the latter. Some make the former work quite nicely, like those two Striders at Katsu (I think one of them was gomu...?) that people tend to post.

Question is though, what looks better? Go for accuracy of the outfits, or go for the accuracy of representing the colour of Derse?

Prospit Dreamers have it easier... they just have to be dressed in yellow.

[Anonymous No.6929364]

>>6929337

Personally I'd rather see somebody in a costume made of something nice that's off color than a shade accurate broadcloth mess. Purples are hard, and with dense it's not like the gauze/eridan difference where a few shades off is actually a huge deal.

[Anonymous No.6929390]

>>6929281
Eridan's dreamer outfit has his cape and scarf, so you could probably get away with Aranea's skirt.
>>6929337
Derse magenta is actually a pain in the ass to find as far as fabric goes, and I only had to do a carapace cosplay. I can't fault dreamers for purple; it gets the point across.

[Anonymous No.6929400]

>>6929390
Magenta! That's the name of the colour... I kept calling it pink-purple every time. Which it is, but I now know it has an actual name.

But yeah, it's just, as
>>6929364
mentioned, I was wondering how big of a deal it would be since finding the right shades of a colour (usually purple in this case, both with Eridan, and the Derse colours, and what do you know, Eridan is also a Derse dreamer).

On a sort of related note, I can't find ANY good blue shirt for John, because I can't find any in the right, exact shade of blue. They either end up being too light or too dark of a shade, and the symbol doesn't contrast with it enough to stand out, and I can't resort to just making the symbol white since... well, it's not white. What do?

[Anonymous No.6929405]

Hey HSG, I painted my shoes for God Tier John a few days ago using yellow and blue acrylic paint, but when I had them on earlier to walk around and break them in, the blue started flaking and peeling cleanly away from the rubber lining around the sole. If I repainted with fabric paint, would that solve my problem? Anyone know why this is happening?

[Anonymous No.6929422]

>>6929405
You probably didn't seal the paint. I read on homestuckcosplayhelp that clear nail polish can do the trick and seal the paint, although I've yet to try it myself and I don't know if anyone else has. But in all likelihood, if you simply just painted it on and didn't have any way of sealing it and protecting it from scratches and rubbing, well... it leads to scratches and rubbing, I imagine.

[Anonymous No.6929426]

>>6929422
I sprayed the shoes all over with a sealant I bought at Michaels. I was thinking maybe the flexing of the shoe on the rubber - as opposed to the canvas body, where the yellow was - was making the paint loosen and peel off? But I'm not sure.

[Anonymous No.6929486]

>>6929405
Nail polish would be a good way to go. I've got to touch up my god tier John shoes myself, I was stupid enough to think that modge podge was a good enough sealant.

Does anyone have an opinion on Amphigory's wigs? I found a wig that looks like it could work well for Roxy, but I'm unsure of the quality.

[Anonymous No.6929543]

>>6929533
Amphigory is averageish quality. Kanekalon fiber but not heat resistant for most, and don't expect a wig with a huge amount of fiber like something from Arda. Also do not order from them unless you don't need the wig for at least a month - their shipping times are absolutely nuts despite being in the USA. That being said they do carry several different lines, so the quality can vary.

I'm pretty sure in the huge Vriska vs Meenah showdown Aranea was shown to have the exact same outfit as Vriska. Maybe the little detail wouldn't be bad, but don't make it as short as Aranea's other dresses.

For the collar, try paneling it like a scarf, but make it a complete circle, sewing it shut into a tube (you'll have a raw edge here; leave a little opening), stuffing it with poly/cotton stuffing, closing the opening, then using the raw edge to sew it to the top.

[Anonymous No.6929921]

>>6929337
You're thinking of gomugomugodhead and dersedreamer. I think it's okay to go for a more royal colour, but make sure you buy your different shades of purple together and they actually look NICE together. There's no real wrong way for letting loose of canon a bit and going for something more visually appealing.

Yup, gomugomugodhead and dersedreamer, their Derse Dreamer Striders were very nice and in fact, are sort of what I want to go for, since I want to be Derse Dreamer Dirk.

See, I read in a previous thread that the colours are important, and that they should also compliment your skin colour. Somebody with lighter skin like gomugomugodhead and dersedreamer would look nice in the royal purple, but I've got tanned skin, so I think it was suggested that the more canonical magenta would look nicer.

Do what anon said for the derse and apply it to the breath colours. Just buy your colours together and make sure they look good /together/ and against your skin tone.

Try to start searching with over a month to make the cosplay, or ask the employees when they restock their store and go right after.

[Anonymous No.6930643]

>>6930553
If you've ever heard of a thing called PAX it's kinda like liquid latex. It's a liquid based skin adhesive called Pros-Aid that you mix 1:1 with nontoxic acrylic paint. It peels off instead of rubbing off, but you have to look out for cracks anywhere the skin crinkles, and it's discouraged to use on your face.

I did have one friend who cosplayed Zombie from Hanna is Not a Boy's name, who used some standard body paint on their arms (not sure if it's Ben Nye or Kryolan or what) and then used liquid latex on their hands. I'm not sure if they mean actual liquid latex or just PAX.

[Anonymous No.6930651]

>>6930636
Buying the colours together basically means you'll buy the right shades that look good together as far as the outfit goes, but then making sure it'll look good with your skin colour is also just as important, right? Just to reiterate. Even then, I wouldn't be showing much skin anyway... just my hands and face. But what'll matter is that it's still something that will either compliment or contrast nicely, or if it's something that'll conflict, right?

Saturated blues are surprisingly tough; I've got a MLP cosplay in the works that skews a little more purple than canon because I needed to match three blues in the same sort of fabric and not have them look too assy together. The best thing you can do is use one color to find the other; once you have a decent symbol cyan, carry it around to compare to the cornflower blue or whatever you'll need for the shirt. At least since you only need a symbol and shirt your options are pretty open as far as fabric goes.

I've also dyed applique fabric before, but I had easier colors to work with.

If I had the power of a god I would arrange the fandom in a pyramid of intellectuality and then slice the bottom layers off.
Not only does the fandom need to get sized down, but I also don't think homestuck gets the respect it deserves in relation to what a very intellectual piece of literature it actually is. It is a very interesting work in terms of storytelling and similar and I think it's a shame how that gets constantly forgotten.

There's a lot of innovative stuff in it with regards to formatting and expounding on the "web" part of webcomics and will probably be pretty influential wrt all that regardless but any of the interesting narrative/meta textual stuff that would be nice to see as a legacy is firmly lost under a sea of streaky gray ham beasts.

[Anonymous No.6930933]

>>6930863

I'm not arguing that its GOOD, but that it did a lot of new things in a well executed way (merging panels and music, incorporating so much animation, the game mechanics embedded in the page controls). A lot of the genre has been stuck in a very print-based format, Homestuck is something that can only exist as a whole online. Already, other webcomics are picking up on that stuff and using it. In THAT way, it in influential.

But yeah the characters/plots/jokes not so much I'll give you that nobody's going to remember some weird gray sprite characters in three years.

[Anonymous No.6930947]

>>6930933
Oh, okay, so you see it more as an influence in terms of literally breaking the format in some cases, like... in a recent update, John escapes into the wind and actually leaves the panel, no, he leaves the site itself as the trails of wind go off screen, and then in another recent flash, all glitchy and messy, featuring Jade and Jane, shows the panel window moving and resizing as it needed, just like some moments in Cascade.

That sort of thing, is what you're talking about, right?

In terms of the content itself, it's just a lot like Kingdom Hearts, I see it as, anyway.

Not to mention the way Hussie incorporates himself as a character, maybe that has been done before but how he utilises his hypothetical place as the author as well as the website itself as a storytelling tool is very interesting to me.

See, I'm getting the outfit commissioned, but I'll be meeting with my commissioner in about two weeks so we can discuss how this thing will go down. I'm still leaning towards the more canon magenta since I read that it'll look nicer against tanned skin as opposed to the royal purple (violet? That's the name, right?), but at least until then I can still gather some insight.

Also, I'm not really digging that wig, but I love those glasses. See, I was also talking about the ones from Akujinscos earlier, and the pair everyone gets from there aren't angled as canonically as those ones are, nor as they as big (or at least, the bigger ones are too huge and still more suited for Kamina, maybe Bro as they're meant to as opposed to Dirk). Thankfully somebody told me about a store from Store Envy and I tried to link to it but... I got banned? They were properly shaped though and they were from Lightning And Lace I think, I was meaning to ask if anyone else had such a pair but I wasn't able to due to the ban (which I'm still not sure why it happened).

When I made a dreamer, I made the collar in the most annoying way possible but I think it turned out looking ok. What I did was cut out several strips, I think... 12? Or 14? Maybe more of the same length of the colors of the collar (was Prospit, so light yellow/white) each about an inch and a half thick. Sewed them all together, stuffed it generously with polyfill, and sewed it directly onto the collar. It took a long time but I think the result was worth it.

It's the fact that the seadwellers have so many bells and whistles, such as their jewelry, accessories, fins, finding the right glasses, getting a good wig, getting the right colours (particularly the shade of purple for Eridan's cape and hair).

You could say the last three about any character really, but they're especially important for the seadwellers for... some reason. Because they're royalty and they must look as such, I suppose.

If you're really worried about the darkness of the glasses, you could try getting transparent black enamel spray/window tint. Testors works really well, you just do thin coats until it's dark enough for you. Caution on it though, you don't want it so dark that you can't see indoors.

Homestuck fandom is also the only fandom where I've seen people cosplay fanart. it's the dumbest concept imaginable. Maybe if people stopped cosplaying extremely easy costumes from fanart, and actually tried to put effort into the CANON OUTFITS THE CHARACTERS WEAR, there would be more good homestuck cosplay.

I know why they do it. Homestuck is a big fandom, and they want to be unique, so they cosplay some dumb AU instead of the actually outfits for attention. But the thing is, 99% of people cosplaying the canon outfits are shit. if you actually put effort into the canon outfits, you'd stand out a lot fucking more than just wearing a dumb cat suit with a rose wig and black lipstick.

I would reccomend you go to some sort of make up store. Be honest, say that you do not usually wear make up but that you need something dark. Bring some pictures of whatever outfit you will go with and ask them for help in choosing a good colour that suits the cosplay as well as your colours. The only problem is that you need to go to a bigger make up store because a lot of make up stores do not have "odd" lipstick colours in stock.

But that is the absolutely best way to find good make up if you are not familiar with it.

I think it's absolutely hilarious how different the anons in HSG are. From "THE ANGLE IN THESE DIRK SHADES AREN'T RIGHT/THIS EXACT SHADE OF BLUE ISN'T ACCURATE/THIS PARTICULAR LOCK OF HAIR IS OVER THE SHOULDER AND THUS NOT CANON" to "eh disregard the sprites go with pink lips for Roxy bro it's chill."

[Anonymous No.6933694]

>>6933596
Duly noted. I don't remember there being slits in the side of the shirt though? I thought it was just like, a regular shirt. Anyways, how are the colours, though?

>>6933677
Okay, pardon for wanting to be accurate and exact, or at least as close as possible, I thought you guys were all about that anyway. I never knew there was leeway for things like not getting the right shades of a colour down, even though many people have talked about that in regards to Eridan and well, Derse colours. It's the purples and blues, huh?

[Anonymous No.6933742]

>>6933694
I feel like a lot of us don't give a Single Fuck if you don't have the exact shade of whatever as long as it's not too off or compliments your skintone/color palette of the entire costume, considering we all probably know how difficult it is to get these certain colors in fabrics/wigs/etc. It's always just that handful of assholes (the There Are No Good Eridans asshole, for example) that like to nitpick down to the shade of your contacts (an exaggeration, but you get the point).

So yeah, there's leeway. I really don't see the point in stressing yourself out over tiny details just to be 100% canon in a webcomic where the colors and lengths and shapes of the outfits can completely change depending on the panel -- John's GT shirt being a good example. His sprite doesn't have the slit in the sides, but a lot of his hero mode images do show it.

[Anonymous No.6933758]

>>6933694
There is - check again.
There's some smaller ones on Dave too that most people miss.
Colours for breath are nigh impossible, I thought you did pretty well considering. Maybe making the symbol more vibrant and less pastel.

[Anonymous No.6933765]

>>6933677
As someone more on the latter side of the scale, it annoys the shit out of me sometimes when other anons unnecessarily rip apart those sorts of stupidly small details. HSG has probably always been like that, but the negative ones have just been louder as of late.

[Anonymous No.6933770]

>>6933742
I kind of feel like it's not just the "There Are No Good Eridans" anon that feel like well, there are no good Eridans, or Feferis, and I sort of thought those two are the most difficult, especially Eridan with his different shades of purple. But, as you said, leeway is given because well, it's difficult to get exact or correct or matching shades, so it's okay to just come close? On top of that, it's hard to be exactly 100% canon since the shape, size, colours, etc do change in say, Hero Mode or different panels, right?

As for the Dirk and glasses one, I did kind of feel like everyone was just cool with Akujins glasses, but as a personal preference I would have wanted better angles. That's why I've been asking a lot about alternatives, and although I now know it's not really anybody else giving a damn, in fact people would have probably been a little miffed that I kept asking, so pardon me for that please.

>>6933758
I've checked, I'm not sure where I'm supposed to be looking. I'm guessing it's easily missed? May I please ask what the slits are supposed to look like?

Regardless, thank you. Yeah, I did have a feeling the symbol needed to contrast and stand out a bit more, but I do think the shirt's okay.

[Anonymous No.6933831]

>>6933770
Here are some slits for you.

And yeah, just come close, man. Nobody likes the asshole anons that get their balls all twisted up over every tiny thing. It's going to be hard to get the exact color of fabric and even if you did get the right color, what if it photographs completely differently? Probably why you got snarky anons about your Dirk glasses questions, tbh, because we think akujincos is just fine even if it's not the exact angle it should be. Though... I personally did not know about lightning and lace and your questions helped shed a lot of light on the topic, so thanks.

If it helps at all, I really like dersedreamer's colors for John's GT.

Something I've been curious about Calliope, maybe it's a bit obvious but it couldn't hurt to ask.

She's one of the few, if only, characters where it's okay to have a headband with horns showing? Since she isn't really a troll to begin with and pretends to be, whereas with the actual trolls you need to give the illusion that the horns are coming out of your head, right?

[Anonymous No.6935041]

I would think it's fine to have her headband showing. She's not a "good" troll cosplayer, as shown by the fact she uses the liquid makeup (which is shit)

Many people just slap on a short blonde wig and call it a day, even though that doesn't really fly. But, how does one go about styling it exactly? Up and swept to the side?

Hi, HSG. I'm cosplaying Equius and Nepeta with a friend of mine in September, with her as Nepeta. While I'm doing my best on details to make sure everything looks good (such as getting a lace front wig and wefts to ventilate it), I'm kind of worried because I'm short for a guy and fairly skinny. I have some muscle tone and am planning on working out a good amount before the con, and I'm good with makeup so I can accentuate what muscles I do have, but I really don't want to catch shit for having all my details down but not being super muscular.

Basically: for Equius, if the cosplay itself is really good, how much shit would I catch for being on the skinny side and what if anything can I do to avoid it aside from dropping the whole project? (Pic, clearly, unrelated.)

[Anonymous No.6935405]

>>6935390
Well, truthfully, Equius is 13 years old. Fanart likes to depict him as massively ripped, and the more well known Equius cosplayers do have muscles to show off, but he isn't as bulked as a professional body builder. Like most other cosplays, details are what'll set you apart from the mediocrity of the horde, so pay close attention to replicating every element of his outfit as it's shown in canon.

[Anonymous No.6935454]

>>6935405
Alright, cool. It's pretty easy to forget he's not actually a huge body builder, I guess, so thanks for reminding me. Detail focus it is.

[Anonymous No.6935471]

Personally I don't think it really mattes what KIND of muscular Equius is.

I would go as far as saying for troll Calliope you NEED the headband showing.

When I first found out about PAX it was throug a WOW cosplayer. As in, who had to cover their entire body, and thus didn't have cream make up as a starting point.
It works, but your face gets rather restrained and it can be hard making expressions. But since Calliope is a skeleton I don't know if that's an actual problem...?

OCC Lip Tar in Hoochie
>http://www.occmakeup.com/lips.html

I highly recommend using a clear lip liner and either a good gloss or lip primer because while the color sticks the best out of everything I've ever worn, and takes just a tiny bead to cover your entire lips, it doesn't provide moisture so your lips will dry out throughout the day.

[Anonymous No.6936107]

>>6935629
It is pretty uncomfortable from what I can tell. You would get a lot of peeling where you face moves/wrinkles, and you have to really scrub it to get it to come off, which would probably hurt a lot on sensitive face skin.

That being said, I do have two friends who have skin types where PAX on the face isn't horrible. Definitely test before going to a con, though.

[Anonymous No.6936140]

>>6936107
You do not actually have to scrub as much as many believe. If you know how to use the remover correctly that is. Which most don't since it doesn't come any instructions with the bottle.

For future information, you dab it on the pax and let it sink in for a bit before you scrub it off.
