hey cgl, I have a question.

I'm planning on making a Seer of Blood god tier for Kankri this upcoming Otakon, and I have most of it planned out; I'm stumped as to what fabric to use for the hood itself, however. I'm planning on using a Jersey knit for the robe itself, but should I do the same for the hood? I'm thinking no.

[Anonymous No.6947727]

>>6947721
For the main body jersey knit works great. For my hoods I tend to stick with a thick polyester/cotton blend.

Idk dude, Dave seems like the indoors-except-for-strifing type to me. I'm from Texas and I freckle like crazy when I'm in the sun for 15-20 minutes, which might be about how long strifes might last.

Sclera contacts are contacts that go over your entire eye, on the offchance that there was a misunderstanding
A lot of blind contacts are like this so they fuck up your entire eye
but they need extra fitting

[Anonymous No.6950590]

>>6950586
I'm not, and I think I'd prefer to try and avoid sclera 'cause they're usually really expensive, right? I guess I was thinking more along those 'mesh' ones. But suggest away regardless~

I'm an outsider, but pretty neutral on the subject. But I CAN tell you that a lot of people love to make fun of HS and avoid HS like they are the plague.
I think people like being hipsters and love hating the popularity of HS, because lets face it, y'all are probably the single largest cosplay community to be found at a convention.

I personally don't have a problem with HS, unless you touch me with your greasy paint. Don't do that. Act mature, have fun, and don't bull-bait for trouble.

A lot of people don't care. A lot of people are Homestucks themselves and will be happy to see you, especially if you're in a well-constructed costume. There will also always be some people who decide to act like entitled assholes because they've decided you've "ruined" their precious animu cons. If you're worried about the blowback from random fucksticks, stick with a group of friends since that breed of animu dude tends to target people who are out solo.

for me personally speed or hhc. and by acting in character i meant acting like dave does, not doubting your stage presence. like, if it's a dave cosplayer djng everyone's like oh god not again, but if you keep it up, not breaking character even during announcements or if people come to you to request songs and all that, then it would be a great show number.

Even better if you throw in one of his actual tunes from the comic since they exist.

[Anonymous No.6950852]

>>6950824
I feel like the reason for the bad reputation Homestuck gets is the grey paint, but not just because of it recognizable. I feel like due to a lot of people not knowing how to seal means it to having a higher chance of damaging the costumes and property of others. So, everyone just assumes it's gonna cause problems.

Besides that, I feel like it might just be a bigger fandom than the others were overall. But, that just has to do with cons being bigger and more easily accessible.

I really can't wait until the next really big thing hits. It'll be interesting to watch the horror of whatever it is.

The anti-HS fandom is definitley the worst, in my honest opinion. The only real HS-haters I know of irl are total weebs. "Keep your HS out of my animu cons!!!"
Fun fact: I once got pushed down a flight of stairs by some fat Yuno-cosplaying weeaboo shouting "DIE, HOMESTUCK!" It gave me a concussion. Fortunately, she got escorted out of the con pretty much right after apparentally, for threatening more Homestuck cosplayers.

Like, is it the grey paint? Cause that doesn't include all of them. Is it just the series itself? HS isn't perfect by far, but it's still better than a lot of other webcomics out there so I don't think it's that.

Unless you are directly being assaulted and they will not stop, I'd imagine it'd be fine to just let con security know what's going on.

But, if you are being physically endangered and must take matters into your own hands, then restraining the individual in some fashion would likely be acceptable, if you are alright with the possibly legal ramifications that would come from such an altercation.

Though, attacking Homestucks for being stuckaboos still isn't really the best plan. It really doesn't accomplish much and is honestly just wasted effort.

What's the general opinion on book props for the Disciple? I remember reading that this pretty neat prop, or at least I thought it was neat, was derided since it had the God Tier symbols of Team Signless combined (or rather, the symbols of their counterparts) on the cover.

If you're talking about the white mesh ones, make sure you get it from honeycolor or something - even if you have 20/20 vision, if the contacts are ONLY available in plano, they're probably black market.

[Anonymous No.6952032]

>>6952005
Maybe try the help thread, or check your sewing machine's instruction manual for troubleshooting. Places to start are making sure everything is threaded properly (re-thread everything), the bobbin is facing the right way, the bobbin holder is clean/lint-free, the needle is in properly, the needle is strong enough for the fabric and not blunt, the pressure is correct, everything is screwed in properly, etc.

Alright, following this I was able to make it "grab" the bobbin thread when manually moving it- the problem is, it isn't actually doing it when I'm feeding it fabric. Before I start, it should look like this, no? I've gotten it to work a few times, but it seems that was mainly luck.

[Anonymous No.6952082]

>>6952078
Yes, it should have the bobbin thread coming out of the sewing plate. Then, what you'll want to do, is HOLD both threads as you feed your fabric through, for the first couple of stitches, since the bobbin will be spinning, which will pull the bottom thread down if you're not holding it.

[Anonymous No.6952084]

That sucks, the best of luck to you then.

It absorbs moisture coming in to the makeup (humidity, etc) and from any sweat working though the snazz. The powder absorbs and the hairspray keeps the powder in place, so even if you'be sweated or picked up a damp water bottle or something nothing is going to smear your loose makeup.

Or get some white stretch fabric and make appliqué stripes

You have to go over it by hand, it's sadly the best solution to get the cleanest lines.

Next time make sure you always stroke your brush inwards from your stencil/tape/whatever. That's probably what caused the problem.

I wonder if FemJohn cosplayers (and artists who draw her too I guess) realise that her godtier pajamas will literally be the same things that John wears since it's one of the unisex classes.......
I can see tweaking, say the Witch class or the Sylph class or something because skirts, or wearing a closer-fitting tshirt but pants are unisex.
Bit of a nitpicky thing on my end, but it's a pet peeve.

[Anonymous No.6953391]

A few questions; What are good fabrics for the dreamers? I always see flannel but I don't know if I dig that personally.

Also what fabric for Eridan's cape? How should I go about his rings?

[Anonymous No.6953493]

>>6953391
for cape i used a poly-cotton blend because its nice and stretchy and light but isnt entirely translucent.
for rings, you can probably go on a hunt at your nearest mall/hobby lobby. a good portion of mine either came from forever 21 or just plain gold bands i bought at Hobby Lobby, and i attatched purple jewels to some of them.

[Anonymous No.6953497]

>>6953493
forgot to mention pic was unrelated.
(and by not entirely translucent, i mean its pretty opaque up until you hold it right up to your face, then you can slightly see through it.)

This is real messy, yeah, but you have to admit she's improved a lot and the fact that she hasn't discouraged or quit cosplaying is pretty admirable.

[Anonymous No.6954472]

>>6954439
Yeah but the fact that she refuses to start at a beginner level and throws a fit at all polite advice really isn't.

She's clearly continuing to make the "fancy" outfits for the attention it brings. Really not seeing the improvement either unless you mean the lack of puff paint.

[Anonymous No.6954488]

>>6954472
agreed. it's an absolute mess that has so many adornments that it's just too busy to see them as clearly
the scorpio symbol was freehanded in glitter paint
there's cheap ass lace
the trim was clearly just tacked down with no regard to whether or not it looked good
there's a fucking blouse holding it together
and her horns look like reject oversized candy corn

that is pretty limited improvement

[Anonymous No.6955194]

>>6955180
She made a post earlier that she's since deleted that basically said don't schedule a homestuck panel right after another homestuck panel because the audience will leave the first homestuck panel early go to to the second one (which I believe because Metrocon forms huge lines for the Homestuck panels, or at least I passed by one last year), which was mainly in reference to the fact that there's someone who scheduled some shitty looking murder mystery panel right after hers and I think someone else scheduled one right after cancerouslys panel and last I checked there were literally two at the same time on Sunday. After that idk what happened, I think the first panelist got upset about it and someone managed to get into seerofsarcasm's twitter and screencap her bitching about it but nobody can actually find the post.

[Anonymous No.6955195]

>>6955185

Can you even CONTROL when your panel is for a con? I've never had that choice.

[Anonymous No.6955198]

>>6955195
Metrocon uses myconsonline which, once your panel gets approved, basically gives you a google-doc like system to choose your day, time and room. It's a fantastic system really, all the panelists choose their own times, and can see all the other panels that already did.

Scrolled down and saw that this is too late for you, but for additional future reference: Get a paper towel tube (if you have a skinny arm) or an oatmeal carton and use it to stuff the armsock while you're painting it. Voila, utilising both arms to paint and at all sorts of angles.

Part of me wants to do antler-esque textures on my horns (not that 'pin prick' bull shit, I can get a legit deer antler and tell you that shit ain't right), but part of me is nervous that I'll get bullshit about how my 'horns aren't smooth enough' or some shit.

[Anonymous No.6955912]

I'm not partial to textured horns myself, though I feel like if you really want to put the effort into making it look right go for it.
I'm just not sure which troll would have deer antlers.

[Anonymous No.6955932]

>>6955912
It's not necessarily deer antlers... I'm more so saying that I can actually have access to horns to know what kind of growth textures they developed. I've never actually seen a horn with tiny pinprick holes, for example... It's mostly that towards the base you get little bumps and waves sort of thing.

[Anonymous No.6955948]

>>6955932
Ah, okay.

Well, it sounds like a neat idea. I guess it's just one of those things that not everyone is gonna enjoy the same as you do, but if you want to try to accurately portray the structure of it, go for it.

I think that no matter what you do, someone will have some complaint about the construction of the horns. It just seems to be one of those things no one can agree 100% on.
