Didn't see a help thread up and lord knows I need it.

I'm looking for a good dragon scale like fabric that isnt garbage. I can find plenty of snakeskin stuff, but its all vinyl and from what I hear, vinyl isnt breathable at all and I'll probably die.

So does anyone know a good, breathable scale-like fabric? I know I could make my own, but that would leave very little time for the rest.

I'm a fucking autist and I've had a can of resin sitting in a shady part of my room upopened for almost a year.

I've finally been able to crack it open for this project and I've never used resin before so I wasn't sure what to expect. But what i got was the resin was thick and lumpy like cottage cheese and jello mixed together.

To say the least, it was useable, but my results look terrible. More wondering as to why it came out like this? Was it just age?
I'm sanding forever but is there anything else I can do to make it better?

[Anonymous No.6999458]

>>6997423
You should ask some of the people who've made Toothless and other dragon suits what they used.

[Anonymous No.6999488]

>>6997545
I'd get a new can of resin. Over a period of time it'll turn into lumpy goop, and there's really nothing you can do about it.

The same thing happened to me. I mean, you could try sanding it down but it probably won't work.

What's the best way to sew a cut out into spandex? I need to do a lightning bolt which is so difficuult because of the corners. I have no idea how to keep them down and looking nice. I tried putting it on, drawing the design, then cutting it out and folding the edges with a tight zigzag but that did nothing, it stretched out of proportion, same with a straight stitch.

Pic semi related, it popping up on my news feed reminded me I need to redo this.

Is there any way to make breasts smaller but still shaped like breasts? As in: no sports bra, no binding?

I'm cosplaying Erio from Denpa Onna and while I AM going to lose weight for it (I'm a bit fat at 54kgs for 1,65m, planning on getting down to 51 or 50kgs) my breasts are still gonna be too fucking big for her. I'm a 30DD now. ;_;

All I can think is to bind it all then stuff a bra but it seems like so much work...

[Anonymous No.7000858]

>>7000850
Could you do open-shirt binding maybe? Where the binds go vertically so the boobs are still separate from eachother vs being a rectange lump. Just keep it looser than normally so they're not flat?

Hi seagulls, really could use some feedback here.
Doing a Homura crossplay, never done any cosplays prior to this. Just finished altering my store bought costume so it fits better, wig still needs a little bit more work though.

So, couple of questions:
1. Since I've never put any form of make-up on before, I'm absolutely clueless, what is very basic that I should go with?

2. Does my fit looks alright? (A-am I ita?)

3. Any crossplay tips perhaps?

The basics are "foundation", which is skin-coloured cream-like stuff (alternatively there are things like lipstick that are foundation too) that you use to even out your skin tone. You can use coloured eyeshadow (it's powder that you brush on) to change the appearance of your face shape, by making spots that look like shadows and so on. There are some tutorials for that on youtube but I forgot the name of the one I'm thinking of. I think you would have to experiment a bit for that.

But honestly, just foundation is probably fine for you. You should carefully check the contents of any makeup before you buy, since some will cause you to have acne or will dry out your skin (which causes problems like redness, skin flakes everywhere, and acne) due to weird shit being in them.

I don't know much myself, but I hope that helped a little. Makeup seems to be expensive so I'd stick to the minimum needed.

You don't have to make the second layer the whole size of the top layer, just make sure it's interfaced and then slip stitch it in place once you turn it inside out. It might take some trials since you're working with spandex and I'm not sure where the shape is laying.

Alright, I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I bought a kirugumi for a cosplay, but it's waaaaay too light. The seller said it was the color I needed it to be, and in the right design, but when I got it, the fur was a tanish color, and it wasn't in the right pattern. Is there anyway I can alter the color without fucking all of it up? Pic related.

The seller said that the product would look be just like the one from the show, and since I trusted her, I didn't ask for pictures. She has done costumes before, but mostly just for friends. I've known her for about a year or so, and once I gave her the money, she instantly stopped responding to me, and I haven't been able to contact her. She has a rule that if she's doing a commission, you pay in advanced because once she starts, she already cut in the fabric and doesn't want it going to waste or some shit. The actual Kirugumi in the picture was the one that I got. Supposedly everything she makes is made by her, but it's apparent that this was store bought.

[Anonymous No.7001684]

[Anonymous No.7001702]

>>7001696
Well, I've actually seen a lot of her custom work before, and it seemed pretty legit. For the most part, it would feature her in the pictures, and over a year or so, I began to trust her as we began talking as if friends. She'd tell me beforehand that her camera messed up a lot, so if I ever got a comish from her, she wouldn't be able to take pictures. I thought it was a bit fishy, but I went along with it anyways. After I payed, she took me off just about everything, and sent me this shit store bought Kigu. My question was though, if this Kigu can be made into the way I want.


>>7001684
Yeah, I guess that's the best thing to do I guess. Wanted to know if I could alter the one I got though to look more like how I wanted it though.

(asked in the last thread but got nothing) I'm working on a Kisame cosplay and while looking at others, I've seen people have gotten contacts but I can't tell if they look stupid or not. Are they really necessary? I'm trying to make mine look as nice as I can and I don't want to ruin it by adding or leaving out contacts. If I should get them, should I get the kind with a black outline or ones that are just all white?

[Anonymous No.7001756]

>>7001702
Let this be a lesson to you. As much as it may suck, this world is full of assholes who are really good at convincing people to give them money in exchange for bullshit. And its not just "commissioners" thatll get you, ive had some very close calls the other way around. I do armor/prop commissionsons the side to make a bit of extra cash since school keeps me too busy for an actual hourly job (plus i love doing it anyway). Anyway, a while ago i got contacted by some guy on facebook about how he wanted me to make a certain prop for him. So i checked out his page, everything seemed legit, and so i agreed to do it. I started working on it, but before i could finish some totally unexpected family stuff came up that i had to deal with, and i was unable to get in contact with the guy for several weeks to tell him there would be a bit of a delay on the project. Then i find out that this guys page has been totally changed (different pics, bios, contact info, etc.), and hes now talking to some orther commissioner and not responding to any form of contact from me. So i let the other guy know about him, and pretty soon the account was deactivated, not a trace of this guy left.
Its a long story i know, but you get the point. Always gotta be on your toes when you buy and sell stuff online, and not just in cosplay, it happens everywhere. Also sage for life lessons from a broke college student.

PayPal question here. I don't know if this is the right thread but you seagulls are online shopping experts so I figured I'd try.

I kind of really really want the Naja Jada pumps here : http://www.gobashoes.info/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=44_53&products_id=7281.. But they cost a lot of money on eBay (like, $69 + $49 shipping to Europe), and they're sold out everywhere else.

They're only $42.50 on this website, and shipping is free. But the website is only a month old, and I couldn't find any reviews (negative or positive).

As they only accept PayPal, I'd pay with it, and make a claim if I never receive them, or receive damaged goods or shitty replicas.

If you were me, would you try and get them from this website ? Are there any risks I didn't think about ?

Also, which size should I get ? I'm a 24.5 in Japanese sizing and 38.5 in European but I have no idea which American size I am.

Thanks a lot !

I'm concerned for the dress because I want that nice smooth look with minimal rippling if say I use some petticoat. Other pictures of the girl's cosplay confirms she includes a hoop into the bottom of the dress, so what sort of material would I use for the hoop part?

Best method would be clay sculpting it then molding and casting off that, but if youre a beginner thats going to be pretty tough, not to mention fairly expensive. Your best bet is probably to (and i cant believe im saying this) sacrifice a bit of accuracy and just browse some costume shops/ebay for a mask with a similar design and then paint over it.

Cool, but just make sure you study up on molding and casting as well if you go with option A. Also i cant stress this enough, if you do try molding, DO NOT SKIMP ON MATERIALS. cheap little molding and casting kits you find at craft stores will give you shitty results. Order through a legitimate supplier for that sprt of stuff. Oh, and dont order through smooth-on, those bastards jack up prices like youd never believe.

Arda sells a short lacefront for $55, but they take some working with due to the large cap size and huge amounts of poofy wefts in front.

Sandpaper and wet coffee grounds are my default weathering tools

Buy two zentai suits, remove the zippers and cut them into approx the shapes shown (obviously you'll need to make a better pattern because this is 5 minutes of paint)
then sew together and put the zipper back in.

I'm cosplay Cyborg Noodle and I'm having trouble picking out a wig..
Sometimes Noodles hair is purple, but in the video with the best reference for CyNoodle- her hair is more of a blue.
Of course it might just be the lighting and stuff but it's making me go crazy.

Can someone tell me if I'm right with thinking this dress needs an a-line petticoat? I'm sorry, I'm just really nervous and don't want to mess up with my first dress, ehehe.

I'd say go with a very blueish purple, but make sure it is on the darker side and a bit more ashy in color, I am no wig expert so I regretfully have no brands or wigs to cite in this instance.

I'm looking for patterns I can modify into these shirts. Any suggestions? I'm sort of a beginner so tutorials on adding high collars or parting the bottom like that would be great if not. Thanks.

yes a-line for that, for sure. It won't handle anything too puffy; if you're buying straight from Bodyline, pick up one of theirs for starters.

Planning the Crimson Typhoon design in this line-up. I'm waffling between using EVA foam or the pep and resin route.
I think the EVA route wouldn't be the best because of the texture, but I can't work the pepakura program on this computer and thus cannot make it.

Ideas?

Curious to know why can't you use pepakura on the computer? Don't have the required specs to run it?

Anyway, if the texture of EVA foam bothers you you could coat it in plastic and sand to make it smooth.

I'm looking for a long-sleeve cardigan that's thick/wide at the buttons, like this. Only it needs to be a V-neck and in light grey.

Also looking for a place that sells the typical anime V-neck sleeveless vest without buttons, available in many colours, for future reference. Currently browsing Taobao but it's slow going.

I'm thinking of doing the Division 2 uniform from Patlabor and I have some questions about it.

First of all, what's up with that blue jacket? I don't quite understand what it's supposed to be like, since it blends so seamlessly under the vest.

Also, what material would be good for the vest? A friend said enstex would work, but I don't like how it shines. I think the vest is supposed to be matte.

One last thing, anyone happen to have useful patterns for this?

I think that about covers it all, the sleeve badges I think I'll get from eBay.

It looks to me like it's in three parts actually. If you look at the woman, there's a bit of a gap between the sleeve and vest at the armhole, and there's also the white of the office shirt showing past the black sleeves. The vest also doesn't line up exactly with the armhole of the black shirt, if you look at the guy.

I wonder if the black is a sort of jumpsuit, with the white shirt underneath and the yellow vest overtop?

But I don't think anyone could fault you if you made it as a vest+black sleeves combo, like a jacket.

I'd rather keep then as 3 separate parts, I'm just confused about how to do it.
