Probably lots of no-named Survey Corps members so they can get their casualty numbers up. A red shirt should be part of the uniform!

My guess for the first character that anybody cares about is Ymir. Wouldn't it be just like Isayama to kill off someone who would provide Eren (and thus also the audience) some answers before she has a good chance to tell him anything?

That seems plausible. There was a shitstorm yesterday because fake spoilers leaked about Levi being killed in a coup sparked by the recent shitty track record of the SL. It seems too early for his death, though.

[Anonymous No.7177495]

>>7177060
Shit, I missed those.
If we're talking 'people who give us answers,' I think maybe it'd be Pastor Nick.
Then again, he was foreshadowed as important so long ago that I don't think he'd die off so quick.
I think maybe since it's the turning point of the series, we might actually get some goddamn answers. And then more questions.

Even if you pulled those sleeves down they would not reach the wrist, maybe they would go past the cuff of their shirt. Maybe.
I just noticed this is supposed to be an "in the rain" or whatever picture (I thought it was supposed to be as if they fell in a puddle at first. Oops. Wig is now excusable.)

I ordered some white pants last week and was waiting to see how they fit and looked on my thighs o' plenty before I committed to some SnK cosplay.

They arrived today and they fit pretty well. I think I'll take in the waist to make sure they are snug and then I'll start on the harness.

Looks like a school event. Maybe a school festival, or a track day - If you think SnK is big here, it's fuckhuge in Japan; It's not surprising that a school club would all shell out the 3000 yen or so for scout capes from Akiba.

Okay, question, I am interested to know your opinions on the SNK uniform jacket material. P/leather, denim/"uniform material", or other? What do you think looks the best with cosplayers, what do you think is most accurate to how it looks in the anime/manga, what do you think would make the most sense, and what do you think is most historically accurate? (The last one probably matters the least, considering it's the 800s and they already have flying devices.)

>>7182607
I would genuinely stay away from leather or leather-like material. Think of the environment. Space is limited, meat is a delicacy because its hard to raise animals like cows. So leather would be a limited resource too. The military uniforms would need to be made fast, in quantities and be fairly disposable considering how many of them die day to day.

[Anonymous No.7182684]

>>7182607

I think a thick, sturdy fabric makes the most sense. Easier and cheaper to produce in amounts the military likely goes through, with wear and tear, lost equipment, deaths, etc. You don't want to be pouring leather into uniforms when the people wearing them are likely as not to get eaten, especially since there's a pretty massive investment to GET the leather in the first place. Furthermore, leather isn't as recyclable as fiber fabric, which can be repurposed. Leather ALSO requires a shitload of maintenance, or you start looking like a hobo.

Leather for boots and 3DMG harnesses, textiles for everything else.

Leather and fake leather jackets kill me a bit inside. I don't know why they're so common.

It doesn't make sense for them to be leather for reasons already outlined, they don't look like leather, and when cosplayers use fake leather they end up looking really cheap and sit weirdly like 99% of the time because they're too shiny and stiff.

Something I can put on and be comfortable in while the con winds down. It's so common now that it would never warrent being a Saturday costume for me. Saturday is for special work intensive cosplay.

I agree with this except for the boots. The "sash/skirt/etc" thing and the boots should both be made from roughly the same fabric. And from all that was already said by anons, I don't think leather would've been used for any of the uniforms on any part except for the harnesses. Try maybe, microsuede or something? I think that'd look nice.

Not worried about that. I've dyed a few things in my time. I'm good enough at it.

I just worry that the gray will look dingy/dirty IRL or next to other SnK cosplayers who do white pants.

[Anonymous No.7199086]

So I was at a con the other day and saw someone wearing a leather visual kei looking outfit with the Survey Corps logo on it. My best guess was they were cosplaying Levi, but is there anything in the fandom (like a fanart) where someone might get that idea or were they just making up a cosplay? It was an awesome vk/military outfit, but I was a bit confused as to why it had to be Shingeki, too. Sorry, didn't get a chance to snap a pic.

And I'm interested in the fabric discussion. After seeing the opinions on the thread, I do think I'll make the jacket out of twill. I agree that leather or animal based fabrics would be too precious for use soldiers, given the death rate.

For the Survey Corps cloak, I've considered twill, homespun cotton (for a rougher look), linen (but it wrinkles so easily!), wool gabardine, and raw silk (because I like the texture, though that might be too "expensive" in terms of logistics for a soldier). I'm not opposed to dyeing fabric to get the color I want, but what would y'all suggest for the cloak? I'd like something with a good drape, but can't decide if I would want to have matching fabrics with the jacket (twill) or go for a different look. The cloaks are just part of the uniform right, they're not for warmth are they?

[crankytits No.7199111]

>>7199086
Cloak Talk!
I ended up going with a double knit fabric thanks to its nice heft and how matte it is. Drapes like a dream, and doesn't look too similar to the twill that my jacket is made out of (i see you share my concerns). I had also considered microseude. Go with a bottomweight wool is you can afford it, though!

[Anonymous No.7199139]

I think the jackets are cotton/twill/khaki since the would already be using a lot of leather for their boots. Also leather jackets are meant for keeping warm by keeping body heat in. They already have cloaks for that and leather would just have them overheat, especially in combat.

[Anonymous No.7199142]

>>7199111

I really wanted microseude for the jacket itself but honestly can't justify the look with the logistical accuracy of it. After looking at the gabardine wool, I'm really considering it. Though, would the diagonal lines and texture of the gabardine be too close to twill? Or will the textures come through as different enough. I don't want to break the bank on my uniform, but I am willing to sink in the cash to make it look nice. Though, I'm planning to use real leather for the straps and such, so where I can economize elsewhere, that would be nice.

This may sound dumb, but when you sewed your cloak, did you just use a circle skirt and attach a hood, or did you use a cloak pattern? I've considered using a pattern and adapting it to be "double breasted" so it doesn't just attach/part in the middle and comes over on each side, but I'm curious about how people are fashioning them.

>>7199142
I would do everything in my power to talk you out of making your jacket from microsuede, but sounds like you've already done that yourself. Gadardine WOULD be similar to your twill, and might be too thin. Your results/opinions may very, though, so compare swatches, give it a crush test, and see what you think. In the end a wool blend might be better for your purposes. Hit the stores, keep an open mind, look for your color and your weight, and you might be surprised.

Not a dumb question at all! Personally I was working with/around a large irregularly cut remnant, so instead of using a circle skirt pattern my cloak is made of four gores and a square hood. You can see the back seam leading up to my patch. Check SCA websites and see if anyone has caplet patterns if you need a jumping off point (but you sound like you know what you're doing).

No, I haven't actually. I was considering it, but nothing has actually been sewn and definitely after consider the world of AoT, I know that animal products for jackets is entirely implausible and unrealistic. This is all just planning.

Thanks for the advice on the pattern. I'm an intermediate sewer but not afraid to play around with fabric and drafting my own pattern, but I'll definitely look into SCA and other resources. Would you recommend the square hood? I may go for more of a 3/4 or 1/2 circle skirt instead of a full circle so it's not SO voluminous.

I feel like you're missing a lot of the point of Bert's character, though. He didn't get attached like Reiner and Annie did, but he's still human: he felt sorry for what he did to Eren, when Jean and Connie and the others reminded him of the fun they had he cried and said it wasn't all fake, and he's shown that he at least cares tremendously about Reiner and Annie.
He was the best at staying detached, and as a result still cared far more for his comrade Annie than he did for the others, but I don't think he's unsympathetic or an asshole.
He just... Remembered what he was supposed to be doing more than the other two did.

I'm the anon from the second post and I am aware of all that. I was just commenting on how many people make Bert this moe blob of a character which is not Bert at all. He is adorable to me personally too but lets face it, the boy has a whole lot of issues.
He was indeed the best at getting detached and after all he IS human and DID feel sorry for what he did but did you see how fast tables turned when Armin pulled his strings? He threatened to kill them all right there and then, didn't he. Honestly, I'm not sure that it just proves that he cares for Annie. For me personally, it showed that all his pleads and tears and words of regret just moments before weren't THAT true, as it seemed that deep there, he always knew he couldn't trust the others. He's a monster in their eyes and they'd give him monster treatment, as Armin describes the tortures Annie is supposedly going through (which aren't true because she's sealed in the crystal and Armin's just manipulating Bert but he doesn't know that).
Maybe I'm seeing too much into it but I think there was a big part of Bert that feared being submitted to those tortures too (coward like he said himself), rather than just caring for Annie.
I'm probably not even explaining myself well because my english is shit but there are just so many issues with Bertholdt that I sometimes mess my train of thought trying to explain, sorry about that

While I agree with the part about him not being a moeblob, I disagree with the rest.
The reason Armin did it was because he knows he'd freak out about Annie being harmed. He's been implied multiple times (not just by delusional Reiner) to have a crush on her, and before Armin even opened his mouth, he came up with his idea remembering how often Bert looked over at her and clearly seemed to like her.
Being scared might be some of it, but he would have had no reason to lash out, seeing as he still had the upper-hand. The distraction about Annie is what made him lose Eren and made the battle go downhill for him.
It proved that his interest in her was more than just Reiner making shit up in his head-- he values her life over the lives of his other friends, who he still managed to view as the enemy when told they were torturing a comrade. He clearly cared about them before, but it was more of the reminder that they're the enemy that made him threaten to 'KILL ALL OF YOU!'

[Anonymous No.7201440]

>>7201415
I honestly never really saw why he'd like Annie, I either need to re-read the whole thing or I really don't know. They hardly interacted at all and the one time they did, she cut him off and made a point that she had nothing to do with him. I actually always thought Bert didn't quite trust Annie and neither does she (but well, it's Annie).
She's always keeps away and parted ways with them by leaving for the Military Police even if the plan changed when Reiner decided for the Scouting Legion. Bert's look there seemed more like an "why are you leaving and we're not sticking together, what will be of the plan".
He also did look pretty damn disappointed/beat down when Reiner accused him of "always staring".
Idk, Annie was always the outsider and she feels like sort of a "replacement" of Berik since he was part of the original trio. I suppose that's just speculation though, only more chapters will tell

YESSSS THISSSS

Bert is one of my favorites and it annoys the living Christ out of me when people make him all a kawaii desu.

They do the same thing with Armin. I remember everyone was losing their shit on tumblr when Armin manipulated Bert like he did. Half of them were surprised and talking about Armin 'snapping and going crazy' and the other half felt like the creator made Armin act out of character and were buttmad. When in reality, it's just that he's not the moe He-Man they depict him to be in fan works.He's a goddamn tactician. Manipulating the enemy and playing headgames are sort of his bread and butter.

Pretty sure Bertbert isn't into Annie. I mean seriously, our only witness to that is a crazy man. It's not like we can consider Reiner a reliable witness.

I think Bert reacted that badly to what Armin said about Annie because... Reiner liked humans, Annie liked humans, but Bert never trusted them. He felt alienated by Reiner and Annie betraying their cause in order to befriend humans. So when Armin says they're torturing Annie, the one who went out of her way to be pals with Eren and spare Armin, Bert goes berserk not out of any sense of affection for Annie but out of... it confirms everything Bertolt has thought of humanity, that they will never forgive shifters, even if you thought you were one of them like Annie did or even if you tried to help them, like Reiner did. So yeah, Bert thinks his keeping a distance from humanity is finally justified in the worst way possible and lashes out.

At least that's my messy take on it.

I think both of you are wrong. I thought the same before Armin's 'she's being tortured' claim. Not to mention, the fact Bert blushed when Reiner scolded him and the fact Reiner was already back to his normal self when talking about it seems to make it solid.
But anyway, onto Armin. I'd say it was just because he didn't trust humans. But he clearly thought of the same instance that Reiner did that made Reiner think he had a crush on Annie. If it weren't for the fact he was thinking about that, maybe 'oh it was just because there was no other way around it' would work. Then again, he was clearly crying and sobbing when all the others were harassing him about lying all those years. I don't think that was an act.
td;lr: Bert's not a moeblob, but he's not an asshole who lacks human feelings for his comrades, whether they're shifters or not.

They might have the same roots, but they are arguably two different ethnic/cultural backgrounds. The name 'Ymir' is actually from Norse mythology. Nordic legends say that he was basically a primeval being/giant that the Gods fashioned the earth from his flesh. That being said, Ymir herself is definitely not Nordic-looking in the least. I'm curious if there will be any ties to her namesake in the SNK storyline.

Also, I'm not sure where you're getting that Eren has darker skin from. He's a bit more olive-toned, but I wouldn't say that he's significantly darker than most of the other cast members or anything. Could be the abundance of excessively pale cast members that make it seem that way. I personally think Bertholdt looks darker than Eren is. He could still have Turkish heritage, though. A girl in one of my classes was from Turkey and had very similar coloring to him.

It seems reasonable since lots of characters have first and last names from two separate nationalities. (Marco for example is Italian/Spanish in origin and Bodt appears to be Germanic. Jean is a French name, but his name also sounds like it might be from a German-speaking group.)

Some make up to help you have the character's features is ok.
The heavy contouring looks way too fake to be part of an otherwise real looking costume.

I don't know what's causing it either. I mean Japanese faces are known to do it so they look more western for characters that are clearly not asian. That makes some sense cause they have a lot of features to change up (little nose for big nose, single eyelid to double, soft eyebrows to prominent ones, round chin to defined chin) but if you are already western looking chill on the make up.

I do somewhat agree with this. A lot of these types of cosplayers go a little overboard on the make-up, especially when it comes to Levi.

He even smiles a little more in the manga than the anime. So really, it's just like how everyone thinks Hange's a crazy freak that giggles and doesn't take battle seriously, or that Armin is a moeblob that smiles all the time. It's the anime fucking up their personalities.

Or maybe you're just mixing up 'not easily fazed' with 'not expressive.' I think it's more that he's seen so much shit, he tends to have a fairly neutral face. But he IS expressive. Maybe next to Eren and Hange it doesn't seem like much, but you can't just say he's not facially expressive. Actually, I'd say he's more facially expressive than in tone or body language. His body language hardly changes other than to clench his fists occasionally, and his tone is nearly always informal and sarcastic.

I'm even more in favor of that. I just didn't want "surprizingly old" to end up being 19.
You know how anime is. They think the wise sage character is 24.

Different person, but I've always thought of Levi's expression as, "I've seen some things." Quietly trying to hide the fact that he still isn't used to how horrifying the world really is?
I haven't been paying much attention though.

I do think the same. Also he is the only character who shows compassion and worry for others withouth losing his temper or going crazy.
I do think he is kind of a veiled male tsundere character. Cold outside but oh so warm inside.

This mikasa figure is going to be released next year its on amiami so its official i guess. So is it canon that the uniform jacket is leather?

Also Reika is making her US debut at anime matsuri 2014. lol she's going to "represent the japanese cosplay community" The website is using her overly shooped levi cosplay photos. So im pretty sure that's what she's gonna wear. All i really want to see is how good (or horrible) her makeup will look in person. looks like im going next year!

Her acting is terrible, granted I've only seen 4 movies(plus the twilight saga) of hers, I can think of one where I thought she suited the character she was cast as or did a good job with.
Though maybe she was fine for the bitchy sister in Zathura or w.e

It makes zero sense for the jackets to be leather.

Finally put most of this together. It's got two fans on the side that run on batteries. Yeah it's not 100% accurate but whatever, artistic liberties etc. etc. Still have to add some bolts on the top, the exhaust port, some touch ups, and the mounting part for my belt and it should be done.

I wouldn't mind wearing them out casually if they didn't have the fake boot part (it would've been nice with straps/white pants all the way down + wearing your own boots instead). As they are, they look terrible.

[Anonymous No.7217698]

I usually don't come here, but a customer dressed as Mikasa came into my work today. Recognizable, but didn't really look out of place, aside from the big ass insignia of the scouting legion on the back of the jacket. She didn't have them straps and such though, of if she didn't I didn't really notice them.

Working retail on black Friday sucks, but she did make me smile. Well, maybe my smile turned into a shit eating grin and freaked her out, since she didn't seem too chatty. Or maybe she thought I was being sarcastic with the "I like your jacket" comment.

Reading it now. Interesting that the 3DMG goes back that far, at least in some form, but the art is really atrocious. Not that it's evolved into anything spectacular, but this is REALLY painful to look at.

To keep this on track, I scored the perfect fabric for my Survey Corps cloak locally on Black Friday. Snagged a dark green "woolen" blend. Any suggestions for the lining? I considered just lining it with the same fabric, but I wonder if that will make it too heavy?

That's what I was thinking, especially since I live in Texas (though I've resigned myself to always being hot at cons here). I got 3 yards of the wool, and it might be 60" wide, haven't checked yet. Think that's enough for just one, or could I get 2 cloaks out of that?

[Anonymous No.7223526]

>>7221875

Probably full circle but in order to not get too much volume, I was thinking of using a 1/2 circle skirt pattern. Maybe 3/4 circle. I just don't want it to look like I've got a skirt on my head and have too much of the ruffly drape a full circle skirt can give. But I really don't want a back seam, I feel like a seamed cloak isn't as refined and would be a bit flat.

I am 5'1", female, usually wear size 4/6 US depending.

Also, in terms of the Survey Corps symbol on the back, I've been thinking. I know on the general uniform, it's patches, and that makes sense because you'd need to be able to change out the symbols once you actually select which division you want to be in (unless you just get a new uniform, correct me if my theory is wrong here). But on the Survey Corps cloak, it would probably be printed/painted or embroidered on, right? I really dislike the idea of using a giant patch on the back, so I've been thinking of applique-ing it on. I don't feel like DIY screenprinting would give me the quality I'm looking for, but applique wouldn't be bad if done right and carefully (I have done this before with satin stitch on my machine, sewed the letters for my Iwatobi swim jacket on this way).

So I guess my other question in all of that is, when to use a patch and when not to, and if not using a patch, what technique?

Thanks for the advice thus far!

Has anyone here ordered a jacket from DenDen Style? Because I'm an idiot and had the cash to spare at the time, I bought one back in August and paid a shitload for shipping only for the jacket to never actually come. I asked for the tracking number a while back and they said they'd send it but I never got that either.

I understand things are tough in the Phillipines right now, but they deleted everything from their shop and though I sent them another message, I'm worried that I'm never going to get my money back. I was just curious to see if anyone else bought from them and actually received their jacket.

I know she has nothing to do with them, but try messaging Jin (aka behindinfinity) for updates on the store?
She has recommended them to others (as that's where her groups' jackets are from) so I'm guessing she's semi-close to the people behind the store. It could be worth a shot.
