And it was gotten rid of because people trolled or yelled at everyone saying we don't self post here

[Anonymous No.7180075]

>>7179935
We do self post here, quite a lot. I've never seen a thread with an OP like this be successful though. You're the one looking new.
At the moment the only self-post thread going on is the JoJo pose one but it is a self post thread and people are in fact posting themselves.

there are famous cosplayers here hence why this thread is full of douche and noone posts properly according to OP

[Anonymous No.7180103]

>>7180078

Anon is right.

We are all too bitchy for self post threads and turn them into insult threads.
So generally we don't do them since nobody but fucking attention whores bother to post their pics.

I partake in the "intense critiquing", which is why it is something I've noticed.

[Self-post thread No.7180122]

>>7180103
I see, mainly I just wanted a critique , advice thread since I was curious about what seagulls think of my first cosplay armor but okay.
Guess it is a failboat now sorry

[Anonymous No.7180225]

so... no selfpost? I mean, what's the problem? Aren't we supposed to help eachother? how can we do that if no one posts theyr cosplay? Let the trolls be, mature people can selfpost and not be a attwhore/ deal with critics...

[Anonymous No.7180232]

>>7180225
The people in this thread saying we don't do it are either new or must have gotten critiqued in a way they couldn't deal with before and have something against self post threads. I've never seen any issues with them drama wise and them seem to keep civil.

[Anonymous No.7180433]

>>7180232

maybe we should resurrect the help thread then? That's always a safe place to self post if you're looking for critique.

[Anonymous No.7180455]

We've had many self post threads in the past that have gone well. I don't know why people are getting butthurt over this one thread.

[Ukraine !!Gl2boRyrnRH No.7180456]

We do threads like this fairly often. Most of the time they tend to be critique threads or just showing off what people on the board have done recently...there's really nothing wrong with that. OP if you want to post your armor feel free to.

I can start us off. I haven't made anything new since Otakon but I'm working on stuff now finally. Last cosplay I made was Cook!

Not really, I can't really help what other people might say or anything. Most people didn't know who/what I was cosplaying so no ones really said anything.

[Anonymous No.7180530]

>>7180512

Looks pretty decent, but I think you should have gone for tackier/flashier materials. Takuto's ginga bishonen outfit was modeled after Japanese boyband costumes from the 80s and they all tend to have that kind of look to them. The character designer claims to have cribbed it mostly off this outfit, for example.

[Anonymous No.7180536]

>>7180530
Thanks. I get what you're saying about the super flashy fabrics, and how sparkly the outfit appears to be in the anime. I made a conscious decision to avoid the super tacky materials though as most Takuto cosplays I've seen that use them, end up looking pretty awful. I wanted something a little more clean looking for mine.

[Anonymous No.7180538]

>>7180536

Yeah, I get that. I think the problem is that most people with the tackier stuff tend to have just incidentally tacky costumes (cheap materials mostly imo) as opposed to a more calculated tackiness.

At any rate, I think you did a pretty good job with the fit and whatnot. Though if you do revisit it, I'd at least take another look at the proportions of the boots (though maybe they're just sagging a bit in that picture, I can't really tell).

I don't see anything wrong with it, a lot of girls cosplay from DMMd. Just cause it's porn doesn't mean they got off on watching/playing it.

Speaking of getting off on things, self post of my Hisoka cosplay, this edit seems appropriate.

Also, I am in absolute awe over your wig. it looks amazing and I am incredibly jealous of how well done the hairline is.

You need some spoopy makeup. Either you need to look more elven or you need to look undead.

[Anonymous No.7181556]

So, seems like you guys can help me here.
I made this costume 1,5 years ago, I lost some weight and I wanted to make this costume again, this time better, for a presentation.
I need critics and help improving it, things you liked in this one and that I could use again on my new one.
I wasn't really good sewing at the time, but I think now that I have more exp I can do it right!

Cosplayed jak a couple of weeks ago. I don't usually get a lot of things done myself, so I was pretty happy with it.

Thank you, I really enjoy doing wigs but getting this one to defy gravity in the correct ways and stay there was a pain and a half (thank god for glue). Aside from a bit of make up to get things looking right once it was on, I didn't modify the wigs hairline from when it arrived in the mail from Arda.

He wears them in heavens arena. He doesn't actually wear then during Yorkshin but being short on both money and time before the con I went with low ones in a similar style as the flat ones he wears with that outfit. I'll modify some flats before I get a proper shoot done for the costume.

I bought a costume hat and modified it. I think its out of this felty...stiff material, so I could take off the really bad trim that was on it and cut it down. The trim I added is just glued on. I searched ebay for "Napoleon Hat"

Your armour looks too clean, and too flat - I think you should experiment with thick foam. You can layer it in a similar way to what you've used there, but it'll give you more depth.

[Katsumiyo !pGNZlskXEI No.7182928]

>>7180456
I still love how totally coordinated this outfit is. Everything is so put-together and that's a quality you don't see often enough in cosplay.
>>7180512
That looks really well-tailored.
>>7180920
I agree thus-far that the armor is pretty and well-constructed, but not weathered enough. You could also neaten up the bottom of your wig so it's not so blunt-cut and choppy.
>>7181100
Take my money and do all my wig styling forever.
>>7181556
I don't have a reference, so I don't know how the costume is supposed to look. But the material you used looks kind of...cheap? Use something thicker that drapes nicer when you remake it.
>>7181584
This costume still makes me so happy.
>>7181632
That wig is too cute! Did you curl it yourself?
>>7182405
I love that you did an alternate version of a very popular character. The fabric is such gorgeous colors.

I know all I ever post is the red mage, but I don't have any new photos of anything else. Hopefully I can finish two new things on time for ALA so I can stop reposting this one and blinding everybody with my redness.

[Anonymous No.7183971]

so if i'm a fat cosplayer and post a picture of myself hoping for critiques on my cosplay, i'm only going to get told to leave and that i only look horrible because of my weight, correct?

[Anonymous No.7184111]

>>7183971
You may get some dickhead comments, but so long as your cosplay is well constructed, and appropriate for your body type, then you will get some decent feedback. Of course, that goes for everyone, regardless of weight. If your costume is shit, and doesn't fit you, you will be crapped all over.

[voldie !YXLuNAGINI No.7184411]

would post chibiusa but it was poorly made and i dont have any full body shots

[Anonymous No.7184441]

I know it's a really simple and overdone design, but I needed to do something really simple. I have made quite a few crap costumes due to lack of skill and/or research and I'd like to not do that anymore if I can help it. Even though this is the most basic costume I have, I feel the best about it out of any other one I've done because I finally have confidence in my construction.

My goal is to move up to more difficult things after I step up my quality a bit more.

Do you can a clearer picture maybe? Its hard to see any issues, but it looks like your side seams are puckering/could be finished better, but it might just be the odd picture

This brought me more joy than it should have
>>7181684
the skirts could use some starch & ironing
>>7182405
beautiful work on the body suit & Piccadilly, the glitter on the fabric looks a bit odd, maybe go back & even out the distribution so it looks more uniform?
>>7182825
Not bad for a newbie, add some buttons to the side of the shorts, & what did you use for the flag effect on the shoulders? It looks like duct tape, kinda cheapens it a bit.

The photoshop on your face needs weork.
Also, your armpit looks like it has a sharp bone jutting into it, you should look into getting that fixed.
The boobshop isn't working for me, either.
The photoshop on the arm on the left side of the picture is super distracting.

Just a quick photoshop of everything that's bugging me about this.

[tenleid !R6n4uEROGE No.7186165]

>>7186152
99.5% of what you circled wasn't edited at all? its actually originally a blurry, low light picture which is why things probably look so weird
>legs
my shoes are really heavy 6 foot heels, the way i had my feet tucked in are whats causing the dip in the blanket on each side

>face
i thought it was common knowledge i have an almost buttchin so i dont know what you circled there, same with the hair/shadow by my eye??

>arms
the weird bone youre seeing is just really awkward lighting (bright ass light coming from the lamp and a window at a different angle)

the only editing i did on this was took out my lip piercing, and someone else did the boobs for me because the angle sucked and im not very good at editing? you took all this time to point out """obviously photoshopped""" parts and didn't noticed the bad editing of the phone in the background? (which is a testament of my photoshop skills)

>>7182928
Thanks! Yeah I was really pleased with how vibrant the fabric was.

>>7184580
Ugh, yeah. If I wear this costume again I need to figure out how to keep the glitter on better. I was trailing glitter EVERYWHERE I went, and by the end of the day maybe 1/3rd of the glitter was still on my costume. I did it pretty rushed, but I couldn't find a good method of getting the glitter on. I ended up just mixing regular clear school glue and water and painting it all on. This is what it looked like before I put it on.
Also, you look fantastic! I love with the "simpler" cosplays get all of the little details down.

Here's my Black Knight cosplay from Monty Python. Used EVA foam first time for the helmet but I didn't have time to do the zweihänder so went with an basic sword. Also the crest in shirt is hand-painted (that bastard took a long time to paint)
