/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

[Gropey_the_clown !g3AO.hFIes No.7207352]

Hey hey folks!

I just realized I had some soon-to expire customer points with one of the suppliers I buy from, and ended up getting a bunch of stuff to use as Christmas gifts. I also ended up with some extra stuff that I don't need, but know others might.

That is were you come in!

After a most successful contest/giveaway on /tg/, I have decided to give back to /cgl/ for all the cool people I have met through it, and everyone who I was able to help with my babbling and advice. I have a couple of small but useful prizes to give away, and three ways to win!

(con't)

(PS, if someone can make a better thread title pic, please do. Everything I try to MSpaint comes out terrifying)

The third prize and contest is a doozy. I know that several of you have gotten into performing or charity work through my threads. This is awesome, and I want you to show off. Pictures, articles and videos of the anon's volunteering as clowns at hospitals or performing any circus or clown act that they have gotten into will win the official Gropey Grab-box of wonder.

Whats in the GGB? What isn't?! Makeup, props, gags, meatcleavers, sealed jars of pickled specimens, candy..... Whatever I think is awesome at the time. Safe to say, it will be sweet.

Fat clown, please, keep on your fat tripname.

And even when it comes to cosplaying clowns, I doubt fatty here could tell you how to get makeup anywhere near as stellar as Harley's Joker (who is an actual cosplayer).

Though I recently, a bit over a year ago, changed my face. After the train hopping thing I changed from an auguste tramp to a whiteface of sorts.

>How do you not lose your spaghetti in front of all those laughing people?
>I can get in front of people, but the moment a chuckle is heard, I'm suddenly mouse quiet.

Excellent question. Getting into the performer headspace is something that takes practice and some deep psychological self evaluation. The key can be summed up as such: They follow your presentation. If they are following you, that makes you the leader, and you can take them wherever you want.

The audience has no idea what you're going to do or say. They have no idea what is going to happen, and ideally, they will never know what is scripted and what is an accident. Its the illusion of professionalism. If you can pretend that everything is going well, then it IS going well.

For example: I did my glass walking act, which is on a triple-layer canvass drop cloth, so I can just fold it and move it off stage. Act went great, wild applause, and it was time for one of the burlesque dancers to go back on. Her act for this portion was a comedy striptease to a song about a drunk, clumsy french hooker. 2/4 of the act in, she stomps barefoot down onto a piece of broken glass that must have gotten caught in the upturned cuff of my pants. It was bad, and she was bleeding.

But the audience didn't know it wasn't part of the act. As she was sitting in the stage chair, she made big, exaggerated movements out of rocking back and fourth in pain to the music, picking out the glass, and using her stocking to bind her foot. She made a big show of having a "lame" foot, and the audience died laughing.

She ended up needing stitches, but the audience never knew, because she pretended to know what she was doing.

After every layer. Its like flattening a layer in photoshop.

I haven't met one who I would pick a fight with. I'm sure you heard about the girls from /cgl/ who tried to take my props, and one of the dancers chased the girls two block, bare foot down a street in downtown Richmond with a stiletto heel in one hand, and mace in the other.

I haven't heard about it. This is my first _hour_ on /cgl/ - I didn't even know it existed until... like, yesterday.

...Why?
I don't... am I missing something? Are the props highly valuable or something? I must profess my ignorance on the subject.

I had really hoped that was 'a mace'. The mental image was only that much funnier.
I think the stiletto would be more dangerous, though.

Anyways, back on-topic kind of. Gropey, you've probably been asked this before, but I have two questions - firstly, why'd you pick the name Gropey, and second, what event(s) made you decide to become a clown? I don't know a whole lot about clowns (Clowning?) really. I'd love to have some general info, it's not often I get to talk to one.

Gropey is not my main clowning name, but one I use rarely from the "Gropey and Grundlestank cacophonous clown cavalcade" I used to do. Long story short: 4th generation clown/ 3rd gen sideshow stunt performer from a circus family. Ringling Bros. Clown college graduate with a thesis in clown theory.

Long story short: How the humor is presented. This is apparent the aspects of internalized humor and externalized humor.

Comedians make you laugh at situational and anecdotal humor. It is about what happens to other people.

Clowns make you laugh at reactional and representational humor. It makes you laugh at absurity and representation of the human condition.

As other already answered the college comment, to answer your John Wayne Gacy comment, we actually studied him as he studied clown theory, and purposefully did everything you're NOT supposed to do, on purpose.

Pogo the clown broke every rule about dimensions and angles, and purposefully made as subtly sinister a face as he could. He made sure to always have his posture at a slanted angle (either looming over, or leaning back at the shoulders) which creates to illusion of even greater size. He presented his arms and shoulders off to right angled sides of the subject, which makes one feel overly enclosed etc etc.

He had being a bad clown down to a science.

I'm >>7211593 and this is my entry. I did flowers around my eyes because I thought it would be something that little kids would like and it's pretty feminine. I added the eye brows for expression, it took a bit to find where to place them to actually move how I wanted them to. I used white on my cheeks like a fake blush sort of things and I though the blod red lips were kind of too sexy for some reason so I kind of just yeah. Doing the gradient on they eyes was suprisingly hard. I tried to stick to a pretty classic colour pallete seeming the rest of it wan't very clown like. My camera isn't amazing but it did the job. I included differnt facial expressions because I thought that would be a cool thing to include. it's not amazing but for a first try i don't think it's terrible.

You will never get it perfect, because that image takes no account for depth, pitch and actual facial shape. I am unfamilliar with the character, but it looks like a mask, so your best bet would be a mask, or to try with good quality grease crayons.

Most people under the age of 25 wouldn't know a real clown if they got headbutted by one. Big top circuses come and go, and sadly, its in a waning phase. Thankfully vaudeville, cabaret and alt art scenes keep it alive.

>>7219226
Its like mimes. Everyone says "I hate mimes", but have you ever actually seen a professional? Not "busking in the park" but a real, honest to god, professional mime? A good mime is astounding to watch.

(And before anyone asks, yes, pantomime is a clown skill, and mimes are a kind of clown)

Hey Gropey,

I skimmed over the tripfag tantrums, so I'm sorry if you've addressed this already: I'm interested in your contest, but I was just wondering if there's a general standard for what constitutes a 'clown face.' Like, for example, must your face have a white foundation to qualify? Or is there such thing as making a general clown aesthetic with your normal skin tone?

Asking because I'm really interested in clowning around, but I don't own any 'traditional' makeup.

I'd suggest looking up the different types of clowns. Whiteface isn't the only clown out there! There's also auguste and tramp, both of which do not have white foundation

Happy clowning!

[Gropey_the_clown !g3AO.hFIes No.7234985]

Hey hey folks! Three shows, with the last piddly one being so-so, but I live!

>>7233964
Huh... You know, I never really thought of it. I have had my nose for almost a decade now, and it was selected for me by a veteran clown, based on both my painted and unpainted face.

It sounds silly, but yes, there are clown boutiques, and most high class professional prop and costume stores have cases and racks specifically for pro clowns. You can try on various shapes, sizes and styles.

You know that scene where Harry is picking a wand? Its kind of like that.

>>7233971
U havn a giggle m8?

>>7234007
The anon in >>7234850 is 100% correct. And don't forget, Kabuki, mime, comedia del arte etc and any form of clowning tradition is welcome!

Off topic, when a friend of mine passed from cancer (also a clown), he requested the the Krusty rendition of send in the clowns be played at the wake. It was hilariously sad.

Hope you're doing okay Gropey, gonna dump a question here and maybe a seagull can answer it since you're occupied right now-

I recently found out that Mehron hair white existed and am wondering if that (or similar product) with eyeshadow over it would work well for covering and recoloring eyebrows to match a wig? All other methods except wax don't work on me and the wax is such a pain to do.

[Anonymous No.7243337]

>>7242671
Who are you cosplaying?

[Anonymous No.7243675]

>>7243337
Not for a specific cosplay, just more of a general when I need to match my brows to my wigs. Acrylic paint looks too fake and just gluestick+foundation+powder doesn't cover my brows enough. They're very course and dark. And like I said, the brow wax works but is a pain to do when the rest of my makeup is very simple, this seems like it could be a quicker and easier alternative if it can be used to cover very black brows to recolor them.
