So why does fuck is everyone making a cosplay book this year?!

>> No.7240959

It's apparently the cool thing to do
As a photographer I'd spend my time on it
That's hopefully not the cover he's going to use.

It's horrid.

Laughing forever since someone I know is in this picture and she's shooped to hell and back. Her bodypaint was super shitty in person-- most Homestucks I've seen did better.

Is Korra wearing pajama bottoms?

It looks like it might be a winter themed Korra? idk

She's from the south pole, you really don't get any more winter than that.

I know this Korra. According to her, "it's actually brocade fabric to give the cosplay a more oriental feel." I was wondering which photo of hers would end up in the book since she mentioned she was going to be part of a cosplay book.

I'm wearing pyjama bottoms at the moment that look like colour-inverted versions of what she's wearing. Her idea was shit. Also, oriental? Isn't Korra based on Eskimo culture?

>> No.7242652

If I were making a book, I'd pick one good image and crop it to look abstract and cool than have a clusterfuck with a faceless ass right in the middle

Are you implying that this isn't the target audience? Or the dominant viewership of this board?

>> No.7242673

This is the dumbest goddamn thing. Is she trying to turn Korra into a shitty chinese caricature?

>> No.7242687

>>7240934
So who else is making a book exactly?
There is Cosplay in America's 2nd book, Martin's Book, Breaking All The Rule book, and the 1000 costume book.

Is there any others?
Because if 4 books (3 people and one company) is considered everyone in a hobby reaching over a million people, then we need to change that.

You mean that little pamphlet to "armor making". I guess you can count it, so that makes 5 for this year.

Yeah, Korra is supposed to be the Avatar world version of an Inuit person. All the other cultures are supposed to be pretty much Chinese, but the waterbenders are different...

>> No.7243168

>>7243162
Oops, apparently Inuit is plural, Inuk is singular. Inuk. That definitely doesn't sound like any of the waterbending tribe's names, right? (Sarcasm)

well, there are art books just for collecting

Yea, it seems like it is more like collectible kinda thing, beside it seems like a decent book (i'm talking about the material) and the number of pictures is way cheaper than the prints you fags buy anyway

Not the same guy but yes to both. I'm also goona guess they're the same people who complain about people who dress up as people from games/animes they don't watch or play. Seriously if you're a guy you shouldn't give a fuck just be happy she is hot and you get more eye candy.

Okay, ignoring the whole "making Korra an oriental" thing for a moment, she used the worst part of the costume in general to use brocade on in the first place. If i were her, I would have used it on the top instead, and picked a print that was more subtle to give it some texture. The same thing could have applied to the pants too in order to make it less of an eyesore I guess, but still it's an ugly design choice. I just noticed she was wearing Uggs, I am not even going to get into that.

I knew about facebook pages
But people are making books now? Wow.
