Aranea.
She's not insanely hard to do but great for flaunting yourself. Adaptable according to how much you want to show and how hard you want to go.

If not her then definitely one of the beforus girls.

If the idea is to show off, Porrim is the way to go provided you can do it really well. Porrim is also easier to fancy-up which is an instant ticket to more reblogs, if anon is feeling even more vindictive.

Speaking of mostflogged, why the fuck is she so popular? I mean, she's kinda attractive, but not drop dead gourgeous or anything and her costumes are usually shit or close to it. So, why does she seem to be so popular?

[Anonymous No.7251984]

She seems to be attractive enough to be popular and has a lot of cosplays and outfits, I think.

[Anonymous No.7251995]

Because tits, from what I can gather.

[Anonymous No.7252000]

>>7251968
It's her attractiveness and her connections with decent photographers most likely. And tbf in this fandom you don't have to be the best seamstress to be popular. She also knows how to pose/hold her body which is evident in the mom/bro/roxy/dirk shoot where she's the only one who knows how to not look like she's just standing there.

imo only her homestuck cosplays are that shitty. I actually like some of her other stuff like her plugsuit. I think she knows she can get away with half-assing her homestuck stuff and still get tons of attention.

You look pretty good! If you plan on wearing Karkat again, I would definitely suggest fluffing up the wig some more. Maybe try holding chunks of wig fiber and spraying them with got2b hairspray. Your wig's got a nice anime look to it, but Karkat's hairstyle is kinda...crazier. So don't be afraid to be a little more ambitious with the styling. You've got a fantastic grumpy expression for him from what it looks like, though!

[Anonymous No.7255677]

>>7255660
That was pretty much my reaction last year to be quite honest, since at CF2011 there were a grand total of two cosplayers (a Karkat and Nepeta) and then suddenly like 30++ Homestucks at CF2012.
How did you like your first CF btw? Hope it wasn't too overwhelming for you, I had a friend from overseas with me this year and she needed some time to adjust to the size of the con on the Saturday-- it's a far cry from what she remembered from CF2008.

[Anonymous No.7255688]

>>7255677
It was as expected I guess, although quite less merch than I'd hope. The first HS cosplayer that I saw was Kanaya and it was really good, shame I was too busy being excited that I forgot to take a pic lol
Highlight of the whole thing was definitely when another random guy recognizes me as a homestuck (I wasn't cosplaying) just because I said the word 'abscond' to my friend.

Also where did you find a lot of them in a group? I swear last saturday was mostly filled with me walking around just trying to find some HS cosplayers

Homestuck merch? At CF? Nah man you're asking too much. This is Malaysia, cosplays from popular western media is only starting to gain traction, nevermind something like Homestuck that's mostly an internet thing. There was one booth selling Homestuck merch this year, I think it was the same one from AMG earlier this year, but that was about it.
I didn't hang out with the Homestucks this year because I've had several bad experiences with several members of the local comm, so I can't help you there sorry ): The photo in >>7255677 is from CF2012.

They might have run out by the time you got to them. They're mega illusive because the fanbase here is maybe 200+ people at most, but I've found and gotten HS merch at events here before.
I'm probably outing myself by giving even vague details but no, for the most part it wasn't them being rude to me. It was mostly groping and inappropriate touching that I was mega uncomfortable with, even after I'd told them a few times that I've got a personal bubble a mile wide and I do not like being touched by people I'm not close to. I can deal with being made to hug them because they never remember that I hate hugs, but I can't stand the random touching.

another thing is use cerulean blue eyelashes (its possible to alter a cheap pair and make them that colour) and be sure to use a blue liner around her eyes (blue and other coloured liners are hard to find, but if you wet a small make-up brush, angled or just an eyeliner brush, you can use eyeshadow as a liner)

Chola-vriska anon here, lol. I chose to do the eyebrows mostly to see if I could use that kind of technique and have it look semi-decent, and honestly, I still kind of liked the effect it gave. Permanent bitch face was pretty fun to play around with on Vriska. I do agree it might be too old a look for a young character though, thanks for your help with the bue eyeliner thing, but I couldnt kind any lashes and I just used some shitty blue mascara that day.

The difference between what I did and what that tutorial did was I used layers of gluestick and powder until it was smooth. I wouldnt suggest it for thinning normal eyebrows, and probably not for non-facepainted cosplays. It did crease a little when I moved my eyebrows too much, hence why I exaggerated the brow arch so.

I've also yet to do a troll cosplay, but that's due to my lack of confidence with makeup skills. Finally, I'd like to do more John cosplays, since he's my favorite kid.

What about you guys?

>What Homestuck cosplays have you done this year?
Kanaya, though no canon outfits.
Cronus (going to do him again real soon)
And also a spontaneous and mindless Dave because eh

>Do you still plan to do Homestuck cosplays next year, and if so, which cosplays?
Yes! I have yet to actually sew anything for my cosplays, so I'm planning a GT Cronus (you've probably seen me around here before, I've been asking about bards and stuff) with a friend. Also I want to do a canon outfit Kanaya and some other stuff.

[Anonymous No.7261041]

I said "fuck it" to Dirk, but still going to use the wig and shades and do Bro. I feel like Bro is gonna be a lot more fun to do. I like Dirk, but the dude is kind of depressing.

I'm also working on Gamzee. I used a Jareth from Arda. It's a fucking curly mess and I love it. I might need to do some work to make it stick out more. I still need to get off my ass and make the horns and get the sweatpants/shoes. Also armsocks. Fuck me. How hard are armsocks to make? I've painted my hands/arms before. I ain't goin' back to that shit.

[Anonymous No.7261051]

>>7261041
Armsocks aren't hard as much as they're time consuming and takes precision. Also they're highly depending on the quality of the tights you use. I suggest making a test arm out of a throwaway pair before cutting in your final pairs.

[Anonymous No.7261057]

>>7261051
I got them from WeLoveColors, are those good enough quality? They seem pretty good.

On Bro, though, what's the general thought on zentai suits? I've never seen a Guardian with a zentai suit that I actually liked, can they be done well or is it better to just not waste your time with it?

[Anonymous No.7261070]

>>7261057
I hardly see Bro done in a zentai suit at all, maybe like once. I'd say go for it.

[Anonymous No.7261082]

>>7261057
Can be, but I just generally am not too fond of the zentai look. I suggest you get good with your makeup skills instead, most mistakes people do when they don't zentai is that their face looks way too... "human" in a sense. I don't know how to explain it. You need really even skin to pull it off I guess.

[Anonymous No.7261163]

>What Homestuck cosplays have you done this year?
Eridan, R63!Kanaya, R63!Rose, Bro, and I pulled a quick Dave out of my closet for a small event if that counts. I was also halfway through GT!Dirk before I gave up on doing him to the con I'd planned to.
>Do you still plan to do Homestuck cosplays next year, and if so, which cosplays?
I still need to shoot Eridan, R63!Kanaya and R63!Rose before I retire them for good, and I want to finish up GT!Dirk and shoot him too. Aside from that I'm not quite sure, I might try for GT!Tavros or the Summoner but I think I'm pretty done with Homestuck cosplays on a whole for the time being.

>>7261057
Those tights should be alright. I agree with >>7261051 though, definitely make a test pair first to at least get the technique and shit down, you'll be thankful for the chance to experiment a bit before cutting into your good pair.

Can I /r/ Aradias and Damaras with great horns? I found a design I could have digitally printed and I know there's room for interpretation with their horns because of panel variation, but I'd like to see the shape most people go for before I buy.

[Anonymous No.7261241]

>>7261204
I don't have a pic, but most people just buy some Halloween goat demon horns and paint them. You recognize them if you see them, and they just look bad.

So, really, with that being the common thing and their horns being drawn going every which way, as long as you make something that well constructed and clean, you should be good.

[Anonymous No.7261258]

>>7261241
Yeah, I know the horns you mean. I prefer the more authentic ram look as opposed to the kind of swirly butterfly-antennae shape you see on Aradia's sprite (pic related). I just didn't know if I would get railed for straying from canon.

I personally prefer horns closer to that for Megidos, but, like I said, just don't buy those stupid party city horns and make sure whatever you do use is cleanly made and you should be fine.

I think it's safe to say people will just appreciate good horns even if they aren't exactly what is depicted in canon. At least when it comes to the Megidos, who clearly have some sort of magic power to change the direction of their horns.

Want to finish Grimdark!Rose, Cronus, my own Gamzee cosplay, Dirk and GT!Aradia. Sounds like more than it actually is, though.

Ehh, I've been getting more into anime cosplays, but I'm planning on doing Damara for sure and redoing my Feferi. I have an Obey Jane costume that I never got around to wearing, so I might throw that on for a con that I need a filler for. I might do the Disciple, and I have the urge to cosplay the rest of the female beta trolls, but probably nothing else all that major unless I'm struck with love and inspiration from the newer updates.

2014 is going to be the year of Homestuck/webcomics for me, since I'm actually going to have time to pick up all the projects I put on hold because of family drama.

I think so!! I got a sewing machine for Christmas, and I really want to start sewing asap! (If you anons could recommend easy-tier hs cosplays I would really appreciate that.)

I won't be attending too many conventions in 2014, maybe two at the very most. I'd like to do Jade's god-tier outfit if I manage to get the hang of sewing. I've always wanted to do Roxy, and quite possibly a troll, though the paint makes me nervous!

Speaking of horns, HSG, I got a question for you.

How BIG do you like your horns? For me personally, I kind of like petite horns. I mean, the sprites are so out of proportion anyhow, and then heromode isn't terribly much better.

I kind of like thinking of them like little bug antennae? Mine are never larger than my palm or longer than the spread of my hand, and they tend to be recieved well. Suits my head/face better I think? I hate really big, awkward ones.

Reason I ask is... I have a set of Aradia horns no bigger than the curve of my hand. They're clips that settle into the wig, and they're cute and subtle, but the question is, are they TOO small?

Post some nice horn proportions!

IMO you can stretch it more depending on how realistic you go. I think textured horns tend to look better in a toning from a more rusty red rather than just orange. Especially if the grooves are darker.

To anon asking about horns: I think that for Aradia you might be able to get away with about palm sized horns at the smallest, but they need to be rather three dimensional in that case so that they poke out from the wig properly.

She clearly wasn't going by the hussnasty image. She didn't even do any blue eye makeup.

So, while your argument is valid, I really doubt expecting her makeup to be done well is worth it.

As for why, she's probably just copying either something she saw on tumblr or something she does with her makeup normally and thinking it will work.

It seems to be the concensus that troll freckles are never a good idea and just don't really work. Be it from the perspective of people not knowing how they do it, or that none of them go out in the sun except for Kanaya. They just don't make sense, and don't look good.

Which would be pretty shitty to have a con single out one fandom which is frankly descending. I have to be honest, a group of SNKs could probably cause more destruction with their leg gear than a group of Homestucks. I've seen them accidentally turn around and knock all sorts of shit over/hurt someone.

I HAVE, interestingly, seen large meets forbid paint. Mainly because they're in public places/indoors. I don't go to those. If I'm gonna go out in cosplay at all, I might as well go all the way and get good photos out of it.

[Anonymous No.7268323]

>>7268193
that wig sucks though. people seem to think that flipping the tips is all you need to do for Roxy. But that floppy unstyled fringe man

[Anonymous No.7268342]

>>7268193
is it wrong that i know the exact wig shes using?

>>7268342
What wig is this?

[Anonymous No.7268464]

>>7268454
AFAIK it's a tiger and bunny character wig.

[Anonymous No.7268671]

>>7268193
oh god this is pretty cute.
but is that accent real or what

[Anonymous No.7268680]

>>7268671
very likely not, idk why but people always give roxy a boston/new york love child accent. (you know even though she lives in the middle of the fucking ocean)

also people tend to give dirk a texan accent and not dave

Accurate or not, she's pretty cute.

That's a pretty sweet looking Ribbitar. No one usually does that sword, either. Any more pics of it?

To be frank I really don't want to.

Pretty sure the people who wouldn't leave to let the other gatherings have their time slots had a big hand in con's reasoning too. We couldn't get them to leave! I think this is a smart move tbh.

fuck you for negating all that alcohol I used to forget it.

Is it across the board, or only for Homestucks?

[Anonymous No.7269271]

>>7269095
I'm pretty sure the author wants to forget it, too. She basically burned off Homestuck like a boil.

The dude who made it also did posts with different angles and progress

The forums say -There's no space to safely fit and host any large full gathering for Homestuck/Namco High this upcoming con. This is not to say that the fandom is banned, we just cannot have a full meetup(s) at con. We wanted to let you guys know with plenty of time before con, before any real planning things began. so I am guessing it's just Hussie works.

You americans are weird.

I saw something like this with a Jane a while ago, her voice was super high pitched but she was cute.

>>7270192
You're doing the "guess the cosplay"-game wrong.

[Anonymous No.7270198]

oh, are we posting shitty AUs?

this one's supposed to be human!karkat

[Anonymous No.7270202]

>>7270195
oh, sorry! well, here, have another one. guess the cosplay

[Anonymous No.7270212]

Hey hsg what are some fun meetups you'd like to attend? I've seen some ice skating meetups and such, what are some fun ones you have attended to or would like to see?

[Anonymous No.7270246]

>>7270202
Hornless Tavros? (Because they were sawed off by Condy?)

[Anonymous No.7270265]

>>7270246
it is tavros, but I had no idea about the condy thing. is that from a fanfic?

also, here's my next one, guess the cosplay!

[Anonymous No.7270269]

this is pretty close to flawless, i wish the horns were smoother and Karkat's were'n floating on top of his hair, and Gamzee's wig was a little curlier but other than that i really like this

[Anonymous No.7270274]

>>7270265
Nah I was just guessing.

Humanstuck Porrim?

[Anonymous No.7270287]

>>7270274
that's what i originally thought too but nope, it's human!fem!eridan according to the cosplayer

[Anonymous No.7270308]
