I've met Ceriene (spelling??), Cifera, and Rikala (if she even counts).
Ceriene and Cifera are total sweethearts, though I only met Cifera briefly.
Ceriene was cool and we talked about Final Fantasy as opposed to homestuck (she seems to have moved out of the fandom).
Rikala is. Something. She's friends with Durrscurr and I know him irl. He's cool and fun to talk to, but she's a total cunt. She seems to get angry if people talk to him and ignore her. Also, when I said "you seem familiar, have we met?" completely innocently before I knew who she was thanks to 4chan/tumblr, she looked like she wanted to slit my throat.

Sadly most John cosplayers don't bother styling their wigs period. Pyropi never did. Mur's John has always been strange-looking though, even when he has spiked his wig up. Personally I've always loved the styling on pic related. The tips could be cleaner but I love the texture.

john may have been thirteen at the start and hey if you look like a thirteen year old kid go for it

[Anonymous No.7532358]

>>7532303
I think they did contour, since it's obvious they're wearing foundation at least, and contouring is such a basic step after that. It's probably just very light. Your suggestion for them to age themselves up to look more male is...objectively bad though. Most thirteen year old boys don't have the facial structure that would require noticeable contouring to imitate. If the cosplayer made themselves appear definitively more masculine the way you're talking about, it would have required heavier makeup and would have looked way too mature for a barely-teenage boy. I'd rather have a boyish looking, slightly effeminate cosplayer than Man John all over again.

Tl;dr - Cosplayers should always try to make themselves look the age of the character they're cosplaying, as much as they can. If there's a big difference in age or facial features, there's obviously going to be some incongruity, but I think this cosplayer hit all the right bases. Anything heavier would have been too old for the character.

I'm looking for bright red pants that don't suck for a male!kanaya. I'm thinking I should go full hardgay and get skinny jeans. I /had/ a nice looking pair that I got on a killer sale for 6 bucks down from 80, but I soon found the reason for their ridiculously low price when I washed it and the color faded to a nasty looking cumstain pink on red in random spots after a single wash :/
I'm going to attempt something like pic related. So essentially looking as gay as all hell would be okay, I need to get ny hairstyle down pat though. Also is there a better way to do horns than clay?

>>7532636
Is it possible to re-dye your pants red or not? In addition to that I think a couple of anons have mentioned not using skinnies if you're AFAB because it would emphasise your hips too much, but I think that was directed more at girls cosplaying Striders in skinny jeans. So if you're doing rainbowdrinker!Kanaya you should probably be okay if you sit the sash low on your hips.
Clay horns would be lighter if you make them with an aluminium foil core, and if you have access to insulation foam or expanding foam that would be a lot lighter than clay as well.

Horns made with paper clay don't look shitty if they're regularly shaped and sanded smooth. You can use a chunk of expanding foam wrapped in aluminum foil as a core (solid clay horns will be HEAVY). Then install a screw anchor, and screw to headband. This is how I make my horns, and even the larger ones are very light.

I do not suggest making horns out of only insulation foam. It's brittle, is hard to smooth out, hard to paint, and overall just sucks.

As far as ultra-canon wigs go it's pretty good, but I am still not a fan of the super stylized interpretation. They obviously had the skill to style something heavily, so they could have gone with a less DBZ look and it would have turned out fine.

>>7533354
Yeah, I was thinking that it did look like a DBZ character's hairstyle, so hey, if that cosplayer plans to cosplay from DBZ they should be fine.

It's like... it's not bad in that it's styled nicely, but it's not good in that it just doesn't look right for Karkat. Reminds me off a John cosplayer who did the same thing and tried to go really canon.

As someone who is friends with Rika(la) offline, I can definitely see how she can come across that way.
Rika doesn't put up with people's shit, and she doesn't make an effort to be personable if you don't approach her that way to begin with- so if you happened to come across as rude (or she thought you did) then that would be why she responded that way.
I've only ever known Rika to be really great to be around, but she is openly a... bitch?? Though that isn't really the word I would use??

Does /cgl/ have any suggestions for Dave cosplayers? I've been cosplaying Dave for about 3 years now I think? I can post pictures if you'd like, but I recognize that I'm not that great. Most of the people in my area, and those who I've talked to about cosplay aren't very good (child of SDstuck here, sorry on their behalf but I left awhile ago) so it's difficult to gauge my actual skill. I'm aware that the outfit itself isn't much, being that it's just black jeans, shades, the shirt from the store, and red converse, so I try to go for props to set me apart from others. I have a scarlet ribbitar that's not very good and a caledscratch with a fairly simple design that I like quite a bit actually. I also have timetables that I don't use too often anymore because of the swords, and a backpack I painted to look like the bladekind strife specibus. None of it is all too special, but compared to many of the people I'm around who cosplay it's pretty good. (I have pictures of all but the timetables if requested.) I like to do little things just to spice it up, like the last con I went to I took a bottle of applejuice with a label I made that says "fruity rumpus apple factory" and has the clip art apple. The only thing I do pride myself on as far as cosplay goes is being in character, but that can only get you so far. I'm also a plus size cosplayer which I realize is definitely working against me as Dave.

I guess I'm just wondering what tips people have to make myself look better/stand out among the sea of Daves at every convention.

>If you're tired of looking like all of the other Daves, why not try out a lesser cosplayed outfit of his? Obv the record shirt is the most popular, so try out an outfit that he wears rarely or is seen less frequently in.

As long as you're cosplaying the same generic Dave, you're honestly never going to stand out that much.

[Anonymous No.7547131]

>>7546958
the most common ways to fuck up Dave are
- (womens) skinny jeans
- shitty/unstyled wig
- inaccurate glasses+taking them off all the time/touching them in pictures
- visible piercings
- shitty makeup, this includes horrid, inaccurate freckles, eyeliner, shitty contouring
- something retarded like a rainbow belt or a yaoi flag
- acting like a tool
- shitty posing
- shitty binding

If you do none of the above, I can't see why you wouldn't be a good Dave

Just use a wig. It'll be easier in the long run, will require that you do less potentially damaging things to your hair, and will look way better, even if you barely know how to style them.

You're hair is gonna get gross and out of style over the course of the day, but a wig won't unless you do something weird to it. It's just the best option.

[Anonymous No.7547167]

>>7547165
Cool, thank you

[Anonymous No.7547183]

>>7547163
The holster is actually really cool even if your Caledscratch isn't the best, but to answer your question, even if your prop work is clean and you do a less cosplayed outfit (and do it well, mind you - the very fact that you have to ask whether or not to wear a wig makes me seriously doubt your abilities right from the get go), you won't ever be a well-noticed Dave because you're overweight and not conventionally attractive. That's the sad truth in cosplay. It's half craftsmanship and half looks, and sometimes even *more* than half looks. And you aren't necessarily ugly, mind you. You just aren't the thin, slender-faced go-to this fandom likes for Dave cosplayers, and it definitely works against you. I'd like to see a picture of your wig though, because wigs are very telling when it comes to immediate improvement.

My advice right now is to work on improving your technique when it comes to your props, and to lose some weight. Like I said, cold hard truth. There's not really any way to sugarcoat it. Homestuck may not give its characters canon body types, but larger cosplayers are disadvantaged anyway.

[Anonymous No.7547191]

>>7547183
I really do appreciate your honesty, and I am aware that as an overweight cosplayer I'm at a disadvantage. The only reason I don't know that much about the actual cosplaying part is that Dave really is the only character I cosplay. I'm considering doing Amethyst from Steven Universe, but I would have to find someone to help me with the outfit. Props and ideas are what I'm a lot better at.
But yeah, I appreciate the advice. (The fact that I only really cosplay Dave is the reason I don't know jack shit about basic stuff like wigs or whatever)

[Anonymous No.7547221]

>>7547160
In addition to what >>7547183 said, you might want to consider getting a shirt that fits your neck area better (ie, the collar doesn't sag loosely) and then screenprinting a larger symbol onto it. One of the most awkward things to look at with the larger shirts is how the symbols aren't scaled to fit the shirt's proportions, and that throws off the look of an outfit for me.

That said, your idea of a bladekind holster is pretty neat. If props are your thing, you could also try Dave's other swords (like the Caledfwch and the Scarlet Ribbitar) and do a shoot with your holster filled to bursting with a bunch of swords.

While it's certainly not true of many of the BNFs (and many more are catching up really quickly), a lot of anime cosplay is a big step up in difficulty from Homestuck and so some of the really good Homestuck cosplayers aren't doing as well with harder stuff.

[Anonymous No.7550631]

It's totally fine.
I always see whining on /cgl/ about how anime cons should be for anime only, but any con is just a gathering of nerds who want to enjoy their interests with other nerds while they have a chance to do so in person, and sometimes the particular nerdy interest they're engaged in at that moment won't be the same as the designated theme of the con.

Ugh, I hate when people do genderbend cosplays and put no effort into the wig/hairstyle of the genderbent character. It's always some long, unstyled wig or ponytail. Like, is it really that hard to take into account the style and personality of a character and consider what their hairsyle might be if they were the opposite gender? Is it really that hard to then style a wig in that way?

If I see one more female Dave with long curly ringlets and sideswept bangs I'm gonna puke. Dave is constantly on the lookout for attacks from Bro and he's also constantly training in swordfighting. Long hair and bangs in the face would just get in the way of that. Not to mention that Bro (or I guess Sis?) would probably end up chopping most of those ringlets off in a fight, and Dave's hair is obviously straight so ringlets don't even make sense on him because that motherfucker would not take time to curl his hair.

Or like this picture. That's nothing close to Dirk's hairstyle. Dirk has pointy anime hair, so why did this bitch just put a wig in a shitty side ponytail? Wouldn't it make more sense to give her hair like Panty or some other ridiculous anime girl hairstyle? But nooo then it wouldn't look ~purdy~ and that's obviously the only thing cosplayers care about in a genderbend.

I think gothichamlet is a programmer but I can't find the tumblr post.

She is. She posted a graduation pic last week.

I really like this picture aside from their horns coming out the front of their hats.
Terezi holding the gun wrong makes up for it though.

SCH is a teacher who works with disabled kids. She also works in an animal shelter. I don't know what Pyropi does but she travels. She lived in Japan and Moscow.

Pretty sure neither of those had to do with her job. She was still in school when she went to Japan. Speaking of which, I think Ceriene is still in school or graduating soon.

I know Mostflogged's group still does the alpha kids, but I'm not sure about MF herself because she sells a shit ton of her costumes.

petition to add krazorspoon to pretty tier

[Anonymous No.7555296]

>>7555066
Got any more examples they've done from this year? That's a great pic but everyone in that tier has a handful of good cosplays.

>Who?
They're most known for their Equius cosplay (shown in >>7555066) and do a lot of tumblr gif-roleplay with it. They are also active in the South Park and Gorillaz fandom.

>Last Homestuck Cosplay
The aforementioned picture of their Equius, posted five days ago.

>Homestuck cosplays over the last year
Equius
Eridan
Karkat
Closet Cosplay Dirk
God Tier Dave?

>Additional Notes
They're really nothing special. Their equius is cute and they can style a wig but they are very lacking in actual shoots or anything higher quality than a webcam gif of their cosplays. They do a few skits it seems though.
Their blog is...really badly organized. Looking through it chronologically I found more cosplays than in their tag (which I manually had to find). They do answer questions but they're not organized. I didn't find any actual shoots of any of their cosplays aside from that Equius one.

props for impressively intricate wig styling though

[Anonymous No.7555715]

That's not impressively intricate, that looks like shit.

anon doesn't know what the word intricate means

[Anonymous No.7555750]

>>7555745
And you clearly don't know what the word "impressive" means. The ultra-canon Karkat wig from the last thread was better styled and had cleaner lines and fuller spikes (and it still looked bad). The spikes on that cosplayer's wig look like a pinwheel. It's not intricately styled at all. It just looks bad.

anon is really bad at picking up the correct connotations for words
i never said it looked good please clean yourself of sand

as for taki and drew, i assume it's just because they lost romantic interest in each other. they're still friends

>compliments styling and gives props
>"lol but i never said it looked good!"
Then why give props in the first place? You are really starting to reek of selfpost.

[Anonymous No.7555791]

>>7555779
props = proper recognition

intricate = complex and uncommon

impressive = it reflects talent and hard work, not necessarily a good looking aesthetic value. disagree with me if you want. i have no doubt that you will

crying "selfpost" = a sad last ditch effort to sound big and mighty lol

sage because this conversation is fucking dumb

[Anonymous No.7555809]

>>7555791
You are so mad. Selfpost confirmed. But by all means, keep giving yourself "proper recognition" for being "talented" and tackling "complex" projects yet producing such poor results. You don't get points for effort in styling a wig that looks bad. Your Equius is solid but your Karkat is not. Go look for a gold star somewhere else.
