I get that she'd just had a baby. And that her husband thinks she's the best. And all that's fantastic.

But this could have been made so much better by using some slightly more flattering panties.

Yeah, she's still be obviously fat. Yes she'd still get posted here and everyone would point and laugh. But it would just look a little more polished.

Even if you didn't like Ziggy this whole thing is disgusting. She hasn't said much about it but as far as I know he forced her out of organising the event, even though she set it up and did a lot of work to secure the budget and prizes. She's stopped getting involved with events altogether now.

I don't mind Ben, he has an ego but he's alright, but I still think it's pretty low that he pushed her out of the cosplay scene altogether because he thinks he's better than she is. He seems to be in it more for self promotion than she ever was, anyway. I just hope it runs smoothly this year for everyone entering if nothing else.

>> No.8033803

>>8033791
She is mental and screams at people but what Ben did was pretty low. Not even sure what he's hoping to achieve whether this is just to push his ego and feel important or he's trying to get into organising cons, it's a lot of back stabbing to just help run a cosplay contest you aren't getting paid for

>> No.8033813

>>8033803
She isn't mental and she doesn't randomly scream at people. Quite often when you're organising where the work is voluntary and you get the benefit of free entry you find people slack off a LOT. So if she had cause to raise her voice, I wouldn't be surprised.

I've seen her be perfectly fine for whole events. And I've seen her be not so fine for whole events.

I think it's very hard to judge what might be stressing a person out. Everyone can attest to the fact that stressful things happen in life and you don't always let it show or think it's getting to you. Then there's a knock on effect when it's all too much.

It's a really hard thing to judge.

With regards to running cosplay contests, it's not something you can do by yourself. You have to delegate a lot and if people aren't doing their jobs, it all falls apart and if you're the top of the chain it all falls on your head.

That's a lot of pressure.

And it's really easy if you've never been in that kind of liable situation to be like 'if you get handle the heat, get out of the kitchen'.

That said there are things she can and had been learning about running an event.

It's harder than it looks. And you're kidding yourselves if you think most organisers haven't had complete melt downs. But either they've managed to do it behind enough doors or they have better friends.

For all her faults Ziggy did put a cosplay section into ECG and she did start up LSCC. Which is more than most.

I'm not judging where her tipping point is I'm just saying that as an organiser and a representative of any event it's majorly unprofessional to scream at people. Yeah it's a frustrating job and these things are always volunteer led so I'm not having a go at her for trying. But act that way a few times and you are going to get a rep for being unreliable and volatile. Ive never heard of incidents like these for the guys that set up the cosplay for Expo, Amecon, Ayacon, Kitacon…..

They have committees and groups of reliable people though. Ziggy's just got Ziggy and whoever sponges a free pass. Though I don't know if she's shouted at a lot of people or just one person that one time and it's become chinese whispers. What events has she run exactly?

The committee runs the rest of the entire convention. There isn't like a cosplay committee it's normally just one person as far as I'm aware? Ziggy doesn't run EGX she just looks after cosplay. And you're telling me she has no friends she can't ask to help or didn't ask? That's making her sound worse and more unprepared I'm afraid.

The marriage might still be hanging in there but she pretty much blabbed about fucking him and for a little while did ruin his image at the time but his name seems to have survived.

There was a whole load of mess with what money went to charity. It was a clusterfuck either way.

She doesn't get paid but comes off as promiscuous, how else do you think she gets invited to these random cons abroad and a brand new computer?

After years of trying to prove nothing could faze her, she stopped posting here after that photo playing with herself on cam was leaked.

She alluded to having a health care assistant job for awhile but in all honesty she seems more interested in whoring herself out online, begging for e hugs every time shes 'ill' than earning an honest living. Even her friends are fed up of it.

Yes its tits, but its like shes just discovered push up bras, low cut tops and the flavour of the month - streaming on twitch. Its painfully obvious and embarrassing to watch her defend it.

all money on justgiving goes straight to source. implying someone would steal from charity with no proof is pretty bad. the charity also seemed pretty happy with what she was doing.

>how else do you think she gets invited to these random cons abroad and a brand new computer?

she has a big following which is why she gets invited and promoted like all those other cosplayers. the likelihood of her dicking someone at asus seems pretty small, doesn't it.

she stopped posting longer ago than when the other drama came out. because she's a health care assistant and she's super paranoid that her workplace is going to get spammed with bullshit and photoshopped garbage. if you think 'oh why has she never given a shit till now' maybe the answer is she never had a reason to give a shit.

I'm gonna start preparing super early for Kitacon, which means I'm gonna ask all kinds of dumb shit here.

First off, is it worth just staying at the Hilton or would it be a good idea to go to a different hotel and just find a way there?

Secondly, are there any good UK suppliers or people I should straight avoid? I've been super amateur up until now and want to get properly clued in.

Lastly, how reasonable is it to assume I can get fairly swole by the time the con comes around? (Assuming I do things properly, also I'm pretty skinny to begin with)

Sorry for the text dump, pic related is one of the ideas I got going atm.

>> No.8040572

>>8040552
Staying at the hilton is always best if you have the money for it, it's a lovely place.

What is it you need supplying?

I have no idea about getting swole, but I imagine you could really make a difference in the time but it's probably best to start as son as possible.

Aye I'll have the dolla, especially if I book within this month.

I'm mainly just looking for decent clothes/materials that won't necessarily break the bank, but are of a decent enough quality. (Which sounds really awkward come to think of it)

I have a few ideas, with some of them requiring actual construction rather than just finding the right items. Travis being the easiest due to hardest thing to get is the jacket.

On the exercising, I'm more using the cosplay as an incentive to build good habits. Rather than getting fit purely for the costumes.

If I had the time/money, the pic is my main goal.

>> No.8040614

>>8040594
My friend booked our room and it worked out as cheaper to book way in advance than it is to book it with the kitacon code. May not be the same now though.

For ready made clothes just look on amazon and ebay, they usually have a wide range of things. That won't work for every costume but it does for a lot of the smaller bits or thigns can alter yourself.
The facebook group UK Cosplay has a document with decent places to comission parts/props/entire costimes so join that and look/ask around if you need things.
What do you mean by construction? Props and armour?

I'll certainly look into getting the hotel within this month, didn't know about (or forgot about) the code so thanks again.

I'm looking via Amazon and ebay for shit, but I was wondering if there were anyone well known enough to go straight to.

Which you then answered, I'll definitely take a gander at the facebook page.

Yes I do mean props and armour, as well as actually making the clothes from scratch (I'm looking at you Jojo's).

I've known them-or at least, Tarka- since I first started cosplaying in about 2008. They were pretty local to a bunch of us and we'd do meets. Tarka used to be quite Weeby but who wasn't in 2008? I think because she's been in the hobby so long she's just steadily picked up skills and improved overall.

At least the bed was a double and the room was still fairly big for a single. I can't blame the Hilton for doing what they did with the bathroom but my god that was a nightmare. So if anyone is considering sharing a single, just keep all that in mind.

I'm late to the party, but there is a
Yorkshire Cosplay Con 7 happening at Magna in Rotherham in april.

There are about 2000 members of the facebook group. So I presume most of them are going. I have a few friends in that group that told me they're all going so. I won't be though. Will be travelling to another part of the world in April so.

By the way I don't know if this con will be good or bad, just stating that it's happening in 2015. If you go and get disappointed don't blame me.

Also found this YouTube video from their event last year in Doncaster, again I did not go.

The biggest problem with Kita last time was how long the closing ceremony dragged on. Meant that the hour break between the end of the closing ceremony and sunday night live became SNL going on live and then they still insisted on putting Elemental on so the ball was cut down to ridiculously short times, along with the ending party. On top of that what other people have said about the panels. There were some good ones, I went to quite a few, but I've always noticed more variety and just more panels at Ame/Aya. I'm hoping that now they've moved to the sumer spot though we might get some of the panel probleming sorted out.

No idea where you people are getting your LSCC 'knowledge' but Ziggy wasn't backstabbed. She had a nervous breakdown (like she always does) cried everywhere and screamed in the face of the Sony representative and the main organiser. They were gonna formally kick her out but she'd already decided 'it was best for her to leave'.
She barely organised the show last year even from the start. Ben came in early and they just handed him the reigns. Plus the rest of the staff on the day held it together, and the Sony prizes were something Ben got together.
Ziggy just sells a dramatic sob story and no-one has the time to bother correcting it.
The stage at the show is down to the show, and cosplay isn't exactly their main deal, so it's just a glammed up panel room, could obviously be better but could be worse. WCS qualifiers which are supposed to be a big deal have been on shit stages for years.
Also it's a joke to complain that people are entering from other countries. Cosplay isn't supposed to be a nationalist thing. If you've got an issue then just make something better and beat them. People like Valentine might be an ego driven prick but at least he gives it a go.
Hell, even with Ben's ego and his apparent 'backstabbing' some train wreck girl, he's at least organised a half decent event for free and won stuff himself.
UK has a shit ton of cons but barely any comps as it is.

Pretty much. There's normally a couple of them - I remember going to a wig one, and there was an armour one the year before, but even though I make an effort to go to as many panels as I can I can't remember going to more than a couple.

Different person with another panel idea looking for feedback. I want to do one based off BL visual novels and explore more obscure VNs, how to play them, how to set things up, which ones have translations and discuss all aspects for someone who may have only played DMMD to get properly into BL VNs. I also want to do a dumb game and maybe give out a couple of prizes.

>> No.8044948

>>8044910
Different styles of panels facilitate different levels of participation.

Things like quizzes and competitions obviously involve everyone all at once, they also make great places to meet people because of that very reason.

Work shops and hands on panels where everyone gets to take part do the same thing.

Then you have demonstrative panels, like Nert's photography panel, where he'd get volunteer models and photographers and throw in his unique humour. If you have something you can present that is simple enough for audience members to jump in then that's great.

If you want to do an instruction or how-to panel have lots of pictures and videos and phyiscal demo's or examples if you can. No one goes to panels with a notebook in hand and no one goes to a con like it's Uni for Animu. So don't just sit there and talk with slides full of text. Also be prepared to field questions, even if you can't answer you might be able to direct them to a resource that can help.

Panels based around humour are a hard sell. It relies on everyone in the room sharing your humour. I've been in a panel where it was run by a group who presented all their in jokes. They found it hilarious and everyone in the panel was just like wtf all the time. The most common ground for humour is sex which is what yaoi, yuri and hentai panels survive on. But try to hard to be funny and it shows.

Faking the DOF with use of photoshop is never realistic at the best of times, especially if its implemented this badly. She needs to actually focus on getting it right inshot using something with a large aperture like a 1.8-1.2 nifty fifthy. I can see what shes trying to do, make the viewer focus is on the face area by blurring the surrounding, but it doesnt work like that when the distance of her arm suddenly drops out of focus like that while large part of her hair/chest is in sharp focus.

I don't care what others will say, but sometimes you need the right gear for the job, you can't expect to do a shallow depth of field using a lens thats fucking f2.8 for a portrait like this and expect everything to bokeh out except for the eyes/face.

Well, anyone fancy paying her £60 for the shit she does is stupid and deserves to lose their money. Seriously, her edits are crap and full of rookie mistakes, and all she does is apply some actions to, which takes 2 seconds and tweek it using sliders, which adds another 10 seconds. You can always tell its done by actions because the image looks flat. That image of Tabs could have taken 50 hours, but if the end result is rubbish it doesn't matter how long it took, it looks bad.
