[Anonymous No.8143615]

>>8143435
She's part of the Sellout Circle along with KO ahem....Kitsune Kid, and various others.

Her "ginjikas" are just her trying to bring sex appeal to things that don't need it. Like, who wants to make Toothless sexy?

Who wants to make Pokemon sexy with actual Pokemon? (We have Gardevoir for that!)

Fucking Ginjikas she makes are stupid and disgusting. She's so fucking full of herself.

I will admit to having some respect for her with getting her betas to buy cosplay supplies for her. Ya she is selling out but at least its productive?

[Anonymous No.8143650]

I think the number 1 issue I have with people cosplaying gijinkas is that they're often just cosplays of a drawing. And it's people anthromorphizing things for the sake of conveneince or appearance. Ultimately though they're not the worst trend in the world.

Probably just a basic kanekalon wavy wig andmaybe use some product to make it look more noodle-y.

What about kigu gijinka's. Are they only accepted because you look like a lard ass in them vs trying to be sexually appealing? I never see them being called out for their creativity.

Byndo is this strange enigma to me.
I've never met her, and I've never interacted with her, but the stories I've heard from close friends of mine who've dealt with her both in and OUT of cosplay make me never want to associate with her ever.

Please say this is a joke. If someone hasn't posted in the thread which character this was, I would have no fucking idea what it was. The number of good, "accurate" gijinka cosplays are in the minority, most of it is just slutified shit a la JNig. Most of the cosplayers doing them are fame-hungry cosgirls who want to be famous, because it's easy to stoop to basic T&A cosplays instead of hard work and accuracy.

As much as I'd love to reveal, I really can't. Most of was I know I was sworn to secrecy, and if I revealed any of it, jig would be up and I'd be in deep shit because they'd instantly know it was me.
All I can really say is the generic stuff. that she uses people until they've outlived their purpose and then she drops them, as well as her not knowing a damn thing about most of the shit she cosplays.

>>8145773

I don't like everything about this costume but I do like it. I like how she used a lot of leather "armor" and some sort of helmet to represent the vikings in the movie.

Speaking of slutified shit and JNig, this is supposed to be Espeon.

to be fair Espeon is usually pictured as a belly dancer. And I think this one was based on that one famous pokemon gijinka artist everyone was cosplaying from a while back (forgot the name)

Diff anon here, her name is Kelly, but she goes by 'Kay'. She seems nice at first but honestly bitch is crazy. I personally can't stand most of her cosplays, because they're all over sexualized gender bent shit. It's disappointing because she's honestly got some skill and I feel like she just wastes it on stuff like that.

Sexy toothless really pissed me off too, because he's not a sexy character in the least bit. He's a little goof ball.

I think it goes in waves? First people all cosplayed the regular/canon version of characters, then because they want to stand out more they try something different or fandom-made. Then other people do so and everyone does the same fandom stuff.

Probably will take some time but after that people will realize cosplaying a good canon version of a character will bring them more attention nowadays.

Designs vary, see pic. Personally I don't care, at least effort was put into the costume and it's not just a fleece hoodie. I hate those simple, fleece and tank top cosplays (see: Jnig's pikachu).

You never know! I used to work with a band as a belly dancer/sales girl and there are some really crazy and awesome things you can do for cloths. A lot of designs I see are usually really simple for belly dancing and gypsy themed stuff (I figure most people don't know better and just know of the basic bra costume you see everywhere) Pic related, though not cosplay.

I'm really excited to make espeon. I made Cowslips Vulpix last year and I love all the detail in the designs. Painting stuff for cosplay is also my favorite thing ever, so I really enjoy hand painting the fabric.

It looks cute! For the sheer fabric (veil/pants) I would recommend some sort of chiffon, Crepe georgette, or a sheer/light weight cotton. For all the heavier pieces, dupioni silk (which I love for the texture it gives), taffeta, cotton brocade, or rayon.

I would personally say shy away from anything overly shiny, like charmeuse or satin, just because that can make it lend into the bad costumey territory.

If you want to jazz it up without going crazy, try adding some more hip scarves and doing a lot of layering, or buy some jewelry (like long chain/coin necklaces) and draping it with the sleeves/bodice/under the top.

Do you have a personal preference for buying sheers? Joann's selection of sheers is really limited. I was thinking of maybe using Syfabric or Fabrics.com. My friend proposed Amazon as well and some shops have pretty positive feedback but I've never bought fabric off of Amazon.
