As someone who's played the game since beta and loves it with all my heart, please. Just stop. Nothing pains me more than to see League growing in the cosplay community for all the wrong reasons.
>inb4 "omg anon people can cosplay what they want"
Yes, but what portion of league cosplayers actually play the game? And no, I'm not meaning just playing once. I'm meaning dedicating time to actually learn about the champion they cosplay, or even play them (because god forbid someone actually likes the character they cosplay nowadays).
I guess everything is just "lol ma tits tho" so I know girls are gonna whore around in league cosplays anyway. All I ask is that, please, when I want to talk about league... actually know just one bit of information about it. Just one.

B..but what if I spend every bit of my free time playing LoL and have a tit-tastic Katarina cosplay? Don't be salty anon.

i agree and disagree, i started play recently and honestly really like playing the game, and i'm trying to get good a it. (i'm only lv 10 at the moment) i have a lot of plans to cosplay from it too but i want to be able to be good at the game too. The only part i disagree with is that i don't think you need to be good at the champion you cosplay, i mean some people suck at support but there are a lot of good looking support characters, i think you should give them a shot, but if you aren't good at that play style that shouldn't stop you.

i mean like in Final Fantasy i hate my healers in battle because i end up wasting all there mp on healing themselves, but i love the personality/character of a lot of the heals in FF and i want to cosplay them. Just because you aren't good at or don't like the play style of a character doesn't mean don't cosplay them.

You sound like that LoL cosplayer who thought she was the only "real" player because she new all about the LoL lore.

People play games differently. I haven't played LoL in over a year because my crappy computer can't handle games anymore, and I haven't had money to buy a new good computer. And even when I played, I mostly did it for the fun to play with friends.

Let people cosplay for whatever reason they want. If it's for the design, sure. You will notice the difference between people who actually care about the game and the peple who cosplay for attention, so just don't interact with the attentionwhores and there is no problem

I did sweetheart Annie recently, and am working on DJ Sona for AX. Also did Winter Wonder Lulu, but never got around to photoshooting her.

Lulu! She's so fun to play; her Winter Wonder skin is best but I recently realized her Bittersweet skin is actually pretty cute too. I really like Ravenborn Leblanc as well.

>What is your opinion of cosplaying fan skins?
I don't really mind them, but I probably wouldn't do any myself. I also don't think that it's reasonable to assume everyone's going to recognize who you are if you're cosplaying a fan skin; I know I wouldn't recognize half the fanskins people cosplay.

the lore/backgrounds for characters from LoL/DotA are either stupid as fuck or edgy as fuck.

DotA has a wee bit more with the ingame voices but it's still paltry.

Either way they are irrelevant since none of them actively go through any character arcs; ergo the only feature that is worth considering for cosplay purposes is aesthetics.

Well, despite all this animosity, I'm really excited to finally be working on a LoL cosplay!

I had Tristana planned for ages because I play her the most, and then when they announced the rework my heart broke. They basically removed everything I loved about her design and added features that I always avoid in cosplay, like the bare midriff. I liked Tristana because she was energetic and cute but had an outfit that made sense and had cool armored parts on it.

So, I'm going for my second favourite which is Lulu, doing her dragon trainer skin. I decided to stop being a perfectionist planner (since the Tristana incident) so I went and bought fabrics last sunday. Starting on the hat tomorrow and I'm really excited!

Yeah, all my friends said that, but I have an issue with "canon". It just doesn't sit right with me, like that's not what she's supposed to look like anymore so the old design isn't canon. Plus to be honest Dragon Trainer Lulu is a little easier for my skillset and does't involve body paint, which I hate. So it all works out OK! I pretty much only play yordles and I love LoL so I don't really care who I cosplay so much. Although if I could get away with it I'd cosplay Atlantean Syndra.

Yeah there were other options, but I was just a bit put off Tristana.

I'm working on the proportions at the moment and I think I'm going to go for knee length on the dress. On the model you can't see her legs, but I just don't see that looking right on anyone. I noticed lots of cosplayers interpret the dress as short and I don't quite get it... Especially combined with a large hat, it makes the proportions look weird. Like you're wearing an oversized hat with a too small dress. I'm going for a "everything is slightly too big" look to convey her small size, although I need to do mock ups and see how it looks first!

I think when making a Lulu cosplay, you have to find a balance in the clothes. Making the dress small and have a big ass hat will look unbalanced, but making everything superbig on you will make your head look tiny as fuck!

Currently in the process of making Marauder Ashe for AX.

There's really no way of knowing if the cosplayer knows about the game unless you talk to them but it seems like most people dont make that effort to find out, they just assume.

You are really behind if you don't know that the cosplay someone paid for her was kitty kat. Which she says that she did all by herself expect the daggers, and which i doubt because do you see any progress pictures like you see in all of her other costumes?
And herself said that she comissioned her Janna's skirt and Miss Marvel's bodysuit. She is stunningly beautiful, her body has just the right proportions and her make up is always on point. But I won't deny the fact that she only cosplays for fame, and she shouldn't either, because it isn't something wrong. Just don't lie about knowing or giving a damn about something you clearly don't even know at all.
And question for you since you are a brazilianfag too, why do you think she almost stopped taking pictures as a living doll? Because it isn't the trend anymore, that's why.

If you've got a problem with people making shit and/or inaccurate costumes, then I support and agree with you wholeheartedly.

On the other hand, if you're just being a crybaby because you can't handle your game becoming mainstream, I can't help you there. What does it matter if they don't play/know everything about the game? Go find someone else to talk to if you want to talk about the game. There are millions of people who play League.

Really on the fence about this one.
It's definitely cute and hasn't lost any of the spunky gunner feel but she feels and looks like Jinx to me; too much for comfort. Considering I thought Jinx was memelord!Trist, it's mindboggling. The lack of boots is also kind of weird.

That and her eyes are terrifying in-game / Rocket Girl isn't nearly as nice anymore, though I'm hoping they sneak in a fix. I've long-since stopped expecting much from significant VUs after Karma and Trundle (especially Karma jesus fucking christ Riot).

It also kind of gives me the worry that Lulu will have fanart tier thigh-highs and Poppy won't be obviously life/battle-hardened. Yordles are bae.

>> No.8162156

I can agree that she does resemble Jinx a bit, but I still prefer the new look.

Favourite skins are: Surprise Party Fiddlesticks, Lunar Goddess Diana, Iron Solari Leona, Ice Drake Shyvana and Headhunter Mater Yi.

Depends on the fanskin itself. I think it's more acceptable if the fanskin is very detailed and elaborate, otherwise it can come off as a cheap closet cosplay.

I don't understand why it matters what other people spend their time/money on to cosplay as long as theyre not actively invading your fandom space I guess? Some people just wanna challenge themselves to the design or just like it in general. With anime you can watch about 15 episodes(maybe less) and get the general idea of who youre willing to cosplay but with video games you could spend the same time playing(4-6 hours) but youre not considered a "real fan"

Do you also shit on prop makers who make scissor blades and sell them saying things like you dont even watch Kill la Kill? Whats the difference between making a prop to sell from something you dont watch/play and cosplaying for fun from something you dont watch/play??

Also, there are people who actually are bad at games. I am seriously awful with FPS games, yet I still love Borderlands. I would love to cosplay from Borderlands, even though I haven't completed the game. I enjoy just watching other people play the game.

Mix and match up whatever goes the best. That's what I did with my Sweetheart Annie. Used the ingame model as my main source and a little bit from the Splash art.

I have no idea why people see her hair as any shade of blue; it's clearly because of "lighting" that it's that color... if you're going to make her wig bluish silver and ignore the lighting shades, then you should make her tights light pink and tibber's white accents light blue a well.

People incorporate things differently. Just look at Heartsekeer Ashe. People have incorporated her haircolor as white, pink, blue, silver, silver with blue ombre.

With Annie I thought the blue would look better than just plain silver because it would then differ from her white tights like it does on the in-game model, and I didn't want pink tights.
Also if you compare Annie's hair to Small Tibbers, her hair is more towards blue than the white in Tibbers, which goes more towards purple.
Big Tibbers is more blue on the white parts, but even there it is more purple tinted than Annie's hair, except for the part that is very shadowy. But that part also wouldn't get as much light as Annie's hair would.

This is how I saw her haircolor as. But I don't think making it white or silver would be wrong or look bad. I just choose to do what I thought looked best

I play support and I really like Sona. I've started to branch out and play Karma, Annie, and also Leona, but my favorite midlaner is Syndra. My favorite skin I own is Lunar Goddess Diana.

Currently trying to attempt a fanskin from that Chinese skin contest (Project Quinn)

I love Riven to bits, as well as Quinn/Valor. My favorite skin is either Redeemed Riven or Steel Legion Lux.
>What is your opinion of cosplaying fanskins?
Coming from someone who is in the process of doing one rn, it's great to see a person cosplaying other fan's ideas. I'll be okay if no one recognizes, and I'd be more than happy to explain who I am.

Me at the Toronto Fan Expo

>> No.8170323

I know a lot of people don't like pool party cosplays. I got invited to do a pool party cosplay group with friends for fun at a summer con. I know that all of my friends care about the characters and do not want to do the cosplays just for showing off. We will design everyone except Leonas outfit ourselves and I would love to hear good ideas!

I will do Annie. I will have a purple one-piece with pink frills and a picture of Tibbers on. I will have a pink swim ring with little Tibbers all over it (I will print stickers) I will sew my own Tibbers for accuracy and he will wear swim glasses and arm puffs.
Does that sound good?

The other characters we will have are;
>Vayne
>Zyra
>Lulu

Any ideas for them would be great. Like I said, we really want the characters to come out and not just wear bikinis

Personally, I think fan skins are a terrible idea. Honestly I don't even like normal skins. I'm a purist when it comes to cosplaying game stuff, it should be the most recogniseable. I get now with League though that everything has been done to death so its needed, but eh.

It's really disappointing that its always the same few female champions who you see cosplays of. There are plenty of interesting designs I'd love to see more of.

I like fan skins when they are recognizable and true to the character. And creative of course!

Also would love to see characters like Hecarim cosplayed more. But to face it, a minority of the Lol cosplayers would have the skills to make them good, and I know for sure that I would rather look good in my Cosplay, than spend a shit ton of time and money and in the end still look mediocre

Eh. I think most of the people cosplaying league at least know a little bit about the game - I mean, even Kelly Jane at least tries to play it while she cosplays on her stream.

The fact is, LoL is one of the best-known vidya out there at the moment. If call of duty featured beautiful women wearing colourful, technically difficult outfits, then cosplayers would be flocking to that, too. Pretty much everyone plays league of legends, or is at least familiar with it, these days.

Also, I'm cosplaying Ravenborn LeBlanc, but I'm actually complete shite with her in-game. Doesn't mean that I'm not a fan of the character - I think her backstory and concept is awesome, I'm just really, really bad at playing her.

I did Genderbender Office last year at Pax Aus.
Thinking of doing my other fav champ which is Sejuani next year!

Any other Vi cosplays out there?

What's wrong with anon saying Kennen? I've seen people cosplay him well and he fits the criteria. No one bats an eye at people cosplaying yordles (Lulu, Trist, Teemo) really.
Unless you thought Kennen was a girl like a good number of people, then you're the stupid one.

It's not that big of a deal if I just use a normal red teddy bear for Tibbers for Sweetheart Annie, is it? I won't be going to the fabric store for a bit, and I'm thinking of just getting a bear off the Internet.

Almost finished with my riven cos, but I'm so tripped out on the giant ass belt. Is there some place I can buy a belt that big? If not, how should I make it? It's ridiculous that this is the only thing I have an issue with, but there it is lol
Also any league cosplayers heading to megacon this year? (that maybe want to trade SNs too? ;_;)

As long as you give it the heart on the stomach it will be recognized. I think it will look better if you sew it yourself, but I don't think anyone will judge you for grabbing a bear online

I did Shyvana last year for PAX Aus, it needs a big rework though, cause it was a very last minute decision. Gonna fix up the weapons to look more like the splash art for one, but lots of little tweaks and extra detailing to be done.

Go back to Tumblr.

A passing glance at half of these characters reveals that they're half naked with rippling muscles on every available surface.

Contrary to popular belief, sometimes guys aren't all cocky shits who think they can pull that off.

Singed is intended to look almost skeletal. I'd be kind of concerned if someone could pull that off.

TF would be a cosplayable character if it weren't for that gloriously unattainable beard. I don't wanna pull the gender roles card but last time I let a man loose with some wig hair and prosthetic glue all hell broke out.

Don't do a shit job and you'll get craftsmanship points either way. Bonus points for having an ass like she does in the in-game model.

Do you know how to sew a scarf? Do that but sew some stiff fabric inside so you don't have a floppy belt. Done.
