Maybe it is photoshopped to hell, or maybe it's a good photographer. The right angles can really make a difference to how someone looks. The Nebula costume is very unflattering on her and the photographer clearly didn't know what she doing.

Somalian gangs and young white males who think they are cooler than teenage weebs because they go there to olay pool drunk and not much else. Somali shits robbed me, stole a friend's ice skates and mobile phones. Soho has historically been the place to go for booze, drugs and strippers but just recently there have been a few incidents where some dickheads decided to pick a fight with the staff and hang around at the top of the stairs smoking weed, purely to let everyone know they are there. I don't know what tough guy shit they are trying to prove but I've been followed by 4 guys in the last two weeks entering and leaving the building. I got robbed because some dumb Somali kid came down the stairs and immediately asked if I had a boyfriend. I said yes politely (and I'm 6-8 years older than you anyway) and left the arcade when I'd finished what I was doing; 10 minutes later, they decided they'd 'show me'.

In reply to all the lady noctis posts. I know noctis personally. she is one of thee biggest hypocrites I know. She says that she doesn't belive in editing photos, that she won't work with a photographer that she knows will edit photos, and that if any editing is done it's done without her knowledge and permission. Bull fucking shit. she knows damm well there edited. could choose not to use the images for that reason if she felt as strongly as she tries to make out. But doesn't.

Also she happily bitches about photographers models artists cos players but acts normal to their faces Or then works with them.

she has no talent when it comes to making her own props and everything is always slap dash looking ie the sword n arm. If she's wearing anythin decent looking either paid someone to make it or used friends to get what she needs then treats them like crap.

When it comes to professionalism she is fucking shocking. I have personally seen her criticise and abuse a latex designer because there was one tennie issue with an outfit something that was easily fixed. She put up posts abusing this person and advising people not to use them because of there bad work.

So how many people actually seen photos of her costumes at conventions?

Not that anon, but taking in a few inches from photos with very busy backgrounds can be quite tough to get the background to match up again. So rather than "a few moments in photoshop" actually you have to spend some time thinking about your background, on top of learning how to use the liquify tool.

Plus, the other bonus from doing squats is that you'll look thinner in other people's photos that you don't have the chance to touch up.

So I can kinda see the logic there, sorta.

My point was you could use the time you'd spend editing photos doing squats instead.

In theory, the long term effect would be removing the need to edit the photos that way because doing the squats (or equivalent exercise) has removed the inches.

The most they do is try to gently shoo them away. They never call the police. The shocking thing is that they came down and sat next to me arguing with security about 5 minutes AFTER I asked them to confront these kids

The problem is no one wants LV to be unsafe but they don't want staff to come down hard either. When new staff got overexcited and mistook playfighting for actual fighting, stopped people using the mains to charge phones or sitting down for too long, it felt like being in a restrictive place rather than fun. They should have focused on the real troublemakers going around assaulting/filming girls and coming in on drugs trying to kick/lick people playing Pump. Yes, I said LICK.

It's kind of a lose/lose situation, about 9/10 people who ask for cosplay guests ask for you to bring people they love from aboard, and if you don't you end up disappointing them.

I think the problem is that most of the "in demand" uk guests have a bit of a reputation for being bratty and entitled. And generally that's something we've avoided like the plague because well, aint nobody got time for that.

Sunnycon has a pretty high stakes competition, so I'm surprised that they don't offer panels from UK ECG and WCS Reps, at the very least? I'm sure there's a lot they can offer about the competitive scene - I struggle to believe someone like Lex could be considered entitles or drama whoring?

Also the cosplay panels that are offered, don't seem to be very supported by the rest of the con - very sad and unprofessional to see that half way through a cosplayers panel last year someone came into the tent and basically shouted that another event was starting, encouraging everyone to leave.

To be fair, I think the situation being mentioned there was actually dealt with after the event and like, totally won't be repeated. Last year a bunch of the early stuff on the first day was running late till we made up for it with some creative timetabling.

We'd have people from ECG and WCS in a heartbeat (I think we HAVE had some of them in the past too though I'm goddamn awful with names) but sometimes it's a case of either: Not being able to afford to pay them if they ask because we're already on a tight as hell budget (Something that's slowly improving as we grow and learn where things can be cut) or they can't/wont travel across the entire country to come.

And me at least, I'm always open to feedback like. Most of the time it's listened to and considered. We're slowly digging ourselves into a better position. Come the end of this years event and onto the planning of next years, stuff that I know right now that'll be getting talked about soon will hopefully make things a LOOOOOOTTTT better.

I've been to basically all of your events but the boat parties. You need to take criticism on board and actually CHANGE how you run your event if you want to have more respect in the UK.

You seem to pander to kids who want what's cool on the internet instead of wanting to run a respectable event for the UK. I turn up to people watch and have a laugh with friends, rather than the event itself.

That said, do you read up about your cosplay guests? I can't fault Twinfools & Nova, they were spot on, same for Yuka in 2013. But I don't know why you'd invite guests like Ginny McQueen who was already washed up and Nadia last year who didn't even turn up. There was also no announcement about her not arriving... not very professional for anyone who DID want to meet her.

There are so many good cosplayers in the UK. Even then 2 of the British WCS reps live in the next city over. Almost all of the WCS reps in the UK have done events since if you'd only ask.

Even then last year (as mentioned by >8226933 actually), one of the cosplay panelists who was there on the Saturday was very rudely interrupted during their panel by an announcer saying that the "actual cosplay panels" were running in a panel room elsewhere, and to go there instead. She also mentioned that she had prepared a panel, but wasn't given the facilities to run it on the day. If people DO help out, treat them with some fucking respect, they're on YOUR schedule.

Your competition is a whole different subject and jesus that needs work too. Having cosplayers parade inside a tent on crappy wooden floorboards with plastic chairs dotted about is a joke frankly.

People are willing to help, give feedback and go along to your SunnyConVent, but you need to LISTEN to make any progress. You might make ticket sales and get people through the door but you have a bad reputation, work on it.

Trust me, if i had all my wishes fulfilled things would be plenty different. But I'm not the person in charge of the budget and all of the planning so often I have to compromise. I don't always agree and anyone on the committee could tell you that much, but more often then not what I want it phased in over time.

As it is a lot of it comes down to confusion and mis-planning and every year having to learn everything all over again because getting a permanent venue has been hell. Which is why I said, wait till you get the announcements for the future after this year. It looks like we'll have stuff pretty much permanently settled in a new venue after this years even if everything goes well.

The issue with Nadia was a super last minute thing that I don't remember the specifics of, but it was in that crush of the 50 million things happening at once over the week or two before and entirely slipped through the cracks.

I genuinely believe in the future of the event though, it's just been through so many shake ups and changes that yeah, whenever we get better in one of our weaker spot we find new places. But in general, I think things are getting better and we're getting better at learning on the go.

I didn't compete, but have it on good terms from 3 entrants that there were 2 separate rooms for judges with 2 judges in each room. How on earth are judges meant to make a fair decision if half of them haven't seen the nitty gritty details? It's hardly as if you could see them on the catwalk. I think the judges probably did as good a job as they could considering the circumstances but it's kind of pointless having a board of judges if half of them aren't there for pre-judging.

Okay, so not everyone in the world has a sewing machine. But that said, I've seen some pretty damn impressive work done by hand.

Points for innovation using socks a arm warmers. It's not new, she's not the first, but it's one way round a problem. However unevenly cut neck ruffles, unsealed edges and uneven central thick running stitches are nothing to be jealous of. It just says 'I couldn't be bothered to do a better job, I just banged this out, but I'm wearing a leotard and I have an okay body so I'm kawaii desu hai?'

And that's without address the mess that is the ears.

A million frayed edges. Okay, that's one way to do a grass hula skirt, but if you're not going to buy an actual hula skirt, at least learn to burn your edges so they don't fray to pieces. It's not that fucking hard.

This is just me, but I really don't see how any of no sleeve outfits like these are flattering. The crotch element pulls the ensemble down and makes the breasts look low. Us real life girls are expected to compete with our anime counter parts with their boobs up around their arm pits. Girl needs to invest in some clear straps, or a push up bra or some skills.

She says she's improved. Shoulda stuck to wearing bought things. Flinging a bed sheet on oneself and watching the stray threads blow in the wind is not an improvement. Using really thin fabrics like this makes a costume look cheap. Even lining the hood would have helped tidy it up and lent the outfit some weight.

For all the tl:dr out there

...basically for a girl whose near entire repertoire is facilitated by store bought costumes or items, she's remarkably lazy even then. Small changes would easily polish off the costume.

Being a cosplay guest means nothing. If there are people that are excited to meet her, that's great. But I can't see her doing any panels, because really, what can she talk about that can't be summed up in five minutes?

Getting likes is really simple. You can ether

- Wear a lot of skimpy costumes and accept that it's cheap attention and mostly for your body and not your work but that's your choice
- Pander to attention and only cosplay from what is new, current and popular to keep up with trends. This is probably one of the hardest to maintain because you're built on volatile fandoms, if you miss the boat you'll fall a long way behind.
- Cosplay from one particular thing and make it your 'thing'. This kind of couples with exploiting an established fandom and only really works if you pick something big.
- Post lots of simple but well finish costumes and/or props and/or some element of cosplay. This may take some time to establish a fan base.
- Post lots of progress and make more time consuming costumes/builds but have really impressive results. Again, this may take time.
- Win lots of competitions and advertise your page.
- Do lots of share for shares, features, anything that basically equates to leaching from anyone more popular than you. Push yourself in groups with your best photos and cute catch phrases. Beg all your friends to like your page, friend everyone you meet and beg them to like your page.
- Buy them
- Admit that it's all a farce anyway and it's just a subculture within a subculture. Know that e-fame does, in no way, grant you any magical skills. It doesn't prove anything either since there's lots of ways to get attention and lots of reasons for individuals to give you their attention.

How to network...it really worries me that this generation is seeing cosplay as a networking opportunity.

Yes people have got jobs and gigs with their cosplay portfolio but if you want to work in the costuming industry you have to have a wide variety of skills. Or be exceedingly talented at 'that one thing you do'. We don't have a massive call for booth babes or legit geek models in this country, wrong part of the industry.

Unquestionably she is good at gaining likes, which in its own way is commendable; but likes do not equal skill or ability.

How to make friends at anime convention.

Make friends with friends of your friends. Everyone knows someone.

Fall on someone, spill your drink on them and offer them a change of clothes. Initiate shoujo manga sequence.

If you don't have any friends in the community, start using online facilities such as forums and cosplayisland to join planned groups and events. Talk to the people at these events online, in person and after the event.

Use your scouter to determine their power level is over 9000. Fight to the death to attain your Aryan race transformation. Bring dead people back to life with your balls and make them your friends.

Talk to people that approach you for a photo, offer your contact details.

Attend meets and picnics for fandoms you are interested in, talk to the other attendees who have the same interests as you.

There are ways to make cheap costumes that don't look that shitty too.

Drill and twill are easy to handle. And not too expensive by the meter. It's just important to either finish the edges of twill or double roll the hem as it will unravel forever.

Also if even if it's not perfectly made so long as the edges are finished and your seams aren't splitting apart folk'll at least know you've made an effort. We all have to start somewhere.

Also my friends say patterns are impossible to use but a couple (literally 2) good dress patterns have managed to make me some dresses, tunics and tops. One has side seams and darts, the other has princess seams. I've only been at this a year but I still do well enough to be proud of what I've made.

>> No.8228898

>>8228884

I've only recently made my first cosplay, and yeah, I've found that even basic steps makes it look so much better.

For example: Adding a hem to an edge of a garment instantly makes it look SO much better. Like, with a tiny change like that, it stops looking like a piece of fabric, and looks like an item of clothing.

>> No.8228917

>>8228884

First mega tip.

No raw edges on garments.

Things like satin ribbon can be finished with a match so they don't fray away over time, but even the best of us forget the odd trim end.

But for god's sakes line and hem.

It's not just about finishing the edges so your garment lasts longer, it adds structure and weight.

I know a girl who made Belle's gold ball gown out of satin, and because she was rake-size-tiny said she didn't need lining, let alone boning, in the bodice. So she made this massive ruched skirt (it didn't look too bad) and sewed it to this bodice....and was surprised when the seam ripped and her skirt literally fell away on the day.

Second big tip, learn to use patterns.

People who whine about not being able to understand them when they come with instructions and we have this thing called google are not struggling, they're just being deliberately stupid.

You'll learn a lot of techniques from patterns, and once you become comfortable with a pattern you can manipulate it.

Wigs are thicker than what 90% of humans are blessed with. Wearing a wig is made more necessary because you'll look like the odd one out if you don't.

Because telling your kids to be wary of a guy, who is at con alone, middle aged, creepy, wearing a monstrous version of their favorite
characters, with no self awareness, who seems to be trying to interact with kids, to the point where he's upset if they don't like him.

No red flags there.

He is incredibly creepy. The face he pulls in pictures (this one especially) just makes me so fucking uncomfortable and I hate it. I mean fair enough if you wanna crossplay but I agree, kids aren't gonna understand. Plus he's dressing as young girls which is.. yeah.

I get what you mean. It's mainly his facial expressions and structure. He always pulls such fucking wierd expressions.

If he opened his eyes properly and closed his fucking mouth whilst smiling his face wouldn't look that bad.

Too bad about anything but the face,

So I'm gonna go to MCM london on saturday.

Not to the actual con, like I'm not buying tickets, but I want to just hang around outside and have fun. That kind of crap.

Idk if any of my friends are going though. Is there going to be a meetup group people for people to just chill with?

Some of us should just start drama for the sake of starting drama. See how bad it gets.
