In the last thread, people were discussing that fanart of the girls with different body types - I saw this one, thought it was much better, although I think Hanayo should be smaller. Thoughts?

[Anonymous No.8592102]

>>8592082
At least they don't look like downsy men in this.
But why is Hanayo chubbier than Nozomi? I was more under the impression that she was 'asian chubby' i.e. not rail thin, and that Nozoom was more of an hourglass considering she has pretty shapely legs in the anime just naturally large boobs.

I feel slightly underwhelmed by the new ninja outfits. What do you guys think?

[Anonymous No.8592148]

Hey so I'd like to gather some opinions!

I have a pretty good background in print design and had a discussion with another LL cosplayer recently about how glad I am that I'll be able to replicate/approximate a lot of the more unique prints. I didn't realize until then that there's kind of a market for LL prints on spoonflower, though a lot of them are pretty simple stripe/dot things so far.

So basically, would the fandom at-large be into it if I started designing some of the more complicated prints? If there's a general interest I'd be glad to see what's in demand because as much as I just enjoy creating really nice repeats for fun (or for myself/friends), I'm looking to make a little bit of money on the side while I'm finishing up my senior year of college.

I really honestly need it. I don't have photoshop and was kind of screwed looking for prints that I wanted for LL outfits!! I could post a few that I'm planning on cosplaying if you're looking for what kind of prints I'm personally having trouble finding, I'm sure others can as well. It would be much appreciated.

Glad to know! So just because these two pictures are great examples for something else I wanted to say, I'll use them.

The first one is 100% doable for me and wouldn't even take terribly long so I wouldn't mind working on any of the prints on her if you wanted the pinstripes as well as the two stripes with the stars.

The main print in the second one, while doable, would be infinitely more time consuming due to the gradient business going on in the floral. There's enough fabric there that the commission I'd make could be worth it, but it's still a little less appealing. The obi and ribbon are simple and super cute, though.

I appreciate the input, and if anyone else is interested feel free to keep posting pictures!

[Anonymous No.8592335]

>>8592082
Is it just me or is there something really off about Nozomi's legs? Either way even though I agree those 2 should be smaller it's otherwise much better IMO; though it may be subtle they still have varying body types, face shapes, and skintones without being "unrealistic" (that is, in terms of following anime logic, haha).

So I'm not going to go too crazy tonight because I had class all day and I'm a little fatigued, but I did slap together a quick preview of what I have in mind for this!

I think the teal stripes could be thicker and I want to make the stars a little more vibrant (I added the transparency bc I think it looks nicer, personally) or slightly more spread apart but this is what that skirt looks like to me!

[Anonymous No.8592393]

dude that already looks ten times better than anything I could have done. If you look up the prebought outfits online the color is off too so thanks.

[Anonymous No.8592396]

>Going to see the movie? If so, where
Yes. Southern Hemisphere.

>Are you cosplaying to it? What are you wearing?
Probably the Kotori in her pastel roomwear, otherwise one of Kotori or Umi's casual outfits.
I'd like to make one of the dresses from the last song in the movie because they're quite simple and cute, but I feel it'd be kind of obnoxious and spoilery as it hasn't screened in the western world yet.

>What are upcoming cons and outfits?
Pic related are my plans but I'll probably only finish Kotori's outfits this year. >>8592148 I'm okay with making plaids myself, but I'd be really interested in getting the main print of Umi's kimono because not being able to find similar enough fabric is holding me back from starting... but I understand if the print is too complicated or time consuming to replicate, haha.

>Who is your best girl?
Hanayo, Kotori and Rin are my top 3, but I love them all.

>>8592132
I agree, especially the idolised versions are sort of disappointing, but I like a lot of the little details like the flower knots and shuriken accessories.

>Going to see the movie? If so, where

Probably just my Maki wig, at most. The only cosplay I have ready for her is way too difficult to put on for a movie.

I don't exactly know the term for it, but to me it looks like the stars are meant to be regularly spaced, like polka dots. Otherwise it looks great.

[Anonymous No.8592417]

Jacking this from a thread I just posted because I missed this one, but does anyone have suggestions for the scallops on almost...all the outfits on llsif? I want to use a heat tool because that's what's been suggested but I don't know how to do that, and I can't face scallops for my life.

>>8592082
I always saw Hanayo s chubby because her entire character is based around eating starch? If she existed irl and ate like she did she would probably be about that size.

[Anonymous No.8592435]

>>8592393
Great, I'm glad you're liking it! (Assuming this is the right anon) Besides the other stripe/star print on her hat (hat?? weird idol headpiece), did you need any of the other stripes on this one? I'm not totally bogged down in school work just yet, so I can have at least this outfit up on spoonflower within a few days. As for the other ones you posted, I just kind of need an idea of which ones you know you'd want to buy next so I could make a prioritized queue of projects for myself.

>>8592396
I would have to do a little creative fudging on something like that, but I don't think it's entirely out of the question. As far as the more complicated prints go, honestly I would just like a little reassurance that you (you meaning anyone that wants something more elaborate, not you specifically) would definitely buy it once it was done.

And I would keep people updated for specific requests like I did above, of course! I don't expect anyone to promise to give me money even if they aren't sure if they don't like the end product because that would be stupid.

>>8592411
I was thinking that it could be that kind of repeat, so thank you for backing up my suspicions haha. I'll see how that looks as well! The weird way the stars overlaid with a few of the stripes (ie they don't seem to overlap in a consistent spot each time) threw me off a little bit.

[Anonymous No.8592459]

>>8592417
>If she existed irl and ate like she did she would probably be about that size
anon I'm sure it'd take a lot more than just rice to make someone that fat...

Anyway to answer your question the one you posted in the other thread (http://www.amazon.com/Fabric-Cutter-Sealer-Hot-Knife/dp/B00460KVRM)) I can confirm is safe to use on fabrics and pretty easy to control my friend used it to cut the lace designs on the transformed maid outfits. It's a no-brainer, you just trace the design onto the fabric (or use a heatproof stencil as a guide) and then follow it with the knife.

Also use the help thread next time.

[Anonymous No.8592460]

>>8592435
>The weird way the stars overlaid with a few of the stripes (ie they don't seem to overlap in a consistent spot each time)
Yeah, if I'm understanding you correctly, I noticed that too. I think it's just that the stars vs. the stripes aren't the same width/don't have the same amount of space between them so it becomes irregular.

>>8592417
Check out the last LL thread in the archive, there was a bunch of discussion at the beginning about these.

[Anonymous No.8592466]

Laser-anon strikes again. I've been working on laser cutting lace out of satin for LL stuff but my scallops aren't quite right, there's a lot of variation in sizes and colors and start of hte school year has kept me from experimenting more. You can get the same effect with a hot knife and stencil it will just be time consuming.

It seems a lot of people are wanting to do the wedding outfits maybe the print on the inside of the skirt would be a good idea?

The roomwear is from gekkou on taobao but it's sold out now (cached page is here http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:zv_38scyeOcJ:item.taobao.com/item.htm%3Fid%3D42311093296%26ns%3D1%26abbucket%3D0+&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk).).

There's still some floating around on the taobao secondhand sales if you want that particular one. And I'm in the process of making the police outfit now.

I completely understand wanting some reassurance that any effort you put into making prints would be compensated! If you're interested in doing some on a commission-type basis, do you have a website/e-mail I can contact you on?

>>8592370
So first is the bad/good news, I suppose? As far as the Specially Made Borscht Eli goes, I literally just finished doing the tiny fixes I wanted to make when I found that this print was already on spoonflower.
http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/4410231

It was definitely designed to be a circle skirt, so I'm going to hold off on ordering proofs of anything from this card unless anyone on the thread or tumblr (I'll probably make a post about wanting to make prints there too) would prefer my print to that one. Either way, pic attached is my finished version along with the grey stripe. It was easy and fun to make, so I'm not too bummed haha.

>>8597603
And first of all, thank you so much for that image! Things like that definitely help my process, especially for things more complicated than stripes. Most of you could probably have guessed this, but print design is 90% tracing other images until they look nicer.

Anyway, I haven't tried doing print commissions before but I'm definitely open to it! I made a side gmail account if anyone would like to get in touch with me for any reason, and you can also get to me pretty easily/quickly on twitter @FunnyGirlTM even if you just want to ask for easier prints.

Nozomi and Hanayo's legs look kind of weird, but overall this is pretty cute!

>Honoka - Skittle
>Rin - Cornet

My Maki wig came pre-curled, but the curls flipped outward, so I was trying to re-curl them inward.

I thought it would be a fun thing to do since the con I'm going to is relatively small! And since my con will happen during the Eli event in November I might print off some of those cards and throw it into the mix!

Really useful choice of image, anon.

How would people suggest I go about making the ghost? I feel like a plush would be easiest, but not look particularly good. Worbla over a styrofoam ball?

[Anonymous No.8621592]

>>8621426
It would be hard to get that squishy amount of volume with a material like worbla. Carved and finished expanding foam over a styrofoam core might be a better idea if you want something solid.

Gulls, how do I manage to join a group? All I want in life right now is to become a member of a LL group. I'm not picky, I'll do whatever costume. I just want weeb trash Liver friends and I want to cosplay with them. Are you in a group? How did you meet? Do you have any advice for me?

Different anon, but maybe you could join its FB group and post asking if anyone else is cosplaying from LL and wants to form a group. Or use tags on tumblr or something. Wherever that community is at.

Personally I happened to see a post from a cosplay acquaintance saying she was cosplaying from LL with a few others, but wished they had a full group, so I just commented asking if they still needed an [insert favorite girl here]. It hasn't come together entirely yet, but it's a start.

Honestly if you really want to do it, I would just go ahead and ask even if you're not very confident. You won't get invited to join in just by sitting around and hoping.

Oh shit I didn't realise I had to create the lace pattern itself. I've never done anything like that before. Doesn't all LL cards use the same 3edged scallops, though? It's basically the same for several of the outfits I've seen with it.

[Anonymous No.8625662]

Maki anon that was not keen with the outfits that group chose from like a thread ago.

Maybe this should go in the vent thread but I have a lot of negative feelings towards my Love Live group so it is kind of related. They cannot decide on one dance anymore, though we had that sorted for a long time and we decided on the Cyber outfits a week ago that would have light up fans to match the dance.
However, I got a message today saying how three of them secretly changed the outfits so now it's Happy Maker because they do not have the money anymore. First it was disagreements over Kaguya and the outfits and now it's just frustrating how they keep changing their minds without consulting everyone in the group.

I hate how I live in a country that has no other LL groups and I think I am going to cosplay Maki alone from now on.

Anybody else using Love Live as a reason to lose weight? I really want to cosplay Nozomi but, well, I'm pretty goddamn fat. So I'm losing weight not just for the obvious reasons, but also because just for even one day I'd love to cosplay her.
Not Nozomi because she's considered the 'chubby' idol for some reason, she's just my favorite and I feel like I can get away with being tall more cosplaying her then anyone else.

Maybe a bit off topic but why do you like her? Only recently she really grew on me and beat away all the other top girls in my personal tier list. I can't even quite place it, she just seems so pleasant and isn't naive/"pure" which you often see with these things and often feels fake.

Also pic related is the outfit I'd love to cosplay the most

I'm in a few right now and god it's getting so stressful, but if you were in my area I would join you no problem.
I saw people posting in local groups looking for girls early on and nabbed the only characters I'm comfortable cosplaying. That and my good friends have been into it since 2012 so they automatically let me in on their plans.

>>8625662
WHY are 99 percent of Love Live cosplayers so god damned lazy. I have a huge pool of outfits that I can make at a high/intermediate level and every group is like 'so we're buying outfits k thnx' and... it just ends up looking sloppy.

Me too! I want to do Non-tan justice, so hopefully by February. I'm using MFP religiously.

Nozomi is my favorite partially because of how she looks, but she honestly cares about every other member of the group. There's something about her that just draws me to her. She is caring, even if a bit pervy and weird at times.

[Anonymous No.8625863]

I think a lot of us like Nozomi because she seems the most like a friend you would actually have. Most everyone else just fits into a typical anime trope of tsundere, attention whore, hyper spazz, cat girl, stick up the ass, shy girl etc.

[Anonymous No.8625944]

>>8625702
Aw that outfit is adorable I love it! I at first was a big Kotori fan however I only like how Kotori looks I honestly can't stand her voice and her personality can be a bit too bland for me. As the anime went on and as I watched season 2 Nozomi became my top girl I really like her personality and her pervy side her friendship with Eli is very similar to mine with my bff.
I also highly enjoy Eli because of her Russian roots, I am also Russian :D

To be fair, lots of groups buy so they can match. If you find 9 people who can all get fabric in/from the same place, and can all sew to a high standard, that's fantastic, but rare. Two of my friends did the season 1 opening outfit, made their own for the group, the others were a mix of bought and made, and none of the reds matched, they looked a mess.

A bit off topic but I've seen discussions about Nozomi's washi-washi and how it's translated in the game (or rather, avoided)

Apparently it bothers some people since it's basically Nozomi grabbing the boobs of the other girls. What do you guys think though? Personally I'm not bothered at all by it and I don't think it's healthy if someone is extremely bothered by some girl saying she'll grab boobs.

[Anonymous No.8634202]

>>8634188
Personally I don't like Nozomi's boob-grabbing because you just know there are some sweaty weirdo girls/landwhales out there watching LL and thinking it's okay to go around grabbing tits, and will then do it at a con to some poor 14 year old. If it was a dude, it wouldn't be okay. That's what makes it dodgy for me.

Didn't think about the irl part, but still I don't think you can really compare a same-aged female friend doing it and a dude. Neither are in the right obviously but I do consider one worse then the other.

Cringey would be a good description, I simply don't mind or even ever really thought about it. I think it's one of those things that works in anime only like how verbal ticks would also seem extremely retarded irl.

>>8634405
I think the key word there is "friend". I was talking about strangers at cons, not your cosplay friend, like say some Nozomi spots a Honoka they've never met before at a con and decides a boob grope is totally okay because it's in character.

[Anonymous No.8634428]

>>8634427
Sorry for the confusion, I was a bit unclear, I meant friend in the sense that I've seen people do the "if it was a dude' comparison about Nozomi in the anime before. Not the cosplaying part.

Admittedly I used to do this same sort of thing to my friends when I was in high school. It was more of a pain inflicting thing though, like a titty twister but without going for the nips. I feel like thats what they were going for with nozomi's behavior. She always did it to coax the girls into doing something, not just to tit grab.

Are you new to anime? I personally didn't care because I've been watching anime forever and usually the boo-grab girl does this at a hot spring while shouting OMG MIYUKI CHAN YOUR BOOBIES GOT SO BIG OVER THE SUMMER. So by comparison Nozomi is pretty tame and I didn't really care.

Except as batshit crazy as congoers are most of them will "glomp" before they will boob grab. And most con creep dudes are too spaghetti to get anywhere near boobs. And most girls know better than to grab a fellow girls boobs. Maybe they'll make the "grabby" hands for pics but unless someone has stories from Love Live meets gone wrong.
