Time for a dream cosplay thread! Post the fancy/ difficult cosplays that you're working towards, the obscure cosplays that you can't get a group for, your favorite designs, characters that you love but don't suit you, or other dream cosplays.

To someone with sewing experience perhaps not. I showed a cousin who's done tailoring a cosplay and she instantly knew how to make the whole thing. Wig included. I on the other hand get stumped on the barest of basics. I understand your point of view, but please try to see ours.

>> No.8991892

>>8991884
Okay sure but the whole point is that you have to try before you can say it's hard. That's a beginner project at best, if anything it's a good project to jump into.

I jumped straight into sewing cosplays and taught myself how to use a sewing machine. My friend did a joint cosplay with me and made her whole outfit from scratch, when the only thing she'd ever sewn before was a pillow in textiles class 4 years beforehand.

Google some tutorials and get practicing, otherwise you're just delaying something super simple for no reason

Honestly, ballet poses aren't that hard (although unless you're a ballerina who is practicing a lot, you should be trying anything en pointe). It'd be the same as any other pose with any other character. Study pics of the character in conjunction with real ballerinas. You could do it anon!

It might be worthwhile to pick up some cheap fabric to work with. Muslin is good, and sometimes fabric stores like Jo-ann's have smaller scraps of fabric from the ends of the rolls at a discount with some of the clearance stuff.

>>8992035
Don't do this. I'm no ballerina but there's been threads here before specifically dedicated to this topic, where girls who have taken ballet have stated you absolutely should not attempt ballet poses without the proper training to get it right because you could seriously injure yourself.

You could get canvas or leather ballet shoes and sew ribbons instead of elastic. Leather holds its shape a little better and would probably look more like pointe shoes than canvas does.

Pic related, you'd sew the ribbons on where the elastics start, then not attach the ends and tie them around your legs instead.

Otherwise, I'd look and see what other cosplayers have done.

But any ballet shoe won't be fun to walk around in for a whole day because that's just not what they're designed for.

I'm going to attempt her next year and should have time and resources to do it, I think I can do it but I'm already stressed just looking at her.

I'm planning to do a hajime ichinose cosplay before that though so I think it'll give me the experience with materials and lights i'll need on a smaller, easier scale before attempting Mercy.

On the plus side, when I do find people interested they're very well invested or passionate about it! But I agree it's def not for everybody, and LL is much easier to get into. As a fan of both, I'm just grateful for more cute girls and outfits though!

Are you able to tan at all, or do you just burn? No one can realistically shame you for cosplaying with a natural tan unless they have an entire kitchen set firmly lodged up their anus.

I'm a light medium complexion normally but I'm half Middle Eastern so I tan very easily. I do characters with a range of skin tones, with whatever my skin currently looks like.

No one has grounds to ride someone's ass about being dark for a dark-skinned character and light-skinned for others if they're not using makeup/paint to achieve the shade. No sense in avoiding sunlight just because you might rile some internet kiddo who thinks the biggest race-related social issue is light-skinned people getting suntans.

I would feel kind of odd to make this cosplay and leave my skin as white as it is since looking like the character is really important to me. I'm really pale and tanning isn't really an option for me since I'll just burn and get all red... But Casca is much lighter skinned in the new movies (pic related) so I just might do this cosplay go with the new look. I guess using a bit of sun powder isn't really blackfacing since many girl do it everyday to look tanned... I'm from Finland and here making your skin darker for cosplay isn't that big of a deal (yet). I know few people who judge it but I haven't heard that anyone have had any troubles when going to con when using a darker make up.

Anyway, thanks for the cheers, anons! Maybe I'll have to courage to make this cosplay and forget the tumblr opinions. For me this is about looking like the character that I like and that's it. I think it's just a good thing there are darker skinned characters that get attention and that people find awesome and pretty.
