/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Room booked. Cosplays not decided or start. I'm always in a rut and give up and flake out on my own and prioritize commissions or nothing at all. Trying to change that and make decisions in the next week and start getting productive. I probably won't take commissions so I can focus and get a competition-quality cosplay done for myself.

Anyone else in crisis mode with cosplay? I need miracles to happen in time management over the next 2.5 weeks.I swear to god I hope I can at least get Viktor done this weekend I will still have a good 1.5 week or about 5-6 off days before AKON to finish a whole second costume.

Go through the bottom links for the outfits.

The expression doesn't bother me as much as the fact that that costume had a detailed official construction break down of that outfit, and she still made it inaccurate as fuck lmao

Not what I said, at all. Nor was I saying don't wear dance belts ever or supportive garments. If you're not going to read past the first sentence before jumping to conclusions on context, don't bother.

>>9463281
You literally did not read anything I said based on your story as an example. Re-read or delete please.

>>9461506
Yeah, uh, sorry but dance belts isn't the go to for everything. Because most likely if you're openly urging dudes to wear dancebelts, you have no idea what they actually do. Dudes will have a bulge, period. Dance belts don't fucking tuck your dick. You're not going to see vein details in a fucking VKS, it's not paper thin untextured spandex where supportive underwear matters to smooth shit out. This dance belt shit is getting out of control. I'm all for them/other proper supportive smoothing undergarments for men and women, but people are crying 'DANCE BELTS' when they can just tell someone has a penis because they're not Ken Doll flat. Also, Kawaii Bro is a low effort body-bait fad cosplayer anyhow, no need to discuss him here, he gets the attention he wants.

Those boots are great if you're a ham-beast with 20" calves.

>new designs
>literal shit mundane streetwear
Uh I guess. But yeah, I love the anime, I love the characters. I love Viktor's Stay Close to Me outfit the most, so I'm glad the Shingeki No Bahamut designs exist to give me a way to cosplay a less attempted and more detailed/creative version of it.

>>9457045
... I'm all for crossovers and genderbends but this is.... not making any sense at all and just leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth. Yuck.

>>9454519
Aw boo. Yeah, I have to be in Granblue Fantasy for pretty much all day Saturday, so I just don't want to attempt a costume change to make it to the meetup. I'm sure people will still know I'm Viktor on Friday so surely I'll be visible enough to bond with other random Yuri fans haha

How far? uhhh... Well I'm drafting tomorrow and sunday to get a mockup done, then rushing to get all my fabrics and such bought/ordered. I sent my wig back to Arda so I can get credit to exchange for Light Grey which is part of the May restock (damn backorders, fuck you other Viktor cosplayers). I'm sure once I get started I'll move along quickly. Gran is going to be the painful long drawn out costume haha

>>9452111
I think he's twisting words around so this is where it gets confusing which cons he's banned from competing at and not that he's actually banned from attending. I'm almost certain he's banned from competing at A-KON at this point.... but then again, Luxe Dolls keep sandbagging between Afest & AKON every fucking year now.

>>9451377
Honestly I don't have a good outlook for the guy already, but really wouldn't mind seeing the uncensored pics. lmao

>>9445686
Ugh, I love King Leo and would love to cosplay him but I'm 6'1 and think it'd be so bizarre proportion wise to try and portray him haha. His outfits would be so fun to construct.

Anon, just tell them you work with your male partner and only shoot girls that will sit on that dudes feet while he live streams from a separate camera on the floor that captures them at questionable angles and the partner definitely doesn't have a weird fetish with his disgusting feet touching you. :>

>>9450136
I agree. I think he can be cocky out of confidence, we all have an ego of some sort regarding what we know we can do. However, he's been a really cool guy to socialize with really anyone at cons, and even put up with me drunk hitting on him the very first time I met him 2 years ago. I've hung out with him and talked to him at a couple cons/and an out of con mutual friend thing. I think his problem is he's also friends with a lot of mid-high tier cosplayers that actually are complete ego shitbags. I've had some bad experiences with our mutuals in 2016 and it really made me step away heavily from social media/cosplay/conventions except for AKON over it. Wasn't Carl's fault though.

Goddamnit girls, stop telling everyone to learn how to sew themselves. Nobody will commission those of us trying to make a living off this.

That's not me? I'm pretty sure anyone can use a plugin to see who is samefagging.

Also, so funny, years later since I was active on here and people are so bitter about people holding themselves accountable for what they say online and not hiding behind anonymous posts. lmao

>>9446886
Oh shit I didn't realize AFest was the same weekend as AKON this year.

>>9446726
Nobody is saying you can't wear a cosplay again. Just don't sandbag contests.

Ugh, kinda in panic. Not sure the 'Victory Blonde' grey/platinum blend wig I got from Arda would be okay, and now blue steele's in light grey are fucking backordered. Second guessing my choices ;_; Did any Viktor's pull off a grey-blonde wig?

>>9444929
lmao a shuttle from the 10 mile away cheap hotels. Good luck man.

>>9445389
I've actually never ice skated in my life, which kinda saddens me, but I'm not very coordinated and can barely rollerblade without seriously injuring myself like a dumbass. However, I've always really loved ice skater's outfits since I was a kid, so it's kinda a childhood fantasy come true to cosplay an iceskater finally haha

>>9445461
Oooh nice! This makes me hype for doing the other Viktor design even more now. Glad to see others like the SNB versions too :)

>>9443970
So, if you're coming from Houston, obviously you're going to do a hotel. But there's this horrible middle ground when you're in fucking Garland of whether it's worth to book a hotel 5+ miles from a convention center if you're just gonna have to drive back and forth each day, regardless, and it's not convenient to get back to during the day without getting in a car or Uber. That's why we're irritated.

Also, THREE HOTELS are in walking distance, they were COMPLETELY BOOKED or on hold. So, yes, that's why we're bitching about them being MILES away.

On that note, Hilton's holds on hotels for hope cleared. I said fuck it and booked for the $199/night rate. Btw, I snagged that last Thursday opening, sorry dudes.
