Its hard to do because bald caps are either shitty looking or expensive and most people don't want to shave their head.

I wouldn't because it's a hard look to pull off, you have to be super beautiful facially
This scene cracked me up though

Bald is odd because generally speaking only women who are traditionally beautiful can "pull off" the look in most people's eyes, and these same women would still look better with hair anyway. (i.e., Charlize Theron.)

Very few cosplayers will ever try to emulate bald characters as being bald; the vast majority of Furiosa cosplayers will still have short pixie cuts, most Aang gender bends will suddenly have long hair (without even the front part shaved like airbender women usually do), Eleven cosplayers will always do her blonde wig instead of the bald version. There are TONS of bald female characters across comics and sci-fi, but they're almost all very obscure or else aliens that would take a lot of body paint or even prosthetics, like the Asari from Mass Effect (if you count fleshy fronds as baldness, anyway.)

There's also the problem where a lot of people like to emulate a character and look at least somewhat the part. Hair is very recognizable. People will often remember others for their hairstyles (cut, colour, etc) other than their faces; a wig is way easier to do than a bald cap, and having no hair draws SO much attention to the face. If you don't really have the face for a character, it'll be a lot more obvious if you're bald than if you have a recognizable hairstyle.

If you still want the same feeling, though, maybe an undercut on your female character instead, OP?

I'm doing inktober, but I'm not really using it as a marketing opportunity or anything. I just love the excuse to play with brush pens for a month, and getting the chance to do some traditional art when all I ever do for work & AA is digital.

Do colored acrylic charms sell much worse than clear? I kind of dig Zap's frosted acrylics.

I don't go into hours and hours of work on the cosplays but I like to do something that includes my wife and my daughter when we go to shows.
Simple family fun.

Moon Bunny is my all time favorite, I've been thinking about this candy house necklace for a long time. Sucks that she's in Russia and her stuff takes forever to get here, but it's always worth it.

>>9178004
Seconding this, I love Cute Moon Bunny accessories, I have a hair clip and necklace from them and they're so well made and adorable. Takes about a month for it to arrive, though.

Kawaii Goods is alright, I only like the bear hat and the cookie clothes. The rest is just a clusterfuck.

>some friends see me in burando
>now they only contact me if they want money


This happens way too often,

>buy secondhand clothes from a girl in need to help her out, we become friends
>she learns i wear burando and is impressed, we stop talking for a while (unrelated)
>suddenly she calls me a week later (she hasn't even shipped the clothes yet) saying how she has bpd
>comes crying to me saying she can't afford medication anymore and needs me to send $100 asap (keep in mind I bought some
>pretty much tell her "good luck with that"
>she tells me last time she was off her medication she tried killing herself and she told me she was absolutely positive she'd try so again unless she gets the money to get medication
>pretty much tell her "good luck with that"

the other story i cant mention because I know the person lurks /cgl/.. but if they realize what they did I just want them to know thats why i stopped hanging out. your constant asking me for money wasn't cool.
