I really like how these came out.

How can I get into touhou? I love the designs, but I only found out about it through cgl. There are so many games... where should a noob start? Is there an FAQ or something? All the cosplays here are beautiful!

>>7690149

The TV tropes page has some good advice. Be warned, the games are notoriously hard as fuck.

Torrent the games. There's one floating around that comes pre-packaged and english patched for 6-13 and the two Touhouvania games. Warning, 14 was parched by the wiki and their shitty auto-patcher. I still play it untranslated.

Try starting with 13 or 7. Those two are among the easier ones.

WIKI url: http://en.touhouwiki.net
I guess welcome to the fandom and enjoy your stay?

into YouTube search bar copy/paste these terms:
?? <-filter for touhou stuff in general
reddevils500a <-fan animations of great variety
fantasy kaleidoscope <-as close as touhou is coming to an official anime
Nitori Kappashiro <-touhou inspired music
bishamontenreturn <-more touhou inspired music

I got into the fandom through the fan made music on youtube and it's still an important aspect for me. Also my background music of choice for cosplay work. Can almost identify each character by their theme now.

NSFW but, https://danbooru.donmai.us/ is piled high with fan art

Agree with 13 for easiest, but imo 8 is easier than 7 in the lower difficulties. Any of those three are okay though. 7 and 8, Perfect Cherry Blossom and Imperishable Night respectively, have English patches and are easier to get working on computers though, and have the more popular characters.I personally got into Touhou through music arranges as well.

The best thing about touhou is that fan material and interpretations are welcome, so cosplaying it is often more about personal preference rather than accuracy. That being said, it suits pretty much all levels of cosplayers since designs range from very simple to very complex, not even including alternate outfits by fanartists.

Welcome~
Music has to be the biggest draw for me.
Look up FELT, Foreground Eclipse, or OrangeJam for remixes. Orange Jam is all English vocals too (vocalist was born and raised in Cali).
There's way to much music tbh, and every 6 months at Comiket, it keeps growing.

Thanks alot. I feel most confortable in her because she's such a mix of emotions haha
she's not really hard to cosplay in a way that instead of cosplaying, say Flandre, you have to put most of your time into the wings, vs Mokou it's just a bunch of little pieces like the seals on the pants, the bows, etc.

Done:
Ran Yakumo <- first
Momiji <- Kourindou tengu version
Working on:
Yuugi classic and MMD kimono versions

Sounds like I need to make a tutorial or something, as I've been asked a number of times how I did my tails.
However, I only have a few wip in progress pics right now, but need to disassemble my tails for maintenance soon so maybe I'll take some detailed pics to illustrate the inner workings and framework.

I don't have much of a problem with the smaller bows, so they aren't in this picture.

>>7739736
The Touhou comm is very accepting to any kind of fan. I have only played a few games and I sure suck at them. I still love Touhou though, because the fandom is so big so there is always something you can enjoy. I love looking at fanart and listening to the music, and occassionally play a little
Is there any specific character you are interested in?

>>7739443
Yeah, I can see why you'd want to make changes, it's really more of a hat currently.

Altering it looks like it would be pretty straightforward cause it resembles a pillow case in construction.
You'd have to remove the binding in the middle then flatten the whole thing out.
probably have to nip some of the stitching on one end and turn it inside out.
From there I'd just make a simply stitch close to, but not on the outer edge of the middle ribbon. Only stitch three sides of the rectangle.
cut off the fabric around your new stitch, then pull your bow right-side out again. tuck the cut edges of the opening in a bit and stitch the bow closed.
pinch the top/bottom of the bow together and rebind it in the middle again.

I made you a crappy picture 'cause I'm terribad at explaining things

Debating whether or not to cosplay Yoshika at an upcoming con. Main problem is I'm a guy, and far from androgynous. Hoping best case scenario I just get to hang with some other Toohoos at the con. Not sure if I would end up just off putting though.

Not the one you replied to but a word of advice, that 3 episode long fanmade anime is in my opinion shit, they jump from topic to topic missing everything.
Best advice to those new to fandom would be to listen various song covers and search the wiki of characters .
Than move on to the games.

I agree on the makeup. I'm terrible with it.

I had a rig under my vest, and initially was gonna tighten the vest and have it sit on the outside, but the size of the battery pack helped it fill out so I was actually able to hold it under the vest without it looking too weird due to the extra room in the vest.
I can post a photo later if you're interested, when I'm not mobile.

How do you think she made the scythe handle?

>>7763630
The width of it makes me think it could be PVC pipe. Fill it with sand fresh from the oven and bend it into shape, or fill with sand and then use a heat gun to mold it.

But that curve looks like more than I'd think a PVC pipe could handle.
Maybe some type of sturdy hose-like material.

PVC pipe can handle some pretty tight curves; pack with sand and use heat gun to slowly persuade it into desired curve, just heat it evenly

Can I have som Rin inspiration? She will be one of my next cosplays.

Also would love to see some Touhouvania cosplays
