Do you have any traditions for when you're walking on your cosplays?
Listen to certain music? Eat good food at the completion for celebration?
I always watch the extended edition of all the lord of the rings movies as I'm working on my cosplays.
(I also lay down, try not to cry, but cry anyway)
I just blast music and pound beers until I start making mistakes then start cleanup
I like to watch either the media the cosplay comes from, or something similar if it's a manga/video game. I marathoned My Hero Academia when working on Mina Ashido and watched Brokeback Mountain for Johnny Joestar, for example.

Every time I make everything last minute right before the con. :^)
And then I get panic attacks.

>have you ever choreographed a song? If so, what advice do you have regarding choreographing?
Currently I'm trying to plan Snow in "I Love You" with nothing more than this video:

Since I'm a beginner at this, I figured to go with an easy song. Plus it would be posted around winter so I should have enough time to practice.
Recently introduce a group to this thread at a local con. They are part of Vancouvers groups

the choreography for 7th sisters is always so boring. is it because the girls can't dance so they dumbed-down the moves or something? or did they hire a shit choreographer because they didn't expect a mobile game to get so popular? lately the idol game has really changed and you're going to need to do more than an eight count box step to keep people interested. it's a shame too because they're so many girls in nanastar the possibilities for really cool dances are endless.
i'm sure you can come up with something a lot more challenging and intricate anon
So when I first got into cosplay and cons I remember people seeing the masquerade as a super big deal and that people would be talking about the results all throughout con.
Flash forward to now and I see myself and others calmly dismissing the event. Now I wonder is this overall submissiveness toward the masquerade a byproduct of my generation getting older or is the community overall caring less about it just like how people in general are way less enamored by the Oscars now as they did before.
>>9583833
honestly I think its more the hassle?
usually the line is pretty long, if you dont get a good seat you're screwed for seeing the costumes in good detail, and really it takes forever. You gotta get through the entries, the side show while waiting for the judges to pick winners can take forever, and then the barrage of awards.
People dont talk about the winners and results as much after the fact because not as many people find it worthy to go anymore.
I say this as some one who routinely enters the masq- and I can see why from an audience perspective it isnt as engaging. Generally the house is pretty cleared out by the time awards come out.
Its more because a lot of the time, its just a circle jerk of who is friends with who or who is most popular.
Its the same thing with contests.
No one cares because a lot of the time- they know that they wont win.
Blame people using cosplay to get rich/famous and making it sour for everyone else.
My main problem with masquerade is that the MCs are often super cringy and make me want to walk out.
I'm a cosplayer and I was wondering how do I meet and set up photoshoots with photographers that go to the same cons I'm going to? Does anyone have suggestions or advice for this?
>>9570716
I'm actually wondering about this too.
I'd probably say use Facebook to organize/create the event and recruit people for it.
What con are you going to/who are you cosplaying as?
best cam for upskirts lads
>>9570716
Could always try asking on this board in threads relating to the con you go to.
Last thread is in autosage. >>9454365
Post cosplays, wips, and refs.
pod looks really good
why
Last thread is gone.
Anyone got some Stand cosplays to share?
Dumping some VA content to get the thread going.
Looking for inspo for doctor or patient coords. Any kind of guro/doctor/patient lolita would be fantastic. Going to dump the very little that I have.
I know there's a menhera thread up but I'm looking for distinctly lolita. Menhera accessories that fit the bill would be totally welcome too. I just need more shit, my inspo folder is practically empty.

Why not just use the catalog? There's going to be new threads in the meantime anyway.
How do you feel about wearing toned down black lolita to a funeral?
>>9598788
idk sometimes threads are hard to find even with the catalog (especially if they put the title in the name field).
Also,why not, it's OP's time.

>offer her the D to cheer her up
>she gets mad
She turned 17 this year, so what's the problem?
I love space and sci-fi but I haven't seen many coords or prints with that style. Doesn't even have to be lolita.

Kita is around the corner, who's liver is ready?
Actually really hype. It is the highlight of this britfags year
>>9594394
A week to go and I have stuff still to do on my cosplays. Should be able to manage it though.
Do you get free brekkies in Bluebell or do you have to make it all yourself?
Share pics of horrible or insane shooped pics.
What are you thoughts on excessive photoshop in cosplay and/or lolita? Is it fine because it's part of the "art" or is it unrealistic and uncanny?
Have you ever met an excessive photoshopper in person?
Would finding out your favorite cosplayer/lolita used a lot of photoshop impact your view on them?
How much editing do you do to your photos?
Please use greentext for questions like that. Anyways.
>What are you thoughts on excessive photoshop in cosplay and/or lolita? Is it fine because it's part of the "art" or is it unrealistic and uncanny?
It's uncanny and stupid.
>Have you ever met an excessive photoshopper in person?
Not that I can recall.
>Would finding out your favorite cosplayer/lolita used a lot of photoshop impact your view on them?
Yes. But it's usually fairly obvious when people shoop so they wouldn't be my favorite to begin with.
>How much editing do you do to your photos?
Just filters.
I really hate the amount of shoop Chinese lolitas use. It's uncanny valley and yet they're the ones who get the most praise.
>What are you thoughts on excessive photoshop in cosplay and/or lolita? Is it fine because it's part of the "art" or is it unrealistic and uncanny?
It's Ok for special effects and basic editing but when the cosplay only looks good due to photoshop or when the person looks totally different IRL then it pisses me off
>Have you ever met an excessive photoshopper in person?
Yes and it was hilarious.
>Would finding out your favorite cosplayer/lolita used a lot of photoshop impact your view on them?
Yes. It's always a big let down to discover a cosplayer I liked used tons of editing to make their costumes better or overly edit their bodies.
>How much editing do you do to your photos?
Standard beautycam/meitu filters
>What are you thoughts on excessive photoshop in cosplay and/or lolita? Is it fine because it's part of the "art" or is it unrealistic and uncanny?
Being 100% honest: people give zero fucks about realism. They want pretty pictures and that's it. There is a limited amount of extremely beautiful and photogenic people in the world, and even supermodels are shopped to hell and back in ads, so why not?
>Have you ever met an excessive photoshopper in person?
Met an internet friend and she was about 40 pounds heavier than her instagram photos. I was really shocked. I didn't recognize her and felt a little bad for that.
>Would finding out your favorite cosplayer/lolita used a lot of photoshop impact your view on them?
A lot of my favorites use pretty obvious special effects photoshop, so I suppose they look really different in real life too.
>How much editing do you do to your photos?
I have extremely dark skin around my eyes because of my facial structure. So untill I get surgery I wipe out any trace of dark circles on Meitu so that I don't look like a skull. That's as extreme as I get.
