Facebook fan pages, selling prints, and now patreon. What do you think the next money grabbing, attention whoring trend will be in the cosplay community?

I'm surprised there aren't more cosplayers getting that twitch money.
Like, I know some twitch sluts "cosplay" casually, but what I mean is the other way around.
ok lets talk about the worst con of the year. I heard they got misako aoki as the lolita guest @ pgh comm - good luck and don't fuck it up...
What makes you say it's the worst con of the year?
>>8886317
From what I've seen on the lolita side of things, they want $50 for the tea party and misako's not even going to be at it. Which is weird cause it's happening at the same location that the winter ILD tea party was held which was only $30 and it had the same number of tickets available.
On the con side of things, I kind of agree with >>8886323. What makes it the worst con of the year? I haven't been able to go to it since 2010 and back then it seem ok, not amazing or anything but a decent little con. What's changed?
>>8886317
it is a small con that is still growing but I've attended for quite a few years and I can't see how it is the "worst con of the year" at all.
you sound bitter
My reaction folder got corrupted, can we please have a lolita reaction thread?
>>8894030
In honor of Walter let's have a thread dedicated to our animal friends.
Post Animals in cosplay and cosplays that include animals
I can't get enough bunnies.
>>8891748
awwwww
The site where I usually buy is pinky paradise, but I wanted to see other options and to know where do you buy yours.
I buy mine mainly from Uniqso and Honeycolor
Guess this will be the next Lens thread?
I don't want this thread to die, as I'm also interested. I only know of pinky paradise because they usually sell the best ones for cosplay and general wear imo
I always buy at solution-lens.
The website isn't pretty, but the lenses and selection are great.
Also the best deals and prices I've encountered so far.
So we're bashing photographers again.
Cosplayers have a shit fit when people tell them what to cosplay. But, photographers have to shoot every single cosplayer, regardless of interest.
Discuss this bullshit.
From a photographer's perspective, I sort of get not wanting to shoot something/someone. Photographers are free to photograph whatever or whoever they want. If you want to take pictures exclusively of assholes, you can do that.
Personally, I really don't want to spend hours of my life shooting and editing someone that put zero effort into their cosplay. I really don't care if my models are gorgeous, just as long as they're trying. As long there's some effort put in, I can go from there.
>>8887363
Man, fuck Misa on Wheels. If I want to shoot only the most gorgeous, nude cosplay girls 24 hours a day, then I'm "awesome" too.
Photogs really need to come together and stick up for ourselves like the cosplayers do.
>>8887363
We already have "specialty" photographers pooping up who choose to photograph cosplayers of dark skin only and even they have standards of what to shoot
>$4.99
Would you buy this?
>>8885759
>that fabric
I wouldn't spit on it.
Look like Halloween costumes, but yeah, it's $5 so I might consider it if i could flip through it first. Might be good for a laugh and a random tip or two could actually be good.
>>8885759
>dat random Jane
is Tarzan that popular?
This girl will represent Germany at the ESC this year and is advertised as "an anime-fan who loves to stitch her own clothes".
I'm not familiar with the effort needed for cosplay, but she looks cheap for me. On a 0-10 scale, how well-made are they?

>>8885279
She has a really nice voice, but could she please leave her weeb self back-stage?
Changing little things on a cosplay to make it more modest? Yay or nay?
The OP pic is the only clear example I could find, but I mean stuff like; making a skirt a bit longer, or instead of thigh high stockings, just a full panty hose.
>>8885103
If it makes you feel more comfortable, then absolutely do it.
I agree with >>8885173, being comfortable is pretty important.
Not exactly related to modesty but... I cosplay a character that wears knee socks, but I hate my knees so I usually wear over the knee ones. Is it technically innacurate? Yes. But it makes me feel better and more confident.
Anime Conji's gone, but Hanadoki's still here this year. Any seagulls planning on going to San Diego in March?
I live about 10 minutes away so I'll definitely be stopping by on at least one of the days if not all of them depending on my work schedule. I spoke with the staff at ALA, they seem very kind and have a lot of optimism towards the convention so I'm actually pretty excited to see how it all pans out.
Of course.
Yep
Any artists in the alley gonna be selling Osomatsu-san shit? I'm looking to blow a bunch of money on that stuff senpai
Also I'm gonna be cosplaying Totty so matsu cosplayers hmu too
Local Jo-Ann's is closing so I got massive amounts of some kid's/character prints on the cheap. What are some interesting projects I can make with obnoxiously patterned fabric?
Pic related, I'm now the proud owner of way too much of this.
Hmm maybe make some frilly "lolita" dresses with them and sell them to fandom itas on storenvy or etsy? people will actually buy that shit.
also i dont think this needed its own thread, should we make this a Jo-ann's general?
>>8883244
Please don't do this.
Why don't you just make fandom merchf? You could make little pillows or something, or design regular normalfag dresses. I can see something like a sleeveless dress with a circle skirt made out of this fabric being popular. Pencil cases, totebags.
For the love of god just don't make any lolita shit with it. Some people may buy ita shit, but I don't think it will be worth it in the end for you. You'd have a funner time just making objects out of it and again, selling it like fandom merch. Aprons, kids clothing, pillowcases, pajamas if you have the right fabric for that, etc. That kind of shit will sell faster than fake lolita clothing.
Jo-anns thread then?
I got myself some primo fabric from Jo-anns the other day, soft white minky and some baby-blanket tier purple and white polkadots.
I also got Simplicity 8034, gonna make some cute unicorn plushes, was thinking of making some animal crossing characters.
Hey /cgl/, post your favorite/worst pokemon cosplays. (Gijinka or human, doesn't matter. Just don't post the Ash Ketchum last minute con cosplay please.)
While it may not be perfect, I thought my friend's Lugia was totally awesome.
Friends don't post friends on 4chan.

This desu senpai
Dump some cosplays
Post inspo, discuss, chill and share.
Finally one of these!

When I cosplay, I usually want to cosplay from a live action source. However, there is an expectation that you should look like the actor in order to do this well. What do you think?
Also general live-action cosplay thread. Dumping Hannibal cosplays because that is my jam right now.
>>8874276

>>8874287
This is an example of the problem cosplaying live action. The cosplayers have talent but it seems off because they don't have faces similar to the characters. When cosplaying from animated sources, you can get away with making the costume match the source, but for live action that doesn't have iconic costumes, it seems to be all about facial resemblence to the actor.
In honor of Street Fighter V's release lets have a SF cosplay thread
