She's so enthused about lolita and it's killing me that she made literally no improvements on their second coord.

im not religious at all but it reallly rustles my
jimmies when people talk about shit they don't understand. theres like millions of Mormons and the couple hundred that practice polygamy are not considered "mormons" God it's really simple, even my athiest ass can understand it
also i doubt any of them would get into lolita since they have to dress in literal potato sacks

>>9362671
wuuuuut no way there are like fuckin practicing mormons in the comm? are they active at meets? can you name them??

>>9362687
Me and two other girls are in the same ward. I'm not as devout to the religion but it is my preference for faith. I'm not outing us though.

You have to be 18+ to be here

It bothers me that people are so entirely unfazed with using photos that are actually under a license which allows editing/reposting, or at the very least sourcing the photos. None of these that I've seen has any sort of source link for the photos that are NOT of the cosplayer themselves.

Also, not something that lends itself well to people who have mainly/exclusively selfies and hallway photos.

>>9350234
I tend to see these more as fandom edits that borrow cosplayers as faceclaims than actually cosplay focused posts. I agree that >>9350239 is irritating, but I don't see it as much worse than making fandom playlists that people can download or gif sets from torrented videos. I do think it's shitty when cosplayers aren't sourced, just as its shitty when fanartists aren't sourced on reposts. Guess it's one of those irritating but ultimately not worth starting shit over things.

>>9350243
Really? I only see cosplayers doing this. There are fandom aesthetic posts that have been popular for a long time but the cosplay aesthetic hashtag on instagram have all been cosplayers making them. It's become a real instagram meme at this point and there's thousands of posts in it.

USA50 had started posting member videos. Hibiki still shows what's in her nose.

The logo is horrible....

It's not a group, but this girl keeps appearing in the " New Translated Video " on nico nico and she's on a top level of cringy. : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFHc-vIV10Q

Who else was disappointed that they didn't attempt their original dress in the new version?

Meanwhile on Etsy there are dresses that are at least close if not as good as it might get for cartoon physics.

It looks like a goddamn prom dress. Something like this would've been perfect.

>>9366788
Well, we have the brilliance of Emma Watson to thank for that. If you read the Entertainment article. the director is very quick to inform all the changes to Belle was on her.

>>9365618
Load of shite, no idea what you were on about, Mainstream Pop icon? Two of the winners were a Fallout 4 character and the Queen of Hearts.

>>9365655
FALL OUT IS MAIN STREAM
Queen of hearts is hardly a Scifi character and she was too skinny.

No one gives a shit about your schooling as long as your portfolio is strong.

That being said, it depends on what you're showing in your portfolio - what kind of job are you aiming for? If someone's looking for storyboards, they're not gonna be impressed by your paintings, and so on and so forth.

What time period do you consider to be con season? I sell a lot of cosplay items and had a great holiday sales season but it's dropped significantly. When does con season in the US usually ramp up? May?

>>9358935
I'd say april-october is prime con season

Went on a round of second-hand shopping today and made some good finds I think.

>Real linen tunic with custom natural buttons, 7€
>Small coffee leather bag that I'm gonna convert to a belt bag, 5€
>Natural leather shoulder bag, 7,5€
>Not entirely larp related but also a Korean wall paper scroll for 3€

Ironically, my main purpose of the day was to find leather belts that I could use for my shield making and I didn't find a single good one. But I needed a new tunic (after a bird shat on the last one) and I lacked bags, so I'm good.

Not super hauls in terms of pricing but still good ones.

And here is the tunic. I'm gonna have to adjust the size a bit.

I'm gonna cut up the small bag so that I can fit on to my belt, and decorate the other one with some runes I think. Any pattern suggestions are welcome.

All in all, this a good day!

I'm going so I can see my friend's panel, plus with fuck all else happening until May it gives me a chance to cosplay.

Anyone know who else is entering CWM besides Ross?

>>9320162
Haven't seen anyone posting about it. Last year there were only 3 entrants

looks like it would be some cool scifi armor, but as fake muscles it looks off.

Chest is too high and the same thickness from the bottom to top. Bring it down a little and thin out the top part so it blends into your collar bones.

I like your attempt at serratus, but you need some actual lats to make them look realistic. Make the serratus serrated like actual ones

Your obliques are way, way too high up.Bring them down and find a way to bring in your waist.

What character are you planning to cosplay? Even with fake muscles, you won't be able to look like a guy that's thin. Best you can do is look like a bearmode guy

>>9368259
Thanks for the observations.
It was used for a Batman costume, hastly made in 3 days, and made the vest in like 2 hours, tops, so I'm aware tha some proportions are off.
Personally, the first flaw I noticed, and that bothered me the most, is that the edges still looks too square, speacially on the serratus, because I had to cut and sand everything by hand, as my dremel was busted.
Modesty apart, I could've made it better work if I kept looking at some reference images, but ended up just using what I barely remembered from anatomy classes to save some time.

It's pretty good considering that, plus the Batman costume would allow you to have a more solid appearance. I'd suggest you use references so you look more realistic

Why do you want to wear a turban? Because if you wanna wear it to spite SJWs or whatever then that's a shitty reason and you're only "cosplaying" as an excuse to be an asshole. Not cool bro. If you just legitimately think they look really awesome and just want a design that incorporates one that's a different story but do some introspection about what you're committing to.

If you are in a place that celebrates Carnival you shouldn't need an excuse to wear one, since they're kind of sort of customary anyway. Wearing costumes with turbans is literally part of the celebration. If you're in a place that DOESN'T celebrate carnival... just don't, you're going to look like an asshole no matter what you do.

I don't think it's a good idea OP, if it's some character nobody knows, they'd just think you're dressed as a foreigner anyway... Maybe Aladdin?

>>9366581
You seem under the impression poeple all over the world celebrate carnival the same. Nobody wears them for carnival here unless it's part of the costume. I've never seen it.

You'll be fine.
That's why you order cosplay custom-sized.

Please do Jojo cosplay

A 6'5 high school delinquent would be perfect. You will be good
