I disagree -- I think some superhero costumes look too trashy and costume-y in latex vs spandex. Pic related. I'd like ideas for characters who already look like they could be wearing latex.

Has anybody here ordered from latexcatfish? Their eva suits seem pretty nice.

Does anyone know a good person to commission a zero suit from?
I desperately want one, money isn't an issue.

http://andromeda-latex.com/ they've got one used for photo shoots on sale right now for $1200. Best latex cosplay suits in my opinion

>>8733265
Jesus Christ, it's beautiful.
But it's five inches too tall for me and designed for a woman with tits. ;-;

That's Beauchamp; she's a fetish model who has the trashiest 80's look I've ever seen. I don't think she'd qualify as a cosplayer, nor this a cosplay, because it's literally a fetish outfit.

>>8733346
I'm not offended, just no one cares.
We like heavily themed latex costumes here.

I have a feeling this is someone from /s/ just trying to get things to throw into their latex thread. Most superhero outfits look horrible in latex. Leather works better. Not only that, but it is impractical. Latex doesn't breathe. That's not exactly the best for running around several hours at a time.

Sorry this triggered your autism. Point is, that Supergirl costume would be pretty accurate if it were made of spandex, but the latex gives it a different and less accurate look regardless if who's wearing it.

>>8733351
The op clearly states they don't want anything too over the top fetish-y. That chick is over the top fetish-y.

Honestly hero outfits look more made of a sheer jersey. Almost a satin jersey for practicality. You can have that 'wet' look on different fabrics that aren't latex, spandex, or leather.

It's real, I do a lot of /co/splay in spandex but I want to try out some latex. Some costumes like plug suits, zero suit, shiny catsuits etc look nice in latex.

>>8733360
My point was that it was never meant to be a cosplay, and was made for a fetish model as a fetish outfit, which isn't cosplay. Quit getting so upset and post actual cosplays/cosplayers, because there are plenty of good ones out there that weren't made for sexual stimulation.

Except that's shitty fanart and Supergirl's costume is not supposed to be rubbery and shiny. So not a great candidate for a latex cosplay, unlike Catwoman or something.

>>8733368
Im talking more about the examples posted already. How they don't look good in latex. Spandex is less shiny and wet which can make it appear less feitishy, but a lot of the outfits look just fine in jersey and make more sense to how they are drawn or animated. Not every outfit is overly highlighted to make it appear latex. Characters like Black Cat, Cat Woman, other clearly meant to appear sexy outfits are purposefully drawn to give off the fetishy and sexy look. That's how the character is and that is how their outfit is portrayed, but get someone like Hawkgirl or Wonder Woman and you can tell the difference. Then you have someone like Black Canary who you can tell uses leather rather than latex for her one piece.

Im giving an alternative to latex if they want the shiny appeal. Supergirl has different costume highlights depending on the artist for the comic, so her outfit is actually dependent on the cosplayer's overall look they want to achieve. I agree, however, that Supergirl should be more in a jersey in general. As are a lot of outfits for superheroes. It looks better not only in photos, but you will have a better time walking around for hours on end.

You could also just opt to not shine the latex if you don't want the wet-fetishy look. It'll cling to the body better, but certainly is less practical due to wear ability reasons.

>>8733393
This looks awful. Much better in regular jersey.

I really, honestly do think it is a guy from either /s/ or /b/ looking for fap material.

Does anyone have any tips on working with latex? I was thinking about getting this kit since I read about on technoranma's tumblr post about her Ryuko.

>Latex thread!
What are some costumes/characters that latex works well for?

Characters that already have skintight and shiny outfits, mostly comic book characters and sci-fi characters. It's a bit of a gimmick these days to make ____ costume in latex for the sake of it, when it's not in character or a shiny costume to begin with. It looks lovely if its fitted correctly and lubed up!

Pros:
+ gets that shine that pvc and wetlook cannot
+ smooth and more skintight than pvc
+ acts as a body shaper like spanx

Cons:
- exhausting to wear after a few hours
- can be ripped or torn if caught on sharp objects
- needs handler for shine/zip
- expensive to make and buy
- bruising can occur at joints if not enough lube is used to put on
- amplifies outside temperature

>>8733077
That's me. I work part time for a high end latex brand at the moment and own a few cosplays that translate well in latex.

I say you should buy a small latex piece like a pencil skirt and test it out if it's for you.

>>8733120
Latex Catfish is notorious for poor quality, so buy at your own risk. If you really want a great plugsuit invest in Andromeda Latex.

Underrated post

Latex I think works better for

>evil people or villains
Evil tends to be more showey and flashy than good.

>more sexual characters
Not just as in "hot." there's lots of characters who are sexy and/or show curves without being necessarily as sexualized. Catwoman vs supergirl up there is a good example.

>dark color combos

>bright or primary colors
Maybe this is the limits of the material to start with, but because it LOOKS so over the top to start, it doesn't make sense with more subtle character designs or color combos

>>8733731
Maybe a stupid question, but do you wear underwear under latex?

>>8734873
Whatever you wear under a latex outfit is going to show, so it's probably a thong or nothing. If you are going that far, may as well go commando unless it's a translucent outfit.

>>8734873
If its a pencil style long skirt (to the knees+) I don't wear underwear to avoid pantylines but if it's shorter or flared I wear those seamless basic undies to show little to no lines. Don't need to wear them for pants or catsuits but I recommend getting seamless panties or a basic thong for bodysuits since the sweat/lube can slip at the crotch if it's not a wide enough covering.

>pic related is what I prefer to wear under my pieces and shows almost nothing at all especially when the hip area is prone to wrinkles in the latex anyways

>>8733120
From what I've read on other boards, catfish's quality is improving. They may still not be able to compete with European suppliers in quality, but if you're willing to risk it (their price is ~1/3 the Euro shops) the price is right. Just prepare to be disappointed.

Their Eva catsuits *are* pretty cool, but if they'll obviously be catfish suits to anyone in the know. That said, you'll be wearing a latex plugsuit and they'll be in a basic seifuku so who's the boss now?

There are cases where the author clearly states that were the character played by a real person the outfit should be rubber. Such as Drusilla, and by extension her daughter, pic relevant. And yes, as mentioned earlier, she is evil, at least in her origins.

>>8734430
can you see the sticky bra because the suit it so tight or is it see through as well? Can latex be see through?

>>8744522
A little of both.
Latex can be transparent but can also be made pretty opaque. In this case, it looks like it is slightly transparent as you can see it even though it's smooth on the outside (i.e. it's not just texture on the outside from being tight). And if it didn't fit so tight, even if it were slightly transparent you probably wouldn't be able to see through it so well due to scattering.

The hood didn't fit me right because it was the designer's head measurements and it was pretty tight around my neck. I remember having the hood off between locations of the shoot or waiting for the Joker's solo shoot to be finished. The components were catsuit, hood, gloves, socks, and the white bits were pvc ones from Artifice Clothing.

With the 0.35mm-0.40mm thickness of latex you only need to reduce the size of the pattern by 10-13% from the sides to make it fit comfortably and without wrinkling, if it's too tight it can cause asphyxia or bruising :c

>>8744522
Latex can be super transparent to completely opaque, I know that this Lady Deadpool was made with Kink Engineering's(old and discontinued) red which is a bit see through if shined on both sides with lube - other brands like Radical Rubber (which they now carry) have opaque reds if you're interested.

I hear some of those behind the series also are on /co/, however their plan went astray: /co/ is now out and out for catboi andthat includes guys.

You could probably get most of those materials cheaper than that set. I've never had to use thinner and latex is actually more forgiving than people think! Also I found it easier to use q-tips to apply the rubber cement glue than using a brush. I actually used QD's Ryuko as a heavy base for mine, but I ended up using a thicker grade latex than she did for durability (which is why the pleats don't fall as well). I also applied latex (a thinner grade than the garment) on the armor instead of paint by using contact cement. The main think with latex though is to give yourself enough room to make mistakes, so making mock-ups and cutting large pieces and then taking them in as you go is what I found to be the best way to save material.

>>8733793
>>8735000
Not that anon, but I saw them in person at Katsucon and they did look like shit. Like she cut the tits off a mannequin and glued them to her chest.

Everything else looks great though. I just think it could have looked so much better if she used her real tits.

>>8762205
More like she glued hamburger buns to her chest.

(seriously, what is it with people assuming everyone who gives a popular cosplayer critique is a jealous fatty??)

>>8762205
I've seen them too. They look fine. I like she went for the crazy big boob accuracy.

>>8762543
no they don't look good. i'm a different anon and i don't know why everyone defends them. it's not even about them looking natural or something, they just don't look like they're on properly. she's going for the huge round ball style boobs, they look saggy in a completely off way, atleast she should have went around the sides.


plus this shit is fucking stupid and only reinforces the 'need for tits' to cosplay things like this. which we need to get away from.

Nah, skin wouldn't sag that much at only 29 unless she lost weight or had been pregnant.

She most likely was fatter than that at some point, even if it was only 10-20 lbs. Maybe she was chubby as a child or a teenager.

>>8766754
iirc she did say on her page that she lost weight for that cosplay. she should have worked on her core muscles though. if all you do is diet/cardio, you end up being skinnyfat and that's not kawaii.

>>8765493
>get into latex?
Either it has a zipper (front or back, or rarely over the shoulders) in which case you need only a little lube and pull it on like a tight boiler suit.

Alternatively it has no entry zipper and you lube up well and enter through the neck.

There are videos that show this but probably not appropriate at /cgl/.

>>8733120

Their craftsmanship is fine, it's the quality of the rubber they use that sets them behind makers like LatexNemesis, KE and Andromeda.

They use Chinese rubber which is cheap where as most every other maker uses 4D Rubber which is gorgeous.

Basically, if you know how to glue rubber together and can pattern well, you could take the base of the Catfish suits and make them look much better with some effort. IMO, a 200 catsuit beats a 2K catsuit from Adromeda IF you know what you're doing...

Ah torpedo tits Asuka. Did the maker nor the cosplayer not take into account that Asuka is 14 and looks 14 most of the time? Should have calmed that boob game down by two cup sizes.

Also I'm totally put off how latex used inappropriately (nearly all the outfit in this thread) totally puts the purely fetish look on cosplay. Leave that stuff in your bedroom.
If it doesn't call for latex don't do it. It will always look off.

I really need some help with the process of making a costume. >>8795121 I've even asked around here for some help and tutorials, I have no Idea where to start from

Order some cheap latex from MJTrends to practice on (and then upgrade when you feel confident enough in construction) and use YouTube tutorials. There's so many resources out there that are simple enough to learn from, unless your issue is how to make a pattern, which will be way more challenging than learning how to construct with latex. The process is simple:
>clean your latex edges
>right side goes against wrong side

Great. Just what we need. An influx of tweens wearing latex.

Any recommendations on patterning one of these? I was thinking of using another stretch material first before translating it to latex but I don't know how much stretch to account for.

Back in the day when lycra catsuits became popular amongst young women I never say any 7-year olds wearing the same.

>>8803782
Nowadays you got kids wearing those "zentai" things, so probably not far off. A couple of months ago Target was selling stretch-velvet catsuits for kids.

How do you deal with body odor while in a latex catsuit? Apparently deodorant/antiperspirant damages the latex. Just curious.

>>8805024
luckily it doesn't come out till later. in all seriousness tho i bought these armpit pads from japan that stick on to your shirts and absorb the sweat. they tend to work really well actually!

Another possibility is making a banesuit from [spoiler]Eudeamon[/spoiler]. The difficult part is that the suit and helmet must be seamlessly smooth.

You know, after a long day in the costume you might want some relief. I think several of the cosplayers started out with a fetish suit and adapted it to fit, rather than wanting to make a statement of their availability.

Neck entry suits are in many ways more comfortable than those with full length zippers since zippers are not elastic and therefore tighten the suit unnecessarily when you move. The big snag is that neck entry suits take a lot more effort to get in and out of. So when you are in you want to stay in costume for as long as possible.

Not latex, but spandex suits and I specifically got them with crotch zippers so I wouldn't have to take off everything over the suit. The conventions I go to have lots of drinking, and some parties use those tyvek wristbands that are impossible to get off.

Absolutely incorrect. Video game characters I can see in latex. Superheroes? No way in Hell.

Latex doesn't breathe; wearing a catsuit is like wearing a full body rubber glove. All of the things that comic book superheroes do (running, jumping, climbing, fighting, etc) generates a lot of sweat, and they'd likely get heat exhaustion or heat stroke if they attempted their feats in latex.

Also, when tight-fitting latex tears, it splits wide open and shreds. Any amount of battle damage would ruin the suit. See Empowered for more details.

Furthermore, properly shined latex doesn't allow do to hide or remain hidden if there's any amount of light it can reflect. This is why it's bad for skulking characters like Catwoman or Black Widow.

Latex (especially catsuits) is really a fetish item. It's *meant* for sex...

You really can't paint a latex suit because it's technically rubber, the only way it'll stick and move with the rest of the catsuit is if you paint the teal with liquid latex.

It'll look 100x better if it was hand cut latex applique though which will give it a vivid and consistent look, but that's my opinion on the subject.

Hope that helps.

>>8869120

Better angle on this pic, even if it's fanart. I'm assuming it would be incredibly expensive due to all the different coloured pieces and details.

>>8881763
If this is a full catsuit with clear panels, you're looking at $600-1000 for a decent quality one. Depending on the designer and quality of latex sheeting etc.

>>8876127
Yeah I've never worn latex before. I figured it was way beyond my skill level and I don't think I can drop $1000 to have only the suit commissioned when I have the other costume components to pay for.

I thought I read somewhere that latex is relatively comfortable? I guess that's not the case then. :/

>>8868356
Why would you use latex for this? That's her bare skin, not a bodysuit.

>>8882091
Maybe be cause it's sexy and Midna is sexy.

Why else?

>>8882069
It can be comfortable under the right conditions, but the main problem is that it's not at all breathable, so even the tiniest amount of sweat will build up and not evaporate, preventing the cooling, causing more sweating, etc... it quickly becomes very hot and sweaty if the environment is just a little bit warm. Pretty kinky, if you're into that sort of thing, but not at all practical. Funnily enough, it doesn't hold heat in all that well either (only feels like it does due to lack of sweat evaporation), so it can also be quite cold if it's cold outside.

However, if the fit and temperature are perfect, then it rests gently against your skin and stretches fairly easily and moves along with your skin so there's not much sliding around, making it quite comfy.

>>8882091
Easier than body paint (and IMO, more accurate in appearance than body paint or spandex), I guess. Theoretically, you could also hide some padding underneath and have it be less obvious than some other options.

>>8881780

That really depends. Check this video review of a latex plugsuit: https://youtu.be/2RQBx2O_VxQ

She goes from saying she had body issues and took off the suit after a minute the first time to saying she was really happy with the suit and it is really comfortable.

>>8882501
>It can be comfortable under the right conditions
That is what Kate Beckinsale said about her outfit for Underworld. It was usually too hot or too cold.

Would it be possible to use full body antiperspirant to avoid too much sweating without ruining the suit?

>>8885616
>Would it be possible to use full body antiperspirant
Maybe, but it probably wouldn't help much with feeling too warm. You'd probably have to use some kind of dry spray-on antiperspirant (the regular stick kind might react badly with the latex, not 100% sure) and it wouldn't get all sweaty and slippery and farty when you move. But you'd probably still feel warm due to having no sweat to evaporate.

It can be very comfortable, but the tolerance on that depends on your own personal preferences and the sizing of the item. If it's too small then a) you won't get it closed and b) it'll be difficult to move/breathe/both, plus you'll be at risk of the outfit tearing. Latex also takes a little bit of special care otherwise it goes to pieces.

If you manage to find some matte latex, then I don't think it would, however it would have to be made to measure for you and it would effectively move as your skin. Bear in mind that this may not be entirely practical for Sheik. That said, if it's done effectively, it loos awesome, see posts below.

What this comes down to is whether you're willing to accept the amount of money it would cost for the material and the time to make the outfit.

Don't you get awfully sweaty underneath catsuits?

>if you manage to find matte latex

All latex is matte until you shine it; anon should have no problem with that because that's quite possibly all of it.

Honest question how do the keep the sides from moving and giving a nice show for the guys? Does glue work on rubber or latex?

>>8814602
I lone your way of thinking. Including about Jnig.

>>8909240
Spirit gum, or maybe some well hidden tape might work, but the easiest way would probably be like in the picture where the cutout isn't actually missing, but transparent latex. So it's actually closed off, but you can see through it as if there's nothing there.

Thats what jealous flat chicks say.

It was suggested that lubing up with a mix containing anti perspirant might be an idea. Some prefer to be a little moist.

>glue
Sure, good quality latex garments are glued together rather than molded. Rubber cement is preferred and easily available.

Latex sticks to you pretty well, especially if you didn't use lube/talc powder to get it on. Even if it wasn't a transparent section like >>8909625 said, her outfit would probably keep her covered up.

>>8909240
The middle section is "Skin" colored latex. You can see the photoshop from orbit.

If you're talking about the transparent latex being a photoshop job: No, that's a real thing that can be done.

Unless you get sweaty, then it starts to get slippery.

This outfit would improve with latex. Too made they chickened out for the new TV series. In view of Miraculous Ladybug fetishizing teenagers I guess the TV company misread their audience.

Another candidate for that extra glossy look in latex: >>>/co/80925566

Seems they make latex with practically mirror finish these days, often you can see the photographer reflected.
