>tiny ass midlands town is holding a cosplay competition during a "kawaii day"
>this is the judge
im gonna enter it for the shits and giggles m8s

>>8852234
Anyone know how the saturday masquerade went?
I know some shitty ass cosplays were entered, but I haven't seen any pics as of yet.

Real talk, where the bloody hell do you people buy Cosplay fabrics here? There are literally no proper fabric stores anywhere. *just moved to the UK*

>>8852455
online, or goldhawk road.

>>8852455
I buy online. My local fabric store doesn't sell any stretch fabrics and charges £7 for a meter of polycotton so I don't really have a choice unless I travel to London.

>>8852455
If there's an abakhan near you I'd definitely recommend them. They sell a lot of their fabric by the weight so it's a lot cheaper than on the roll.

>>8852455
Online and from the local market, which has a few fabric places in it, always best to check f there's a fabric stall in your local market.

>>8852354
I live in the Midlands, whereabouts is this? Might enter it too if that's the bar they are setting lmao.

>>8852480
rugby library on the 20th feb

>>8852234
Are there any active comms in the Midlands?

>>8852455
If you're in the midlands, go for Barrys Fabrics, The Rag Market and Fancy Silk Store. In Birmingham city center just outside the bull ring.

>>8852497
seconded

>>8852455
The UK is big, give a city and people might be able to be more helpful. London is immense for fabric shopping, but each major city will have it's own hidden gems.

>>8852516
>The UK is big
Compared to where?

>>8852361
Only like 2 people signed up before hand. They were begging for entrants the day before and at the con itself, even scrapped the skit requirement. They only just got enough people to run it. Demorafairy cosplay won.

>>8852557
Is she doing LSCC masq too?

>>8852483
I actually live close to Rugby. I'm deffo going now ha.

>>8852497
Seconding Fancy Silk Store

>>8852561
was rumoured to be, but hasn't made any announcement

>>8852567
here.
> fb /events/483717601829064/

>>8852542
Big enough that you wouldn't shop in Southampton if you live in Glasgow, big. Vague locations kinda help people actually give useful info

>>8852557
Got any pics of what she entered as?
Havent seen any on her personal fb or her page?
I'm friends w some people who were runners up and had bought their props. So clearly the standards weren't the highest.

>>8852632
It was her chandelure but without the facepaint

>>8852634
?? And that won.
Fucking hell,
know any of the other runner ups other than the shit tier lux and ashe that taobao'd most of their cosplay?

>>8852639
Wasn't there myself but Minachi's Cosplay Haven was the Ashe and she made her whole cosplay despite its questionable quality.

>>8852639
there was a space marine and some god awful singer

>>8852639
There was also Teraana(sp?) but I don't know who she was cosplaying as

>>8852648
I know for a fact she bought her bow. The rest of it she did make, the Lux however I think didnt.

>>8852455
Seconding this, just moved to east London. I know there's loads of places in London but I have no idea where to even start. Does anyone have any recommendations?

>>8852677
Goldhawk Road in London, it has about 10 fabric shops and definitely worth a look around. It's right next to the tube stop as well so easy to get to.

>>8852677
wathamstow market super cheap

>>8852571
Doubtful as she doesn't seem to have anything good that fits inside the rules

on the fabrics front, does anyone know any good shops in the midlands area?

>>8852690
See >>8852497

So Kyle is poorly ripping off MattEleven's style now. Good job!

>>8852675
She never does. She just mooches off her friend who makes everything for her.

anyone see the masquerade today? was it the shit show it usually is?

>>8852711
how so

>>8852746
by having decent pictures for once

>>8852746
Can you believe he took a picture, using a CAMERA, then did some editing to- and I can't believe this myself- make it look nice.
It was edited slightly diffrent because he's doing the awful crime of experimenting with his style, what a foul cunt. Should learn that people aren't allowed to improve or change.

In other news cosplayers are now not allowed to cosplay characters that have already been cosplayed as it's just stealing from the original.

>>8852757
has anyone actually got these pictures to show or

>>8852764
omg he used gels must instantly be copying from 'x' photographer.

>>8852772
Why hasn't x-photographer claimed copyright on gels yet? Or stopped the sale of them to the public? It's awful how kyle is now copying x-photographer for using gels.

>>8852772
this is actually a great photo, editing and all which seems to be what he struggles with. Kudos Kyle

>>8852455
Okay Im in the Cambridge area so Im assuming that's why Im having terrible luck? Online it is. Any site recommendations?

>>8852483
Is that not LSCC weekend?

>>8852773
>>8852774
Hi Kyle!

>>8853631
It is

>>8853676
Nah look the photo has a Facebook save name, if kyle posted it it wouldn't have that file name

>>8853676
>>8853706
I literally just said he was using gels and implying the use of it wasn't ripping off Matt as almost everyone uses them ?? I didn't say they were good, in fact this was the only decent photo he uploaded. Also yeah, I just ripped it off Facebook, you'd think if I was Kyle I would have the saved file on my computer. Good logic there friend.

>>8853706
You would be rubbish in the police. obviously not him because he didn't use thisismyfile.jpg when uploading it anonymously

>>8853717
Obviously it's not impossible, but who would think to go to the trouble of that just to self post on 4chan. Go take a nap

>>8853728
Kyle would. Are you new?

>>8853728
I think a lot of people would desu

Britfag thread - we hate kyle, but we aren't really sure why.

Where'd that Kyle thread go

>>8853738

hes a bit of a dick but his photography is nice even if its a little basic.hes not lucas level of dick at least.

Anyone doing Midlands Expo?

>>8853913
Me but unsure who to go as. First time going, just dreading the 2hr drive up there. Who are you cosplaying as?

>>8853738
I quite like Kyle though...

>>8854085
Still deciding, but it'll be a rewear

>>8852690
Derby market in the Eagle Centre is pretty good for fabrics.

>>8853738
i know it's an unpopular opinion here, but I don't mind the guy. He might be a bit arrogant at times but that doesn't make him the devil

>>8854349
Same, he briefly dated one of my friends. He's a prick when he's drunk but alright in small doses

anyone going to LSCCthis year?

Opinion on Kerry making what seems to be a large bulk of her ECG finals cosplay at Artyfakes?

>>8855928
Disqualified surely

>>8855934
You say that but the props for the qualifiers were made there. And Tabby was then one of the judges.

>>8855934
They're going to be anyway. They were told they would be if they did a stupid skit at the final, thus they're getting disqualified

>>8855934
Suppose someone should just tell them and see what ecg say.

>>8856022

No point, if it looks great on stage all they have to do is not let it place and boom not only do they not have to have the drama of DQing someone but then they also get to play up to the big/nice looking costumes.

>>8855928
I'm just glad they're not entering LSCC again I swear if I see that skit one more time.

>>8852234
The cosplay world qualifier contest at LAGC made me so mad. There were only like 5 entries but the girl who won I don't think deserved it at all.
I don't know who won the talent show because I had to leave early but if it wasn't the guy with the harmonica it was a fix.

>>8856341
who did you think deserved it then? they were all as equally shit as each other.

>>8856341
>it was a fix
New guy, meet UK cosplay, UK cosplay, meet New Guy. He's very new.

>>8854552

Yep. Tabitha Lyons ain't though. She's been a fixture at LSCC for years, to the extent where she was almost their cosplay mascot. This year, though, she wasn't invited as a showcase cosplay guest. At the last minute, LSCC contacted her about being a guest, possibly because somebody else dropped out. Madam threw a hissy fit because she was being treated like sloppy seconds and told them to go fuck themselves.

I guess madam's outgrown small cons like LSCC and is now focussing on major events like Wigan Comic Con or going to cons abroad.

>>8857223
The fuck, seriously? some of us would love to guest there, some of us even make our own cosplays without daddys help. Not bitter nope...

>>8856341
No one else really deserved it either though. I think she was the best overall, her costume and skit were both pretty good. Better than the rest anyway.
I'm surprised more people didn't enter, there were a few from the Sunday masquerade that maybe would have done OK

>>8857340
It's held at an Anime League event though. I wouldn't mind entering myself but everything I've heard about LAGC makes me hesitant to go.

>>8857361
same. Maybe in the future I'd like to enter but it's the knowledge of attending an AL event that puts me off

>>8857361
>>8857522
Don't go. Winning the competition isn't worth the self torture of attending the event.
I went for the first time this year and I don't plan on ever attending again. AL are an embarrassment to the con scene and cosplay community.

>>8857237
Are you really this surprised about Tabitha. Close friends have talked about not wanting to cosplay with her now since she attracts so much drama. That's telling enough really.

>>8852567
I'm not too far away, might go for shits and gigs.

>>8854552
I'll be there. It's my first UK con.

>>8857223
maybe she got pissed that she wasn't invited to judge the championship last year, as she was 1st year

>>8857593
You're right anon I shouldn't be, plus when you so far up your own arse and don't really like cosplay then yep not really surprising

>>8857867
Because she hadn't made a single costume in a year and is also awful

>>8852711
Come on man, it's not his first time. He's constantly copying people. Look through his album. It changes style at every convention. Just copies whatever who ever is popular, getting likes. I agree hes doing what MattEleven does. But he calls it experimenting. Sure whatever man.

>>8858002
He stole the idea from fashion bloggers. Awful that keeping up with trends stuff.

But cosplayers keep doing it too. New costumes for every convention and just going with what is popular and copying friends.

What's Friday night like at Telford MCM?

Getting there early and wondering if there will be many weebs already there

>>8857534
Don't bother anon, just like you, everyone ignores the warnings about AL on /cgl. We all know AL are terrible, we all warn people, but the only way people will learn is if they all attend and realise how bad it truly is first hand.

>>8856015
Is that actually true?

>>8857223 I Don't believe that for a second. Why would LSCC invite her at the last second when they already have such a great line up. Sounds like Tabitha is just bitter that they never invited her and is trying to save face.

>>8860015
She's had her day and people have finally realised she doesn't even enjoy cosplay, just the e fame that she thinks she gain from it.

>>8859556
I can confirm that it is not

This isn't about the person who passed away. It's about the dicks that showed no respect and the photographer who was more concerned about not getting their press pass.

>>8861486
People are over-reacting. Some photographer got moody about not getting a press pass more than 10 days before the tragedy and people are acting like it was the guy's fault.

>>8861671
Name and shame. What makes that photographer so special he should get press pass, does he shoot for specific publication only? Does he shoot for newspaper/television, or just a guy with camera just like 90% of the ones that attend comic cons with a camera?

>>8860726
Her popularity has dropped after she started going crowd funding and expecting people to fund her when shes got her dads business capable of doing it. She doesnt spend time actually rewarding her fans but instead stream for money, travel round the world trying to get friendly with more popular cosplayers at Istanbul. Its so cringy thats why non of the uk community wants to be associated with her, but desu she doesnt care enough about anyone unless it benefits her company. Just a business riding on the cosplay scene.

Officially a week till LSCC. Is anyone actually going to finish their costumes? I don't think one person entering has yet that is pathetic

>>8857223
Can't imagine they'd actually invite her back after she built herself an actual pedestal over other guests last year and still had the smallest queue. She's such a nobody these days.
Her comments about 'last minute invite' reek of desperation in the face of humiliation when people ask if she's invited and she doesn't want to admit that she's not worth the space anymore.

>>8862365
So who is entering then?

>>8862413
Hellen alice and MegaBethbob
Odd Toggs
Danny " The assassin guy'
Captain Amelia
Not to sure who else

>>8862437
So you're salty because 5\40 haven't finished?

Welp I'm bored now

Shame MCM events are just glorified dealers rooms, I have nothing to do other than walk around and browse.

>>8862578
Guessing you were at Midlands today?

>>8862626
Still am

>>8862413
literally just look in the archives big lists have been posted every thread

>>8862442

>>8862631
No they haven't. Seen about 6 names. Last year we had half

>>8860869
>>8861486
Is it really being a dick not attending a memorial of someone you didn't know? I mean the staff all should have went but its not like most of the attendees knew her

>>8855928
Organiser probably knows nothing about it. Making all your costume with the assistance of a semi-professional shop is both poor-show and borderline cheating. Doesn't surprise me though, when they did it at qualifier and no one thought it was dodgy to have Tab judge it. Didn't Kenny throw his prop off the stage? That's supposed to be disqualification too right?

>>8862712
to be fair, Kenny and Kerry should have been disqualified for the prop throw, but since there was only one other group at qualifiers and their performance was a train wreck they didn't really have a choice

>>8862712
>>8862808
I swear I remember that they asked someone if they could throw it and it was allowed.

So, how was telford?

I was up until 5am with a bad stomach so didn't exactly feel like making the drive there today.

Was fun, not lots to do but good with friends. The new complex around the con centre is much better for food and drinking compared to the last time I went.

Also, pic for the XCOM dude I saw in the Progress Thread, nice to meet you.

>>8862820
as if firing a projectile into the audience (which it should be noted, actually hit people) would EVER be allowed in any competition.

>>8863052
Well it was

>>8862692
Seems like the bigger dick move would be to gatecrash a stranger's memorial.

>>8863242
I'm guessing from her reaction it was someone that dealt with her regularly

>>8863052
Firing a projectile? Bit dramatic. Anyway I think they were allowed to throw the hopper off to the side, but instead threw it into the audience.

At all.

>>8863734
She's kneeling on a lake lol

LSCC is next weekend
What are your cosplay plans?

>>8863027
I was there too, but I live in Telford. For me, the worst part of going to comic cons, is not knowing what to cosplay as. I don't like going if I'm not dressed up even a little, so I just went as Frank West, with sunglasses and camera.

I took a couple pics of the cosplayers, but didn't buy much.

Maybe I'll have figured something out for Birmingham.

>>8863980
Some anime shit to piss people off

>>8863734
Is she on top of water?

>>8864307
same.
Technically it has a comic book but, who really cares.

>>8864307
Seems ironic since people cosplay comic or tv characters at anime cons.

>>8862578
How did you not know this already?

>>8863027

Thanks mate, was nice to meet you too, thought your EA cosplay was hilarious!

>>8864606
The thing with LSCC is they can lose the venue if they have anime stuff. That's not an issue for other cons.

>>8866066
That seems like an odd condition, though i don't know much about LSCC

>>8866086
MCM have an exclusivity contract with the Excel meaning no similar event can be held there. LSCC found a loophole with them JUST being western comics based. It's why the cosplay competition is called the 'Costume Championship' because MCM hold the rights to everything in the Excel to do with their cons, so no 'cosplay', anime, film or tv.

Helen alice and Ingridbeast are the only ones finished

>>8868170
helen alice isn't finished yet

>>8868192
She said it she only had the flowers on the dress left to do. Which is a long way off finished because the back is covered in them.

>>8868221
yeah there are over 300 on the dress i think?

>>8868253
Something like that. But her partner is a long time way off finishing which means the team isn't finished even if her dress is done.

>>8868260
>>8868156
so at this rate, there will be no competition. I haven't even seen the judges finishing their costumes

Interesting to note that there's barely any LSCC drama this year and Valentine isn't entering

>>8869583
I heard that he was but keeping a down low to avoid all the drama

>>8869583
Are you suggesting that his mere presence caused all the drama or that he's the only one worth talking about?

>>8869700
Just that he's a drama llama

I don't think his that bad with the drama desu . Met him a couple of times his full of him self but apart from that I don't think his that much of a drama queen. on that note first time going LSCC what am I to expect is it cluster of crowds ??

100% a drama queen, when he did that Prince of Persia thing with the shit wig he posted how he was robbed and he should've won, even though his 'bullet time' movements just looked like he was retarded

I don't think someone would call him out on bullshit if it was just a joke

who the fuck is rubia?

>>8870281
Chiqiuita cosplay, used to be big back when mcm first started and is always at AL events

>>8870207
He's just a guy with a camera, he doesn't shoot for any newspapers, magazine, TVs or even the conventions. Infact he is just a guy with a camera (same as Shades On) as mentioned above, hes just one of many that attend these conventions and think they should deserve a press pass because they have a camera?? If thats how it works, why not give all cosplayers press pass, because end of the day if it wasn't for our costumes they would have no photos? I'm glad they rejected him.

He was trying to bully a free ticket off one of the nicest girls you could ever meet by threatening her and calling her unprofessional and throwing a big tantrum when he is not even remotely press. The last thing she needed was any more stress and it is a tragedy what happened.

These guys get a camera and take a few shitty pictures and think they are a big deal and want a free ride.

What happened at Hyper Japan?

Becca's death was a result of her epilepsy, anyone who took the time to ask her about how she doing with it, would know it had been getting worse for her. She didn't die because she had an argument no matter how much of an entitled asshat tog Ali is. You can be salty as hell but no one should be accused of someone's death by disease.

Since she's died all Chiquitita has done is used her death to bolster her own ego and pretend she was such a great friend and gave a shit, when anyone ALfag enough knows full well that she just used Becca for her free passes much like everyone else.

>>8870833
epilepsy can be worsened by stress. We can't ask her so we don't know if anything caused it.
She was a lovely girl and was nice and kind to everyone. AND THIS CUNT.

Saying he's "Disgusted" at her for doing her job. For handing out PRESS PASSES to FUCKING PRESS and not guys with camera and little skill.
It's common knowledge that he and tog friends beg for PPs because they are too cheap to buy tickets and think they are deserving of not needing to pay.
Apparently being Ali who is loud and obnoxious guy taking pictures of girls half his age is enough to get you to places for free. This is the man that goes out of his way to make people uncomfortable.
No one follows Ali to conventions. Only other photographers trying to pull the same shit.

What happened was a fucking tragedy and I'm still upset by it and I only met her irl a few times.

And this guy decides to emotionally blackmail her because he thinks he's too good to buy a ticket and conventions should want him.

You see cosplayers asking and begging to be guests at conventions. This is the same.

Apart from Ali's behaviour is poor for a 40 something man trying to get into a room filled with half naked teenagers.

>>8870833
They were best friends. I can't see how doing this does her any good or is about ego but twist it how you want anon.

Big Guy Slim isn't to blame but people should know what low shit he tries to pull

Asking to be a guest or press isn't wrong, but I was under the impression you had to present that you could either provide content (by way of being a guest who is a cosplayer) or provide media coverage (not just of scantily clad girls) and traffic from wherever you post to.

Appeal a decision once maybe if you feel really strongly but don't start emotionally blackmailing people who are just doing their job.

Fucks sake take a hint.

>>8869775
No shit. He isn't as bad as everyone makes out to be.

As always, never believe everything you hear on 4chan. It is 98% blown out of proportion.

>>8871645
He just loves himself is all. Valentine is basically just David Brent as a cosplayer. His panel consisted of him boasting about owning his own company and being a cool boss who shows off his cosplay props to his employees who all think he is great.

>>8870523
Apart from the shitty drawn on beard
How can you put so much effort into a costume than fuck that up?

>>8871746
Seriously? What's so awful about it?

Can we talk about this cosplay progress Lady Noctis just put on instagram. It's amazingly bad, I pity whoever wears this.

she is so gosh darn talented

>>8871910
This is a commission for someone else? Id ask for my money back...

>>8871776
The fact that it is very obviously drawn on is what's awful, it doesn't look real in the slightest.

>>8871910
Just to go off subject... i hate how those little plastic plug pin covers get everywhere

I'm a no body in the con scene but having a go at modelling Jetstream Sam's Masamune with the intention of 3D printing it.

Thought I would post it because even if it's not great it's still better than 90% posted in the britfag threads.

>>8871970
to be fair that was over a year ago, and she has vastly improved since then. you can see in her last makeup test for it.

>>8872125
It's going to be pretty amazing once 3d printing becomes more accessible to cosplayers.

So long as the material is durable enough that is.

>>8872125
The real question is do you have the thighs?

>>8872143
I lift but if I did Sam I would still pad. The guy smuggles turkeys.

>>8872139
It's already easily accessible.

>>8872139
Look up "hackspace" and your city's name. A lot of them have 3d printers you can use if you get a membership/pay a 'donation'.

>>8872236
Different anon here,

It's not dummy proof though and a good printer is going to set you back £2000.

I don't think we're there just yet.

>>8872236
That and most plebs can't model at all.

>>8871645
Blown out of proportion? I've meet the guy on more than a few occasions and he really is loud and asks really uncomforatable questions during shoots. I've posted this before about him who shot with my friend and during the shoot he was asking really personal questions and made her really uncomfortable. So now the truth is finally out, I hope that slimeball never gets free ride from any events.

>>8872290
He makes sure to ask young girls in costumes things to make them uncomfortable. Even his friends get weirded out by him.

>>8871970
Okay I misread and thought you were talking about the entire costume. My bad!

You can easily find a local hackspace near you and use that. That's how I do mine (see pic).

Or use 3Dhubs.com and find one to print your stuff for you.

That is blackmail, pure and simple. Big Guy Slim just can't handle the fact he didnt get a PP? What an entitle fucker to personally message her and take it on a personal level? If you are going to dispute by all means apply again, but to emotionally blackmail someone? Whoopie fucking do a friend of his (someone he spoke to once) shoots for newspaper and uses that as an entitlement for a press? Fuck, I saw *randim famous celeb* at london film premierer, I should get vip treatment.

>>8870913
Best friends? You mean he hangs around her to leech off her followers by passing it as her photographer?

>>8870778
"As I have been told by some people I know and are on the same level as me (Photography wise) that they have received a press pass."

Can't hack others getting it and not you? Jelly much Ali? Go back to being the creepy loud mouth photographer that you are. How long have you been going to cons, and still don't know you have to apply early in advance for these events. You really think you bring in enough audience to warrant a privilage?

>>8870778
This will travel across all the uk conventions and he will get blacklisted.

It's funny how he everything is a joke to him, but behind the scenes hes a manipulative fucker.

>>8872551
he goin to lscc?

>>8872579
Probably not if he has to pay like everyone else the entitled fuck.

Unrelated but I'll be hosting a panel at Kitacon but it's weird hungover hours. Are many people around between 10-11am on a Saturday morning or should I expect a weak turn out?

>>8872862
Maybe, but most people I know who are really into panels aren't the types to get crazy drunk so it could still be a good turn out! What are you doing anon? If I'm not fucked or stuffing my face at the breakfast buffet I'll come along

So whose actually going to the Rugby shit? I'm going with a mate who has no idea about con culture.

>>8870778
Why do I have s feeling that he's a pretty creepy guy who used being a photographer to creep on girl's and cop feels

WHAT'S YOUR EXPO PLANS LADS?

>>8872862
Is this the 'what have we removed' panel? That could be quite a nice start to the morning, I'll roll down with my breakfast and pyjamas.

Time to take photos of nerds in costumes all weekend.

>>8873413
You're original, who are you shades on?

>>8873362
Not just creepy, if thats the way he handles things he seems one to avoid.

>>8873362
Hes the typical fat bold old guy with a camera, except he thinks hes press because hes got a page.

>>8873440
U wot

>>8860892
Who passed away?

I'm not a regular britfag

>>8862578
The only UK MCM event I bother going to is the London one, I'll try and get to the Dublin one if I have the funds

>>8864371
She's kneeling on rocks with water to the left of her

>>8873813
i've only went to the scotland one once but it was alright, is london good? i know it has better guests

>>8873859
London one is massive, usually around 100,000 attendees. Usually the bigger guests and stuff to do, and the dealers hall is massive.

It's also the only MCM that has an authentic Goodsmile booth, which means 110% authentic figs.

>>8873872
nice! i'm going to london in may, if i like it i'll probably go again in october.

>>8873374
>>8872962
It'll be great to have some gulls about!

And yeah, it's the 'what have we removed?' one. It'll be a basic kind of quiz panel based off the segment in buzzcocks but with anime screen shots and teams but I hope it'll be fun. The prize is a box of chocolates and then another box for best team name. It'll be my first time hosting something like this but I'm aiming to make it problem free.

I'm not keen on the London one, probably because i'm a poortherner and the 7 hour drive is a pain in the arse

From Tonight.
Couldn't take my time due to security.

>>8874296
unless you live close enough to a major city along the Edinburgh-London route you need to pay out of your ass for tickets, not to mention carting cosplay gear around with you for a 3 hr+ journey and on the tube is a fucking pisstake

>>8873859
As someone from Scotland I would say not to go to MCM Scotland.

It's handy to see local friends but feels like it's full of tweeny weebs.

And the cosplays are pretty shit, maybe a handful of good ones.

Also a lot of the Scottish "cosfamous" have mediocre skills, it's the lesser known creators that have the best cosplays and attitudes.

Anyone know how/where to find where the drinking parties are at during Birmingham mcm sat night?

>>8874728
Theres a couple of bars on the complex, that might be a place to start

>>8874519
Is this LSCC? Where is the hype?

>>8874570
i'm also in scotland. the only reason i attended last year was because i wanted to see friends, and the con i regularly attend has kinda turned to shit.
i've already bought my tickets for this year, so i guess i'll be going. oh well!

>>8875191
Nobody really cares about it.

So me and my friends were talking about doing a pop up café or something at conventions in the future.

But i have a bad feeling that we'd get wiped out before we even start thanks to it being competition to convention centres own hilariously overpriced food.

>>8875166
Thanks, in London (if it's not raining) it's super easy as its just right there out front

Guess I shall give the bars a try

>>8875426
Like, as part of the convention, or just something outside?

>>8875438
Fox is shit though, always crowded and overpriced

>>8875447
Considering the typically shitty weather, within the venue would be ideal obviously.

>>8875447
Nah, the time I went everyone was outside getting smashed on the front area

How do I find and or get invited to hotel parties at cons?
Because they sound pretty chill

>>8875528
Depends on the type of party. Some people just leave their hotel room door open and anyone can come in, others tend to arrange a meet online first.

How was lscc though? Anyone interesting qualify in the championship?

>>8875797
LSCC championship was a bit weird - some good stuff made it into the final but also a few "How the hell did that not make it in....,"

The judges didnt seem very keen on comedy acts.

>>8875814
give us the deets

>>8875814
who was good?

>>8875814
Was amazed the elphaba got through... The singing was awful.

That said, why did so many people decide not to pre record their audio this time around?

And way too many dance skits. It got old really fast

>>8875868
The mic didn't work properly so he had to try and sing louder and lower because they messed the levels

>>8875874
Yeah - not her fault and the judges understood that. She had a really good costume though

>>8875868
Only 3 live skits

>>8875911

4 I think! There was a guy who hasn't asked for s microphone trying to talk over his music.

I understand there were microphone issues, and the costume was gorgeous, just I think it would have been better if they'd prerecorded to avoid issues.

Takes a lot of courage to sing live though

Who actually qualified? I had to leave before they announced the winners.
Please say the tracer qualified as that was genuinely the best overwatch cosplay I've ever seen.

>>8875949
Hardly LSCC standard of detail though. It was really good but would be best in the open

>>8875191
Yes kind of given the photo was taken the night before the event. Same venue as MCM but much smaller and was annoying in that it was closer to the rear entrance to the Excel and not the front.

Only real plus to this event is better photography opportunities (no over crowding, better space for background) unless you also really like comics as an additional.

I did take photos, but need to process those.

Unfortunately news today is that it was raining so outside photos weren't practical assuming you want to take a decent photo. Also heard stink about the singing contest while in The Fox, but I was not particularly interested.

>>8876031
what stink?

>>8876035
Something about the singing. I didn't listen much to it, but it could be it was either difficult or the performances was crap.

I don't really know for myself as I didn't attend that part of the event, but there were people talking about it in The Fox.

There's 400 decibel music in the Fox, come on down if you want your ear drums pierced.

>>8876072
I heard that and only stuck around for two pints. Not sure if the DJ is a poser, doing a crap job or is a complete idiot.

Regardless I didn't stick around and am presently listening to the OPs and EDs for LOGH at home (15 minutes away from Excel), much better sound.

>>8876079
A mixture of all 3 it seems. It's quieter now at least. There's a ton of security on tonight as well. Has been for the entire event,there are sniffer dogs at every entrance and more guards than usual.

Expo anison rave when

>>8875814
The judges probably got sick of the comedy acts. So many this year. Well lots that were half serious half comedy

>>8875923
But then there's no wow factor in the performance. Besides it's definitely a song that wouldn't work recorded. It needs to be live

>>8875868
You get more point for successfully performing live

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2-2zjoKxqk

That was fucking fast.

>>8876273
Depends on the act

LSCC is pretty good today, not too many people in as to make it hard to move even with the other two events

>>8876987
What else is on?

>>8876989
An expo for baby goods, a classic cars show and something called 'success express' which looks like it has maybe 200 people.

>>8852648

No she fucking didn't, Beth is shit at making cosplay, there's no way she goes from skimpy outfits to EuroCosplay level acrylic work in 6 months.


Jesus you're a moron.

>>8855928

Getting help on it is fine, but she's borderline been walked through the entire thing.
Nice girl, but you don't go from making Championship Shyvana like that (Which was still great, just not ECG quality) to that in such a short amount of time.

Well, Spooner is here like always.

>>8877008
>>8852648
The cosplay was made.
The weaponry was bought.

So who won the championship?

>>8877225
Something simple and unambitious.

>>8877252

So someone from the UK?

>>8877254
Someone no one knows

Did anyone go to Digicon 2 in Doncaster earlier today?

>>8877252
Just fucking tell us who won

>>8877122

Lmao, at LAGC he was in the crowd when they were throwing out T-shirts, RIPPED the t-shirt from the hands of some 15 year old girl, then raged when he got boo'd and made to give it back.

>>8877169

Some people are just dumb. Notice how there's not A SINGLE WIP of the bow on her page, on the fabric. It's because she buys all her props and enters contests saying she made them anyway.

>>8877267
Tracer

>>8877274

Its 2016, do people not have camera phones?

Following the Cohaku Insta it's this girl in her tracer costume https://www.instagram.com/foxtail_agota/

>>8877313
She wore it to cwm

Winner was Tracer from Overwatch

Runner up solo was Kili

Runner up group was Star Wars with proper fight scene

>>8877252
Costume was perfection.

Please leave and never come back.

>>8869810
Backstory?

>>8877496
It's just shitposting

>>8877406
I thought Tracer was pretty cute desu. I kind of feel sorry for the ones that did singing skits though, especially the girl from Wicked. I guess the judges didn't take to OTT musical cosplayers. Everyone did a nice job though.

>>8877549

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4KHEmEhrB4

Same Tracer btw for Lithuania

>>8877270
Eh? Why are you replying this to me? I know she made the costume because she put up loads of WIP of the cut out white and gold and as it went on on her personal FB. Same as she said the bow had arrived from taobao along with most of the accessories and weapon for Lux.

I can't word out if you're trying to say she didn't make the costume either. Or just making conversation.

>>8877654

This was boring as fuck. Please tell me she did something more interesting for LSCC.

>>8877681
Didn't see sunday but her saturday skit was the backstory of tracer which was alright.

Can you enter a costume that you entered in another competition though? I thought it was one of those 'have to make a new costume.'

>>8877549
it was as if they didn't want someone copying what the winner of last years' decided to do. Funny that.

>>8877769
Don't think there's a rule against it. Shirak cosplay entered her ECG finals cosplay too.

>>8877769
I'm not sure if it's a rule or just frowned upon but generally you don't enter a costume if you've won with it somewhere else. As they didn't win before, it's ok.

>>8877769
There's no rule about costumes being eligible apart from it has to be Western media, and made by you.

>>8877769
The winner of last year was prerecorded though. Singing live is a completely different matter

>>8877769
She did really well to get around the mic and music problems both days. I'm not a musicals fan but singing live is tough and you could see she was giving it her all

>>8877769
So just copying something direct from the game is better?

>>8877893
... Well they're not copying the idea of last years winner, which was my point. Whether it was live or not (as there was that Fiona as well,) is irrelevant.
Whilst the costumes were brilliant, the ideas of the skit (or the ones I saw) where exactly the same as Ross'. It was almost as unoriginal as the 'funny' dance skits.
Though massive props to the elpheba for singing live, even if it was mega pitchy.

>>8877925
were any skits funny?

>>8877925
There's only so much you can do with a cosplay skit. At least they're being ambitious!
I'd take a polished musical skit over yet another fight scene any day.

>>8877938
They're both kind of worn out. Unless you can actually dance, actual fight or otherwise do crazy ass flips and tricks around the stage they've kind of hit a ceiling.

>>8877941
You're implying the Fiona couldn't dance?!

>>8877948
Who was she?

>>8877948
Who?? I was talking about about cosplay skits in general.

Calm your white knight ass down.

>>8877938
Tracer was so boring though

Did the guys do did joker and penguin enter this year at LSCC?

>>8879020
Literally who

>>8879020
Yes they were the Starlord and Ronan

>>8879032
Ah ok did they do a skit again or something different?

>>8879041
Skit - they did another comedy song

They didn't get through though

>>8879077
Was there any good comedy this year?

This kind of shit makes me so angry. You are a disgusting neckbeard who will contribute absolutely nothing of value why the fuck should you get a pass.

>>8879163
It's funny how non-press get bitter when press passes go to press rather than just punters

What's the best UK comp?

>>8879159
Depends what you count as comedy. There were so many 'cut to a funny dance song' skits. So dull

>>8879193
Anything that was intended as comedy. Anything good? Any videos online yet

>>8879197
There was a killer croc 'party croc', a dancing King of the Dead from LoTR, Warcraft singing Do You Wanna Build a Snowman, Just Can't Wait to be Queen with Margaery Tyrell and Cersei plus a few others. The Fiona actually made me smile. It was quite comical. The Kili made me laugh too. She did a Shakespeare monologue with a joke at the end.

>>8879256
The Kili smashed it. Deserved 1st place. The detail on the costume was something else. She was speaking live too.

>>8879256
fiona only copied what happens in the musical, not like she tried to do something original

>>8879287
True but she was damned professional. Not everyone would be able to act/dance it that well. The facial expressions and body movements are where all the comedy lies.

It also may not have been original but that skit wouldn't have looked out of place in the actual show. If we're talking accuracy, she smashed it.

>>8879289
Brah, she's not gonna fuck you

>>8879289
>>8879287

So would you rate Fiona using the recorded audio and skit straight from the show or Elphaba singing live doing her own thing? They were the only two musical skits as far as I can remember and really differet

>>8879293
I liked them both. Elphaba focussed on the singing. She acted but the skit was about her voice. Fiona didn't sing live so the acting and dancing was more important. They were very different even though they were both musicals.

>>8879289
If I'm correct the person who was Fiona does a lot of theatre acting in real life. It would have been embarrassing if she hadn't been good at acting.

>>8879299
Well then good on her for using her talents xD
I've heard all the entrants sew a lot in real life. It would've been kind of embarrassing if their costumes weren't good too...

>>8879301
It's the same as if some were professional sewers. They would have a foot up for the sewing but lack in the skit

>>8879317
Is she a professional? She seemed quite young. Probably more of a talented amateur, I guess.

>>8879263
I was hoping Kili would get 1st myself. Good that they placed but should have been 1st imo.

>>8879319
I mean that some of the others have professional experience and you would expect them to have a boost in that area the way she has the theater boost

>>8879341
I know that the Kili is an amazing singer and plays the guitar. Cool that she did something else.

>>8879289
accurate? her costume wasn't as accurate as it could have been, it seems lazy if anything

>>8879344
I'm in love

there were costumes miles better and more detailed than hers

>>8879414
Someone's really salty about this. There have been worse offenders.

>>8879414
>she didn't win.
You're right, there /were/ better costumes, which is why she didn't win. Calm down.

>>8879422
I think they mean there were better costumes that didn't make top 10

>>8879426
The mark was 50/50 performance/costume so the Fiona's performance had to count for something.

>>8879426
Yeah but it's 50/50 performance and costume. I think she deserved to be in the top 10

>>8879428
>>8879427
the fan club arrived.

>>8879431
Try performing a tap dance on stage and maybe people would start agreeing with you too.

>>8879439
Got a video?

>>8879442
Don't seem to be any up. I guess youtube will start getting some soon

>>8879439
Has anyone else watched her con vlogs? Because I find them pretty hilarious, Spooner references and everything.

>>8879449
Oh link want to see

First video I've found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29OGV4a0iU8

>>8879449
if this is not you typing these it's gotta be one of your friends white knighting on here

>>8879293
There were 3

>>8879256
Was the Warcraft guy the same one who was the UK Eurocosplay rep last year? "Warcraft meets Frozen" seems like a very specific combination.

>>8880151
Yep - same guy

What else had Dracula competed in before? I've seen it around a lot. Same with the King of the dead

>>8880282

I think he only entered ECG with that cosplay
