Fire Emblem Fates is coming out Friday! How about some cosplay.
When it comes out I wonder which characters are gonna be the most cosplayed
pic definitely not related
>>8869165
I want to say Camilla or Charlotte because titties and cleavage, but FE cosplays are general pretty complicated to make and usually only fans are willing to put in the effort to make a decent cosplay.
>>8869251
I've seen alot of people doing Kinu, Velour, and Kamui. For guys I'm not sure what the popular cosplays will be
some of the Fates cosplayers from Katsucon. Flannel and Velour seem pretty popular.
>>8869419
I'm sad I missed the shoot. Then again my corrin would definitely have been underwhelming compared to the one here.
>>8869826
FINALLY not shit-Awakening or shit-Fates. I'm sick of seeing those as the only FE cosplays.
self post; katsu was a fun trial run, definitely know what to fix before the next con though.
>>8869920
Ancient FE fan here. Just post cosplay of the games you like instead of bitching that no one else does it for you.
>>8869997
your ears are disproportionately large, are you gonna make them smaller?
>>8869920
>tfw no Tellius series cosplay besides Ike in Smash groups
Path of Radiance is the best FE game
>>8870507
They're not, actually. Kinu's ears in her sprite are about half the height of her head and this cosplayer made them more like 3/4 the size of her head. Similar with Nishiki. The colors you used, imo, are also too bright, but that's a matter of taste.
>God I love Kinu's design and I don't even play FE.
Get out.
But hey, what do I know, I'm waiting till I actually play the game to cosplay from it.
>>8870649
not like they would know since they didn't play the game lmao
>>8870649
>Get out.
Anon relax, they said they loved the design not that they were planning on cosplaying Kinu. You sound really high strung
Will I regret it if I make an Emmeryn cosplay to wear at a summer con? I keep telling myself it won't be that hot but I've been miserable even in skimpy outfits
>>8870649
almost no one cosplaying this game has played it, calm down
>>8870754
Use lighter natural fabrics and you'll stand an OK chance! I love seeing her cosplayed, she's one of the less common Awakening cosplays I've seen.
>>8870386
here's some of the Tellius showing at Otakon last year
>>8870790
why would you cosplay something you've never played!?
>>8870649
bitch I never said I was going to cosplay from it. People come to these threads just to look at other people's cosplays you know. I'm glad you take a video game you couldn't even read through so seriously though good for you
I was surprised to see a Yuugiri/Reina at Katsu though. I'm working on Kinu for a con next week. It sucks that I can't get my resin pieces in for it though.
>>8870821
right but no one cares if you love how big they are because they're still inaccurate
>>8870372
>>8870507
Original poster of the image here.
When we made the ears we didn't realize how large they actually looked compared to our heads until we we're already done with them. We also had other cosplays to finish so we didnt have the time to re-do them. It was something we wanted to fix, but we did make them into Neconimi's which was the main idea for them.
>>8870844
understandable-- cool that they're on necomimis though! not too bad of a fix if they're covers.
>>8870830
You sound mad that you weren't the OMG FURST kinu
>>8870790
>mfw youve played but cant make a costume that quickly
>>8870852
I don't even want to cosplay kinu but ok
>>8870825
wow that Yuugiri is spot on, she looks pretty good.
Overall the Hoshido characters have easier outfits compared to Nohrians. Which is why I can see the furrys all being the most cosplayed. I personally want to do Foleo
>>8870848
I'm the Kinu and the one who patterned the ears; What winded up happening is we patterned them without realizing that there was an extra 2 inches because of the headband. There are a few things, it was our first time working with fur so we also want to mess with the color.
I was pretty self conscious about how big they were once I was fully in cosplay.
>>8870881
I am the anon who was asking about the pattern - did you draft it yourself or find something online? Just trace the original necomimis?
>>8870889
I followed this tutorial and for the ear shapes I basically drew the shape I wanted and just re did it until I was happy. It took about 30 mins for one set of ears.
>>8870962
>Elise is best imouto.
Yes! I think her outfit is pretty cute too but yeah her hair would be a massive pain in the ass
Any suggestions for tackling Tharja's neck piece/tiara? I've never made props like that- I've made fake jewelry/pendants but nothing attached to the main outfit before, so I'm not sure what I should be going for in terms of flexibility/attachment.
Also, I don't think I'll be playing Fates for a while (my 3DS just broke and I feel like this installment seems too corporate/fan-servicey, but I'll wait until I hear verdicts from people I trust before deciding if I should skip it), but is this official art of Lillith?
Stop bitching about people who haven't played the game. It's easy enough to have watched people play the Japanese version and besides it's a beloved franchise it's not like it's a completey unknown game.
That being said I don't really care for any of the designs I'll be sticking with Awakening for now.
photo'd these cool cats at katsu
So who's everyone going to marry this time around?
>>8872997
nishiki or dia (not sure about localized names)
>>8872997
Hoshido - Saizou or Nishiki
Nohr - Suzukaze
IK - Marx
>>8872997
Prince perfect
>>8873012
>Leo
Pretty much the only reason why a lot of the people I know want to get Conquest.
>>8872997
Leon, Zero and Setsuna, probably Ophelia too because she's cute.
>>8873018
You got me
>>8872757
Oh hey I selfied with that Owain, he was a cool dude.
>>8872495
Tharja cosplayer here, the way I did my neckpiece was with very thick, gold upholstery leather that the rest of my gold pieces were made from backed with interfacing in the three front panels. Once I got the shape down it was pretty easy to achieve! The best way I can describe the shape is like a spoon, just with the straight part a lot thicker. For the tiara, it's very easy to do if you can just sketch down the flat design on paper, then transfer that to foam, and put a layer of worbla over it before curving it to your head with heat. I did mine against a wig head and it turned out rather nice! I then attached the diamond with fishing wire, and I did it the same way with worbla and craft foam.
If you need any more advice I'd happily drop you some pictures if I can PM them to you somehow.
To answer your second question, yes! That's official art of Lilith from the 4Koma/Art Book.
>>8873171
would you mind pming them to me i can give you my email if that works for you? i have been working on tharja for a while and its really only the neck piece is what im stuck on.
>>8873186
Absolutely! I totally understand because I worked on Tharja for over a year before actually cosplaying her so I'm happy to help.
>>8873189
thats about how long ive been working on her id like to get her done for summer! so my email is [email protected] . Thanks so much i really appreciate it!
>>8873194
Sent!
>>8873009
ugh they didn't use Gaius's voice for Grey.......and it's really irritating.....might not marry Saizou now hmmm
Shyly self postin' from Katsucon. I had a couple cosplay plans fell through/irl pain and a friend was kind enough to let me borrow her Robin cosplay for the day. It was really fun and I loved seeing everyone at the Saturday shoot! If you were there thanks for making it a fun time. I'm definitely inspired to work on some other costumes and can't wait to play the new game (you know if it would actually get here...)
I'm looking at working on Lissa in the near future to wear with a friend's Lon'qu and I was curious how well received the alternate class designs are? I was considering Sage Lissa just to do something different but haven't had much luck finding concrete references.
>>8874104
Usually they go over pretty well with effort put into them, especially if the character has distinctive hair like Lissa does. Combos like weird Robin designs and less recognizable classes don't seem to do as well. I love the swordmaster Olivia here, for example.
>>8872997
Cyrus and Jakob. They're both tanks in my current play through so it should be a breeze to s rank them when the time comes.
>>8874104
You're so pretty, anon
I preorder both but Im not gonna get em anymore cause they censored it for the west
>>8874104
Yum
>>8874312
Ive been playing the game for about 7 hours and I dont think its as bad as everyone thinks it is.
>wahh muh skinship got taken out, cant touch muh waifus
You still get a live 2D segment and a cute quote, who the fuck cares. Its still a fun strategy game with lots of waifus and lots of cool costumes to make, whats not to like.
>>8874104
You're a pretty Robin! I say go for an alternate class character, like what the previous Anon said. As long as you're recognizeable as Lissa you should be fine!
I'm considering Pegasus Knight Say'ri or Assassin Severa myself.
>>8874422
This, the only thing that was really annoying was getting used to the localized names. Otherwise it's completely fine, I'm liking it a lot. I'm playing Nohr version because I didn't want to have the grinding option like in Birthright, this reminds me more of the older games. Plus everyone is more beautiful. There's no "censoring" or whatever.
Man,looking at alot of the designs and really not feeling them.Not as diverse as Awakening's.Hopefully I find a character that I like enough that I can pull off.Silas is the only one I'm feeling right now
>>8874470
I'm having a similar issue. But the ones I do like (Oboro or Mitama) I am not talented enough to make armor.
>>8874470
To be quite honest, I prefer the promoted classes' designs over the base classes.
>>8874470
I'm actually finding these designs a lot nicer than Awakening's, but seems like I'm in the minority. I really wonder which characters are going to end up being popular to cosplay. Everyone's saying Camilla, but I really doubt armor like that is going to take off compared to the simpler or easier to buy costumes that tend to be popular with Awakening.
>>8874804
I'm stuck between cosplaying Hinoka and Lilith for AX this year.
Then I've always wanted to do Say'ri but I'm not sure if she'll even be that recognizable with all these Fates characters...
>>8874104
Too shy to post what I was wearing but I definitely posed with you at that Saturday shoot and you were such a qt!! I think you should go for sage Lissa, I personally love class change cosplays!
>>8874157
>>8874281
>>8874314
>>8874425
You guys are real sweet. Thank you so much!
I think I'm gonna try and go for it even with limited references... pic related is the largest size I can find save for one that's just a little bit wider but practically the same resolution. I can hardly tell what's going on in this...
>>8875073
Aww shucks. Thank you!! I hope you had a fun time at the shoot too!
>>8875118
Use waifu 2x and use Emmeryn's art.
>>8875125
Oh dammit I feel silly. It's basically the same isn't it? I can't really spot any differences. Thank you for this!
>>8874451
they removed like 5 outfits man
>>8875067
People are still going to recognize and care about Awakening for a long while, and Say'ri has a distinct design. People still cosplay and enjoy the first twelve games, and the localized stuff at least gets appreciated at cons, so why would Awakening be different?
>>8873012
Only for the best son/daughter :3
>>8874804
>Belka: MUH CLAY
Heh
small pic but wanted to show it cuz I had a feeling Velour would be one of the most cosplayed
>>8874804
>YO SOY LA JUSTICIA
every fucking time
>>8875011
Costumes being work intensive/looking like shit have never stopped sluts from sluttin'
Plus there's stuff like "bathing suit Camilla" and "towel Camilla" thanks to the accessory shop, haha.
I also find that I like Fates' designs (and nearly everything, really) way more than Awakening's.
So what's everyone's castle addresses?
I have a few I am interested in but I'm not too sure I really fit. Especially since friends mainly wanna do Nohr group . I'm almost done with Hoshido and going to go play with Nohr route in a few more Chapters, i think
Does anyone have photos from the Saturday meetup at Katsucon? The ones I'm finding are all awful and low res. I blame the fire alarm
>>8883443
Commencing small dump
Should I make the purple parts of Elise's pigtails out of purple wefts or ribbon? Now that I look at it closer, it looks like ribbon, but would wefts look better?
>>8883523
End dump
Nonshit looking Ike where?
>>8872977
CUTE
>>8883460
That dark blood princess is pretty nice, I wonder how limited the movement in it was...
>>8883523
What is with their make up...
Also the undershirt is pretty clearly sheer fabric in the sprites. At least use a tan/dark brown colour if you dont want to expose your boobs...
>>8883453
I love this
>>8883460
These are really nice, I wish the Leo had better wig and makeup though
>>8883519
I can't stop laughing at his tail
>>8883523
Yikes
>>8883519
Jfc that tail
I want to do another class of one of the characters, how recognizable will it be? I feel like everyone will just recognize the main charaacters
>>8885064
Which character and class? As long as you have a well styled wig they're mostly recognizable!
I'm going to be doing either Keaton (why did they change the name) or Asugi (WHY DID THEY CHANGE THE NAME) I already had stuff put together for Gaius so it would make sense to finish it, but I was a bit overly ambitious and made everything out of leather so it's been very slow and difficult to work with.
When do you think we'll start seeing these monstrosities at cons?
>>8885775
Nobody actually looks at that and thinks that looks anything like Corrin, right?
>>8885801
I mean, people bought those absolutely atrocious Robin coats, so I could see it happening.
>>8885775
Tons of people bought this shitty Robin cosplay and still do. People who are too lazy to make the outfit will surely buy it until there is a better one coming out.
it seems well beyond my abilities to make a wig for this work the way i want it to. the ones posted itt i don't like the look of, how would you go about doing this without such a cheap/fake looking divide in the white and black?
>>8886547
Arda's Rufio seems like a good place to start. You could either add a shitton of wefts to the back or splice in pieces of white & black long wigs to get dat wolfskin mullet. The "fake-looking divides" are just from people who don't know how to blend the fibers well after you've done the wefting/splicing.
i noticed a lot of cosplayers are using a navy/dark blue for oboro's hair and outfit but the official art shows them to be black. am i going to be torn apart for following the official art and not game renders? also is the braid on her head a headband or hair....
>>8887663
Might want to adjust your monitor. To me it looks like her hair is a dull dark blue and her clothes are an almost black navy. I think the braid is a hairband because it's darker than the rest of her hair.
>>8887663
>>8887688
i probably shouldn't have used that image. this one is the character profile from the official artbook which shows everything to be black. but again game renders and images are all navy/dark blue.
>>8887695
Oh yeah I see. I'm of the opinion that you should go with whatever is seen in the game because that's what people are going to be familiar with (e.g., green hair FFVI Terra although blonde is more recognizable now thanks to Dissidia). Heck this is the first time I've seen that official art image. But it's your cosplay so your choice.
>>8887695
The more accurate official art would actually be the one in game since the renders were drawn by Kozaki. IIRC there's a comic anthology for FE14, so that image is probably by the artist who drew the comics. Like >>8887699 said, it might be best that you go with the blue tones since most people will recognize Oboro's colors from the game and might not come across those pictures.
>>8883449
It's definitely ribbons in her hair
>>8883449
Marx (or someone, it's foggy now) mentions at the beginning of the game that Elise dyed it to match Camilla.
>>8886491
I would think you'd want to start with a regimental coat pattern. You just don't build the pockets or epaulets and replace the collar with the hood. Then remove material from the lapel. At that point you have the basic shape of it and even that will look far nicer than that garbage. Dear God that is hideous.
>>8873217
hey! also a Tharja cosplayer here. I'm stuck on the same problem and I've been ignoring it for a few months but I really want to finish her off. could you also please email the stuff to me? my email is [email protected]
thanks in advance!
>>8883460
anybody know who the corrin is? I wanna check out her stuff (and steal some inspo for my own dark blood corrin...)
Self post. I made this costume before the games came out because I hate myself but I GOT IT MOSTLY RIGHT.
>>8890322
Rubyfia Cosplay. In my case, I can't decide between the dark blood or white blood outfit, I'd like to do a duo with someone but I don't know anyone who likes Fire Emblem and is into cosplay.
For Elise's hair, should I build bases out of foam and cover them in wefts? Also, what should I go about making her outfit out of? I was thinking pleather for more of an armour-y feel but I'm not super sure.
>>8890350
I'm in love
>>8869251
Camilla is pretty difficult though, looking at it to make this summer. A lot of the people I've seen just do a half-assed makeup test and call it good because they don't want to put in the effort. I"m guessing there will be a lot of Flannels, Velour, and Leos.
>>8880155
Effie I'm so happy omg
>>8869419
>Corrin wearing shoes
>>8890542
same, anon! i hope to cosplay her or scarlet soon
>>8890350
>couldn't be bothered to take your trashy piercings out
>me first cosplay
5/10
>>8890595
>barefoot at convention
>>8883449
>>8887737
Wefts, it's her hair. The A rank support with Camilla confirms it.
>>8890350
>I made this costume before the games came out because I want the attention that comes with being first
FTFY. Your mask is nice and you make a good Rinkah, but come on, at least be honest about your motivations.
>>8890849
That's adorable, holy crap
>>8883523
pork chop
>>8883523
I knew this would happen
plz dont do this to mai husbando
How do you guys rank the difficulty of costumes by factions?
>>8891162
That's literally what you just said but in more words
>>8890541
I see a lot of planned Camillas, but I'm guessing a lot will end up being lazy "no armor" versions, or "teehee bikini/bathhouse" laziness.
I actually really like her, so I want to cosplay her, but growing backlog of older FE cosplans says I shouldn't jump on it yet.
>pic related
>someday I will have a Genealogy group
>>8891162
doesnt change the fact you have those shitty piercings still in.
>>8891403
You sound mad, anon
Were you making the same cosplay she made first?
Sorry you won't get the FIRST attention
Cry more
>>8891349
I'll join your geneology group.
That game had a ridiculous impact on me, despite the translation mod crapping out on me at the credits scene, freezing the game and making me never actually finish. RIP. Maybe I'll play the game again when I have free time.
>>8869251
Judging by instagram tags and wips, Camilla's becoming the go-to for fatties. Is it the big tits + covered stomach?
I expect A LOT of Hoshido cosplays over Nohr though. With the heavy armor, I don't see many characters making an appearance in the ebay/taobao market and everyone seems to prefer the "Japanese" style.
Would I have to dye my eyebrows white?
>>8891881
no
there are tutorials on youtube that teach you how to hide your eyebrows with make up and a glue stick
>>8891885
What do you mean by hide my eyebrows, exactly? Wouldn't that look even more odd than just having off-color eyebrows?
Sorry, I'm a little clueless in this kind of business. I've only ever cosplayed brown/black haired characters.
>>8891403
>piercings
It's a single nose stud you salty dipshit
>>8891887
you'll want to draw them back on after you hide them. i'd say just google 'cosplay eyebrow tutorial', you'll probably what you need
>>8891895
Oh, fuck. That's what you meant. I'm so sleepy.
Thanks for the quick responses!
>>8891899
i'm actually not the anon that replied to you initially, but you're welcome! good luck
>>8891908
>>8891404
Kamui is out here winning entire fights without taking a single life, and you two are at each other's throats over a cosplayer's decision to wear a stud.
No more fighting.
We can all be friends.
Everything will be okay.
I dunno why but I really expected when fates came out for there to be waaaaay more cosplays of it or people planning to cosplay it. I'm kinda sad
>>8885194
Adventurer Nina?
>>8893865
Did the Charlotte cosplayer make the neckpiece so big that it covered her entire chest?
>>8893865
I am planning to cosplay from it, I just have like 3 other costumes in front of it that I aready have the materials and plans for.
I'm hoping to do Oboro or maybe Hinoka eventually, maybe sometime next year. I'm still planning on doing Olivia from Awakening, so you can tell how behind I am haha.
>>8893865
All my friends are brimming with Fates cosplay plans. There are at least 4 characters I'd love to cosplay, but time and money mean that's probably not going to happen.
>>8890350
That's pretty cool she's one of my favourite character.
You have dem abs at least?
>>8893865
Was that it? That's like 8 people
Are there any Male Kamui cosplays? He is my husbando (no homo)
>>8894602
The only one I've found so far on worldcosplay, female Kamui seems to be a lot more popular.
>>8891912
You cant make me with that disgusting tumblr art.
and
>not taking a single life
Have you even played the game
>>8894969
Well... They tried their best!
It's the thought that counts, right? Right...
>>8890350
I usually throw a shitfit about piercings like other anons, but it just makes you look more tribal, it's okay.
>>8894969
Did you even play conquest, anon? Because the art makes sense if, you know, you actually played it.
>>8895186
Their comment** not the art
My friends all want to do royalty and here I am doing one of the more humble Fates designs welp. It'll still be fun, I hope.
>>8895196
Hope your friends are good at armour
If they suck and your costume is rockin you'll get way more praise. Except maybe from fujos.
>>8890439
You're the best anon, thanks! I'm in the same boat with those outfits, too. Let's do them together.
>>8891796
See I thought that too but everybody and their mother is sucking dick for Nohr. I think for speed we'll see a lot of new Hoshido in the next 3-4 months at cons but in general Nohr might make a killing at a con like, say, Katsucon.
Speaking of armor, what would be most durable for MU's outfit here? I was thinking of looking into a thermoplastic rather than craft foam but I'm unsure if it's worth the extra expense. Worbla??
From the bad makeup thread
>>8896710
Is that very badly hot glued polar fleece with the seam allowance on the outside? And felt with sharpie?
>>8896710
this is a hot mess, from the make upto the costume.
>>8896710
The more I look at this, the more atrocious it is
>>8895186
You still take lives in Conquest, unless the kitsune, and Female Corrin/Elise B support doesn't count? Corrin avoids it all cost, but they certainly have killed.
Unless I am completely misinterpreting your comment. I'm sleep deprived and no day off in sight.
>>8896710
I saw this in the tag and scrolled real fast when I saw the makeup,ugh. Now I just noticed that the costume is all fleece, making it worse.
>>8896710
Are... are they wearing that inside out on purpose?
On the flip side here's a pretty nice Takumi. It was done before the game came out in the US but I think they did a good job.
>>8897473
Hair's the wrong color and pose is very boring with bad posture but otherwise not bad. Smells like self post tho.
>>8897927
its not, just an artist I follow on tumblr
>>8883460
commencing photo dumb of that Kamui
>>8901491
>>8901492
>>8901491
>>8901491
>>8901492
>>8901498
>>8901498
This is really well made, the elbows/forearms/gauntlets especially, but there's something off/unflattering about how the torso and lower body armor sits. Maybe it just doesn't translate well to real life.
>>8872495
I also cosplayed tharja, but I used craft foam for the neck/crown.
Made a paper template, cut out the pieces, used pen to press the edge "seam" of neck(can't think of word), used a heat gun to shape them, primed+plastidip, paint.
Getting inspired to start on "Laslow". I would love to convince my friends to do Odin and Selena with me.
Waiting for my copy of Conquest. Is there a reason why Kamui is barefoot?
>>8903056
Yes
Cause Corrin's a dragon and they dont need shoes
>>8902290
highly stylized armor for an hourglass figure doesn't work if you don't have the bone structure for said hourglass - the armor will actually make you look fatter if you try to keep the stylized design without adjusting
tl;dr yes, doesn't translate to real life unless you are genetically predisposed to such outfits.
>>8902982
Your odin friend had better be shredded
>>8901501
I don't recognize this armor. Which class is it? The silhouette is kind of unflattering, unfortunately. It makes her look dumpy, which she's clearly not. I dunno if it's just because this design cannot be translated well to real life or if it's just been done too bulky here.
>>8903365
I wanted to say Nohr Noble, but the leg part isn't accurate so I'm not too sure.
>>8903379
it is nohr noble, people also call it "dark blood" or something like that,
Do ya think Rhajat will end up being as popular to cosplay as Tharja? Or is there gonna be a new Tharja?
>>8905010
not really. i haven't seen any talk about her or anything much. the royal family will be pretty popular though. especially camilla
>>8905083
I never would have thought because the armor is very complicated. But it really does seem that way. I just want to see some Xander and Ryoma
>>8905086
My friends are planning a Xander/Ryoma duo for AX, and they're both pretty experienced cosplayers, so I'm hoping they look great!
>>8905010
She may look like Tharja but she doesn't have the same sex appeal as Tharja
>>8903365
Dark blood princess, its the promoted class for Kamui (Also known as Nohr princess in the localised version)
>>8905083
Nah it'll mostly be casual camillas because very few will actually be able to make her armor. There are a lot of cosplay plans flying around right now, but I'm guessing about 20% will actually turn into real cosplays.
Yaya's playing rn, 10 bucks she makes Camilla tho
>>8905159
oh no, why do things i love have to be taken by Yaya....i guess she'd fit camilla better than any character
>>8905171
"taken by Yaya"? Really? Are you one of those people that hates her just because /cgl/ tells you to?
Yeah, she likes to cosplay sexy characters and i can see where that would upset some people. But damn if she does Camilla she'll do her better than anyone else, I'd bet on it.
>>8905171
I think she'd make an amazing Reina/Yuugiri but she'll never do it.
>>8905637
I was being sarcastic i really don't care what she does. I do think though she could definitely pull off Camilla.
>>8905010
rhajat is ugly
>>8905092
This. Without the yandere aspect plebs just can't be bothered. Also her costume isn't nearly as skanky.
>>8905090
>Xander/Ryoma duo for AX
This is motivating me to go to AX tb. h. The real question is do they look like (or can they make themselves look like) Xander and Ryoma.
Anyone got some decent Maribelle cosplays?
>>8907223
Ngl I think they can work on their makeup a bit more, but they're both pretty tall, and they work out and are built enough that I think they can pull it off. They've done a good number of armor cosplays too, so it's not like they don't know what they're doing.
>>8907216
It's not, the online shop one looks like the whole outfit was printed on the fabric while the cosplayer tried to emulate some of the armor parts. The colors are obviously different as well.
>>8907257
you now have a duty to post them once they're finished
>tfw want to cosplay Rinkah
>not shredded
Well, I do want to work out now, but her build isn't what I'd actually want to have. Why this.
Maybe I can just be Nina, she's ... slightly tanned, I guess..
>>8908402
You don't need to work out that much. I mean she's far from strong in the game.
So I took another picture of these 2 earlier on this day and the Robin had no tome. I told her she should find an old book or something. When I ran into them later, she had copped the Bible from her hotel room nightstand.
Fuck it, it's been forever since we had an FE thread. Posting my shoddy attempt at Sm4sh Roy. Thoughts?
I'm thinking about cosplaying Felicia but I can't for the love of god figure out how her dress works. Is it two pieces? An undershirt with the ruffle and the black dress with the "apron" part attached? Or is the apron part a third layer? It'd be great to hear another opinion.
>>8912952
Dress with a cut out and white inset, attached collar and ruff. Separate apron with straps. You definitely want to do the cut with which fabric stitched to the facing to keep the heart shape. Having a separate blouse would add a lot of bulk and make keeping the shape much more difficult and complex than it needs to be.
>>8912974
>You definitely want to do the cut with which fabric stitched to the facing
Meaning: 'you definitely want to do the cut out with fabric stitched to the facing'. sorry I can't English today.
Any selfposters mind if I use your image for a single flyer at a convention?
>>8886491
I made Robin's coat from scratch, and it was an absolute pain in the ass to do. I don't blame novice cosplayers from just buying one.
Still, that shit's so inaccurate I'd hate to wear it.
>>8883449
Old post, but related to your question. I thought it was ribbons too, when I first saw Elise's design
>>8912952
WHY HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS ART. Is it from the artbook? I swear last time I sniffed around there wasn't full bodied/costume detail shots of anyone but the royals, really, and even then it was scarce.
>>8912109
I would recognize you as Roy.
>>8916725
Its probably from the full artbook. The ones usually with SE of any game are the small ones.
What do I do with the center darker red piece for Sakura? I have seen people use vinyl but it looks kind of weir?
>>8890845
you can pretty easily make a covering that is relative fleshtone. Even just get those stupid toe-shoes and paint them.
Are there any fat playable characters? I'd rather not be "Fat Insert-Character-Name" if I can help if but all I can think of are NPC/Enemies from Awakening/Fates (only ones I've played).
>>8916830

this isn't really a bad cosplay by any means..... but... i don't know, i can't put my finger on it...
it's just so.. boring?? yeah, boring is the word. her face is boring (not to mention totally not an expression olivia would make), her makeup is boring
her body isn't bad at all, but it is very flat all around, and she could've at least stuffed a bit for volume.
6/10, like i said, not bad at all, it just could really be spruced up
>>8916830
fat fedora draj
>>8916725
>>8916798
It's from the "Making of Fire Emblem" book, but it's a series-encompassing book so I don't think they have art of all of the Fates characters. Felicia so far is the only non-Royal to have full art. Hopefully they'll release a Fates version of Knights of Iris soon.
There are some more scans at the FeIFscans tumblr with some other characters but they're not amazingly detailed.
>>8891891
shes probably mad because her mom told her she cant pierce her bellybutton
>>8917121
Nice projecting
>she
>assuming everyone is female.
>never really done a sexy cosplay before since im more suited for tomboys/ghibli girls
>lower end of healthy weight spectrum, still got a little chub
but i really, really wanna try tharja or nyx
im probably more suited for the former since i have bigger hips, but i adore nyx
>>8917127
>getting this defensive
hit the nail on the head didnt we
>>8917138
HOW DID YOU KNOW OH MY GOD ARE YOU A PSYCHIC
>>8917134
There's no right answer to this and really it boils down to you asking yourself the tough questions, but here's what I'm doing. Im in the same boat and I want to cosplay Olivia. To me the only options I have are
>lose weight
>accept my body for what it is and get over it
Personally Im trying to lose weight, and it has been working, albeit slowly. But truth is no adult will ever have proportions like these characters (especially Nyx), so at some point you will have to accept that and come to grips with the fact that you're doing the best you can.
Also part of my plan is just to have really nice craftsmanship so people focus on that and not my body.
>>8916973
I fucking LOVE Draj's design and would kill to see more fatties try her. I'm still mad she wasn't a legit character with a bunch of supports and just a "capturable" enemy.
It's so rare to have a fat lady wearing such a cute, fitting outfit, especially from a JRPG.
>>8917551
>so people focus on that and not my body
lol good luck
Are you counting calories or just going "oh I'll eat less"? Being vigilant about it will get you faster results.
>>8917665
Im surprised that no SJW fatties have attempted to do her yet, they all seem to be pooling around Camilla, cos WOW FAT=TITS! tho i wouldnt count on them to even know about Draj existing in the game.
>she cant wear any bikinis/swimsuits in game.
>>8917667
>she cant wear any bikinis/swimsuits in game.
This was probably because they didn't want to skin them for just one model, but there is definitely an interpretation of "Japan hates fatties" to be had, haha.
>>8917674
I know, tho SJWs would call it fatshaming. how dare they not allow a fat person to wear a swimsuit! If they just shoved her onto a regular model I think that would cause even more chaos desu
Bringing some fresh bad cosplay I found.
Leo with armor made out of unpainted, unsealed foam
>>8917900
Also a Camilla who literally bought a black corset and painted gold lines where her armor is supposed to be.
>>8917947
oh sweet jesus i need to make love to this robin
>>8917134
If you adore Nyx, you should go for it. Cosplay is about having fun blah blah blah
>>8917913
NO Camilla's "horns" are part of her crown not fuzzy kitty ears why
>>8917913
I thought that it was an armor with shit paint job but knowing that the gold was painted on a corset now just makes me hate it even more.
>>8918597
The owner posted this on the Fire Emblem Cosplay page on Facebook the other day offering it for free to anyone who will pay shipping/pick it up. Shipping is expensive because of all the armor and bow, but if anyone is an XS (with a 30" bust and 24" waist) it hasn't been taken yet...
>>8869826
This makes me happy
>>8917046
Thank you!
>>8921162
L-leo's shoes....
>>8921255
If only they didn't have to distract from an otherwise cute pic.
>>8921255
Asian people usually go for the height accuracy instead of shoe accuracy
Would a black morphsuit be okay to use under Leo's armor ?
>>8925794
Yeah, as long as you think you wont get too hot. Obviously you need the turtleneck and the thigh coverage (or not - ayy), but having a bodysuit on underneath will be more comfortable against all the armor.
>>8925794
Perosnally I thinkmaybe a black turtleneck and white leggings would work better?
not the best Azura in the world, they'll probably be better cosplays of her in the future.
>>8925794
I second the turtleneck + leggings but that's just me for wearability's sake. You won't see where the two connect anyway and you don't have to take off the entire costume or need a friend to go to the bathroom.
>>8928058
Jesus christ. I knew that stupid hair in the middle of her face was going to cause issues.
>>8928058
I think the dress is pretty good but the wig is horrendous and the veil isnt transparent enough making her her face look really fat?
>>8928058
Aside from the awkward middle-bang-thing I think she looks alright. My main complaint is that the wig is the wrong color, seems in game like Azura has much paler blue hair, not so saturated.
>>8930776
I plan on making Shigure in the future and I've actually had a good amount of difficulty finding the correct blue for their hair color. Epic's Ice Blue appears to be the closest match I've found so far, but that's almost too desaturated.
>>8930848
looks nice to me anon! It is difficult to find that nice, bright baby blue without being too pale, but I think this is a good interpretation.
>>8930848
the thing is blue in aqua/shigure's shade makes your skin look dark, so i guess you need a good balance.
>>8930968
I'm ghostly pale so that at least will not be an issue.
>>8930776
The problem I've found is that most of the main western wig brands really don't have nice desaturated colours, especially blues. I came up empty-handed trying to find a match for Setsuna until I searched on AliExpress for Sayaka Miki wigs. Asian wig sellers seem to be more on top of current character hair colour trends.
>>8886491
Tbh I bought mine off of Cosplayfu,
and yeah I admit I could've tried to make a better one but I still felt my Robin came out pretty good.
>>8931012
Well i guess you dont have to worry there then haha,
>tfw cosplaying henry and you have average not so white skin and the wig makes you look like you sat in the sun for a week
>>8932035
wow that chrom is pretty hot.
>>8932035
Yeah you look pretty good anon. I'm not a fan of the wrinkled cuff but Im being picky.
You hot Chrom friend can get it tho

There's a newer version of Robin on Taobao that I think looks a lot better than the ones before if you're looking to buy one, anon.
Meanwhile I'll keep waiting for more Fates cosplays to come out on Taobao besides Azura...

That does look better, thanks.
Now to learn how to buy stuff off of Taobao

Dear lord that price. But i guess that's what you pay for a nice cosplay.
>>8933181
He looks attractive to me. Not to mention I've seen a lot of chroms at conventions in my lifetime and none of them have looked as good as this one.
This F!Corrin has over 500 upvotes on /r/FireEmblem on Reddit. I really can't bring myself to like it...
>>8934223
She's so cute from the neck up and such a hot mess everywhere else...
>>8934223
The armor on her arms and legs looks nice, but other than that?
Some people may just upvote it because they see it has so many upvotes, or just quickly glance at it. Meh. I cant bash her because it looks like she's off to an okay start, she just needs more effort on the fabric and clothing part of the costume. And that Yato.
>>8935150
Yeah. Look at the two, the only differences are the buttons and the gold bits added onto the shoulder seams.
>>8933206
got a link for the azura ones you saw ?
>>8937799
different anon but here, they look shit tho
