wig a little too long, wrong boots and colors off but everything else is good. they did a good job with the gray skin and the belt and gems are nice.

looks good except the boots yet again.

>>9046568
Ahhh those boots are killing me, this could've been really good ...but i cant stop staring at them

>>9046558
Would this be a cosplay a flat chested girl would have to pad for? I'm literally flat chested and all the examples I've seen range from medium to huge busts. I'm getting really tired of getting insulted for my chest at cons whenever I cosplay anything bigger than an aa-cup.

>>9046825
I wouldn't worry about it especially if you go teen Titan route.

Pad if it'll make you feel more comfortable though.

>>9046695
something about this one bugs me but I'm not sure what it is?

>>9046832
I accidentally left it out somehow, but yeah I'm only really into the cartoon version. Honestly I feel more uncomfortable padding, but it beats getting stopped constantly just for some guy to tell me I don't have any tits and shouldn't be cosplaying constantly.

This is a good idea for someone who can't/won't be able to edit pictures but still wants an interesting pose.

>>9046858
Do people seriously take the time out of their day to stop and tell you your breast aren't as big as the characters? That actually happens?

That really blows my mind

>>9046891
Yes, what else would you expect from people that want giant tits in every shot, hate armor that actually functions, and watches tons of porn everyday? I get it from normies in day to day life too, but I've never seen anyone more offended by me being flat chested than "nerdy" guys. I wasn't cosplaying "average" or revealing characters either. This is pretty offtopic though and would be better to discuss in the con stories thread.

>>9046901
yeah sorry don't wanna derail the thread but it's just such a strange idea for me to walk up to a girl and say "hey your tits are smaller than the character your dressed as"

Why? what compelled someone to even point that out? do they believe they are helping you? defending something? I just don't understand.

>>9046905
Annoyed that I'm not good enough to fap to I'm guessing. It's not like they're normies who think cosplay is a themed strip club either, they're obviously fans. Just imagine the guys that complain about video games don't have enough giggle physics or about how GOT should have even more rape scenes and boob scenes. I could understand if I'm cosplaying super sonico or quiet where the whole point is the boobs, but I'm cosplaying characters who get called flat chested in universe and are never even really a b-cup. It's never really just pointing out it's usually an insult and very rarely a "Your costume looks good, but you won't actually be a good cosplayer until you get boobs."

>>9046908
I wanna call bullshit because I have honestly never seen/had this shit happen ever. Only time I even hear about it is online

Are you literally as flat as a child? Cgl has had similar conversations a million times be it boob size, cosplay critique irl, weeb stories, creep stories, sissy stories, and etc. don't believe it if you want. I just figured I'd ask for this costume and save myself the trouble if other girls got it too.

For a more ontopic discussion what materials do y'all think would be best for the bodysuit? I really hate the way these kind look.

>>9046957
Not the anon you are replying to, but this happens to me too and I understand your disbelief. I have told my friends this type of thing happens to me and I can tell they don't believe me. They're pretty hot though, so it's a different world I guess.

>>9046974
Her bodysuit has a sheen in canon, but I'm not sure how to translate that into 3d without it looking cheap or inaccurate.

>>9046970
I'm a B-cup. Probably flatter than most but ??. I've had my fair share of creeps but nobody that has actually said anything about my boobs to my face.

Back on topic: I don't like the shiny bodysuits either. I prefer the kind of standard, fabric ones but I think it all depends on how your cape/accessories look. I'm planning on making a Raven cosplay for next year so I've been trying to decide with what version I want to go for

I helped a friend do a Raven cosplay for a con earlier this year (and before you ask, I won't post pictures, I'm sure she wouldn't appreciate being posted to cgl). She got her tights from welovefine, and I used liquid make-up to make a perfect match to her tights. I used Pro-Aiir's hybrid liquid make-up in black and white and mixed it until it was the color she wanted. I applied it with a kabuki brush and sponges. Her tights were waaaay too dark though, which meant when we applied the make-up, her face was a very dark grey. So remember to think about what the color look like on your face before you buy your tights.

B-cup is average, not even small. Look up Melissa Ashley (nsfw) if you want to know what I mean by *literally* flat.

>>9046982
Speaking of tights I'm thinking of going with welovecolors' light grey. It may be too light, but I'd rather have that than too dark like their gray tights for Raven.

>>9046983
That's probably best, thanks anon.

>>9046976
Velvet maybe? That's always what I interpreted the bodysuit as.

>>9047001
My friend went with the "grey". It was waaay too dark.

>>9047014
Thanks so much anon. That looks perfect.

I'm still at a loss for the belt. I know I'm making the jewels out of resin but I don't want the belt itself to look cheap. That's always been a pet peeve of mine

This was made by an obnoxious sjw, but it was the best one I could find.

"Raven Belt Tutorial Type Thing!

First thing I’m going to note is that I used a dremel for a lot of this. For safety reasons, you should wear a mask and goggles, because resin dust stings when it’s in your throat and hurts when it’s in your eyes (as I learned, from not having either of these things). Safety first!

1. First thing was getting the gems. I cast my gems out of Castin’ Craft’s Easy Cast epoxy resin. I use the transparent dye. I pretty much just follow the instructions that gives me, so there’s not much really to say here. I’ve got a full picture of the gems here. (Also for information on the molds I used, go here!)

2. Once all the gems were cast and good, I took a Dremel and cut notches into the sides of each gem so the chain of the belt would fit there. Do this only for the belt ones! The brooch I dremeled down the edges a bit so it’d fit into the ring better, which I explain a little better in step 4.

The belt itself I made with 2.5" rings and a chain that I opened the rings of and took apart. These things I picked up from our leather supply store. To get the length I wanted, originally I had five links of chain in between each ring, but that was really big, so I made it four. It’s probably about 36" around? It sits comfortably on top of my hips.

3. Normally I like using a better quality adhesive, but for my purposes, I used hot glue. The belt is glued on top of the gems, with the chain lining up with the notches.

>>9047086
4. NOT SHOWN! Because the gems were a little bigger than the rings, I took the Dremel again and beveled the edges of the back to have a smoother transition from the ring to the gem, and also to get rid of the sharp edge. This could also be done with sandpaper, it’d just take longer. This is especially where you’d need the mask and goggles because there are a lot of pieces flying everywhere.

5. I used a gold foil that I picked up at Curry’s for the backing, which I just carefully glued around the edges. I tried putting my gems on a bunch of different colours to see which colour I personally liked best as the backing, and chose gold. Had I made the gems darker, I probably would have picked silver. I also added a pin backing to the one that’s my brooch."

The jewels look a bit too big and the chains look too small imo, but that could be adjusted.

>>9047086
Thanks, anon!

>>9046974
>>9046972
>>9046970
I think the very first image posted (the OP post) is the best looking. Looks good and not cheap. Colors and materials are pretty much perfect in the OP post. The shiny fabrics always look shitty for Raven imo.

>>9047270
Oh my god that beast boy.

>>9047268
Why heels though? Is it really that hard to find semi-accurate shoes?
>>9047270
Should've edited him out of the picture

>>9046842
The nose, the wig, the contouring

>>9046825
the girl in OP post is also a swimsuit and underwear model so of course she has a big rack, however I don't think it's needed for a Raven cosplay from the cartoon.

>>9046891
people do this kind of shit online but only the most autistic fedora would actually say that in public

Hard to find cartoon raven cosplays that are acurate.

>>9046891
Yeah, really. Even the most socially awkward aspie should know random comments like that won't get you a good response.

>>9047727
Im pretty sure theres padding too. Looking at the bra showing through the costume it may have been one of those black silky looking bras from victorias secret that adds cup sizes. Or she just may be blessed with good fat distribution idk. I always also see ravens smiling in pics or trying tp be sexy in some way but even the cartoon raven was "meh" about everything and had that "im sick of your shit" look on her face. It almost makes me wanna cosplay with someone and stay in character the whole time just for fun.

>>9047209
The material for the bodysuit is the same as >>9046974 it's just the lighting and bust size making it look different. I'm definitely going with velvet, it matches canon perfectly. The material this girl used for the cloak looks pretty good too.

>>9047744
>>9048149
Go visit places like gamespot or PUA forums, it's that kind of guy. They aren't usually a stereotypical neckbeard physically in my experiences, but almost always personality wise. The random normies who say it to me are usually the "Chad" type of guys and old men so idk what's up with that. But the guys at cons are usually the kind that only interact with their mother and women in video games/anime/porn.

They aren't hitting on me or expecting a good response, it's just an insult because I'm considered an absolute failure of a woman to them. Can we move on now? I know the janitor is a lot less trigger happy when it comes to cosplay, but I'd rather not get this thread deleted.

>>9046891
I've heard "breasts aren't big enough" as well as "skirt isn't short enough."

stop shitting up the thread with your inane bullshit arguments and irrelevant cosplay pics.
Anyway, back on topic of Raven cosplays.
I like the belt on this one a lot.

>>9049065
I think the belt looks really cheap and almost like it melted, but it's cool to see someone do something other than chains.

>>9049067
It looks like the characters belt so I thought that was cool. I don't understand those fucking long boots, those bangs or the makeup though. If you're cosplaying cartoon raven do it right.

>>9049065
This one is almost great but the makeup is killing me (and those boots)

Still don't get why people can't find accurate shoes. Do they just give up?

>>9049155
Probably, a lot of these also look like fetish/"sexy" photoshoots so they usually either only care about looking sexy and recognizable or they purposely choose inaccurate things to be sexier. The OP pic is even a swimsuit model according to someone in the thread

>>9049155
They look easy enough to make even, either with a sole or on top of a pair of flats.

>>9049158
OP pic is a girl that makes a living modeling kinky outfits and yet she has the most accurate Raven cosplay so far.

I wasn't using her as an example of a bad cosplay, just that there was a confirmed model posted. I said that in the post you replied to. Did you not read the whole thing?

>The OP pic is even a swimsuit model according to someone in the thread

>>9049262
I always laugh when I see this.

which Raven is your fave? Comic or cartoon?

>>9050854
Cartoon definitely. I'm not into comics at all and Teen Titans isn't an exception. From what I've seen she sounds a lot more pretentious and mopey, or at least it feels a lot more like that because of how much older she is/looks.

>>9050854
I like the comic version more aesthetically but I grew up watching Teen Titans so the cartoon version is the one I plan on cosplaying

>>9055169
You need to work on your makeup skills and get some better material for the cape. And your wig looks cheap and your poses are awkward as hell

>>9055169
I can see through your cape, and it's wrinkling because the fabric is too lightweight for its intended purpose.

Self post since others are doing it
Cosplaying Raven soon I've finished the belt and all that now (this of course without makeup on)
What you guys think? Got a week to make adjustments

>>9060690
something about the wig just looks off. Maybe it'd look better with the hood up?
and then I guess white tights and you're good to go.

>>9047727
What is her name?

>>9060690
you don't have the body for it

real talk, not trolling you'll wind up on some weird website of "bad cosplays" or "fat girl cosplays" in a year if you go out in public with that

if that's all fine with you and shit

then more power to you

>>9056122
She's very obviously an adult you dumbass.

>>9060690
The widow's peak on the wig looks really bad t.bh. I definitely second covering it up with the hood. Other than that everything looks pretty good.

>>9061105
Dude if you honestly think that she's 'fat' then idk what to say to you

Some people on here have the most skewed idea of what fat and skinny is

>>9061124
never said she was fat, she probably looks damn good in everyday clothing.

Just the way her body is shaped isn't going to work with the cosplay

>>9061105
did you accidentally reply to the wrong image or something?

This one on the other hand looks pretty bad, especially that belt.

I'm not sure if she fully painted herself but I'm pretty impressed that she seems to be all the same weird tone of color Raven is. I like the belt on her and the styling of the wig too to frame her face. I agree she's adorable.
