Pokemon

It's kind of lame, but I'm going to be doing umbreon for myself, eevee for my child. I have some pieces from my first attempt at umbreon, which was pretty lackluster but had decent furry bits, which I'm going to cannibalize and improve. I was going to use some old pajamas to make the ears/tail for eevee, but the faux fur was damaged in the wash, so I'm looking for other fabric. The light bits are a sherpa-type, so I'm trying to find the perfect fabric with a similar texture for the brown bits.

Hopefully it's okay. I don't want to wind up in the bad cosplay thread, but I also don't want to put a ton of time and money into these costumes.

Did anyone else go to the PokeGo event at Little Tokyo on Sunday?

Also am planning on doing a Pokemon professor group for Anime California maybe.

>>9124620
Haven't played the Pokemon Go game yet (no phone), but I do like the trainer designs and my roommate's been playing it non-stop. I might make costumes from the game for us.

Is there any bigger artwork of the team leaders yet?

>>9125291

One of my friends is a perfect fit for her. Even fits her taste in cosplay.

Also looking forward to seeing the new characters cosplayed. Lana and Mallow are cute.

I'm torn between wanting to make a costume based on my own Pokemon GO Trainer now, or waiting until Niantic starts adding even more Trainer Customization options (since they have once now already, and I know people are desperate for more. New hairstyles, more clothes, bags and shoes...)

I'd just hate to put the time and effort into making the costume and end up having a totally different-looking Trainer a month or two later

>>9124620
So many people do this outfits as jumpsuits, but the way I've seen it is that they have...like..a crop jacket over the one-piece?
It still looks fine. I guess it's to make it easier?

>>9128519
The pink/pink I think is supposed to be a jumpsuit as they've removed the rib texture at the bottom of the jumper. It's one piece with a Tshirt under it.
Then the rest are playsuit under a cropped jacket.

Though OP is so far from the fucking game it's terrible.

I really want to see someone do a cosplay of her

>>9137690
Can I suggest, if you didn't plan on it previously, make stuff flair out?

Like use interfacing or something so the skirt and poncho/shell don't sit on you limply. Maybe add some sort of boning in the white part of the poncho to make it hold the shape that's in the drawing?

If you do that I'd LOVE to see it when done.

>>9137690
No worries, I got advice from a friend who is a seamstress. She notes that although the designs are pretty, some of the aspects of the designs aren't possible/realistic. She also mentioned adding tulle or even stuffing the shell to give it some shape.

>>9137874
As well, I plan to make the crinoline out of aluminum strips, similar to those use for cookie cutting, and attach the pieces through small rivets and some scotch weld. This will add to the 'poof' to the back.
To prevent the skirt from shifting forward, I will be attaching either a pillow or a piece of worbla to the butt area so it will sit comfortably.

>>9137882
This makes me so happy to hear. Limp and wrong fabric used cowslip cosplays are lame

Good luck to you and your friend Anon!

>>9137894
Thank you fellow anon, super nervous, but excited!
I'm having trouble finding the proper fabric for the main skirt. I need something matte so its not flashy, but that constitutes as dress material, and that can take disperse dye and fabric paint/applique...

Kind of want to cosplay her but I'm not sure how well her hair will translate into real life. Limp ponytails aren't going to look right, but they're so thin that having them stick out will probably look really silly. Might be better to make them a little thicker so they look better. Big fan of her makeup though.

Her hair is weird. It kind of makes me think they were using cyber locks as a reference. Since the whole team seems to have a punk look going on.

>>9139007
Yeah, it's definitely seems like a cyberpunk/cybergoth inspired look. My main concern it just that each...piece? of hair is just one thick clump. there aren't strands or anything, just 4 thick chunks haha. With just 4 pieces of hair coupled with the flatness on top of the head, it's gonna be a tough look to pull off. I wonder how people will go about the massive hair parting as well.

>>9147759
As much as I like his cosplays, they're always really rushed. His spark already shows sings of rushing, I mean yeah I guess speedbuilding is kind of his thing but you can really see it in the end results as well. I wish he'd just take his time to make his costumes with more care.

I might crossplay Hilda (BW) for a con in October. I have a larger head, so for the wig should I get a Jeannie from Arda or the ponytail wig from EpicCosplay? I'm using the Epic one for a Charizard gijinka cosplay and it's very nice, but it also looks a bit small on my head (I had to shave down my hairline at the back and sides so that the wig conceals my hair properly).

>>9149893
Arda's wigs tend to be bigger.

Also, you can always color your hair along your hairline to match better with the color of your wig. Ben Nye sells some temp hair color that's pretty good. I used the silver/white on my husband's black hair and beard and it came out looking pretty good(especially on the beard). It should look pretty good if you're just doing the bits around your hair line and nape of your neck.

>>9149898
Thanks! But I'm okay with shaving - I'm able to almost completely conceal my hair the way that I currently shave it. Does the Jeannie have any advantages over the Phoebe besides cap size? I hear that it's actually a worse wig in general.

>>9149898
I'm getting these dyes, thanks anon.

>>9127576
I've been tempted to crossplay my female GO trainer. I already have a very good wig for it that I mentioned in >>9149893 (both my Zard gijinka and my GO avatar have red hair), and I do make a rather pretty girl with the right amount of effort.

>>9149907
Well they're not full on dyes. They're just brush on hair coloring. They're like nicer quality version of the spray stuff. They work great for short hair and beards, I wouldn't recommend them for longer hair though.

Do you think tumblrettes will throw a fit if a white (yet tan) person cosplays Candela?

>>9154411
Honestly, those cock suckers will throw a fit about anything. If they get on your ass about it, just throw out the whole "cosplaying Japanese kids all the time while being white so who's the racist one now bitch" card. You're literally dressing up as a fictional character, and unless you douse your face in shoe polish, it's pretty hard for the average joe to find offense in that. Just do it, you'll probably look fine and no one will care.

You shouldn't have to worry about them regardless because they're too scared to do anything besides cry in their "safe zones".

A kimono would actually be a good way to learn. Most traditional Japanese clothes are mostly made up of relatively simple rectangles and right angles, and patterns won't be hard to find.

Let's see how long it takes for Yaya and Mcalls to get a C&D.

>>9167813
Sewing patterns have gotten away with stealing designs from IPs for decades. They just have to change a few things (which this pattern has) and they can label it parody or something. They're fine.

Not trying to nitpick, but what's up with the ball choice?
A love ball doesn't seem very mystic. I think the master ball should be switched for it.

Its too bad the outfits are made with flimsy fabrics. Maybe its just because of the cell phone it was taken with, but it doesn't look good compared to the image posted before.

Looking at it, the buttons are in a different place and the material looks different. Anon, you trollin'?

>>9170290
I'm the anon that posted the first jacket photo, not the followup anon but yeah, that's the finished version. The jacket probably could have used some interfacing to help keep it's shape and I wish she spiked her wig.

>>9170296
Adding, or maybe the jacket could have just used some extra ironing. Looking at it again, the shape is fine it just looks a little...crinkly?

It's from pokemon sun and moon and they were just revealed a few hours ago

Everybody is already guessing that they're actually going to be the evil organization and team skull is going to team up with you to defeat them.

I'm already thinking of putting Wicke on my cosplay list since I have friends already making S&M characters.

>>9174317
Best Spark is a 35 year old woman?

>>9174363
I had the same thought, or that they're both bad, like Aqua/Magma. So glad other people are planning Aether cosplays already, makes me feel less bad for immediately wanting to cosplay >>9174195

>>9174317
Really like it. Only nitpick is the wig and face. I have yet to see a good Spark wig

>>9174379
I like the idea people have the skull is going to try to act evil, because they come off as a bunch of rebellious teens trying to act badass, rather then actually being evil. But they turn out to actually be decent people.

Aether is probably going to end up being the "act like they're kind/loving to pokemon but are actually evil"

I would hope to see it more natural looking when translated into cosplay, like how Stocking cosplayers don't attempt the "actual" look.
Something long and dramatically layered would look pretty cool, I think.

>>9174688
What kind of pokemon are you looking to cosplay, anon? I think designing the gijinka is half the fun of pokemon cosplay. A good rule of thumb for starting a design is picking a pokemon & picking a style theme, e.x. a blastoise and a military soldier, or an Articuno and a prince, etc. It's a good way to start coming up with coherent gijinka

I like a lot of steel-types, so Aggron, Steelix, Skarmory, Aegislash...and then just some random pokemon like Nidoking, Tyranitar, Exploud, or Xatu. A lot of things that would work well as knightly or 'armor'-like gijinka.

I've seen some neat designs of the Honedge family that would work fine for a dude, so there's that. Some of the Tyranitar gijinka I've seen are pretty cool in concept despite being deviantart monstrosities, which I could probably work with to produce something reasonable.

Seems like pic related would be pretty easy to adapt to a male gijinka...wear hakama instead of the skirt and replacing the waist stuff with just a men's obi. Poor Xatu is so underrated.

>>9175017
Xatu would be cool! Xatu as a species is pretty spiritually designed, so basing it off of a Japanese monk style would match pretty well. If you wanted to add to that particular design, they have cool hats which could match the beak color, large sleeves for the wings,etc. So if you're better with fabric than you are with armor (looking @ you, steel types) that's definitely an option.

Another issue in designing: if you want to be recognizable on sight at a con, you'll want the gijinka-to-pokemon ratio to be fairly one-to-one, and get less creative on what you put where in the design. Just something to think about.

How is this pattern, though? I know yaya's stuff hasn't always been considered "great" in the past. Just bought it myself and wondering if anyone has any pre-warnings to working with it?

>>9176114
Everything will probably run short.
Yaya is 5 foot at best and makes patterns for her height.

Expect to add a LOT of length to the roamper. I used her other bodysuit pattern and had to add 2.5cm to the waist and then 1.5cm in the seat.
It was still much too short for me and I'm only 5'4.
So I guess add an inch for every inch you are over 5"

So, I really want to do Shauntel but any ideas on making the scarf/ribbon not look weird. So far I haven't seen any costumes that I liked their approach. Maybe I'm just being nitpicky.

>>9175321
I saw him at dragoncon too. Not the best job on the wig but I admired his incubator.

>>9174317
Where is he?

>>9179550
It'd look better as two separate objects. The shawl, and then the bow. The puffyness will always look weird unless you use a high-volume material. You could make them out of something like a fur to give it a muffler look?

>>9174389
Spark's hair is a pretty hard one to pull with a wig due to the hairline and the sideburns desu. I've done similar work and it's hard to make it look accurate. I'm more amazed how everyone manages to fuck up the hoodie so bad. It's just a basic hoodie, how hard can it be?

>>9175890
I HATE it so much

>>9176114
Honestly don't even buy her shit.

It's over priced standard shit you could get almost anywhere else. Her fabric is usually Wal-Mart quality.

I figured this as well. I'm 6' so I lengthen patterns all the time. But if I ever try a Y*ya pattern I'll know to be especially wary,

I started Lillie after the reveal of the UB-01 since I think we're going to get some top quality lore in with her. Bought a wig which is en route an started on the bag.

It's a little longer than hers would be but I'm pretty psyched because I made it work as a BJD carrier and I think that's pretty cool. I am having troubles sourcing nylon strapping though- It's $2 for 60" at Walmart, and 3.49 a yard at Joanns, and I need about 16 ft

>dabbing
To be honest this is the first time I've ever thought "nerds/lame people/average people/ ruined this."
Don't want to generalize and say "white people" because I mean like non-ghetto people, and that sounds racist.
It's kinda hard to explain lol

But yeah me and my boyfriend were at AX this year and for a meet I think it was they were all taking photos together and one girl "dabbed" and everyone in the meet lost their shit and thought it was so fucking funny.. Me and my boyfriend just kinda looked at each other with an almost pity look because they actually thought dabbing was the most hilarious shit ever.
Literally I think fucking nerds are late to this dabbing thing and they just discovered it and they think it's comedy genius.
The look like jackass to me though.

>>9175017
I did a Skarmory gijinka a few years ago. Granted, it was my first "armor" thing and what have you, I was only recognized by a few people. I wish I had done the wings so the stuck up more, instead of straight back.

I'd say go with Xatu just because you're way more likely to be recognized.

>>9181610
Why don't you play the game first before cosplaying her you fake ass nerd

>>9128510

>>9181610
Then spend $8 and get the Walmart. 60" goes into 16ft almost 3.2 times, so all you really need is 180", but I would get 124" anyways in case you need extra or mess up.

>>9181790
>fake ass nerd
If I wasn't a nerd why would I be on cgl? Or making a costume? It's not like this is some sexy-ass cosplay. Plus I'm cosplaying for the midnight release and really, we know more about Lillie right now than most of these pokemon go characters even have character.

>>9181814
Oh I didn't finish my thought because I was a jackass. It's 13 cent a foot at home depot but they only have 7 feet. It's really hard to pay Walmart prices when I could get it at home depot. I'm waiting to hear from the manager if/when they're going to restock.

>>9181735
I will never not think of stoner shit whenever someone references 'dabbing'.

progress looked promising, but he let the end result down with jeans and a lackluster wig + makeup.

>>9180433
Not to mention, the patterns are always inaccurate as hell.

She makes a fancy cosplay for herself, and then a pos pattern to sell.

>>9147759
To be completely honest, how can anyone think this looks promising? The hoodie is the wrong color, looks inaccurate, the jacket doesn't fit well and it lacks of details. The zapdos looks rushed and messy.
