Fucking rude

Anyone here go to doki doki? I'm considering it but I've never been.

I'm going to EGX and have no idea what to expect. I've only gone to MCM.

Anyone going to Wicked and Whimsy this weekend?

>>9155768
I'm heading down on Friday with a couple of friends. Super excited!

>>9155718
I've been.
It's a nice little con but I find you can get a little lost for what to do in the day after a while.
Nice selection of stalls/artists and loads of food places dotted near the venue though.

>>9155718
It's small, but nice. There are a few panels and activities throughout the day but as other anon said, you tend to have a few dead hours, especially because the masquerade is weirdly late.

>>9155718
Like the others said, it's small but cute. More aimed at cultural stuff but there are stalls selling the usual stuff.

>>9155456
That League only thing has some pretty decent cosplay guests but they also have Kenny and Kerry.

Speaking of shit the normal cosplay guests are pretty shit tier. It's a gaming con and only one of them seems to have a gaming cosplay.

>>9157001
Who are they? I didn't even realise insomnia had a big cosplay presence.

How the fuck is this a guest??

>>9157274

>Despite only being on the cosplay scene for a little over a year, Giulietta has already established a prestigious name with incredible costumes and over 70,000 followers on Facebook.

>>9157285
Looks like that invite anyone

>>9157355
still never heard of her

>>9157355
If likes = talent eevee cosplay wouldn't have quit.

>>9157274
why are all the guest bios so pretentious

>>9155974
Going to London on Friday till Sunday.
Looking forward to the event

How the fuck is this a Judge?

>>9157882
They probably wrote them themselves

>>9157906
How are any of them a judge? none of them have won anything bigger than a single mcm

>>9158091
Competitive cosplay in the UK is a fucking joke. That's why.

>>9158091
They'll have been approached based on criteria like FB likes and having won a competition but not being too big or "famous" to expect to be paid the same sort of money or expenses that a more established person would expect.

>>9158091
That creepy Penguin guy is there too... ugh.

I'm amazed that spammy Killer Croc guy isn't there too.

>>9158186
Too busy perusing his rap career.

>>9158100
If Costume and Play run the same way they used to, they don't approach people. They wait for people to approach them or for people already involved to invite their friends. Then when events come along they open up guest slots for in a private group and offer it to their circle of "guests".

They don't really check people who get involved as long as they're happy to volunteer to come along and do whatever work is needed or promote the event. They even cover some expenses so you'd think they'd sort through who is decent or at least a little bit qualified to judge or guest but.. apparently not.

>>9158235
Forgot to add, yeah the bios are usually written by the "guests" themselves. And for the way guests are involved they're usually pretty pretentious. I was brought in as a guest for them by a friend at an event a couple of years back, the only request they made was for me to write a short blurb and to pick a nice picture to "advertise myself with".

>>9158100
A lot of I58s other cosplay guests are like this

Who is going to MCM Scotland next month? What are you cosplaying?

>>9158186
I've met the penguin guy a few times. I thought he was ok?

>>9157647
Looked her up. Another knock of nigri who has brought her boobs & likes because her crafting & presentation are awful

>>9158486
Another clone then.

EGX 2016 is next month and all my normie friends have bailed on me. They're either too cool or just not interested in it.

>>9155768
I'm too poor for the weekend but rich enough to go to the after party. I'll probably be in green.

>>9160025
Nice blog.

>>9160025
Any news about ecg entrants recently? It's not long now.

>>9160679
Emi-Zone (past WCS rep) going for group.
Ross going for solo.

>>9155736
It's a big gaming show, lots of previews of new games. Great as a gamer, theres a cosplay pageant on one of the days, but it's not really an event you'd want to spend all day in costume in, espessily if you want to play some of the games.

Halls get very packed, very busy around the stands.

Anyone see any of the insomnia masquerades? Either the league one yesterday or the one today?

>>9160025
Tempted to get a thursday or friday ticket, hopefully it'll be less busy and i'll get a day off work.

>>9162155
Is that it? Should be a bit of a cake walk

>>9162279
They're the only ones who have announced it that I'm aware of.

>>9162312
Exelia has also announced too but that's all I know of

>>9162155
What's Ross making?

>>9160679

Freyarule has said she's doing it with her partner. Though we've not seen a lot of progress except for a pair of shorts.

>>9158449
I'll be wearing the sash my father wore

>>9163621

>>9160679
GoldenMochi/Monkey and StubbledGrapes are both entering solo too

>>9162401
I think Ross is doing Quasimodo from the Disney version of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame

>>9162230
League one was OK - some nice costumes but no skits. Also the audience was 1/3 full and pretty quiet.

The Sunday one was good fun. Nothing amazing but quite a few decent entries. The audience area was rammed though - standing room only.

The best thing at insomnia was the Dark room though - that kicked ass

>>9162230
i saw both masquerades and watched the league masquerade on the leaguefest stream, there was a bit more cringe on the main stage masqs than the leaguefest one due to them doing skits (case in point: terrible mettaton cosplayer singing sweet transvestite, not once, but twice.)

>>9164760
bit of an odd ecg choice if you ask me

>>9162234
Are there any meetups? Can't seem to find any on meetup.co.uk. I mean, I might as well go with other people since my friends have bailed.

>>9162230
Didn't go but I'm seeing photos from it pop up on my feed. Trash tier

>>9162230
>>9164766
saw both as well, i quite liked some of the league costumes, I think they made a good choice with the winner (they cosplayed Poppy) and with the other prizes, but there wasn't many entrants.
Sunday had a few good costumes but no amazing performances. don't know who won as I didn't stay to watch.

Also yeah dark room was awesome, pub quiz too

>>9164775
Might have been better as a finals costume actually in Paris.

>>9165090
Went and agree. The judges and entrants were trash tier. pretty fun to watch though.

League comp had better entrants but much smaller.

>>9165225
He's got to get there first...

>>9165429
Genuinely no idea who could win out of the people mentioned here. None of them scream Outstanding

>>9165667
I think Ross has a good shot.

He did win LSCC (beating Lex and Sikay in the process) and he will probably have one of the best acts.

Of course you never know who will show up with what on the day.

>>9165992
I would say out of anyone Ross, but with that costume?

>>9166110
The clothes themselves might not be impressive, but if you build the body suit to give the shape and the prosthetic for the face then it's certainly a variety of skills.

>>9166578
agree, but will it be enough to win the place?

>>9166602
- *heroes of cosplay narrator voice*

>>9166578
The clothes are an oversized t-shirt and a pair of leggings, he needs judges who appreciate prosthetic work to win.

>>9166632
Judges likely to be tabby Kenny Kerry so good luck to anyone without armour or a basic comedy dance skit

>>9166642
last minute decision to enter where my skit will be me riding a space hopper and I'll launch it at Kenny. Insta win?

>>9166653
Throw in a few slut drops and dick jokes at a family audience and you'll be packing for Paris

ITT: people who only know Ross and haven't been arsed to look up any of the other named cosplayers

He's good at performing yeah but it doesn't make everyone else shit by default and his costumes aren't that amazing

>>9166689
the named ones that are going up against him are shite though. The groups are good but not the solos.

>>9166632
only if he actually does a good job with the makeup

>>9166705
GoldenMochi can turn a good costume if she gets them finished. She did one that had loads of embroidery that looked lovely.

>>9166715
Exelia produces consistently good work, I think she's a good contender.

>>9166706
A first for the books

>>9166898
Really? I thought he was really good at makeup

so anyone at alcon? Is it bad like always?

>>9169082
It is exactly what you expect in every way.

>>9169519
any photos?

So what is that MCM ISIS group actually about?

>>9171591
Post it?

so apparently weekend priority passes for MCM have already sold out with absolutely no warning. Some people I know are saying it's just the site being bugged but I've heard nothing definitive either way.

is anyone going to the Bristol anime and gaming con in November? I'm at UoB.. eh I'm new to this.

>>9169082
It was a disaster...

would it be better to go to MCM for Friday and Saturday or Saturday and Sunday? I've never been to a convention for more than a day before and was planning on getting a weekend ticket because it's better value for money but they're suddenly sold out so....would be nice if they had the little gauge thing on the site this year like they normally do so you can tell how fast tickets are selling out..

The official Facebook page for MCM London announced ticket sales took an unexpected surge meaning the weekend ones are fully sold out.

But people are still thinking that it's just a mistake and more will be released. No, MCM is crowded as it is already and doesn't need to release anymore when there are other tickets available.

>>9172404

I recommend Friday & Saturday. Only because the Friday is usually one of the more quiet days and you can do a lot more as the crowd isn't so large. Saturday is manic as always but more things happen that day. Depends on what tickets you buy too, Early Entry or General. The queue system changes every year so hopefully it's decent this time around for the non weekend buyers because for some reason MCM like to really make it complicated.

>>9171738
I'm a UWE fresher and will most likely be there!
Will you be cosplaying or just attending?

>>9172428
They dropped the number of weekend tickets by a third and did not warn people about this. They've added admin fees per ticket in the last week too.

Anyone else suspect it is related to the number of failed events they tried to start this year?

>>9162530

The constant spoonfeeding on FB isn't inspiring.
It makes me wonder why she's a judge when there are people on her friends list way better than she is.

>>9172458
What's her page?

So SCG has been deleted. Lucas has now 100% separated himself from the cosplay community GG

im going to egx in a couple weeks to compete in the video game tournaments

does anyone want to meet up

They don't have the ticket counter on the website either...

so heard alcon was really really shit this year anyone got any info.

Also apparently Lucas is moving to the US, I guess he's finally cutting ties with all the dirt he's left behind here and starting fresh.

LSCC dates fucking when

>>9173940
I don't think it's going to be happening

The DragonCon contest went well for UK cosplayers.

The British guy who does all the Assassins Creeed cosplay won Best in show with Connor the Assissin.

The creepy Penguin guy won best comedy with his Ronan the Accuser and Starlord skit

>>9173957
penguin guy won it last year too.

>>9173957
is that the same skit he did at manchester mcm?

>>9173957
>The creepy Penguin guy won best comedy with his Ronan the Accuser and Starlord skit

>>9171738
>>9172436
Bristol Anime and Gaming Con is an Anime League event. You'd better buy some pepper spray for when Mikey comes and tries to violate your anus.

It's also guaranteed to be absolute shit.

I like her. Given how shit the British are at cosplay, I'd put her in the above-average category

>>9158096
I second this, I came from the US and was stunned when I saw what won costume contests. Granted cosplay contest have become a fucking joke everywhere nowadays.

>>9174090
no its not he had a starlord with him

>>9174328
Are you okay there? I know cosplay is shit here but I wouldn't stoop as low as to say she's anything above mediocre - and that's being nice.

>>9173535
I'd really like to know too, all my facebook is complaining about drama going down but no one is giving deets.

is there a seperate artist alley at MCM or is it just the comic village? i can't find shit on the MCM page

>>9174328
meh it's ok, only looks impressive because it's big. look up close and the quality and finish is so so, same with most warhammer cosplays. her other stuff is better.

You guys must have seen that 40 minute rant by that tits McGee ~celebrity cosplayer~ by now

What Drama? The 'best' part about Alcon is watching it all descend into drama at the end.

you mean the one by Summer Knight cosplay about how she is the most popular cosplayer in England and London, yet her page only has 700 likes?

>>9174800
I like how she said she was a guest at mcm.

Granny shut her down and laughed at her and she deleted his comment.

>>9174803

I'm slightly bummed I didn't get to see that vid now, in need of some cos comedy before bed

Don't have the video although I did write down some transcripts of her 'best' moments
"i'm not going to say UK but in London and England, I am the number one cosplayer that people hire"
and
"being professional isn't all that. most people in the cosplay community dream of being professional. I will tell you now it's not all that. I do not go to conventions to have fun anymore. Conventions are still fun for me but not in the way they used to be. It changes, trust me. If you want to continue having fun do not try and become professional because its not fun anymore. You have to be professional all the time."

I downloaded the video before it was deleted, will upload asap

>>9174846
She sounds like the Donald Trump of Cosplay!

Could be a different person, cosplay name doesn't always equal to the same name.

Anyone managed to get a copy of it yet?

Other than that its okay I guess.... Still, doesn't look as grand and magnificent as the Emprah should be.

The fact that she thinks she looks like jnig is the funniest part to me.

>>9175881
"Looking like a supermodel isnt what Cosplay is about... but I'm glad that I do"

topkek. the level of delusion is sky high. she legit seems borderline retarded.

>>9155736
I'll be there. I hope it's better than Play Expo. I loved it a few years ago, but they seem to have abandoned a lot of consoles and arcade cabinets to make room for more stalls (thus relinquishing the whole point of the event).

Huh, I have that exact same garment, it was a tenner from lovehoney.

Any new ecg news? Or anything at all about lscc?

>>9177611

The lack of news for LSCC is ridiculous. No information at all about it and people are starting to get annoyed as it would be good to know in order to book time off work, sort travel & hotels plus costumes.

After looking at Summer Knights cosplay page, she's only guested at Anime League events and a small Pokemon meet up.

Congrats to Towers for boosting the ego of delusional and toxic people, most likely another attempt to get in a female cosplayers pants.

>>9177852
Apparently she wasn't paid for either of them barring free entry to the events.

>>9177852
She didn't guest AL. Just won a free ticket in a raffle

>>9177867
She said she was guesting LAGC in one of her videos clearly.

100% sure it's her pyscho ex that posted this literally no one else cares, we're grown ass adults enough of the HS drama.

>>9178718
But what did he do?

>>9178731
not 100% sure, but her close friends said he was crazy controlling / abusive, not allowed to talk to friends, family, ect. But you'd never know it from look at the guy, super super quiet and too himself.

>>9178737
If we're talking about the same guy i sort of think he had a pyscho vibe about him. always looked mad and never spoke to anyone like he was just there to keep an eye on PT

>>9178429
holy shit maximum overcuck. she cheated on him too.

>>9178794
Holy shit yeah if it was that guy he always looked like he did NOT enjoy himself.
I'm not exactly close to ex-tripfag PT or ex-tripfag Blue, but I'm happy for them. Really don't see a single reason to discuss this on /cgl/ though. Old drama is unnecessary, and they're both clearly happy and over everything.

>>9178835
Nah the story is along the lines of he refused to acknowledge her breaking up with him many times, and when he 'discovered' her talking to another guy he went full crazy and posted a public Facebook status 'calling her out on cheating' and shit. He's a full on train wreck. Like anon said PT and Blue are obviously happy now and able to put the past behind them unlike most people here.

>>9178429
Forgive my ignorance, what does PT mean?

>>9178953

You'll never guess who that Pokemon convention got to replace Summer Knight...

>>9179893
is it a cosplayer with any interest in Pokemon or Pokemon costumes?

>>9179893

Jfc shes an even worse cosplayer than SK

>she
I thought that was a guy

>>9179931
Nope it's a she

>>9179876
Clockwork Dandy Noodles will likely be a judge since she was the solo rep and also placed.

>>9179931
She looks like the stereotypical Iron Man crossplay with sharpie facial hair.
The only difference is she throws way more money into her costumes.
Everything she makes is ugly and it's not just because she only cosplays hench dudes.
If she invested her time and effort into something that suited her body type more and stayed faithful to the character design, she could probably make a half decent costume that didn't look like shit.

>>9179935
tabby will probably be a judge as well. Or kenny and kerry.

>>9179935

Noodles is really sweet IRL and dedicates alot of time to crafting. The UK needs more genuine cosplayers with that much passion for costume making rather than half the twats in the community who think they're the next upcoming hot coswhore. I hope she's a judge.

>>9179954
she has done in the past, still looks like shit.

>>9179994
Yeah I love Noodles. She's dedicated and really good at what she does.

>>9179993
Afaik Kerry isn't going, but Kenny is so he might be a judge. They usually get at least one international for ECG too.

>>9180134
Who?

What's up with this con...

>>9180134
>Mum won't let me play dress-up! I'm running away!

How old is she?

>>9180168
21

>>9180134

Could be a case of she's a irresponsible young adult at home who only cares about cosplay and her mum has had enough...?

>>9180249
Does she have a job or studying?

>>9180168
21. Thing is though she makes a post like this every other week, saying she's quitting Cosplay blah blah. She never does.

>>9180311
Sure does love her melodrama.

>>9180134
>Still thinking there is going to be a LSCC next year

How optimistic

>>9180318
Highly unlikely she will win, she will most probably steal a skit

>>9178874
That still sounds 100% like two people who should not be engaged. Pair of retards. Oh well, the train wreck will probably be entertaining.

>>9179876
Saw some girl saying she was entering the other day but I can't find her page now sorry. Looked alright though

>>9181128
What was the point in that comment?

Looks like AL did a interview with Summer Knight...

Was kinda interesting even though her idea of "professional" is still warped.

>>9181266
Was a bit of a pathetic 'apology' disguised as an interview.

She made her bed and now she has to lie in it, and as much as we would like to, there's no need to twist the knife further or add more salt to the wound. So I won't do a post about it.

Speaking of, as I couldn't go to Alcon or the London 'meetup' (vacation), who can fill me in? Did anything blog-worthy happen?

Her part of the interview must be heavily edited. She's thick as pig shit and can barely form a coherent sentence, let alone sound remotely profound

>>9181431
people where bitching about the new venue and most people did not have a good time.

>>9181436
New venue?

>>9181453
It was at De Montfort.

>>9181476

Wasn't really a new venue, they just didn't have access to the main SU building due to a refurb so they had to use the Watershed - which is basically a sports hall down the road.

>>9181481
Watershed was a bit shit, plus a long way from the rest of the con.
Hoping the old building is finished for next year.

>>9180331
Fuck sakes megabeth she didn't steal your shit skit. Get over it.

So Anime League interview Summer Knight to they are a bunch of drama weebs that need to get their nose in everything.

They get hate, so delete their post, tthen they get backlash for doing it, repost it and lie about Facebook deleting it,

What a bunch of unorganised idiots.

Finally a announcement from lscc

An announcement of an announcement isn't really news...

kenny is a guest so probably will be judging. RIP anyone not doing a stupid comedy skit...

>>9179994
>The UK needs more genuine cosplayers with that much passion for costume making rather than half the twats in the community who think they're the next upcoming hot coswhore

This is why I quit competitive cosplay. I'd slave my ass off making cosplay and all the fine details, either to lose to a) someone getting their tits out or b) someone who's friends with the judges. it's not what you make, it's who you know and how much skin you show. It's a joke.

>>9182899
Last year they had all 3 participants from ECG but only 1 of them was picked as a judge.. but here's hoping they might have fixed it for this year. I hope they haven't got ridiculous judges like Tabitha again.

>>9183119
well i suppose we'll find out next week.

>>9183143
>next week.
get in the fucking sea

is it normal for mcm london to take so long to announce guests? it's just over a month away and it doesn't look like anyone's been officially announced

>>9183295
Expect guests the 2 weeks before

>>9183295
Yup, it's normal.

>>9183119
Last year had three previous foreign egc winners as judges, which is better because they don't give a fuck about who knows who in the uk. Tabitha was the fourth judge.

>>9184082
reckon tabby was the reason kenny and kerry won with that shit skit?

>>9184115
Nah, that's not the reason. There was only a couple of groups last year and the other's costume fell apart on stage.

>>9184216
>>9184115
The wig fell off one of the other team. I think KK won by default.

>>9184228
hopefully there will be more entrants than 2 this year. what a sorry show for the uk it was last year

>>9184230
What entrants do we know about?

>>9184275
Ones I know of,
Groups:
Freyarule & a friend
Emizone & felixize
Last year's losing team that fell apart
Solos:
Exelia
Popcornkuma
Ross E Cobb Cosplay
Amazonian Cosplay
Stubbled Grapes Cosplay
GoldenMochi Cosplay

>>9184486
Know what each one is making?

>>9184529
Didn't keep a tab of it. You could just go look however

>>9184529
Cant find much but
Ross E Cobb is making Quasimodo
Amazonian is Maria from Assassins Creed film
Goldenmochi is being Pit from Kid Icarus: Uprising
And Stubbled Grapes is Sora from Kingdom Hearts 2 but doesn't have very many photos

>>9184529
Emizone & Felixize are doing Tracer and Widowmaker I think.

>>9184981
Emi-Zone, Felixize and Isamiaella are doing a trio with Tracer, Mercy and D.Va.

>>9184549
Any pictures?

>>9184997
Just do on FB and search their pages they all have little bits of progress up

>>9184549
I saw stubbled grapes' progress the other day and man it was shit

>>9184549
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't GoldenMochi the one who does a lot of embroidery and detailed work along those lines? If it's who I'm thinking of, I can't imagine Pit is the best choice of costume to show off her preferred skills and such.

To add to your list, I haven't seen any progress recently but Freyarule and her partner are doing Zorn & Thorn from FFIX I think? I'm excited, I love that game

>>9185232
Yes golden Mochi is. So its a shame she's not using her skills.

>>9185232

Shame the progress looks like shit and they're likely to get wrecked by the Overwatch trio.

>>9185442
Any pics? I can't find her page

Where would you guys recommend for quality wigs online? Preferably UK based but worldwide is fine too.

Hey, does the anon that created the A very unhappy weeaboo blog still frequent here?

Looks like AL are yet again being grade A arseholes.
This is happening on a personal right now, but basically a photographer is having his work taken by AL to promote a cosplayer that is guesting at their Birmingham event without proper credit. Tog is not happy with it because he doesn't want to have his work associated with AL.
He also noted this isn't the first instance of this happening.

>Mfw in the comments one person who I know for a fact has guested with them in the past is half-heartedly trying to defend their actions and pinning it on the cosplayer (who he mentions gave them the relevant info about the tog but they still refused to add the credit).

What is it with these people ? They clearly can see the organisation is shit yet they still continue to support it. I guess they just like the feeling of being ~'in the club'~ power-trip nonsense.

I have scaps, anyway. A little dubious to post them though because like I say- it's happening on a personal.

>>9186822
Yeah I'm here. I'm always lurking here. I genuinely didn't think anyone cared anymore after what I wrote about LAGC.

Anyway, do you have any details; links or photos or stuff? :)

>>9186822
If you don't want them up on /cgl/ then send them my way. Use the contact thingumy on the blog.

So a group are now hosting their own masq. Wish I could be there to see this shitshow.

>>9186673
Depends if your mommy is stood behind you or holding your hand and how many cheetos are stuck between your teeth.

Pro tip; cosplayers are people. So whatever "chance" you have with people will likely be the same.

>>9186732

Consider yourself liberated. Manchester MCM is a million times better than London because you dont have to deal with the overcrowding bullshit and if you're a cosplayer the stage lays turds all over the others you've seen.

If you're in uni you'll probably have an anime society of some sort, just be ready for all of the spergs. I guarantee some epic stories to be told here later though.

In all seriousness though as much as people might like to condemn people from 'a bit further north from London' (No, im not going to use the word north to describe the Midlands) You actually have an easier time getting to everything. For most part you have a direct train back to London if you play your cards right, and you can get to the other cons like Ame, Kita, Brum etc with more ease. You sort of lose the unwillingness to leave that little bubble like most Londoners do.
Have fun checking out things that may not have been as easy to get to

>>9187337
But i never hit on a girl before, i am 26 i aint no pussy i just never talked to a woman out of the blue like that in the street because it's too much of a "creep approach".

>>9186822

Depends... did this tog shoot the cosplayer at a AL event? and was the tog there as press? if so, AL reserve the right to use any materials for promotional purposes, same applies to MCM / LSCC / LFCC.

>>9186673
I'll come hit on all the girls for you anon. Just stay at home under your bed.

>>9187368
Most probably not seen as he openly states he doesn't support any AL event so I highly doubt it was taken at one of their events.
>>9187016
I have contacted the tog. I asked him if it was okay for me to submit the screenshots but wanted to double make sure because it is his personal business and I know some people don't want to be associated with 'drama'. I explained the blog's motives and stuff, just to educate people about AL and all that, but he seems pretty clued up on them anyway. Just waiting for a reply so if he gives me the green-light I'll get the scaps sent to you soon.

>>9187351
thanks anon

things are looking up

>>9186732
>>9186732
I'm from Hull; It's strange to think there are other seagulls around there!
I don't know if you wanted tips or anything but;
- The Uni has a pretty active (or it was last I knew) collection of nerdy Soc's you can join and tag along with so I'd really recommend getting stuck in. There are a LOT of weebs in Hull. It always surprises me.

- There's a Cosplay Group you can find on Facebook and though most of them are casuals in the sense they don't do big, contest worthy builds, they were always very welcoming to people outside their established circle. They do a lot of general Meetups/Hangouts.

- I've never found it a problem travelling out of Hull but Paragon Station seems to be a black hole and train tickets can sometimes be alarmingly expensive, I assume because Hull is literally the end of the line. Don't be lured in by the temptation of the Megabus if you can afford better. I've done the Hull - London Megabus journey for many an Expo and it's been torture. I always fork out for a train, now!

- There's a Humber Comic Con (I can't remember if that's it's proper name) that's gotten a good reception in it's short lifespan. I'd recommend that as a good local event if they're running again soon!

>>9187020
A member of the MCM staff seems to have found the event now and is currently giving some people a talking to who are involved in running it. Can't wait to see how this shit turns out.

>>9188201
Saw that coming. Scottish cosplayers are the absolute worst, and I think this group consider themselves the best.

>>9188223
Yeah, that's why I've stopped going to cons as much in Scotland. It's the same mediocre people with the same mediocre costumes acting like they're cream of the crop at every con up here. I'm only going for the afterparty at MCM and then bailing.

>>9188238
I agree. The community here sucks and it's mostly because people refuse to interact outside of their cosplay cliques.

>>9186305
Because the costume also involves a load of very hardcore special effects makeup work - lots of prosthetics.

if he does the makeup well and if he can get it really accurate then he's in with a shot.

Special effects make up when you cast your own prosthetics is an advanced skill in my book

>>9188494
Agree, but from what he's posted of them already the prosthetics are really badly made.

one of the hosts is bitching about it. i dont know why theyre so fussed anyway they literally own about two cosplays, both of which they've previously entered in masquerades. particularly their rabbit cosplay which i've seen them enter in almost ever con i've attended.

>>9188727
>>9188201
>>9187020
Hold up someone explain this because I've no idea whats going on

>>9188742
From what I've gathered a bunch of people didn't get accepted into the masquerade for whatever reason, i've seen lots of different excuses but mainly due to poor communication from mcm. These people then decided to start a "rebellion" and host their own masquerade and a staff member found the event and is trying to sort things out for the people who've been complaining. And now the host is bitching because mcm aren't supporting their shitty independent masquerade.

>>9186822
yeah I've seen this convo, definitely iffy

>>9188727
I read the thread on their event page this morning and it seemed like he was being helpful above and beyond, looks like that guy just wants something to bitch about.

>>9188653
See what he shows up with on the day.

Frankly apart from Shirak cosplay nobody in the UK is much good with prosthetic based make up

>>9188144
>There's a Humber Comic Con (I can't remember if that's it's proper name) that's gotten a good reception in it's short lifespan. I'd recommend that as a good local event if they're running again soon!
You're probably thinking of Hull Comic Con. That's run at the student union this year and last year and is pretty well regarded.

There's also the Humber Unleashed "comic-con style event" which is the usual dealers room and fuck all else crapshoot organised by an ex-nurse who runs conventions now after being struck off for noncing vulnerable teens.

>>9189077
What about the girl who worked prosthetics on game of thrones?

>>9188144
thanks for this anon! nice to have a little insight

>>9188727
>particularly their rabbit cosplay which i've seen them enter in almost ever con i've attended.


Is it just SPG cosplayers who do this. I remember the DeeCon winner with the puppet doing the same.

>>9189463
Good point - not many people though

>>9189077
I dunno. Amazonian is looking alright and Goldenmochi's work is nice even if this costume choice is a bit left field.

>>9190301
Goldenmochi's wings look sad. They need to double the amount of feathers

>>9190301
>>9190371

Amazonian is looking okay skills wise but her fabric colours and embroidery are off

>>9190379
to be fair the colours of the film costume seem to change with every new photo released because of the editing so it's understandable if it doesn't match every reference out there.

>>9190379
It looks good, it's a little wonky and some of the proportions seem off compared to the reference but it's impressive and detailed work.

>>9190467
It's detailed. I like the embroidery and the beading on the top is good. Some of the materials are pretty impossible to recreate so obvs that's not perfect and hood looks a little weird. More work than Ross' tho imo.

>>9190510
i mean considering ross only started a couple of weeks ago and everyone else has been working on their costumes for months, I'd say everyone has done more work than him.

>>9190510
>>9190467
>>9190461
calm down beth no need to cry

>>9190555
Yeah, because she'd definitely slag off her own proportions and fabric choices... Get your head out of your ass

>>9190371
agree. the wings look a bit school nativity play quality

>>9190647
I think they move which will be her gimmick for the costume

>>9190461
>>9190467
>>9190510

I said the skill was there. The accuracy is just off.

Defo more effort than Ross though

>>9190902
I was at gamescom where the film costumes were on display and it looks pretty spot on desu. A few inaccuracies but not too many
