Hey /cgl/ I'm pretty new to this board and recently posted a cosplay and got a lot of shit for "bad execution". I was curious what constitutes bad execution, thanks.
Not sure what pictures you used, but bad execution usually means the idea is there if you look at it at the right angle but looks poorly or not enough like the source. But then again you're here so be ready to eat a lot of shit from people.

Right, then how would that principle apply to cross-play. Like something that doesn't have a source per se but uses multiple sources?
Just an ambiguous "could have been done better"?

Pretty much, yeah. IMO it's usually not a good idea to use a mashup of different sources for a character because it'll either look like you're some famewhore who looked up a popular character on google images, or you just don't know what you're doing.

lmao you're the steven universe with jojo makeup guy huh
People in the thread already explained why it was poorly executed; it made no sense, had nothing tying it together at all. You didn't change steven's outfit to be more jojo-like, you literally just slapped jojo makeup on your face while wearing steven's normal outfit.
