So MCM was a shambles.
Anybody going to any good local cons?

Try to keep AL Drama to a minimum, Just because MT/Mewski/AL staff are lurking /cgl/ doesn't mean you should engage them.
>>
repost..

is it just me or are uk cons less wild and pickupy than american ones?

towers pedo ring and kitacon aside
>>
>>9523100
Anyone at Qcon this weekend?
>>
>>9523150
Idk, from what I've heard, MCM is a wreck after 7pm. I don't know about any other UK cons actually.
>>
No mentions of Sunnycon at all? What are you autists doing today and who is going to the party tonight? I heard last night's was a flop because they had no advertisement for it.

last night was just a last minute announcdment right?

also will people will be weafing costumes or just regulaf clothes? might go in for a drink maybe
>>
ok this heatwave is insane theres no way anyone could party let alone be in costume.

even the city is quiet because the geordies are all melting
>>
Anyone going to Sunnycon on sunday? I didn't realise it was so close to me. Anything interesting happening? All I keep seeing are sub par cosplays.
>>
>>9523554

the sylvanas was pretty good. and so was that girl who looked like a wow paladin.


im going tomorrow if only cause the bus home is at 5 and maybe the alpaca dolls will go on sale.

>tfw no alpaca keychains

Fakeboi butler was sweet but yeah Meido Sora a Qt. I also liked autistic pink robot Meido too.

All in all pretty cute performance and Meidos. Tsunderedude butler was alright but seemed awkward or lacked the confidence to play the confidant too cool 4 u role. Im sure he will get there.

Wait no. Semendemon devil queen meido was cutest.
>>
>>9523554
If its close for the sake of a day out and a day ticket it cant hurt to go. The panels look decent and gave mostly been good so far.

Dealers hall is okay mostly good all in all but very much the same 6 stores on repeat with added funko pops. Only a few interesting or stand outs. Wish there was a manga stall but I just went into town today to buy what I wanted.

The hentai cringe panel is back acclaimedly by popular demand which is weird considering I went to it last year and it was a disaster and they fucked up the PowerPoint for the projector so he walked around each person individually showing off each slide. It was pretty bad. But so far overall everything seems to be an improvement on the last few sunnycon.
>>
>>9523736

i hate how they pick on ging just cause hes a guy.

hits too close to reality.

>tfw too autistic to get a selfie with that sylvanas

In sunnycon right now, kinda shite ngl. Hopefully this hentai panel will make things interesting. Anyone else here?

yeah sunday lineups bretty bad.

bryce was alright, cant hate a guy who voices nagito. though i literally didnt know 80% of the shit they were talking about in anime, so out of loop.
>>
>>9524266
It was shite at the sports centre and it was shite at Seaham. As something that touts itself as an anime convention there's actually fuck all to do if you like anime but don't like cosplaying. Except drinking maybe, but Kita's better for that.
>>
>>9524381

uh what else is there to do in an animecon outside of cosplaying and fishing for people to take pictures of yourself?

i mean surely you dont intend on paying 25 quid for a shitty 2 inch tall toy or 100 for a 4 inch tall cheapass figure that cost 50 cents to make?

also there were no alpaca keychains or keyrings or giant alpacas or alpaca wallets or alpaca bags, just 6 fuckin alpaca dolls total so it naturally gets a failing mark.

is there no passable con in this country outside of mcm manchester and london?
>>
Anything going on after sunny?
>>
Sunnycon winners, good or nah?
>>
>>9524441
The sister benesimething whatever was pretty fantastic and i think won the cosplay. The skits were cute too even the one who lost her stones just admitted she choked and walked off as semi graceful as possible so good for her.
>>
>>9524465
l o l c o w take it there, this drama is not welcome in the CGL threads anymore.
Thanks.

2nd place winner SunnyCon Master is more or less an OC of Lugia and his friend admitted to more or less Making it for/with him (commission and store bought are in the rules, not sure if this applies here)
>>
3rd place should have one
>>
first place waa legit tho if you saw it up close. The detail on the axe was insane
>>
>>9524554
First place 100% deserved it and 3rd deserved to place in top 3.
The Lugia is questionable, it's very well made theirs no doubting that but It is a borderline OC which is the 2nd rule for the Masters Division that doesn't allow OCs.

Any pics of the winner and 3rd?

Anyone know which panel this is or what happened?
>>
>>9525271

its the scriptwriting panel on pokemon i think? thats the only one he went in.

the other pokemon ones were pretty positive, seriously anime based makes me feel way too old i think ill just stick to mcm.
>>
>>9525271
Pokemon panel. Some kids behaved way out of line.
>>
since MCM is a more generalized/adult con and its up next month, can anyone tell me how well known memes are recognized in the uk?

I kinda wanted to facepaint myself as a feels guy with a "top cuck" hat, a "i have never seen a vagina" t-shirt and a "B> gf, paying life savings" signpost.
>>
>>9525353

which pokemon panel was that and what did they do? I was in during the 3ds party panel and people were ecstatic and i didn't see anyone at all being disruptive.

i mean there was some autist guy with a french accent blabbering on at times but I wouldn't consider that as "disruptive", i doubt they could even hear it at the stage front.
>>
>>9525353
Yeah, I walked in and straight out again. That poor dude surely never played Pokemon go and thought it would be an intellectual discussion. Cheers for oldfags!
>>
>>9525357

EXPLAIN CLEARLY WHAT THE DRAMA IS ABOUT
>>
It was the Eva panel that the sperglord ruined btw, some asshat spent the 20 minutes the panel lasted speaking over the presenter and interrupting constantly like a huge asshat, then they stormed out when confronted and swore tons before being kicked out of the con
>>
>>9525371
Oh, ok that really sucks!
>>
Did anyone go to the skit contest? I couldn't be arsed to go and left early
>>
>>9525408
Classic tragic skit contest.
Highlight for me was some autist who got a table out to stand near it and solve a rubiks cube to the Dango song and had to cover his ears when we clapped because he was sperging out.
classic sunny.

I only really know MCM which I've went to several times and is right near my house which makes it my go to.

Is hyperjapan any good or are there any other good/better ones?
>>
>>9525908
Hyper japan is brilliant if you're into japanese food, jfash etc, not so much for anime and not for games apart from Nintendo. LFCC is worth a look if you like western, as is LSCC.

Oh right after the panel some dude in a MAGA hat was walking down a hallway to some matsu cosplayer.
the sperglord was leaving the panel room in tears talking to himself about how he is not the bad guy
looks at the MAGA hat
says something along the lines of
"A FUCKING DONALD TRUMP HAT, WHY WOULD YOU WEAR THAT HERE, IM OUT OF HERE"

he then runs down the hallway

Sunnycon skit contest/talent show wasn't as bad as it was in some previous years, autist solving the puzzles was a laugh... I don't know if we were supposed to be laughing but, err. YEAH.
I thought the judging was shit though, the mimed comedy thing that WON was absolute shit, I will say something positive though. There were a couple of entries that were actually really fucking good, girl who sang an Idolmaster song did a solid job, girl who sang the Steven Universe song (even if SU is cancer) was a great singer too. Few of the dance entries were great too. One or two done deaf tryhards but, points for giving it a go I suppose.
There needs to be rehearsals or soundchecks or something like that to really make the contest less of a shitshow I think. Kitacon does something along those lines.
Sunnycon still has a lot of growing to do all in all but it was decent overall this year.

>>9527067
Yeah they should have done sound checks, some things were too quiet to hear and others near deafening, same for the Meidos. The content was decent for a con skit show and even the girl who dropped her stones and bailed did it earnestly instead of just standing there silent until the track ended like I've seen some do. So points to her.
>>

>>9527949
Fuck off to lolcow you utter thundercunt

I was in the contest myself , can tell yous right away it was very hastily scraped together and there was a few problems organising backstage. It's a step up from last year's shitshow so honestly points for that at least and I agree about soundchecks or even rehearsals!

It's a half second glimpse of a black bra, nothing worth scouting for.
>>
>>9525355
Even people that recognise what you're 'cosplaying' would find that cringy. Just don't, anon.
If you want to cosplay something meme related, I have seen some funny/smart joke cosplays. Just steer away from anything that screams robot.

>>9528272
It's time to intervene

>>
>>9528761
I'll never get over "ass of darkness" the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.
>>
>>9529110

I've seen all these meme cosplayers (shit like donald drumps, MGS boxes, a fucking soda can, that green pepe whos henched, intentionally bad cosplays) get ridiculously good reception whenever I go in MCM/AL/sunny/whatever.

Even the 250lbs fat hairy guy crossplayer gets a lot more interaction, pics and chatting than a pretty decent non-competition participant who actually put a decent amt of time and money.

so why would cosplaying as a perma virgin mime lookalike be bad"?
>>
>>9529876
Because you see the ones that were well received because they were well received, of course you won't see the absolutely shite autistic cringe displays like your trying to figure out posted online, they are out there and they are almost universally bad.
>>
what con in glasgow is the best? sorry for silly question, but my relative moved up there so i'm thinking about artist alley tabling at one

>>9525824
Can someone tell me how the fuck this all came about?

>>
Who /scot/ here?
>>
Uh, can anyone tell me if MCM manchester has an "amateurs" masquerade?

it says it has a UK euro cosplay qualifiers and manchester cosplay masquerades but it didn't say what skill level it is.

Mine is above the beginners but wouldn't go close to winning a mid-level cosplay, so I'd rather just go in a "for fun" lineup.
>>
>>9532415
The Sunday is the normal level one. Euro is Saturday only.
>>
>>9532443

Why the fuck is amateurshit on the last days?

like, I want my best costume on day 1, and not fucking last days when the con is dead.

I guess it does make sense though on a ticket selling-level to do that.
>>
>>9527949
Now we know the full set of who to pelt with or throw cheeze pizza at.
>>
>>9532444
because eurocosplay is the high end stuff and like you just said, people want the best on the saturday...
>>
>>9532444
Enter on the Saturday then. If it's so good you can't stand to do it on Sunday then do Saturday. You can enter Saturday but opt out of Euro.
>>
>>9525271
Guys this isn't about the Pokémon panel, he held an Evangelion talk and he was being heckled to shit by some guy who pretty much talked over him and tried to take over the panel.

Eventually he just couldn't get a word in and so he walked out of the panel. I saw him afterwards and he was really upset. Nerve-wracking enough to get up and do your first panel only to have some raging autist ruin it for you.

I checked mcm's website and it says you can either just do a pose/walk or do a skit.

I checked on youtube how nice things are and its like 95% of the people are doing those autistic 2-3 minute roleplay shit, what the fuck?

I just wanted to do a 20 seconds walk and pose and get videos/pics for my friends n shit, why is it full of MLP and final fantasy 7 roleplayers?
>>
>>9533394
>like 95% of the people are doing those autistic 2-3 minute roleplay shit, what the fuck?

Did you miss the bit where it says you need a skit to enter Eurocosplay then? I mean what the fuck are they doing right wankers
>why is it full of MLP and final fantasy 7 roleplayers
Because they signed up and you didn't

You can still go on and do a walk on pose but on Saturday no one will care and you won't stand a chance if you've not entered EuroCosplay. Or just suck it up and enter on the Sunday.
>>
>>9531432
Just a cringey guy who is plaguing the UK cons.
He is known for
- tragic duct tape sonic cosplay
- endless Facebook livestreams where he talks shite
- his obsession for King Mickey
- got thrown out of Hyper Japan for laying on the floor in front of the stage to keep photos up the Maids of England's skirts (despite protest there was photographic evidence of this)
- most recently these thigh photos.

He left the mcm expo group because he was salty that not everyone wished to see his recent photos.
He's just on the whole a weird guy

Andre, please, you aren't helping yourself or AL any by trying to "win 4chan" and attack everyone who criticises the dodgy farce that is AL Girls. C'mon, you were trying to sell it as "Anime League's Suicide Girls" to a lot of people who probably didn't know what that was - lingere and nude models. And considering there's evidence of a 17 year old being part of the group, I'd say that's pretty dodgy, especially considering the recent shit with Mike

Yeah AJ did date Kim she's my mate to. She dumped him for moving way too fast. He'd constantly ring her and check up on her 24/7. Way too clingy, and would cry during sex I heard.

He also tried to nail one of Baker's ex's to. He's apparently come back to AL due to Baker leaving. I heard a rumour all of Baker's crazy ex's are joining AJ on his return to AL. That'll be a nice shit storm.

Mike you're going to get yourself banned from Kita. Assuming you're not already banned, anyway. The committee know what you've been up to on here.

ayup brit/gulls/. In the process of planning out a Beauvoir (NieR automata) costume for MCM October and Youmacon. I'm thinking of making it out of EVA foam and sealing it with plastidip, but the only retailers I found that sell it are pretty expensive. I'm gonna be needing ~20 - 30 cans, which is gonna cost me £250 if I buy it from said retailers. Is there a decent cheaper UK alternative to Plastidip you can recommend for me?
>>
>>9536792
Gotta love you people complaining about the only member of UK ECG who's actually finished, instead of the group. Amelia still hasn't posted a single bit of progress and the competition is in like a week. At least Exelia will have something to wear
>>
>>9536800
Poly-Props has SEAL, if you buy their cans, it's similar price. If you buy their tin, which can be thinned with paint thinner, it'll last you a lot longer, and it's £12 per can. You might need 3 or 4 then instead, depending on how thin you make it.
>>
>>9536808
She must of done something or they would've been kicked out. Wonder how awful it'll be
>>
>>9536725
>>9536792

Didnt mean construction wise. Its beautifully made, but it's just very very simple
>>
>>9536808
Helen Alice just finished and posted about it
>>
>>9538089
If she'd done anything decent her ego would be posting it everywhere. Which means it's another safety pinned mess.
>>
>>9538089
They wouldn't get kicked out if she didn't finish. They'd get to re-do their qualifying skit & costumes.
>>
>>9538158
What a shame she's stuck with Captain Sham-elia. HelenAlice would have done better on her own with that cosplay; it looks beautiful.
>>
>>9538168
I now feel bad for Amelia as everyone will be comparing her costume to Helen's and wondering why she is there. The UK has been doing it for a while but this time it will on a international scale.
>>
>>9538191
Don't feel sorry for her. She deserves it. If she's going to leech off other people she should try picking up some actual skills.
>>
>>9538191
All those international cosplayers seeing Shamelia's mess up close. The uk is going to look a fool but at least the other two will make up for it by being decent
>>
>>9538191
I feel more sorry for HelenAlice if Amelia's costume is so shit they have to wear their qualifying costume to the finals. HelenAlice is clearly far above Shamelia's skill level.
>>
>>9538215
Anyone got comparisons for me? I want to see this clear difference between skill level.
>>
>>9538683
Someone did a taster of all her shit sewing in a past brit thread so go find that. Proof enough that anyone could out sew her.
>>
>>9538683
Amelia is notorious for having messy, unfinished hems and being literally glued into her costumes. Even her Elphaba is safetypinned when it should be sewn. her Kirk cosplays are a mess, and she uses the same wig for every character

I'd post more but she doesn't share her comp costumes at all.

Her Elphaba make up is never the right colour either. She looks gold rather than green.

Apparently fake knife they wouldn't give it up so security rang the police. Guess they got let off as while my friend was heading to the bar he snapped a picture of them and said they must have got let off.

Because she's probably hoping no one will notice when she makes a mess again
>>
>>9538866
Gotta keep the sham alive. Sharing her comp costumes would just show the shame

>>9538858
She'll probably do what she did when she performed with amazonian and direct the judges attention away from amelia as much as she can
>>
>>9540356
Funny you think that, considering amazonian beat helenalice's costume later that year in a competition
>>
>>9540369
Different costume though.
>>
>>9540369
They both beat Shamelia that day too
>>
>>9540369
I'm not comparing amazonian to helen here, that's just what happened and probably will happen this time

amazonian at least improves, shamelia stagnates
>>
>>9540400
True. Its nice to see people who used to be shit get much better, unlike some
>>
>>9540400
Shamelia stagnates because everything gets done in a hotel room the night before and she brags about it like it makes her a good cosplayer.
>>
>>9540615
It makes her a bad planner.
>>
>>9540383
What costumes were they?
>>
>>9538847
She judged a competition in the pink dress.
>>
>>9540537
Wouldnt say much better. She's still colour blind and her finishes leave something to be desired but better than Shamelia and on the way up
>>
>>9540695
Shamelia judged the cosplay world master qualifiers in the shit tier gold Kirk dress. She has no shame

>>9540867
Her Ravenna dress made me weep and her Maria was nowhere near as accurate as she boasted.
But at least she doesn't pretend to be the UKs best performer like Amelia.

>>9540988
Can't see the costume? You can see the beetle wings are a mess, the sleeves have less than half the number of stripes they should, the shoulders sit incorrectly, the crown has random gems on it and the cape is in the totally wrong place. Thankfully, they've spared us the horror of having to look at her hem.
She didn't place at mcm and is reentering it at lfcc. Can't wait to watch that...

>>9541054
Isn't she a judge for the next ECG qualifiers?

Guess it depends whether she pisses them off too much by showing up with a half finished costume.
Can't believe they'd choose her to judge over HelenAlice.

It happens a lot at UK cons, once they know someone is desperate enough to be invited to cons as a guest/judge for free, they'll keep on using them without considering others, regardless if they're still making new costumes or the quality of them.

>>9540988
Please I'm an amateur and even I can see. It looks cheap, lazy and half finished. If disappointment was an image it would be that photo.

So why fucking post it here you retard? Nobody cares, if they're interested they can read it over there.

>>9541934
which cosplayers would you like to see as a guest or judge?
>>
How much does captain shamelia have left to do for the finals? Has she used fucking hot glue again?
>>
>>9546968
She hasn't posted anything. No one knows
>>
>>9546607
None of them. Past winners as judges makes sense but honestly what makes one cosplayer different from the next? You can meet them on the floor without them standing behind a table like they're worth than everyone else. Like if it's someone that actually contributes cosplay related content, helpful advice, beyond selling echi prints, then I might be interested but lots of cosplayers do panels at conventions without being 'guests'. Same difference.
>>
>>9547039
Some of them are genuinely very skilled and that makes them more qualified to judge. Plus, selling prints and getting guest tickets allows talented cosplayers to afford to attend more cons so you can meet them on the floor and see their panels.
Wtf are you chatting about?
>>
>>9547031
She'll still be sewing in the hotel knowing her, you can tell her and Amazonian are friends
>>
>>9547098
Not sure where that's coming from, I follow her page and the latter always seems to be done before the con.
>>
>>9547098
Alright Helen, calm yourself
>>
>>9547110
At least Helen could have the time to post here...
>>
>>9547051
I imagine a free ticket might help any cosplayer but the majority of them stand behind a table struggling to sell prints and do as little as possible guest wise. Even people like Tabitha has admitted she doesn't make much from selling prints.
>>
>>9547879
This is my issue, if they're going to run panels, tutorials, workshops or actually work/group with other cosplayers then it seems worth it. Like the tv/film guests are there to promote whatever new thing they're involved in so usually they're doing Q and As or discussion panels as well as signings.

Instead you have people asking to be guests (which isn't really the definition of 'guest') and then claiming to be invited and wanting hotel/parking/table/entry/expenses provided which is what, a good £200 for a weekend event? Entry for a day is £20 for LFCC, so would take 10 ticket sales just to cover that let alone pull a profit. You telling me those tickets wouldn't sell regardless of the cosplay guest?
>>
>>9549373
So I may or may not be something to do with a fan run event.

Guests should have a two fold effect; firstly they should make your event more desirable, doesn't actually have to convert to sales off the back of that guest, but hopefully be a factor that gets that person to attend. Secondly be an asset to the event, be an enjoyable addition that the attendees appreciate.

If your guests cannot meet both of those criteria, then they aren't truly a guest.
>>
>>9547105
I know her and I can confirm all costumes are panic rushed in the hotel the night before, normally by guilt tripping whoever stays with her into helping. She's not gonna advertise that on her page is she?

I saw it today. Let's just say it's a mess. Shamelia is accurate.

I feel sorry for Helen Alice, she's worked so hard all for Amelia to ruin it with some shoddily sewn together fabric which vaguely resembles a dress
>>
>>9551794
>>9551876

I've seen it and the hem is actually diagonal. One side doesn't touch the floor and the other drags along it. The whole costume looks so sad and limp. I bet Helen is mad as anything right now.

This thread is dry. Where is akash and geo San fumes i miss him

I espically liked the bedraggled feathers, sloppy shoulders and completely wrong collar. Of course her head is so far up her own arse she was swanning around like it was actually good.

Not even the right shade of red, proportions on the shoulder are off, not enough feathers in the back plus the placing of them isn't right. Feathers on collar are flat, the bodice is sloppy and ill fitted and I have no idea why you can see the underskirt at the back there, is it meant to be like that?
>>
>>9552754
You can see the underskirt because the entire dress is wonky. it's short on one side. She hasn't accounted for the hip shape properly (or even achieved the right shape)

Plus her embroidery is brought. Stems are machined but the eyes are brought.

The bodice is sloppy. The headpiece is wrong and the feathers in the sleeves should fan instead of being straight.

Pretty sure a sweatshop special would at least have a straight hem.

Shamelia obviously didn't give a single fuck and just swanned around with her head up her arse full of her own inportance

Up her own arse and now probably going to play victim now that it's over, probs claim she didn't want to do it or something daft

It's not the first time it's happened to Helen either

I don't know HA personally but I can't help but feel sorry for her. Stuck with a partner that barely did anything but still acts like that

it says there's cosplay panels and a competition at egx birmingham but its a long way for me to go

anyone know if its worth going to or just some tiny side event
>>
>>9554165

I didnt enjoy it when I went. I'm into gaming and cosplay but I dont like lining up for sometimes hours just to test something for five minutes. The cosplay area is very under-represented too. It was a titchy little stage with very little seating compared to other cons. Most stalls to buy from there now go to MCM too
>>
>>9554165
What anon said, the cosplay side of it is very small and whilst there's slowly been more cosplayers seen there, its still very much centered around the gaming.
>>
>>9554165
>>9554182
The increase in cosplayers is purely for the ECG qualifiers being hosted their cause Hyper Japan kicked them out and MCM won't take it.
>>
>>9554165

I was there last year for the gamer stuff and yeah it didn't look great for cosplay. There's a stage with a load of seats just sort of awkwardly stuck into the middle of the event and half the time it was just being used as generic seating because there was so little of it, and people wanting to watch the cosplayers up on stage couldnt sit down because of how poorly thought out it was.
>>
>>9554065
That's funny, considering Helen was completely out of tune the entire skit
>>
Who's getting ready for Kita?
>>
>>9554278
So were quite a lot of people that day...
>>
>>9554305
Shamelia was hilarious though
>>
>>9554320
Even got a round 2.
And then again at every con.
>>
>>9554322
She never placed with it though despite her 1000 attempts.
>>
Thing is, if Shamelia is so bad, how the hell is she getting to this point and qualifying for high tier competitions. It's so frustrating!
>>
>>9554362
Honestly it bothers me that they qualified in artwork outfits. Like I know the artist is great and has released several artbooks and they make for glorious cosplays but there's no officially story/characterisation for them other than to draw from the original Alice in Wonderland. Isn't that technically cosplaying fanart?

Does that mean I could cosplay a couture runway dress and qualify?
>>
>>9554362
Its who you know that matters, she's frequently seen at a lot of cons and as a guest so people know her face and have heard about her and she's friends in a wide circle of the community and gets photographed a lot by the main photographers. That and her more talented friends have carried her so far to this point.
>>
>>9554373
I just knew of her as one of the Disney Princess Party girls.
>>
>>9554370

Was it Sakizou? Because I'm not going to even lie I am sick of that stuff by now. I get it's pretty, detailed and requires a lot of work but it is stagnating cosplay competitions so badly and its not even of video game, anime or film origin. Its like how we had a flood of space marines in comps for some time except warhammer actually belongs in this nerdy little community. I'm not in any way shunning artists or their skills, but we have to draw a line with what can be entered into cosplay competitions at some point. At least WCS does and actually stipulates what can and cannot enter. Others should do the same.
>>
>>9554342
She did at LFCC
>>
>>9554387
I thought ECG did, but apparently not then? Yamato Cosplay Cup, WCS, CICAF and I'm forgetting one I think??? they all have strict rules I thought. Oh yeah, CWM, they actually have a 10% Accuracy, 40% skit and 50% costume quality I thought. But I'm not certain.
>>
>>9554387
I agree. Sakizou is basically "I'm here to win this contest. If i remember correctly the Swiss run competition Polymanga GEC outright bans sakizou cosplays from entering
>>
>>9554387
>>9554404
>>9554407
Like if it's for purely costume based judging then yeah, fair enough, show your skills and like the other anon, not knocking the artist cause I think their work is gorgeous.

But when you're marked on 'accurate representation of the character' and there's no...well...character...then it seems unfair?
>>
>>9554403
I wonder who were going to see at Eurocosplay qualifiers versus LFCC.
>>
>>9554506
Shamelia and Amazonian did both last year which is a bit overboard
>>
>>9554508
Because they're both super thirsty for any possible win. But rather than improve the costume they just re-enter everything even when the costume starts to fall apart.
>>
It winds me up a bit, because shit like this is what puts me off competing. It doesnt matter how much better you got, how good and clean it looks, there's always going to be someone with a costume that looks like a bomb site inside winning because they have mates on the other side of the desk.
But at the same time I dont want the type of attention they go for. Call me old school, but I'd rather just be judged for what I made and the skills I used. Not because I'm a social media massacre like some of these people are.
Sorry if I come across as extremely bitter, and I very much doubt I'm the only one who feels this way. This feeling even extends to people who are competing but dont win because a certain cosplayer is there with a big presence for the wrong reasons.
>>
>>9554403
Did she? Well I suppose if you throw enough shit something eventually sticks
>>
Really loved Helen Alices dress, was accurate and flattering! Her partner though was embarrassing. Thanks for making the uk look like amateurs milly
>>
>>9554545
To be honest I wouldn't say it's always friendship judging. There's always lots of entries for everything, WCS, ECG, EC the lot, but so many underestimate the level of work it is to roll hem rather than serge, embroider and bead rather than iron on, line rather than hem, and that's just dressmaking. Also building a skit, building a backdrop, getting enough practice in, keeping pace with your partner. The expense of it all because it's so much more than 'make a costume in a week and wear exhausted to con'. That the drop out rate is usually like 70%.

So you end up with a handful of entries of people that are better prepared more than best representation of potential cosplays.

You're more likely to win if you enter.

You don't even get to say you lost if you don't enter.
>>
>>9554411
The UK is pretty crap at cosplay in general, but it is really shit at team cosplays.

There are normally so few entries for team contests that judges quite often have to give it to the team with one vaguely good costume or some semblance of an act.

There aren't many exceptions, the only ones which spring to mind are Lex and Laura
>>
>>9554679
Yeah the qualifiers for this year's UK ECG only had 4 groups including the winners, and two fell apart on stage so there wasn't really much choice. There are always loads of solo entries however so the quality tends to be higher
>>
>>9552695
You can even SEE the unhemmed underskirt sticking out the bottom there. Has that girl got no shame? Also look at that collar sticking to her neck. Must have no friends if they let her get photographed looking like that.
>>
>>9554678
This gives me hope for a possible entry at LFCC. If it goes through. If so, I have the next few weeks to do any improvements and repairs to the costume.
>>
>>9552695
Funny how everyone says she swans about with her head up her arse when the look in her eyes says "I didn't even try"
>>
>>9554781
It's the sheer arrogance of her not to try.
>>
>>9554824
Maybe she realised that she could get more attention being bad and making the UK the worst group/costume in ECG than by doing well and coming say 3rd or just below.
>>
>>9554824
It's pathetic and insulting to the community as a whole that she thinks she can just ride on other people's coattails.

Give it time. People will drop her and she'll end up known as the has-been who showed up the UK at ECG.
>>
I don't think Exelia is much better. Not to say her outfit wasn't well made, but it was way too simple. It's almost like bar Lex, Laura and Ben, all our qualifiers just seem satisfied with qualifying.
>>
>>9554855
Dunno whether this is better or worse than the year our team had the same finals costumes as another team.
>>
>>9554893

I agree actually. She put effort into it but it feels like it was just another ticked off from the small pool of series she cosplays from and it was more for herself than with the goal to actually try and win with a more impressive costume.
>>
>>9554897
I imagine those costumes were at least well made.

So this is probably worse. Amelia is the GBT choice who can't sing or dance but gets through because the judges need an easy boot as the competition gets closer to the finals. But through some fuckup in the timelines or twist of fate somehow makes it to the damn finals.
>>
>>9554937
*BGT

the point still stands. Her dress was bad.
>>
>>9554893
Wasn't last year solos done by clockwork dandy noodles or something? Her qualifying costume was lord of chaos from Warhammer I thought? I thought it was really impressive... Compared to this year's qualifiers.
>>
>>9554954
That's not the point, the point is they all seem to qualify and just pat themselves on the back for getting that far, take the free trip to Paris and make no effort for the finals.
>>
>>9554936
Completely agree. Its like she cared more about doing a cosplay of her favourite character on that big stage than the competition. Which is fine, it's just a little disappointing as it was nowhere near ECG level in terms of difficulty
>>
>>9554853
That would require too much effort for the thought. I think she's just lazy and didn't start in time
>>
>>9555038
She placed 3rd though so an effort was made. It was just forgettable

The War Hammer Tzench costume which Clockwork Dandy Noodles used in the qualifier was one of those costumes which looked good from a distance but had some problems up close.

Her ECG final costume was/is a much stronger costume all round and she brought one of the better solo stage acts.

It was a good effort from her and I'm glad she placed
>>
>>9555038
Do you compete yourself? Because if I hear this attitude, it's like you only want to win. I personally compete and I just enjoy entertaining the audience, winning is a bonus. This year I won the Dutch preliminaries for Yamato so it at least got me somewhere.

Yeah I have big plans for the finals, but my ultimate goal is to have fun that weekend, leave a good impression and maybe win. But it's not my #1 priority.
>>
>>9555515
There's a difference between going for fun and not to win, Vs going to have fun and do your country proud.
>>
>>9555540
"Do your country proud" fuck me this is cosplay not going off to Afghanistan
>>
>>9555553
Not make UK cosplay look more of a joke than it already does?
>>
>>9555553
like it or not if you enter a contest with finals against international representatives, you are representing your country and its cosplay
You should be bringing your best, doesnt mean you cant have fun. If you don't want to carry that weight, there are other contests you can enter

Exelia definitely has the skill set to make something with more impact, compared to competitors it looked lazy no matter how well finished it looked
>>
>>9555572
>You should be bringing your best, doesnt mean you cant have fun.
Absolutely agree on that
>>
>>9555581
And that's just it. Bring YOUR best. Doesn't need to be perfect as long as you showed you care. It's disrespectful to the comp and the other competitors to turn up in some shit because you can't be arsed.
>>
>>9555515
Not in cosplay but I've competed national level on other things. You don't see people going to Wimbledon to enjoy tennis. If you're competing at high tier levels of competition across any discipline you're either being sponsored stupid amounts, forced by your parents, or love it so much that the extra work/training/time/effort doesn't matter.

My personal opinion is that you should be trying to win by bringing your a-game and your best skills, push yourself a little, challenge yourself. And yes, aim to entertain. If that's not enough, fine, you lost to something better on the day.

But when finals costumes look like less effort than qualifying ones it just says you're not taking the finals as seriously as you took the qualifiers. Like beating your local competition was enough but you already figure you're screwed against finalists?
>>
>>9555602
That would not be my way no. Is that what shamelia did then? I'd think so, reading this thread. No I aim to please, to entertain and I would love and certainly aim, to place high.

My finals costume might not look as impressive as my qualifying costume, but I hope to make it look more refined, cleaner, higher quality. and in a way, more amusing. The biggest challenge will be to get it to Brazil.
>>
>>9555602
Some costumes which look really spectacular on stage or at a distance aren't very good contest pieces - especially in big contests.

The point of pre-judging is for the costumes to be examined in close detail - having a relatively simple but very well made and highly accurate costume will always impress the judges more than a not especially well finished spectacular costume.

In my experiance, getting a really good finish takes a hell of a lot of planning and effort
>>
>>9555614
ECG is 50% costume 50% skit
skill level for construction in this contest is high, making something basic but well finished isn't enough to be considered. The judges aren't going to be impressed with perfect hemming, good finishing, good wigs or props, they will just expect it.

Exelias costume was beautifully executed but with exception of shamelia and a few others all the competitors costumes were well executed.

I haven't seen the performances so I can't comment beyond what I've heard which is the group was an awkward mess and the solo was barely more than a walk on
>>
>>9555697
And even the 50% is split. One third accuracy, one third craftsmanship one third techniques. So if the costume doesn't have a variety of techniques, like exelias doesn't, she won't be able to get a third of the costume points.
>>
>>9555751
Are you kidding? Exelias costume has more techniques on it than the group combined. Just because they look simple doesn't mean they're not there.
>>
>>9555896
The only skills Shamelia has are hot glue and bullying people to sew for her.
>>
>>9555993
She's not the only one to bully people to do something for them. I've heard more people like that.
>>
>>9556005
What Helen Alice??
>>
>>9556017
Nah, a guy, not very cosfamous. But he's bullied someone into making him a wig before MCM apparently, despite the wigmaker saying she couldn't do it. In the end, she did, and he just kept throwing money at her and bullied her and all that, delivering the wig at MCM. But that's what I've heard from /one/ side.
>>
>>9556088
Newfag detected? This is 4chan
Name and shame or it didn't happen
>>
>>9557131
I'm not a newfag, I've been around for a while. But he's just not cosfamous, or so I think. Jim jan fong(Or something like it??).
>>
>>9557139
>Jim Jan fong
Sounds fake but okay
>>
>>9556088
>>9557139
>>9556005
Bullying people to make cosplay for you is actually quite common because a lot of talentless people do it and take advantage of those who are nice and can craft.

>>9555993
But it's a bit of an issue when an ECG rep's whole cosplay career is built on it
>>
>>9557200
I just take pleasure in the fact that at some point, the talentless ones, especially those who take credit for other people's work, will be seen for what they truly are.

It's just too bad that genuinely talented people suffer under it first.
>>
>>9554853
She's not that clever lmao she's just lazy
>>
>>9557235
Lazy and an awful person. Shit at cosplaying too
>>
>>9557200
That reminds me of the dude who got a girl to make him a costume from the 100 for like no credit or money then kicked her to the curb. Redwood? Red something?
>>
>>9557256
Redwood Creations?
>>
>>9557177
Legit person, he can be a bit intense as a person, have no experience of him cosplay wise.
>>
>>9557335
The rapist?
>>
>>9557436
I HAVE heard that....
>>
>>9557335
I love the guys name, "creations". The idea of him making anything himself and not just buying it or conning it out of someone is hilarious.
>>
>>9557495
fucking hell shamelia you really can't stand the negative chatter so you throw your friend to the sharks thats low
>>
>>9557409
He creeps me and my friends out big time. I've heard so many horror stories...
>>
>>9557568
Lol was talking about redwood learn how to read
>>
>>9557573
Oh yeah he's a creep.
>>
>>9557568
Wrong person. The horror story is redwood creations
>>
>>9557569
Shamelia would throw Amazonian and Shades On under the bus without blinking if it did her a favour
>>
>>9557569
from what I've seen of how she treats her friends at conventions it wouldn't surprise me if she'd posted this.
>>
>>9557581
Sounds like she's found out and instead of talking to her "friend" has just been passive aggressive and posted here. Classic shamelia
>>
>>9557581
Shades On hasn't even been relevant since last year. why are we trying to drag him out again? we bored already?

Lucas is rapist!!!!!
>>
>>9557537
Well I just heard she had to be sewn into her finals cosplay and was apparently joking proudly about it. Like at the finals level you don't even put in a Fucking zip?
>>
>>9557597
It's not even meant to be a zip, it's supposed to be buttons
>>
>>9557598
Even Velcro would have been better than nothing. It's new levels of shit tier for Shamelia
>>
>>9557608
I bet she was just hoping if she left it then Helen would take over and fix it all
>>
>>9557611
I doubt even god could have fixed that mess
>>
>>9557597
This happened. Sham shouted at the person helping (not Helen) and got her to fix the costume repeatedly while bragging she hadn't slept and wasn't finished on time
>>
>>9557637
Why is that girl such a mess?
>>
>>9557637
Cann you imagine how many corners she cut if it looks that bad in photos and she was bragging about not being done?
>>
>>9557655
She brags about not being done or staying up at night with every costume
>>
>>9557590
kek last I heard Shamelia was still trying to fuck Kyle so if she finds out Amazonian's been with him she'll be pissed
>>
>>9557671
she basically dry humps him whenever she drinks
>>
>>9557671
>>9557675

noooobbooooodddy caaaaaarrreeeeessss
>>
>>9557675
congrats on singling yourself out as to who you are.

you fucking moron
>>
>>9557637
Wasn't she still sewing it the morning of the con? How much of a waste of space do you have to be to think that's acceptable. Way to make the UK look shabby
>>
>>9557678
Clearly you do, Beth
>>
>>9557701
calm down chicken
>>
>>9557697
Shabby is an understatement.
>>
>>9557697
Absolutely everyone there now knows HA dragged Shamelia's pathetic ass to finals and Shamelia still couldn't deliver
>>
>>9557671
Maybe Kyle got sick of poison dwarf so thought he'd get himself some horse face action instead?
>>
>>9557671
hilarious considering she's been banging another tog, and comes onto anyone amazonian admits to liking
>>
>>9557781
Who, big guy slim?
>>
>>9554373
>>9554545
You are terribly misinformed. Friendship judging is but a concept and does not exist in 99% of the time.
>>
>>9557866
she is the 1%
>>
>>9557866
everyone is getting sick of her and Amazonians toxic attitude by this point. Be surprised if people chose to work with them very much in the future.
>>
>>9557879
Surprised if they're invited to any more cons, especially after that Potter con crap from last year too
>>
>>9557941
what happened??
>>
>>9557879
I've witnessed Amazonian attack people online before, she's one to avoid.
>>
>>9557781
Who she fucking now? Why is it always photographers?
>>
>>9558419
Cmon now this is 4chan. Proof or it didn't happen
>>
Can we move past this unimportant drama and get back on topic? What's everyone wearing to LFCC and MCM Manchester? What are the pros and cons of each con? How did you decide on one over the other?
>>
>>9558572
Pros
LFCC guests
Manchester MCM cheaper
Cons
LFCC guests
LFCC showmasters
Manchester MCM too far north
>>
>>9558572
Ok Beth
>>
>>9558572
Lfcc has the cash prizes for Cosplay which Shamelia and Amazonian are convinced they will win
>>
>>9558579
I know what you mean. Hope Natalie Dormer doesn't need to cancel again this year.
>>
>>9558572
Nice try Amazhoenian
>>
>>9558616
Eurocosplay contestants can breathe easy.
Not because Shamazonelia is competition but because they won't have to put up with them backstage.
>>
>>9558744
The UK can breathe easy because Sham isn't trying to represent the UK again.
>>
>>9558752
For now. Just wait she'll try again next year
>>
>>9558744
Shamazonelia Just sounds grotesque. Matches their personalities i suppose.
>>
>>9558572
Natasha Volkova from Red Alert 3 on Saturday at LFCC. That's all really.
>>
David Hayter at Manchester MCM. Impressive. Shame I won't be able to go. Here's hoping that he'll be at London MCM in October too
>>
ECG videos are up on youtube
>>
>>9559192
What do we think of the uk
>>
>>9559203
Better than a lot of them. A boring idea executed kinda well.
>>
>>9559049

I honestly thought I was being trolled here and went to check personally.

I screamed. I'm so happy about this - I will gladly pay for an autograph in this instance!
>>
>>9559203
They may not be accurate, but I like Helen Alice's Irregular Choice shoes for Snow.

At least I'm pretty sure they're the blue IC Kanjanka.
>>
>>9559306
At least it's more accurate than Shamelia's costume will ever be. Plus there was too much talking compared to the others countries and her over acting death scene.
>>
>>9559341
Shame Helen Alice completely fucked up the sword swing
>>
>>9559365
It looks like Amelia launched themselves to the floor because of that sword swing
>>
>>9559365
alright amelia
>>
>>9559365
If it was me competing I'd rather fuck up a two second sword swing than an entire gown I'd had nearly a year to make. I think we all know who looks the bigger fool here
>>
>>9559341
Personally I thought the overacted death was in keeping with the take on the Queen, the ending confused me a little.
I don't think they used the stage space to best effect, their lack of experience showed.
Exelia's skit reminded me of France's team skit from 2013 with the flag and treasure chest at the end. Hmm.
>>
>>9559921
Because having a barrel, treasure chest and flag are so original in a pirate themed skit eh? The performances are nothing alike.
>>
HA I just caught up, Amazonian is shacking up with her friends ex?! Classy broad, wonder how shamelia feels about that!
>>
>>9559976
For all the hard work she put into her weapon I was confused why she didn't show it off more and used a flag instead. Five seconds into her performance and she dropped it on the ground
>>
>>9559980
I guess it'll still fetch the costume points anyway. But if she carried it she wouldn't have been able to do the skit.
>>
>>9559365
Helen fucked up the sword swing because Amelia fell over on stage, she wasn't meant to fall that early but tripped on her dress.
>>
>>9559981
It was more of a walk-on than a skit. Plus it felt really short compared to the other solos but that might just be me.
>>
>>9559985
The sword was before the fall, you can't fuck something up before it's even happened dumbass vendettachan
>>
>>9559987
Calm down Milly
>>
>>9559987
However the solo act stumbled on her first turn with the flag, you can see her heel roll over. I was in the audience and had to take a breath as for a second I thought she would fall. Thankfully not
>>
>>9559203
Considering we hadn't seen any progress from Amelia I liked the group skit and their costumes on stage. It's nothing special but nowhere near as bad as I was expecting it to be.

Exelias skit is pleasant, the costume is simple but looks great on stage. I haven't played the game but it's easy to understand and fun to watch
>>
>>9559203

I thought the solo one was boring as hell.
The group one was pretty solid, and probably could have done without the end dance portion because the music just ruined the mood of the dramatic end.
>>
>>9559976
I only said it reminded me of it, don't need to get so defensive.
>>
>>9560015
Glad I'm not the only one who felt this way about both performances. The solo obviously went with safe but it was such a snore-fest next to other acts and the group dance ending was odd. Dancing over a corpse? Killed the mood indeed.
>>
>>9560030
I mean that's literally how the film ends but ok
>>
>>9560030
And yet it's rather fitting.

After seeing the half-assed attempt at the gown I think Helen would be quite happy to stab Shamelia and dance over her corpse.
>>
>>9560043
I also found this fitting. Helen gets the last laugh both on and offstage!
>>
>>9560034
She "literally" dances on a corpse? Ok then i'll take your word for it
>>
>>9559985
You can hear the sword swing audio effect way before Amelia fell. Helen missed her cue
>>
>>9560064
Yes that one thing is the reason the UK didn't win.
>>
>>9560091
Never said that. The skit wasn't near good enough to win. Just pointing out that Helen Alice wasn't perfect as everyone seems to think
>>
>>9560109
that and my experiences with her have been less than pleasant in terms of her attitude
>>
>>9560007
Keep feeling like I've seen the name Exelia before but I've been out of the cosplay loop for a long time. Has she entered WCS before and what can we expect for the UK this year?
>>
>>9560138
Not many people like these two do they?
>>
>>9560140
Yes, she did WCS in 2013 with Yuka with Final Fantasy 6. Her solo ECG performance from the weekend is up on YouTube.
>>
>>9560146
That must be it then. I meant in terms of WCS what can we expect? I've seen the names of the winners but can't really say I've heard of them
>>
>>9560138
She used to be a proper cunt on here back when she was friends with Amelia and Beth. Looks to have mellowed out since she stopped hanging out with them.
>>
>>9526189he name is Liam spooner. His Facebook profile is Liam Xehanort spooner and he live at Croydon. You can bully the shit out of him as much as you want
>>
>>9560148
Ah sure. This year is MoonLily and Frederica la Noir. They've both been around a long time, nice clean work, but their performance from MCM wasn't anything too surprising. I doubt they'll place but they should be good reps
>>
>>9560146
Didn't people kick off when they selected their friends as winners the year after?
>>
>>9560160
Wait so she's not friends with Amelia, but they just did a performance together
>>
>>9560208
They qualified last september.
>>
>>9560160
Briefly met her at birmingham this year. still a proper cunt.
>>
>>9560222
She's definitely still a cunt, surprised more people haven't mentioned that recently
>>
>>9560201
Yeah Felixize and Emi I believe. I think people got annoyed only because they entered with last minute costumes
>>
>>9560030
I mean, thats the end of the movie its from, a odd dance number.

Also from what i've heard shameilia refused to show her partner the script until like a month ago and wrote it all herself.
>>
>>9560255
Like >>9554678 pointed out, there's always a massive drop out rate. There were only 4 entries including them and none of them were stand out. Even if they did back their friends cause they know their friend's work that possibly still a better bet in terms of quality at the finals that picking someone you don't know.
Cause Felixize and Emi picked people they didn't know the following year only for that team to go silent and change their finals costume last minute. So they bitched about how embarrassing that was.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
>>
>>9560222
She's been nothing but lovely to me every time I've met her
>>
>>9560290
However... that Amelia is a jumped up lil bitch who thinks the world owes her a favour
>>
>>9560279
I'm not surprised Amelia wrote it to be honest, Helen certainly dances like she doesn't have an acting bone in her body
>>
>>9559987
Seen them rehearsing and confirm amelia actually tripped. Her last line was not supposed to be from the floor.
>>
>>9560309
Also helen missed her cue during all three rehearsals
>>
>>9560316
Hi Amelia.
>>
>>9560250
probably cause shamelia is a bigger one.
>>
>>9557781
So who is this other tog? there can't be many that thinks she's decent.
>>
>>9560329
could be any tog as long as they have 10k+ likes
>>
>>9560329
Yeah surely if they had any taste they wouldn't touch her with a bargepole
>>
>>9560329
Might be worth checking out who has done her recent photos? Maybe one of them?
>>
Did shamelia always have such a round face or has she been putting on weight recently?
>>
>>9560349
It was always round but she must have put on weight too because wow
>>
>>9538914
Went, It was absolute shit, I almost got raped like 20 times.
>>
>>9543003
It was my first time going and Im never going to any anime league event again. Saw mike at the rave with a girl in his lap. Got scared.
>>
Im going Manchester MCM thinking of London but cant afford £400 for a hotel.

Advice/Help needed
>>
>>9560282

The last minute costume change was because one of the entrants had their cat totally trash a costume beyond repair. Most people would bail or throw in the towel so im glad they picked themselves up.
>>
Ladies and gents.

Planning on going to HyperJapan for the first time this year.

Going with friends who are hugely into anime, I'm not "That" big into it we all work for a Japanese company so pretty familliar with the culture and shit, mainly going for food and booze.

What can I expect?
>>
>>9560551
I think they were talking about Felixize and Emzone in general not the pair they put through.
>>
>>9560571
Don't expect too much Japanese anime apart from the figurine stalls and odd one or two games, and if you're lucky Nintendo stand. desu, it's mainly tailored to Japanese culture so Japanese styled clothings, sweets and food is more of what you'll get, and massive queues. There's also a j fashion show normally, and a shit tonne of weebs cosplaying Miku.
>>
>>9560345
Has she even done any shoots recently?
>>
>>9560514

Dont go. We have this cycle every year; people bitch about the price, go anyway, find its just as disappointing as last time, say they'll drop it, rinse and repeat.
Just save your money for the condensed versions (Brum, Manchester etc) if you are close to them because London has the same thing in one corner but copy pasted across the rest of the hall so you end up looking at the same shit 20 times or more.
>>
>>9561135

Didnt they also have a falling out of some kind? They unfriended each other for some time but then went back to being all buddy-buddy.
And I dont like Emzone either, she walks around with a face like a slapped arse.
>>
>>9561355
The 2015 team or Emi and Felixize?
>>
>>9561355

Felixize is worse. You should read her tweets. ended up unfollowing a lot of their group earlier this year because most of the time all they did was criticise other cosplayers passive-aggressively for not having the right colour wig etc. And then witnessed Felixize strolling up in half-finished or bought cosplays to Japan Expo like bitch, you have no right to judge anyone
it's sad because I used to look up to most of them back in the day
>>
>>9561294
It seems to be mostly Star Trek shoots now
>>
>>9561384
I was actually under the impression she had quit cosplay as she deleted her fb page a while ago and hasnt entered any comps?
>>
>>9561355
Maybe but people fall out and make up all the time. It happens and it's just life
>>
>>9561410

Saw her Miku cosplay on Instagram that she apparently wore to Japan Expo and i at first didn't realise it was her as i thought the same. Think she might be for Kitacon as well next month.
>>
>>9561384
>>9561355
Emi is actually really nice and has a lot of time for people, it's kind of dumb to judge someone for their neutral expression.

I thought I had never met Felixize before, but I realised that she must have changed her username because looking it up I actually did just meet her at Japan Expo. She was friendly and her costume looked pretty good, I don't think wearing bought costumes is even a bad thing if you dress everything else well and take care of your appearance.
>>
>>9561423
Just to clarify there is nothing wrong with buying a cosplay. I can see the point the previous person was trying to make, it just wasn't said well
>>
>>9561385
what about that kermit girl she's always shooting her star trek shit with now?
>>
>>9561423
>>9561355
I agree, I don't actually know any people who could say bad things about Emi so I'm interested to know what she did to make you so mad.

>>9561422
Do you know what her Instagram name is? I thought I followed her and I can't find her through Felixize?
>>
Are you thinking of the right person?
You seem confused anon. Emi and Lauren never removed each other nor have they fought.
>>
>>9561451
Looked back through my likes, it's jaeger_project
>>
>>9561496
Yeah just from looking at this it seems like she only got back into cosplay recently after giving it up for ages? Her last cosplay post before a month or two ago was from 2015
>>
Why is the UK con scene so shit?
>>
>>9561458
Emi seems to cosplay more with Isamiaella now anyway
>>
>>9561384
hoping she's mellowed out her ways for now and she's working on being a nicer person especially towards other cosplayers. I remember her being a bit intimidating and gobby but that was a while ago now so I don't know
>>
>>9561622
Maybe they did fall out and those two things are related - after all people don't necessarily air their personal grievances over social media. I know Lauren got deadass dumped by her bf recently but you wouldn't know it looking at her Facebook or twitter.
>>
>>9561646
Wow what a dickhead you are. If she hasn't made it public why post it here? Wanting a quick kick out of needless drama? Take your shitty vendetta elsewhere
>>
>>9561443
Who?
>>
>>9561721
whoa calm down angry and paranoid. Yeah it was a dickhead thing to do but jumping straight to calling it a vendetta? They clearly know each other well enough to have them on Facebook so I'm guessing it's a friend who typed that out before thinking and will probably delete it for all we know
>>
>>9561762
Kerrit?
>>
>>9561774
It has absolutely nothing to do with cosplay or any of the stuff previously discussed, why bring it up.
>>
>>9561778
Hear me out i'm agreeing with you on this one. She needs a friend haul on that FB of hers in my opinion. Get better friends Felixize

Back to cosplay can we talk WCS or something please
>>
>>9561788
Change of subject, since the ECG entry list has opened, who do you think would enter?
>>
>>9561793
RossECobb always enters and Amazonian is desperate to win.
>>
>>9561860
I heard Andy Valentine is entering
>>
>>9561582
Blame Brexit.
>>
>>9561860

Yeah she's as thirsty as a desert for a win.
>>
>>9561860
Do the last winners judge the next qualifiers? Because then Shamelia would give her friend the win.
>>
>>9562002
Usually one of them does. It might be Shamelia but it could also be HA or Exelia
>>
>>9562002
I want to enter this year and fuck no will I do so with her judging. If she does I'm going to complain. She isn't trust worthy and doesn't have the skill for me too respect her as a judge.
>>
>>9562014
Same. Do they post who the judges are going to be?
>>
>>9562031
Nope they dont
>>
>>9562002
Thing is there are four judges. So even if one gave full marks to their friend, they wouldn't win unless they were good enough to

Yeah pretty much any instances where people claim judging bias is all bullshit cause there are just too many judges to put one over another in these situations even if you expect the worst of people (which they usually never are)
>>
>>9562100
Plus itd be obvious and the other judges would call out that shit

This so much.
If they beat you it's because they were better, not because they had a 'buddy' on the judging panel.

So Amazonian can take her beat up ass home and give up on the shit skits

All it takes is for 1/2 nervous polite judges and the stroppy one can override them. The idea is that 3/4 judges removes bias and it does if you do it purely on marks and don't discuss. as soon as you discuss you open up the doors to a pushy judge, if you don't discuss you get last lscc. No system is perfect but at hopefully Shamelia won't be in either.

What happened last LSCC?

Kamui was a cunt

They didn't get to discuss, it went on points and at least three judges complained about the system.
>>

What's wrong with doing it by points? That's how ECG and eurocosplay are done too. Makes it easier to be fairer

>>9562494
What do you do if it's a tie
>>
>>9559986
I liked it, it was simple and effective. A lot of the solos felt rushed and busy, but not Exelia's.
>>
>>9562494
Ecg and euro still get to discuss, the judges are allowed to discuss their points. So the sewer can explain something complicated to the armor only judge etc.

Lfcc didn't. They literally went off points only.

Tbh I really don't care because I don't enter, I just wanted to point out all systems are flawed

This happens all the time. The loudest judge wins. Then you find out he is the cosplayers agents brother. The worst is the host wants a certain person to win so the can use them for promotion.
Collusions ruin cons. No one talks about comic con anymore its not worth cosplaying. The central eu cosplayers dont get talked about cause they are all friends and its all rigged. Uk cons were hot now its predictable.
If you know who you want to win then lower the entry fee (if your con has one) and make it basically a parade. Cause uk cons are going outta style except ones with dan & phil.

Too many friends & associates dominate.
Start looking up people who arent in gang. The lonewolf cosplayers are going to be your best bet.

Did anyone get a recording of the Toriena chiptune thing from yesterday? I could have sworn they said they were gonna be streaming it, but I probably misunderstood something since I can find anything.
