I've been waiting for someone to make it! All the registrations are probably my favorite part of the new year. I'd post tables, but that folder is on a drive I left at home.
>Voluntarily go on the wait list (was accepted) for Momocon's 2015 alley since I was finishing school around the time of the con.
>Am currently on the wait list for 2016 because they forgot about me until after registration.
Oops.
I really like this girl's setup, it's clean and makes her art stand out.
Europeans, how do you price your acrylic charms? 8-10 dollars seems to be the US standard, but it seems like they're a way bigger thing over there so they might be able to ask more. I want to keep my prices nice and round but 5 euros seems way low.
(I'm getting double sided clears from vograce, for reference)
>>8793079
Maybe a bit of a stupid question, but how did the shipping go from Vograce to europe for you? I've been wanting to get charms made for quite a while now.
Also I decided to not go to an upcoming con in my country to table, and rather start working on starting up an online store for merchandise.
The main reason being that I didn't have enough time to prepare since the organization is slow as fuck and I've never tabled before, and that it's a small con and I'm afraid I'll over-invest into it and I already don't have too many funds.
Let's talk about making armor and props.

Currently working on a Wing Zero Custom mech suit.
>favorite materials and tools to work with
Sintra is my prefered material. Most used tool is a simple razor knife.
>tools that you think everyone should have
Having an adjustable rotary tool and a power sander can speed up your projects by a great deal.
>tips/tricks that you've developed or would recommend
For my masks I have them equipped with magnets for quick removal for when I need to take a drink, catch my breath or talk with someone.
>tutorials or guides that you think are helpful
Clive Lee's mecha costume tutorial is a great go-to for first timers.

Planning to make the wings moveable or fixed?
If Fixed, and not planning to do a dynamic style like the ones found on the AGP version, I recommend the wings on the 1/72 B Club kit. Proportion makes for a better looking overall wing over the newer RG and much more so over the MG and PG styled wings.
>>8786801
Movable though if stability is a problem they may have to be fixed.
Im using the 1/60 PG of mine as reference so the wings will be based on that.
New movie out and no Star Wars thread?
>>8773452
Don't cosplay outside your race!1!!!
It's been a minute since an uchuu-kei thread!
Post uchuu or space-inspired jfashion, links to appropriate clothing finds, etc.
Any new inspiration?
Have you come up with a cute coord?
Please share!
>>8755526
Shitty selfpost draw
I'll dump some stuff I have.
>>8755540
Any hauls to share?
Who's going to AOD here?
LJ and Isuna Hasekura get hype
>>8798443
AoD is weird. As in, despite the fact it draws good numbers every year, no one ever talks about it on social media or cgl
I hope it isn't a ghost con this year, the venue change is very far away from SF and I'm not sure people are going to make the trek down there.
First time going. What can I expect? I'm sure there will be changes with the new venue, but what has it been like before? Is the cosplay scene good? How's the Masquerade? Quality panels?
New cringe thread
so I found this

is this what weaboos have been doing while I've been gone? goddamit it

It is a bit cringy but her voice is nice.
>>8796953
she's like an actual singer (well more then most) she has sung songs various things (black butlers ending song) etc. the video is a little awkward but not SUPER cringy
>>8796953
I think it would've been better if she altered the english lyrics instead of doing the actual translation. The lengthening of words made it sound weird. Besides that she does have a good voice and the video is more weird than cringy.
Haven't seen one for a while.
Show off your purses/bags/backpacks and what's inside them! Can post inspo as well.
Bonus points for Jfashion or fandom.
Dumping some cute bags to get us started.

Old one maxed out, let's get a new one going!
"Finished the under-bust corset for my steampunk Peridot cosplay at 1 am this morning @_@"
what?
>>8791885
I feel like this desperately needs a caption
I'm bored and haven't seen one of these in a bit. Give me/others something to draw.
>All J-fash styles (lolita, mori, otome, gyaru, deco, etc.) are welcome!
>Cosplay is discouraged, because then it's basically fanart of your character.
>Please provide your best photos.
>Artists: it's not a bad idea to just sign your work
>Selfposters: When giving credit, it's a good idea to refer to the art as a freebie or commission, NOT fanart.
>Helpful critique is acceptable, insults and taunts are not.
>You should actually be wearing your coord, not "Draw me in X!"
>Have fun!
It'd be awesome if someone drew me in my latest coord!

How much should I be looking to spend on this in Red only?
This JSK in short/beige? I'm the first owner, I've worn it once, so it's still in perfect condition
>>8773578
Are you new here or something? There's no need to bump, you're just clogging the thread up.
Okay, so...
Someone's selling Holy Prayer from Surface Spell for $113 shipped.
But I saw someone else selling it for $80 shipped (couldn't buy it in time though).
Are they overpricing or was that person underpricing? They said they were open to offers but I don't know how to politely offer less than what they're asking, and I don't want to offend them. Help?

>Bitch about Facebook groups and other online comms
>No singling people out
>Censor names in posts as much as possible
am I the only one who's noticed this.. thing in RC? there's someone with a male name and a catgirl profile pic who's signing all of his posts with a female name. not sure if troll, mental illness or a creep, it's giving me weird vibes
90% of my comm is inactive, meaning they never post, comment or come to meets.
Very few girls are experienced lolitas the rest aren't even beginners, just people who claim to be "interested in the fashion" but never make an effort to buy tgeir first piece. Its enfuriating. I wish we could kick those members out of the comm.
>>8763065
He's giving me creepy vibes, too. Afaik he hasn't done anything bad yet but I'm keeping an eye on him (as paranoid as that sounds) just in case he ends up being a real creep later.
Couldn't find a hair general and I didn't want to shit up the black hair thread.
I'm looking for inspo on a short cut with a short fringe. I have reservations against wigs so I'm trying to make the most with my current shaggy cut I have now.
I'm afraid that if I go too weird I'll look like a douche.
It's been a while since we've had one of these. Some people find them pretty cringey, but I've seen some interesting comic/sci-fi/weeby weddings. Ever been to a themed wedding? Post best and worst.
