How to properly hoverloli:
1. Set camera on tripod
2. Take photo of background without anyone in it
3. Position self in scene

5. Go to Photoshop, place blank background photo on layer behind Loli photo
6. Erase legs on Loli layer

white mesh lenses could also do the trick i guess

Hi /cgl/
I'm curious, how do you prefer to handle cosplay weapons of ludicrous size? Is there anything you can make them out of that isn't ungodly heavy but doesn't look like styrofoam or snap in half in a strong wind?
I ask because I want to finish off an existing Dark Souls armor I have, which I have already worn to some cons, with an iconic weapon from the franchise. Ideally this would be the Black Knight Greatsword I have pictured, but I'm not 100% set on that since it might not be realistically practical.
I've glued styrofoam blocks together and cut them into shape, using wood as the core and handle. it was sure light but it also bent really easy and I have to be careful when waving it around. But I mean as long at you dont rest your weight on it and you try to stop people being FUCKING IDIOTS AND GRABBING IT AND TRYING TO HIT PEOPLE LIKE FUCKING SPURGLORDS you should do fine.

What was the finish like on your weapon? Did you just paint the styrofoam, or did you cover it with something like a layer of plastic or something? The picture might not carry it across very well, but the blade of the weapon in the game is very glossy, almost glass-like in appearance.
I doubt I can replicate that level of detail, but it would be nice to try. I am also a bit worried that, if I do my weapon the wrong way, it will clash heavily with the rest of my costume. With a couple of small exceptions,...

I covered it in woodglue and then plastidipped it with the spray kind. If you're this new to armor and prop building i suggest going to the help thread.
I'm undertaking an exercise in pain and I figured you guys would know the most about it. I'm trying to dye a shirt in gradiated monochrome levels, but ideally it would be done with precise, clear lines to each level. Something like pic related.
I've seen a lot of batik style tutorials, but has anyone made dye-paints? Possibly using some sort of thickening agent (flour? Cornstarch?) to make the dye solid enough that it doesn't bleed into the surrounding fabric while it stains. Your tutorials have silk paints, but that's not really what I'm...

what the fuck
i ain't reading this off topic wall of text
go to help thread or something
>>9051610
tl;dr
can i make dye paint??
what's gud dye?
Also I didn't see a help thread, my bad.
>>9051604
I actually learned how to do that in a class in college but it's been so long I can't remember if the dye was mixed with anything to make it not run. All I remember is painting the fabric with the batik dye and then throwing it in the microwave to set it.
I think the most precise way would be to silkscreen or digitally print on the fabric first and then make a shirt out of it.
Just a thread i started to get amateurs to be noticed, this picture is my first work i ever did. and yes its me.

What about the youth protection policy?
Momocon is now at the Congress Center! What panels are you going to? Who are you cosplaying? What are your coords?
Meetup is Saturday at 2, location to be decided below, contenders include Omni lobby and CNN food court.
On parking: i paid 15 at red deck, but the employees seemed to have no idea how their price structure works. They told me they dont even check cars at night for tickets, the ticket booth lady said they did not have overnight. I'm wary about buying a con pass that may be worthless.
Coming today boys
So when and where are the meetups?
(male cosplayer, if it matters)
Previous thread: >>9001798
Last time we discussed the eternal hotel reservation drama at Abunai, how much we hate special snowflakes who use autism as an excuse to get a room, lolita meetup etiquette, experiences of both Under the Sea and Japantag (DE), and Nishicon's retarted hotel prices. We also shared a massive amoutn of (poor) advice on how to get some cock and/or pussy during cons. Turns out you have to be active instead of spend all your day hoping for that cute (fem)anon to come to you.
