As someone who has never been to Otakon, why has it gotten such a shitty rap? I am considering going this year, but I need to know the nitty gritty before I buy a hotel and cosplay materials.
>really hot
>Baltimore
>overpriced
>crowded but overpriced is sorta taking care of that
The weather is disgustingly hot and humid. Step outside and you're immediately covered in sweat.
The area also isn't very nice. All night you can hear police sirens.
The overall quality of cosplay and lolita from the attendees is really low and disappointing.
The convention center is confusing as shit and it's impossible to meet up with people.
artist alley open for like 12 hours its fucking ridiculous
its also so busy that the food places nearby are always overcrowded and it takes an hour for them to feed you... so hungry.
1 Month until MTAC! Who is ready? Cosplay plans? Concerned / irritated by the lack of updates?
>>8879157
I'm ready! My friends and I have been going to MTAC for, like, 8 or 9 years now, and we've been a little leery of the lack of updates. We usually have a lot more info by this time, so we're not to sure what it's gonna be like this year.
>>8879847
I've been going since 2013. I wish I had know it existing before then. The updating sucks. The group that is running them did the same thing with GMX. It was a slow process to get the announcements but it turned out to be a good con so I still have some faith. Hopefully they will make some more announcements this week.
For costumes I'm not sure yet. My brother wants to do star wars costumes but I'm not sure he's will be done in time. I have a backup but I'll see if I can help him out.
This will be year 4 or 5 for me. Friend is going as Gajeel and wants me to do Natsu, so that'll probably be one of mine.
Got a room already, so I'm just saving up some cash for the dozens of figures I'm bound to buy.

old one not even close to autosage, newfag
so im a ugly shit, what cosplays can i do wearing a helmet or some other kind of head covering
>Find character that wears a mask/helmet
>Cosplay that
And don't half ass it either. From one ugly shit to another, you have to put in double or triple the effort into it to look good because even with that mask on people will still know you're an ugly fuck.
>>8876793
Just this. I'm also in the same boat. Just search for characters you like, there are loads.
I love gasmasks and delinquent characters (who often wear medical masks) so I roll with those.
Some characters of the top of my head that are popular:
Clear (DMMD), Tobi (Naruto), No Face (Spirited Away)
If you are only a butterface and can look good in a tight spandex suit, go the superhero route. There are also some western comic characters with covered faces like Scarecrow (DC).
Research.

The new Powerpuff Girls show is coming this year! is anyone else excited for this show to come back?
>Anyone planning any awesome cosplays from he show?
>Any recent photos of Powerpuff Girl Cosplays? (good or bad)
(I feel like in the past year I've seen so many more Powerpuff girl cosplayers and I'm sure the debut of the new show will bring a bunch more!)
I have a Princess Morbucks costume I'm working on for Wondercon :)
This is a famous drag queen's take on a few cartoons from the 90s. Thoughts? How do you like it??

I hope it doesnt reach the uncanny valley level of this abominations
I don't know if we've had a thread like this, but a con I'm going to soon has photo ops with some of my favorite people. I want to come up with a great pose. So can we have some funny or cute or special or ________ poses that might be nice to try.
Im especially interested in 2somes and 3somes, but moresomes are fine too! Thanks in advance cgl.
Obligatory Jojo poses
Anyone got any stormtrooper poses besides standing at attention or aiming the gun. Scout troopers in particular

seconding
I'm in a stage makeup class and our final is to replicate an existing character design. Any ideas for cosplay with complex makeup? SPX is ok.
Also, general cosplay makeup thread.
Mello from Death Note has some scarring
I had a lot of fun doing HJ makeup on my boyfriend, if you have a male model you could do that. Other borderlands characters too btw.
Surprised there's no thread yet, little over 3 months away! Who's going? What're your plans?
I've never been to Colossal myself, what can I expect anons? Any suggestions? I'm looking forward to it regardless.
The con itself is kinda meh, the selling point is the water park. There are always way too many photographers and a long wait/overcrowding in good photo area.
>>8874792
I kinda figured, anyone know how the game room is?
>>8874784
I have a blast but that's because the waterpark. The con has some decent panels but I don't go to that many. Bringing some Bloodborne costumes with us.
>>8874801
Game room is pretty nice although it depends on what you play like most.
>>8874792
I usually fuck with them outside by getting in their shots.
So I couldn't go due to work and $. What's going down thus far?
>starting a new thread for this when there's already a florida thread
Did you even try to look?
Actually i searched for a Pensacon thread rather than a FL thread and didn't find one. So, yes, I did look but clearly didn't search the right term.
>Thread on 4chan about a con in my city
Holy shit.
Is this real life?
Otakon thread. What cosplays do you plan on bringing?
You DID take advantage of the free badge with Omakase deal, right?
>>8874543
I'm going.
What deal is that?
>>8876505
Omikase is like the monthly subscription box but for anime items with original stuff. They were having a deal where if you subscribed, you get Otakon badge for $35 . They did that because they took a bad hit in attendance last year of -20%(34k to 27k)
I know a few people that did take advantage of it but the hotel, heat and crowd isn't really worth it anymore. I'll just wait till it moves location
>>8876519
yeah i imagine the price is starting to piss people off. But i dont want it to move, i live in Baltimore so it can stay.
So your not going?
Whatever happened to Kipi?
>>8874396
Dunno but I miss her in a nostalgic way. I miss the times when Kipi and Arisa were the deal.
>>8874421
it was a simpler time when tits weren't super important. even yaya didn't have em
>>8874428
Also every cosplay didn't need to have armor+wings+leds+four legs+big ass sword etc.

Please anon, us slow boards need to stick together
Hi guys, I have a question, does anyone of you have a complete/incomplete template for Spider Gwen costume? I want to make my first cosplay so I'm very new to all of this, I can draw just fine and I will draw my own version but I want to see some templates like this beforehand so I can understand how this works.
Thank you in advance
go to help thread plz
>>8874048
Just fuckin Google sub dye patterns or make your own fucking pattern through references.
It isn't that hard.
Let's say you could organise the convention of your dream, what would you do? What would you want to do better than other events you've visited so far? Who would you want to invite? What would be your goals? What activieties would you want to create?
If you could choose one convention to run from now on, which one should be it and why?
>>8873887
rather than discussing this I'd rather you kill yourself for making this shit thread
>>8873905
Only lolita threads are allowed to live
I'd offer everyone free crab legs.
