Been in the ATL comm for 6 years. Will continue unless they catch me being a pervert.
I met some friends through my comm that I hang out with all the time now.
I'm just glad not everyone is an Ita.
Any info on the AL comm? I might be transferring down there for a job, and I'm kind of worried that they're going to be a bunch of itas. I don't have a very good impression of most of the Southern comms.
X-Con Myrtle Beach, May 20-22nd.
Thought this said xcom cosplay contest and got really excited

Same, been thinking of putting together a Grenadier outfit.
Might be a stupid question for anyone, but do people often show up at anime cons dressed in non-anime cosplay? Closest con place to me is a less hick part of a hick state, and I've never been to one.
>Myrtle Beach
Hard pass.
Ok, for a while now Ive been trying to figure out how to make Nero's devil arm, to make it fit onto my arm and be relatively flexible, at least able to move the hand. Ive watched some vids and read some tutorials but a lot seem quite vague. Also since this would be my first time ever making a prop, I would be interested to know on how to add the LED's, or at least where to hold the battery pack, maybe in the sleeve of the devil arm?
do they not have catalogs or help threads where you come from, OP?

Really my first time ever using this board, I came on here a few times, sorry anon.

serious question for a newfag, did we get linked somewhere recently? I mean we always get these threads and it's nbd but the sheer quantity of aggressive noobs recently has been killing my vibe
Thoughts on the start of my new redhood cosplay? The bronze will be painted black.
fuck me sideways
ayy lmao

Are you wearing black sweatpants?
Other than that sign me the fuck up
TLDR: Post your spare fabric and what nots and tell people what they can make out of theirs!
Ever have a pile of fabric and don't know what to do with it? Our local joanns closed which is sad, but meant I got $600 worth of supplies for $50 and I couldn't pass that up, but looking at what I managed to get (It was all that was left when I got there.), I'm not positive what I can do with it. I don't want to go the Jessica Nigri scrap fabric gijinka approach, so I'm game for suggestions
My first thought with the white and pink was Guila from Nanatsu no Taizai. The anime seems to make a tiny tone differentiation between her shrug and her bodysuit (I never noticed until now, it doesn't show in a lot of pics,) but the manga doesn't so you could get away with all white.

Cosplay isn't as versatile as making quilts or table runners, unfortunately, since you'd have to take into account the hand and drape of the fabric on top of matching colors. It's very hard make suggestions since a lot of outfits are very specific in color, details, and appearance, unless you managed to get something as basic as white/black bottomweights/suitings.
I refrained from buying more than 3 bolts of fabric when my local JoAnn store liquidated (and moved into a newer, bigger location), and those bolts are still sitting around 7 years later.

Make Lottie's ballgown from Princess and the Frog. I have no idea what you could do with the rest of the fabric except maybe underskirts or something.
Anyone prefer one over the other? How many lolitas actually wear a crinoline? Or is it reserved to accurate historical costumes instead?
I wish more people who used crinolines understood that you still have to put pettis over them or you get lines in your dress. You can almost always tell who's using crinolines because they think it's a petti replacement.
They are usually called "cage skirt" these days, you see them with ero a lot.
I was thinking of trying a crinoline so I wouldn't have to worry about my pettis deflating anymore. Sitting sounds like a major pain in the ass though.
Any seagulls checking out the new con up in the Niagara Falls area called Fan World? Looks like they announced Beethy on their Facebook page today.
Never heard of the con but everyone knows beethy. They paying his way?
Okay this seems like a standard mummy costume. Should be easy, but I need something that won't unravel within 15 minutes. Anyone got any ideas on how a costume for this guy would be worn?
Oh! I have a good idea. Go to the help thread.
I was feeling nostalgic, and was remembering the 'live action anime girl' Apollo smile. She comes up sometime when cosplay is mentioned, especially when talking about current cosplayers like JNig. Out of curiosity, did she ever actually cosplay as anything other than her alternate persona? Random fact, she turns 49 on February 16th... which makes me feel old, as her introducing some anime on Sci-fi helped get me into anime a really long time ago.
I remember her doing some lolita shit before she started hosting but that's it. I still have two of her CDs
I didn't start congoing until about 2008 so I really had never heard of her till now. She seems like the original cute blonde babe except with real skill. Honestly she's cute af and I'm sad I missed all this.
I don't think Apollo Smile was ever a cosplayer. She was just a "living anime girl" who tried to turn being a weeb into a performing art.
I am searching for a Military/Marine type Lolita to make a better choice please send all you got in the following schema.

>link name
>(optional) cost

Soooo...next week.
Who's going? Is there anything worth going to? Any cool stands for lolita stuff? Or just weaboo trash shit?
>>8839574
I remember Lunieshop from the lolita Lunie being there in 2014. She was cute but you just feel she's kinda.."stuck up" in a way? But if i was spoiled by my parents and had a easymode life i would probably be kinda stuck up too.
but in general the convention isn't really worth it, besides seeing friends.
It's shit. Don't go.
i can't remember there being any dangan ronpa threads in a while, and since there's a new game and anime on the way i thought it'd be reasonable to make one.
so, does anyone have any plans? or, any cosplays you're currently working on? i'm almost done with a mahiru, and hoping to do some other stuff later this year too
>>8839495
How spooky is this? First, I was wondering "I wonder if the DR generals are gonna come back alive" about an hour ago. Then I started replaying SDR2 while in the bus today.
>>8839500
you're too powerful, anon. you need to stop before you indirectly bring something even worse back
>>8839495
2013 had a lot of DR cosplays. Nowadays almost anybody cosplay it.
[Until new game]
Anyone know any good metalworkers who make full-head masks?
Use the help thread.
considering buying or making a sentai mask for display purposes, anyone on here ever done this themselves? any tips?
Pepakura
'Nuff said
How about those that dont have pepakura?
Usually these are done by sculpting the whole thing, making a mold then a slush cast. Google it there's videos
Anyone got one of these? I know 99% of you are poorcucks, but still, looks like it'd be a good coat anyways.
So I ran GIS. Are you talking about the one on Sky-seller? Because they're pretty notorious for stealing cosplay photos to use on product pages. That's an instant red flag for me.

Nahhh
