Anyone working on anything during the hiatus?
See any SU cosplayers on Halloween or at any recent cons?
i like this rose wig's size and style, but i have no idea why its different colors
awaiting cute tiny peridots but afraid theyll see it as an excuse to be lazy
Ah nice, that feminist show
Currently working on Peridot; in a way I can be both versions on the day.
I'm also buying my friend her Jasper cosplay supplies for Christmas so she doesn't stress about the cost of the wig and sorts. Only problem is I'm stumped on the colour of the wig. I'm going Arda since they do the long wig (she's a stiffler for accuracy and she's really tall so the Delilah is the perfect length) but I'm wondering if I should get the White/silver and dip dye it to get that pink tinge? Or get the wigs as the colour?
Anyone have any advice? I've also looked at lightest of light blonde. White on its own just doesn't look right to me.
I threw together a Rainbow Quartz for halloween but I liked it so much that I might also bring her to a convention.
What, besides the wig, could I change to make my outfit stand out? I went with purple sparkle mesh instead of iridescent organza over fear of wrinkles. Should I keep it, switch to white mesh, or look harder for quality organza?
My makeup was posted before >>8692217 and I'd appreciate honest feedback on that too.
>>8696578
I'd dye it, none of the existing shades look orange enough. Maybe just a quick dunk in tangerine Rit.
>>8696576
Nah, full SJW show. Fanbase recently drove some artist to attempt suicide, everyone kinda shrugged till it was confirmed to be an actual attempted suicide.
>>8696595
Nah, tumblr dicks made some artist try to kill herself. Pretty distinct from the community here
>>8696604
Yeah honestly every other part of the fandom has been great from what I've seen, its always fucking Tumblr that ruins it for everyone. Especially odd because SU has such strong themes of love and acceptance, yet a few people miss the fucking point.
>>8696591
i like your poncho thing. maybe go for light blue instead, but it looks cool as is, and the rest of the outfit looks nice too. your wig looks great color and lace front wise, but i would tease it more to add more volume. makeup wise, i would say dont be afraid to use more- rainbow quartz is super over the top and colorful, so using a lot of makeup isnt out of place. your face would look great with some feminine contouring (pic related) to soften your features and make them look better on camera. use eyeliner, mascara, false lashes, and contacts to add extra oomph to your eyes- adding falsies to the second set of eyes also helps them look more real. the false eyes look cool though- are they prosthetic? id rotate them a bit so that the outer corners aren't so downturned. other than some makeup stuff, it looks good!
i remember someone complaining about pearl cosplayers wearing false lashes since she doesn't seem to have a lot of makeup on, but this blows all those complaints out of the water
>>8696639
im getting the feeling that something bad happened with her paint and she had to use a bad backup- her middle part is a completely different color. either that, or she just cannot even remotely color match
Still working on Peridot/Tinydot. It's almost done but I'll redo the tube fingers for a better fit. Debut is in about one month.
The boots bother me and will be redone completely after the con.
>>8696621
the front curls could be cleaner but I love this wig
>>8695066
>>8696530
she's not first or best. hanari got first a while ago and looks much cleaner. miwa's stuff always looks rushed and loose.
>>8696638
those eyebrows are disgusting what the fuck are you on
>>8696756
hanaris is cleaner but miwa looks cuter. they should fuse.
>>8696638
this looks like someone got lost in the mountains and froze to death wtf anon
>>8696638
Nah you're proving their point by this very picture.
>>8696638
Reminds me of this one. I only have the version I pointed out all the photoshop on though.
>>8696798
neither of their faces look cute, Hanari's clean construction should fuse with someone better
>>8696807
hamsterparade already is pretty perfect on their own imo
>>8696638
nice selfpost anon, too bad it looks like total shit
Anyone know of a good tutorial for Rose's Sword? My gf and I are planning to do genderswap Steven and Connie for Ohayocon. Her outfit is pretty easy, and we have materials for the cheeseburger backpack on the way, but apart from wearing a mint green shirt and round glasses, I need Rose's Sword to get across the fact that I'm Connie. Any other tips would be appreciated too. We aren't brand new to cosplay, but obviously not super experienced either.
>>8697070
Well then yes I completely agree with you.
When I did Pearl I had mascara, eye liner coated over with pearly coloured eyeshadow and a bit of nude lippy and it seemed pretty okay for Pearl.
I get she's supposed to be pretty and flashy but you can (and they have) gone overboard. Rose, Jasper and Amethyst I feel can easily pull off false lashes but the rest can be toned down and still look good.
>>8696536
>>8697320
nah, most of the 'sjws'(lol) are pretty pissed off about people being assholes in fandom. most didn't even know zamii before this.
>had full Amethyst costume
>spent a week crafting an accurate whip
>got wig, styled, designed costume
>bodypaint makes my sensitive skin break out into horrible, painful rash and I throw the entire costume in the garbage and stop liking Steven Universe anyways
Haven't even tried to cosplay since then. Obviously should have tested it in a small spot before it got that bad but dang anyone else have this happen to them? Big downer
>>8697414
why wouldn't you sell the costume if it was as good as you make it sound? might as well try to make some of the money back instead of just tossing it. and what paint did you use? my skin is pretty sensitive but stuff like snazaroo is hypoallergenic
>watching western cartoons
Please don't do this.
>>8697432
what board are you on
what website are you on
>>8696813
hamsterparade's face looks weird to me. maybe its just the complete lack of contour.
>>8697579
yeah, she said she were going to try to use more makeup next time she wore peridot, but i agree that contour would help a lot, as well as some eye makeup
>>8696801
Oh my god please into reading comprehension, anon.
>>8697427
This. You could have tried a few different body paints. Snazaroo is meant for literal children, so it's pretty gentle.
>>8696614
I'm not saying she didn't get bullied and that shit like death threats are acceptable, but a lot of it was fair criticism of the art.
>>8697579
so is there ANY peridot whos face cgl likes?
>>8697660
obviously not ever face is going to appeal to everyone, it's pretty silly to think all of /cgl/ is going to agree on one face. i think they all have some virtues. genk has a pretty good peridot face in my opinion, but i know other people don't like her and prefer hanari/miwa/hamsterparade based on what they think peridot would look like irl
>>8697679
>genk
literally who
>>8697743
this peridot >>8695643
I'm hoping I can throw together Cookie Cat for ALA, and I wanted to do something a little more inspired by Buzz Lightyear. I'm just having trouble figuring out that slidey dome thing he has on. Does anyone have a tutorial to make something like that? Or if something exists that on its own that looks and functions like that? I'm drawing blanks all over the place about what it could be.
>>8697789
Maybe if you're able to pick up one of those giant acrylic ball/domes they use for lamps, and have a careful method to cut it into quarters... you might have something. Otherwise if you're okay with it not being transparent, paper mache a yoga ball or something a bit smaller that suits the fit of the look.
>>8697804
This might not help at all but in my country Lindt, the chocolatiers, bring out these massive balls of sweets at Christmas, and the actual ball is made of plastic, in two halves, that might be big enough. They might not be, I can't remember the size. But one half or the whole thing might be enough to make a semi-sliding dome, even if it doesn't fit over your head. http://www.lindt.co.uk/shop/our-brands/lindor/lindor-xl-maxi-ball-milk-550g
>>8696536
My friends and I have decided to go as skinny Rose, white Garnet, skinny white Amethyst, and fat black Pearl.
We're gonna see how many SJWs we can trigger. And show the world that not all the fandom is full of morally self-righteous bullies.
>>8697826
people like you annoy me more than the actual annoying SJWs holy shit. you're not even cosplaying them because you like the characters, youre cosplaying them out of spite to piss people off, which probably won't even happen. i'm medium sized and i cosplay rose because i love her, and ive gotten only two piddly complaints on tumblr. your group is probably going to look awful as you run around trying to **trigger** people instead of actually, you know, enjoying a con and cosplaying?
>>8697826
Who the fuck has time for this? You're seriously going to do this instead of just enjoying the con?
>plz film the sjw butthurt though
>>8697837
If I didn't love the show, I wouldn't care so much about the crazy end of fandom giving the rest of us a bad name.
>>8697845
i love the show too, and worry that someone will think im some crazy SJW, but i wouldn't coordinate a whole group with people cosplaying characters they dont look like just to hopefully get some kind of reaction. and if you're so tired of SJWs whining, why are you trying so hard to get them to make more of a fuss about your ill-suited cosplays? it's best to actually just make good cosplays and behave decently at cons- that's going to make people think better of the fandom, not seeing a fat black pearl and a thin rose.
>>8697858
>why are you trying so hard to get them to make more of a fuss about your ill-suited cosplays?
Cause ignoring them hasn't made them go away, it's only empowered them. So let's do what we do best, and mock them.
Besides, it's not like we'll be wearing blackface. Or whiteface. It'll be edge enough that if they do explode again, it'll look as insane to normies and neurotypicals as their attacks on zamii did.
We just need to find someone with a really really small nose to cosplay Connie. (Finding a skinny Steven should be easy.)
>>8697826
Saying this as a gull, you really, seriously, need to get a life. There has got to be something better you could be doing, or else I feel really, really sorry for you.
>>8697893
Yeah, you're right, I could be posting on /cgl/ instead of working on my costume right now.
>>8697755
nosedot
>>8697887
you really want attention, huh? there have been so many skinny amethysts, thin roses, white garnets, etc. etc. that didn't get backlash because there was nothing really inflammatory about your costume. you're nothing new, except most of those ones at least were cosplaying because they loved the characters. and for christ's sake, my original question still stands. if you don't want to look like you're part of a crazy fandom, why are you kicking the hornet's nest and trying to stir up more and more drama? the best thing to do is ignore it and go about your cosplays for fun. eventually something new will come along that will take the bad fans elsewhere and you can enjoy su in peace.
>>8697899
>says the person posting on /cgl/ specifically to stir up shit
>>8697906
>go about your cosplays for fun.
It is fun! If no one gets angry and no one notices, then we have a fun day in costume for a show we've been planning to cosplay anyway. If some cool people get the joke or some assholes get triggered, even better.
If there's no backlash, we still win.
>>8697911
...I'm here forever, aren't I.
>>8697925
please. stop posting. you're not unique or clever, it's so cringey when people post on various boards that 'omggg im going to trigger the SJWs!! they're going to be so angry that im doing this very mundane thing!' they never get the reaction they were looking for from SJWs and the rest of 4chan doesn't give a shit

I really like this group, are there better shots of them?
>>8698007
This is my favorite silhouette so far. Way better than >>8697993. Her dress shouldn't be nearly that big!
>>8697970
What is with all these Garnets with no puff sleeves?
>>8697938
Excellent wig. It looks so fluffy!
>>8697789
The visor might be lozenge shapes of acrylic that are only curved one way and therefore only give the illusion of conforming to a sphere, if that makes sense.
>>8697385
Did she pay money for that suit?
>>8698108
It's a shame the Rose didn't make the sides of her wig larger... it looks sort of like a rectangle right now. I LOVE that Pearl though.
Self posting, I did a quickly thrown together amethyst for halloween, i really want to do her properly for a con in the future
>>8698192
great face paint color and consistency! you've got a cute face for amethyst
>>8698192
You avoided my number one pet peeve with Amethysts, the gem placement. So many cosplayers seem to stick it way up on the sternum when it's actually nestled right where her cleavage is.
>>8698192
You really should - you've got a great face for her, and your wig/paint is already looking good. Maybe try tinting the wig a tiny bit more purple and you'll be golden.
>>8697826
Wow, that's fucking stupid. You're just as bad as the SJWs, if not worse.
>>8697945
this is me, thank u ;w;
>>8698076
Ew she needs to shave her fucking arms.
>>8697679
>genk
I guess that'd be me haha. Thanks a lot. I'm a bit insecure about my face as Peri but eh - I'll still have fun.
>>8697826
fucking edgy breh
THE ARMS. THE GOOGLY EYE.
>>8698095
Saw her at Youma, she was super cute! The cut out was neat, too.
to whoever was unsure about peridots visor being on her visor since it's not skin, we have seen alexandrite has gems on her gloves. so that might not be a design rule.
>>8698097
I like the design and the construction!
>>8699242
>construction
That dress is clearly out of someone's closet.
>>8699050
she actually makes a good sugillite. not great, but i feel like with a few changes (wig styling, better arms, better eyes, shoes) she would look really god since she has the body for it and her clothes seem good
>>8699229
I think with Alexandrite and Peridot's gems that it isn't that the gems are placed on the clothes but that they're cutting through them. Like, there's a gem shaped hole in the visor/gloves.
>>8699337
this is my theory too, though it still doesn't make sense that peridot wouldn't conceal hers behind her visor for extra protection.
>>8697385
>>8697394
I keep seeing this piece of shit cosplay everywhere I go, why do people keep praising it?
The body suit isn't even accurate
>no puff sleeves
>star 2 fucking huge
>lol at those heels
>leg split doesnt sit right on her body
>entire bodysuit is obviously ill fitted and terribly made
BUT OMGZ A POC GARNET
>>8699473
re protection: i'm not sure gems are capable of covering their gems with clothing. pearl was on a battlefield and didn't put a helmet or protective armour on despite her knight fetish and fragile form
>>8699475
Probably because she's attractive
>>8699475
I'm pretty sure she's a popular tumblr user so that plays a part
>>8699475
To be fair her costume was just for Halloween, it's not bad for Halloween. Everyone on tumblr is just shitting themselves over it because she's really popular there anyway. It's not because she's POC, it's because she's one of the POC they worship anyway to ease their white guilt.
>>8699475
>I keep seeing this piece of shit cosplay everywhere I go, why do people keep praising it?
Because she's really pretty. Happens in cosplay all the time.
>>8697938
i never really like stuff like this, putting characters in normal person oufits. it's almost never done well.
>>8699924
Peridot is certainly not punk rock enough for an outfit that cool.
This one is more in character at least.
>>8698046
i find it hard to believe someone saw this and immediately assumed they were talking about the show for no reason
like unless it was tagged with steven universe, there's no possible reason for someone's mind to jump right to "they are talking about jasper the character"
>>8699963
especially since jasper doesnt have a lot of dialogue and never makes any nonspeaking sounds. maybe they planned it with their friend or something
>>8696638
I don't think you guys understood what she meant.
>>8697976
This family apparently won the contest, well deserved they're really cute.
>>8699475
she already has thousands of followers because she's pretty but the brownie points are probably there too.
>>8700158
From the thumbnail this looks like the fattest peridot in the world
>>8700158
thats so terrifying- plus, the foot looks like it belongs to a 10 foot tall peridot
tremble
>>8700191
this makes me feel like puking oh my god.. the huge sweaty pits and the blotchy terrible paint
Love this Garnet
>>8700267
oh man, she did a great job. i've got no complaints, she's great! good face paint color, too.
>>8700438
Well that's terrifying.
Although the temple door really should be sitting much lower, like between her hips on the front.
>>8700438
I actually like this, but I hope she plans on coloring her arms for whatever con she's going to. She did a great job with the texture - the mask actually looks like sand or stone.
>>8700438
this is awesome
>>8700438
This cosplayer isn't rocky enough to cosplay the temple. Only sedimentary people should be allowed.
Granite, it is a good makeup job, but I've had it up to here with this schist, people slate-washing characters and taking away our geological representation.
>>8701205
A+ comment anon
>>8696536
so im a guy and im thinking of cosplaying sugilite or malachite (still deciding) but i figure i would need shape wear, but i know nothing about it. could someone point me to the right direction? like reccomendations, where i can find it etc.
>>8698106
I love the top here but that lace on the bottom is so bad. It looks like a cake.
has anyone done these yet?
>>8700158
100% perfect!
that bathroom is beautiful. im jealous
>>8702626
>perfect
perfect nightmare fuel yes
>>8702599
the peridot design is really cute- but i feel like the back would look really mullet-esque from certain angles, especially if it isnt done well
>>8702592
if she had spent about 2 more weeks on this, it would look amazing
all the lines look too rough, like she rushed through all the measuring and cutting o be first to cosplay.
people don't usually remember who was first to cosplay something but they do remember who was the best.
>>8702566
that's my favorite visor so far- not really anything else
>>8702647
I concur. That is a nice bathroom, though.
>>8703195
I like Jasper's hair.
So the girl who CBC created the Rose wig for is almost done with her costume. Thoughts?
>>8703288
i know the wig is pretty canon to size, but it looks so weird to me. i dont know if its the color, differences in curls, or what, but it makes her face and body look so small in comparison. the dress is pretty lackluster, not the worst i've seen, but not especially amazing either.
>>8703195
that rose's face it so adorable
>>8703288
that dress is shit
>>8703288
Better angle
>>8703511
why is her skin photoshopped pink? otherwise i agree with anon, the wig looks more balanced when its brushed back like how it is in canon. rose actually only has 2 tendrils that go over her shoulders, not half her hair
>>8698099
>the location of his gem
>>8703195
If Rose had a slightly tidier wig, she'd be my favourite so far.
>>8703511
This is just mean but I feel like she's not...pretty enough for Rose. Her face just isn't Rose enough. Maybe with nice, natural make-up she'd look better?
>>8703736
>sad flat wig
>sad flat dress
>ruffles
Ouch, anon, this is really your favorite?
>>8703511
I love this! It's the only wig I've seen so far with the right volume and curls.
>>8703738
i feel the same way- i know there's some anon who goes on and on about how ~*unadorned*~ rose's eyes are, but i feel like makeup and some natural false lashes are necessary. it's just so sad to see a huge dress and a huge pink wig surrounding a pretty plain face.
>>8703927
I don't think big makeup is always necessary but with a wig of that size yeah, it would help not drown her out. >>8703195 doesn't seem to be wearing much makeup either, but it works because her wig is much smaller. That being said the "not pretty enough to cosplay" comment is stupid IMO. People are going to dress up even if they don't have the prettiest features.
>>8703933
yeah >>8703195's wig does help with it, but she's also wearing some eyeshadow, has her brows filled in, is wearing eyeliner, etc. she would probably look worse if she wasn't. >>8703511 isnt ugly by any means, but just looks plain in a full, huge costume but wearing no/minimal makeup. her face would look normal in day to day life, but for cosplay it just needs to be stepped up
>>8703734
Anyone else kind of really annoyed how black cosplayers who cosplay Garnet don't paint their skin maroon yet we feel fine with calling people out on 'blackface'? I' black and this shit really annoys the hell out of me.
>>8704349
lol bait harder m8
>>8705252
does she have really short legs or something?
>>8704349
most pasty caucasian pearls dont wear paint either
>>8705265
No, it's just an unfortunate angle the picture was taken
>>8705543
got it. she's got a really cute face
>>8705252
she has a really cute body shape & face for rose, shame her wig and dress are so underwhelming.
>>8700267
Finallyyy some red paint on a Garnet. Pretty solid costume too.
>>8701205
>>8705879
am i the only one who wishes garnet looked a little more like sapphire and a little less like ruby? desu she looks like just a larger ruby.
also i feel like that one is a bit too red. you have to compensate for your actual skin color, so white people cosplaying garnet really do need to mix in a bit of brown with the red. this one is too bright red.
>>8706768
I'm fine with her doing bright red, especially if it would avoid another blackface fiasco. Ruby isn't even a bright red, she's kind of a pinky red.
>>8706800
idk, if you're talking about the girl i think you're talking about, her garnet was literally black skinned. not red, not even reddish brown, but straight up trying to match the skin of a real dark black person, and that particular cosplayer had done the same thing ni the past.
if your garnet is red, it's fine. but painting your white skin brown to cosplay a character that isn't even brown just seems like a realoly poor decision, almost like she was trying to stir controversy,.
>>8706863
Maybe I worded my reply wrong: I completely agree with that statement. Id rather see a bright red garnet than one who mixes in brown paint and looks like they're using black face
>>8706950
oh haha, my bad then.
i do see your point.maybe she could just layer it on thicker, and seal it better because it looks like its coming off on her neck.
>>8706768
i think the second garnet design was a bit better in that regard as it was more purple.
though someone once pointed out that amethyst was believable as a ruby/sapphire fusion to someone who had never seen the show and i can kinda see it
>>8699337

Eh, it's not a huge deal, but if you've seen the show it's pretty obvious how the swords are supposed to be held. Hell, if you've ever seen Pirates of the Caribbean, or anything else featuring sabers, it's pretty obvious. Just comes across as kind of moronic.

No, it isn't. It's not anything. Nobody gives a shit about your obsession with holding swords properly.

Like I said, so go tell them. I'm sure they'll care a whole lot.

Hell no, I'm here to look at/complain about cosplays, not track down people on tumblr to complain at them.

I really like that this Jasper has gone to the effort to keep the gem in a plausibly nose positioning. Even if it means trimming the bottom of the gem it looks better than the high or floating ones.
