Let's see the results of your hard work, gulls! Cosplays and coords welcome.
you first, baka
>>8703117
we have a few selfpost threads up (progress, draw, Halloween). maybe give it a while, gulls are shy.
Oh fuck it, I'll try and give this thread legs seeing as I always end up posting in these any way. The costume is from a couple of years back but I only just had good photos of it taken.
>>8703825
How did you do the bands? This is one of the best Hisoka cosplays I've ever seen.
>>8703825
It looks like the arm bands on top are too tight and stopped a lot of blood flow from your arms. I'm sure the editing made it more visible but now they look all purple and dying.
>>8703862
They look like they are tubes made out of fabric and stuffed inside.
>>8703117
Ehh why the fuck not. So the blade is being remade and the handle attaches onto my back(can be interchanged with the gun) Also my nose is runny and the makeup wore off by the end of the night.
>>8703876
Bloodborne?
This is my first non-bodyline coord! The dress is from miss point and the accessories are from Haruhi clover.
>>8704167
Nice job, I really like your wig!
>>8704167
You look great!
I'm gonna clean my room on my next day off I swear
My alpaca matches me! Sorry for potato quality.
>>8703825
Whoa. You look really good, I lik the atmosphere you are creating!
>>8703876
Nice! I also really like the angle of the photo
>>8704167 You look totally adorable, good job
>>8704182
I like it, but I think you should have more poof. You seem quite top heavy, so having more poof would kind of balance it out and be more flattering. Also, is that a skeleton hand hairpin? Because no, that does not fit into the coord at all. The outfit looks classic, you should maybe try a pearl hairpin or something instead. It's decent otherwise, I like your makeup.
Here's my Marie cosplay from a couple of weeks ago. I never managed to finish the hair bow but I'm chuffed with how it turned out. Need some better photos, all I have are selfies so far x_x
>>8704201
Very cute, but your foundation looks way too dark for you. Find a lighter match with your neck.
>>8704213
Yeah, I rarely ever wear foundation, usually when I do it's not so obvious as I never have my chest out, but I buy the palest shade I can get at the moment as it is. I need to find a brand that does lighter colours, I don't like buying makeup online though :/
>>8704221
As a sister in pallor, I highly recommend Urban Decay's Naked foundation in 0.5.
>>8704277
Ooh thanks, I didn't realise they did foundation! I use the naked matte pallet and their primer, that crazy big eyeliner lasted over 14 hours without a smudge
I'd like some real concrit on this Halloween coord. Closet of Frills was lovely to me but I do like getting non-asspats.
>>8704515
This.. does not look good.
Your bangs are too thin, and your headdress really emphasises that. Your jewelry and belt all seem awfully cluttered, as well as the black on black for your blouse and wristcuffs.
>>8704196
Yeah I need a petti for it, the one I have is too long and only fits under other dresses.
The skeleton hairclips were from halloween whoops.
Recent picture of when I got my first main pieces for my ouji coord. Still need to go about and get accessories and other things.
>>8704582
anon, you are really cute! That wig cut really suits your face.
>>8704610
Thank you very much! Since it's actually my Gokotai wig tousled a bit, I might get another one to style for the coord since I like the color and style with it!
>>8704582
You're adorable
>tfw no qt ouji gf
This is my first coord, was meant for Halloween but happened late due to mail problems. I know that my blues in my dress and hat are slightly off, i had to make the hat long before i got thr dress in. Should i remake it in white maybe to not have to worry about matching? And I'm currently shopping for better OTKs /legwear as well as a bag and more jewelry. But would like to know if I'm on the right track.
>>8704582
Holy shit that's cute.
I would probably kidnap you if I saw you on the street.
>>8704182
Try a white bow or some type of headband on your head. Like other anon said it's too heavy on one half
boots and gems didn't come in time for the cosplay, but still happy with how it came out!
>>8703876
I'm assuming this is just a quick Halloween costume and that you're Gascoigne. Needs some more accurate everything.
>>8704201
I hope I'm not the only one who thinks everyone cosplaying these girls never looks good and always looks downsy & kinda gross trying to imitate them. But I mean, in regards to that, you look just like her.
>>8704688
Nigga that's Gehrman
>>8704527
Yeah I need a trim. The "belt" is the waistband of the skirt so there isn't much I can do about that. I'll probably leave out the time turner next time and make some matching beaded jewelry for the wrists to balance out the colors. Do you think I should change shoes too? I could relace the boots with a color from the skirt or I could change to mary jane heels and put matching shoe clips on. I also feel like the area in front of the veil is a little plain, like it needs a pretty bejeweled headband. I like the hoop earrings for the theme, but if it isn't Halloween I'll probably wear studs with this instead. Thanks for the honesty! I really do appreciate it.
I'm kindof proud of this coord. Concrit is greatly appreciated!
>>8704201
Its cute, but I really wish everyone would stop making the hats so small. The hats are huge.
>>8704720
I'd invest in some clip in bangs or a full wig, no ones hair always looks perfect. Maybe try to add some detail to the actual veil attachment band like pic related.
My personal rule for pulling an outfit together is to not having two colors on each other (ie: purple skirt, black tights, so purple shoes makes it not all blend together) and accessories should be in the detail of the print. I can't see it very well but it looks like there's gold and white, which you pulled gold in with your jewelry, maybe change the shoes and wrist cuffs to match that?
>>8704728
Wow i love the tights here, super cute. The only thing I can think to change is maybe to like a light brown shoe instead of gold? But even then it looks like the gold is really complementary to the light brown. Overall you are adorable and I really love this coord.
>>8704728
This is really cute, anon. I think maybe a few more hits of gold would help balance it out, maybe something in addition to your headbow.
>>8704741
Yes this must have been what my eyes are picking up. The gold accents are adorable and maybe just one more obvious one would really tie the shoes in.
So this wasn't a huge undertaking because it was just last minute for Halloween..but my boyfriend and I made these.
Eva foam masks and arm guards. These are movie version Sub Zero and Scorpion.
>>8704651
I think so. Im kind of iffy on the lace placement on the dress but that could be mostly personal taste. White with blue accents for the hat would be really cute. And like you said more extravagant leg wear since the dress is so plain. Maybe white tights that are sheer with some type of cute opaque design that matches the theme you're going with. I'd lose the wrist cuffs and throw in some cute silver accessories all throughout the coord for some oomf, maybe a silver star bag, as well as silver or blue shoes instead of black since it looks so stark against the dress and legwear. Also if you're going with your real hair adding some type of accessory at the bottom of your braids over the tie would look nice too. You're super cute and obviously on the right track, that's just what I personally would do.
>>8704752
Awesome advice. I agree about the lace placement in the dress, I love it off me but on me it looks a little funny. I'm ordering silver bracelets and a silver Star bag already so glad you agree! And yeah the shoes are a dark blue, I'm on the look out for something better but the dress is such a hard shade to match and jm kind of iffy about all the silver shoes I've seen. I love the idea for braids too.
>>8704755
Yah i think if you placed things right with accessories and your blouse it's most definitely workable, I hate when that happens! Well I see you didn't even need my advice then haha! That's true, silver shoes can be so hit or miss. Maybe white shoes with some type of handmade blue accessory? Like a blue bow or star slip that would match the color of the dress to balance the bottom? I think there are a couple tutorials of girls that have made shoe clips to bring another color into their coord when matching the shoes proves to be too difficult
>>8704736
Gold shoes sounds like a great idea. I'll probably make a matching headband and maybe make some black feather wrist cuffs with some navy/purple jewel details since there's a raven on the print.
>>8704728
I love the Emily Temple Cute vibes in this photo!
>>8704728
>Oingo Boingo
I like your outfit and that poster is the icing on the cake.
sorry for terrible "at school shaky friend cellphone photo" but here it is finished! I was in a bit of a time crunch to get it done and so I have to definitely adjust the hip plates + arm guards and complete the boot covers, but I'm pretty happy with it overall.
One of my last cosplays (hope do to a photoset soon).
This is the second time i do her cosplay, mostly because the first time it turned out awful, I had chosen bad fabrics for the dungaress, and the result was a complete mess, this time I think the cosplay turned out more clean and similar to the original design. Still need to get some good gloves, because I sucks at sewing them.
>>8704728
I hate the tights on this.
I had a great time cosplaying Giorno at AWA! There's a few things I'd like to improve, but overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
>>8704728
I'm loving the tights here! good job
>>8704728
I could take or leave your tights. Indifferent.
>>8704708
kek I'm retarded
>>8705193
No spear?!
>>8704728
I'd take off your tights
>>8706015
I wore this to school and decided it wasn't a good idea to bring a 6ft (scaled down to con requirements) spear. I'm going to make it though
Had help with the robe and wig work. As I don't cosplay at all, people wanted an uncle iroh
I need to work out more and acquire better glasses.
>>8704728
the tights remind me of some candy wrapping paper and I think they fit the coord!
>>8706264
Love it!
Unfinished as shit. Still had a fun time wearing it.
>>8704651
I also think the outfit needs more silver but it is so cute and I adore the OTK look, but if you could find something more detailed I think that would be better.
Do you like old school coords or is the black shoe and OTK socks just a coincidence because it's a super old school look. Cause if you're not looking for the older school look I'd also recommend blue shoes.
I personally adore old school so this isn't a criticism just a thought. Keep the black shoes if that's what you're going for.
>>8706492
>work out more
more like start doing heroin and go on a water diet. didn't think i'd see another spider though, niceee!
here's some badly-shopped closet shit
>>8706991
jesus. is the .flow fandom alive? style your wig.
>>8707080
thank christ no it's dead
yeah though; i'd lost my curling iron right before the shoot hahhhh
there are a LOT of other problems and i haven't really cared enough about cosplay until recently to fix them even though i was on it before the fandom thing
since i kind of want to upgrade to rust i really need to start getting good at a lot of shit. oh boy
>>8706264
>Hot damn an Iroh!
>expand image
>printed quilting cotton everywhere
I thought we as a society had moved beyond that stage in ATLA cosplays, but that wig and beard are fucking baller dude.
>>8706842
The eyes need a bit more work in my opinion but this is a good eris cosplay!
>>8707243
I was rushed off my ass and I've never used LEDs. But the eyes are going to be fixed first.
And thank you!
>>8704728
I can see where you're coming from with the golden pumps, but they look kinda odd in this coord to me. I think a pair of boots in the same shade as your bag with gold laces or dark brown mary janes would look stellar, though.
Saying that, I'm biased towards boots and your coord looks great to me with the golden pumps. The tights are adorable.
>>8704674
That's so adorable! Where's the character from?
>>8707156
nice. keep at it.
i cosplayed sabitsuki with a friend as smile.
>>8704728
lol are you coconut head from ned's declassified?
Solaire of Astora, Dark Souls
I want to redo the helmet, and I still need to make a con-friendly sword/scabbard if I want to take it to more cons then the now defunct Escapist Expo.
>>8704515
this looks terrible
>>8707665
Which is why I was asking for some non-asspats. I knew it was off and it wasn't quite where I wanted it to be which was why I posted it to CoF in the first place. Would you mind specifically telling me what to change rather than just tell me what I already know?

I do like old school cords and I've been thinking about doing a new coord with this dress more specifically old school styled..this one wasn't supposed to be though! The shoes are actually a dark blue. If you have an recs of shoes that are a brighter/lighter/paler? blue without being sax that would be great because I'm really stumped on where to find them.
Thanks for the advice!
>>8707193
Wasn't my choice of material but friend of mine wanted to do something other then plain. Again I don't cosplay nor do I intend to pursue it as a hobby. Surprisingly when I googled iroh cosplayers there's not many at all
>>8707578
sunbro
>>8704126

>>8704194
Thanks buddy, I'm redoing the blade as some weeb broke the tip off the scythe and the jacket is getting redone.
>>8705989

I love your Oscar.
Did you do the fluting yourself?
If so, are you the guy in the progress thread posting steelworking pictures?
Also featuring Dusk of Oolacile, Dark Souls
>>8707578
>>8707953
Really well done.
>>8707953
>If so, are you the guy in the progress thread posting steelworking pictures?
Yes.
>Did you do the fluting yourself?
Yes. Fluting is very easy once you have the tools and understand the process. The hardest part is just keeping consistent spacing and force.
We just got done with the edits to our first Undertale photoset and I'm really happy with this picture in particular.
Awesome. I actually saved all of your progress pictures for some reason. I've done some metalwork in the past, but not as part of an armor project (not counting the 30 Ga sheet steel on this for obvious reasons). It was mostly fabrication with thicker metal (aluminum and some steel).
I plan to do a Giantdad and an Oscar before I'm done cosplaying from Dark Souls. (And the lady in the picture wants to at least do Big Hat Logan) I'm not too quick with these, so it should take a sufficiently long time to get some more practice in.
I just bought a new house, and I haven't finished setting up my workshop yet. As someone more experienced in this kind of metalwork than me, do you have any tips for outfitting my work space?
>>8704674
Omg I love that you did this version of Sophie you need to give me your fan page
>>8708019
>do you have any tips for outfitting my work space?
The big tools I use are a pedestal grinder for cleaning up armor edges and shaping hammers / chisels, a drill press of making rivet holes, and a CNC plasma cutter for cutting out plates (but some combination of jigsaw / beverly shear / corner notcher / files / bandsaw / jump shear will also work).
Other than that, everything else is armorsmithing hammers and forms. You can make your own hammers by grinding down store bought ones to shape. Most of the forms are converted from other things like trailer ball hitches, masonry chisels, and random chunks of metal.
I cold worked the armor so there is no forge. Unfortunately, the helmet cannot be made from a single sheet of metal through cold working so a welder was used to join two halves.
>>8703117
>>8708058
Your facial expression is hilarious for some reason.
>>8708046
I'm actually set for most of those tools. You must be or work for a professional to have access to a CNC plasma cutter. I don't know any hobbyists with equipment that expensive lying around. I'm thinking of doing most (all?) of the cutting with an angle grinder except for inside corners and details. How did you do those? Drill press and jigsaw?
I realize that I'll come up with the shapes that I'll need or want while working the metal, but when it's not an inconvenience, could you post pictures of the the hammers/forms you fabricated?
Finally figured out how to properly reply to a post.
I've run out of good pictures of that costume, so I'm moving on to pictures of my Master Chief Spartan 117, Halo: Combat Evolved
>>8708092
>How did you do those? Drill press and jigsaw?
Of course you just told me you used a CNC plasma cutter. Apologies; I'm distracted.

I can post them tomorrow or the day after. There's also this wiki I've been trying to document everything, but it's going slow.

>>8708185
Holy shit, this is awesome, anon.
>>8704728
Ditch the tights. Though they are cute, they distort the shape of your legs and the uneven swirls make the coord look frumpy. Maybe brown tights with gold accents would be better, dunno.
Get matching brown mary janes or delicate ankle boots.
Just got these Sybil photos back and I'm super happy with them. That satin wrinkled so quickly in the humidity/crowded con hall, though.

No one cares about your face. Post a picture of your actual cosplay.
I posted before & you guys gave me some help, I fixed some stuff so I hope it's okay to post the same cosplay again. There's still some stuff left but I think the skirt is improved at least.
>>8708548
This looks really good, wow. Especially the clean line on the top.
>>8707991
Are you happy with the shirt being the wrong color?

>concrit appreciated
>>8704582
with legwear, this could look great as-is. but if you add a hat, some jewelry, and a kickass bag, you are going to look perfect.
what color are your glasses? if you cannot find a gold pair as suggested in i think /ouG/ you could try to work the color of your frames into the coord with a corsage, feather/ribbon, etc.
>>8711027
Nice trigger discipline.
>>8711034
Thank you! Really happy with how it turns out.
>>8711089
Haha thanks! It's actually quite thick in real life but I think the photos eat them up quite a bit, will draw them even thicker next time.
>>8711256
Thank you so much! Do give it a try if possible, it's such a fun prop to make.

What contact lenses are you wearing and how dark are your eyes? I'm looking for a violet pair that bright.

>>8715669
I haven't modified anything: it won a best-of-weekend award, so I figured it was pretty okay. Eventually I want to embellish the discharged designs on the shoulder with embroidery.
>>8715669
Not a fan of the hat, it's too femme to mesh with the other clothing items. Like you could do a birdcage veil on a more masculine style like a tophat, or no veil on (what seems to be) a woman's hat, but it's too much together.
Can you sew at all? I think your jacket could use some extra interfacing in the lapels, something soft like a layer of felt or canvas. Also maybe switch out the buttons? It looks like you go for silver jewelry, so silver or black buttons would look better than brass.
Eh screw it, I'll post it here too. Just finished knitting my Frisk sweater and I'm really happy with how it came out. Second sweater I've ever knit and the first pattern I've completely altered, so yeah I'm pretty happy.
>>8716301

>>8713452
I'm plenty cute but this cosplayer is far too "famous" to dare come to CGL chill lol

I don't know what you're cosplaying, but you're cute and it looks good. Where did you get your thigh highs?

I made them from some brown stretch fabric I had left over and I dyed pantyhose brown and then sewed them together lol. I ripped them the day of the con which is why they have a line up them.
Trying newer things to work as bandages for the face. The stuff I use for my arms and legs doesn't work nearly as well for the facemask.
>>8722052
I've seen you post this like atleast 3 times now. Please stop, it really isn't a good cosplay
I usually don't have a problem with people cosplaying outside of their body type, but it just looks so ugly since singed is so skinny and you're short and chubby. The shorts look super cheap, and the wig looks like crap.
Also, the bandages look really bad. Maybe instead of doing real bandages you could just do a zentai suit and make it look like bandages my painting it, because now you can barely tell that it's actually bandages and it just looks sloppy
Here are we on the first ever big Serbian cosplay event Beokon held last weekend.

Oh my goodness, I'm planning to do a Medicine Seller cosplay for Katsucon.
The kimono part looks really good. Did you sew it yourself? and if so how did you do the decorations on the sleeves?
>>8708815
Your prop is amazing but your costume just needs some...small fixes. I can't think of the right word for what I'm trying to describe, but you need to go through and do things like clean up loose threads, and remember to press seams. I think your bodice/boob area would look a lot crisper if you had done that when making the stripes.
This is an awesome improvement though, you make a stunning Red. Your makeup is just beautiful.
