Shoutout to armored Undyne edition.
Old thread >>8795103
What's everyone working on? How many Frisks will we see at every con this year? Going to a con soon? Dont forget to take pictures of Undertale cosplay and share it here! (so we can talk shit)
>>8804783
The armor don't look like Undyne's armor, but at least she did an effort
I'll going to work in this armor too, nobody did it, at least, a good one.
>>8804794
The pic you have is her genocide armor though. I think OPs pic looks reasonably like Undyne's normal armor. Its pretty difficult to translate a sprite into a cosplay, anyway.
I would love to see one of her genocide armor, though.
>>8804783
That frisk in the background looks adorable af. Also what is up with all the fatties? I get that the game panders to tumblr but jesus fuck.
>>8804835
That's just how cosplay is nowadays. You get the "cosplay whoever you want!" stuff and a lot of people interpret it as "I can wear whatever I want" without a care about how it fits or if maybe that one other character might be a tiny bit more suitable.
And well, Undertale is popular/soup du jour right now so of course you're going to get a lot of people cosplaying, which increases the chances of fat cosplayers as well.
As for what I'm working on, just finished making a totebag (messenger bag?) for my Alphys. Pretty content with it.
>>8804835
literally every fandom has fat people in it anon, where have you been
How would I go about making this? I don't think I want to do a suit. Would it look bad if I don't make one? If not how could I go about making a semi humanized version?
>>8804933
Mauve wig; big, fluffy ears of the same color; fluffy tail; boots, scarf and hat?
Someone posted this in the last thread and now I kind of want to cosplay this interpretation of Napstablook. I'm just not sure about the hair. Does anyone know what kind of style would be good for it?
>>8804953
Would the scarf be big enough to wrap around my body or should I wear a sweater dress underneath?
>>8804954
Just go for something simple, minimal styling.
>>8804961
I would use an oversized scarf, but still having a sweater on underneath. Maybe just black, or a color close to the hair? Up to you. But yeah, I think trying to deal with a scarf wrapping around your whole body wouldnt be manageable, you'd be adjusting it all day.
>>8804965
Doodled this out. Is this cute/fitting? I'll probably wrap the scarf around more, but just as an example what do you think?
>>8804982
Thats super cute! I like it! Make sure you have the beanie/hat though.
>>8804805
Undyne's normal armor is grey, and genocide armor is black, I though it's the genocide because that. With grey color would be nice normal armor.
>>8804805
>>8804794
I was actually planning on doing Genocide Undyne some time soon. I've never made armor before though so it'll probably be a while before it's done. The main thing I'm unsure about doing is her eye.
>>8804985
Ah right I forgot to add that in. Thank you! I think I'll go with this. With that set in stone, any recommended knitting tutorials for sweater dresses?
Anon from last thread going with the Chara hoodie idea, I'm thinking of small details to work into the cosplay. Like the rosey cheeks Chara has, though I have them naturally it looks too red to me.
>>8804965
Unless you pin it/sew it to your clothing in some way so that it stays on
I'd like to try Snowdin Shopkeeper out. How would you guys interpret these colors?
Would chara's sweater be too big of a task as a first time knitting project?
>>8805097
It's a lot of work but it shouldn't be too complicated for a first timer.
>>8805097
It's not so hard. Try this, its what a few of us are using to knit our sweaters http://knitty.com/ISSUEwinter04/FEATknitbynumbers.html
Learn how to do a knit stitch and how to do a pearl stitch first. You'll need to know how to do both of those.
How would you go about making flowey's face? I'm using one of those long bendable fake flowers(plastic not cloth) as a base and I'm wondering how to construct the face.
>>8805173
If you want to be the realest Frisk/Chara then you should build the flower around a screen that plays an animation with a periodically changing face.
Or you could make it out of craft foam and paint it. Add layers to create depth for his eyes and mouth.
>>8805089
Same color as the Inn bunny, they're sisters. The purple is just shading due to lighting.
>>8805173
For mine I used some worbla as a base (heated it over a ball to give it a bit of curve) and then built on top of that with paperclay and some fake nails for the teeth.
>>8805236
And I made a regular happy face for the other side
>>8805227
I made mine with biscuit (I guess it's called cold porcelain or something) but due to a series of accidents it ended crooked and I wouldn't really recommend it, but it's a option if there's no worbla or things like it in your country.
>>8804783
Maan crushing hard on this Undyne
>>8805089
literally furfag tier
>>8805089
>>8805264
I made a gijinka design so hopefully not too much?
>>8805384
if you're going to cosplay furbait at least go all the way, don't do some pseudo humanized shit
>>8805384
that's a cute drawing anon
are you gonna make the stuff she sells as props?
>>8805384
I really like your drawing style. I don't think you need to go full fursuit for this. People will know who you are especially if you have the props.
>>8805389
Why do you even care, man? Bunny shopkeep has a nice design.
>>8804965
Though you could make a super long scarf and sew it to a dress so that it looks like its wrapped around your body?
I'm having a couple issues deciding how to make Undyne's armor. I want to do the version where her helmet is still on, but i'm not sure if she has one eyehole or two since the whole chase scene is partially in shadow.
>>8806295
spr_undynea_dt_0 from the sprite files has eyeholes both sides, but i don't know where it's used
>>8806336
>>8805389
Why, so you can complain more about "fuckin furries in mah cosplay"
seriously, gtfo if you think people cosplaying characters from a cast where 90% is an animal = furry fetishists
cant remember if this got posted

Those eyes are terrifying
hayzemh on Twitch is doing an Undyne prosthetic sculpt atm. Their past stuff is pretty good so I've got lots of hope that we're going to see something decent.

Nobody cares.

I get it and kind of funny even if it's lazy, but then I realize this persona has cosplayed Free! and that's horrifying.
>>8806832
She hadn't played genocide so she didn't know about Undyne the undying. To be fair I started my cosplay before I had beaten it, which didn't make it any less fun.

bumping with the only interesting progress shot I found
Why do so many mettatons do their lip makeup so exaggerated and cheek line so far over? I always imagined his look being like frieza's.
I see a lot of Charas wearing shorts or shorts with leggings. I get that it would work with Frisk but Chara is shown wearing pants. Is it based off of fanart or something?
>>8807604
I assume so, yeah. Most of tumblr thinks playing a genocide run makes you a real life sociopath who should be in prison and won't do it so they're going based on "chara is a frisk recolor" designs.
>>8807522
Yeah the lip makeup is a thing picked up by fanart, which is funny since Mettaton's sprite isn't even wearing lipstick
>>8807508
This is interesting, I'd love to see how that turns out
Sucks the tumblr cosplay tag is over saturated with half assed make-up tests and closet cosplays
>>8807604
I think it was based off the sprite. You cant really see Frisks legs in the tiny sprite, so I guess shorts+leggings is a logical conclusion.
Personally Im going to wear just shorts when I do Frisk, because shorts are comfy and easy to wear (and its hot where I live).
>>8807626
I don't mind when Frisk cosplayers do it because it makes sense. I just don't understand why Chara cosplayers do it.
So for Mettaton..
How should one tackle the neck/collarbone area?
Usually people either paint it silver with the panels, or just wear a black turtleneck.
The silver might be more accurate but how bad does paint get on the wig..?
I'm just at a loss.
Papyrus cosplayers: cape or scarf?
I really want to attempt a Mettaton EX cosplay for the next big con in my area; Sakuracon (March 25-27)
I have nothing set up for it yet, but my biggest concern is my "shape" i guess. I'm a dude, but not that big, so I think It'll work out. I see mostly girls cosplay Mettaton and I get a lil worried that It'll look like shit.
Any good workout advice to get a nice lookin' tumtum, ass & legs?
Anything that other Mettaton cosplayers do that I shouldn't?
>>8807914
Look up drag queen padding. They basically make foam cutouts to pad the hips/ass/thighs.
Don't do that weird black-upper-lip thing.
>>8807626
You ain't foolin anyone
Sage for ot
>>8807914
2nd padding your butt and hips. If you want to dedicate yourself to a life of squats thats cool too, but you'll likely still need to pad to get a nice shape.
Also learn how to walk in heels. I know youre a guy and it's not a skill you use often, but you dont want to look a mess and be tripping over yourself all day.
>>8807709
Both
>>8807914
If you do the padding thing, get yourself 4 or 5 pairs of leggings/pants/tights for it. One under your pads, then the others over it to smooth it out and make it look uniform.
Seconding the practice thing. Practice heels (start slow, half an hour, next day an hour and so on). Practice stairs in heels, trust me, it sounds dumb but you'll thank yourself. Practice Mettaton-mannerisms, look up some glam-rockers and see how they do. You can look perfect but if you'll stand around like a shy wallflower it'll ruin it.
Maybe obvious ones but get a wig. Style it or get it styled. I'm going to make assumptions but depending on your level of make-up, get help there as well. If you can do that by yourself, then disregard. Practice the make-up at least once beforehand.
>>8807914
>>8808186
Oh and I was going to say I would go for a chunkier heel on the boot. IMO women can pull off stilettos because A) they generally walk in heels better and B) they have smaller figures, but as a guy and someone new to walking in heels, you'll want a thicker heel for the stability. They'll be hevaier and they'll probably tire you out, but just practice and you'll be fine
>>8808198
This is solid advice. Try Googling gogo boots for shoes. Left ones would be a very good beginner heel, the right ones would probably end you at a con. Of course, that's all up to your level of experience.
>>8806382
>>8807604
Based off of the sprite or that Chara is the yang to Frisk's yin.
I will be doing shorts and leggings because they look better on me than pants do. Though I will not be making short shorts.
>>8807914
Oh hey I'll be MTT at Sak too.
Anyways, aside from the advice people have already given you, make sure that the costume itself has a good silhouette/proportions.
>>8808925
I love the shape of this but not the shading.
>>8807705
You're supposed to seal your paint, anon. If you do that right, it shouldn't get on anything.
>>8808924
This is cute.
>>8808925
well they tried
Progress anon is this you?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqmGLswUWs0
Thoughts on this?
I definitely like it better than other Muffets that I've seen. I just wish they did something else with their eyes besides smearing black eye shadow all over it.
>>8809132
why wouldnt she just use purple paint instead of that weird paint+eyeshadow+paint+eyeshadow thing? and i know this is super nitpicky/ocd to say, but it bugs me that this girl has her mouth open in nearly all of her makeup test photos, no matter what character she's cosplaying
for anon earlier who was asking about the frisk stripes
having stripes sewn on top of the shirt/sweatshirt looks fine as long as the edges are folded down and the fabric texture is similar
I'm on the search for a big blue dress to make Mettaton during his song and the maze.
I already have the box costume which I might go fancy and do an led grid, but if not I have a backup. Also debating if I should do a EX outfit underneath.
>>8808769
Dont fucking rival me, you little slut.
The fame is mine, and not to share.
>>8809324
Shit, i shouldnt have said that bc im prolly gona want to take a picture of you. Forget I ever said that.
>>8809114
Ah, yeah that's me. Are we friends on facebook...? I've only posted that edited set as my cover photo...
You can really tell the chest piece is too big in these pictures but I was so happy to have some high quality shots.
...Also I can't stop staring at my left knee in that middle picture. I think the weird lighting coupled with some shoop destroyed the distancing. I look like a mutant.
>>8809352
>I look like a mutant
nah, man you look FAB
>>8809114
I love how this anon constantly gets asspats when superior MTTs get shat on
>>8809395
I have yet to see an MTT that was above a 7/10, honestly.
There was one that nailed the face, but I later found out the rest of his outfit was s h i tttttt, it was so disappointing.
How could I go about doing a lesser dog without a fursuit-like head? Ears and makeup?
>>8809426
with a prosthetic? Might look kinda creepy, though.
And speaking of prosthetics, when I went to look up a dog nose prosthetic, I happened to find where that one really good Asgore found their prosthetic, in case anyone else wants to go that route with an Asgore or a Toriel?
>>8809426
Would a half mask work?
>>8809395
>>8809395
I think I get asspats because I acknowledge that the whole costume is ill fitting and I could stand to lose some weight instead of acting like I'm superior and yelling at people who critique me.
I would like to ask that I not be posted again, though. I appreciate the compliments but it's just reminding me I have a lot of work to do.
Does anyone have any pics of decent Brattys and Cattys?
>>8809324
We're going to have to have a pose-off.
>>8809395
Were you even there last time they selfposted? EVERYONE told her she shouldn't do Mettaton/the costume was off/a variation thereof.
>>8809640
That was like one or two people
>>8809641
Not how I remember it, but ok. Also do feel free to share those superior Mettatons, wanna see some good ones that are more than just a make-up test.
>>8809648
seconding the request on Mettatons that don't suck, and why.
>>8809406
Which one?
>>8804783
Is she gonna use that spear to harpoon the others Undyne?
>>8809495
I definitely want to give it a try, but.... I'm too short for the cosplay, I think? I don't know. Besides, it's not like I'd show it off at a Big con or anything.
>>8809406
The one from Aus was pretty good if anyone has the pic still saved (they had the group with Nabstablook, the bunny girl and the dog puppet)
>>8809734
Are you a girl? Then no one will care. If you're a guy tho
but seriously, just go for it
>>8809741
I'm a girl, so I guess height isn't an issue. But I always think of Toriel being fairly tall, anyway.
And well, alright! I'll put it on my list. The thing is that I don't exactly know how her hair would translate into that kind of costume. White, straight wig with the ears and horns attached to it...?
>>8809749
You might think her taller than she is because she's an adult to Frisk's childness? It's true that in the game she's one of the bigger characters, but translating that into real life she'd probably just be an average height. Then again, they're sprites, where proportions are a lot harder to figure out.
People seem to use short wigs a lot for Toriel, and I guess that's because her floppy ears are more of an attention point. I'd personally go with a "mom" haircut, all things considered.
>>8809324
Gee, anonymous, it's a good thing you intimidated her into not doing MTT, huh?
Now you're bound to be the only Mettaton Ex at the con, huh.
>>8809758
>Toriel with dying anime mom hair
>>8809637
When I think of MTT posing this is all I can think of
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvW_fSWKZl0
Someone good with models pls make an edit of this with him. I would die.
I plan on doing snuggie Gaster during ALA, and I'm excited as hell.
I don't have plans to go to the photoshoot, but if I do it'll most likely be for the purpose of walking in front of the group photo, signing some random insult, then walking off. Hope to see you fuckers there.
Group anon here again!
I'm excited to tell you guys someone will be cosplaying Omega Flowey!
Are there any tips or things you think that would be interesting to see in a omega flowey cosplay?
Also, do you think making videos would be cool? We have a ton of Sans so we were thinking about positioning them along the way in a hallway or something and record one of the frisks walking and passing them. Along with other ideas people had.
>>8809813
lemme add two images
This one as base
>>8809813
>>8809822
Then this for legs (doesn't have to be 8 legs, or the same configuration). Either have the extra tentacles be more plant vines, or the tube things that come out of OF's TV head. Maybe have more matching vines/tubes on the top half of the body.
For extra, would love to see a 6-soul-hearts halo above the TV.
>>8809827
fuck, image dropped
>>8809316
honestly you should probably make the dress from scratch instead of looking for one if it's meant to fit snugly round a box.
i wonder how long it will be before the great au design migration takes place
>>8809822
def seconding >>8809827 , just the two legs looks kind of like a naked hairy pair of legs to me. or maybe its just the drawing.
>>8810165
That's actually really cool looking. If I was a MTT cosplayer I would totally want to make this
>>8805248
hey fatarm why not just kill yourself
This has probably been asked before, but what would be a good wig for Undyne? I'm doing her date outfit for Magfest and I wanna finish buying everything for the cosplay this week.
While on the topic of prosthetics, I have a bit of a question. Sorry if it's been asked before -- new to the thread and the game -- but I've been thinking of doing an Undyne cosplay down the road and was wondering if anybody had success getting rid of their nose for it? Like that flat fish-like appearance? I know art style is one thing and it could translate horribly irl but I'd be interested to see cosplays that actually took it to that level and if they were successful or not.
Other than that requesting just great Undyne's in general -- OP looks really good.
>>8810451
I think an anon some threads ago wanted to try
>>8810451
you're gonna have to sculpt/mold it yourself most likely; I wasn't able to find a nice, smooth fishnose looking one anywhere. only chunky lizards and voldemort full-face prosthetics.
>>8810573
You could probably take inspiration from Voldemort prosthetics, though.
>>8810160
I don't really know the first thing about making clothes, I thought I'd be better off finding some kind of thrift store dress and modifying it.
>>8809759
this is prolly the most pathetic bait ive read in a long time.
>>8810797
this whole thread is full of pathetic bait though
>>8810836
That moron is still the winner though.
>>8810797
Not everything is bait, anonymous. That's what they call "a joke"
Should I gather Muffet's sleeves and bloomers or do paned sleeves and bloomers?
>>8810860
they tried to overpower my joke with another sarcastic joke. Tbh I hope there's a lot of MTT's there so i can pose with all of them,
>>8810634
go for it, but it'd probably be hard to find an old dress that's both the right colour and big enough to fit round a costume
making something fit decently is the hardest part of sewing clothing from scratch, which wouldnt be a problem with a box. difficulty might vary depending on the design.
>>8810634
thrift stores. Trust me you will find big dresses there. Maybe not blue, but have seen a few metas in wedding dresses and thrift stores have a ton of those. Also you could always just add some extra straps in the back and leave it unzipped to fit, or ribbon tied into bows. I cheated and did this for my friend who couldn't fit into my alphys dress, I had added ribbons to the sides because it was too big and planned to tie the extra back, well we ended up using the ribbon and safety pins to hold the back closed for her under the lab coat.
>>8810378
literally just google red ponytail wig. her hair isnt that complicated, especially in her date outfit
(Pardon the decopic filter)
Mostly finished my Mettaton EX costume, but I have one problem I'm not entirely sure how to solve. As you can see in the picture, my bodysuit's sleeves have a bad tendency to wrinkle which breaks the illusion of metal. They don't do this when my arms are straight, but I figure more often than not I won't be holding them rigidly so that's a bit useless. I tried tightening them so they'd cling better, but it didn't work as well as I wanted it to. I also need to get the black lines on them but probably not until I've solved this issue first.
Does anyone who has made bodysuits/sleeves before have advice to get rid of the wrinkles? I can get over it if there's no good solution, but it'd be nice for them to look smooth. Thanks in advance!
>>8811020
>>8811028
This actually makes me curious, have people done costumes for all MTT forms at this point?
>>8811558
Maybe add some thin interfacing? Maybe not to the elbow areas, but to the upper arm and forearm parts. It may make your arms a bit awkward to move but it should help with the wrinkling.
>>8811570
That's plausible! The only thing I'd be concerned about is taking away the stretch of the fabric, but maybe I'll test it on some scrap pieces first. I hadn't even thought of that, thanks for the suggestion.
>>8811582
Np! Costume is looking good so far!
>>8811558
maybe if instead of full interfacing, you could make "tube" pieces inside the sleeve? I don't know..
Maybe another way to do Mettaton's arms would be a black sleeve with silver pieces over it, so you keep mobility and your arms look like they are made of pieces ?
>>8809492
>>8809495
literally goofykin tier
>>8811676
oh my god
>>8811609
That's something I considered as well, I think I'm going to try both the interfacing and the tube ideas.
As for the silver on black method, while I see the logic I don't have much time to redo them entirely (I head back to college in a couple of days and will be there until just before the convention). My other thought was getting some kind of fabric/puff paint type thing (preferably not puff paint but you get the idea) and simply paint the lines on carefully, but again I need to experiment with it.
>>8811676
Not every prosthetic is attached to an autist, anon.
>>8811717
>undertale fans
>not autistic
>>8811568
I haven't seen news version yet. That one would actually require them to make a suit for a box and sadly a lot of the fandom is lazy.
Just got most of my husband's Sans jacket done. Looking forward to next fall (after the con we're using it for) so that I can wear it as a normal jacket because it's huge on me and super baggy and made of pure fluffy comfort lol.
>>8811676
WHY
>>8811568
i haven't seen any newscaster suit EX, and i'm mildly surprised no ones tried since fandom goes gaga for people in suits most of the time. probably if it was a black suit or some other easy to get colour we'd see three million of them
>>8811783
I'd really like to do it, but lord knows my tailoring skills aren't high enough to make shoulders like that look good, much less a sharp well-fitting blazer. The idea of adding fabric to a pre-existing suit then dying to get an even colour doesn't really appeal to me, because of the odd seamlines you'd get on the shoulder :c Ahh, well.
>>8811558
There's a kind of foam interfacing used for stretch materials meant to do just that. I wish I knew the proper name for it; I see it out in the fabric district all the time...
>>8811833
Padded jackets are hard to pull off without looking like a drag queen from the 80's but when you can pull it off, it's great.
>>8811865
To be fair, "drag queen from the 80s" is a decent enough description of MTT EX's look...
>>8811868
Eh...maybe that's why we've seen so few guys actually attempt him. Disappointing really.
I'd really enjoy seeing someone do a more masculine style MTT, like maybe work in his clear Jojo influence a bit.
>>8810878
I'd do gathered personally.
>>8811836
If you happen to come across it and remember the name I'd love to know!
How should I go about making this better? Like maybe sand it more to make it look smoother? And how should I go about making one of the eyes glow? Like any cool techniques you guys can throw my way?
>>8812027
put something over the styrofoam to smooth it out. Since youve already carved in the face fabric is out of the question, but it needs something to give it more texture. Think of what a skull looks like, it doesnt look smooth as a baby's bottom and shiny white. Its a dull ivory, it has bumps, it's imperfect.
I'm sure there are some textured paints (probably house paints rather than craft paints) that could give you some nice textures. But youll have to seal it first, paint probably won't stick well on styrofoam. You'll have to ask someone else what would be best as a sealer because Im not sure. But make sure to seal the paint also.
As for the light I would recommend EL wire, its super light, durable and even flexible, and comes in several sizes. Easy to attach to stuff. EL wirecraft is a great distributor, but since you only need a few inches, you might have to custom order from them, as their smallest premade size is 1m. (I'm imagining the rim of the eye lighting up, if you just wanted to do the center you'd probably just need a single light, but Ive never done something like that in a project so Im not sure how it would work).
>>8812061
Gah, I shouldnt have said 'to smooth it out' in the first sentence, I contradicted myself later on. Ignore that. Sorry, im typing half asleep.
>>8812067
Gesso would actually work pretty well if anon stippled it on in layers with a sponge brush. It builds up a fine texture really quickly that way, looks more like bone and less like styrofoam.
>>8812061
perhaps he could use acrylic putty or other materials like it.
I'd also recommend EL wire or EL tape, in fact, you can find discs of it on ebay, with charger and cables.
Anon could buy a blue disc and stick it inside the head.
>>8811859
Don't post this mess
I'm pretty much done with the body of my sweater, going to knit maybe one or two more rows of blue since I dont want the pink right at the armpit. Otherwise I am pretty proud of myself considering I only started this about a week and a half ago.
>>8812473
Looks good! I love seeing Frisks/Charas knitting their own sweaters, it usually looks so much better than the alternatives some people come up with.
I'm despairing hard on my own costume, I'm the Alphys-anon that posted some of my WIP in the previous thread. I just need to finish the eyes and teeth and the face would be pretty much done, but I absolutely CANNOT get the teeth to look right. Whatever idea I come up with ends up looking either too ridiculous and goofy, or too creepy. Normal fursuit tutorials for teeth also don't help me at all since they're practically all for realistic cat/dog teeth. If anyone knows some last ditch tutorial or inspiration (doesn't have to be from Alphys fursuits even!), feel free to help out.
Determination is slipping.
>>8812495
Yeah, I considered going the sweatshirt with stripes sewed on but I really prefer the sweater look since the stripes are seamless. I'm knitting a Chara sweater once I finish this one up.
Oh I love your progress pics! Dont lose hope, you can do it! I wish I could help but I'm not much of a fursuiter at all. Just keep looking at different suits you'll find youre inspiration. Just got to stay determined!
>>8812473
i don't know if the dog is there intentionally, but thank you either way
>>8812473
tfw I want to cosplay Chara so, so bad- and I have no earthly idea how to knit. I can crochet a stiff, shitty scarf...that's all the crafting skill I have in my body. Your sweater looks like it's going great though, am jelly.
>>8813477
You could sew a sweater instead. It can still look quite good.
Any knitting anons got tips for attatching sleeve to body? I'm still following this -> http://knitty.com/ISSUEwinter04/FEATknitbynumbers.html
It gives some instructions for that but I'll be honest it doesnt seem to make a lick of sense.
>>8812987
His names Sherman, he's a camera hog.
>>8813477
Knitting isnt so hard anon! Try just a basic scarf, and then a hat. This is my first sweater. I'm a little stumped on a few places but internet helps. Thanks to youtube its never been easier to learn how to knit. Either way hope you get to make your Chara!
>>8813628
You're in luck, I'm the one who posted that link and I just got mad at mistakes in my sweater and frogged it down to the armpits.
The tutorial says stitch holders but I used lengths of yarn to hold the stitches on the body and each sleeve so my needles were out of the project.
Then whatever 8% of my chest number was, I took a different colored piece of yarn and used it to hold that number of stitches on opposite sides of the body piece (exactly opposite sides, I counted). Then I took another 2 pieces of yarn to hold the same number of stitches on each sleeve. At this point the body piece had one large stitch holder yarn piece all the way around it and 2 smaller pieces on either side and the sleeves had one large yarn piece holding all the stitches with one small length holding stitches.
After that, take the sleeves and match their small stitch holders up to the small ones on the body. Pick up all the other stitches with your needles to the whole outside of the sweater is back on the needles but the armpits aren't on anything. Once it's all on the needles take the long stitch holders out (being careful not to pull off the small stitch holders.
Knit a couple rows and start the raglan decreases.
I'm only 3 rows in and too tired to work on it more so if that doesn't make sense I can rip it back up and show what to do in a video or something.
>>8813662
Ohgoodlordthankyou.
That makes a lot more sense (though a video would be awesome anon). I was just hella confused as to what the hell I was doing with the stitch holders. Hopefully I should be able to get this. Gotta knit up my sleeves first though.
>>8811859
wow she's perfect !
>>8813677
I'll make a video! Then I can show what I did to mark the decreases too cause that part was just a real pain and I fucked it up a bunch until I got in a specific pattern. I'll film it sometime this weekend!
>>8812473
Good work! And cute dog!
I feel such kinship with all you frisky knitters. Here is a virtual button for you all as a token of my appreciation.
>>8813698
anon you light up my life! I was also kinda fretting about marking the decreases.
Now time for a round of 'oh my god I hate the first row of knitting on circular needles'
>>8813477
Yeah I'm feeling bad about my sewn frisk cosplay too. I'm learning to knit now so if I manage to not screw up I should be able to make it before the con.
I seem to have some issues with either tension or size of needles/yarn because the first test I did was looked so big even though I did a really small piece
>>8813727
There are still good sewn sweaters out there!
Tip for knitting though, never go with the thing on the yarn package that says "1 inch is x many stitches with whatever size needles". It's always wrong. Just knit like 6 rows of 20 stitches and use a tape measure to see how many stitches you personally put in an inch.
I hate doing this because I feel like I'm throwing away time and effort making a dumb piece of knitting that isn't going to get used but in the end it really helps.
>>8813727
Dont feel bad anon, every ones gotta make their cosplay their own way.
The size of needle you'll need for yarn is usually on the yarn label. So that helps. And tension mostly takes practice. Starting with scarves is great since it gets you used to it and controlling your tension, plus they are super easy.
>>8813718
Anon that button makes me so happy. And thank you! I cant wait to finish it and start my Chara sweater.
So I recently made a gasterblaster for Sans, but I'm not sure what to do to smooth out the surface of the skull. It's made of cardboard, model magic, paper mache, and acrylic paint. What can I do to get rid of the paper mache lines and bumps?
>>8814457
I know you can sand paper mache CAREFULLY but only if you have enough layers. You might have just one or two?
You could put Bondo over it, or whatever other brand of car spot filler you can find. It hardens real hard and is sandable as well, plus it'll give you a nice fortification! If you go that route, try to get it on in small layers and to smooth it out while it's workable.
Whatever eventual solution you find, it'll involve covering what you have with more stuff I'm afraid.
Curious what you guys think: do you guys prefer Sans's hood as a gray hood or a blue hood with white fur on it? I think the fur looks better for cosplay, but the sprite really looks like it's just a different color rather than fur.
>>8814778
I'm personally more of a fan of the gray hood because those two toned sports hoodies seems like something Sans would wear (along with his basketball shorts) but I wouldn't say a fur trimmed hood would look bad.
>>8814778
do fur
post more cute undynes pls
I know it's frowned upon to selfpost, but I want some honest critique on my makeup that instagram and tumblr probably won't give me lol. I tried to stay close to his sprite and go for a masculine look as opposed to OTT, but I'd like to hear what you all have to say. (I know the eyebrow is a bit of a mess.)
>>8816060
Shoot, I guess I should add that my main question is whether or not my lips look okay without lipstick or accents, and whether or not I should contour more.
>>8816060
I'm no makeup expert but I really like the overall look. Masc MTT looks so much better and it's a shame most people do the stupid lip thing.
Also afaik people don't mind if you selfpost if you're upfront about it and not just dropping your pic in here for compliments.
>>8816060
Its not a bad start anon but you just need some practice.
First add some definition to your lips, I'm glad you didnt do the whole half lip thing, but as is you look a bit washed out. A bit ombre to your lips with a darker grey might be good, anything that makes them stand out just a bit from the rest of your face.
Overall your lines are pretty messy, dont be afraid to use tape to get smooth straight lines. Maybe use a higher quality product for your black lines, the color looks a bit inconsistent in places, especially around the blank eye.
As for your eye make up and eyebrows, look up some youtube tutorials for crisp lines, or good cat eye, you can apply the techniques to get a nicer finish on what you have going.
It's not bad, and I like the design you have going a lot! Just practice it a few more times and you'll get there!
>>8816060
your eyebrows are looking a bit powder-y so i would say comb your eyebrows with mascara after your makeup is done so they are as black as your wig. also maybe put a nice medium gray tone on your bottom lip. otherwise its pretty good!
>>8816060
This is a good start anon. I like that wig.
If you're going for more sprite accuracy, you should probably do 2 eyebrow bolts instead of 3. I also think it would look good with a slightly droopy eyeliner.
>>8816115
nyx is a great affordable brand and they carry an awesome liquid liner.
also i agree with anon above, droopy eyelids would be awesome / his little lower eye lash bits
I'm hoping to do Mettaton EX one day, and NEO the next. It would probably be cheapest the same wig for both and just style the bangs differently, but I can't really understand his hair, much less what wig would work for it. Is it like, a mullet with a large front bang? What kind of wig would even work for it?
And as for NEO, do people interpret his "cape" as an actual physical thing, or as the glow from stage lights in his shoulder armor? I'll probably end up using banks of LEDs and then some kind of large sheets of... Something. I have no idea what material would work best.
Should the NEO armor be based on the same colors as EX? He'd definitely still have the flashiness, if not moreso.
>>8804783
Who's the semen demon in OP's pic?
>>8816209
Magnum from Arda is often used for Mettaton. The only problems are that the bangs aren't as long as I'd like and the back needs a slight trim.
You can try making the light-cape an actual object, but I imagine that'd be hard to maneuver. The few NEOs I have seen usually just rig a bunch of lights in there.
The problem with NEO is that we have no idea what colors he has, so you have a bit of creative liberty here. Some people also make him completely black, to match the battle sprite.

I'm not even going to ask.
Another Frisk who knit their own sweater. Is this one of the anons that lurks and posts here? It looks great if youre out there, anon.
>>8816463
ugh. kill me now.
come to think of it, are there any well-executed napstabot cosplays out there?
>>8816463
>doing both sides of MTT's face
someone didnt play the game
>>8816463
well at least the MTT looks like they tried
>that poor sans who got cut off on the left
>>8804783
That Undyne at the front though! Finally, a good accurate Undyne cosplay.
>>8816706
That's the first Sans I've seen that I actually like. Could be better with the hood down.
>>8816706
sans looks like he's looking off to the side like "why did i have to stand next to this person"
I didn't take any photos of Undertale cosplayers at Ohayocon (or any photos) but if you find any or took some yourself please post! I wanna see the good and the trainwreck.

cute undyne, I like the teeth, who is it?
>>8817116
this undyne was SO CLOSE TO PERFECT ugh
Fins great! Teeth great! But dreads??? And that freckley red spots on the makeup (not to mention the makeup not even going down past their face)
:c ugh.... so very very close
>>8817176
she's thin and attractive is all she got right
>>8817094
To the anon earlier asking about a Flowey human form, please look at this. It's a very good start, but the bottom half looks REALLY bare.
Everything else in that dump is kind of a mess in one way or another.
Nicked off Twitter. I like how they did the lips.
>>8817109
>MTT BRAND
what a quality brand it must be
>>8816522
I think the work they did is great, but for some reason I hate the knitted sweaters. I just think they're so ugly...
>>8817176
Are you joking?
Those fins are ridiculous, the teeth are ridiculous, the clothes are ridiculous, the wig is stupid as hell.
>>8817414
nooooo, stop with the two toned lips. what about nabstablook's personality makes people go 'yeah bishie hair and a two toned lip totally make sense'
>>8817181
calm your autism
>>8817484
Out of everything in that cosplay, I like the ridiculous teeth. Undyne isn't supposed to be pretty, I think. I see her having like... snarly fucked up anglerfish teeth.
Pic related for one of my most liked interpretations for Undyne, even if it's hard to go that far with teeth irl.
>>8817653
It's not autism if the cosplay is actual shit.
>>8817751
slav undertale??
>>8817414
lips are terrible, eyebrow is terrible, white eyelashes(?) are terrible. I like the little bit of blue worked into the paneling shading, but other than that, this is a hot mess.
>>8817793
I feel like this thread and the steven universe thread have become nothing but two fights:
>You like that? Your taste is shit.
>What are you, autistic? It's good!
and
>You hate that? Your taste is shit.
>What are you, autistic? It sucks!
And no one ever says anything of value
>>8817858
I don't know about SU, but we do have some sustenance here. Some people go into detail about why something is shit, which I'd consider better than just saying "but it's bad"
>>8817828
it's an au. i don't even know.
this fandoms knitting fanbase is fucking awesome

So I'm actually thinking about cosplaying pic related. Don't know the first thing about furry cosplay so any tips, advise, and ideas would be appreciated.
>>8818212
Furry dog heads are in ridiculous abundance so you have plenty of reference. You'll probably want to go for a simpler mascot-head sort of shape, but fursuit tutorials help a lot with the foam carving and covering it in fur.
It'd be easiest to just make a head and the paws rather than a full-body outfit.
>>8818212
Oh man I was actually thinking about doing a couples cosplay of these guys, too. Does anyone know whats actually on their shirts?
