Can cosplay lead to modeling, ect? Some cosplayer have built up a fan base and started acting (Luna Lanie) and others who are modeling for companies (pic related)
Is it possible to break into modeling from cosplay?
It's possible, as you've already posted two examples, but it's highly unlikely. Best way to get paid for stuff like that? Lots and lots of fans. Companies will contact you because they want to use your big fanbase and you cooperate because you want free stuff.
Depends, does it have to do with Niles?
And should it lead to her going to sleep?
If you want to be a model, pursuing actual modeling work will be a hell of a lot faster than hoping cosplay will get you discovered.
If you honestly aren't the traditional model type body or face wise (I'm not trying to be mean I wohld describe myself that way) and you're hoping getting popular with cosplay will get you modeling gigs by association then... it does happen sorta when popular bloggers and instagram users are sponsored by small businesses but it's a really far fetched goal and I'd reccomend setting more useful goals for yourself.
Didn't see one in the catalog. Hope you don't mind me dumping a few pictures I have saved.

She is the best I've seen. I used to really love Jolie Petite but I ordered a case from her, she fucked up and I never got a completed case or a refund, looking for photos now, sounds like shit went down. But on the positive side, waiting on a YY Kawaii case! I'm so excited.
I love the wallet cases but I have a 6 plus so no kawaii for me

- Tutorials and links that can help with Homestuck cosplays. Refer to it if you need help. Any contributions welcome.
Let's discuss:

I still love that group.
>what did you think of 2015 overall in terms of HS cosplays?
I feel like there was a huge drop in the amount of homestuck at cons. Otakon Saturday still had a good amount of cosplayers, but Friday was just pathetic. Maybe the game will give us a second wind, but the current hiatus fells like the nail in the coffin.
And with that I'll just throw it out there that (if there's still interest for it, of course) I'll make my year end review in a week or two, and that if anyone have any new (or old) names they want me to take a look at, I'd like to know about them!

Crunchy Anon, you deserve it.
I have to say it felt like that last thread was never going to max out. Also my guess >>8746062 for >>8745923 still stands.
Saw a thread specifically for "meet killers", but not for discussing meetups overall. Feel free to ask for any help regarding meetups if you are planning one as well.

What do you think about themed meet ups?
> How long have you been going to meetups for?
About eight years now.
> What was the best meetup you've ever been to?
That's pretty hard to pick. We've had some really nice ones over the years. The ones I like best are the ones that allow everyone to chat, though. So picnics, high tea, etc.
> Worst?
We had one picnic that people wouldn't let go. Some of us tried to convince the organiser to move it to another day because the weather forecast was dire. It was mid-autumn, and started bucketing down rain in the middle of everyone eating. I didn't even bother wearing a full-on coordinate because I knew it was going to be bad, but wanted to see some of my friends all the same. We ended up going to a restaurant by ourselves when the meet broke up.
> How often does your comm hold meetups?
There's usually at least one a month. Lately, there's been as many as two "large" meets a month, with smaller groups holding more private gatherings as they want.
> Are you satisfied with the amount/quality of meetups that your comm holds? What would you like to change about it?
In general, yes. I do wish fewer people would RSVP and flake, though. That seems to be pretty common with most lolita communities.
> What do you think about themed meet ups?
Depends on the theme. A lot of our meets do themes more as suggestions than mandatory participation. If I have items that suit the theme or have time to come up with something that suits the theme, I'll wear it. If not, I don't stress about it.
>>8764670
>> How long have you been going to meetups for?
only nine months
>> What was the best meetup you've ever been to?
probably our recent ILD meet or our aquarium meet! I like smaller meets but I also enjoy bigger meets where I get to see more people and do something fun.
>> Worst?
I don't think I've been to a bad meet yet! I have been to a couple meets that had a small turnout though. Those weren't bad, just wish there were more people that could've made it.
>> How often does your comm hold meetups?
there's been at least 1 per month as of this past year. I've been in the FB group for longer, and a couple years ago things seemed kinda dead/there was only one meet every few months. I think the comm wants to try hosting 2 a month now that people are more active though.
>> Are you satisfied with the amount/quality of meetups that your comm holds? What would you like to change about it?
even with just one meet a month, yeah I'm pretty happy! I think one is enough for all of us at this point. I hope our comm does go through with trying to host 2 meets a month though - the way we want to do it is 1 sort of informal-ish meet that's just dinner and kind of the "standard" monthly meet like how some other comms do it, and then a second monthly meet that's like the usual rotating theme/location. meets tend to be us doing something, so I think having a more casual meet that's just getting in frills and having dinner with everyone will be nice!
>> What do you think about themed meet ups?
I like them, I think they're fun as long as the theme isn't mandatory; for the meets I've been to or hosted so far themes are just suggested rather than necessary - styles and wardrobe sizes are so varied in my comm I'm not sure if there's enough people with appropriately themed clothes to be able to have a strictly themed meetup that wasn't too small.
I'd like to know this

I'm hunting around for inspiration since I'm going to be buying new frames and thought some picspam / discussion might be nice.

Cosplayer trouble with convention thread?
Traveling as an invited cosplayers has been a thing for a handful of cosplayers for a few years now, so trouble has been cropping up with conventions generally treating cosplayers poorly, not providing interpreters, sexual harrasment, or even trying to scam them for money. So general thread where we talk about these incidents?
Things I can remember from the top of my head:
>Reika dumped at the wrong terminal without help at an American airport so she had to use twitter and friends in order to not miss her flight.
>Once again Reika, invited to an event in the Philippines, turns out they cheaped out on hotel, she was forced to sleep and shower in the organizers house, which resulted in her napping in her changing room and basically not sleeping during the trip.
>Most recent, Yuegene Fay has a disastrous run in with American border control, is unable to make it to an event in Ecuador. Is told tickets are non-refundable and ordered to pay. After some researching Yuegene realizes they are re-fundable and organizers are basically scamming her for money.
Picture related. There is a link on the Yuegene fb page to a google doc with all the chat logs.
For general discussion:
>Any other similar incidents?
>Like it or not, cosplayers have become a main staple as guests at events, especially in smaller countries. How do we make sure that young impressionable cosplayers are not scammed or abused when traveling? (Especially when experienced cosplayers are still having trouble.)
>How do we hold events responsible? CAN we hold them responsible? Are there certain areas or events that should be avoided for travel? What will this spell for the future?
>>8764193
did that ecuadorian guy ever do anything with "justice on his side?"
>How do we make sure that young impressionable cosplayers are not scammed or abused when traveling? (Especially when experienced cosplayers are still having trouble.)
have multiple people read the contracts. lawyers if available.. make sure they have backup plans (people they can count on in the vicinity of the convention and airport) in case things do happen. that's more something the cosplayer has to do though. if they're not experienced they should have a handler come with them who hopefully is experienced with international travel. friend, family member, etc.
>How do we hold events responsible? CAN we hold them responsible? Are there certain areas or events that should be avoided for travel? What will this spell for the future?
besides not attending them, not really.
>>8764220
>did that ecuadorian guy ever do anything with "justice on his side?"
Nah. EGIC just posted a doctored account of what happened on their page, leaving out less savory parts of the chat logs and patted themselves on the back for being so righteous. It's ridiculous. No legal action as to what I could find, probably because they don't have a case.
>>8764375
Doubt they could do anything to her anyway. Who the fuck would launch a lawsuit overseas for what, a thousand bucks? Probably cost more in legal fees
Describe the person in your comm that ruins every meet up he or she shows it's face to.
>Do other people cancel when they see that they are going to show up?
>How do they ruin the meet?
>Who invited them?
>Did they eventually go away? And so yes, how?

wish the girls in the foreground were better dressed, that would make this funnier. girl on the right needs a blouse, girl on the left needs a hair accessory, bangs, and possibly better makeup
>>8756899
This image is old as hell. They look fine for the time this was taken, which was like 2007 or so I believe.
>>8756902
I'm aware of that, that's no excuse for skipping a blouse
Didn't see one in the catalog. Here's my Jessica from Dragon Quest VIII that I plan to revamp soon.
Is this a vendetta thread? I just feel like a seagull wouldn't produce that sort of cosplay
>>8744686
you look great!!
i'm hoping to fix this up a little by katsu and even do an actual photoshoot of it, but here's my monomi/usami from sdr2, i worked really hard on it and i think it came out pretty good!! (and i do actually have shoes for it, they're gold, i'm just not wearing them in this pic because i was at a meetup at a friend's house and had already taken them off)
>>8744686
next time show cleavage
Why is there no hot guys in cosplay thread?

Recently I've been looking for more conventions to go to, but I'd rather not spend time on my cosplay/spend money travelling to go somewhere a bit far for a convention in a high school gym or something like that. Any suggestions for good conventions (besides obvious ones like Comic Con or Anime Expo)?
Where do you live?
Just go to Animecons website and look at the cons near you. google the con names and see what the attendance was last year.
>>8769729
New York, I'm willing to go to nearby states for conventions as well.
