>Artists: it's not a bad idea to just sign your work

So this was a Cards Against Humanity play in the gulls.co server and that got a lot of us wanting a drawn picture of a /cgl/tan getting bitchy with /fa/tan, who are both in coords, because /fa/ only bought lolita just to have sex in to spite /cgl/tan
>>9045924
If /fit/ isn't taking /fa/'s dick up his ass i'm starting a riot.
>>9045924
what do the tans look like do you have a ref of them
(i read all of these and a lot of them had me laughing)
I was asked to pose with this spidergwen at Megacon Orlando in May. She had a semi pro photographer but didn't give me a card. Anyone kown who this is?
Generic girl with red hair and a pre bought costume posing with generic man and pre bought costume. Waste of a photographer
Also

>>9069181
wtf her shoes
>>9069915
Right colour, wrong design but honestly not that far off.
I feel like it's going to become more relevant soon because of "Hallow" being released next month, Let's see those cosplays!
>>9068154
Ill start it off with a few

So I made this giant Chaos Space Marine armor over the past year and I'm planning to compete in a pretty big cosplay competition next month. What do you guys think? Am I fucked or does it look good enough to win anything? Constructive criticism is always welcome. :)
here's a picture of me wearing only half the armor so you can kinda see the size of it. I'm about 5'8 tall without the giant shoes, and roughly 6'6 with everything on.
That's very impressive! Is it hard to move around in? I'd say you have a pretty good shot at winning something.
>>9065845
It's a bit clunky to move. I wont be running any marathons in it, but I think a slow, lumbering walk suits the costume anyway.
Also, thanks for the kind words!
So, hands up if you think this is going to be a disaster.
>>9058631
>prize money
If it's a competition at least it'll be more interesting than heroes of cosplay.
Disaster? It'll be fucking entertaining
is there any reason i haven't seen japanese websites promoted here? i'm not sure about shipping yet, but websites like queenlens, rakuten and even donkihote have way more options than the english sites, and at a much lower price.
if i'm mistaken and this has been discussed before, which sites are recommended? lens thread..
>>9052922
to elaborate, i bought a few packs of one-day lenses when i was visiting japan last month, and greatly prefer them to re-wearable pairs.
some pluses:
-they're way more comfortable
-a defect can be tossed without worry since there are at least 10 to a pack
-you can switch it up more often/cheaply because of that
-and in japan, options are extremely numerous
i was saddened to see that honeycolor and the other usual go-tos had hardly any one-day options.
>>9052922
I'm not sure why. It could possibly have something to do with getting popular in Korea first and the prices are usually cheaper.
Unrelated to the OP, but I just bought 3 pairs of lenses. I don't normally wear lenses but I had used Freshlooks or w/e back in the day in high school so I know how to care for lenses. So far I've tried 2 of the 3 and they are almost unbearably dry/uncomfortable with the hour. They don't sting but feel very thick, like my eye can't breath. Is this normal or did I just choose shitty lenses?
I checked to make sure they were authentic. I soaked them for 10+ hours before wear and the rewetting drops only provided 5 minutes of relief. I tried working my way into them by wearing them for shorts periods of time, but no dice.
>>9052961
Excuse the typos, it was a long day at work.
Which subculture is more inclusive, goth (actual goths) or lolita?
I read an article about "ita" lolita that had a bunch of exclusionary shit, such as not being able to be fat, black, have mismatched outfits, non-brand oufits, etc.
It made me think twice about engaging such culture.
Goths on the other hand seem to be pretty inclusive as long as you have the correct mindset (be creative, find beauty in "dark" things that others usually dislike, and the music of course).
>>9047174
Your mistake is thinking that lolita is a subculture. It's not. It's a fashion and as such it has rules.
>as if this isn't b8 though
All of the goths I know say that goth is way worse and very exclusionary.
Link to this article or I won't believe it.

you sound like you are baiting or retarded because no comm actually thinks this way

How does this make you feel, /cgl/?
>>9068462
pfff, I cannot care less
>>9068462
Couldn't care less either

Trashy af, but still could be worse. I need that hat something serious though.
AWA is a few months away, who is all going? I went 5 years ago when I was 15, so I sorta know what the con is like, but can't remember too much.
This year I will be attending as an artist. Does anyone have any tips with anything such as parking or food? Would it be a good idea to try and get a hotel room with another artist to help keep down costs, or not worth the trouble?
>>9063702
I went to AWA last year and it was okay. Nothing really stood out until I attended the two concerts. Otherwise it was an okay con.
Parking wise you can just park behind the mall and walk through the skybridge. It's not that bad of a walk but it rained all week for me. There's not really a lot of food around except for what's at the food court or if you have money to splurge at a fancy sit in.
I'd reccommend checking out the artist alley thread and see if anyone is interested. I didn't table but I heard from people that they didn't do so well last year.
Never been before, my last and only con was years ago, so this is me getting my feet back in the water. Not cosplaying this year, but will wear lolita all four days!
Never met the Atlanta lolitas, but I hope it won't be too hard to meet a few nice frills. Heard bad things about that comm man.
>>9066475
I hope you'll have a good experience anon. I'm in a SE comm (not ATL) but I go to AWA. Looking forward to Meta being there.

What's everyone's favorite and least favorite Lolita trend at the moment?
What's going on with Rufflecon? They sold out their special events but it seems like there's no lolita stuff getting announced. The guests they have so far is just steampunk or tangentially related non-lolita...
If you don't wear Lolita daily you cannot call yourself a daily Lolita without that being a lie. Obviously days where you stay in and only wear PJs don't count, but if you are not wearing it every time you go out you are not a daily Lolita.
>inb4 poorfags start whining about not everyone being able to afford it
I don't care if you can't afford it, it doesn't change the fact you aren't a daily Lolita.
Old one is about to die.

Reposting from old thread.
For those of you who are self taught in the art of sewing, what resources you used, what did you use for practice? I have found a ton of things on the internet but I don´t know how to filter the good from the bad
Go with youtube sewing channels or blogs that are dedicated to sewing and not cosplay sewing. The cosplay editions tend to be a little shabby and leave out steps.
Grab some old sheets from a yard sale to practice things on and look up
>how to finish seams and edges
>basic sewing machine
>basic handstitching
>installing zippers
>how to read sewing patterns
A few google searches, a simple design, and a bit of time spent working out logistics of each step will take you far starting out. I'm the furthest thing from an expert but what I have learned made no sense on paper until I actually spent time doing it and then focused my research on what problems I had. Keep a seam ripper handy and dive in and you'll at least start to figure out what you don't know

YouTube and fucking up a lot were my teachers
Didn't see one in the catalog.

Could've sworn there was a thread, but no, it just got kicked into archiving.
Picked up pic related recently, but unsure if i'm going to do anything with them but wear 'em normally.
I thought uchuu would have some music associated, because i see always uchuu styled outfits in J-core music album covers. What do you listen as uchuu appropriate music?I love most typical electronic, one of most fitting is j-core for me, techno-trance music genres are the most appropriate rather EDM or house in my opinion that usually has nothing futuristic or these music styles in general doesn't make me think " aliens, space, robots".
>>9042088
The kind of cute uchuu style seems to be most popular with japan's chiptune scene.
