Anyone know anything about "hair chalk" and how well it works / if it looks any good. Trying to do an Ichigo cosplay possibly and I have pretty dark brown hair. Seems like the easiest way to get my hair a different color non-permanently.

Just get a fucking wig
Hair chalk will look like shit
Dude. For that length of hair and color, you're better off buying a wig.
Don't waste your time. Just get a wig.
I started working for a company a couple of months ago (I won't reveal the company due to privacy). Due to family commitments by my co-workers, I was asked to go on an important business trip for the company. I'll be in Japan from December 20th-January 5th with work from the 22nd-28th. I know the time I'm there, there will be huge sales. Has anyone experienced this before? I'll also be wearing lolita too and I hope to see some lolitas. Any places with a lolita atmosphere I should go to in Tokyo?
>>8694928
I hope you have a decent place to stay during new year's.
>>8694928
You could visit cafes like Swallowtail or the Vampire Cafe. Also Tokyo is really into Christmas lights (though they call it "illumination") so if you have a decent camera you can take some great pics.

There's the big fukubukuro sales on New Year's, other than that you're missing the majority of sales (second week of january for general sales, and then Laforet Grand Bazaar end of Jan). Grand Bazaar is absolutely nuts, a lolita literally grabbed a blouse out of my hand while I was still looking at it at Baby! Everyone's shouting the whole day. Worth it though!

Staying at home is fine too, I guess..
You know they make products for this, right?
Quit smoking. It's only half a day, but let's see how getting the shakes goes.
uh wear a tampon or change outfits?
What is the best type of convention?
Geek/fandom cons which is a conventions that tries to include every fandom
Single theme cons which have a certain theme, like anime, video games, comics, etc.
Single fandom cons which are conventions centered around a single fandom, such as Doctover Who, Furry, Pokemon, etc.
I think fandom cons are usually a mess, they have no clue what they going for. Single fandom cons are just boring, especially 3 day ones.
Furrycons desu because they're the most comfy, as a cosplayer anime cons always have a sense of elitism and it's hard to talk to anyone longer than asking for a photo, at furrycons you just chill and chat
>>8694254
You're clearly doing cons wrong. Literally every con I've been to (all anime cons) are hanging with friends and meeting new friends and hanging with them. We all go out to eat and chill in the game room and shoot the shit.
But you're probably one of those awkward people who try to make friends with complete random strangers by making weird jokes and creeping into social circles after your friends left you behind... or you don't have friends.
>>8694286
Idk, depends how big the anime con is. I find it easier to socialize at smaller conventions than large ones.

What's the most revealing cosplay you've done? Did you get cat-called or taken pictures of? What's your opinion on revealing cosplays? Pictures are nice too if you want.
>>8692228
The most revealing i have ever done was Shuichi Shindou's concert outfit with the yellow jacket, crop top and short shorts. I didn't get cat called in that, but I was cat called in other, far less revealing outfits. Though I am male, so cat calling occurs far less frequently for me.
>>8692228
obvious fap bait thread is obvious
>>8692254
Yes, so we should stick to revealing male costumes, so that we remain on topic and not supply him with halfnaked pictures of us.
What is the easiest of all cosplay?
it is so easy to do you can do it without spending even a single penny
slave leia closet cosplay

Anything that is a literal closet cosplay.
A titan.
Since the new NieR trailer was shown today lets have a thread for Drakengard
>>8691390
WHAT
I thought Cavia studios was dead
Anon this thread almost brought a tear to my eye. Hate to be that person that's already planning cosplay on a game that isn't even out yet, but here I am. I'm too stoked to wait honestly.
Didn't see one up, it's time again to complain about whatever you want as long as it's /cgl/ related. I'll start.
>people shitting on others who buy their costume
I'll never understand why people can get so upset about what others are doing in their free time, and make claims about how this means they're not as big as a fan as them.
>>8688650
I feel the same, as long as someone isn't saying that they made it, then its all fine and good.
Cosplayers who think they need to get on a soap box on their FB pages about ever 'cosplay issue'. I understand that these pages are their own and therefore they can post whatever they want and I dont need to follow them. However, I followed you originally because I wanted to see costumes updates not read your very enlightened ideas of "racism is bad you gais!" Even if I agree with their obvious message they just seem like they are talking down at everyone from their high horse.
Or when they try to take issues that do not involve them and insert themselves...

Some people just don't like/are naturally bad at making shit, or a combo or the two. Doesn't mean they're lazy. Actually sourcing a good commissioner/costume can take a fuckton of time and money. Not wanting to get ripped apart for a shit homemade costume is also understandable. People need to get off their high horse.
Excluding competitions and shit though.
Lolita reaction images/gifs! other j-fashion related ones like decora are ok

how is there so many "well known" cosplay photographers but most of them are complete shit?
no strobes
no diffusers
one (kit) EF lens
Because most well-known photogs get that way through networking and persistence and not through photo quality. This is true of the photo industry as a whole too, 90% of being a pro has nothing to do with actually taking pictures.
Also, there's such a thing as overkill when it comes to lighting at cons. I used to schlep remotes and softboxes around and eventually backed off to a single on-camera speedlight with a lightsphere or whatever it's called, and 90% of the time it was as much as I needed to make successful photos.
A lot of the East Coast cosplay photographers are fucked without all their strobes and shit. Try talking to some of them in person and you'd be amazed at how many of them think white balance and blown highlights are nothing important.
>>8687091
you dont need strobes or fancy lighting to take good cosplay photos. check out Beethy sometimes
Comikaze is less than a week away. Anyone going? Are you done with your cosplays? Any meetups you're hosting or attending?
> got marriot room
> going as Green Lantern Guy Gardner
> expecting to party and chill
I'm going as Gwen Stacy (The Night Gwen Stacy Died, because for once I don't feel like sewing right up until I leave for the con) but only on Saturday. I'm bummed the Marvel shoot will be on Sunday.
I'll be around Saturday night, but not planning on attending the con at the moment. If any gulls want to say hi and hang out for a bit, let me know.
/b/, i'm 22 and have only been o two conventions in my life, so i'm absolute shit at figuring out good conventions to go to. can y'all help me out?
i live in fort collins colorado so basically i'm looking for any conventions in colorado, but i'd consider leaving the state for a particularly good con.
also it needs to be in 2016, and if you're going to suggest one that i have to travel out of state for try to suggest one that happens near the end of the year.
also since i don't really know what images to put here, i'd also...

As for photos of trading card costumes, I'll take "What is Google" for $400.
>>8686652
i already said, i have a folder built up but i didn't have any other sort of images for the thread so i just threw up something i wanted to do to see if anyone had pictures i haven't found.
Anyone else missing out on the cosplay fun?
I'm totally broke, jobless, in college. I live in New Zealand and don't have any friends. So I never get to cosplay or even try to.
I'm really envious of you guys for having such cool costumes, and friends you can share the fun with. I just don't know if I'll ever get the chance to do the same :/
>>8686210
whore yourself out for costume money.
>>8686210
Perhaps once you finish college you'll have been smart enough to get into a field that'll get you the money you want for cosplay.
>tfw went to grad school instead of getting a job
>tfw I'll have dickloads of money just in time to be "that 26 year old guy at the con"
hooray
