Hey, can you guys post some Overwatch cosplay, thanks.
Also is this board mostly men or women?
Pizoobie is my favorite Mercy.
Can we get some cute Mei cosplayers? I wanna cosplay her and want some inspiration.
Also, thoughts on chubby Mei? I know it's canon that she's "chubby" but I still feel awkward cosplaying if I'm a little overweight.
Here's the thread for the Virtual Tea Party for a late ILD celebration! Any questions or concerns should be posted here.
This is the last one for tonight but any plans for future ones or suggestions for improvement are welcomed here as well.
Virtual... tea party.
Here's the link for the room! The room is open for right now, I'll make a post for when I have closed the room so just just join in until then. For right now, it is an open invitation so feel free to click the link! Wear lolita or not, just be ready to indulge to talk about the fashion.

They weren't shitting up the general though. The general shits itself just fine without any help so stop trying to find a scapegoat.
Post feels. Happy, sad, as long as they're /cgl/ related.

>driving with sister
>see a flock frills walking
>couldn't stop the car to say hello or anything
>they were gone in less than a second
The good thing is I know there are frills still here in 912
Bad thing is I sold my only dress to help out my mom and sister a few months ago so I can't join you.
What is your opinion on different "versions" of characters in cosplay? I mean like, "Punk [insert character], Goth [insert character], etc
Some of them are fine, but a lot of them suck and aren't even recognisable as the character. Like your picture- you only know it's Sailor Moon because of the hair and the giant patch on the back. Other than that, it's just a generic, rather bad, punk outfit. I really dislike the trend for "punk sailors"- almost every single one is a hot mess.
I like them if they're cool, interesting, and recognizeable. Unfortunately, these days, 95% of the time alternative outfits has become code for "I don't have either the time, the money, or experience to try and create a cosplay of this character's regular outfit, so I'm going to closet cosplay it/buy a bunch of random things and pretend it's an AU outfit"

I made the thread because I ran into a punk Madoka this past weekend. She did a REALLY good Godoka and a couple of other good cosplays though, so I didn't hold it against her or anything, but it made me want to try a gederbend punk Luna ans a sort of casual cosplay for Sundays at cons and such. I just can't figure out how to do it without it seeming super lazy.
Didn't see one in the archives considering it starts in two days.
What are you wearing
What panels are you seeing
General talk about Phoenix comic con.
Done with your cosplay?
I'll only be there one day this year. Hoping to see some frillies I haven't seen in a while. Maybe get a photo with Bob Morley to feed my massive 100 boner.
Party at Squid Ink saturday
>Wearing
Clock King, Captain acold and Riddler
>Panels
Nolan North, Diggle, Omundson and some of the education ones. Got get those easy profesional development hours! Also the stand up, last nights was good.
>Done?
Yes sir.
Any /cgl/ meetups?
Alright guys, it's been a while since the last thread, and I just printed a Cosplay ID card for a friend today and figured I might extend my card making services to you guys, as well as getting the new ID's back on track.

Dang this is so cool. Did you ever set up an esty for these?
>>9016185
The design is still a work in progress. We need to come to a better consensus until I begin mass producing them.
>>9016362
I'm not a tripfag, but damn I wish I was. this is really fucking cool.

WTB Holy Lantern Skirt or OP in lavender colorway only, also looking for matching socks.
WTT/partial trade
for stained glass I'll take any colorway but red, and for holy angel any except white/gold. Looking for the long lengths only.
>>9012286
Derpy Choco anon, because LM is terrible for sending pics.
Back has partial shirring, a zipper, and corset lacing. Waist goes up to 34". Only wore it once for a cgl meetup. It's printed on spoonflowers cotton sateen so it has a decent weight to it.
Iberanime is finally over. What did you think of the new venue? Was it worth it? Did you get to meet Reika? Tell me everything
>>8998733
First time there, had no cosplay or anything, first experience at a con.
Tbh cosplayers seemed to be having fun in groups so I kind of got curious about the whole cosplaying thing and I am now more interested and I may cosplay next time.
I bought some cool stuff and tried to get some photos, that was pretty much it (I also enjoyed playing in some arcades)
I feel like if you dont go with a group of friends it is pretty shitty, it doesnt help that my group of friends only wanted to buy merchandise and gtfo.
>>8999421
If your friends only go to cons to buy merchandise, they made a really crap deal. Ticket price + overpriced merchandise (which a lot of it is bootleg/fakes), might as well have stayed home and gotten a bunch of official merch online.
Glad you enjoyed your first Iber tho, do cosplay when you get the chance, it is quite fun, especially in groups.
>>8998733
The new venue was ok I guess, but the fact that there were so many people didn't help at all, and apparently it rained inside if I heard correctly.

Just received this in the mail. Any suggestions for coording it or worn pictures?
>>8959070
This is so weird and kitschy, I love it and hate it at the same time.
Old thread in sage >>9033782
By request, link to Wonderfinch dramu from previous thread: >>9040054
>>9040598
Just read this and wanted to add I really don't buy the drama, especially trying to drag it into this new thread suspiciously. If someone has an issue with a seller, e-fame or not, just leave them poor feedback or make some blog post somewhere leaving a review. I bet no such thing with magically manifest.
I once saw a posing picture dump in here but didn't save it. Does someone have the link? Other databases with great posing pictures would be nice too.
Any gulls going to Ninja-Con?
yeah but mainly because i won a free badge, otherwise i probably wouldn't every year so far has felt more like a gathering rather then a con. I might not bother cosplaying.
Yeah. I'm hosting a JoJo panel there. Will probably go as Oldseph since Richard Epcar will be there.
>>9035858
This is my first time going, and it looks so small that I'm expecting it to be more like a Lottle Tokyo meet-up. I'm mainly going to see the animators panel.
I'm getting into prop making, what props would you love to have anything goes
Show your props off
>>9017600
I just finished this. Also made a few weapons...I need to sleep.
>>9017600
Here are some weapons from Fate/Stay I made recently.
>>9017707
Mmm nice and clean.
Is there a way to color steel like this?
Working on a nazgul cosplay, and caught between buying these and making my own out of sheet steel:
http://www.amazon.com/Legends-Steel-Riveted-Gauntlets-Hand/dp/B00FI1EY8K/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1465258837&sr=1-1&keywords=steel+gauntlets
(Will probably end up doing both) and I'll have to do it either way.
PS. I'm aware the gauntlets I linked don't have a glove attached yet
PPS. If anyone knows where I can get a decent cloak, share to save a life
>>9042759
hey matt
>>9042759
If you just leave shiny steel out where everyone can touch it and spread their skin oils all over it; it will oxidize to a dark steel color naturally.
You can also do what the Japanese did and mix piss with sawdust and throw your steel in there.
Shitting on a cosplayer? Praising a cosplayer? Just wanna say something?
I just wanna see what happens in this thread desu, no other real purpose in making this.
florida cosplayers are annoying, im not excited for the next con, but im going anyway to buy cute shit that i dont need
Please take this to the Florida thread. I love a few cosplayers and I don't understand why a few shitty ones are popular but why make 2 threads
>>9042731
Link the thread?
HALP! Last minute cosplay ideas! Really simple, I was busy with work and school, couldn't properly prepare. Pleaseee, my hair is red, and I have a long blonde wig! Like the one in the pic. Help me anons, pretty please.
>>9041302
there's a help thread you know
but idk, go through blonde characters and see if there's a casual outfit you can buy/make easily. i have a friend who has misato katsuragi's yellow top+shorts outfit as a backup if she can't get the other cosplay made in time.
The more fitting thread would be the suggestions thread, actually, but YOU must also participate and help others to get helped yourself.
