i think scrap this entire project

Did she make this out of an old slip?
what were the comments?
>>8898158
People were saying they were too long, it was weird that they were plain, and she needed to get a lot better if she wanted to be able to sell them.
Glad people were actually giving someone a dose of reality for once.
Old one has hit the bump limit. Post progress!
>>8783859 back with glasses (and a hat block, that's the pink thing they're sitting on). Started with shitty $3 eBay sunglasses, cut them up, reshaped them, and soldered them back together. First time soldering, only burned myself once, fuck yeah!
No lenses yet because I'm trying to figure out if they should be orange-tinted to suit the ref image for the particular outfit I'm making, or clear as per his default look. I feel like amber would contrast nicely with all the blue gemstones on the coat.
Finished my Diego Brando helmet
Buster Rifle for my Gundam Wing Zero Custom is nearly complete. Needs a few more details, paint, and adding the electronics for the lights in the scope. The two halves are magnetic so it can be split into the two separate rifles.
Post the prettiest cosplays you've seen

So do you want simple or intricate
what's /cgl/'s opinion on using multi density fibre board for prop construction?
Good but it can be really fucking heavy because of how MDF is formed
It really depends on what you are planning to use it for. I find 8mm thick MDF (or 12mm if you are going tall) to have the perfect balance between strength, weight and most importantly, price. It's also extremely easy to work with when compared to real wood.
However MDF comes with some major downsides. As it basically is compressed and glued together saw dust, it doesn't really allow itself to be filed or sanded down smoothly. This makes adding smooth contours or rounded edges a real pain in the arse when compared to say, alder wood.
MDF also requires a lot of attention when it comes to painting. Degreasing is a must as is using wood stopper considering how MDF absorbs liquids like crazy. Getting an even coat is also next to impossible as the sawn off edges (or filed parts) will retain a noticeable colour difference, even after applying several layers of primer and paint.
Honestly, if you are planning to paint MDF or apply smooth edges you are probably better off covering it with plastidip, foam, wood glue or something and painting that instead. Other than that, MDF is great.

It's also crazy fragile if you're cutting narrow or bevelled pieces. Cerulean Draco largely uses MDF for his props and a number of friends have had his props arrive broken.

Jokes on you I'm using my laptop.

That's not better.
Well AP just announced a surprise release of one of their most popular prints.
I for one am glad I saved up, this is going to be a bloodbath and a half.
Do you think they'll pull the same shit that they did with Holy Lantern and make over 9000 MTOs?
>>8941484
Is this an April fools joke

I hope so, I honestly hate it so much and think it'll be hilarious to see reactions
You almost got me there, bitch!

mini dump to get the thread going
>>8940798
What costumes do you think are going to be overdone to hell by the end of the year. Think the big three are going to be Joker,Harley and deadpool due to them all having movies this year.
The big reveal was today, I'm sure this will be overdone within the next 2 months, especially since there's already been people cosplaying her.
>>8939995
Super Matsuno Bros, Girly Insect and Kuro Neko, more Purseowners will take off as soon as another character is shown, Dangit Rompers and Trollstuck have been necromanced.
Decided to be a "Cosplay Medic" for my next con. I fix/build shit all the time and wanted to utilize my talents at my next costume and fix peoples costumes, no charge. I love cons, but it only takes 1 wardrobe malfunction, or a faulty wire to ruin someones costume and ruin their fun. I want to make sure people have a good time and not worry about their costume or prop faltering.
Main question: What sort of costume issues do ya'll deal with during cons? torn fabric, broken pieces, things not working as advertised? what kind of costume or prop issues have ya'll have in the past so I can be prepared?
>>8939768
I've rushed to the cosplay medics at cons I've gone to to use their hot glue guns to fix some armor. They had the high temp one so it went fast. Safety pins and bobby pins and hair ties. Super glue. One person next to me used one of those glasses repair kits for something. Those little sewing kits. For makeup probably sealers and powders. A lot of tape (masking/garment/duct). Scissors.
Cosplay Medics are the true heroes.
Glue of all kinds. It'd be cute to get a bandoleer and stick all sorts of different glue bottles in there. Hairspray or got2b for wigs are also a quick, easy thing to have on hand.
Also, I hope that image is just a stock thing you found and not what you're really wearing.... something about it just screams "sexy nurse" as opposed to someone fixing cosplays out of the goodness of their heart.
>>8939768
This is Captain Patch-It's gear. He's an awesome medic from Australia. The bandoleer comment reminded me of him.
Don't see a thread for this. Happening within a week. Since the post-con depression from Sakura con is hitting pretty hard, not sure if this will feel like sloppy seconds. Worth or not worth going?
ECC is ok but not my thing the only thing I like about it are the celeb and merchs. Panels are semi shlt... unless you going to the real comic con.
I'm going just because I live in Seattle and why the fuck not, but it definitely feels like sloppy seconds.
Definitely a different scene for sure, and honestly the guest list this year is not that great. We had Anthony Mackie last year (who at the time was still pretty second or third tier). I go since usually they're pretty good about having a good comic artist/writer guests.
Overall pretty much nothing like Sakura con in terms of cosplay or party scene and can get pretty boring really fast otherwise. Personally am looking forward to getting some stuff signed, but then I'm just going to meet up with some out of state friends afterwards.
What do you think of Trigger's most /cgl/ creation, Kaeru?

>>8938720
Turning girl is awesome, I laughed so much watching it 2 frames glory.
Kaerun is my fav because yes, I relate with her so much.

Is there somewhere I can watch this subbed?
I have a close friend who is working on a Kamen Rider cosplay, this is his first time working on something this big and I'm finding it hard to tell him that hiss cosplay is pretty crappy. He even went as far as to ask people for money on gofundme, asking for $150.00 to buy supplies and a belt.
>>8937009
Its his first time doing something like this of course its going to be a bit crappy. If he wants to do it and its not self-destructive then why not?
As for the gofundme, hes not a girl so he likely wont get anything anyway which makes it kind of irrelevant.
I don't know much about the lolita community in georgia, I just know there is one in Atlanta I think.
Will they accept me as a male? Will I make people uncomfortable with my presence or be intruding on their territory?
If not, would ANY lolita group accept me or should I just dress up at home and not go outside
>>8936770
My boyfriend wears lolita with me to meets and gets along well with everyone at meets. We're not in the Atlanta comm though so maybe they're a little different but were in Georgia still. I think you'll be fine as long as you don't act creepy.

you didn't need to make your own thread for this you attention seeking faggot
