not familiar with most of those, but "strong female leader" seems a theme.
>>8818364
seeing some intensity; not exactly a leader but rather self-sufficient.
I live in NOVA and have been going to Katsucon almost every year a while, but it kind of dawned on me recently that I don't even watch anime and know jack shit about the things being presented there.
I've been hesitant to try MAGFest for personal reasons, but I want to give it a shot. What is the cosplay scene like? Is it big like Katsucon? I've heard it's a better con in general, is that true?
Also general MAGFest thread since it's in 2 months?
>>8758357
Well given the fact that all cons tend to have their own threads, this shouldn't be surprising.
>>8758354
Hi anon! I used to live in NoVA too before leaving for college (but im home for winter break now)
Magfest has an older crowd, is smaller, and focuses more in music and western media.
>>8758354
Cosplay scene is pretty quiet, though it's been picking up in the past few years. A lot of cosplayers have been coming out to take advantage of the Gaylord without the crowds of Katsucon. It's definitely a different feeling all around. Katsucon is very much a Cosplay Showcase convention.MAG is more relaxed and focused on party aspects of the convention, as well as music and video games. They are completely different experiences and I personally prefer MAG. There is just a lot more to see and do all around. I usually don't even cosplay past the morning for any photoshoots.
Let's discuss things in cosplay that really grind your gears,etc
I'll start with one of mine, shoes that are wrong, this cosplay isn't great otherwise but it would look significantly better if it wasn't sneakers
i disliked it when ppl mistake my cosplay for something/someone else, but i cant really blame em if they dont know
>Time is Pre- R.A.M.
>As Tom from Daft Punk
>ppl thought i was robocop
>was Magicka wizard
>thought i was the guy from Journey
uncut wig bangs.
Wrinkled, unironed cosplays. No excuse for that. There's an iron in every hotel room.

Comissioner- HK Armor
$100 + $75 SH
Came with all armor/weapon seen (no cape, etc)
He's from mexico and has won awards. Communication wasn't too great, but he always responded.
Required 20 different measurements to get GMP. Once paid, it took 4 months. Fits PERFECT.
I have a question as a comissioner.
I actually plan to make 3D models of stuff relative to sci-fi, Anime and Comics on demand for cosplayer.
i need to know how much i can ask for it. i i purpose a finish 3d models in multi format ready to be print in any service. i have to make sketches and plan for the construction so it takes a bit of time without counting the modelisation itself.
so how much can i charge for this type of work ?
New UK thread, since the old one is in autosage.
Who will be the bigger disaster, Kitacon or Pottercon?
Potter con, assuming it even runs.
Even if kita is shit people will enjoy it since all they do is to go there and get drunk.
>>8820963
I wish Kita did day tickets for a tenner, i live in the area, i don't really care about the con goodies, i just want to check it out and meet up with some weebros
But nope, just a 3 day ticket for 40 quid
>>8820075
>I'm gonna talk to my lawyer friends about this :)
She sounds like an insufferable cunt.
What? No PAX thread?
Badges just got mailed out! Whos hype? Who's cosplaying what!
Got my badge yesterday, ive got a week of classes then ill be up there as Shay Cormac from AC: Rogue. Shits gonna be fun.
>>8807218
Finally have full weekend tickets this year, get hype.
>>8806046
I wish they'd release the Exhibitor list. I have a hard time getting hyped when I have no idea what is going to be there.
The panel list is lackluster.
What do you say when your friends are bad at cosplay or lolita? Do you try to help them? Do you lie and say they look nice so you don't hurt their feelings?
>know a girl
>she's very sweet always friendly
>recently started cosplaying regularly
>she looks horrible
>everything she sews herself looks like it's falling apart
>sometimes just draws things on in sharpie
>cosplays characters dramatically outside of her body type
>has "gothic" makeup she wears on daily basis does not change her makeup for the characters she's doing
>I'm talking thick black messy eyeliner and foundation way too fair
>does not take out facial piercings does not cover tattoos
>constantly posts cosplays on fb
>at least 20 guys comment on how big her breasts are ignoring her cosplay completely
>she still takes it as a complement
I don't know her well enough to step in and offer to help and I'm pretty sure it would offend her anyway. People who are much closer to her don't say anything about it so I don't think it's my place. But she obviously has the passion and she's got a cute face. If she just put a little more work into her weak spots it wouldn't be so bad.
What about you gulls? Anything similar happen to you?
Friends don't post friends on cgl, newfag.
>>8845919
If she's as sweet as you say, she'd probably be up for helpful advice from a more experienced cosplayer. I would ask if she's willing to listen to concrit before just blurting out all the things wrong with her costumes though.
Also
>have this girl in friend group, but dont really like her personally
>she never wears make-up
>never styles her wigs, same out-of-bag style always
>usually cosplays popular stuff so her costumes look obviously worse compared other cosplayers of the same series
>secretly happy I'm cuter than her
>friends with a girl who is a member of an ~uguu~ cosplay group
>I don't cosplay but I chill with them sometimes
>one of the other girls approaches me about wearing lolita
>I try and give her the basics
>bitches and moans about everything
>but anon, I can buy this petti on on ebay for $3!
>but anon, I found this cupcake fabric!
>but anon, I can wear these shitty flats!
>this goes on and off for weeks
fine fucking whatever go for it I tried
Posting because I'm a fatty who is working hard on losing weight and getting in shape. I'm about 180 pounds and I want to try to get back down to 130. Post good workouts, good diet tip, what music you listen to during workouts, etc.
I'll start by dumping some of those character/series inspired workouts

i wanted to buy myself a stormtrooper costume but they are so expensive
can someone explain why, i mean its just a few pieces of plastic
Not sure if bait, but there's an awful lot of money and work that goes into making a full suit of armor. Unless you want some cheap Spirit Halloween tier costume, expect to pay a lot.
You must be 18+ to be here, OP. Go ask your parents for a raise in your allowance.
>>8845976
if it's just a few pieces of plastic then why don't you do it yourself? sounds simple enough
10/10 mad eme reply
So LED swords, whats the best way tackling this?
The lightsaber I'm trying to make (Inquisitor's) is unique so I can't just buy it premade
do they not have catalogs and help threads where you come from
>>8845534
Could get a strip of LED's and put them into a perspex tube, then sand and paint the surface white to better diffuse the light.
Ask the 501st.
Out of curiosity, does anyone go to these things?
this one just happened
>Dragonball vs. One Punch Man
I'm having a hard time comprehending why that would be a good matchup
>>8844409
what are "these things"?
Let's see everyone's cosplay's. This was my first cosplay captain Spaulding from house of 1000 corpses and the devils rejects
Isn't this the guy from Children's Hospital?
I also cosplayed as kingpin
I want to sew together Hanekawa's pajamas for the Kizu premier on the the 27th. What is the best way to print the cat pattern on orange fabric?
>>8844233
Maybe ?http://cosplayhelpwithdecember.tumblr.com/post/138143674645/paint-on-fabric-walk-through
>>8844235
What type of paint is she using?
>>8844253
Seems like its just fabric paint
Is your cosplay great, but it's missing that "wow" factor?
Are your coords all frill and no thrill?
Let's have a thread dedicated to upping our respective games with suggestions on how to enhance our looks or outfits with a crash course and advice from your fellow peers.
I'll start first:
How I want to up my game: I want to learn how to use makeup for guys, and fully comprehend the practices of color matching, blending, and concealing. I want Makeup - 098 - An intro to makeup. I want to make babby's first armor piece either out of worbla or eva foam. I also want to l learn how to make (or have made for me) a prosthetic chin to use at cons in combo with my makeup to hide my goatee.
I'm asking a lot I know, but I plan on stretching these goals out over the next year or two .
>>8844217
This is what the help and dumb questions threads are for. And then there's also threads for specific things like make up. People can spoonfed you if you pull back a little but you should be posting in the generals that already exist if you need that help. All the information about colour matching and concealing is available online so you should spend the time yourself reading about it and then ask questions in those threads if you don't understand certain things.
>>8844225
I could spend a lot of time trying to defend my own thread, but when you're right you're right. I will utilize the generals in the future. Thank you and I apologize.
