this cosplay's from a while ago, but it's still really cool
>>8737654
i really hope they do something in the future to make the bottom mouth look more realistic, like fake skin. the bottom mouth is the only thing i really don't like about this cosplay. the rest of it looks fantastic, just that second mouth looks so out of place.
i do like that the color seems to match the rest of the skin tho.

>>8737662
that shitty star cutout ruins all the effort she put into the dress
>>8737672
this dress is sad too. why bother cosplaying if your idea of cosplaying is to throw on a dress that looks vaguely sorta kinda similar
>>8737682
they couldn't have done the eyes any better? or that god awful wig line?
>>8737689
body paint is not that hard to do jfc
>>8737692
someone used jizz to style that rose wig
>>8737694
this is some uncanny valley shit
>>8737702
i wish people would stop doing shit like this

again. what is the point if you're not going to bother trying to match to what you're cosplaying?

18 pounds of bright pink cow shit
>>8737739
i'm ready to admit no one will ever make a rose dress that isn't total shit
>>8737745
once again please kill me
honestly i hate when rose cosplayers wear the mr universe shirt i feel like it's such a lazy cop out to not have to deal with the top half of the dress, particularly the cutout (which i have never once seen look good but you could at least try)
>>8737756
yeah, its pretty much the biggest cop out people do who want to cosplay rose but dont wan to put in any effort. bonus points if they just wear a white maxi skirt underneath
>>8737861
**for people who want to cosplay rose
man, i shouldnt type when im this tired
>>8737713
I really don't like this Connie. If this is the same one I have been seeing, she is always pictured looking really annoyed or giving attitude.
>>8737895
ive thought the same thing- on every aspect she's a great connie, she just looks vaguely pissed off in every photo. i really dont get it. pic related, it's her too
>>8737911
she looks like she's trying for a smug look in this one.
why. there's no reason for it. connie is a sweet girl that just wants to smile at people. come on.
>>8737895
i think she posted ages back and said she just had resting bitch face or something and wasn't deliberately trying to look grumpy. or maybe that was another connie?
>>8737737
The curls are looking really good so far, I'm excited to see what it looks like finished.
>>8737754
why does almost all steven universe cosplay look like shit
the designs really dont translate well to real life
>>8737746
is that a yarn wig?
>>8737990
i get resting bitch face too (my neutral face sometimes looks pissed off) but a smile would fix that really easily, especially since these aren't candid photos
>>8738097
just what i got from the wigmaker's description- it's apparently 8 wigs, but rhapsody wigs arent even that heavy
>>8738167
>8 wigs
Oh my god why? I feel sorry for that poor cosplayer, does she not know how to use foam or similar things to reduce the weight? I'm really curious now and reverse search isn't helping, got a link to the post?
>>8738171
the original post was a long ways down in the tag, but it looks like she just posted a picture of herself wearing it..
http://therealmastercyclonis.tumblr.com/post/133969968102/so-my-rose-quartz-wig-yeah-8-wigs-its-not
>>8738173
it honestly looks like she used 8 of the primadonna wigs from rockstar wigs. man.. that totals up to over 500 bucks for that wig if this is what she actually used
>>8738173
>"I may or may not curl the ends"
Someone send this poor girl help.
>>8738176
why would you not curl the entire thing..? besides the obvious fact that it's huge- one of the most defining parts of rose's hair is that it has a ton of ringlets, big and small. how could you forego curls entirely?
>>8738175
>that totals up to over 500 bucks for that wig
I don't get it. Why is it so common for Tumblr cosplayers to go to extreme financial lengths just so they can brag.
>oh, yeah, my wig is actually eight wigs put together
I'd understand if it were in the name of screen accuracy, but this wig isn't.
>>8738193
exactly- the cowbuttcrunchies rose wig that was posted a while ago was probably around that amount, but it had a lot of curls and (even though it was the wrong color) looked way more like rose's hair and less like a huge drag wig
>>8738196
CBC's is half the number of wigs too (her tutorial says 4). Using 8 wigs just confuses me especially if you're not going to curl it.
>>8737911
>yfw drunk roxy asks to take a pic with you
>>8738214
exactly- there's really no point in getting all that volume if youre just going to leave it in rhapsody's crimped style
>>8737736
Pretty sure I just shat myself
>>8737746
>>8738314
>>8738316
>>8738314
Thought this looked okay (or at least better than the others) then I saw the bottom.
>>8738324
they really should redo the legs. now that we know the diamonds are on her clothes too
>>8738337
there could be kneepads over the legging's diamonds, or something along those lines. i think hanari did the diamonds like how you're saying, though
>>8737713
>>8737895
>>8737911
>>8737990
>>8738164
I'm actually this Connie's bf/partner (the Steven). We both have resting bitch face, but her especially. It's something that's still a work in progress. Excuse the self post, but pic related is one of the only pictures where I could get a genuine smile out of her.
Shameless self-post
>>8738436
What sort of foundation are you using? You've got a really cute face for Pearl, but you might want to try something with higher coverage to even out your color.
>>8738423
you guys are really cute! she makes a good connie- her smiling is a lot more suited for connie and looks much better
>>8738489
what... why? I think her freckles are cute. ;_;
>>8738520
..what freckles? she's a good pearl, but it's just uneven skin tone. a full coverage foundation would make her skin smoother and more even-toned
>>8738520
I was referring more to the rosy tone she has on parts of her face - it didn't actually occur to me that she has freckles (I have some spots like that on my cheek too but I cover them up because I have them nowhere else so they look weird)
>>8738569
What's going on with the huge blur spot to the upper left of her mouth?
>>8738423
tell her to stop looking over the glasses, it doesn't help with the resting bitch face. If it makes her eyes unclear in the pics, remove the lens (connie removed hers anyway)
>I also have resting bitch face
>>8738011
3edgy5me
>>8738173
i mean i like that its big, but how can she just choose not to curl it at all? rose has big obvious curls. you can't just slap on slightly wavy hair and call it a good rose wig.
>>8738423
resting bitch face is fine if you don't know the picture is being taken, but i mean why wouldn't you smile when you're posing? she looks adorable when she grins!
>>8738173
apparently she did decide to curl the wig, so i'm hoping it comes out looking good so she didn't end up wasting a ton of time and money
>>8738193
>Why is it so common for Tumblr cosplayers to go to extreme financial lengths just so they can brag.
She basically says why in her post: "here’s to hoping I’ll be remembered". I guess $500 or whatever she spent on the wig is worth her 15 minutes of efame?
>>8738869
not even efame- her posts have like 10 notes each. just a waste of money unless she puts in the time and effort to do decent curls
>>8738869
some people just want to put their all into their cosplays to make sure it looks good. but 500 on a wig is a little extreme. i hope that's not actually how much she spent.
>>8738874
jesus christ how terrifying. that garnet almost makes that crappy rose look ok
should i do another tag dump, or is this thread just not very frequented lately?
>>8739030
Eh, it's still early in the thread, and at a bad time because Americans are all lazing around after turkey day. Save the tag dump for a good 12 hours to kickstart discussion, maybe.
>>8739046
thanks for the input! ill wait until tomorrow to do one
there will never be a good rose..
>>8739210
Why the hell do some people make the star yellow? It looks horrible.
>>8738569
Fuck off EMCP, your work fucking sucks and I'm sick of seeing you shit up this board. Stop wasting your time "networking" and learn some basic lightroom tools.
>>8738853
Post pics once you see them. I'm worried it's just going to end up as a drag wig full of small curls but I'm still curious.
Related, what ever happened to the anon who said she could make a Rose wig with huge curls that weren't stiff?
>>8739210
i think you mean 'there will never be a perfect rose' because there are honestly some pretty good roses out there. its incredibly hard for one to be 'the best' because /cgl/ rarely agrees on something to be perfect, but there are roses that are better than the average 'slap on dusty pink wig and storebought wedding dress'

Also holy shit IRON YOUR SHIRT, is that costume satin?
>>8739975
>>8739994
>>8739996
>>8740004
>>8740005
the thought process behind this baffles me
>>8740007
>>8740009
>>8740012
>>8740016
>>8740019
>>8739992
costume satin would be shiny as hell- this looks more like broadcloth. but still, why wouldn't you iron your shirt?
>>8740022
low poly peridot
(but seriously those boots remind me of old videogames)
what do you guys think about using nose prosthetics for pearl, sardonyx, opal, etc? im thinking about using one like pic related for opal, but i dont want it to look really cheesy and bad
>>8740393
Maaaaybe. It depends on the shape of your face and how careful and committed you are to making sure the prosthetic looks amazing.
>>8740397
first off- sorry for the patchiness of the paint! i was still getting used to this brand and it was pretty rushed. this is what i normally do for opal- my nose is pretty big, but i was wondering if a prosthetic (properly blended and all) would look cool, or if it would just look too cartoonish and should just stick to my natural features. thanks!
>>8740424
minus the paint (and eyebrows...work on those) I think you look cute as is and a cartoony nose would just mess you up
>>8740444
thanks! yeah, i was definitely struggling with Opal's makeup, and I've improved since I did this makeup test, i just haven't had time to do a better one. But thank you for the input! ill stick with my real nose
>>8740424
I think you could contour your nose and it would exaggerate it slightly, making it look pointer and longer, and give it a more "Opal" look without being too fake.
>>8739992
>people who try to use costume satin as an insult when they don't even know enough about fabric to identify it
I know that Jamie versions of characters are a bit overdone at this point, but do you think it would work if I cosplayed Rainbow Quartz and my boyfriend did a Jamie version of it? He's the only character that my boyfriend even slightly resembles and would be willing to do, but if the idea is dumb I'll just do Rainbow Quartz by myself.
>>8743175
why doesnt he just do jamie in his mailman outfit? it's still recognizable without being overdone. there arent many jamies in his normal outfit
>>8743181
I suppose that would work, I guess I was just looking for something we could do together and Rainbow Quartz and Jamie-version Rainbow Quartz is the only option that works for both of us.
>>8740393
Honestly, it just looks offputting. I've never seen someone do it in a way that's didn't end up super scary looking, even with ones that are made and applied well. Your best bet is just contouring your nose as well as you can to make it look pointy.
>>8737708
i love this!
>>8737754
>>8743185
no offense meant, but why would you ask for opinions if it's the only thing that works for both of you? i mean, go with your idea if you want, but if you both want to do that, it doesnt make much sense to ask how everyone else feels about it
>>8743229
I just wanted to see if other people thought it was a good idea or not. I turn to /cgl/ for opinions all the time because I'm not very experienced with certain things, but I still have my own thoughts and opinions. I guess I just wanted some feedback was all.
>>8743130
>People who are this bothered over misidentified fabric.
Maybe it's just her shit lighting but it looks shiny to me. Either way it's a garbage fabric that hasn't even been ironed.
>>8740393
I reccomend using a little bit of scar wax to give your self a *little* bit of a elongated nose, that prosthetic looks too lumpy and the edges are not going to be easy to blend (especially since its in the middle of your nose). So yeah use scar wax for a nose tip or look for more professional made nose/nose tips.
>>8740007
i was trying not to judge too hard because i thought this might be her first cosplay or she was really young, but she's 22.....
>>8743278
Anon... costume satin is obvious as hell when it's used... If you honestly thought that picture had any costume satin in it, you must have never seen costume satin photographed before.
And broad cloth can be used well, just not like that.
>>8745489
Who gives a fuck, it looks like shit
>>8737682
The wig sucks from that angle, but HOLY SHIT THAT SHIRT SILHOUETTE. They got it down!
>>8746431
there's different kinds of shit, and it's better if you actually know them instead of trying to act superior
> getting this mad
question: while this wig is pretty awful for rose, would something like this work for rainbow quartz, with a little less volume?
>>8739210
I can imagine how tumblrites throw their shit at this person for thin-washing (or whatever) rose quartz
>>8749207
I don't think there's anything wrong with the volume, I think the bump is actually a good size for Rose, it's just lacking in any kind of curls. That's what makes it awful.
>>8749207
That wig would be great for a humanized Lion.
>>8749207
I wonder where all the gyaru hime wigs went - they'd be a great base for a rose wig!
>>8749258
My thoughts exactly, i think it would be almost ideal for Lion.
>>8749207
I feel like this cosplayer keeps trying so hard but makes the weirdest decisions in the name of having the biggest costume on all of tumblr. Why choose that purple color for the skirt when your wig is bubblegum pink?
>>8750383
cmonnnn
even im a heavy girl but someone actually took a picture, looked at this, thought this looks good!, then posted it on the internet.
At least wear shorts that fit you jfc
>>8739973
>>8750430
look like benedict cumberbatch
>>8750404
her dress is purpleish, though
>>8750494
That looks like someone's recolor... her skirt is might lighter than that.
>>8750404
It could very well be that back lighting plus camera quality, anon.
>>8750578
when greg says she's 8ft, is he counting her beehive?
>>8750578
There's no back lighting in that screenshot, all the lights are off.
>>8750404
>not ironing your fabric before ruffling it
I do like the shape of the skirt, though the ruffles aren't accurate.
>>8739964
I like the top and the bottom of this rose but nothing from shoulder to thigh-- did she fold over a normal bra to make a strapless one??
>>8750404
shes got a pretty figure for rose.
does anyone have fanmade gemsona cosplays?
>>8756718
no that would be dumb
>>8756718
there was one of a guy in a poncho a couple threads back
are there any fangem designs that dont suck?
>>8739937

Still my favorite Pearl.
>>8738874
What's up, seagulls? I feel like SU took a sharp, hard turn into death valley every since the Zami thing blew up.
>>8758531
I don't think its so much that, as that we're on hiatus currently. When the show comes back things will be more lively.
>>8737670
That's a really adorable idea, anon. You could also easily make Cookie Cat sandwich cookies or ice cream cookies too, which might be cute.
>>8750404
>>8750494
>>8750578
"Rose wore a strapless, floor-length, lilac-trimmed, tiered white and in some appearances a white and pink dress."
According to the wiki, grammar aside, you're all correct. There doesn't seem to be a huge amount of consistency in her dress colors or number of tiers. They could be different regens.
Her profile pic in Guide to the Crystal Gems definitely shows bubblegum-pink hair with a purple-tinted dress tiers, though the fabric in the cosplay is a bit too dark no matter what reference you're looking at...
Still the best Rose dress I've seen. Hopefully she'll do a good job on the star cutout.
>>8737670
like this fanart?
>>8739964
If she got the top of her dress to fit her properly and got some character accurate makeup on, I think she could be a pretty cute Rose. She needs to look up in photos though.
Scrunching your neck up in pics isn't flattering on anyone, let alone big girls.
The wig is decent, but I feel like if he got a lighter shade of pink it would work a bit better.
She's got a good foundation to work off of cosplay-wise, but it needs work.
>>8758983
exactly, anon. those look adorable. if i were good at baking and decorating, i would totally make some of those, since a lot of things can be stylized/simplified to make cute cookies (gems, shield, garnet's gauntlets, robonoids, etc)
>>8740004
why is her wig sticking straight up?
>>8759087
it's 100% this
>>8762098
>>8762098
this is a hot fucking mess
>>8762098
I cannot get over how poorly that bodice fits... she must've bought it many sizes too small.
>>8762102
you know, as a person who can't style wigs for shit (and I have tried, oh my poor poor wallet have I tried), I kinda like her approach to the wig. I think it could work if she had taken some fibers and swooped them over the clips to better hide them.
>>8762331
She's not going to be able to hide that many open spaces and parts/netting in each ponytail clip by just sweeping hair. It would look like a hot mess.
is this thread alive enough to warrant a small dump from tumblr? i want to give it some life, but im not sure if its worth it since the thread seems to be slowing down

>>8762686
Is this a good Rose?
>>8762603
The fuck typa shape is that
>>8762098
look to the bottom right of that roses dress. those are her toes. look at that roses toes. she isnt even wearing shoes. shes been walking around that entire convention with her toes out.
>>8762573
looks like gekroents
>>8762701
She's done a lot of things right (or at least better than 90% of Rose cosplayers) but it's not perfect. I think with a more accurately-shaped dress she'd be pretty much set, though.
>>8762772
Rose canonically doesn't wear shoes. It's gross to go around a con like that but I guess I get where she's coming from...
>>8763285
you could do it for one picture i guess, but it's nasty to not wear shoes around a convention. plus her dress covers her feet all the time, except for a few occasions. id rather see nude pumps or those invisible shoes than someone's bare foot
>>8762648
>>8762772
>>8763288
Or she was wearing flip-flops and kicked them off for the picture.
>lacking this much object permanence
A friend dressed as Toph from AtLA and wore sandals to her conventions. She'd take the shoes off for pictures and drop her bag on top to hide them or move so they were out of the frame.
>>8764432
that... still doesnt make sense. it's not like she wears a knee length dress- it covers her feet for 99.9% of the time. you can easily wear shoes and just keep your feet under your dress for photos and avoid touching gross con floor
>>8737729
Damn this Stevonnie's hair is on point!
>>8764507
How many open wounds do you have in your feet to be this afraid of bare feet on a floor?
>>8737713
RL MOVIE ADAPTATION WHEN????
>>8764544
not with that Connie
>>8764544
tumblr pls go
>>8764535
it's not like im going apeshit over going barefoot at all- like i said, if its for one photo where she's lifting her dress to dance for a photoshoot, that's fine. but being barefoot on a convention floor that rarely gets cleaned, where thousands of people have put their shoes and have tracked in countless germs, is completely unnecessary when you could just wear shoes and keep them under your dress.
>>8762578
i like the clean construction on the outfit and spear! wish she did more with her wig, but it looks pretty nice.
>>8762584
her gem is on her vag
>>8762598
what the hell happened to that wig
>>8757804
Is it just me or does anyone else find it shitty that so many Pearl cosplayers just don't bother with body paint at all? Like, I mean, maybe if you're albino, but otherwise Pearl is like paper white, and I feel like it's lazy to not bother at all.
>>8765940
My guess is she tried to make a giant drill curl without any supporting structure, and just shellacked it in hairspray.
>>8768169
More pearls should do paint, I agree, but she isn't paper white, especially in recent episodes. She's more of an eggshell color-people still need to use paint, but some yellow tint in white paint would look really nice I think
Someone used two Arda wigs on this.
>>8768525
I wish I was a child that had my parent's budget to buy unnecessary, expensive wigs and then misuse them.
>>8768525
Jesus Christ. Arda's baby pink is already the perfect color for rose, why would you try to do this hot pink monstrosity?
>>8762772
She took off her shoes for the pic, you can see them in the background. Hell, you gotta chill, anon.
>>8764949
Her shoes are literally visible in the picture (wall on the left), and she probably intended the pose to emphasize her bare feet more than it did (probably becayse Rose's toes are emphasized during her "landings" in a few shots in the show) stop autisming about this.
