I'll start by dumping some of the best (and worst) of Katsucon's Steven Universe cosplayers.

I've just been searching the tumblr tags, unfortunately there's not much worth writing home about. Most aren't bad or good, just mediocre.
>>8868234
There seemed to be a decent number of Roses. Have we come any closer to the perfect Rose Quartz cosplay?
I was thinking about how everyone cosplaying Rainbow Quartz draw on Rose's eyes underneath their own, but has anyone tried drawing Pearl's eyes above their own? I guess this would work better if they had a massive forehead
any pics of the boob window sapphire that was posted in a thread a while ago?
>>8868255
it makes a lot more sense to draw on rose's eyes because a. they're a lot smaller and b. on rainbow quartz pearl's eyes are a bit closer to where eyes would typically be on a human face. i think it would look really bad if anyone tried to draw on pearl's eyes
I saw this one at a recent con-never seen Rose done with 4 ponytail clips
>>8868333
>orange wig
this is even worse than the dusty pink everyone uses
>>8868384
It looks like a dusty pink to me under bad lighting, anon.
>>8868230
This is perfect!
>>8868333
>that Steven
>>8868230
This is terrible
>>8868230
>That Target bag
>>8868823
I don't think that's a cosplay, m8, just an outfit inspired by the character.
>>8868220
Rubi looks like an oompa loompa.
>>8868823
this is clearly not meant to actually be a cosplay
>>8868277
boob window sapphire? someone please explain
>>8868846
someone attempted to make Sapphire's Homeworld dress with the diamond on the chest reimagined as a mesh titty window.
Theory > Execution
>>8868223
I like the effort with that Greg, shitty hair choice but I like he included the fake tan.
>>8868230
When will Garnet cosplayers paint their skin her actual color.
>jimmies rustled
>>8868879
White people never paint for Pearl either. A few freakishly pale people can get away with it though.
>>8868964
i was right lol
>>8868986
Damn, I'd love to see this design executed by someone with just a little more technical skill. It would be fucking fantastic.
>>8868230
Big question is does she have the gems and the 3rd eye?
>>8868235
>the perfect Rose Quartz cosplay?
>Not this shit again
I thought we decided that cgl isn't a hive mind, so it's impossible to please everyone?
>>8868257
My feedback is to post a picture where we can actually see your damn costume if you "really" want crit. But then again you're just trying to cover your ass so I'm not surprised. From the very little I can see, your wig is a good color but looks flat, boring, and straight out of the bag. Your star cutout is WAY too big, and it's hard to tell from the angle but your cup size looks too small for your body.
>>8868234
Damn that is a lot of work.
Really my only issue is the wig.
>>8870696
I actually know her IRL, her first wig apparently got ruined and she had to rush a new one for the con. I like what she did with the skirt of the dress but I feel like her bodice turned out so awkward.
I feel kind of bad, she put a lot of work into that thing. She just now finished it after months of working daily on it.
>>8868234
Did somebody photoshop that guy in the background to look like sunburned Greg, or did he actually look like that irl? He looks so odd.
>>8870720
I missed that one, it's more clear that it's bodypaint and ...yarn(?) here.
Should I bind for Pearl from the 80s flashback episodes? Binding to portray a girl sounds weird, but Pearl was pretty damn flat and I'm a 32D.
>>8868229
I think this is the best Rose I've seen. The wig is really the best one I've seen
>>8868986
Boob windows only work if you have either a flat chest or the boobs of a goddess and lots of support tape.
>>8868986
This would look nice without the window
I've been mulling this over in my head and I think it's a good idea but I guess I just want some reassurance- I'm cosplaying Rose and planning on wearing a corset under her dress. Because of this I can't do the star on her stomach as an actual cut-out. As long as it was nearly done and the gem was secured properly, do you think reverse appliqué would be a good way to sew on a patch of skin-coloured fabric and have it look okay?
>>8870696
It's a lot of work and decent as far as RQ dresses go but it's super inaccurate (I saw her at the con and it was even weirder IRL from a distance since the bottom just looked like a huge floof of petals). I can't think of why anyone would choose to make all those extra petals for an inaccurate design, unless the dress was bought like that.
>>8871680
I used a reverse applique for my rose dress and it turned out really well. I recommend it!
>>8872071
The skirt is pretty cool, even if it isn't canon. I just can't stand the boob cup bodice and fabric star
>>8872114
She's not really my friend, I'm just trying to provide all of the information I know for people who are talking about it. A few people have been saying stuff that's not true so I thought I'd clarify, but I guess I'll just let people say whatever they want since that's more fun for them anyway.
>>8872238
>Wig isn't great
>Dress is inaccurate
Except both of these are true. You're jumping to defend her costume by claiming that she had other plans or what her rational behind her decisions are. Just because she had plans for an accurate wig, it doesn't magically make her current one better.
>>8872257
I've admitted to both of those being true though, just explained the background behind both of them. I didn't even say that I thought the dress was exceptional. It could be better. I agree that the bodice was awkward and that the wig didn't turn out great. I think the girl cosplaying also knows those things.
But I guess giving background information on it and not immediately agreeing to trash something that I personally don't think is super awful makes me a white knight
>Finally, characters us fatties can cosplay as
>mfw
>>8872270
No, but crucifying yourself because someone gently suggested that you stop rushing to defend your friend does make you sound obnoxious.
>>8872287
I didn't mean to crucify myself, I'm not the best at communicating. I just didn't want people to get the wrong idea about something, especially when I know what the real deal is. Sorry.
>>8872270
>not immediately agreeing to trash something
What are you talking about? Nearly all of these comments say that they like the cosplay but wish some detail was better. It's clear that you can't take any criticism, but you should lurk more if you think this is anything close to trashing.
>>8872347
I'm not any of the anons from before but I just want to offer you a bit of friendly advice. Just stop replying. You clearly don't know how to talk to people here and stop making excuses, so your best option is to just leave and forget about this if you don't want to make things worse for yourself and your friend.
>>8872374
No, you got called a white knight because you responded to mild criticisms with personal information about why the cosplayer made her costume the way she did. CGL is only interested in how a costume looks in photos, not the thought process behind why something looks bad. If someone says "the dress isn't accurate", it looks white knightish to reply with "well she did it on purpose because she wanted it to look like a rose".
I don't know how you've been on CGL for four years and don't seem to understand this.
>>8872390
>still replying
jfc
>>8868235
Far left wins by a mile because of the petti. If the others had bothered to add volume they'd look so much better...
>>8870793
You should bind.
I want to do a jamie cosplay, but I am the newest cosplayer ever. Where can I get his mail patches? Are there any good pics of someone who has already done one?
>>8868226
i am so sick of seeing this cosplay.
it's not that great and yet she wears it fucking everywhere and people post it all the time.
>>8873297
The ruby on the far left is really the only one writing home about.
>>8873297
these physically hurt me
>>8873305
That Pearl's wig looks dope af. Any other pictures of it?
>>8873305
blue Amethyst, what
>>8873305
I like that schoolgirl Pearl. She looks prim and cute.
>>8873357
>>8873297
>>8873301
Pfffhahaha this is so bad
>>8873297
>>8873301
>>8873303
everyone in these look like shit
>>8873297
one on far right looks lost. if the concept was prom ruby/sapphire she should have worn a suit or something
>>8871680
Just make sure the patch actually matches your skin color. The reason why so many people here are against using patches instead of an actual cut out is almost everybody uses fabric that is very obviously the wrong color, usually too yellow.
>>8872257
the dress is obviously an original design and pointing that out isn't white-knighting it's stating the obvious for the idiotic
>>8873422
probably the best pearl I've seen, just based on her body/face matching the character so well. IT's really quite cute!
>>8873558
the amethyst should've used a more purple bodypaint, it looks so blue
how did she even get so popular. and people are actually wanting to buy these
>>8875612
none of these are going to sell, I'm guessing. Who wants to buy selfies of bad cosplays?
>>8875612
if shed go for it like autograph cards and give them away for free or maybe a dollar or so I'd understand. she really seems to have many fans. but the quality of the costumes looks really cheap. where do all these fans come from?
>>8875662
she cosplays a ton of characters from every popular series, tags them a lot, follows and likes a ton of other cosplayers' photos, does s4s, and other stuff like that. her cosplays are pretty bad though, and almost never accurate
This wig is cute
>>8875840
>>8875842
>>8875845
>>8875840
no it's not
$1000 Rose couldn't even connect the bodice to the skirt ffs. I kind of like the wig, but damn that dress is bad
Does anyone have good examples of really awesome fushion Cosplays? All the ones I've seen have fallen short for me or looked horrible! I've seen some good Sardonyx ones, but Opal, Alexandrite, and Sugilite always end up looking so bad!
>>8872643
1. Go to the Help thread.
2. Look on Etsy or Storenvy.
>>8876134
This is my favorite Opal. It's not 100% accurate but it's very clean and well-made. I don't think I've seen a great Sugilite, but there have been some that are ok. And for Alexandrite, have you seen >>8868226? It's probably the best Alexandrite at the moment
>>8873422
This is a really good Pearl. A lot of the hot messes in this thread could learn a few lessons from her.
>>8875840
If the wig looked more like actual hair instead of badly painted cotton wool I'd like it.
>>8875842
She looks so dirty... I don't even know why, everything just looks so smudged and unblended.
>>8876172
This is the only passable Sugilite I could find at the moment
>>8876231
Passable in Lilliput maybe
>>8876172
This is the only recent one I've seen around.
>>8876115
And STILL hasn't ironed her damn skirt.
>>8876214
>>8876172
>>8876231
I feel like these are good, but you can never really tell because of the angle, sometimes I think a cosplay is amazing and then I see a different photo and realize it's pretty bad.
>>8876249 is probably my favorite Sugilite just because the colors all seem to flow together.
It's kind of sad we haven't had anybody really nail the characters of this show yet.
>>8876595
It's so hard to find good gem cosplayers because the style is so human adjacent but also so totally inhuman. The "perfect Pearl" up there >8873422 literally has a dangerous genetic condition that gives her her Pearl like face and build. No average humans are going to make for a good gem.
>>8876871
What condition does she have?
>>8873422
Is it just me or does she look a lot like Lor.
>>8877668
Not anon and I dint think she has a condition but Marfands syndrome can give people very long skinny limbs and digits
>>8876871
why do you all have to make excuses for yourselves just because you're jealous. "dangerous genetic condition" ? are you kidding me...
Did this lapis test a while ago and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out overall. Going to try a version without the gold as well, with some colored sand in it for texture.
reddit unfiltered yellow pearl. inclide to believe it because of how colourful our pearl is
i wonder what blue pearl's real colours are, considering that episode was deliberately monochrome
>>8877797
Are you legit mad someone pointed out that, no, most real people do not look like cartoons
>>8873422
I hate this chick but she does make a good Pearl with her body
>>8877827
no
>>8878060
what i was trying to say was that people are just trying to make excuses for why tatto is "the perfect pearl" and no one else can do better. people complaining about people not looking like cartoons is stupid since that's what cosplay usually is. But to say the only way someone can have a good cosplay is by having a 'dangerous medical condition' is also stupid.
>>8876871
most of time the cosplays are just a little off. Like if the execution was better or they got a better wig. I know I've seen so many Garnet's who have awesome outfits or spot of gloves, but who's wigs are horrible, or body paint needs work.
>>8878259
also black cosplayers get asspats for just showing up, i barely ever see garnets with wigs, much less paint
>>8873422
She's my favorite Pearl, but I feel like that's the only character she really suits. I can't think of another character she's cosplayed that hasn't looked really off.
>>8878472
Not bashing her by the way- she has a really unique look and it's ugly, but I can't imagine what it would be like to perfectly suit one character and few others
>>8878478
Isn't ugly! Oh god, I'm going to bed now.

It's tough having a big/weird nose as a female cosplayer. Girls aren't drawn with such an unkawaii feature very often.
This is... so unfortunate
Have any gulls seen cosplay of Pearl's outfit from The Answer? I'm trying to figure out how I want to go about making it. The way the sheer part works is throwing me a little.
>>8880085
It looks like a pink unitard with the top half made of white or light toned material and a flared translucent blue sleeveless thing over it.
>>8875612
>undyne
>two eyes
nigga...
>>8881386
what
>>8881474
One of the characters depicted rolls with an eyepatch. Printing an inaccurate card seems like icing on the stupid cake.
>>8881493
That's too bad since it's an awesome game
>>8881495
It is, but it seems like a large number of people cosplaying from it are just doing it for attention due to the amount of mistakes like this
>>8881480
haha fuck i forgot she had an eyepatch
>>8878230
>I don't have marfan's syndrome
So she's just... naturally really ugly?
How unfortunate.

WHOA THAT'S MATT FROM TWO BEST FRIENDS!
Where is this from?
>>8883238
It's from Magfest, check his Tumblr for more pics.
>>8883242
Welp I'm mad. If I had known he'd be there I would have totally gone. I want to at least meet one of the Zaibatsu before I leave this Earth.
I really should watch their social media more in general.
>>8883219
She does look cute as Pearl. If her everyday style is Pearl-like, she could be cute in a weird way.
>>8871095
Really? Because it looks like a fucking bird's nest to me
>>8868234
desu I don't really care if it's inaccurate, it's still one of the best rose dresses I've seen. I'm really tired of large shitty tiers that don't even have the same color tone.
>>8868234
this dress is giving me a lot of life
>>8870793
wtf yes
>>8872347
just stop

>$1000
You're shitting me. That looks like it's made out of regular cotton. How????
>>8883634
Hey, Danny Sexbang isn't cringe.
>>8884250
Not shitting at all- she flaunts the fact that she wasted that much money. I don't have any idea how you spend that much money and still end up with that subpar dress
>>8884308
It's simple- she doesn't have the skills she needed to make it. You can spend a million dollars on materials but at the end of the day if you aren't good at sewing, nothing will save you.
Honestly she should have just had it commissioned if she was willing to blow that much money on it. She may have even been able to get it for cheaper, honestly.
>>8881495
>awesome game
>>8884384
>I don't like what the masses like just because it's popular
>>8884250
It was the wig that set her back the most. Other anons were speculating that she bought a bunch of Rhapsody wigs from GLW.
>>8877921
The time I said I liked plain lapis gems everyone flipped out but here someone made a textured one and no one even cares.
>normally I'd sell this for $65
>but I'm willing to let it go for $50

This dress is the bridge between SU and Homestuck and the quality is fitting.

>>8884694
It might be worth it for a quick laugh
>>8884477
I have her on my fb and she is so cringy at times. That dress is not worth 50$ no matter how you look at it.
Is it frowned upon to NOT do the extra arms for fusions?
Been working on Sardonyx and haven't come up with a solid plan for the arms that won't look retarded as sin.
>>8884719
The whole reason the fusions are so cool and appealing is because of the multiple appendages. Not doing them will make you look unfinished and cheap desu. Go reference some good fusions like these and try your best:
>>8876214
>>8876231
>>8876172
Common pitfalls of the arms are making them too skinny compared to the wearer's real arms and making them look too noodly and/or limp. You could even forgo to the whole fishing line trick and just secure them in a pose and not have to worry so much about them, like in the picture you posted.
>>8884477
flaws: everything
>>8884477
>>8884685
How can people even be this bad at making things?
this gem is really pretty. i know some people don't like the gold flecks, but i think a small amount is pretty
>>8885290
>>8885291
Alright Hanari, we get it
>>8873301
What's up with the second one in from the left? Did someone forget to teach her how to color?
>>8884477
Shes "willing to let go of it for $30"
No sane person would spend more than $5 on this
>>8885345
I'm pretty sure those gems have nothing to do with hanari?
>>8885808
>>8885345
Wasn't me bro. I already did my promoting.
>>8885345
someone posted them on reddit a while back so i crossposted them here? omg
>>8888277
Where is there too much shop? I see where she blended her armsocks into her paint and where she smoothed out the wrinkles near her elbow, but not much besides that
>>8888277
post them then, dont bitch about other people not doing it
>>8888277
I'm half surprised this hasn't been posted yet.
>>8888772
>>8888772
oooh, I like this, if only the fabric wasn't so wrinkly and the wig was more...fluffy-ish
>>8888776
I really wish she had done a cutout and made the dress out of a better material, but her craftsmanship and overall look is clean. I'm not a fan of stiff drills personally, but I like the volume
So this will be at Anime Boston and I'm not exactly sure she understands percentage. She called it 90% done. All I can think is she hacked up a top and skirt? And wtf is the hemming?
>>8889730
I'm not sure I'd call any costume without a wig 90% done, regardless of other issues with her build.
>>8889760
I fear to see what her 'wig' will be. I find often shit tier SU cosplayers especially Rose ones rarely put any effort in the wigs
>>8888776
I would love this if it wasn't for the fabric. It looks like it's made out of construction paper.
>>8889846
I agree it needs ironing but the visual style of SU doesn't really give much leeway for fancy fabrics.
>>8889890
I think they mean it should have been a thicker version of the same fabric so it was less see through and wrinkly
>>8889890
making a ballgown out of cotton isn't really the smartest decision in general. a matte satin would have made more sense.
>>8879893
There's nothing to be salty about. These fats half ass their cosplays and its only accentuated by their pig snouts, sausage fingers, and swollen arms. Nobody in their right mind would be salty about not looking like >>8868223 or especially >>8868234
Its just gross, but I can understand why a fat sympathizer would need to defend themselves by calling others salty.

I mean ALOTT
>>8890073
Is there any solid proof either way?
>>8890095
Check the shoulders first
>>8890062
The character they are cosplaying is fat though. They don't have pig snouts. I'm not a fat sympathizer, I'm a human being who can tell when someone else is being a dick out of insecurity. Most people are cosplaying for fun anyways not to fit into some mold that people like you set as acceptable. If they were overweight cosplaying Pearl I would understand your discomfort, but you're angry because these "fat people" finally have a character they can cosplay as and connect to that isn't drawn in a funny or disgusting manner. I think it makes you mad that these overweight woman are dressing like a beautiful character and you can't criticize their weight in the costume because the character itself is literally a giant woman who wears an XXL. Salty. You are Salty. Fritos level salty.
>>8890097
Solid proof =/= someone having masculine shoulders, though.
>>8890108
agreed. I have a similar body type as the photo, but with slightly larger chest. Because my arms are so thin and lanky my bones pop out and give me very manly looking shoulders. it doesn't mean she's a he.
>>8890108
I've also seen the photo on trap threads so really it's borderline
>>8879433
Wait, why does it matter that it's from a Captain America mold? I don't see how him using that as a base to make it matters all that much. If more people did this we wouldn't have all those lumpy ass, uneven shields that people like to boast about.

>>8888772

>>8890149
it matters because you can see the ridges that are from the captain america shield, which roses' shield doesn't have. and this isn't something new- i've seen a ton of stevens and roses simply paint over a captain america shield because they're easy to get ahold of from a costume store.
>>8890181
If anyone bothered to fill the ridges, which would be easily doable, it'd be fine, though
>>8890101
Are you capable of an actual rebuttal other than hurling lel saly XDDDDD like every other 12 year old on Tumblr? The meme died ages ago, you're in /cgl/; everyone here criticizes someone without jealousy needing to be a factor. You sound like someone who never let go of that dated mindset.
>>8890475
I guess I thought the word salty was a better descriptor than "being an overly judgmental bitch, just to be an overly judgmental bitch" my apologies anon, clearly critizing others the way you did never comes from insecurity.
>>8868333
I'm pretty sure I know that Steven irl
I'm planning on making a Limb-Enhancer Peridot and I was wondering how I should do the fingers. I'll already be working on an articulated hands for another cosplay and was wondering if I should try that with peridot as well. That way my actual hands would be in the limb enhancers and the proportions would look better.
>>8890899
iirc the most popular peridots on here made the limbs as regular length sleeves, and wore black gloves with green cylinders stuck on each finger. mostly on the basis that it is really hard to go around all day with no access to hands. what is the other cosplay?
>>8891081
My other cosplay is Yozakura from Senran Kagura >>8882662 I'm not too worried about not having access to hands because my boyfriend has already agreed to helping me out with my lack of hands. And I feel like having some articulation would be better than the floating fingers some peridots do.
> $20
>>8891154
what what a nice peridot. love the sheen of the suit
My measurements are 90/70/99 cm b/w/h (64 kg, 173cm tall).
How much padding should I do for Jasper? My biceps are only 29cm around and I don't want to make them look punier than the are by playing up my chest or hips too much. I also don't want to pad my arms because I don't think convincing muscle shapes are doable in my time frame (3weeks) and I do have some muscle definition that I don't want to cover up.
However I do have latex and foam so if anyone has any good muscle suit tutorials I'm open to that too. Thanks!

>1000
Christ, I wouldn't pay more than 60 for that. You can get better ones on Etsy for about 100, and that's with custom molds, not reused captain america shit
>>8896492
Maybe the $1000 Rose cosplayer will want it. Double the price must mean double the attention!
>>8896557
I still can't get over that price. I know it's because she went for GLW wigs (which aren't even the right color), but I would die if I spent that kind of money and still ended up with a wrinkly cotton dress that isn't even connected at the waist, and has the dumb fabric star that every low-budget Rose does.
>>8895861

I'm that bad atm, but I'm not trying to sell my pieces of shit.

Everybody has to start somewhere. But yeah, at least you're not trying to sell it.
People like that are the reason why regresty existed.
Daily reminder that Rose supposed to has flat belly and a body reminiscent of a female heavy weights lifter, not a whale.

Daily reminder that stupid people don't know how to form basic sentences.
>Supposed to has flat belly
>>8906496
Reminder that Rose was also super preggers at one point.
>>8906501
Fully admit at being stupid and fucking up that sentence
In my defense - English is not my first language, but yeah, that was quite embarrassing.
I suppose calling people whales was also pretty imature and uncalled for, even if it's 4Chan
I just wanna see a cute bearmode Rose in my lifetime, man

posting favorite rose body for the upteenth time. i think she may have been a bit more muscular during the the war, but definitely is softer than jasper. not flabby and untoned, but maybe some pounds of padding on top of muscle.
>>8906739
they're all rocks projecting a physical form. muscle and 'pounds of padding' sounds really stupid. also that rose is terrible please stop self posting no one cares
>>8907333
it's the only way i can describe how i see her figure. and it's not selfpost- i'm not fond of her actual cosplay, but her body is nice for rose. you're getting angry for no reason
