reviving bc the previous thread from a while ago got nukedwhat's everyone's thoughts on cosplay photography in 2024/the foreseeable future? it seems like the amount of bullshit we have to put up with as photographers in the cosplay scene only increases day by day and the cons outweigh the pros
Then stop doing it, it sounds like it's making you unhappy.
If you don't like cosplay photography then don't do it anymore!don't do it anymore!don't do it anymore!
Any gals here?
>>10914820Nayrt, is ageha still publishing?
>>10914805hmm i wonder if i'm specifically talking about the gyaru community that is *gasp!* online. don't answer shit you don't have an answer for next time.
>>10914805Oh you're one of these. You realize that tanning for cosplay is banned at cons right? You can get kicked out for it. Online shit seeps into real life especially in smaller circles.
>>10913436definitely one of the most horrid jfash out there together with stdecora
>>10914805it's not 2012 anymore anon, this weaponized autism affects real life now. people on tiktok especially gas themselves up with this mob mentality shit and actually do assaultive things in real life to people they think are "appropiating" shit.
Anyone goindo you like itidkfk how to post
ACEN is currently on-going right now?
>>10914798I think I'm gonna go, don't know anything about it. It's gonna be my first con but I don't have high expectations.
>>10914798>>10914809>>10914838Great start, lads.
Do you guys ever like to go through YouTube and watch con and cosplay fandom videos from before the 2010's?It's a hobby of mine. It makes me sad.https://youtu.be/vc2Zj1C_uKY
>>10911012This is actually one on my favorites. Don't ask why. I got hundreds of photos. Very few are any good. But a few are interesting.
>>10866338It was a better time.Normies ruin everything.Can't stomach any local cons now, full of OF girls filling the walkways making tiktoks to promote their socials.Hate it.
>>10911013Nice hoodie

growing up sucks. day in day out it’s just work work work fake smile hold in the autistic tendencies be normie. I wish I was actually autistic so I could neet off your mom chat
I cosplayed as the fnf nigger pedo
Thoughts on how I could improve it?
In December last year I bought some blue contact lenses for a convention. I didn't use them because I didn't have time to put them on. I want to cosplay any character (I don't mind cross-dressing) with blue eyes so I can use the blue contact lenses and the money I spent on them does not go to waste.
a couple characters in .hack//sign or the .hack// saga in general with blue eyes
johan liebert and anna liebert from monster have blue eyes
several characters in geneshaft with blue eyesalso in a lot of anime, eyes change from blue to purple depending on the scene
>>10914063Whatever this is. It's adorable.
>>10914063
Post cosplays you're working on, plan to work on, or want feeback on, and motivate each other. Let's get back to our roots and away from the softcore porn, or at the very least survive alongside it.
>>10914638>>10914777forgot to add. yes this costume is 100% fabric glue lol
>>10914638update: tried lighter. the fabric burns and disappears instantly, i would not be able to control it
I don’t really feel like modifying finished and stretched pants since resewing stretch fabric is a paint in the ass but I need suggestions for getting 12mm attached to fabric. I will be reusing the paints for other cosplays since it’s a two piece body suit. Anyone got any ideas on how to attach “floating” parts efficiently
>>10914791you don't hold it to the frays directly, hold it a little bit away from it so that it gets hot and curls in. look up a youtube video on it
doing last minute plate armor. canvas panels with slits cut in them, i push the fabric strips through and fold them so i dont need to use up any more fabric glue. >>10914813i'm almost blind, tried and i cant do it, the risk of burning a hole in the costume is too great. if i have time after the whole rest of the costume is done i'll try to figure something out
I lost my nail inspo folder on my old pc so I'm starting with a mini dump in hopes of other anons dumping as well :)
Scrotes are too sensitive to handle the concept that not everything is meant for them. Nothing new. Now back to our regularly scheduled program
>>10913689these are very good though>t. scroteok gulls, I know you're too sensitive I won't bother you again for a few days
>>10913689>when you stab someone with your nails
Does anyone order nails from specific places? I know a lot of people like to make their own, but I was wondering if there were also gulls with favorite press-ons.
who's going? what are you going as?this'll be my first con since like 2007.
>>10909171wait a minute.they're hosting all of the cons on the same floor?I was under the assumption that they would be taking place in different sections of the building. What the fuck?
>>10914431Short answer is YESThe main stage at the very top of the map is shared by all of the main events of these 3 cons. Anime Impulse is basically just vendors mingled with K-Pop vendors. They have very little programming of their own, just a place for fans to gather and create their own fun. Also 2 dozen Vtuber guests because they take up no space, just a monitor.The con is also using the rest of the 4th floor, including the outdoor park space. At least weather is decent enough in May that it's likely not incredibly rainy or windy or cold like at Sakura-Con.
>>10914431it's actually a fairly small event. all of their "road show" versions are like this. that's why they're able to have so many of them across the country.
>>10914431crap. i was so blindsided by that it was gonna be my first con in over 10 years that i missed this fact. i hope the people there are awesome because between the travel, hotel, cosplay, tickets and food i am paying way too much for this thing...
I'm local and I paid $300ish for 3 tickets a single night at a hotel. (I'm going with my husband and brother) I'm hoping it's at least decent. We're doing dumb ass dungion meshi costumes so it should go over well?
Looks suspiciously the previous OP pic but with a new account
>>10914447The "and" was for the fact that these people exist. Try to learn reading comprehension.
Has anyone ever had closetchild send you a completely different item than you ordered?
>>10914716This happened to 2 people in my comm, so yes.
>>10914716Not CC specifically but one of their sister shops, yes. They refunded me and let me keep what I was sent rather than exchanging it.
>>10913645>I don’t think a lot of you guys appreciate how good you have it with LM compared to the old LJ sales. If LM didn’t exist we’d probably be stuck with the terrible user experience of Facebook sales groups like a lot of other hobbies.This so much. Lm is godsent
How come there are no western cosplays of the lovely Katsugano siblings, but only Asian ones?
new larp threadNow with 87,45% more polearms and a little bit of hydrophobiaprevious thread>>10813669
>>10914264>>10914353I sold off some gme and made like $1600. Probably just gonna order the chow set and some extras like Pic related
>>10914422That looks retarded, and most games will make you remove the glass bottles.
>>10914481Meant to tag >>10914472
>>10914422Got some hits on that but they were all being sold in the US for some reason :(My options seem to be between thesehttps://www.epicmilitaria.com/german-wachbataillon-jackboots.html ("made in UK", might be china tho)https://www.militarysurplus.eu/product-eng-16429--German-High-Boots-Wachbataillon-Used.html (Mil-tec)https://www.asmc.com/boots-leather-jackboots-black?number=23181 (Mil-tec)https://www.militarysurplus.eu/product-eng-40149-GERMAN-SAFETY-BOOTS-WITH-STEEL-TOE-CAP-USED.html (surplus)I need a solid weatherproof complement to my actual medieval/larp shoes, which ones should I choose?
>>10914472Ehhhh... I hate it personally, and >>10914481 is right about the bottles.>>10914731I'll be honest, I also hate them all. They look way too aggressively modern to my eye, but it's your call. I would suggest probably dubbing and polishing your medieval shoes, and wearing proper wool stockings with them. And not standing in water. In the end, it's your decision and money.Pic Are my 15th century boots, freshly dubbed with hot beeswax, before being polished. Watertight, and keeps them in good condition. Another good option is clogs for pattens for your medieval shoes.
Less than a month away, time for a generalAnyone going? Got any plans? Any parties planned?
>>10914697I'll be Ness from Earthbound, Ethan Winters from Resident Evil and Peppino from Pizza Tower!Also neat! I saw a server a while ago but there was nobody in it. It was hard to find a lot of people talking about the con.
>>10914704the con has been a dud for the past few years because of the drawn out covid bullshit this is the first year they actually have some good international guests again
>>10914709I get that, that was pretty much most cons for the past few years. I typically went to Fanime for the longest time but that cons been actively going to shit, so I opted to go with a friend to this instead, I might do Anime North or Momocon later on down the line, I just wanted to see each one first. I'm glad there's even any guests at all for that matter.
>>10914723I go to AZ because I live 30 minutes from Raleigh and I know a few people who also go every yearnever been to another con
>>10914741That was me with Fanime partially, I live near San Jose and I used to know a ton of people who went, now because of the previous reasons mentioned it's not really worth it for me anymore.Plus I just wanna see something different, going to the same thing always is a bit tiresome.
Just wanted to share the cosplays I completed last year
>>10914373I can't tell if you're the real deal or some degen playing pretend, but easy test:What ribbons were you handing out at Katsu this year?
>>10914392The cute ones!But in all seriousness how am I supposed to remember such a small detail like that!?
>>10914467Oof, it is a degen. They were hololive ribbons to match the hololive cosplay. Plus I doubt the actual cosplayer would be on here when acen is happening rn.
On a separate note, the katsu 4chan meetup was cool.
>>10831480Just got done ripping my cock off to the one on the right, think I'll try left next or maybe 2nd from left
Anime North is only a month away, anyone else going but not buying a ticket this year?
>>10914915as opposed to the states??!
>>10914935I know everyone is fat there, but is it really celebrated?
>>10914762sometimes but I loath talking to people who *only* watch anime
>>10914762I do but only mecha
>>10914812AX is much more worth this then this "literal who" con. Fuck driving there tho, that would take forever from around these parts
