hey /cgl/ this me cosplaying as my cat rupert, who is on my shoulder for reference.Does anyone else here cosplay as their pet, or have tips on how to cosplay more like a cat without looking like a furry?
>>10829358Awesome to see rupert happy as usual, as a cat lover myself, I'm glad he's being cared for by someone so loving.There was a video I saw of you posting a torrent of photo's of rupert.Would you still have the magnet link? I can't seem to find it and the one in the video has bits cut out.
>>10909011Just leave the thread and go to another you braindead retard.This isn't the only thread on the board, you inbread vaginal belch.
>>10909145Spamming is against the rules
>>10829358You could do a tail, ears, and paw gloves. I think drawing on a nose and whiskers works be good too.I think that's probably the limit before you look like a furry.If you do those giant paw shoes that's furry territory.Post the costume with upgrades once they're completed
>>10909145your posts would be deleted anyway
May 17-19, 2024Are you going for the whole weekend?What are you cosplaying?Is your cosplay done or are you con crunching?Are you hosting a panel or working a booth?Going to the rave?Favorite part of the con?Any other activities you’re looking forward to?

Any Bocchi cosplay groups/meet ups? It's our (my husband and I's) first time and he's dressing up as Nijika. We'd love to meet a band! Have weekend passes.

>>10913852I'm 40, anon, so you can feel safe in the knowledge that someone there is older than you. And yeah, you'll have a good time! Whatever you like out of your con experience (I'm there for the panels and DH, others go for the costumes, others for the gaming, etc), it's got something for you.
>>10913852I'm almost 40 and so is my wife. Go get fucked up and have fun. Unless you're being a creep no one cares how old you are.
When did anime conventions in the west become pride events?
>>10913626this is only half true. there are a lot of genuinely compelling yuri series out there, but most of them never get translated or even scanned. the yuri that actually makes it to the western audience is the stuff that appeals to larger demographics instead.
>>10913662Yeah, I really wish that the "blanket popular" stuff wasn't made for such obvious reasons- I do totally acknowledge the subset of genuine lesbian relationship manga that is out there, completely inaccessible to our weeb eyes.
>>10913626as a yurifag, i'd say it's only somewhat true.you have the stuff you're talking about, but i'd argue that's less about fetishization and more just girls only casts are more otaku friendly, since otakus get triggered by men being around their waifus.you have 2 side of yuri really, the CGDCT anime like you're talking about, where it's just overly cute. and then you have the more lgbt heavy romance side of things, and there's a spattering of random generic romance in the middle as well.you do have plenty of yuri artists like takemiya jin that does tend to go heavier on the actual gay culture of japan, and most other long term yuri artists have written works or talked about their experiences with it.the CGDCT sometimes dabbles in actually going gay, but the vast majority of the time it's just some flirty lines and girls being cute so that nobody gets triggered about used goods or whatever.
>>10905743Gay stuff has always been at cons in some way, but there was definitely a point when it went from "LGBT things welcome" to being a pride event like you said. I remember going to A-Kon in 2018 (the last year when they were at the FWCC which was GOATed but also bankrupted them); the con is in June during pride month and that was the first con where I definitely noticed a ton of people running around with pride flags, so I'd say 2018 is when they became pride events. But I also haven't seen too many pride things at cons after the lockdowns ended, so looks like they also stopped being pride events in 2021.>>10905964Ahegao prints died because they were a stupid fad to begin with. No one outright banned them, people just realized they were cringe.>>10905985>They openly sell porn at consIt's getting harder to find at cons from what I've seen, but I think it's less about NSFW things being banned and more that it's a demand issue (why buy doujins when I can just read them or torrent them?). It's also one of the reasons why there are fewer vendors selling anime DVD/blurays.>>10906337>>10906386>the facebook and tumblr boogeymen (boogeytheys?)
>>10913847yeah, i think doujin became less popular when scanlations became more common place. no one buys hard copy porn if you can find a scan online for free.

i dunno when drawthreads tapered off here but i periodically check back and there just never is one. so ill be the change I want to see in the world. post coords for me to draw, thank you. (and other artists too of course)
>>10908258your style is so neat! looks very polished, love italso pls post coords gulls, i want to draw
Stay on the board; I'm actually drawing now.

I wasn't expecting to get even more drawings, I'm lucky :) They're both ver prettyI had said before that I'd like to draw a bit too but couldn't make the time for it. I will try to do it now. I think all of the coords posted here have already been drawn at least once so pls post some more! If anyone has a picture with a pretty background or interesting pose, I'd like to practice drawing those but otherwise I'm still happy drawing a regular coord shot! It might take me a few days to get to it but I'll try to do at least one!
imagine this but kumyas. can a drawgull make it happen?

Old thread is nearing its limit >>10790295This thread is for ouji and aristocrat (aka "boystyle") discussion. "Boystyle" is shorthand for "boystyle lolita" and refers to the masculine counterparts of Japanese lolita and, often, aristocrat fashions. There is a lot of overlap between these styles, and different people use different terms to describe them. We usually just use "ouji" here.>Shopping spreadsheetThis is broken, now.

>>10841915Ooh, boy had to do some digging to find pictures of it. The first cosplay I did was one of the masked mercenaries from Atlantis the lost empire. The mask was heavy, uncomfortable, and near impossible to see out of. I nicknamed it the boiler suit for how ridiculously hot it was.

>>10912964no, unfortunately my friend who did this cosplay with me in the past has moved away recently. so I was a lone-soldier this time. If i had to choose, i always thought of myself as cosplaying yuu because i am tall and european. not short and japanese/asian like chi. Also my helmet is more similar to yuu's (see photo, I only have this one blurry photo showing my full cosplay, I'm there to enjoy the con rather than take photos so i don't bother taking any usually, but then regret it)I'd love to get an arisaka rifle for this cosplay. (dis-armed of course) although people have difficulty getting such things through security even though they are allowed by their rules.>>10912753this anon didn't come and say hello :( i can only assume you were too intimidated by my alpha-chad aura, have no fear, i am a benevolent commander.
>>10913128FUCKI saw you at the end of the day and it didn't click ;_; I should have kept a picture to hand to remind myself of what to look out forI'm sorry anon!
>>10913137keklook out for me next time, i am going to keep doing this cosplay untill i get to speak to someone who recognises it properly. a few guys have recognised it at past conventions but for whatever reason i couldn't speak to them properly at the time.It's kinda weird seeing thier clothes irl (chi& yuu's) becuase ... it's literally just milsurp. just a normal oldschool soldier. i think only really the symbol and pack are identifiably different, and even they look like a medic's cross and an old british army pack from WW1 (my friend who works in army surplus even mistook it for one!)When and where did you see me? sat or sun?
>>10913146Ah, my bad on the late reply anonI saw you towards the end of Sunday as things started to quiet down in the vendor hall - I saw the cross on your helmet/uniform and for some reason my brain decided it was a fallout thing instead of the actual honest-to-god symbol that GLT uses...As an aside, did you think the vendor hall was a bit meh for such a big con? Artists alley was TINY compared to AL manchester last monthI'll be at Animecon in Birmingham this june and some other ones too. If you're going to those I promise I'll look out properly!
>>10913653vendor hall was pretty good imho, about average, some good things caught my eye though and i ended up spending a lot, so maybe it was above average.feel like it was better pre-covid, as all things were, but it was above 5/10 this year.>Artists alley was TINY compared to AL manchester last monthmay well have been, it was in the other building, yeah? I tend not to spend much time there, fewer things which interest me there.in my experience anime-specific conventions have a big artists alley in general.
ive like never cosplayed b4 at all nd i LOVE stocking SO MUCH but i have no idea where to get the outfit and stuff… everywhere online is so expensive and/or just shitty material. would i be better off making it myself? im not sure how 2 go about it lol XD
I cosplay one of the only Garterbelt's you will ever see.It's great, always have big bop off, even better with groups.

>>10913524With lolita fashion being an expensive hobby, it makes sense that the 20 tier is unpopular because even a pair of brand socks cost 35 without shipping, so it's stressful trying to think of a gift that feels worthwhile enough. Maybe a higher jump between tiers would work better (Card - 50 - 100) for good-faith participants, but that could attract grinches like you said. It's a tough decision.As for no feedback, there could be a disclaimer on the sign-up form that if there's not a suitable match who is ok with it then you may be bumped to the lower tier. That leaves some room for organizer discretion if a participant does have a history of participation but also some questionable behavior then the organizers can tell that individual there was no suitable match and observe their behavior in the lower tier another year.
>>10913524I've only participated int he SS once, several years ago, but would like to again and I think Card - $50 - $100 makes the most sense.
>>10913576the $20 tier wasn't so bad since non lolitas joined. one of my matches was just a cosplayer so i filled the bag with snacks and smaller merch items. but i could definitely see it being a problem if it was only lolitas. my match was a lolita, but she really spoiled me, and while i love that i wouldn't want anyone to feel obligated to spend more than the requirement. maybe we could limit the $20 tier to non lolita participants? then again, a lot of the card tier gifts look far more than $20 worth of items.
>>10913621i'd agree to this. a few years ago i did a $20 tier and matched with a lolita and she sent me some craft fair wooden normie hair clips that i threw out. i'm not a brand whore either. those generic taobao ribbon clips would have been better. the issue is the board is dying so participation in general is lower. i kind of think we should open up literally all tiers to basically anyone, have them do a quiz/survey and just make sure the number of new participants has enough grinch relief. these events always have a chance of people grinching, but the spirit of them is giving, not receiving so i think with the state of the board it's silly to have extra requirements still.
>>10913640we didn't have any grinches this year, which feels like a positive sign.
I was wondering if I ever make a cosplay, I firstly understand what makes it bad. Even if I dress properly, make up, good wig, I feel like it would look bad anyway. I was wondering if it is something else, like face structure or just being ugly. Also not talking about cosplays that don't match body build or those that want to look bad ironically.
>>10908471>There are also simple changes you can do to your face that makes a big difference towards looking more like another race. One is "Asian eyes" (monolids) versus "Western eyes" ("epicanthal folds"). Anyone can have either one of these, all you need to do is fold your eyelids a different way and then hold them in place with eyelash glue.Nah, this doesn't fly in the cosplay circles
Another cool thing would to see how other people have fixed or redone their old shitty cosplays
>>10910062Free drugs sounds good to me.
>>10910840 They won’t be free brother. Trust.
>>10910182It flies in the non-cosplay makeup circles, so dunno why it wouldn't work with cosplay. It's just an alternative or addition to certain types of eye makeup. For example if you want 〜anime eyes desu〜 including Brock eyes or huge shoujo eyes, refolding your eyelid can help create the appearance of a bigger or smaller eye, as well as change how deep your eyebrow ridge seems. I think most people don't talk about it because it's mainly done by Asian women and half-racial people.
