>>10913434>white: blue, green or gray eyes requried>thin>have big boobs and/or big ass>stream jap games.Peachmilky ticks all your boxes
>>10912995I'm so fucking tempted to go just to see her, Germany isn't even that far away from here.>>10913500she's not a vtuber tho. nta
>>10913513Anon what the fuck? Why does it matter if she's white, thin, with big ass and pretty eyes if you want a vtuber? Peachmilky has a vtuber model but it looks like a generic twitch vtuber not a hololive design made by an expensive professional artist
Any gals here?
gal is being ruined by zoomers. they legit hate everything it stands for and modern gal is just jp instathot shit like it was since 2015. there's no winning.
>>10913511Why do they have the need to constantly invade subcultures that are not meant for them? They're doing the same to menhera.
When did anime conventions in the west become pride events?
>>1091348470% of them trooned out and chopped their tits off to date other fakebois/tifs. unless you think they're just gay men now kek.
>>10913421>>10913327If women being attracted to women dressed like men are straightDoes that mean men being attracted to men dressed like women are straight?
>>10913501They took this from me...
>>10913501that still doesn't make them lesbians. if they're larping as men to fuck gay men that makes them straight women.
>>10913509>women larping as gay men to date other women larping as gay men>not lesokaaaay

>>10913492>tracking dirt and particles from the outside world throughout your home so your feet need protection, inevitably getting dirt and particles from the outside world everywhereanon, if the Japs have one thing right, it's leaving your shoes by the door. Wear some slippers for chrissakes
Are there usually day 0 parties at Acen?
>>10913506As in Thursday? There's always at least one, but you gotta Know a Guy. (I miss early-aughts ACEN when people would just put ads for room parties on a bulletin board)
>>10913506See >>10911318
Old thread hit bump limit.My comm president is having her 40th birthday tomorrow. Wtf, I would have guessed she was like 25, but she has 2 kids who both cosplay Sonic th Headgod chracter
I really, really, really miss being in college and going to the college anime club 2x a week; now I know no one and am alone.
>>10912317Jokes on you, I want to turn my current gf into a whore for other women and men
>>10913438OP is absolutely correct , people who have gone to cons for 10+ years know that the environment is toxic and friend groups keep to themselves to avoid drama. These friends you make in the cosplay scene will sell you out in a moments notice for a crumb of clout
>>10913249How many people actually cosplay in diapers?
>>10913471He's only correct about clout chasing cosplayers. The people who don't care about e-fame aren't a problem.
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.
I've slowly been chipping away at this Jhen Mohran set from MH Tri.What do you guys use for topcoat?Wore the Seregios set in pic for a couple days and the paint has gotten pretty bad in some places from rubbing.
>>10912682Got to do the tentacles tonight before work but it’s looking okay.
Monster hunter gear I'm making.
>>10913306Looks like it'll turn out perfect anon good work!
>>10911800>light air dry clayI think that did the trick; now I have to wait 3 days for it to harden. Hopefully I can sand with some fine grit.

Been workin on this since mid jan im in school but the staff wanted me to bring it in for the art show and now i get to use the stuff in the art room so i dont gotta pay for anything only spent around $60 on this and i think its turnin out well what do yall think?
>>10913414Looks great! Please work on your English and use punctuation and capitalization. Great cost and there is some solid detail in it.
>>10913414is that a muthafucking poska I see? Graffiti writer's favorite marker, just not the ink, the ink goes to the trash and you fill up with permanent inkand get one with a nice rectangular tip, that shit is beast you can paint on anything with it
>>10913414Excellent work.
>>10913414like anon said, some details are amazing, but the overall finishes aren't, you got skill for sure, but you gotta improve the finishing look, materials or whatever it is, you got it already, just improve it, 3D printing or whatever you need
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 :)
First attempt at nail art. I'm left handed so only the right hand is good. Also my first time posting and wtf are the captchas, I'm misspelling it the fifth time. I hate it here
>>10912961Those are gorgeous! I love the stained glass look. Can I ask what your process was for mapping that all out on the nails? Or did you kind of just dive into it?
>>10906818I had a set made for Jewelry Jelly

>>10913463ID on that OP?
>>10913488https://lolibrary.org/items/indie-queen-rose-lace-op
Foid here,I'm starting to think cosplaying is only worth it if you're attractive
>>10913155a lot of ftms these days made up something called transandrophobia which is just MRA shit for ftms
>>10836557Jessica isn't or wasn't particularly attractive though she was just thin and got a boob job later on
>>10913008You've never seen a married couple with children in public with the mom hugging the dad? Where do you live? Russia? Gotta be some slav non-whtie shit hole. Even in Africa women love their men.
>>10913008just because you grew up in a dysfunctional family and have a shitty personality not even a mother could love it doesn't mean women don't love men. if we take all violence on opposite gender, abandonment on sickness, hours spent on domestic chores statistics, I could go on forever. women do so much for men than men do for women on a daily basis. and most of the time they dont even acknowledge it. the most likely cause a pregnant woman can die is murdered by their partner and knowing that and the fact there are women out there still willing to date and marry men, you guys should be thankful.
You don't need to be overly attractive to cosplay in general, the costume/look just needs to be done well. However as a photographer I will say that shooting portraits/cosplay is absolutely 90% about how attractive you are. People don't understand how insanely easy it is when the subject is attractive. The less attractive, the more work you need to put into finding the persons good sides, helping them pose and stuff like that. Women at least have makeup to hard carry them.

>>10912873It's do-able but it's not going to be fun or easy. Essentially the way you make curves with fabric is by cutting out little triangles out of the fabric and then sewing the sides back together so that the fabric contorts. You'll have to do this a lot to get the fabric to lay right. >Are there patterns for just sewing over a sphere that's made of foam?Probably. A little google search wouldn't hurt. I don't have any specific resources to give you, but a furry has probably made some.>Any tips on keeping cool in a mascot head?Ask the furry overlords. Likely answer is a fan and time with the head off every once in a while.
>>10913447Yes. I truly didn't mean it in a snarky way, just info for the future to get you help faster
>>10913449What kind of jacket is she wearing anyway? I tried looking for cardigans but no apparent matches
>>10913450It looks like a cardigan, but the material also seems a bit stiff to bunch up the way it does. Cosplay websites seem to be interpreting it as a jacket. Could just be some anime clothing nonsense.
>>10913446I would recommend a white foundation mixer instead of bodypaint. Bodypaint tends to be super heavy and might not mix with foundations

>>10913133>>10913177Some people don't understand the differences between drag, crossplay, crossdressing and female impersonation. As anon said. They might not have intended an insult.
>>10913030>>10913124>>10913133>>10913208I didn't even get a look at the guy's face. Just someone rolling by really slowly in their car at night. I'm honestly not insulted, it was more amusing than anything else. Also most of the disapproving stares are from kids and the guys who see me in the bathroom are more likely to double take or crack a joke
>>10913208what do you mean>present as female
>>10913389Wearing unisex stuff or even slightly girl leaning stuff (pleated shorts and tights). I had a tiny bit of work done so a slight change of clothing and a bit of makeup makes a huge difference
>>10913406i'm too much of a bonehead to be a maneless lion
How come they’re never as cute as JP idols?
>>10912911Kinda weird, most groups started as cosplay groups
>>10913015>>10912911Even amuse were a cosplay group. So with cosplay cover groups we’d have none of the popular idols that we have
