Last weekend we conducted 4chan PMQ/Q&A #3, with 1400 people contributing 4500 posts over 22 hours. I managed to spend the better part of a day answering as many questions as possible—thread here.
Since loading large threads can be a bit of a pain on slower computers, you can also see my replies from the /q/ index (hover over the "Administrator Replies" quotelinks).

Thanks to everyone who asked questions and participated!

I think 6 or 7 or 8
>How many days are you going?
Whole weekend
>Who are you going as?
Not sure yet, been busy so I might just re-use a costume or wear lolita. I'm a really last-minute planner anyways.
>Who are you most excited to see?
I'm not super into the guests but I'm always happy to see any lolita comm girls
>>
>How many times have you been?
Once
>How many days are you going?
Whole weekend awwww yeah
>Who are you going as?
Not sure, completely, maybe Doctor Insano, Rainbow Dash, Akaranger, but definitely Cubone
>Who are you most excited to see?
Just the cosplayers. Dem cosplays man.
>>
>How many times have you been?
this will be my second time at this con
>How many days are you going?
whole weekend. We live close enough to drive up every day.
>Who are you going as?
Just finished my Ornstein armor for anime boston (4 days away!) and since it took a good amount of time and materials, I'll probably be suiting up in it again.
>Who are you most excited to see?
Anything really. Just a fun gathering of (usually) like minded people and a chance to wear our crafted gear in a socially appropriate setting.

I have it. But I have shaky fingers on any graphic tablet - fuck, my hand shakes even on paper. So, no samples from me.
I like how the driver actually works. Because the wacome pressure sensitivity never, ever worked for me. And with that, I am content. Anyway, I'm too broke for the intuous
>>
>>6851111
Not that anon, but also curious about a monoprice: the pen is battery-operated, right? How does the pen compare to a wacom's? I have a (really old) graphire that still works, but I might need to replace it soon.
>>
>>6851106
yeah? a kigurumi onesie
>>
>>6851124
>battery-operated
yes it is.
>size
monoprice pen is thicker, longer and slightly heavier though imo i find the weight negligible.
my previous personal tablet was graphire 4. but i have access to intuos 3s in school (of which they're 50% fucked up because the students treat them like shit)
>>
>>6851154
Are there multiple keys on the pen to make it easier to change functions and whatnot? I'm really interested in getting it, but I've gotten used to the wacom's eraser feature and I'm afraid I'd give up on a pen that didn't have it.

sage for off-topic.

Yeah, I'm an Ausfag so I expect pretty dumb rules for weapons. I figure a baseball bat is a safe bet because it's easy and isn't overtly a weapon at all.
>>
>>6849311

Can't go wrong with the bat.

In terms of props, I'm planning on buying a really broken down outdated phone from like a charity good store like Goodwill, or something.. and find a way to temporarily stick it against walls for pictures.

The phone idea is pretty damn good, I like it.

Feel free to do it yourself too, buddy.

When I did my pyramid head cosplay, I hung the thing outside on a tree and went at it flinging a paintbrush around.

Not the best Shana I've ever seen, but props to her for obviously putting effort into it! I wish the armor had some kind of metallic look, maybe with some distressing too instead of just being so stark and white.

>>6850834
Mhmm, no doubt it could be improved further. I don't think she's a pro cosplayer but it does get updated so hopefully metallic finish in the near future!
>>
>>6850265
It was really well made! I got to see it up close and she put a lot of time and effort into the details on the armour pieces. The wings were well-attached and sturdy, and she had a good choice in materials.

didn't want to start a new thread, and figured this would be the place to ask.

Does anyone know how to get wrinkles out of a racing suit? it's been hanging up in the closet for over a week to no avail. the tag says not to iron. it says the outer shell is 100% polyamide if that makes any difference
>>
>>6851115
If you can't iron it, you might be able to just steam it instead. Hang it up in your bathroom so that it's completely hanging free, and take a long, hot shower. That should help a little. I'm not familiar with the material but I did some quick research on it and it seems like a little water won't hurt it.

One week till Hammy. Ready?

Bump

I've been thinking for a while about making a cnz help/resource tumblr? Was thinking about including where to buy things in nz, online store reviews/recommended online stores, tutorials (with products that actually exist in nz), and links to nzers cosplay blogs etc?
idk good/bad idea? yes/no? (pls respond)

Mostly thought about making it since everyone seems to always be asking how do wig etc questions, annndd I also like helping people.

Would also have general sewingwig etc tutorials I guess! Probably basic things/more sewing concentrated then anything else. (I had a better way of formulating my ideas into words before and now I can't remember)
>>
>>6851019
I think that's a cool idea! Although I'm really bad at actually going on tumblr, lol.

As for progress - not going to Hammy, don't want to try and get two weeks in a row off from work, haha. So I've got two weeks left. I should hopefully get done, nearly finished my bodice (Peachykeen) need to make the sleeves and collar. And then finish the waistskirt and make the half skirt. I can't decide if it's heaps to do or not, haha.
>>
>>6851019
theres a wiki up somewhere on the forum?

i like this idea, though, it might be good just to blog resources on cnz's tumblr instead of making a whole new one
>>
>>6851143
I know about the wiki but no one ever really seems to talk/link about it/update it?

I'm gonna guess there were multiple, because while I couldn't see her face, she definitely had the figure for Tharja.

How was it? Good variety of characters? Lots of people?
>>
>>6851108
>Good variety of characters?
Four Marths (two real marths, two Lucinas), two Sorens (but one each from PoR and RD), a Hector, an Eliwood that I loaned an extra sword to and a Ninian, a Titania that came halfway through, and a Tharja.
It was pretty entertaining, there was a decent amount of characters there I suppose so we got a few neat shots, though could've been more. I know I saw another Donny and a Panne on Friday, and I guess there must've been another Tharja too.

Haven't seen any uploads of the shoot, though, so I'd definitely be interested if anyone has one.

Invest in shelves. I've seen people use bookshelves from IKEA as both a place to put things and also as a sort of room divider. Just make sure it's okay freestanding- wouldn't want it to fall over on you in your sleep. Also either get a short chest of drawers for your closet. When everything is hanging, there's usually a good 2 feet of space from the ground up to the hems if your dresses. That's a good place to keep undies and socks and whatnot, small clothing articles.

Wall hooks will be your best friend.

>>
>>6851132
Agreeing with this anon. A lot of beds now have underneath storage as well. Or you can go the bunk bed route, and use the space underneath for something else. Hopefully your ceilings are at a decent height.

I dunno. There's less than 15 stories? Only a few of them were noteworthy. Everything else got derailed because of no-hugs girl up there, and I think everyone hates her.
