I want to go to AnimeCon Birmingham in June. Last year was the first time it was held and it was pretty good. The friend I usually go to cons with cant go though and I don’t think I’d enjoy it if I went alone
I’m excited for koko next week!
>>10906179>just nabbed off another websitethis one?https://animecons.com/events/schedule.php?year=2024&loc=ukI'm going to liverpool comic con in may, most of the cast of red dwarf are going to be there and the hobbits! not that i go for the famous names but it's kinda fun to glimpse actors in real life. might bring some other anons, don't know if the other lads can make it though.
>>10906595Yeah. Years ago I would have just known, now not so much. I met Chris Barry from red dwarf at one of those comic cons.

So for yall making jewelry, where do you get your UV resin and pigment?Im done using the shit aliexpress stuff. The bottles i ordered just wont cure no matter how long i leave it under the lamp, and if it does, it has a sticky oily residue.
>>10902190i generally hate these kinds of spoonfeeding questions so please do research elsewhere before asking anymore questions since UV resin info is literally all over the entire internet. short answer is, you're using the resin wrong. resin doesn't cure properly in higher wattage lamps, LED lamps especially. many LED lamps don't have the correct wavelength to cure the outer layer and you get what's known as oxygen inhibition, which is corrected with no-wipe nail gel topcoat ( nail gel is another form of resin) you should use ideally be using a traditional UV lamp, but you can use a max of a 48 watt LED lamp and cure slowly to get a good cure. also don't use that "alcohol inking" method because it actually does affect the structure of the resin, despite claims otherwise.
What should you wear when you’re tableing?Of course it would be something comfy to sit in for long hours.Do cosplay or fancy coords attract more customers and engagement?But I have an unfortunate face, should I wear a mask? One of these, or even a kig or fur mask?Just asking because I’ve never tabled before, and don’t want to look gross.Of course, the main thing that customers see is the art and goods for sale.
>>10903767Overall, wear what you want.Cosplays or coordinates do draw attention. Especially if your table has that specific fandom or you have some j-fashion stuff. People are probably not going to come up to you only because you're in a cosplay or j-fashion. They're going to look at your display first. What you're wearing can be a topic of discussion.I would only wear a mask if you're concerned with getting sick or you're at the con and you feel a bug coming on. People aren't going to care about your face. They're going to care about your art and products. I find masks put a barrier between communication, simply because of audio processing issues and loud vendor halls. So I prefer to go without one unless it's a need. I keep masks stashed in my tabling supplies, but I honestly hate trying to communicate with customers while wearing them.
Thinking of getting a Canon G3620 Pixma Megatank to print stickers and stuff, anyone have any experience with this printer?
Old thread hit bump limit>tfw you find out that the Chainsaw Man character your bf convinced you to cosplay is famous for not wiping or flushing when she shits.
>>10906608Pure_Rae
>>10906627Ah yes, thanks, I saw that too.
Holy shit...we're still NINE MONTHS out, but I think I'm gonna have to say it for the third time in a row. If you're at ColossalCon North, have a good time without me

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
>>10889951Ok where is it though
>>10903021ask trigger.
>>10897155can't find this anywhere. more?
>>10906636Do you have the name of this person or set?
When did anime conventions in the west become pride events?
>>10906557Eating cereal with water instead of milk isn't legally protected. I need a month, flag and a parade about it.
>>10906568So what you are saying is that you want them sucking and fucking in public to a nice backing instrumental track?
>>10906574that part was a joke I ain’t no stinky fujoshi. but if I was working a booth I’d be screaming out catchy slogans like I was selling counterfeit goods at the night market while side eyeing my compilation. “Come (out of the closet) and join our booth!” “Don’t join those guy and dress like a dweeb. Join us and look fabulous.” I’d probably google some better stuff to shout out but you get the point
>>10906557Every state banned sodomy, while most states have repealed them some states still have it in their laws even though it's unconstitutional and now unenforced.It's not a hard thing to Google.There were also federal laws regarding it
ive never been to a con before. considering going to one. what can i expect other than the obvious lack of social skills and personal hygiene. pic unrel.
Taking place April 27th-28th we're just over a month away, are any of you guys planning on going? Anyone returning from last year, or planning on going for their first time this go-around? Cosplay plans? C'mon let's hear 'ya out.
I went last year and had a lot of fun! Bought quite a bit of cool stuff and went in (admittedly a bit shabby) cosplay both days. And I'll be going this year as well. I've been working on a better-looking cosplay for this year, so hopefully it pans out, and I'll be taking a custom Fumo I made as well.
I was the thread OP last year and went as Tenshi eating a corndog. Unfortunately I don't think I'll make it this time but enjoy. Also cheers to the guy who took my card info but never charged for the ticket
ITT: We post pictures of cosplay from the 90's or early 2000's.
>>10886605ngl i’m actually wonderin’ if that cosplayer was either paid to dress up s chun-li or if she did it out of her owl free will
not sure how early in the 2000’s this is but
>>10897885Oh my god I had forgotten about Man Faye for the past 20 years. What’s he up to now? Is he a tranny now?

I think the pokemon dance video posted by alice was pretty cute. we need more videos like this in the community
>>10906320i think the point is the word hobby doesn't have the negative connotations you're giving it and anyone claiming it's "not just a hobby" is taking things too seriously the other direction. cosplay is a hobby and many people spend heaps of time and money on it. instead of vilifying the word vilify bad attitudes. groups that are only motivated by lofty goals are the ones who will ruin the community after a while when they realize they're not possible because they will leave. personal growth is more important overall than pretending this will lead anywhere.
im so jealous of mimi being on a team with kira
i dont understand the competition between a lot of groups, at the end of the day all of u are bad so why fight about it
>>10906609THISSS!!!!
