Old one is autosaging. Post your questions, advice and tips, inspiration, and completed works/works in progress.Google document on resin: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15mrdnoKqy7csGQ7XhyFy_wXVnLUzKX0sd2agIvHDXVw/edit?usp=sharing
>>8899075two-part resin relies on a heat-activated chemical reaction. damp or cold conditions can fuck up the result, result in weird surfaces, fail to cure properly, etc. needs to be warm and dry for optimal results.which sucks here in soggy New England, where it's cold half the year, only dry when it's below freezing, and humid the rest of the time, cool or warm.
>>8898014I really want the mushroom one.
>>8899106Yuck that is rough. Does it have an effect on UV resin as well?
>>8899106Oh fuck, I just mixed a batch. Well, guess I'll have to wait and see if it goes to shit or not... and seeing as I'm in England, I don't think the results will be all that great.
>>8900587if you have a space heater or a really warm lamp, consider moving your pieces to cure near them! i am not an expert but i heard this is a way to help the process. or if it is humid, some people seal their projects in a container.i am a novice, but these are things i have considered trying based on what others have said they do.
>>8900527No, I meant that everytime there is a gyaru thread (not EVERY time but I digress) someone casually drops her name. It isn't usually bad from what I remember but I was just curious what was so special that people keep mentioning her. Didn't know if there was some odd drama or valentine thamemade folks keep dropping her name.
>>8900585Oh I see. This is actually the first gyaru thread ever in which I saw her mentioned. She was once into drama with some people on tumblr thorugh that gossipgyaru blog, but that's about 2years ago. Since then she improved a lot and in the last year she hasn't made up a single drama as far as I know.
>>8900575Ever heard about hime gyaru? Agejo gyaru? Get into the different styles first before doubting that you can't be a gyaru without a tan.

Old Canada thread is falling fast and Ontario should probably have its own thread given the weight of activity.Upcoming Cons:Toronto ComiconAd AstraAnime NorthAtomic Lollipop(???)ConBravoFanExpoOttawa Pop ExpoForest City ComicconAny cons, meetups, parties, etc fellow seagulls are hitting up?
>>8899337Bad in what way for the rave?
>>8899062Well, there's usually a gap during the day at AN where none of the panels you want to go to are happening, that lasts a few hours. Usually Saturday and Friday afternoon
>>8899246>You're not going to be a weak tea pissbaby and get upset because I talk about social issues too much / too intensely and police my tone and body language all day.wtf did i just read?!
>>8900409Linking from the help thread because fucking Quebec and this is pretty much a Canada general.
>>8899337>>8898728Makes sense. Thanks. I assume that there will be mtg drafts, right? Might want to do a couple of those as a break between con stuff
Yo isn't this coming up super soon? As in two weeks?Who is going?
>>8900521People hate on it because Youmacon, Jafax, Hell...even GoDaikocon are all in Michigan and much more pleasant shows. Shutocon is full of SJWs and Tumrlbrtard special snowflakes. Stef is the queen of those. Having known her for years I find it hilarious that she creates a "safe space" at her con, when after all of the shit she pulls at other cons (Like Colossalcon, Ohayocon, etc) she comes across as a huge fucking bully.
>>8900373The people replying here have 0 idea how she is to people behind the scenes haha. She's pretty evil, back stabby, and downright two faced. She puts on this SJW mask for the public, and treats people like they're beneath her behind closed doors. Her and her husband are a couple of self absorbed, scary sociopaths.
>>8900542>>8900539Hmm, I'll have to check those other ones out. Never been to Youma even though I live in Detroit now. Any examples of her bitchyness behind the scenes?
>>8900594She treats staff poorly. She will take ANYthing you say (jokingly, out of context, etc) and try to use it against you and turn you into the center of attention (negatively). She's the ultimate SJW/Bully. Don't try to give suggestions, don't ever second guess her, she'll twist your words and try to get entire groups of people to attack you (Her Shutocon page is known for this). She's just a bad person, and has burned a lot of bridges over the years. She's lost a lot of guests over her attitude and the way she treats people. She's a sociopath, only cares about herself and her money. Her SJW persona is just that, a mask. She tries so hard to make it look like she cares because she really doesn't, and bullies staff and people (her husband included) behind the scenes. But of course, you can treat everyone like complete garbage so long as you defend a weeaboo once every few months publicly. She humiliates 99 out of 100 people, but ignorant kids flock to suck her dick for the one cosplayer she defends in public. She's the ultimate manipulator. And she's only out for money at this point. Her whole "safe place" thing is a bunch of shit.
>>8900594Youmacon is great by the way. I go every year :)
Didn't see one, so I decided to make another.
>>8899657this is both nice and creepy, but thanks i think?sage for ot

Con season is coming up and any ideas would be appreciated. I'm willing to cosplay either gender, but would prefer characters from anime over games.>>8894648Either Poppo or Jinta from Anohana.

Stop shitposting in the general edition.Old thread: >>8889295
>>8900528I overheard one of the organizers admit the kitchen staff straight up sent the extra food to VIP. Regardless, it's all speculation.It still wouldn't excuse non VIP holders getting access to that food just on the basis of knowing somebody when others were not allowed. And that for sure happened.
>>8900546The people I talked to didn't pay fees. They were let in by friends specifically. They brought back snacks and cans of soda. Some even volunteered to bring down food for other non VIP people so it would be harder for enforcers to catch onto.
>>8900556Yeah, but the con can't really use "you sent our leftovers to your VIP lounge" as a complaint to the hotel. The VIP lounges are supposed to have food in them. The hotel can choose what food to serve at the lounge. If anything, VIP guests should be ones lodging a complaint about that -- "I know you served us leftovers from yesterday, how dare you serve us stale food". The con, though? If they paid for x amount of food and received exactly x amount, they can't be greedy and demand all the extra food the kitchen cooked. And if there's leftovers and the con aren't demanding doggie bags to bring home all the extra food, then they have no real reason to complain what the hotel chooses to do with the leftovers.Again, if the con received less than what they paid for, then that's a valid cause for complaint. If the hotel oversupplied and then took the extra food that the con didn't pay for and served it to the VIP lounge, though, I don't see how congoers are the ones paying for the food if it's in excess of what the con organisers paid for?>>8900557It's pretty much like trying to ghost a con. If the enforcers aren't checking and everyone manages to get in, good for them. If they were checking then you don't get to go in. Regardless, your ticket price isn't paying for the VIP lounge either, it's open the whole year and it has food the whole year round.
>>8900578VIP wouldn't complain, a single meal in that area can cost over $15 so I doubt free food would be an issue. The hotel sandwiches were good even if they were a couple hours old, nothing wrong with them to file a real complaint I'm sure.But I would be pissed if I paid for high tea at $50 and only received five small sandwiches, and tea and scones that I would have to fight over with other goers at my table. I've received a larger amount of suitable food for high tea events after paying only $30. VIP or not that is wrong.I think the menu issue is one that could be resolved if organizers stated the menu as well as the quantity alotted per person, so at least someone can know what they're getting before they commit to buy.Had I known I would get a single plate of five small sandwiches, with no seconds, and would have to fight for scones and tea at my table I would have reconsidered my $50 purchase.>if enforcers don't check then it's ethically okay for this to passNo it isn't. That's cheating the system and unfair to other con goers.
>>8900578It wasn't about the enforcers checking. Con organizers themselves let their non VIP friends in while making statements that non VIP were not allowed access to the lounges. The con organizers who should be held with the highest regard to integrity didn't make those people pay fees for the lounge access. Why are you defending that level of corruption? If this happened at any other con where the base ticket price was $80 people would question what their money was actually paying for.
Last one just started saging:>>8890647
>>8900523Caps?
>>8900529It's just some long winded comment from some chick trying to be helpful and play hero by suggesting vapid, obvious things and one of them was to "bring out the gold in the print" with gold accessories along with other obvious things like navy instead of black.
>>8900529Not too lulzy by itself, but I was amused in context.
>>8900504You're thinking of Emma "I'm Native American when convenient" and Linda. Cadence does run in their circle but she's calmed down her obnoxiousness over time
>>8900155Needs to trim her bangs, holy shit I'm triggered
Old thread: >>8860426
>>8900584Like, I think what Anon was getting at is that they're rejecting Lolita because "it's not related", which is clearly stupid, since it's a Japanese CULTURE con. Whereas, they're A-Okay with your panel, which is western media. Your panel IS a-okay, but it seems stupid to be OK with that, and hate on Lolita. I have no idea what got up that person's ass to refuse Lolita stuff, though. Yikes.
>>8900574>3 gets you a free badgeThey don't even give you a badge just for being a panelist? That seems a bit stingy. Is it normal for cons not to give a badge to people hosting panels?
>>8900604No, it does seem to be normal to give a badge for just ONE panel. Sakuracon didn't even do the 3 up until last year, from my understanding. It's kinda shit, considering it's such a large con and they wouldn't lose shit for giving a few badges away free. And having the 3rd of mine rejected made me realize that at door prices are now 70 a pop. What the fuck.
>>8900592Oh, yeah, I figured as much, as well. I just think anon might be shitting a little too hard on "loosely related" content panels.
>>8900610I didn't personally read into it that way (but I barely read anything into most posts, so I'm no judge), but I can understand that you would. I'm glad you got your panel accepted, all the same.
Post here if you take commissions or want to request a commission. If taking requests, post a couple examples of your work.If requesting, post your measurements and a reference picture of your request.
>>8900224That's really low. You might be able to get the jacket only for $100+ship but if you want the shawl too, you're looking at way more than $100.
$700-1,200?Aspiring cosplay: Yuyuko SagiyoujiAuthentic fabric from Japan and made in mind, lavished oriental designs show casing an elegant and traditional style.Not only would I want the dress. It is expected to come along with graceful sandals, commissioners wig of choice in the highest standard, extravigant obi sash, and Yuyuko's fan made in the finest materials.
>>8898054Don't let me see you at AX m8
>>8900589Need by Anima Expo.3 month window for completion.
>>8900595No bully.
Old thread (>>8877150) is autosaging
>>8900288This is Saber right?I don't think the makeup is good for the character but I think it's decently executedLike.. she looks so uncanny valley it could be cool for a horror-type cosplay
>>8900375holy shit hiro and tadashi do not deserve this type of treatment.
>>8900288That's unfortunateI feel like that would work on some really stylized characters though, just not one like Saber
New Undertale general.Old thread: >>8872138Post your Undertale outfits, gulls. Or others. Post anything.
>>8900214I see what they were TRYING to do but... ouch. That's straight up a face vajay
Any Undertale cosplay for Kamicon?
>>8900573This is one of my faves too, although I suspect this is shopped a fair bit?? I don't care that much though, I still really like the general look they've got going on. Looks very close to how I imagine undyne would actually look. I also really like gekroent's interpretation and can't wait to see her finish the bald version
>>8900582oh my god that poor alphys...
Shit is just a little bit more than a week away and there is no thread for it.>Where are you from>Who are you cosplaying as>Which hotel are you staying at>Any panels or guests you're excited about>What your plans for the weekend>CGL meet up possible? >Drinking and partying yes no?I'm really hoping I can get Nobou Uematsu to sign my violin case and get a picture with him. Holy shit that would be a bucket list dream come true. Dude got me into music.For plans outside of meeting Uematsu, thinking of hitting up a few Japanese culture and travel related panels and hopefully build a network from the panel hosts to help me travel to Japan, get their tips and advice and all that fun ass shit. Other than that just gonna be in the game room learning Street Fighter V and trolling Arc System and Persona weebs scrubs in Persona 4 Arena Ultimax.Comment too long.

>>8899330I think we're just keeping quiet since we just have the usual drama and people were dropping names like shit last year.
>>8900344Considering the size of the con (10k badge cap) I'm actually surprised at how inbred all the drama is. What's with that anyway? Salty staffers? Or the old forum crowd?
>>8898091>>8900434The Lolita comm too. I wouldn't be surprised if some kind of shit went down since the kc community have had so many secrets posted about them recently.
>>8900434There are alot of weeb groups in KC that are unaffiliated with eachother, but last year had alot of name dropping coming from the old forum crowd. though I think it was all assumed to be one kid trying to start conflicts with a group that's pretty much parted their own ways.
Anyone expect them to hit the badge limit this year? I didnt buy my badge early.
