Share tips, tricks, and your current projects, too.Anyone have good examples of handmade OPs & JSKs? I see a lot of potentially good designs ruined by shitty prints, giant ugly ruffles, and terrible color schemes.Don't even get me started on Etsy lolita.What ruins it for you? What should people quit doing with handmade stuff? Post photos & concrit all of it.
>>10938122>>10938860You should be able to buy Otome No Sew or Misako Aoki's sewing book from Amazon or Etsy. Some of the books are translated in English, but in general they're pretty easy to follow. >>10938158

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask for this adviceI want to make fanart of the card in picrel, but I am not good with this type of clothing and I have 0 experience with assembling women's outfits, so I am at a loss here. I am looking for reference materials on the type of clothing pieces used in this character's design. Normally I would find design sheets of a character if I do fanart, but since this card is brand new, there is nothing of that sort. If anyone has some input, I'd be happy to see it
>>10940196This design isn’t Lolita so the help you can get here will be limited. But here are some terms you can look up for references:- the material of the main dress and arm warmers looks like it’s meant to be silk with a brocade pattern at the hems- the cut of skirt is called a high-low or mermaid skirt- the thing on her neck is called a jabotfor the arm warmers you could probably reference Miku fanart and cosplays?
>>10940202the skirt was giving me the most trouble. Logically I could wrap my head around how its put together, but my mind drew a blank when I tried to put it to paper. Thanks, knowing the name lets me look at it from different angles and at its schematics, so you've helped me greatly. Little confused by this not being lolita though. I was fully convinced its some kind of goth lolita. What is this style be called?
Marin (and variations) and Yor were the obvious FOTM cosplays for last con season. What are your predictions for this year? My predictions:>Yor spillover from last year>a fuckton of Kobeni and Makima>Mitsuri from Demon Slayer (her arc comes out in spring)>Vash Stampede for guys
>>10940165>LukkaSorry, I meant Lucca of course
>>10940165You going to yunicon this year?[spoiler]wanna meet up?[/spoiler]Lucca cute, I can’t believe anime Jesus is real. Anybody who cosplays him is a winner in my eyes.
>>10940165I'm almost tempted since it looks easy except for the staff. Yeah I can sew but a failure at props. What's the cheapest or most beginner-friendly way to make the staff and not have it look like a poop stick?
>>10940165who will be the first to do a lewd version?

It feels pointless going to cons alone. I just went to Otakuthon yesterday and I saw tons of people, I went to panels, I had tons of nice conversations, interactions and pictures, but it hurts knowing I'll probably never see any of these people again. The only real long interaction I had was with a guy playing Go with me and some other people, but beyond that, it never moved outside of small talk and compliments.I'm still happy that I probably talked to over a 100 strangers in one day, something most people who are lonely fail to do, but being alone in a crowd truly hurts.

>D Piddy (the Deadpool cosplayer you've probably seen around) cosplays as P Diddy>makes a video of him raping a Justin Bieber cosplayer at TsumiconIs this acceptable? Should he be banned from the con?
>>10940062There are many people that attend cons in their 40s, but Yaya is the only one that dresses up in scantily clad shit.
>>10940045>2 of the most annoying con celebs just lost their credibility and reputationCouldn't happened to a nicer pair.
>>10940167What credibility did these guys have?
>>10940061This. "Joking about SA is never okay!!1!" So do they seriously expect us to go after anyone who has ever made, liked, or shared a P Diddy/Diddler meme?
They're perm banned from Tsumicon and the rumor mill going around is that D. Piddy is also now banned from AX Chibi and ALA. It looks like his e-celeb revenue is about to dry up now.
It's been 10 years Are cons safer now?Anyone encountered any con creeps?I (male) got my butt grabbed by another guy once, didn't bother me desu (not gay)

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.
>>10827755This is a good take! I used to have anime magazines when I was 11 and all the weird cosplays made me feel awkward. Also my fisrt anime con was when I was 11 (my mother took me), and everyone looked rly bad to my opinion. the best cosplayer was a girl around my age that was dressed as Sumomo (Chobits). The cosplay quality was amazing, and she looked so tiny, she was the cutest ;w;If you think you pass the cosplay vibe, do it. cosplay is about having fun, not pleasing fans lol fuck them.

I'll never experience the fun of a group cosplay because my friend groups are either; Normies, Retards that can't schedule anything if their life depended on it, only cosplay by buy body suits from amazon or are just lazy.I've looked into online cosplay groups inline but some of them are the most elitist fuckers I've ever seen.

I'm almost back to where I was in 2021.My internet friend is barely talking to me, the people I met through my new hobby are mostly done with me, if they ever wanted anything to do with me in the first place, the one person I had in 2021 hasn't responded to my message, and I have no one to talk to where I study. And I'm dropping out of my studies and losing the will to do my hobby, thanks to the loneliness.There are some minor improvements since then that still remain but overall things are returning to how they were.

>First family Halloween party I've ever been to on Saturday>Debuted crossplay to most of them>No complaints, fun times had by all>Realize I lost my phone the next morning>Make two trips back to the area>It's sitting in the fucking street over a mile away, somehow without a single crack5/10, would halfway recommend
>>10940065It's not a recent thing, some people have been hating on crossplay forever. They're just homo/trans/pseudogyna -phobic. They've always been around and sadly, always will be. Ignore them.
>>10940119well, most who complain are just complaining about me and are biting at what they think is easiest, but i have heard honestly unnecessarily aggressive things about crossplay from people who dont know i do it and i can just hear the "i am on my phone for 12 hours a day" in their words. Never their own opinion on the subject, for some reason.
>>10940159good news, nevermind my sulking. my not terminally online friends are still normal and recognize crossplay as the noble Alexandrian tradition that it is.Gonna be a good one. Gonna be the best dressed, as uzhe.
>>10940171i think i did the padding well did some adjustments and glued on the extra bits perfectly (spent an hour measuring) but it still has the tendency to look wonky and im pretty sure thats cause of movement.is there a solution or will i have to accept it?
>Are you going? What is your>Hotel>Cosplay lineup >Stories from Dragoncons past>General Dragoncon discussion (good places to grab a bite near the con, party plans, things you’re excited for etc)About a month and some change out. I’m really excited. I feel bad for the people who got fucked over by the Courtland Grand (former Sheraton) who had all their rezzys cancelled due to a billing issue. Also that whole Mariott Hunger Games error page (pic related) was a massive shit fuck too holy hell.
>>10937376AWA literally has not one single Japanese guest this year. Fuck AWA to death with a cactus.
>Marriott for 2025 ALREADY sold out>opened two days agoGod dammit I should've been paying attentionNow I don't know whether to try to get a room at the Westin when it opens (despite it having a pretty shitty spot compared to the three main ones) or see if anyone's selling a Marriott room
>>10938167Bro, my buddy logged in 2 minutes after it opened and was number 3208 in line. It’s absurd. Westin is hunger games too, go for it man. Yeah it’s not host but it’s close, it would be no different than any other hotel that’s close down there and at least it has dance parties there. Westin has a chill vibe compared the the mains. The elevators at the main ones suck.
Did anyone see this “fight”? It seems like it was two guys arguing over Israel / Palestine lol
