>>10960910kill all cosplayers who don't iron or steam their outfitssick of seeing the prepackaged square pattern fresh out of the amazon packaging look
>>10960910Ironing that fabric without burning it is a pain tho i wouldn’t blame her. Trust me i tried
>>10961099I dont know the exact fabric that might be, Bu I have a costume made with holographic transfer lycra and I ironed it just fine
>>10960906more like fatsune miku

>>10960183They sent out a 10% off coupon to anyone with a late noble crown. I wonder what I should spend it on
Anyone ever heard of the brand "night whisper"?I was on my shop.app feed (I like to window shopping what can I say ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) and saw this brand. It doesn't look super sus... BUT I wanna see if any of y'all purchased from them before. I wanna dip my toes into lolita fashion. and I get deals from the shop.app thing but I don't wanna get low quality garbage that will piss me off.nightwhisperdesign{DOT}com
>>10960243Baby still makes them regularly, people are just stupid.
>>10961089but these come with lolita organic matter attached to them, so obviously they cost more, jk, not really, yes really, clown world
>>10961083Skimmed through the site and it's not a brand. They're reselling different Taoabo brands for ridiculous prices. And since it's all Taobao stuff the quality is going to suck and most of the designs are ugly. If you really want that crap you're better off using a Taobao shopping service or going to a different reseller site like GlitzyWonderland, 42Lolita etc

My latest Cosplay of Zenitsu, quite happy with it.Wore to a small con and to the cinema for Infinity Castle
>>10956956Old post, but whatever. For larger masks I've hooked up my phone on the inside and positioned the peephole to where my phone camera looks out, and hooked up to a power bank to stay on constantly. It works pretty decently, but can be an issue being too large (get a secondhand smaller phone in this case) or too close to your eyes to be able to focus on. There are other methods you can use like Arduino/Raspberry Pi with smaller cameras but phones are much easier to work with, power, and set up if your mask has enough space for one.
Doing an Bleach cosplay Urahara kisuke. For a local con Next week, going to make Benehime with cardboard. Trying to figure out a 3 way came into cane sword into proper swordwith basicz cardboard locking mechanisms and a hatch release. Will post pics of prop once made. Maybe a pdf of people are interested.
If a guy cosplays as a female character who dresses in traditionally masculine clothing is that considered crossdressing
>>10961109It's crossdressing because a guy is pretending to be a girl.>traditionally masculineIrrelevant.
Films/tv shows that are based on cosplay/con culture or at least reference it in some way.I felt that 2Kawaii4Comfort was (for better or worse) the most accurate description of going to a small con and having a bad time at it. It's a shame it ended on a cliffhanger.
>>10863223It's interesting, most shows and and anime that feature comiket just show people leaving at 4pm after the con is done, and given what I see on twitter that's typical what actually happens there. No after parties.Not a movie or focused on cosplay but Axanael is a great love letter to otaku culture. One of the routes starts with a gunfight at comiket because someone doesn't cant get the doujin they need.
>>10958082>most shows and and anime that feature comiket just show people leaving at 4pm after the con is done, and given what I see on twitter that's typical what actually happens there. No after parties.I get that it's a difference in culture, but that is still so trippy to me. From my experience, American cons go on way into the night and then have after-parties across hotels, bars, and even parks for late night raves. The idea of calling it a day at 4pm boggles my mind.

>>10958455there's more than 1?
>>10863223They're turning 2Kawai4Comfort into an anime for the final!!! I'm thrilled to see this could finally get an ending!I think this is the best outcome because 1) Turning it into an anime for the last episode feels right. The series has had moments of mix media and surrealist moments, such as Randy's flashback through an old-school videogame, the comic book scene where Spencer is running around the con, even the tentacle "dream" sequence was really out there. So having it turn into an anime isn't too crazy. 2) It's been 8 years. There's no way the actors look the same.Trailer: https://www.tiktok.com/@2kawaii4comfort/photo/7547537181124873485
>Fourteen people were arrested and 10 victims were rescued in a human sex trafficking sting at San Diego Comic-Con Convention.>The San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force conducted a three-day operation ahead of the weekend bust, California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a news release on Tuesday, adding that among those rescued was a 16-year-old girl.>Law enforcement officers went undercover as sex buyers to identify and arrest traffickers, as well as find potential victims, according to the attorney general's officers.>Undercover police also posted ads seeking sex as part of the operation.
At this point I'm almost surprised this shit isn't legal. Seems like everyone wants to fuck cunny and promotes it.
>>10953125Awfully specific lil nigga
>>10946749It goes both ways dudet.You think all these woman haters started that way? You really think it's because they are all just shallow and stupid? They are the same coin, people who's kindness hasn't been rewarded, hearts broken too many times and given zero sympathy from anyone, or worse even mocked straight to their face. No matter how many times they try to break the pattern, to prove it wrong it just ends up repeating, ending up to the point where they are so broken that the moment anyone shows them any amount of kindness they freak out and scare them away because their trust is gone.It's a cruel fucking world man. Actual innocent people driven to maddness while the devil gets to dance freely.
>>10931861Mental illness right here.
>>10931861You should be playing with your babies and other mommies, not posting here you busted tramp
How do you make such precise drawings on a mask (the moth)?I saw that they used glue to stick paper on it like gold leaf, but how do they manage to make such a precise area?
>>10961080It's possible to cut it out by hand, with a hobby knife or scissors. You can also use a Cricut cutting machine.
Stencil. Lay a stencil on the mask, put glue on over the stencil, add the glitter, take off the stencil.
Haven't seen the Texas thread in over a month, so I guess I'll make one since I'm a frequent poster in themUPCOMING EVENTS (that OP remembered about): Anime Frontier - Dec 6 to Dec 8 Ikkicon - Jan 10 to Jan 12 Weebcon - Apr 18 to Apr 20 A-Kon - lolDiscuss topics about Texas cons here, such as why Anime Frontier decided to give a bunch of people free Sunday passes
>>10960933That's going to end up one of the funniest things if Windblume finally dies completely being scheduled the same weekend as Colossalcon Texas AND ANYC. A double whammy for sure. Congoers are better off going out of state or to Colossal Texas at that point because all the good guests will probably get poached for one of those two events.
>>10960933Is that the current favorite for the next major Texas con that will be kill, or are we still praying for Anime Matsuri's downfall?
>>10961074Windblume isn't a major Texas con by any means, it's just a small, niche con for Hoyoshit weebs that will probably keep fighting to be relevant as the years go by. Nothing more than a cash grab by an owner that seems to have betrayed the principles of "quality over quantity". Multiple small anime cons that he has organized throughout Texas have died out in recent years, I'm just speculating on the next one that will fall. My advice for him regarding his Texas cons: just focus on Ecchi Expo(s), your flagship, and likely best-performing con(s). There is no need to flood the zone and saturate the market with these shitty-ass cons if you can't keep up the quality.>next major Texas con that will be killIf not AM, then maybe Weebcon imo
>>10961074It's going to get bloody soon. Weebcon is running deep in the red. They claim it's new under management, which means they got a lifeline. We will see if the city of Houston will keep supporting Anime Matsuri.
>>10961085I mean, what are Houston's alternatives?
Anyone know where I can find Idol Force footage? What did everyone think of it this time?
Damn okay no need for all that, all I wanted was opinions. You don’t need to rank them, you can just say your personal favourite.
>>10960936Everyone from the scene has lit moved on from this years ago stop stirring up useless drama
I don't remember who performed on Saturday and Sunday OZCC or even the schedule.
>>10960947 Clearly samefag so obviously you went to the event and are again trying to stir up drama. Why don’t you try ranking types of grass you neckbeard freak.

>>10960802shrek is life lml
>>10960817ty ty~ it makes me feel cute as hell :3
>>10960780huge hands dude
>>10960787Sorry, but my parents won't let me post my capybara socks here.:(
>>10960773Now we seen your stocking, lets see your panties.
Post those seagull feels.My cosplay friend is 23 but looks about 12. We like to tease her, saying that all of her fans are pedos. Well, we might stop now... Her Discord mod didn't show up to Dragoncon. Guess what he was arrested for?And my Etsy order from the UK cancelled.Previous:>>10941913
>tfw after losing 33 pounds i look decent in my tactical outfit and girls in conventions are looking at me salivatingI finally feel like I have sex appeal. Now i'm gonna look for the cosplay thots and have sex in costume with them. God, I wanna fuck someone in cosplay so bad.
>>10961008They will get older too, no one is safe. You could cosplay characters your age, for example that witch from Spirited Away
>>10961087maybe theyre looking to see your next move so they know where to escape
>>10961095what? i dont get it
>girl with autism and borderline thinks i'm a harasser/abuser, now that she's pregnant with a guy she met through cosplay and has ADHD>both of them regularly don't take their meds on purpose>before she got married and pregnang she used to hit on a girl in the group in a blatant way>gotten into arguments with her because she wanted to kinkshame othersWhy do I even bother caring anymore? I hate people who barely figure their shit talking about others. Go fix yourself and function properly before wanting to talk about others, sweetie.
Anyone been to Vienna Comic Con? Wanna go there in cosplay this november, because I have a place to stay and its the closest country where I can do so. This'd be my first time tho, so idk what to expect
>>10959135Where is it, near Praterstern? Ive never been to any kind of con, might take a look(so like a 0.001% chance lol)
>>10960343It actually is nearby! Its in Messe I believe, tho I can't remember which hall. I bet plenty from the balkans and neighbouring countries'll be there, as is the case with me
Thankx to an extra ticket i went once. Maybe its worth it if you connect with someone.For me There really wasnt that much to do, when you ignore food and buying things. I saw Jonathan Frakes, a Power Rangers Cosplay/Larp group had brought a photo, booth throne, there was a pay as you see fit massage, and i randomly met a pal. However weeb cons dont have a ton of activities for me anymore as well.I think there was an interview panel and a gaming thing too but they didnt captivate me.
You need to learn how to vibe and talk to people at conventions. If you're underage that's one thing. If you're old enough you should budget for a hotel room so you can party and party with strangers and make new friends. The best part about conventions is meeting people and subsequently running into them at other cons in other years and it's all so fucking beautiful. It's the only time you don't have to suppress your powerlevel because guess what? They know all the dumb memes you do and have a lot of overlap in interests and other things you enjoy. You can ask someone why they're green and actually learn something about Startrek because they fucking love star trek so much they painted themselves green! SO WHEN I ASK THEM THEY ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO GUSH ABOUT THE SHIT THEY LOVE! I FUCKING LOVE NERD CONVENTION SHIT HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I no longer want to drink. I only want to dance to anime music at cons. That too is lost on this generation. Thus there is no one I want to interact with anymore.
>>10961069go the the raves, its all anime OPs remixed
>>10961071You'd think so, unfortunately the reality is much more grim, as tends to be the case with many things these days. I was big into going to "anime raves" two years ago, both ones at cons and ones played locally by a certain group that organizes them. Maybe 40% of the music played is anime or anime-adjacent, everything else is random EDM genres, a lot of it garbage. For example, last year at the most recent con rave I've been to only one of the three DJ's I saw played anisong remixes, the other one played some nondescript EDM slop you'd hear in the background of some Twitch stream, and the third one played dubstep and idk what they played after that because I left during their set.It's one of the consequences of anime becoming mainstream. The road to making it as a DJ is paved with grinding out weddings and random gigs before your networking lands you at some club, so a lot of DJ's who don't give a shit about anime end up doing con raves anyway because a gig's a gig and anime is mainstream enough to where con raves end up on non-weebs' radars.
>>10961073I never understand why anime convention raves don't play nightcore. Pisses me off.
>>10961073Agreed unfortunately. There are good ones out there in the US like Aniclover and anibash, but many of them have semi naked girls on stage and call it a hentai rave. No thanks
