How will I find hotel room parties?
>>10970557Use your eyes and ears, friend. I say that with no sarcasm or disrespect. Cons in Cornfield, Indiana have parties, this one's playing on easy mode
Chainsaw meet up when?
Should I get on the official discord channel?
I hope more drama happens this year because I LIVE for drama that has no impact on me but means everything to two schizo groups who are both a danger to the public

>otakufest good>megacon bad!!!>avatarfagging instantly>typing like a tardOh this is going to be a fun con season in Florida again this year, wonder what con will be "the worst ever" again as the result of sneaking in and trying to get into room parties of people you don't know.
>>10970448>The "trans inclusionary" and "Life as a Black Otaku" side of itSadly that garbage just comes with the territory of the anime/cosplay scene, no?
I got Rockville coming next week. Kinda planning on going to Metrocon but I haven't gone to it. Anybody been to it before? How good is it?
>>10970516metro is a fine con some years are okay some years are hype and if you go with friends its better i always go to it every year and i end up having a blast anytime i do the dates this year is im not gonna lie kinda weird kinda off but whatever but i have been critical over the years because its practically the same thing over and over between the chess matches and the fire show and the masquerade if anyones not too drunk to understand the story and dance time theres no 18+ stuff and metro is a party con however last year they mentioned WHY theres no 18+ stuff inna nutsack they making metro family/friendly and for entertainment only and theyre "not equipped or educated" enough to check ID and why they dont serve alcohol there>I just think the fandom needs a convention that focuses on entertainment and interactive events and community MORE than it needs another party con with 18+ panels at night.Comment too long.

This would be dope
Berry is making her UK debut this weekend at HaruhiCon, but all idol performers have to pay £75 to perform for 4 minutes for the Sakura Idol MatsuriPaida has released a new song!
>>10970535pretty standard with idols and actually good practice for any business in general. you don't want to ever be surrounded by a controversy and then accused of tortious interference.
>>10970541>ControversyWhat happened? I only discovered the group at the end of last year.
>>10970555nothing, it's just a hypothetical over what could happen.as an aside i'm curious how canadian idols are coping right now. the current climate seems like a nightmare scenario given that going to america was always really risky and expensive in the first place
>>10970559I just saw that the cover idol group Estella just went on indefinite hiatus as of yesterday. Things are so fucked in America that I wonder how Canadian Idols will make it here for events, especially this summer now that the prices for transportation will continue to skyrocket.
>>10970563i don't think flight prices are as bad as normal gasoline prices right now. flights are also pretty cheap because no one is flying.there are way worse things to worry about on their mind. idols have always been riding the line. but they have a more than unacceptable chance of getting sent to prison now that the stasi are at every airport scrutinizing anyone not white and looking for any reason to fill their concentration camps. if you come to america you're definitely sweating bullets the whole time you're here. and i'm pretty sure american events were the only moneymakers.
>Forgotten Facebook CosplayersI wonder what are they doing now.
>Another duplicate thread awardThis board really is past its usefuleness
Thread for posting your cosplays, or asking advice on cosplaying. Stop making singular threads for your cosplays, newfags, this isnt reddit
>>10970548I know it's a suit jacket (or even a blazer), but I want to know what fabric it most resembles.I don't see why the color would be stylized. The hair color for characters that appear on more than one cover is consistent, for example.
>>10970549Suits can be made out of a lot of things. If you want the sheen as shown in the color pic, silk or some artificial material that has a sheen.Imma be real with you - just buy a green suit jacket.
>>10970551I want fabric closest to the black and white depictions. I can't decide whether it looks more like tweed or flannel.I'm planning to get one custom tailored because the lapets are all way too low on the retail ones.
>>10970552Anon just buy a green suit jacket and modify the lapels yourself you'll save thousands of dollars. Flannel suits aren't really a thing. Just find something with a matte colour.
>>10970553>just buy a green suit jacket and modify the lapels yourself you'll save thousands of dollarsI don't even know where to begin on lapel modification.>Flannel suits aren't really a thing.I don't really mind if it's a thing or not; I just want accuracy to the black and white fabric. Also I don't really see the difference between a suit jacket and suit blazer, but know both do come in flannel.
>mfw realizing cosplay is only worth it if you're attractive
>>10964357Or just do "funny" cosplays.Everyone loves the fat guy who does peter griffin every year.Nobody likes the fat guy who tries to do some "hot" cosplay.
>>10967079>Nobody likes the fat guy who tries to do some "hot" cosplay.what if its ironic crossplay
>>10968475its only funny if you make it obvious that you're doing it for funnies.Fat bearded guy in a Miku outfit wearing suspenders and a "yamaha" logo around his belly button? Funny.Fat guy in a "femboy hooters" outfit wearing the exact same outfit you just saw some 5ft5 twink wearing? Not funny.
>>10878507Do a masked or helmeted character.
I'm a pretty average looking guy and I still find joy from crafting costumes and props and have made genuine connections with many people through it, including finding my wife.If your goal is to get Instagram followers then yeah, you need to be a conventionally attractive woman willing to flash your T and A, or an attractive man that is extremely talented. If you just want to have fun and meet people, you just need to have a genuine smile and a can-do attitude.
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.
I was considered a "bad" cosplayer back in the day (early-mid 2000s) simply for having another "philosophy" about cosplay that people here and irl fucking hated.It was basically that for me, character costume designs should be seen as a "concept art" for the costume and it's my job to make that "concept art" actually invoke the feeling irl. For example, say you are doing Asirpa, the costume I would design would genuinely look period accurate, would have far more ainu design elements, would use the correct historical fashion elements, real fur, real proper hide etc. An anime or manga can't truly show what these costumes would look like IRL, so for me most cosplay looks a bit too "2D" and it's my job to make them truly work in a real life context.It's why my hottest take is there is no good Jojo cosplay. If it doesn't look like it belongs in a John Galliano 1997-2010 show (pic related/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcpBwlS0oYQ). Then imo it doesn't truly inspire the "look" that Jojo design is going for.

>>10934537will u be my wife
>>10934536If this post is real, your gyaru make up is spot on. What's the outfit with it? Are you going to make your hair more expressive or stick with the pigtails?
Some answers here are strange
>>10963876Explain how
>>10934536Looks great! Though I'd recommended putting something on your lips as they look quite bare compared to your eyes. But the eye make up is amazing!! I'm jealous of your skills!!
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
The con is Friday and I am desolately constipated.
>>10970444poop
>tfw on fourth attempt ordering costume that fits, and looks goodDon't live up in the territories. Getting money back for returns, but the shipping times are brutal.
>disqualified from Cosplay contest because cosplay was bought off from a professional cosplayer
>>10970001>not interested in hanging with a bunch of tumblrtards and twittertards.you know there are more people at cons than special snowflake hazbin hotel fans right?
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.
>Can I get a picture with you...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCQRg8ORdds
>>10968491actually accurate

2Kawaii4Comfort just dropped a new update video. I'm jealous of everyone in ATL who is able to see the major anime update announcement at Momoconhttps://www.tiktok.com/@2kawaii4comfort/video/7635027583008115982
