>>10969307>Fun fact I played FF X-2 before FF XThat's funny because I did too actually, I had only played Tactics Advance back then and simply grabbed the first FF game I could find while I was at a pawn shop. I only played X years later through the FFX/FFX-2 HD remaster
>>10969307I mean Power Girl from DC comicsFairly common cosplay for busty girls
>>10969307>You know of any place that sells it anon and is okay with returns incase it doesnt fit as well as I would have liked?old /cgl/ "gulls" would have gone mad @ this, I have no clue, but their motto was "DIY" of some sorts, these who- gulls were sewing their own shit, allegedlyI used to watch an animu with her, pic related, shit was hella kino

Sharing a hotel room at a con:Have you done it before? Where did you find people to split the room with? Were they strangers? What rules were usually in place for the convention weekend? Did any problems arise? Would you do it again?

>>10957775heeeyy mythie I hope you're doing well... That fuckass photo I took gives me flashbacks lmao. At least you didn't have two other dudes spooning eachother in that bed with you one night :(Meet people at cons beforehand and figure out if they're chill. Once you find the right people that aren't creeps and pay properly then try rooming with them again.
pretty simple are any of yall gonna be there and do any of you have thoughts on the con
>>10969316Did you have a bag with a pin featuring Yuki from Mayonaka Punch on it? If that is the case, then I saw you at the convention. If I you were in fact the person that I saw, then I must admit being surprised that I actually witnessed somebody else that posted here in the real world.
>>10969353>It plays well to get there on Thursday and then start talking to people early/mid Friday.This sounds as though it is good advice. This has been my fourth time going to this convention, and although I enjoy the time I spend at the convention, I have only had one instance where I had a conversation with anyone that lasted more than perhaps one to three minutes at the absolute maximum. Zenkaikon was my first anime convention, and I distinctly remember feeling very anxious about going to the convention even after driving all the way to the convention center. I was anxious to the degree that I stayed in my car for probably thirty minutes just trying to build up the courage to walk into the convention center because I was afraid of how "weird" it might be, despite being an anime fan my entire life.After the first time I made it into the convention, the anxiety around attending conventions dissipated, but I still feel a latent anxiety and discomfort around actually maintaining or initiating conversations with people. It often does not manifest itself as actual nervousness or trepidation, although sometimes that is still the case. At this point, I think I often dismiss opportunities to speak to people entirely if I feel that I do not have a chance of maintaining a conversation with them, and so as a result I perhaps feel less directly anxious than I was initially, but only because I already dismissed many social interactions that could cause anxiety. Because of that tendency to dismiss potential chances to interact with others at a convention in the first place, the conversations that I do have with others never really go beyond one to three questions about somebody's cosplay at the absolute most.Perhaps I should go to this networking event the next time I go to Zenkaikon, as my current strategy for talking to people always turns into walking around the convention by myself for hours until I leave, and that does not appear to be working.
>>10969356Oh shit yeah that was me, sup.>If I you were in fact the person that I saw, then I must admit being surprised that I actually witnessed somebody else that posted here in the real world.Desu I'm more surprised at someone recognizing MayoPan in the wild, haha. I have a Fu pin on that bag too.
>>10969359start drinking (doesn't have to be alcohol) and hang out at the hotel bars adjacent to the convention center at night
>>10969343Yes. It has been growing year over year. Programming isn’t always the best (some events can actually be arguably quite bad). But there is always some interesting people there.
>Anime Expo registrations opened today>no threadsDead Board? Did you guys manage to book any hotel rooms before they sold out? My friends and I managed to snag 2 at the Westin and 1 at the AC.
>>10967707They should just temporarily move AX to Vegas until 2029.
>>10969416There is speculation it may come down to that in 2028 due to the Olympics.

Any idea why West Hall isn't going to be in use? All I see are South Hall and that parking structure behind LA Live?
>>10969539they just made a post saying they will use both halls. in fact west hall will be even bigger than before and kick out the video games to la live. do you mean for parking?
Who here? I cant find the maid cafe or itasha cars. The idol stage was good but now it stopped. What else is there todo?
>>10969118>What else is there todo?Realize how much a waste of time cons below the equator are. Australia somehow manages to suck all fun out of these.
egl fashion show was fun to participate in at least - need more egl events in sydney, so this is a start

>>10969168I'd be interested in some trades / sales, even if I'll get ripped for the cost of inevitably shipping something across the Atlantic. Any particular bits and bobs you're interested in Gropey?
>>10969171I hope I'm a known quality enough to be trusted not to rip you off, I will say that with how my current government is going, shipping overseas can be a bit dicey, so I'm not looking forward to dealing with that... But if you have something interesting, I'd be willing to take the risk.*Late medieval and renaissance western european medical equipment *Late 16thC western european sailor's personal and working goods, focused on English, Dutch, and Spanish impressions.*Late 15th and early 16thC Italian military, personal and household goods *Interesting latex LARP weapons *Suitably fantasy/grimdark props and stuff*Warhammer fantasy novels, collectables and older campaign/army books
>>10969168I am but a poor college student, but that looks cool.
I want a red gamebeson, but I suck at sewing. How difficult are gambesons to make, and can you guys recommend a guide for dummies?Alternatively, any good vendors in Europe, and how difficult is dyeing shit?
>>10969173I'll have a dig around and see what I can find. How old do you want for Warhammer fantasy stuff, as I've got sheafs of it from the middle/later editions. Could probably source a fancy belt and a latex bollock dagger for 15th C Italian stuff, even if most of the stuff I've got leans towards English impressions for that period.

To all my frends at Mega hope you all have fun! I wont be attending due to my hatred for Mega
there are some sexy cosplayers going to megacon
Spend money in the artist alley, I'm vending
>>10965943>tell me florida has the best cons when almost every con here is a 2/10He said it was the state with some of the most cons in them. lrn2read
Was Anime in the Park worth the $40 price tag for this year's event? I went to the Clermont and Groveland ones, they were fun for a free small one day thing, what was so special about this one that warrant a paid entry? How was it this year?
Hii first time posting on this board but I’ve seen others show their cosplays on here so I wanted to show my best picture I have. It was taken professionally by a stranger on a convention last month
>>10954774SOURCE!?
>>10961667wtf is an erotic waffle?
>>10966335Because it became so accepted and as the default, when I post a picture of myself without filters people act shocked that I have pores sometimes
>>10969281yeah, is kinda sad the state of things. smoothing skin here, a bit of relighting there, sureI just still hate the douyinslop makeup gimmicks of trying to make your head look half the size through filters. Done to a modest level it looks fine irl, you can just always tell when its done explicitly for the sole intent of living through a filter, bitch just do photos at a studio at that point
is it acceptable to make a thread on this board to try to identify a cosplayer? Didn't see anything about it in the rules, and never posted on this board beforePS: wtf is up with these captchas
Do you guys ever like to go through YouTube and watch con and cosplay fandom videos from before the 2010's?It's a hobby of mine. It makes me sad.https://youtu.be/vc2Zj1C_uKY
>>10967777>>10967778Wow there, ease up on the hate, bitch. I never said I'm happy that normies invade cons. I like anime and I'm a nerd and I like people who have sewed their costume or show otherwise effort and are nice. My point was that everyone doomposting about big cons is forgetting that there are a lot of chill places still.>getting into anime, cons, and cosplay before it went mainstreamDon't tell people what hobbies to have, moron, and those were the best times, precisely because the hobby was free from normies. Most likely free from you as well.
>>10882742>people who've been doing cons since before 2009 still kind of sideeye animecons.comNot being a con person and never having gone to them I don't know why, I only ever used them for con photos.
>>10967773Perhaps, indeed. Where I draw the line is if you're there to have a good time or broadcast that you're having a good time
>>10954711>unironically said it's one of the most political animes out thereHasanabi is a massive retard and the voting populace needs to be screen for autism if they actually take away real life political messages in fucking one piece.
>>10967847an imminently fair criticism, but even those people aren't really all that different. Even without the social media presence, people still do that social thing of wanting to appear important/cool at least as much as actually having fun. That sort of behavior totally predates tiktok>>10967834>Not being a con person and never having gone to them I don't know why, I only ever used them for con photos.Its kinda related to what >>10967847 was talking about. There's doing stuff for the love, and there's doing stuff for ancillary reasons. clout, networking, set up gatekeeping, imagined authority, etc etc. After the biggest cons either hit 10 years or crossed about 20,000 people, all sorts of websites and community chains started popping up. Some were genuine, some... did not feel as genuine.
>the year is 2017>everyone at the con is checking their streetpasses every 30 minuteswe'll never get this back, and it hurts so much
I'm doing a replay of Kid Icarus Uprising right the fuck now and having a blast I want to cosplay as Hades!
>>10899898>>everyone at the con is checking their streetpasses every 30 minutesNah, they still do that.>t. was at magfest and someone showed me how to crash scribblenauts using a tornado and a black hole
>>10899898>>10900580>>10899947I got the dsi in 2010 I think when I was 8 but never really caught on to the 3ds. The dsi has been through somw hwll not as bad as others but it still works and rhe screen isn't all that scratched but it does have issues turning off if you bend it some. I still have a psp that also went through some but the screen is still good. I also never caught on to the wifi u and then the switch took over everything Nintendo. I'm not sure its cause I dont game as much now or the switch seems a bit hard to use and too much stuff on it but I'll get one someday
>>10967292Do it anon!
>2015>bring og red 3ds with me to fanime that year and hawaii right after>get motherloads of streetpasses from congoers at fanime>fill out nearly the entire map of japan in hawaii>2 years later brother breaks up with ex and steals shit from us including my red 3dsalso she used 4chan and cosplayed here and there so if you're reading this bitch fuck you and go to hellI miss my red 3ds :(
This is for the older con goers. How does it feel to go to cons? Do you feel out of place? What is the average age at cons do you feel, and when do you feel like you've aged out of the con scene? I'm early 30s myself and I'm starting to notice the age difference, and have been interacting with people a lot less at cons
Went to a con couple years ago. I was already 40 and approached and talked to cuties in their 20s. Just don't be a creep
>>10968453Teach me your ways oh lecherous one. I beseech thee.
>>10968486>your waysWell as far as I've observed, since I went to anime and game cons just a few times (and our group was mostly interested in the gaming part), girls out there are friendly and like when you recognize the character they cosplay for. It's somehow acknowledging their effort, you start by complimenting the accuracy or, if it is a poor / haste cosplay, general compliments to break the ice. Talking about the character/anime/game they're cosplaying also fuels the conversation a lot. The age difference is somehow secondary because you aren't approaching a girl in a bar on a saturday night, in Cons they're there for a purpose as you do, as I said just don't be a creepy pussy starved idiot. The girl in the other post (Yae Miko) told me she spent some 300 bucks for that character then dropped the game. And I'm still there doing dailies years after.
>>10961065haha! based nana!
32 but still somehow get carded as under 21, cons are still easymodo. just use spf and take care of your skinidk how other people my age range who actually look their age, or older can even manage
Any good Latex / Vinil / Tight and shiny cosplays?
>>10967185>Lots of russian cosplayers that are still democratic but are stuck in the homeland do porn to make ends meet, so that isn't surprising.I hear they had to escape russia in order to get their Patreon payments. At least one latex model occasionally posted in >>>/s/latex went abroad.
>>10967185Wrists (where the rope is) are way too thick for that to be her. It's probably some slightly chubby 35 year old dude.
>>10968442 That bear suit looks like one of those inflatable mascots latex fetishists own, and if you see it closely, the whole arms are inflatable.
>>10968432didn't Shirogane move out at the start of the war?
>>10964868>>10964872>>10964876>>10964945Ngl, if she was public about these, I would had been glad to at least try the low tier on her Patreon, if she had oneFrom what I can see on these, she probably did lightcore porn for friends with the latex and light bdsm
Hi, I'm trying to figure out how this character's coat is structured. There are a lot of large random bits of fabric with thick outlines and different colors that suggest they're not connected, but that seems like a huge waste of fabric and the illustrator must have made a mistake. Or more likely, I've never done a military cosplay before so I just can't tell...I divided the parts roughly based on a very basic long coat pattern I have and come up with a plan to tack on the extra fabric even if it's a waste. But I only have patterns for straight long coats, so I can't figure out how I would get the waist to be tighter?If you recognize this coat in some military or have any similar sewing patterns, I'd appreciate any help! I don't really care about the military accuracy, but I would love it if there are existing patterns I could study from. Thanks!
>>10969362I would love to help, but this may be a case of an artist drawing some nonsense impossible design. What you did is pretty good already. As long as it looks similar from outside it should be enough
>>10969362Here's what I would do- CHEAT! Construct the coat as if it were a dress. Front, back, sides, zipper in back that will be hidden by the overcoat she's wearing like a cape. Or a nice long invisible zipper in a superfluous center back seam. Yeah, probably the invisible zipper. Then I'd add all the other strange straps and flaps over the top, sewing the flaps into the nearest seam.Costumes! They just have to look good, not function in any sensible way. Good Luck!
>>10969443>>10969447Thanks for the tips! I didn't want to cheat too much because I have some good white leather I was eyeing at my local craft store and didn't want it to go to waste. I'll probably try a mini 1:10 model out of some scrap fabric and see how it goes. I'm still not sure how to tighten the waist, so I might get one from Temu to dismantle, or just add a hidden belt inside.
ramona closet cosplay lolzz
>>10962808woah when did angie cosplay ramona???
>>10894270Nice
>>10928233She actually looks amazing in Ramona cosplay. Too bad you decided to pic this one picture so you’ll be attracting the incels
why the fuck is this thread still here oml
So Comikt is less than 6 days from now and still no thread about it on either /a/ or /cgl/. 4chan is truly dying & ober!Obviously all the early entry tickets are sold out but you can still buy them online or from in person stores like Mellon books or Animate.https://www.comiket.co.jp/info-a/TAFO/C107TAFO/For the gulls that have made it the promised land or just here in Japan on vacation. Who's going and what are you cosplaying as?I know traditionally anons met up outside at the "Red Saw" in Big Site.There are other events going on and around Ueno & and Akiharaba aswel.Expect crowds, lots of crowds...
>Winter Comiket this year is 3 days this timeExciting news for me because I was already thinking about biting the bullet and going for my first Comiket/Nippon trip. Any tips for first time newfags? I know that the con really isnt that cosplayish oriented but I still want to do it,anything I should know?
>>10969402Don't attempt to go in the morning, get an afternoon ticket. If you think you're prepared for your first trip, you're not.
>>10967534That's why you use a flash...
>>10966026I've been to the /jp/ meetup at the red saw, way back at the Summer 2017 event. There was really only one objectionable guy and it was more that he was an annoying douchebag, everybody else was surprisingly well-adjusted and normal. Admittedly that was 9 years ago so I have no idea what it'd be like now, if they even still do it.
>>10966028>>10966026i will be going for the cosplay, and i will not line up to take pics, i will just simply cut in line
