Hello /cgl/
Im going to my first con ever this Sunday, sadly im going alone since all my friends cannot attend.
Im going as Yoru from Csm.. What are some safety measures i should take attending the con alone?.
>>
>>10970751
Do not accept drinks from strangers,
>>
>>10970754
yeah, this has to be a must
>>
>>10970751
You don’t have to let anyone take pics of you just because you’re cosplaying. You can say no for any reason
>>
>>10970751
Have fun! I would say that there usually isn't much you really need to worry about, safety-wise, at the con itself. Most "sketchy stuff" that people whisper about happens at outside events. That being said, don't be afraid to chat with people and make some friends at the con to go out with later.

If you end up going out after hours, my personal piece of advice would be to keep your phone charged and already have an idea in mind for how you're gonna get home at the end of the night. You never want to be stuck depending on someone you only kinda-sorta-know to give you a ride or be stranded.

Anime characters are mostly very thin.
Thus it a woman with thin body is the best.

> started taking cosplay seriously last year, posting online for brand deals and reach and such because making shit is expensive
> i try to lean more into the cute/moe side than the ero side of cosplay
> i dont think ill ever show lots of skin, i know girls who get crazy reach from it but its just inauthentic and im not a slut, im a bit shy about showing my stomach but cleavage and tight outfits are fine

i was reccomend to try craft a persona that keeps others there, that feels relatable and honest while still being well, coomworthy or whatever. I know theres a lot of autismlarper girls who pretend to be quirky for cock, but i dont think im that retarded yet. just being cutesy and a bit ditzy is much more natural to me. i do interact a lot more with my fans, unlike most cosers who just yell creep every 2 seconds. so what trope is the best to go for?

Good, keep it up. Be a good example for the community. There are way too many cosprostitutes around.
>>
>>10968591
why are you shy about showing your stomach when swimwear for women exposes it?

>>10968862
you can be insecure about your face while the whole world sees it every day

What characters are you doing?

>>10968591
if you aren't physically attractive and don't want to goon bait you just have to be extremely good at the craft part and fight for relevance in that area. You will have a lot of competition for attention that way too.

if you just want to be a "personality" online maybe become a streamer or something.

anyone can be "cutesy and ditzy". You aren't going to get sponsors just for being like that. You might get followers, but 90% of them will be fat losers who want to send you cum tributes.

trying to be a cute cosplay girl with the most basic personality but not expecting your entire fanbase to be horny dudes is pointless.

Hello everyone,,, recently I bought this hair extension in tedi cause it reminded me of my OC and quite actually liked how it looked on me. I've been planning to cosplay my OC for quite some time but the idea resurfaced recently.
So I've decided to search for a long wig with bangs that has the same ombre on AliExpress and found... None.
I wanted to ask you guys a favour if you could help me find a wig that's as close to the extension or at least give some suggestions,,, I appreciate any suggestions and help. Thank you!

Hey /cgl/,
Haven't done cosplay or anime cons since the late 2000s. How's the OnlyFans era treating you? There's chicks running around with bimbo pokemon tiddy tattoos. Pretty damn funny.

I hear Kipi is a grandmother now.

You're so lucky. I wish I could see something that amazing in person. Though to be honest I don't know if I could handle it without having to run to the nearest bathroom and change my pants.

Shits LOVELY idk why everyone complains about this you still find the same people around theres just more people around

I've seen OF girls openly promoting at cons, including one at the AX Westin afterparty a few years ago who was walking around with a backpack that had a screen on it that was looping videos of her getting fucked.

>I hear Kipi is a grandmother now.
Are you just making fun of her age or is she literally one because the math does not sound right.

Hi all, I'm extremely new to this stuff and looking to get into it for fun. I am very much not a people person, I do not intend on going to cons or showing off any of this, I just want to make accurate costumes to have fun with at home or at smaller friendly gatherings. I think it would be fun to look in the mirror and see someone other than myself from time to time.

I'm almost completely unfamiliar with the skills needed to do this-- I have no experience with prosthetics, tailoring, plush-making, etc. All of the resources online seem to be very focused on the social side of things, either emphasizing buying certain pre-made cosplays to get attention or not elaborating on the specifics of making costumes in favor of pointing out which cons are the biggest and best to go to. I do not care about this shit and would much prefer detailed tutorials on specific fabrics, replicating certain fictional armors, etc.

I've checked the pinned post before making this thread, but it doesn't seem to be very helpful for cosplay specifically. The main site it links for help, cosplaytutorial.com, has not been updated in 6 years. A lot of its links are dead. The other site in the pinned post, cosplay.com, just seems to be an extremely simple feed of various peoples' cosplays without any place for discussion or tutorial. I am desperately trying to avoid using Reddit or Twitter as guides. There also seems to be an extremely weird amount of drama that I cannot avoid when trying to find simple things like the right type of fabric for tights.

Hence: this thread. Help pls. I do not know how to start and cannot find the resources to do so without all the focus being on cons. The rest of the internet seems to think I'm more interested in getting pictures of myself taken as opposed to dressing up as a character I really like, it is not helping me at all.
>>
(Pic is semi-unrelated. I just chose Kitty because I don't want to post a picture of myself here, but she's who I plan on dressing up as first (just because it'd be incredibly easy to do). I look very similar to her, and her Shadowcat costume doesn't seem too hard to replicate, so why not.)

I hate to admit it, but these days I mainly prioritize bust size...
>>
>>10969290
What's the confusion here? If your race is too different from the character's the cosplay can look bad. For anime characters with ambiguous undefined features it might not matter as much, but for others it does. Skin tone also plays a big role. There's wiggle room, but if your skin is too dark or too white for the character it won't look good.
>>
>>10969284
It's either the cosplay being hard to do and being awesome (like most full armor cosplays, or Cyborg Raiden)
Or the cosplayer is a hot woman wearing a hot cosplay
Yeah, I'm a pervert, I don't care
>>
>>10969284
I like seeing unique stuff. Things that aren't done commonly or from older stuff people don't do anymore. Seeing the billionth FOTM cosplay just bores me, even if it's super high quality effort.
>>
>>10970319
this desu. I'll always prefer a mediocre cosplay of some old obscure character I've never heard of to the billionth technically competent but extremely boring umamusume/kpop demon hunters/whatever other slop cosplay

I'm looking for tutorials and guides how to make makeup and wig styling for crossplay.

Hi, could you share your ID number, as well as the ID numbers of the people who sent you these gifts, if you have them?

Thank you so much for the gift #3879! I'm so sorry to post it so late. I'm incredibly happy about your amazing gift and it's more than I ever expected. You picked out the perfect items. The h.naoto and Baby items match my style perfectly, I always wanted to get AP arm warmers and this Hello Kitty bangle. The sanrio gifts and the sweets were really lovely too. Thank you so so much!!!

If anyone is interested in doing a Secret Santa (or any sort of gift exchange) with /cgl/ users again this year, or any year in the future, please send me an email!

secretseagullsanta@gmail.com

I'll need to know if there's any interest, and I can also send an email as a reminder when Christmas is getting closer.

It'll probably be done a bit differently from previous years, more suiting the small number of people, but if there's anyone left who still wants to do gift exchanges, I'll help make it possible.

Also, if anyone has anything they want done in regards to the 2025 event, please email me about that as well.
>>
>>10970286
Doesn't seem like the community is there for these anymore. Very little excitement or hype chatter, and very few posts of gifts. It would be better off it was put to bed if there weren't enough people with their hearts in it.
>>
>>10970368
I agree, but even if only 2 people remain who want to exchange gifts, I'd help them connect. Even if it ends up being done in a way that doesn't resemble past events at all, maybe it'd all be done by email. And I don't think any new thread will be created, but if there's any desire to share things with /cgl/ this thread could stay up.

But from the looks of it, the event seems to not have much of a future. I was thinking if anything could be done for people to go back and look at old memories, when new threads will no longer be made for the event each year. There probably would not be much interest even in that though to be quite honest.

Somewhat of a melancholy feeling this year, Friday being cut short to only a few hours and the reduced scope of events makes it feel a lot smaller. But the smaller crowds were nice.

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...

Don't attempt to go in the morning, get an afternoon ticket. If you think you're prepared for your first trip, you're not.

>>10967534
That's why you use a flash...
>>
>>10966026
I'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.

i will be going for the cosplay, and i will not line up to take pics, i will just simply cut in line
>>
was looking for a Japan thread... glad to see cgl is still filled with the same catty bullshit that crazy foids still push

>>10966825
Japan is a once in a lifetime thing for most people, it's seen as special to many and others going to that special place devalues it especially to foids and weebs. Having people cosplay is seen as a gut punch on top of that as many people who are into the hobby.

I've met people IRL who've gotten insanely offended by the fact I brought up wanting to cosplay at comiket. It's quite close to the responses in this thread I got, just not as keyboard warrior mode.
