>just over a month away>no threadSeriously what happened? I heard some BS happened last year but it wasn't bad enough to wipe discussion off the board was it? Just got my room filled and looking forward to it.

>>10968541>>10968542Get a room.
Let's see how long we can keep this thread alive.
I think I miss the Ontario ALA years.
>>10970180It was comfy. Did ALA really get too big for Ontario?
HiNovice cosplayer hereIm looking for some suggestion on some femboy cosplays i can doCharacters with cool props++Sexy or butt out character +++Lewd is good!
Lady HUNK?
Ooo Good suggestion!I loveee gas mask charactersplus no pants :3
What make yall like the cosplay of a cosplayer?
>>10969284I hate to admit it, but these days I mainly prioritize bust size...
>>10969290What'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.
>>10969284It'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 cosplayYeah, I'm a pervert, I don't care
>>10969284I 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.
>>10970319this 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.

>>10966078>>10966080Hi, 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.comI'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.
>>10970286Doesn'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.
>>10970368I 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.
Any anons going to Kawaii Kon this year?
>>10970322The heat melted my costume but thankfully they let you use the hot glue guns in the manga library>>10970303I saw a Cirno in the dealer's room earlier today
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.
>5PM opening friday>4PM closing AA sundaywhat a bust
>>10970362I'm just waiting for the concert at this point.
FLOW was awesome... see you anons next year.
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...
>>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
was looking for a Japan thread... glad to see cgl is still filled with the same catty bullshit that crazy foids still push>>10966825Japan 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.
This might be a dumb question, but I really like outfits like this that have this sort of look you'd see in certain jfashions but are a bit casual, but I'm not sure where to look necessarily to buy it. Devil Inspired kinda has what I'm looking for, but I heard mixed things about the quality.
Try thrifting on depop and the like, you can find a variety of jfashion clothes from many styles on there for very cheap! Sometimes you will find good quality clothes for very little money because they have stains or small imperfections that are pretty much unnoticeable, I have many times with jirai pieces. I hope you can find something you like ^^
>>10970194this looks like fucking trash
hi guys! Looking to see if anyone has any creative non-destructive ways (meaning no permanent alterations) to do what I’m trying to do. I’ll be doing a Chris Redfield cosplay, and I have an authentic vietnam era flak jacket (pic related, not my exact one, but this is pretty much it), but for the cosplay to be accurate in terms of RE1 remake, I need it to add some lettering. My monkey brain actually considered electrical tape, which might be a little tedious, but there’s a lot of straight lines so I don’t think it would take longer than an afternoon’s time, but idk how it would turn out. Alternatively, I could say screw it and claim to be the original RE1 Chris where its a plain flak jacket lol, but that’s a last ditch effort. Any suggestions would be awesome!
>>10969614understood. thank you!
>>10969608Making this an RE thread for based RE broI want to do Jill's shoulder pads and I was going to use EVA foam like I've done for other cosplays, but the more I think about, the more I realize it's probably better if I use a lighter foam and sew fabric around it to create a better look. What foam should I use? I'm thinking about that yellowish, crap foam that they use in random stuff, but idk where to source it from/what its called.
>>10969979Are you thinking about foam rubber?
>>10969979You're probably thinking of upholstery foam. If you're in a decent-size city there might actually be stores specializing in foam, otherwise a craft store probably has something. Personally I'd probably use batting though, it'll lay better over your shoulders.
>>10970045I don't think so. Just from a quick google search, I think that material might be too 'dense' for what I would want to cut up and sew around. Like it wouldn't hold the shape around the shoulders very well. Unless you think it might work for what I'm trying to do>>10970049I think you're right on the batting foam (also from a quick google search). My idea was unlike the EVA foam stuff I've done in the past where I have to very particular about my cuts and the shape, I more so want to use the foam as 'stuffing' for the pattern I create. Of course, I'd still cut it to size and wrap the fabric around it, but I want to avoid making it super stiff, if that makes any sense
March 21-22, Oakland, CACarrier con is in one week! Do you have any meetups or vtuber events you're excited for?
To be honest, CarrierCon may actually have the most unique venue I've seen for a con
>>10969178whos going to cosplay as shimakaze
I wish I would have bought a ticket sooner. I never expected for it to sell out. Or how fast it sky rocketed in popularity. Basically unknown in 2023. Very nice and small in 2024. 2025 God it was overcrowded. I guess the ticket limits for this year are to prevent that. Still sad that I'm missing out.
bit late to respond, but i went there just to hangout with friendscon tickets were limited to 600 per dayfelt like a dead con compared to last year
Tempted to go next year with Ace Combat 8 being the main setting for it. The guests looked great this year too.
I am looking to do a helldiver cosplay for a convention I'm going to soon and I just broke the bank on a 3d printer to actually make the armor. Problem is I only have .PBO files rather than .OBJ files that I need to actually print out the damn armor pieces. I know there is a good set on galacticarmory but I don't want to shill out 30 dollars for it if possible. Does anyone have some files to share or somewhere I could go to get them?
>>10969435>>10969435What's a ".PBO" file? Is that from ArmA? If you want to extract models from a mod, there are package decompilers out there and you could extract some of the models that way.
Is Anime Boston a party con? Do people hang out all night at the hotel lobby like Katsu or Dragon Con?
Someone at the feedback panel complained about being sexually harassed at the rave by door security. I'm not one to judge based on looks but take it with a grain of salt because they looked like the kind of person who would make something like that up or treat a regular pat down like actual assault. But the rave may not return next year if they get too worried about stuff like that.Fill out the feedback form it seemed like they really wanted to better gague what people want at this thing and almost no one is really saying anything.I had a fun time overall but I just now saw that I had won one of the autograph lotteries and didn't get an email they just sent a message on evenly. Why the hell would I be looking at evenly?
>>10969770Sexually harassed at Royale does not sound like a lie
The console and tabletop gaming areas seemed too big for the amount of people using them. They could have put them close to the arcade instead.Use that space for cosplay meetups instead of a dank corner under the stairs.
>>10969770Apparently a few people got groped or harassed by security or staff at the rave, not just the nonbinary hambeast. Boston doesn't have nightlife for a reason I guess.
>>10969770The AB rave has had tons of drama and controversy in the past. IIRC it was shut down for a bit because of drug issues in the past.
