Hello. I want to share my cosplays. I don't claim anything, this is my hobby and I like to do it in my free time. I'm 20 years old. It just so happens that I often cosplay male characters, lol. This has nothing to do with anything, it just so happens that male characters often suit my personality, that's why I like them. In this photo, my Jeff the Killer, although I've already changed him a little, Gamzee from Homestuck, Jane the Killer and Damara Megiddo from Homestuck. I'll throw a couple more of my cosplays in the comments.
P.S. I'm writing this through a translator.

>Maison Otaku, a new French organization, announced that it would hold a major event in Paris to celebrate the manga Nana, claiming that voice actress Romi Park and singer Olivia Lufkin would be present.

>The organizers allegedly deceived Romi Park by not telling her that it was an unofficial event and making her believe she might receive an award presented by the French government.

>Standard entry tickets were priced at €60, with VIP tickets going up to €250 for the chance to meet Romi Park.

>Visitors soon discovered that the event was being held in an almost empty hotel with no decorations. Everyone stood around for hours with nothing to do.

>Most of the merchandise sold at the event consisted of shonen figurines with no connection to Nana.

>Romi Park arrived late, at 6 p.m., by which time many attendees who had come specifically to see her had already left. She appeared wearing a mask, likely so that her presence would not be noticed by Nana’s rights holders.

>At the end of the day, one of the organizers declared that the event had been “incredible.”

>France finally has its own DashCon.

>ITT: Dating in the hobby

Seems like there is a tough barrier to work through when it comes to trying to keep your partner within the hobby. My ex hated cosplay and anime and it has done nothing but drive me to want to date cosplayers, more to help them afford better cosplays and all that, as well as just enjoy cons together and all that stuff. All the apps try and say that you can narrow down your search, or apps like Boo, but it just ends up being normies who either catfish or ghost.
Is there an actual place or app to use that isn't dog shit? At the same time I've found that cosplayers generally want to be left alone at cons while they do their thing.

Best way I’ve found is to get their social media in just a friendly manner, not in a super hit on-ish way. After the con whenever they post a story or post about the con, respond to said story/post about how nice it was to meet them and use it to open a dialogue with them in the DMs. Start by talking shop but gradually begin to test the waters with social life things, but all within the flow of the conversation. Once you learn more about them as a person and have chatted some, only THEN do you shoot your shot, but don’t wait too long because waiting too long and then hitting on them makes you come across as disingenuous.

Cosplay girls either want drunk hookups or want the long game with dm messages, talking shop and then gradually becoming more than friends if the interest is reciprocated.

>Is there an actual place or app to use that isn't dog shit?
The short answer is no, the long answer is that the current meta is to force Instagram into being a dating app, so basically do what >>10961579 said. But at the same time, the last girl I dated (who I'm convinced might be a regular on this board, if you're reading this hello!) was someone I met through one of the big three dating apps that fall under your dog shit description.

I'm a near-complete beginner to con culture and the "scene" due to zero exposure to it until recently and I have too many questions swimming around in my head that I need to ask. I've only been to a couple of small ones in my mostly-desolate area and I want to step up to traveling to bigger ones but I'm overwhelmed. Please bear with me.
>Do a majority of congoers cosplay? I know it's common, but is it seen as a faux pas to not cosplay?
>Likewise, is it seen as a faux pas to wear the same cosplay more than once in a multi-day event, or to not wear it some days?
>I've read a lot on this board about "after hours" events and parties that aren't scheduled by the con staff. Do you have to get invited to things like that, or how do people find out about them?
>Do cons that don't have a stated sub-demographic (ones that use terms like "fandom" or "pop culture" instead of specifically "fantasy" or "otaku" or something) tend to accept all demographics? Would you be looked at weird for going to something more "western" like SDCC in an anime cosplay, or would you expect to see a lot of them?
>Why do some huge cons like Colossal and Dragon seem to place such significance on getting a hotel room onsite as opposed to just being nearby? Surely not just traffic, right?
>What's a "gull"?
>How do you not get sick every time you go to one?
>How do you keep track of scheduling for multiple cons across multiple years? Do you get notified about them? When is "con season"?
>If you're partying, how do you deal with inevitable hangovers or crashes?
And some more personal questions
>If you cosplay, what's normally your budget? Both in terms of time and money.
>How do you make friends at a con if you're not going with a group?
>How many cons do you go to yearly or on a recurring basis? There are a fuckton I want to see but I'm not sure if my expectations are unreasonable.
Thank you for your time.

Hello, gulls.
Complete neophyte to costume making and cosplay, but I wanted to get into it for some Halloween parties coming up.
I want to do the Flagellant from Darkest Dungeon, given that he seems relatively simple to assemble.

Questions for the experienced as I blindly throw myself headfirst into this:
- The leg and arm wraps are easy enough (gauze rolls dyed with black acrylic paint), but how do I make the stud looking things in his arms? I'm pretty sure in-game they're metal bars impaling him, but I like to un-impaled.
- What material do I use for the hood? It needs to cover the eyes but I'd like to be able to see. Is cotton muslin sheer enough to hide the eyes will still allowing vision, or do I use something else?
- I can't tell if his skirt would be made by a single piece of fabric wrapped around the waist, or if it should be cut from a larger piece. If it is cut, what shape do I make? I was thinking a diamond shape, with the top and bottom points longer than the sides (to cover in front and behind but leave room in the sides to move), and then cutting out a portion in the middle of the diamond to wear it. I'm very new to fabric work so please tell me if I'm being retarded and overthinking this.
- For the flail/collar/bracelet, do I stick to EVA foam, or is there a chance I can (on the cheap) make them out of actual metal? Granted, I have basically no tools or experience for metalworking, so I think this is kind of a long shot.

Additionally, I've never touched EVA foam in my life. Do I have someone make them for me (please give trusted vendors) or do you think I could do it with some good tutorials (please give me good tutorials). I've got about 2 1/2 weeks to make this work, and I think it can done in that time.
Thanks in advance, frens.

>What are women's excuse for being fat in your so called feminist society

Social media inflated women's ego to extreme levels. Back in the day, you got shamed and laughed at for being fat. Now women have people literally celebrating their fatness cause of the pc environment. But it's okay, women are insecure creatures and they usually know the truth about themselves even if people publically say they're fine.

>the right-wing spectrum of things.
The vast majority of people don't have actual political beliefs they genuinely believe in so much as the set of ideals they were raised in and thus continue to parrot, with some shifting possible due to personal life circumstances: for example someone who was raised unrestrained capitalist but ends up working blue collar joining a union and thus adopting some socialist beliefs. Thus there's very little difference between the "super-tolerant, progressive" cosplayer trying to get another one thrown out of the cosplay community and the uber-traditionalist Baptist trying to get someone shunned from the church.

>>10932258
NTA, but I find that objectively attractive people tend to be a flip of the coin. For some, the Halo Effect has given them so much that they didn't have to struggle for that there was never a need for them to be mean or cuthroat to get ahead, and so being a kind, supportive person is all they've ever known. For others, they've looked at all life has given them with minimal effort and angrily demanded more.

Words mean things retard. And one of your actual makeup related critiques, "looks crusty" is so pointless and vague OP asking for critique can't get anything out of it. You just sound like a coomer who's never worn makeup a day in his life. And if you aren't that's even more pathetic.

these are my attempts so far in mask making

>1 is from an existing mask used as a model wrapped in plastic, only 2 layers of paper
>2 existing mask too but with more complex shape (nose) I wrapped it with plastic but the shape is hard to stick too with this technic
>3 a model wrapped in plastic, I just achieved the third layer and I'll go for a fourth
>4 model wrapped in plastic, same model as 8, 3 layers
>5 my first ever attempt, I used a balloon and so many layers maybe 6 no gesso but spray painted
>6 same model as 8 but worse than 4 but hey it feels like it has a shape of an owl so we will see, only 3 layers but 4 layers of gesso onto it
>7 nothing more than 1 except 4 layers to make it stronger
>8 I used brown tape to cover the whole model so I can finally glue my layers according to the shape

so I have few questions, how come 6 is looking like a cheap cardboard thing while 5 doesn't really?
is it the matte effect of the gesso or the complex and irregular shape? Is 8 going to look like this as it perfectly shaped or not? how about 3 and 7 then?

I want to avoid by all means to my masks to look like paper, wrinkles or rough surfaces don't bother me that much if the whole mask doesn't look like cardboard or paper
