>>10913299did you really have to shop the face into the uncanny valley?
>>10913308yes :3

I did a jax cosplay and at least 3 women wanted me to fuck them what the fuck is wrong with people.
People who go to cons are mentally ill. I used to dress up as orochimaru and the amount of girls that told me that wanted me go back to their rooms and fuck with the cosplay on was stupid. I didn't. Because I was always in a relationship when I went to cons. (Stay loyal.) But like it was weird to see what some of those girls were into.

>>10912358Whenever I’ve sold prints I’ve asked if they wanted them signed and if they want the back or front. Most of them say front, but others have said back. But usually I have a partner helping me out at my table, dealing with sales and packing the prints. I have an upcoming small con that I might be doing by myself, so I think to save time, I’m gonna sign all my prints on the back.Only thing is, I also sell zines/mini comics, and I’m never sure where to sign them. Idk if I should sign them on the title page like traditional authors do, or on the front cover since that’s what most comic artists do.
>>10912464Watermark on a print is weird, but I’ve seen embossed/debossed marks on prints. But that’s usually on high quality and/or limited edition numbered prints by a well known artist, like James Jean.
>tfw you’ve been so busy at your day job, you didn’t make any new art or products to sell.>tfw you’re only doing one con this year and it’s a shitty 5 hour con in a high school cafeteria that’s in your hometownGranted,I make most of my money doing commissions, but I feel bad not having any new products this year. I’ve been doing this con for the past several years since I like representing my hometown, but I know I’m going to run into the same people every year. I kinda dread it though because there’s always this one autist that commissions me every year to draw a character in his sketchbook that takes up an hour of time.
>>10908789I guess it just took them awhile to review I got waitlisted but I don’t know if it’s worth it
Have any of you had to send NDAs or copywrite protection agreements to manufacturers? I'm planning on printing some original art alongside fan art and was wondering if I should send some kind of agreement to protect my original art pieces.
Foid here,I'm starting to think cosplaying is only worth it if you're attractive
>>10913008Now that you mention it, the ones I have seen been empathetic towards men have been ftms.
>>10913155a lot of ftms these days made up something called transandrophobia which is just MRA shit for ftms
>>10836557Jessica isn't or wasn't particularly attractive though she was just thin and got a boob job later on
>>10913008You've never seen a married couple with children in public with the mom hugging the dad? Where do you live? Russia? Gotta be some slav non-whtie shit hole. Even in Africa women love their men.
>>10913008just because you grew up in a dysfunctional family and have a shitty personality not even a mother could love it doesn't mean women don't love men. if we take all violence on opposite gender, abandonment on sickness, hours spent on domestic chores statistics, I could go on forever. women do so much for men than men do for women on a daily basis. and most of the time they dont even acknowledge it. the most likely cause a pregnant woman can die is murdered by their partner and knowing that and the fact there are women out there still willing to date and marry men, you guys should be thankful.
We're just under four months away now.Have you got a room yet, or are you still hunting?Set on your cosplay? How's it coming along?How do you plan on getting there?
>>10912341I don't see why not. Just stay on top of it. You'll be fine. Stay hydrated and don't forget to get some rest while there. It's gonna be pretty hectic before the con even officially starts, so enjoy. Keep your eyes out for swag as well. It's everywhere
As someone new to DC, is it just me or are there a lot of retarded old boomers that only have "HAHA IVE BEEN HERE FOR X YEARS" going for them in life?I can make friends pretty easily irl but I feel like there's a bit of unwarranted elitism from a subpopulation at this con. I know it's a 70k+ attendee con so there's some bad apples
>>10912502You sounds pretty cringy and gatekeepy
got a room, but don't know what I'm going to bring. I wanted to do something biiig! but I won't get anything big done in time, so I'm thinking more casual and achievable. I'm leaning towards one piece stuff, I've been obsessed these past 6 months or so. so I can't think of anything I'd rather work on
My buddy has apparently moved in nearby, so it looks like I'm finally gonna make it for this one. I'm finally completing the Atlanta trinity. Feels good man
who's going? what are you going as?this'll be my first con since like 2007.
>>10910314I dunno about that one...
>>10910364No one is going to show up to this clusterfuck.
They'll be announcing the VA for Marcille (Senbongi Sayaka) next
>>10909723I got a room at the Travelodge by the Space Needle. Within walking distance of the con, has breakfast, pool and stuff. $200 a night, but split between con friends it's cheap. There are cheaper places further away.>>10909889Will message you. Not sure if we still have room.
>>10909660>people kept offering me drugs.This is a bad thing?
I lost my nail inspo folder on my old pc so I'm starting with a mini dump in hopes of other anons dumping as well :)
I really like these 3D fruit nails, but I would definitely prefer a full set of one fruit rather than mixing and matching
>>10912677strawberry nails are the toppest tier of nails to ever exist 2bh
First attempt at nail art. I'm left handed so only the right hand is good. Also my first time posting and wtf are the captchas, I'm misspelling it the fifth time. I hate it here
>>10912961Those are gorgeous! I love the stained glass look. Can I ask what your process was for mapping that all out on the nails? Or did you kind of just dive into it?
Does anyone have any examples of gyarus/gals from thsg time? I know that gyaru as people know it now didn't start until the 90s-00s but I've heard that the term started around in the 80s. So I was wondering if anyone had any examples of these 80s gals. Really anything works.
the term gyaru was introduced into japanese in the 70s, not the style. this is a conflation by westerners. gyaru wasn't a name originally used by girls who wore the style, but rather labeled as such by the media. even in your image it says that the term gyaru was used to refer to any trendy girl in their 20s, giving the example "ikeikegyaru" which translates to vibrant energetic gal.

>>10912844NTA but its hard to know what your issue is if we cant see the full coord
>>10912843You’d have to be retarded not to see how bad this is. It’s not rocket surgery.
>>10912948nayrt but this has nothing to do with age. This is edema and people at any age can have this. Yes, it's ugly and I don't want to see it. But this person (probably a guy, let's be real) has no shame and no taste to begin with, which is glaringly obvious from their outfit and accessory choice, so they're not going to care what anyone thinks.
>>10913103That's a you problem. The whole coord is bad.

>>10912782just came from kirbiicon it was fun the venue was actually bigger than last year they expanded more stuff in the parking lot so i got more to see although i went alone because all my cosplaying friends moved out
>>10913056Yeah same. The extra space might explain why it felt a little emptier this year. It probably wasn't, just spread thin. I had to laugh watching all the randos off the street sneaking in through the opening next to the DJ bus
>>10912904Yeah, I was at Iwai, at the hotel party near the elevator. I think I did better at AWA, though.
So Otaku's less than two weeks away and their schedule hasn't dropped? Or is it just a badly run website? (Most con site are desu). I've got a free pass for Saturday but wanna know if Friday or Sunday's better
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.
>>10912971From the experience of people I know, jp cons pale in comparision to the big US cons, cosplay restrictions really kill the vibe, and you'll meet the occasional racism in sellers refusing to sell doujin to foreigners for fear of them scanlating it. But Japan is Japan, you'll still have fun.
>>10913007I'm not American, the biggest con I've been to was Japan Expo in Paris but from what I've seen on /cgl/ it's more or less organized the same way. >you'll meet the occasional racism in sellers refusing to sell doujin to foreigners for fear of them scanlating itI don't plan on scanlating anything to begin with, I hope there won't be any misunderstanding because of this. I look racially ambiguous but I don't think that's going to help in my case. I also plan on shopping in Akihabara's and Nakano's Mandarake but if I want new stuff I might as well get them during the con.
>>10913014Might be a lot more fun for you then, I've been to a few Euro cons and they were shit.It's not like you walk up to a seller and announce you're going to scanlate. They assume just by the fact that you look or sound foreign that you're going to scanlate. If you look Japanese and either your Japanese is perfect or you can do the entire interaction without saying anything then you should be completely safe. If that's not the case just be prepared that someone may refuse to sell to you - and I'm not saying all sellers are like that but some are.
>>10913158This isn't just about doujins. As a white foreigner who speaks Japanese, when I tell Japanese people I consume anime/manga they often assume I do it illegally and they start to take an automatic moral stance. It blows their mind when I say I use Rakuten eBooks, Abema, Japanese Amazon Prime and so on and do it legally. Or maybe I've just met jerks.
>>10913158>>10913160I'm French, and Japanese people usually know that France is nearly as obsessed with manga as they are so I doubt anyone will assume I read manga illegally. At least the ones I interacted with. Maybe they assume this because the first country they think of when thinking about the West is the US, and anime are way more popular than manga there and for a long time it was easier to find series by pirating them than by actually buying VHS or DVDs or blurays? idk I'm trying to understand.>If you look JapaneseAbsolutely not, the closest to this was when Indians in Japan assumed I was Indian and Pakistanis assuming I was Pakistani. I don't look Asian at all though, and certainly don't look mixed either. and either your Japanese is perfect or you can do the entire interaction without saying anything then you should be completely safe.I have an intermediate level in Japanese, I can do small talk easily but can make some mistakes here and there because I forgot a lot of words and kanji, and I'm not used to talking in Japanese in general. It's not a problem at all when shopping in actual stores but I don't know how conversations tend to go with sellers/fans in cons in Japan. How is it usually, you just say or show which doujinshi you want to buy and you give them your money, or can small talk happen? In small cons in my own country I've made small talk with some artists but Japanese cons look so crowded I have a hard time imagining it.
