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.

how do you make little 3D details like this and yet still have a complete smooth surface?

>>10960553
That surface isn't smooth. But what you are probably looking for is lots of sanding and a proper primer for the material.

Cosplay for women is just a way to get attention from men, if they could get it in another way they would do that instead. Most women don't care about it outside of that.

Cosplay for men is mostly from the point of view of looking at it instead of taking part, it's becasue the have jerked off so much to characters from anime, video games or whatever else they get an instant boner if even a hint of that character being real comes into view.

It's like if you played wow as a teenager and jerked off daily to night elves, then some 5/10 girl is dressed up as one and you get a boner cause your brain is so fried it thinks it's your daily faptime.

No, every attempt of me looking male has been a failiure.
Got kicked out of the mens toilet on several occasions and at most gotten a few they/thems.
Men in my height do not exist, my chest is visible even when binding and hips aren't easy to hide.
Plus once I open my mouth, it's obvious.

While I'm not crazy about how it felt, I just waxed my face for a weekend of cosplay and it gave me a really good result. Didn't get all of it but what was still there was super easy to shave and didn't show through makeup. I normally have a very visible shadow even after color correcting concealer/foundation so would def recommend if you're willing.

DHL sent me an email. Also, DHL is charging a total of 22% instead of 15% like they're supposed to.
>>
>>10960183
I suggest checking it again, the way it works is that there is the normal fee of whatever its taxed at and on top of that 15. So its not just 15% and the normal one is based on what category it goes under. If the normal tariff is 15% (just a random example), its basically 30% all together.

Ie
$100 item gets at $15 tariff from normal stuff then another $15 on top so the tariffs is 30+ whatever taxes+ handling fee.

DHL should show you the normal tariff percent in the breakdown but im not sure if they are showing you the extra 15 or just assuming you know its on everything.

Hello everyone, what are some good websites, artists/models, or brands that could contain good references for different types of lolita fashion?

Does Lord of Battles do good helmets? Or is it all crap?
>>
>>10960065
It's standard Indian manufacture. One size fits none, often oddly shaped but at least it's thicker and sturdier than the 1.2mm crap from larp stores which dents if you drop it. Indian stuff tends to be okay for mail and open helmets because those are difficult to fuck up. For closed or visored helmets you kind of have to either try them on or get them custom made because people don't all have the same eye height.

How do you even make friends at a con?

I went to a convention as Chainsaw Man last October and while over 20 people asked me for a pic, nobody actually stuck around or even made an attempt at small talk. I was hoping to meet people.

There's another convention coming up next month and I'm not sure if I wanna go get photographed and go back home all alone with no new contacts or friends again.

I'm 27 and I went to a comic con in my city last week and 10 people asked to take pics with me and I let them but I didn't say anything else to them or try have a conversation because I thought it would be awkward.

I still had a good time, but I might take a break from SJ next year. The escalator situation alone makes me want to see HBG get some renovations before I go again.

It gets worse; as was mentioned in the OP, the old Texas thread fell off page 10 for about a month before this thread was made and /cgl/ has only gotten slower since then. I wouldn't be surprised if we'll already be well into 2026 before we hit the bump limit. Most con discussions happen within the discords for the respective cons these days, hence the current glacial speed of this board.

>>the map on Guidebook was unreadable unless you already memorized the layout of the HBG center
That was super annoying. They should have an interactive map or something. I learned the map layout last year, and only because I was getting lost trying to find rooms. They should have more maps around the facility.

I had a pretty good time too.
Cons:
>the Panty & Stocking Studio Trigger session was about an hour late because they checked out IDs three times! three times!
And they weren't controlling the line so a lot of people that came in later got in earlier too. It was a mess. It was cool to see the behind the scenes stuff though.
>heavily booking a lot of interesting panels and meet-ups on Friday, leaving Saturday a bit barren
That was for me at least. Friday was exhausting and I didn't get to go everything I wanted. Saturday had me wandering around a lot trying to find things. Also they booked the Harada Q&A at the same time as the Studio Trigger panel which annoyed me since I wanted to go to both.
>18+ market was mostly ecchi variants of already existing content from the artist alley
I get it, but I didn't see much stuff, like figurines I was looking forward to. Also like you said there was more interesting 18+ stuff in the normal artist alley. Kind of goofy. Oh well.
Pros:
>concentrated the meet-up areas and general events
Last year it felt like they were scattered around, but the meet-ups were all in that one area with good photo places. That was a good improvement.

Poorly run by some dude who calls himself "con daddy" and doesn't seem to understand ecchi or anime in general. The dude runs too many cons and they're all disorganised as hell and treat the attendees like paypigs. It's way overpriced and underwhelming last time I went. Not really much going on; no cool hentai panels, nothing crazy in vendor hall or artist alley, and the BO was astronomical levels kek

You need to learn how to vibe and talk to people at conventions. If you're underage that's one thing. If you're old enough you should budget for a hotel room so you can party and party with strangers and make new friends. The best part about conventions is meeting people and subsequently running into them at other cons in other years and it's all so fucking beautiful. It's the only time you don't have to suppress your powerlevel because guess what? They know all the dumb memes you do and have a lot of overlap in interests and other things you enjoy. You can ask someone why they're green and actually learn something about Startrek because they fucking love star trek so much they painted themselves green! SO WHEN I ASK THEM THEY ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO GUSH ABOUT THE SHIT THEY LOVE! I FUCKING LOVE NERD CONVENTION SHIT HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Depends on your money situation, but if you can, ESPECIALLY if its connected to the con, hell to the yes.

100%. Also, for cosplaying, its amazing to just go right to my room and fix shit/redo some cosplay stuff/change in and out of cosplay.
>>10955438
>I go by myself to cons cause my friends dgaf about anime and yet every time I go I get invited to someone's hotel room because I busted my ass down at the rave or something similar.
Another reason. I used to throw afterparties when I'd go alone to cons, but now I'm too old to do that, my wife and I just drink, cosplay, and pass out free minis at the raves (I've never made friends faster than when I passed out free minis at an emo rave night).

Hey /cgl/ I come seeking help. I want to dress up as a green, bald, goblin in a tattered loincloth. How to I achieve this? What body paint should I use? Can I just use the spray paint they sell at lowes?

If it works out well, I might also go to my first furry con ever as a goblin.
>>
>>10960335
Do goblins count as furries?

Dont paint yourself with regular paint, use theater paint
For a goblin you most likely need a mask, I just checked amazon and they sell a lot of half masks, those might be the bes suited
If you go with half mask you gonna need fake fangs
Alternatively to painting your whole body green, you can wear a zentai, it might be more appropriate
As for the loincloth, you can make it from a burlap sack. It is suppossed to look shoddy
You will also want a weapon, any cheap plastic sword will do. Better if it is curvy like a pirate sword. You can paint it to look rusty
>>
>>10960347
I'm not doing a mask. why shouldn't I use spray paint?
I'm painting myself. Green zentai look stupid when I'm not pretending to be filthy frank.
I like the sack idea.
I got a foam dagger from spirit Halloween.
>>
>>10960354
>I'm not doing a mask.
Do as you wish, but a gigantic nose is the most salient feature of the goblin, without it you'd look like an orc
>why shouldn't I use spray paint?
Its very hard to remove and will irritate your skin. Also might clog your sweat pores getting you overheated
>>
>>10960335
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y8aBuDE8pQ&ab_channel=StiltbeastStudios

This is actually a really good video/channel for making masks and shit out of Spray Foam, which is probably what you'll need to do honestly.
But the basics are all the same, and spray foam is surprisingly durable (just do it in a well ventilated area and let it off gas the fumes for 24 hours or you'll choke yourself out/get really high)

Good luck Goblin bro

It's no humongous party like Colossalcon, which, in a way, is a good thing really, but it's usually a good time. Personally had a less fun time this year but I also mismanaged my time and went with someone who killed the vibe a little for me. Was also a little disappointed I didn't see any gulls like the previous year, that's always interesting. Next year I'll prolly just solo again.
