I wana do a koenig coplay for the next con but the guides online are all shit. What do I need to look as close as possible like in game without spending 300 euros on a pair of trousers.

You can use guitar strap material (usually comes in rolls) to make the straps.

I doubt it but I try my luck.
>>10968280
No I mean the whole outfit costs a lot if I use the guide.
>>
>>10968331
/gq/ here, yeah, it's gonna cost a lot. It's tactical equipment. That's just how that be. If you go cheaper and find equivalent airsoft grade gear, that'll save you some, but unlike normal cosplay, gear like this is usually made for obvious rough use. That and do all of us a favor by learning how to properly wear that gear. Stg if I see another drop down holster on someone's knee i'm gonna lose my mind.

Anyone here going? I'm a local so I'm definitely going but national harbor is a 50 minute drive or a 2 hour train ride for me. Not sure what I wanna do. I heard parking is too expensive and that most if not all hotels and airbnb's are sold out

I saw this amazing Zelda cosplayer on Instagram but I noticed she doesnt seem to be wearing any underwear or anything and she's at a con. Is she secretly wearing something underneath?

>>10968701
Nah, as somebody who's been in and around the cosplay scene for decades, there's almost a direct inverse relationship between how slutty a cosplayer looks and how slutty she actually is. Chances are she's got a BF just out of shot and he's the only one that actually gets to fuck her.
>>
>>10968710
however, a lot of cosplayers are models too, and almost always have a million naked photos always taken by men on their page framed as a "boudoir shoot"
>>
>>10968620
Could be a C-String, but more than likely, considering this is hugely off-model cosplay, she is an e-thot doing this to promote her brand/get off on exhibitionism. The risk of staff kicking her out probably turns her on more than the costume itself.
>>
>>10968710
Foh sho, she's totally monogamous, bro/sis.
>>
>>10968715
There's a lot of that yeah, but that's different from actually sleeping around, and I've known a bunch of girls who wore super slutty cosplays at cons but didn't have anything online that was any more explicit than that.

>>10968723
>get off on exhibitionism. The risk of staff kicking her out probably turns her on more than the costume itself.
Basically this, I've known a bunch of cosplayers who fit into this category, some who barely even had online presences. Always wished I could get me one of those but they were always in committed relationships and most probably would never have had the courage to do it if they weren't.

When I say black weebs I mean weeaboos who just so happen to be black I should've clarified that. Now that I'm looking back on my past experiences as a black anime fan myself why we ended up with the bad reputation we have now because in the past it was only other other black people who didn't like us. Now it's a whole different story for obvious reasons.

The irony is that I've noticed while trying to force their pro-black blm stuff they end having mostly white friends and in the black female nerd case white boyfriends behind closed doors. It's a weird dynamic. Wanting to have your own space all while demanding acceptance by non-black people.

Black anons, just do what you want. >>10964374 literally wore the canon hair and still got harrassed and most of the exceptions posted here are literally given backhanded or flat out racist comments still, even with no mention of politics or BLM or whatever. there's no winning here so just wear whatever type of hair you want and have fun. Most won't even care and those who do willl seethe about us regardless.
>>
>>10968696
You're missing the context of everything you just spoke about.

Everyone gets harrassed online. There's very very few people who actually get nothing but positive comments.

Second, you're right that you wear whatever type of hair you want. That's not the point here. The point is trying to say that they be considered top tier cosplay using their dreads and nappy hair. Most blacks avoid using wigs, making up excuses like "it looks bad on me" or something else. And then it's even just as bad when it's someone not even wanting to shave their face, in the case of men.

It's the constant bombardment on social media and even irl of black cosplayers continuing to complain that they should be taken seriously with their "ethnic hair" and half lazy cosplay. Most of them buy it online anyway and they can't even be bothered.

>>10962166 this is a good cosplay. No matter what race she was, we all think it's good. There's no question that she pulled it off.

>>10922650 this on the other hand is just a light skin girl wearing Rei's suit and stopping there. Could easily just be a halloween costume.

Films/tv shows that are based on cosplay/con culture or at least reference it in some way.

I felt that 2Kawaii4Comfort was (for better or worse) the most accurate description of going to a small con and having a bad time at it. It's a shame it ended on a cliffhanger.

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.

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...

What keeps you coming back to cons? Even /cgl/, as small as it is, shows there's a billion possible combinations to explain: "Why?" Some answers, but definitely not all, would be
>Cosplaying
solo, group, admiring, meetups, photography
>What the event itself offers
Guests, shops / artist alley, rave, game room
>The social element
Parties (unofficial), hookups, meet new folks, mutual friends flying in from different areas
>Hanging out
People watch, the weird experiences only cons can provide, that one time in the year "the gang gets back together"
And of course any reasons I forgot to include are always encouraged. The floor is yours, gulls.

It's autumn
>>
>>10934533
the meteorological summer season starts on June 1 and lasts three months, until September 1.
Astronomical summer lasts from the date of the summer solstice until the autumnal equinox, which occurs in the Northern Hemisphere on September 22 or 23

Where do you live where it's autumn already?

Where I live we can still get heat waves until mid october at the latest. If I get past that point I finally feel like it's autumn even though it officially started ages ago.

Also, to clarify why I made that comment; I don't associate hot weather with halloween, and it will be a few months (from when halloween stuff starts popping up in stores, not from now) until halloween is actually there.

Previous thread: >>10850236

Instead or recapping a 2 year long slow thread, allow me to recap 2 years of Dutch conventions and they're current state:
>Animecon lost half their visitors, is slowly falling to irrelevancy and going through severe financial problems (again)
>Tomo started to ficus more on the fairs, is now rebranding to Japanfest and already went on a "ruined reputation" speed run
>Viencon has grown a lot, learned drugs are bad m'okay, and it wont be long until they can rent out the entire Center Parcs location
>Abunai! is somehow still standing tall and winning by not doing anything
>Nishicon is a decline, had maybe 50 visitors this year and pulled the plug
>Ibaricon came onto the scene but proven itself problematic to work with
>Elfia is no longer welcome at Castle De Haar
>Castlefest remained comfy to this very day
>Heroes Dutch Comic Con and Made In Asia are going stronger than ever
>Comic Con Holland came onto the scene and is growing fast despite some backlash
>Aniway, a Dutch anime magazine, ended their run after 24 years.
>Nintendo is tired of there being 9001 Poké-cons using their IP and took action
