Canonically-muscular Kanbaru cosplay
>>10965621hika as Vampirellarunner up, I'm not sure. Gonna go with scarlettdevil as Ishtar
>>10965621My friend’s 2B. Be jerking off to them ever since.
>>10965621Can’t think of a #1, but I’m huge into Kalinka Fox’s Ellen Ripley shoot. She has a toy facehugger as a prop and implying that the facehugger has it’s way with her put it over the top for me.
The Kill La Kill cosplayer that let me take pictures of her Nipslip at AX
Popular female cosplayers seems to of become more of dressing slutty for attention than putting together a well made costume for a hobby
Half the shit I started so women would think I'm cool and then I kept doing it and came to really enjoy it so who cares
Women dont have morals
>>10954237Embarassing post
>>10874263Nigri will always be the queen of slutty cosplay and coom
>>10854442i will never sleep with her but i like her content and don’t pay for leaks. i like her and i laugh at the seethe she generates
Exactly what it says in the title, is it worth the fame, and money? What should I be warned about it?
>>10966511There were tons of hot girls in cosplay back then, I knew quite a few myself. Most were just way more conservatively dressed, and Nigri just had way more mainstream appeal than most, she looked like a random generic porn blonde and wore costumes based on basic mainstream shit like Pokemon so she attracted a big audience from outside the cosplay scene. >>10966534That's the opposite of things I heard from people who actually knew her. I knew one person who'd done a commission for her, and then JNig lied and said she'd made it herself, and I was also staffing AX in a relatively high placed behind the scenes role the year she was a headline guest and then just didn't bother showing up.
>>10966466Why wouldn't it be? It's just another venue for humanity's oldest proffesion.
>>10966674How can I keep escorting and ero cosplaying different? Or does it become an open secret at cons?
>>10966512Sad
>>10966467meeting people is fucking awesome for the person supporting, would recommend considering if it meshes with your personality though. putting yourself out there has risks too, if you’re a quieter person that needs space you don’t need people who are slightly unhinged thinking you’re in some sort of relationship because they paid for a calendar one time and you were nice to them
How do you feel about China banning everything from Japan?
SimpleChina dont want japan influence of twinks and tramps in anime on their communist youth cultureTransformers , Batman, Iron Man, ect are accepted within cultural oppression in China
>>10966405i love china and japan so seeing this is like seeing two parents fighting
Fuck China
>>10966169>Korea hates Japan for copying its language and culture >China hates Japan for war crimes and raping themI don't know what the rice balkans opinions are but I imagine they don't like nips either
>>10966151i don’t give a fuck because i don’t care about china’s shitty gubbermint and don’t live therejust more dickwaving>>10966169>north america>south americathey should get along like these two?
>Late 20s cosplayer who was active pre pandemic and did fanservice cosplays>Pre Pandemic, most cosplay girls(even the ero ones) where definitely nerds, hot girls who found an outlet and overall it felt more authentic>2025? I go to a con and the popular or attractive girls are either failed models, athletes, fitness addicts who are trying to make it big in the cosplay and anime world by being an influencer
>>10966441That's only an issue on social media. The main difference compared to the last decade is that now most people wear premade chinese costumes, but there are still passionate people who will happily converse about costume making.
>>10966441Blame western media being so shit that it drove normies and casuals to look at anime
>>10966441Not everyone is a disgusting fat slob like you, moid. Cosplay has always had beautiful fit people cosplaying their favorite characters.
>>10966602>fat slob>on a post commenting an observation that the presence of attractive cosplayers has increaseWay to project your own insecurities nonna
>>10966441fuck, i need to go to comiket someday.i really want to meet nonsummerjack and i’m guessing even though she was on a poster advertising a hostess bar in shinjuku, i’m pretty sure she is NOT on the menu
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.
>>10966625>>eu>100% dont make metal swords.legal where i live, but yeah i get it>I have noticed most propmakers tend to use 3D printing for stuff that they really shouldntmind elaborating?
>>10966626>mind elaborating?I've seen people printing parts with very simple shapes, such as rods or plates, things they could have just cutEhh, maybe the just didnt want to deal with stock
Any advice for a tranny whos thinking of doing fanservice cosplays at events??-What should I be careful about at events?-Biggest 'do" and "don't do" at events?-Specific advice for fanservice cosplayers?
>>10907375>>10900752there's like a 8 year old thread still up. Literally have fun gush about shit you love. Listen to autists prattle on about why they ship heterosexual men together and why they think it would work besides all the porn they drew of them. Literally just ask questions about peoples favorite thing and know you're in a safe space to sperg out about shit you love. Like it's really just that easy.download the guidebook app if you're a panel attender all these cons put the schedules on the app and you can set reminders for shit and have a map.stay hydrated and eat high protein meal or protein bars to synthesize alchohol to prevent hangovers vitamin B and !supposedly! before drinking powder mixes helpI go to Otakon and Magfest every year they're basically big fun parties like Halloween.
>>10908220this is actually harder to pull logistically than it sounds because prudes in the con and non con goers in the hotels. Getting a corner room with large floor space and kitchenette for drinks and seats bringing all the equipment and shit. Actually turning the music up without some fuck wit 20 year old knocking on the door>uhhh I have a panel about cross stitching at 7 am tomorrow and really need to get sleep we already have 3 might attendsfucking stupid ass dad who went on vacation and didn't check if the hotel had any events going on>hey I only have 3 days of vacation a year and spent 40 thousand dollars to see *insert shitty tourist attraction* with my wife's kids I'm gonna tell on you

Are people there nice? Are there any activities you would recommend? I was really hoping for karaoke since it's something I don't have in my home country
It's a relatively small con because it's run by a college anime club, but overall a good time. They had karaoke last time I went but that was years ago and I've moved out of the area since then.
>>10966179>Are people there nice?they're alright I guess. pretty typical awkward, progressive, tumblr-y college kid types>Are there any activities you would recommend?last year they had a "guess that anime song" panel that I thought was a lot of fun as well as one or two other I quite enjoyed but there were also some rather middling ones>I was really hoping for karaokethey do have karaoke, although it's not exactly what I imagine would come to mind upon hearing "karaoke". last year I had the displeasure of performing a rather subpar rendition of Porter Robinson's "Cheerleader" in front of an audience of at least 150 peopleand a question for you if you don't mind, why Toracon in particular? It's not a bad con or anything but I'd figured someone visiting from outside the US would prefer to attend a much larger/more well-known con that's not in Upstate NY
What was your first cosplay? >did a closet cosplay from a hotline miami mod maybe 26 people played>most work I did was dyeing a stupid hat
>>10841915I don't remember
10963862AMAZING post, you absolute fucking faggot
>>10963870why thank you, kind sir
>>10961695Thanks! Got to take it for a spin during dragon con. Got some pretty sweet pictures of it.
>>10841915I started wearing a cowboy hat
I've only seen one thread on this in the past, but it's getting into the peak time of year soon so why not see if there's any interest.>favorite designs/tailmakers (fin fun, mertailor, fin folk)>fabric tails vs silicone>the actual exercise component of swimming with a monofinI know there are mers on here and I'm trying to actually take the plunge and get a tail this year.
happy mermay

>>10965884Dark purple helmet then glue along the edge a clear half sphere, glue and or wrap the turban fabric
reviving bc the previous thread from a while ago got nukedwhat's everyone's thoughts on cosplay photography in 2024/the foreseeable future? it seems like the amount of bullshit we have to put up with as photographers in the cosplay scene only increases day by day and the cons outweigh the pros
>>10964241And now she’s deleted the doc and filtered her comments kek. I hope she learns a real, hard lesson from this. Knowing her though, she won’t.
>>10914831mmm so make this brief to me, a guy that isnt really into cosplay and much of a tourist in this board. Hows the interaction between phtographer and cosplayer? like you simply took the photo and leave or do you share it with the cosplayer?
>>10966192A good photographer will let the cosplayer know where to find it afterward. Bonus if they have business cards.
>>10964241>>10964263why defamation? she isnt wrong
>>10966210She was wrong, because she had no proof on everyone that was named. She was literally just running with gossip and looking to make clout off of it which does more harm than any good.

What a wonderful card to read #5349! Its neat that youve been a match before, i enjoyed the socks and all the goodies you sent me. I wish you a fantastic holiday season.
Still thinking about the previous year how I watched the thread for months but my match never posted even though I have super nice gifts even wrapped in themed wrapping paper and most items directly from their wishlist. I would curse her with a Netflix anime adaptation with her favourite franchise, but it has already received one.
#3568 here! thank you so much #3879 for the extras and the card! i hope you had a nice holiday!
>>10966423and thank you #7031 for the card as well! merry christmas, and happy new year!
Thank you so much #5349 for the card match! i appreciate that u added a gift even if it was just a card match, will definitely use the headband in the future. I think the dog design is so funny and it made me smile. The candy was tasty and a new thing to try, as well as the apple nail stickers- such a thoughtful touch that I can already imagine the fun designs I'll create with them! I hope your holiday season has been great. Thank you again.
Is cosplay dinergoth?
>>10965964they were reclaiming it
>>10965507>2 yearsI graduated in 2007, just in time to watch all my friends' life trajectories get annihilated in the 2008 crash when suddenly nobody anywhere was hiring. The current situation (starting with covid and continuing to accelerate to this day) has merely been a long-delayed second shoe dropping.
there's a magazine article on dinergothshttps://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/american-diner-gothic
>>10965385Absolutely. Even a lot of the ones that become big deals have trashy roots.

With Tiktok and Reddit cooking every newbie's ability to do the most basic of research on J-Fashion, what are your go-to ways of telling them to fuck off and do a simple Google search (Preferably without getting banned) or to simply avoid these questions in the first place? Personally I've started rigourously filtering comments for questions like "where to buy" and set my profile to 18+ because let's face it, most of the little rats who keep expecting us to coddle them are minors.Also what questions piss you off the most?
any along the lines of these:“Im (insert ethnicity/race that isnt Japanese or Asian) am I allowed to wear (insert J-fashion style)?”“Am I Asian fishing if I—” “I wanna wear (insert J-Fashion style) sooo bad, but I don’t wanna get bullied”“Where can I get lolita thats cheap and preferably not online?” “Is (obvious shady website that is notoriously known for being shady) a good website to buy from?” Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
ppl who overthink about coording and ask questions like "how can i wear (coord combo that has been done multiple times to a few times in magazines)??? it wont feel like lolita!!!!!"it shows they dont really look at street snaps or actual references a good example is in blouseless coord discourse because they are not hard to pull off and people who tend to freak out just overthink it too much n overcomplicate lolita"is this lolita???" to the most non lolita coord you lay your eyes upon, she could be wearing a jirai kei coord and still try and pass it off as lolita, just because there is a skirt and socks does not mean it is lolita, there is more to it than that i think. "where can i get (piece that has never been rereleased/old oldschool item/controversial) for cheap?" maybe in your dreams, people need to lower their expectationsthis isnt a question persay but i see so many accounts repost lolita snaps and magazine related images, pieces ect, non lolitas and faceless pieceless lolitas alike and it frustrates me, they dont care about actually wearing it, they just want to repost and move on, they see cute girl cute fashion and get their dopamine hit , empty people.
