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.
Here are a couple more of my cosplays. Pinkie Pie from Pony Mov, Infected and Unpleasant from Regretevator
how do you make little 3D details like this and yet still have a complete smooth surface?
>>10960553That surface isn't smooth. But what you are probably looking for is lots of sanding and a proper primer for the material.
I'm too old to understand this subculture please enlighten melike how do you feel when you larp as an anime character makes you feel like

>>10960480?Im a cis woman. I dont have so much boobs.
>>10960500> I dont have so much boobs.that can change, jk, fuck silicone, who cares about tits anyways, babies?anyways, put more attention in your head halo, blue is also an anti sexual color, try red instead, if it hast to be saturated, but with black, leve it balck, why blue or red, anyways, read about color theory
>>10960516>change colorWtf its Karin from blue archive. Her halo is this colors '--'
>>10895583>cosplayCosplay 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.
Have you ever thought about getting plastic surgery for cosplay?If you did, were the results favorable?
>>10919926no
>>10954366It appears to be so
>>10923810that's a shame, as soon as the balding becomes noticeable I plan to fly to turkey and pay for the hair transplant.

Thread for all other lolita topics and releases. Last thread fell off the board.Angelic Pretty General >>10910824Buy/Sell/Trade >>10899556Ouji General >>10868636Handmade Lolita >>10935785Kumya General >>10929865
>>10960172Yep, it's noble crown. >>10960178DHL sent me an email. Also, DHL is charging a total of 22% instead of 15% like they're supposed to.
>>10960183I 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? I tend to use Pinterest to look for references but the pictures there aren't the best quality always, and I'd like to see products or art from people in the game, if that makes sense.
Hi all, kind of out of the loop. Kumyas are like 30000 yen secondhand now, no matter wherever I go like closetchild, mercari etc. I swear you could find them for like 8800 yen a couple of years ago?What happened? Is BABY not making them anymore or something?
>>10960183They sent out a 10% off coupon to anyone with a late noble crown. I wonder what I should spend it on
Is it normal for people to ask for pictures and immediately leave after?Or is this another Switzerland specialty where everybody hates socializing?OR is it because I'm male?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.
>>10941060not my fault you're an autist with negative aura
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. The convention I went to has a facebook group. Would it be weird if I made a post in the group looking for friends?
>>10959101Doesn't hurt to do so. Pitch it as asking for photos back from people that took them.
social anxiety only allows me to work up the courage to only ask for a pic... My therapist was giving me ideas of how to have convos, will try that at the next con.
>>10959268either you try, or you don't try and you kick yourself in the back nonstop about how you didn't try
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.
>>10960335Do goblins count as furries?Dont paint yourself with regular paint, use theater paintFor 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 suitedIf you go with half mask you gonna need fake fangsAlternatively to painting your whole body green, you can wear a zentai, it might be more appropriateAs for the loincloth, you can make it from a burlap sack. It is suppossed to look shoddyYou 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
>>10960347I'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
>>10960335https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y8aBuDE8pQ&ab_channel=StiltbeastStudiosThis 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
August 29th - August 31Greater Columbus Convention CenterAnyone here goin? Any panels sound interesting?Will you be staring wistfully into your overpriced Naruto themed drink at the attached bar?What you cosplaying?I always find myself having a better time here than I expect, and there was more than one fairly active thread for this con last year with a surprising number of people attending so figured I'd make a thread this year.
>>10960267got a picture with a bunny girl at the con, was pretty awesome but I'm fairly sure she was just being nice and grossed out by my presence. still fun con
This was my first con in like 5 years after being bored with how swamped colossalcon got when anime became for normlords, loved it! So many kind and fun people.And, space to actually move around freely! Woo!
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.
Con was fun this year. Shoutout to that Shiki and Fujino I saw in the parking garage. And the Bojji/Kage duo.Though contestants need to step up their game with Guess That Anime OP
>>10960448>Though contestants need to step up their game with Guess That Anime OPSomehow they knew all the 80s and 90s shows but no one in the room knew K-On's OP.
Years ago, when cosplay started getting popular, but also sexual, I remember being a big fan of a certain cosplayer. They turned out to be quite rude to their fans, and I was left being disappointed by it. Later as the years went by, I came upon information that her cosplay hype died down, her twitch and vtuber arc couldn't lift off the ground, and she lost her twitter verification, and just isn't popular anymore. Basically what I'm trying to say in this thread is; fuck that whore. But also how has the cosplay community/scene been? Has it gotten more slutty? Worse? Better? Are people chill, or rude? Tell me your experiences from before (5-10 years ago) v.s now.
>>10956229>>10957729Sorry for blogposting, I don't have anyone to talk to, especially about things like this. Disregard my previous post if you wish. What I really wanted to say is, thank you for pointing out the resources, I will read them. Also excellent of you to mention physical appearance, as actual male autists are often unaware of it. Personally I am doing well, I am gaining muscle. I got a lot of money too, I am just in the process of learning how to show it, because turns out your bank account doesn't matter if you're driving 2000's honda and dressed in your high school clothes. Also to normies reading this, I was unbothered when typing my previous post.Mentioning this as I am aware that what is normal to me, may appear terrible in the eyes of others. I have a funny story about this actually.>Be me, working at Big Corpo>Picture a company's retreat. Dinner time, everyone dressed nicely.>Alcohol and relaxed atmosphere made people nostalgic.>Everyone at the table is starting to share funny stories from their childhood.>My turn comes next.>Not many funny stories, can't think of anything. >suddenly, eureka!Comment too long.

>>10957729>>10957730>thank you for pointing out the resourcesRegarding Models, like I said it's a good resource if you're completely clueless (like I was, much like you, for similar reasons though in my case it wasn't as extreme as rape), but some of the info in there is outdated. You have to keep in mind that the book was written in 2011 before all the bullshit of the 2010's really kicked in, let alone before covid permanently altered how society functions.>I got a lot of money too, I am just in the process of learning how to show it, because turns out your bank account doesn't matter if you're driving 2000's honda and dressed in your high school clothesI think flexing is like fitness where it's good to do it a normal amount, but doing too much of it either doesn't help or works against you. With your car, it's good to keep it clean and maintained (which costs money), but you don't have to have a Rolls Royce or whatever. Keep in mind some of the men you're competing with don't have a car altogether. As far as clothes go, it's more important that your clothes fit properly and look good on you than them being from Dior. So focus on learning how to dress yourself (step 1 is to not get advice from /fa/ by the way), and after fixing your wardrobe with moderately priced clothing maybe consider a few designer pieces, but I'd personally stay away from them. Signaling wealth matters way less these days, the more important thing is to signal the absence of poverty.
>>10956904That's sad
>>10902579I honestly think banning community drama posts helped kill the board. Was it a toxic aspect? YesBut it's still a part of our community building.
>>10909525Anime went to shit once Japanese sci fi and fantasy nerds stopped making it. I do not count isekai trash as true fantasy.
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

>>10949770I use a 500mm f2.8, it’s a little heavy but the photos are worth it. I mean, if you aren’t spending $13,000 on photography, ate you really into the hobby?

Healthy gyaru CivilizationalFeminist "gyaru" is anti civilizational
Anything that benefits the middle 85% of men in a society can be said to be "civilizational". These are the men who build and defend a civilization, they contribute the most, and usually receive the least. Titanic is a vivid exampleThe men of the 2nd class have by far the highest death rate. They don't have the privilege of the first class men and the lack of moral scruples of the third class men to get on lifeboats.Too often a society would trend towards some sort of anarcho-tyranny, where the top cats and bottom criminals squeeze the middle. This would inevitably lead to the death of that society.A Civilizational society is therefore one that properly recompensates the middle bulk of men for their enormous contributions.The often denigrated Salaryman of Japan is one such contibutor
This is also why you'll see that the Men of the Middle are almost always the group that have the highest support for right wing and far right political parties, highest than both the top men and the criminal men, because those parties at least promise policies that reward the middle man for his services

Best gyaru JAV is GAR-236, made in 2011.Ain't nothing feminist about that. Dunno what the delusional western foids are talking about ITT
Im here and the convention line makers have the collective IQ of -100
>>10960120Turns out they had a 2-day pro wrestling show on that weekend at the con and the promotion was streaming from a phone. You know it's bad when they don't know how to run a proper broadcast.
What in the actual fuck. Basically if you work AX Chibi as anything (vendor, guest, ect) they basically don't want you working any other cons within that month. Shame too, I thought AX Chibi was fun, but this is some bullshit. https://www.reddit.com/r/animeexpo/comments/1mmsy4h/ax_chibis_absurd_noncompetition_tc/
>>10958823This would be a great way to not get artists for your con, assuming most people read the fine print, but they don't.
>>10959144The sad part is it’s so competitive that there’s plenty of artists who would willingly sign that. I’m so tired of every event now focusing on getting artists and vendors to pay the maximum in vending and add on charges. Even first time events charge ridiculous fees for artists nowadays. Not sure that there’s even a breaking point because there’s a never ending line of artist alley hopefuls who will put up with any kind of fees or policies just for the chance to sell their work. It’s sad what has happened to the scene.
>>10959132True. AX may as well be one of the most overrated.
Are they shooting their foot over a small convention
>>10958823and this is why a lot of people should not work with AX.
