is my gyaru makeup any good ? i just started doing it a few weeks ago :3 what tips do u guys and gals have 4 me? drop em in da replys and i will update X3 also time stamp will be in replys!
>>10935074>"horrible makeup">mentions 3/5 things that have nothing to do with makeupWords mean things retard. And one of your actual makeup related critiques, "looks crusty" is so pointless and vague OP asking for critique can't get anything out of it. You just sound like a coomer who's never worn makeup a day in his life. And if you aren't that's even more pathetic.

>>10934537will u be my wife
>>10934536If this post is real, your gyaru make up is spot on. What's the outfit with it? Are you going to make your hair more expressive or stick with the pigtails?
Some answers here are strange
Do you prefer to cosplay as more well-known or "underground" less known characters from more obscure media?Historically all of my cosplays have been somewhat obscure game characters, at least in my region, very little people play Yakuza so the few people that recognized my Kiryu cosplay made me feel quite good
>>10963012Ultimately you do you. If you cosplay to be admired by others, then obviously this is a problem. If you complain for yourself, have fun (but don't get annoyed when everyone asks you what it is).
>>10963012I cosplay as whatever I want, regardless of whether they're well-known or not. I dressed up for a Halloween event earlier and people could tell who I was though (it's easy to mistake it for something else, so I was pleasantly surprised people got who I was going for).
>>10963012Yeah, it’s nice when I’m RE 2 Leon. Especially when Ada and Ashley cosplayers approach me. But there’s just something about being obscure character, and someone still recognizes you. I was pic related and the whole weekend only twice did someone know what I was (The group of Viking cosplayers were really hyped to see me.)
>>10963012That depends on a lot of factors
>be non black person (not white) doing cosplay>high expectations to be accurate with correct wig for contests and photoshoots>be black>no need to use wig or accurate cosplay. it's called ethnic wigs instead
>>10923843niggers don't like it when its the other way around. They know what they're doing in this regard>pushes for shit like not using wigs cuz le expression>has con thats race-restricted just for this>raceswaps characters to be black, sometimes labelling it as 'fixing'>attacks anyone who draws a dark character slightly lighter than the original>calls anyone else doing the same things to them racistof course most of them vote democrat, which explains their subversiveness and hypocrisy
>>10891574It honestly looks better if they cosplay a black version of a white character, instead of trying to look white. Same with white cosplayers who dress as an explicitly Japanese character without doing "yellow face." The only ethnic makeup that's common is Asians pretending to be white.Unironically the libs are correct about "cosplay what you want"
>>10931036I'd rather see the blackest retard gorilla nigger cosplay my waifu because they like the character, than see a professional asian "model" cosplay my waifu for clout
>>10962272I'm at point where I find it easier to avoid them completely at cons. Them being black was never my issue but overtime it's just not worth engaging with them knowing there's a high chance they either don't like white people which some legitimately do or make it apparent they rather deal with their own kind.
this thread is boring
I want to organize a local KPOP/Anime//tg/ convention. What are your tips for first time convention runners? What do you expect at minimum from any event you go to?
>>10962990Good audio. It is super noticeable and not that hard to do properly.I've been to events where they run the audio/videos from a potato that struggled to open a damn video player.Make sure you dont get antivirus popups (lmao, who uses an antivirus anymore)Have a playlist with enough songs that you dont have to repeat. Once went to an event that had like 6 songs on a loop, it was irritating.Mind aspect ratios for projectors. Modern projectors are all 16:9, but there are still a lot of 4:3 screens around, particularly provided by venues (they never change the screens because they dont break). You can set up your videos for 4:3 so you dont have part of it projecting outside of the screen.Mind audio clipping, it happens when you turn the volume higher than the amps can actually handle and distorts the signal, it sounds like shit.If you have performers scheduled, try to avoid repeats of songs. A cuple weeks back I went to an event where 3 guests (planned guests, not random participants) sang the same song.If you want to have contests and give prizes, make it clear what youre giving, whether you give cash or merch, make it clear.
>>10962990why not add furries and stamps collectors to the mix?
Old thread got that broken OP
>>10951139its a big thing to lug around..>>10957465and so is THAT
>>10957466this. its made worse by that fact shes a fucking manly looking gaijin, like why would you even try something so retarded when you stand out as a goofy alien in the first place.
>>10957466>those laces in her face you mean bows, idiot?
>>10963129The face of piracy
Otakon is a million years away, but I finally got a Marriott Marquis room, any tips for having maximum fun while there? I only experienced it during the day, is the night scene any different? Is it acceptable to switch to a different cosplays at night?
>>10960001>untrimmed HP capeMan, he has better taste than I expected. I considered goin in a skillcape+phat this year, but I kinda hate the direction jagex has taken RS in these last couple of years, so I'd feel bad cosplaying from a series that I no longer like. (maxed btw) (I kept my untrimmed HP cape btw)>>10960000Trying to piece together a cosplay at dealer hall sounds kinda fun, if I'm being honest. Could be a cool thing to try at some point
>>10960019Yeah it was fun putting something together on the fly. I think next year I'll just have something ready ahead of time. Im 6'4 so most of the shit the had didnt fit me. One of the few moments I wish I was a bit shorter
>>10960000>>10960019You used to be able to get dressed at cons, so to speak. When I started going to cons ten years ago, there were always a few booths selling cosplay parts: many sold wigs, some sold pieces. I remember you could walk in with no cosplay like our dear anon here and find something easily for at least day 1; I specifically remember one place selling Astolfo's wig and a different place selling his school uniform, so if you were tiny enough you could walk out of the dealer room as Astolfo. Haven't really seen dealers like that much at post-covid cons even though cosplay is super popular now, it's usually just the sword sellers in the back of dealer rooms left.
Bump for next year
>>10960002T???
are you weebs mixing harajuku fashion and fandom again
>>10955569nope, but thanks for asking
Just wanted to share the cosplays I completed last year
>>10959861Do you think there's a chance this thread is dead?
>>10960551Not on your life, my Hindu friend!
>>10927713>do men or guys who don't crossplay not get how much time and effort goes into that?100% no. The amount of chronically online dudes who have no idea a girl is wearing makeup is staggering. So, so many posts will praise a girl for "not wearing makeup, like the natural face" when the girl is wearing HEAVY e-girl makeup, it happens all the time. Apparently unless a girl looks like a gaudy clown, they just assume the flawless poreless porcelain face is just how some people are (lel).I cosplay with my GF and her makeup takes the absolute longest time to get perfect. I wear some makeup and even simple foundation/contour takes a lot of effort.>Marin100% makeup makes or breaks the cosplay.

>>10959176Nice
>>10959176pretty good
Is it even ....
I never went to these as I wasn't old enough but I've heard that conventions used to be more fun. Actual nerds going there having a good time.No social media attention whores trying to get cloutNot overly woke and annoying bullshit shoved down your throatJust nerds nerdin' out
Most cons nowadays are just purely profit driven, and everything about it is to squeeze as much money out of you as possible. Otakon, DragonCon and other non-profit cons still exist, and they actually put the attendee's enjoyment ahead of maximizing profit. But they have to compete with the big corporate cons for guests, exhibitors and audience, so the current con culture suffers no matter where you go.
>>10963097unc status
>>10926084depends what you mean
>>10963121wrong!
>>10926091Most of this is wrong except>watching anime was one of the primary activities besides panels.it was a magical timeIs correct.Getting to a 11pm showroom playing hentai and taking three girls with daddy issues back to your hotel room was something that won't happen as easily anymore, anime is too mainstream a hobby these days
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.
>>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.
>>10959370if the board was only kept alive by people making threads calling FOTM cosplayer a slut, then let it die
>>10902194Have you ever considered not cosplaying as such breedable characters?
>>10902106nothing special desu
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
>>10959718congrats, hope you had fun and if so, will do it again
>>10959727Absolutely! It inspired me to work harder for next year.
>>10951140it really looks good. the fit is great, the materials are greatnice job man, this is really cool
>>10841915I don't remember
10963862AMAZING post, you absolute fucking faggot
I am not complaining whatsoever but half a decade ago when I got into anime is was an almost exclusively male hobby. Now, when I go to a con, it might even be a female majority, especially among the cosplay. It’s fucking crazy! I went on a date with a woman I met at one of these things and she just weebed me. I couldn’t keep up, she seemed genuinely disappointed that I was such a basic bitch when it came to anime taste.What the hell has happened to this community over the past decade?
>>10962441There have always been female weebs. But if you’re talking about attractive ones specifically, more con-goers just learned how to actually do their makeup decently.Take Emiru for example, without makeup she looks like the average Chinese woman you’d see at a supermarket, and years ago she did her makeup in a way that made her look white.It really can make a world of difference when applied properly.
>>10962505>"average chinese woman">very cute girlalright dude.
>>10962441Your eyes weren't perceiving the girls because they were all ugly and/or landwhales. Now that many "how to looksmaxx" guides exist online, most weeb girls can rise to solid 7s with contouring and a diet.
>>10962441Not really.There were some pandora boxes that opened over the years.>social media: even in the era of facebook still being a thing, you could notice there was a slow but gradual growth of women in cons>also, cosplayers like yaya hand and jessica nigri kinda set up a template for getting noticed I'm sure there were other notable cosplayers with big titties at the time, but those are um, big examples I could think of, as far as first cosplayers where I remembered their names.>patreon begins to exist in 2013>onlyfans in 2016>social media exploded even more, now with scrolling on smartphones replacing channel surfing on TV>algorithms notice you liking cosplay girls, and thus recommend you more of the same thing...you are here. I will say, it's a harder to strike up conversations like the old days. Feels like you have to join one of the many cliques in the community, at least where I live.That's an aspect I don't like. Pic related is hardly a thing anymore in my area. You gotta make moves on social media to even talk to people.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>10962441why not?
Post those seagull feels.My cosplay friend is 23 but looks about 12. We like to tease her, saying that all of her fans are pedos. Well, we might stop now... Her Discord mod didn't show up to Dragoncon. Guess what he was arrested for?And my Etsy order from the UK cancelled.Previous:>>10941913
>>10963291>Even if I tell her the girl is like 16, she'll just say wait 2 years.Kinda the opposite here. My mom has a huge complex about older men dating younger women and has gotten on my case about dating women only a few years younger than me before (and I'm pushing 40, so I'm talking about 37 and 33 or whatever). It's given me a complex about it too, which sucks since I look young for my age and have had a lot of interest from 20-somethings lately.
>>10963291HUHH
THE CHINESE HAVE NO TASTEFUCK THE CHINESE
>>10963291My mom said of my last gf "Her hips are so thin. What if you want kids?"
>>10959992seagull like in steven?
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.
I usually leave immediately so I'm not a bother to the cosplayer going about their activities. There was this one time a cosplayer actually tried talking to me, and despite my shyness I forced myself to talk to her too. I don't think we got along that well and things fizzled out, but that interaction gave me a little hope. I want to try holding a longer conversation next time though.
what would happen if i wrapped an arm around a cosplayer's waist while taking a pic with her?
>>10963238Cancelled on instagram, probably banned from the con
