>>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.
where are the rest of the gifts?
I’m going to guess this is from my gift Santa, there was not a note to let me know- but Santa thank you so much! I love my gifts and wow.. a whole dress, I definitely was not expecting that. It’s so pretty with the roses and green gingham. The Moomins and Chief keychain- I have never seen him on a keychain! I put it on my keys immediately. The Moomins are on my computer desk so I see them everyday. Thank you so much Secret Santa, Happy Holidays - #4100.
>>10966078>>10966080Hi, could you share your ID number, as well as the ID numbers of the people who sent you these gifts, if you have them?
Is cosplay dinergoth?
>>10965385Absolutely. Even a lot of the ones that become big deals have trashy roots.
>>10966398non-paywalled version here: https://www.smry.ai/proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thenewatlantis.com%2Fpublications%2Famerican-diner-gothic
The most diner goth thing I can think of is>Cosplaying>as a nameless Ghoul from the band Ghost>at ColossalConCould probably add on more like what beer they've got in hand but I don't know enough on that subject to make an authoritative brand namedrop
>>10967214isn't colossalcon awesome?
>>10967660"Awesome" is measured by the standard of ColossalCon instead of the inverse. Dinergoth isn't an insult, it's just a stated fact here
Why am I the only one making these EditionWHATS YOUR FAVORITE>IDOL>ORIGINAL SONG>OUTFIT>EVENT
>the acceptance error was caused by a new member on the Panels team.kek it really was someone's friend that accepted all of the idol stuffWhats going to eventually happen is they are going to do a idolfest next year and reject all of the idol panels once they find out that people don't actually support eachother and just support their friend group/idols
lmao absolute aidol is now reposting her tweets on her insta story and commenting on the tweets just like cherie ife does. plus she uses some very specific emojis cherie has been using, and just the way she formates her tweets is pretty similar too
>>10968195that's only at the bottom rung. people always betray their friends if it means networking with someone more popular than them. just be better.
Crazy shit going down in the aus thread theyve got idols with jp-style slave contracts
>>10968230The group will get nowhere unless they're based in Sydney or Brisbane. Their contract wont amount to shit without an actual business to support them.
Heya /cgl/! I made the decision to give cosplaying a try. I cant describe how much i enjoyed it, especially because im a very extroverted person. What do you guys think of my first cosplay? :]
>>10962619lol
>>10948725so you don't know
>>10948725>>10949609who are these "some"?
>>10948725>>10949609Stop bumping this
10967622Said stealth bumper botfaggot
I was wondering if I ever make a cosplay, I firstly understand what makes it bad. Even if I dress properly, make up, good wig, I feel like it would look bad anyway. I was wondering if it is something else, like face structure or just being ugly. Also not talking about cosplays that don't match body build or those that want to look bad ironically.
>>10827665When the cosplayer is white, fat, or male.
I was considered a "bad" cosplayer back in the day (early-mid 2000s) simply for having another "philosophy" about cosplay that people here and irl fucking hated.It was basically that for me, character costume designs should be seen as a "concept art" for the costume and it's my job to make that "concept art" actually invoke the feeling irl. For example, say you are doing Asirpa, the costume I would design would genuinely look period accurate, would have far more ainu design elements, would use the correct historical fashion elements, real fur, real proper hide etc. An anime or manga can't truly show what these costumes would look like IRL, so for me most cosplay looks a bit too "2D" and it's my job to make them truly work in a real life context.It's why my hottest take is there is no good Jojo cosplay. If it doesn't look like it belongs in a John Galliano 1997-2010 show (pic related/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcpBwlS0oYQ). Then imo it doesn't truly inspire the "look" that Jojo design is going for.
>>10967559Post your work otherwise this is just hot air
>>10938810Get fucked, four eyes!
You know your chopped when absolutely no one ask you for a photo
Westerners will never look this good.
>>10967482Not that op person but it's embarrassingly obvious...even her hair strands are drawn on. And her leg accessories are warped from editing her legs thinner. Editing apps and photoshop are so advanced if you were an idiot yiu couldn't catch it, lol.
the landwhales are seething hard here.
>>10967551true
Cosplaying is the same as making fanart there is no right or wrong way
>>10966301That's not true. Some asians are too fat to be some anime characters.PIc related, her waist is too thick, her legs are too thick.
Hii first time posting on this board but I’ve seen others show their cosplays on here so I wanted to show my best picture I have. It was taken professionally by a stranger on a convention last month
Only asians manage to look right.
>>10966331You can see the AI working it's "magic" all over her frame in real time. It's like they don't even try to hide it anymore.
>>10944756 That's a real Katana!!! You can't cosplay with that.
Just think how many girls were convinced to show butts to honor 2B
It's a cosplay that anyone can do.
Oops, it was sideways.
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
>>10967192gz on qt black gf anon!
>>10967173There's a difference between some trap crossplaying, and every other troon you see just being some fat dude with zero makeup growing out their norwood 4 hairline wearing a skirt and leggings (that don't hide their unshaven leg hair at all).
tfw normies don't know Man-Faye
>>10967209No one would have liked Man-Faye if he demanded to be taken seriously. Perhaps something to think about
>>10967209That picture is 20 years old, anon.Two decades.Normies don't know line chat from line trap, so just take solace knowing one day they'll be reminiscing about how sad it is that nobody from generation derriere knows who skeeby skuttlefuck and the jizzlekids are
Aug 22 - 24, 2025Hyatt Regency O’Hare & Donald E Stephens Convention CenterWho are you planning to cosplay as at the event?What are you hoping to see or experience during the convention?Where do you plan to spend most of your time at the con?When are you planning to head to the convention?Are you going alone or with a group?
>>10964103Basically this, but I wouldnt say it's "struggling". It's fine. It has it's problems but it's still fun and better than most Kopf cons.
>>10964103>>10964103Well people pussied out when it escalated beyond shit talking earlier this year
>>10964196Because one of them is washed up azn rapper who tries to be black and the other is a black nazi who wishes he were white
You expected this thread to simply die out and fall off the catalog..., but it was I, DIO!Not today anonbros! Not today, especially considering the *ahem, cough cough* "rumblings" of today.
>>10967448what happen anon
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.https://www.comiket.co.jp/info-a/TAFO/C107TAFO/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...
>>10967186nah, anime expo is the mecca of cosplay. comiket is just a market and japaneseboos get triggered when you say that
>>10967417how was their english?
>>10967418Ahh the curse of indoor convention lighting: absolutely horrible facial shadows
Any good Latex / Vinil / Tight and shiny cosplays?
>>10964868One Russian latex site was run by a couple, she was a model and a lawyer and he was the photographer and a banker. They had a lot of money to spend on top of the line latex. So yes, people are able and willing to spend a lot of money on latex.
>>10890710Fucking love octokuro her porn is great
>>10965318That's definitely her from what I see, those shoulder outlines also look too similar and as the guy said earlier, having that those HQ and Asuka costumes in the closet is too close to be a coincidence.>>10966926Lots of russian cosplayers that are still democratic but are stuck in the homeland do porn to make ends meet, so that isn't surprising.
>>10927881vinyl is topical
>>10967519>07/12/24Literally 17 months ago.
>ummm whats wrong with cosplaying a character from a series you haven't watched?Unironically how do you respond without sounding mad?
>>10964661Skinnier than you. Go ahead and post arm with timestamp, I'll do it right after. If I don't then you may obviously take it as my concession.
>>10964286just for you
>>10948089Unironically, this *should* make you mad. If sound mad when you respond to this, congratulations, you have a soul.
if the cosplayer is hot WHO CARES
is anyone here attending? any lolitas?

>>10964345Here and bummed, the games room is trash, the panels are boring. Seemed like there's very little to do other than get drunk and people watch.
>>10957952Better version (sans the ford cap, Tigers hat was more appropriate)>>10967413>Seemed like there's very little to do other than get drunk and people watch.In all fairness, you're in Michigan. Not my dead neck of the woods but still.
>>10957952There's someone seething in the Katsucon21+ FB group about "cultural apropriation cosplays".Bruh. ALL anime cosplay is cultural appropriation. Does it only become a bad thing when dreds get worn by a white guy?
>>10967481Really the games room was what disappointed me most. There were less than 12 cabinets for 3000 attendees. The parking was a disaster too, people were getting stuck, towed, and just leaving because they couldn't even get into a lot. With a better venue it would've been a decent con but there was far to little space for the amount of people that turned up.
>>10967505Wrong thread?
