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 you just wear the outfit of a character, but don't do anything with your hair to resemble them. Unless they have the hair and don't need to stylize it or wear a wig, this shit grinds my gears.>at a con>walk past a Goro Majima cosplayer>"hey man, nice majima cosplay!">"hey thanks, my friend and I are our favorite mafia/criminal characters">look at his friend>"oh is he supposed to be Kingpin from Spiderman?">friend gets upset>"no, I'm supposed to be Nishiki from Yakuza 1..">he is bald, tall and chubby>gets mad that he wasn't identified as the right character
>>10962937>When you just wear the outfit of a character, but don't do anything with your hair to resemble themThat's more than half the cosplays I see at cons
>>10827665being russian makes it bad
>>10963691there are many talented and attractive russian cosplayers
>>10827665This Shinji cosplay is peak ngl.
Sharing a hotel room at a con:Have you done it before? Where did you find people to split the room with? Were they strangers? What rules were usually in place for the convention weekend? Did any problems arise? Would you do it again?

>>10957775heeeyy mythie I hope you're doing well... That fuckass photo I took gives me flashbacks lmao. At least you didn't have two other dudes spooning eachother in that bed with you one night :(Meet people at cons beforehand and figure out if they're chill. Once you find the right people that aren't creeps and pay properly then try rooming with them again.

I hope the average Jax cosplayer isn't as insufferable as all the Jax fags I've come across. By far the most unlikeable TADC character but also probably the easiest to cosplay (provided you don't go full fursuit). For such a simple design, I'm surprised how difficult it is to pull off a simple Ragatha cosplay.
>>10966081Are you the same guy who immediately calls any positive jax-related post "underaged" or "mental issues"?
>>10966086No but I am the same guy who will ask how can you still be defending Jax after all he's done since the latest episode. Those same people you referenced will attack you when asking questions about Jax's morality
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>Cosplayingsolo, group, admiring, meetups, photography>What the event itself offersGuests, shops / artist alley, rave, game room>The social elementParties (unofficial), hookups, meet new folks, mutual friends flying in from different areas>Hanging outPeople 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.
I like the vibes and buying art. Any panels I think are neat are a bonus.Kinda getting the itch to put on a panel myself, and maybe it's the influence of my cosplaying friends but I'm starting to want to give that a shot, too.
>>10964788I still go for artist alleys. That's also why I liked going to a Japanese con twice and would like to go back a few more times, buying doujinshi and reading them whenever I want makes it worth it. I don't care about other parts of cons anymore because I don't care about the cosplays I see or don't recognize them, guests are random tiktokers who just happen to like DBZ, there aren't anymore concerts by Japanese artists in the cons where I go, and professional sellers just sell bootlegs of anything you can think of.
>>10964788I am more in my element with a bunch of nerds and weebs. My friends arent really nerds, so cons help me find a community with that side of things, if only for a weekend.
NGL I've only been to two cons this year, a smaller one and Dokomi, and for both I didn't need to pay for tickets because I was helping a friend with her booth or modelling for the J-Fashion show. I still bought regular tickets for Dokomi 2026 because the whole fashion show thing might not work out this year due to a change in how they handle volunteer helpers, as well as the new organisation team that got implemented this year for the fashion stage sucking major balls.
>>10964788Quite a few things actually:>partying with the bros>a reason to travel>that warm feeling when someone recognizes and complements your cosplay, usually only obtainable when someone enjoys my cooking>good panels >the positive energy from seeing my friends also have fun and contributing to that how I can, thus creating a positive energy tide that floats all boats>the chance to discuss shit I like irl and meet more people into said shit>the nearly impossible chance that I might meet a woman who clicks with me, which for some reason I haven’t written off as entirely impossible
Would you go to Dashcon 2014 if given the chance?
>>10965814Honestly? Yes. 2014-2019 tumblr was so peak I'd go to a bad tumblr convention over a good number of "good" non-tumblr ones just for the vibe.
>>10966004>>10965814I dunno, bad cons are just fucking boring desu
>>10965814Having been to bad cons before (the worst one out of the ones I've been to being an actual fire or stampede hazard because there were way too many people in the venue), it's a no from me. The only good part about being at DashCon '14 was being able to tell people afterward that you were at one of the worst cons in history.>>10965960>I want pre-2020 cosplay back so much2010's still had a bit of the old cosplay culture left, but by then the cancer that is influencer-driven cosplay was already taking over. When I finally started regularly going to cons in 2014 (not dashcon but other ones), names like Jessica Nigri and Yaya Han were already established as career cosplayers that did FOTM cosplays instead of using cosplay as an extension of fan art. It's obviously worse now, but it was already bad then.
>>10965814I was there in 2014 Saturday and Sunday. It was decent if you treated it as a meetup not an actual convention (I ghosted)
>>10966054from what I heard the organization of #2 was way more serious and competent with strict limits on number of participantsstrange/teya has a few videos on it but I have not kept up with her recent ones after the announcement onehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k99zWRyOQ9U

>>10963939>>10963935not sure i even want new photos of me associated with that beastly pic. i did post one but quickly deleted cause of the embarassment of the original
>>10963993u look cute

The title says it all, cosplayers that did awesome cosplay but their career were cut short, as they suddenly disappeared without any notice.
>>10963992nags about politics on a daily basis in their locked instragram
>>10963831I looked her up, and she looks like a model.I'm not sure how to feel about her being a furry, even though her fursuits look good on her...
>>10964183hey, I did notice that some women in that are into fursuiting look like supermodelslike for example, Winfoxi, who did some Disney princesses cosplays long time ago and now dresses up in her fursona, looks gorgeous outside her costume and ironically also went missing a year ago, but for a darker reason, as she's ukrainian
>>10964008Isn't any cosplayer that becomes a left-winged queer?
I remember she had a couple good cosplays that got shared around a lot, but I can't remember what her name was. I found this in my files, but I haven't had any luck finding the source or remembering her name.
Do you guys ever like to go through YouTube and watch con and cosplay fandom videos from before the 2010's?It's a hobby of mine. It makes me sad.https://youtu.be/vc2Zj1C_uKY
>>10898051>"dear femoids: you complain about sexual harassment, yet you have boobs. Curious...:
>graduated the same year the iPhone came out>haven't been to a con since AWA2013 to meet mootI'm not sure I'd have the heart to experience what cons are like now.
>>10965879>>haven't been to a con since AWA2013 to meet mootWhat was that like?
>>10965881Gay as fuck. He gave me a hug in the hotel lobby. There's probably a photo of it on the internet out there somewhere. I also got to meet ZUN, which was cool.
>>10965879>I'm not sure I'd have the heart to experience what cons are like now.not really different, honestly. You will still see sailor moon and DBZ cosplay. The demographics have only lightly shifted toward more females than in the past, but still mostly male and the same age group.the only thing different really is that internet got even faster than 2013 and cons serving the purpose of a media distro hub was already on the way out. Thats pretty much locked in now unless you're looking for old stuff, or indie stuff, and even then....
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
>>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
>>10963012I cosplay anyone ive done anything from Miku to Ryoko from Saya no UtaSide thing im doing faust at some point lul
>>10963012A mix of well known and obscure. Sometimes I go for well known characters and sometimes obscure characters. Really it depends on the mood and interest.
>>10963012Obviously obscure shit. No reason to get excited once you've seen the same costume twice per day. Only good thing about it is going to group meetups. Also obscure things actually let you open up conversation since everyone has talked about the big works to death already.
Hey all, I’ve recently been going down the rabbit hole of wanting to dress up in kinda cute femboy-ish or feminine cosplay, but I’ve got kind of a muscly frame. Idk how to size things properly, or even if most cosplay patterns of that kind out there accommodate for my frameAny advice on shopping for those kind of outfits? Websites to use/avoid, sizing advice, materials to try/avoid, characters that fit the bill, etc would be much appreciated!Pic related is the kind of cosplay I’d go for, same kind of outfit and pattern
>>10965364I think you should do it and not try to be feminine. I love men dressed in dresses or skirts but they aren't trying to look they they aren't men. Comfortable enough with themselves to do that.
>>10965415I suppose the way I worded it in my post was less than clear, but the way you describe it is the way I mean!I mean wearing clothes typically reserved for feminine bodies while I have a non-feminine body. I just wanna know how to make it look good on my frame>>10965410These are good pieces of advice, so I’ll likely try out some very tight clothes, cut/sew them in the general mockup of what I want, and see if I can make it work on my body. I’d imagine I’ll be using a lot of spandex or other stretchy fabrics to accommodateIdk what kind of build I’d describe myself as, but pic related is me
>>10965364I feel like nowadays crossplaying is very accessible; if it looks good it looks good, but if it looks bad most people won't say anything because they don't want to come off as transphobic. So don't be afraid if your crossplay will look a bit off. Also you're putting a lot of thought into it, so the result will likely look better than half the AliExpress cosplays you'll see on con floors these days anyway.I don't have any real advice for you other than don't assume they won't have your size. The sizes for modern womens' clothing range from little girl to hamplanet, so you'll have a better time finding something that'd fit you than you would have a decade ago when buff dudes were doing gag Misty crossplays.
>>10965364If your frame is too muscly, you can'tGo for the "manly Sailor Moon" look like pic related instead
>>10965364u can do those ironic buff guy bunnysuit cosplays
Is barefoot cosplay ever acceptable?If you are walking around at a con?
its always acceptable
>>10963833 Here>>10964861Yep it looked like that.
