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.

She uses those cosplays to whore for attention. Why would she AI it up to look ugly? She even crowdfunded this particular one

To counteract all the moids here and the overwhelming spamming of slutty girls, here's a thread dedicated to the cuties who cosplay.

Emphasis on the "cute" part. Bodybuilders cosplaying just to show off their abs are just as bad as the girls who only do it for onlyfans.

Good. We need more of them.

Hi all, I'm extremely new to this stuff and looking to get into it for fun. I am very much not a people person, I do not intend on going to cons or showing off any of this, I just want to make accurate costumes to have fun with at home or at smaller friendly gatherings. I think it would be fun to look in the mirror and see someone other than myself from time to time.

I'm almost completely unfamiliar with the skills needed to do this-- I have no experience with prosthetics, tailoring, plush-making, etc. All of the resources online seem to be very focused on the social side of things, either emphasizing buying certain pre-made cosplays to get attention or not elaborating on the specifics of making costumes in favor of pointing out which cons are the biggest and best to go to. I do not care about this shit and would much prefer detailed tutorials on specific fabrics, replicating certain fictional armors, etc.

I've checked the pinned post before making this thread, but it doesn't seem to be very helpful for cosplay specifically. The main site it links for help, cosplaytutorial.com, has not been updated in 6 years. A lot of its links are dead. The other site in the pinned post, cosplay.com, just seems to be an extremely simple feed of various peoples' cosplays without any place for discussion or tutorial. I am desperately trying to avoid using Reddit or Twitter as guides. There also seems to be an extremely weird amount of drama that I cannot avoid when trying to find simple things like the right type of fabric for tights.

Hence: this thread. Help pls. I do not know how to start and cannot find the resources to do so without all the focus being on cons. The rest of the internet seems to think I'm more interested in getting pictures of myself taken as opposed to dressing up as a character I really like, it is not helping me at all.

(Pic is semi-unrelated. I just chose Kitty because I don't want to post a picture of myself here, but she's who I plan on dressing up as first (just because it'd be incredibly easy to do). I look very similar to her, and her Shadowcat costume doesn't seem too hard to replicate, so why not.)

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? :]

its only funny if you make it obvious that you're doing it for funnies.
Fat bearded guy in a Miku outfit wearing suspenders and a "yamaha" logo around his belly button? Funny.
Fat guy in a "femboy hooters" outfit wearing the exact same outfit you just saw some 5ft5 twink wearing? Not funny.

I'm a pretty average looking guy and I still find joy from crafting costumes and props and have made genuine connections with many people through it, including finding my wife.

If your goal is to get Instagram followers then yeah, you need to be a conventionally attractive woman willing to flash your T and A, or an attractive man that is extremely talented. If you just want to have fun and meet people, you just need to have a genuine smile and a can-do attitude.

If 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?

Looks great! Though I'd recommended putting something on your lips as they look quite bare compared to your eyes. But the eye make up is amazing!! I'm jealous of your skills!!

I lived through anime's surge in the US. From the small beginnings on tv through its highlight years in college, to its mainstream appeal now. At no point did a kid get beat up or made fun of for liking anime. Anime was always considered cool by some faction ever since it has existed. I knew both ghetto and sports minded crowds. All of them thought anime was cool.
>>
>>10970441
If anything, it was mostly nerd communities on the internet that got especially weirdly hostile about anime early on. But that's because the online nerd scenes were always filled with fringe racists who get mad at people liking anything not from the US. Even a lot of the oldheads pushing weebshit to western (American) audiences, even just movies or videogames, have a weird orientalism thing going where they don't really seem to respect non-white media to the full extent on to this day because they got so stuck in their times.
It's pretty much the reason 4chan ended up existing. SomethingAwful nerds were too racist to be okay with the anime subculture existing.

Regular people don't give a shit. But on the internet it was cool to be bitter, resentful, and angry at everything you didn't like.

that's the problem with you people. everyone just says "anime fan" or "weeaboo" but you shitheads have to make being black your whole goddamned personality. you're a "black" anime fan, so other and different and special than the rest of us. black this, black that, blackity black black SHUT THE FUCK UP. if you people could just be who you are without making your skin color your entire personality, we'd be able to stand being around you.

I know I'm replying to an old post but fuck, that shit in that pic with EBK really pissed me off. I've known Al for almost 25 years and the idea that it was anything except him being an out of touch boomer who isn't good with social media and just mindlessly liked a comment on his post is fucking nuts. Even more ridiculous was all of the people dogpiling him assuming he's "white" when anybody in the West Coast cosplay scene knows he's Vietnamese.

You need to learn how to vibe and talk to people at conventions. If you're underage that's one thing. If you're old enough you should budget for a hotel room so you can party and party with strangers and make new friends. The best part about conventions is meeting people and subsequently running into them at other cons in other years and it's all so fucking beautiful. It's the only time you don't have to suppress your powerlevel because guess what? They know all the dumb memes you do and have a lot of overlap in interests and other things you enjoy. You can ask someone why they're green and actually learn something about Startrek because they fucking love star trek so much they painted themselves green! SO WHEN I ASK THEM THEY ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO GUSH ABOUT THE SHIT THEY LOVE! I FUCKING LOVE NERD CONVENTION SHIT HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This isn't unique to zoomers, if anything my mid-30s friends are even worse. They'll insist on leaving a fun party or whatever after 15 minutes to go smoke cigarettes/weed by themselves in a parking lot for an hour.

>>10964082
Everyone lives online now so they are never taught their words and actions have consequences, nor are they taught how to properly fight back. They think they can just do whatever they want and at most block someone or just delete their accounts and start over the next day. They don't ever have to take accountability for anything they do and worse yet is that when it does start to effect them in real life them, or the abusers can just say "Lol the internet isn't real nerd!" and everyone will just shrug and let it go.
