The armor is being painted now, this is going to happen, it’s going to work. All the cloth is already done and when I’m done with this last step I can assemble. This helmet was actually the first project I even tried foam with (there are 30 failed helmets in a big corpse pile in my garage) so I’m thrilled it came out like this.

I'm driving in Wednesday and my cosplay's still not done and I'm stressed to death about it. I'm trying to do Char but
>3D printed helmet has been a nightmare to construct, the back fins are always threatening to detach from where they connect to the front segment
>Chinese site didn't come through for costume+wig so having to cope by dyeing a white shirt and pants
>the dye seems to have taken pretty well but the shirt and pants aren't really how they're supposed to be but the weird long tunic is impossible to find
>can't do the capelet period nor the neck filigree (collar isn't high enough anyway)
At least I've got the gloves and boots but at this point I'm not even sure whether to actually wear it because even if I do manage to get the helmet done in time I feel like it'll look extremely half-assed, but also I know I'll be missing out majorly if I skip cosplaying.

I found the full video on YouTube hoping to find the girl's name to get better pics of her tits. I only found that she introduced herself as Gretchen and said she was cosplaying Vanna White.

>Anyone get some video of the sloppafag being rude or police escorted?
No but if you look into her (oriana gerez) her socials have all gone private. he work was alright, a lot of the oil and watercolor stuff is fine. Screenshots of her socials make it look like she has a lot of actual work shes done and was supplementing it with AI for easy cash

Does anybody know who was passing out these wristbands / lanyards? Allegedly it was some Big Challenges cosplayer. Would love any pictures of what they were passing out and the cosplay if anybody has any! Thank you!

Saw you at the open casket party, I fucking knew you were a 4channer. Fun fact I saw the actual Chris at the infamous “panel” at the Gaylord a few years back.
