Are you supposed to seal Rustoleum? I was told originally that EVA foam with plastidip + a rustoleaum primer+paint wouldn't need to be sealed, and by and large the colour has held up well, but over time a thin film does come off and is pretty noticeable on my fingertips etc. Should I be going over it with something else before I wear it the next time?
>>10911926Always seal your paint jobs. Doesn't matter if it's cosplay, miniatures, or outdoor furniture. Sealing is just a better choice.
>>10911926 A clear coat is always good, but spray paint can always crack on foam. So for armor that you will wear multiple times a colored plastidip or flexible paints like leather paint are best.
Can I wear a wig if I have long hair?

Lolita aprons: practical, decorative, or costumey?
>>10911941I generally love aprons and tabliers. I'm not too fond of the organza ones. But a lace tablier for gothic really suits it imo.It's rare that I think an apron is too costumey. I think it depends on the choice of materials. Also personal preference. I remember an organza apron design that had little decorations between the two layers, when the model walked those decorations would move freely between the two layers. It was cute but bordering on costumey imo.
May 17-19, 2024Are you going for the whole weekend?What are you cosplaying?Is your cosplay done or are you con crunching?Are you hosting a panel or working a booth?Going to the rave?Favorite part of the con?Any other activities you’re looking forward to?
>>10911910Lol there’s like 30k+ people at Acen vs. maybe a dozen loud discord drama mongers shitting up every Midwest thread on a dead board. You aren’t going to run into these people at the actual con unless you’re seeking them out
>>10911910K, enjoy your boring gay corpo event (which at least a couple of these goobers are attending anyway)
>>10911969MoistCr1TiKaL, you're at C2E2?
>>10911971Plz come to our Charlie meetup at ColossalCon, sir. Last year's was a great success, sir.
>>10911936What does this even mean?
Recently I got a crush on slav women, they're fucking goddessesName: ksana stankevich
Anime and manga artists obviously base their female characters off of slavic women's faces and now they provide us with the best takes on those characters. As Elton said, It's The Circle Of Cosplay. They also look the most elfin.
>>10911479
>>10911479Idk anon, every woman posted in this thread has a big Caucasian nose, protruding caveman brow ridge and deep-set sunken eyes. Pretty sure that anime and manga artists design their characters to specifically ERASE those features.I get that you're comforting yourself through the tactic of cope, but at least open your eyes and see whats literally in front of you on your screen, lmao.
>>10834168>>10834170This girl showed up on a Japanese show where they randomly interview foreigners walking by. On the show her face was really blurred like in her photos, but her real face looks insanely different, basically no correlation to her shopped photos.Its kind of cute seeing Japanese comments on her Youtube videos shocked at how different she looks. Basically politely calling her a gorilla in the most Japanese way possible. Hope she never translated those comments, lol.
>>10911912But anime characters aren't drawn with receding rounded chins, bulging eyes, or flat faces, anon. So they can't be based of azn girls.
Just wanted to share the cosplays I completed last year
why is this thread even still here. do you really have nothing better to do than bully/jerk off to some random girl that tried to post on hobby boards for once.
>>10831480you have hot legs
>>10906325shit i'm amazed it's up after more than an entire year. kind of sad how slow cgl has gotten hah

>>10911886God I hope so. I just googled him to check whether what they just said was even true and all but like two things that immediately came up were so obviously fetish content. I worry about that anon's ability to protect themselves if they aren't trolling.
>>10911814>"kinda cool"The very first image that appears upon googling him is this, complete with comments about sissy and infantilization kinks. I won't even disgrace my computer with downloading it nor your eyes by forcing you all to see it, but here's the link https://www.flickr.com/photos/30788655@N08/50113702977

>>10911970 Oof, right when their English customer support is closed too. Good luck
>>10911972I sent them an email in english. Guess I will try to get a refund on paypal if they ghost me. I guess this is the questions thread so my question is do I kill myself or try to sell this dress with my literal 0 karma lacemarket account. I dont even have a FB account. I'm fucked.
I lost my nail inspo folder on my old pc so I'm starting with a mini dump in hopes of other anons dumping as well :)
cute thread, I'll bump
>>10906818I've done it a few times but they're pretty sloppy. Look okay from far away though.
>>10911899You color matched that grey perfectly and I think the cross looks really nice

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
>>10911009Also. Fuck Captcha with a cactus coated in pepper spray

>>10911011Winning some Worbla at a Cosplay contest
>>10911012This is actually one on my favorites. Don't ask why. I got hundreds of photos. Very few are any good. But a few are interesting.
>>10866338It was a better time.Normies ruin everything.Can't stomach any local cons now, full of OF girls filling the walkways making tiktoks to promote their socials.Hate it.
>107 days until Fanime>No vaccines but still have mask mandate in placeDid you get the hotel you wanted?What are your cosplay plans?How are we feeling about this year?
>>10910925How do people who are this frail survive their existence? Its probably scared of breathing for fucks sake.
>>10910943the bulk of people are from gaming and cosplay departments, both of which i don't think AX has a specific need for. also they're going to find that the AX machine is retarded too, but maybe with less "sexual assault"
>>10910946i've heard it's way more retarded and filled with infighting, especially more so when AX has industry contacts
>>10910943Oh it absolutely had to be a fuck you to everyone that left.Also seems they had a pedo in charge at one point.DESU with the way they keep shell gaming shit they're probably still on staff too.
To that one ex staffer afraid of naming whoever harassed you on staff, just name drop them here. They can't prove it was you. Maybe it was a friend who you confided in that posted it. Whoops. Plausible deniability. See, just like right now, I'm talking shit anonymously.
Hadn't realized how long it's been since we last had one of these. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts!>Hi there !
