Cosplay and costume thread!

So here's my master post of all the cosplays I've done so far.

This is going to be a gigantic post and I'm sorry.

Spoiler Show

So Vriska was my first cosplay. No wig, no horns, wrong jacket, but I had a lot of fun and still got a lot of pictures.

^The beginning...

Then I got horns.

And put together a 15 person group [two peeps missing from photo] with my boyfriend at the time. It was a lot of fun, but a lot of drama. My advice: Be careful with large groups. If you want to see more of that photoshoot the password is "homestuck"

If you can forgive the absence of grey make up, it's a really nice photoshoot. We put a lot of effort into it.

Also made Kanaya's matryorb ball. And a tutorial for that, if you're interested.

Some of the group in make up and whatnot.

Spoiler Show

This was a Halloween costume, essentially. I had the clothes already outside of boots that I later gave away. The cosplay was scrapped before wearing it at any con because I wasn't feeling right about the results and didn't feel confident as the character. [she's too rad.]

This one is unfortunate. Though this cosplay came together, a chaotic con with drama and anger and a minor screw up [though lessons learned], this cosplay had a lot of problems.

I am not proud of how this was displayed. My make up the previous night was PAX paint, but it was the first time my friend ever messed with it, and she didn't match the make up to my previously mixed Ben Nye used for Vriska and our troll make up in the past. This can be seen in this photo of the previous night where I was Vriska. The make up was too dark and I'd rather have no make up than mix matched make up, so with some help I scrubbed the PAX off, rushed some blue make up onto my face and ran towards the meetup spot.

Not going into details I was really stressed out this con. Probably my worst experience during one that wasn't related to any of the actual CON.

This was also my first commissioned dress. Since I can't sew, I commissioned my cosplaying sempai, Vintage Aerith. Regardless of what happened, the dress turned out beautiful. I hope to revisit it some day with proper make up. I am proud of how the journal and horns turned out, though. And wigs! I have wigs now!

Spoiler Show

This is probably my favorite Homestuck cosplay, and I'm very proud of the results. Though another commission, I still worked with Vintage Aerith to get the right look. I like working with the people I commission for my cosplays. It allows for a much more custom experience and makes things feel more one-of-a-kind.

A friend of mine at Geek.Kon took really pretty pictures of me. This one is my favorite.

Then she took more for a contest I entered for the tights/wig.

I like this one a lot.
One more.

The tunic, hat, and dress were made by Vintage Aerith, everything else was me. This is probably my last Homestuck cosplay.

Spoiler Show

This one is my latest. I am so happy with this cosplay and I got such positive feedback from EVERYONE. I felt so confident and happy wearing this.

This dress was commissioned from angelskisscosplay, same girl who took my photos. She did a fantastic job, it's so gorgeous, a lot shinier in person. I ironed on the cutie mark [and then angrily rubber cemented it back on], styled the wig, made the pearl necklace, ears and horns are the Yaya Han ones.

I'm planning on wearing this again to my next con in May.

Future ambitions include Nonon Jakuzure [normal uniform] (Kill la Kill), Dagger [princess gown] (Final Fantasy IX) (or anyone from FFIX), Amaterasu (Okami) (or anyone from Okami...), like any Sailor Scout or parody of a Sailor Scout, etc.

I have the wigs for Amaterasu and Dagger already, and just recently got my wig for Nonon, too. They're beautiful.

My poorly constructed cosplay checklist. I still have a lot of things to add and think about.

[If anyone else makes a master post they'd like to share I'll link them on the OP, but I'm pre sure only Shanshan has more than one?]

I see I see, what do you need to change about it? Slight alterations?

So I'm just going to be shameless and post a link to my facebook page here :3

I learned so much from MegaCon this weekend and I can't wait for my next con! Poison Ivy on her "day off" went over well. I had a wardrobe malfunction the morning of the con which resulted in my pulling the leafy bottoms out the day of. Sure I was upset but it ended up working out in my favor since EVERYONE seemed to be Ivy during the con. Alexia Jean Grey remembered me from Animate! and she gave me a free print poster and we hung out and met up again at the Sailor Moon photo shoot. I also met Riddle and she was absolutely stunning in her Snow White. We literally chatted for 15 minutes and she taught me so much <3333 My Ivy was put on video for a cosplay music video and I managed a photoshoot in my signed N7 dress <3333

Overall, MegaCon was a success!

I'm glad you had fun! You looked amazing. [also i liked your page already uwu! i was thinking of doing this as soon as i start making my own clothes and stuff because i mean... why not???? plus i'd rather direct people i meet at cons towards a like page rather than my personal.]

I hope to meet more people this ACen in May. [ASDLFJ NOBUO UEMATSU AND ARNIE ARE GOING TO BE THERE FF CONCERT THIS IS NOT A DRILL] But yeah I'm going to be working on Sailor Mars soon, I'd like to finish this by Halloween, and wear that for Halloween. I wanted to do something I could wear to work for the holiday but I'm not sure *shrugshrugshrug*.

Regardless, Sailor Mars is probably going to be my first project that I will be sewing myself with the help of the wonderful person that sewed my Rarity dress. She will teach me the ways. If I manage to find patterns and design stuff for Amaterasu, I'll work on that as well, but Mars has priority because I NEED TO COSPLAY A SAILOR SCOUT.

Dude, it was insane. I truly did get claustrophobic at one point and I had to sit down with my head between my knees and I'm usually pretty good with crowds!!! Truly, the Heroes of Cosplay, TWD, and AMAZING guest list drew in huuuuuge crowds. But it was still fun and I managed to have a good time <3

I really wasn't exaggerating about parking though. 2 hours... Ugh.

Annoyance · Mar 31, 2014

I think we have 30k at Acen and there's even a Final Fantasy concert with Nobuo Uematsu making an appearance so I think MORE people are gonna show up...

The hotel's filled up within like a couple weeks of the blocks being open. It was nuts. I have 7 people in my room alone.

Passion · Apr 4, 2014

Sounds like you're going to have a party in that room haha. Who are you going as?

Hell yeah. I like to order Chicago style pizza when we go to this too so ye.
I'm going as Rarity again. I got such a good response from people at Milwaukee I have to try it at my biggest con. I think we're getting 30k this year. Scary!

Annoyance · Apr 9, 2014

So the girl who helped me with my makeup at Milwaukee switched to another room along with her boyfriend.

I'm not too sure what to do. I really need to find and perfect a make up tutorial for Rarity pronto.
Help would be appreciated to the highest degree. I literally just need help with the eyes.

This is my first non-cosplay for fun wig I've bought and I'm so glad I did. It's so diddlying soft oh my god can I just go to work in this thing.

I may take a better selfie later but yeah I was excited. It's the longer limited edition spring wig from Arda Wigs.

I may wear this to the rave that I MAY be going to at ACen. Not sure yet.

Weeaboo · Apr 18, 2014

Oh neat, I didn't even notice this thread existed.
Well, I've cosplayed once before.
I don't have any pictures because I'm dumb, but I cosplayed Vriska Serket with my boyfriend as John Egbert from Homestuck.

This year, during the anime convention in my town in June, I'm going to cosplay Rose Lalonde from the same thing. I can't wait *u*
