*insert ball grabbing joke here*
lookin good though Bea- imean Rose

I think Otakon has produced my favorite cosplay pics yet.

Props to Shad and Derp for pulling off Slick and Snowman wonderfully!

shad and derp were seriously amazing you have no idea. they helped me so much.

>>47522
Bea that angle is very not suggestive at all.

>beacupsaball.jpg

There were a lot of really good costumes at the con, though.

well he did call it his seed...

god
this guy is the best doc scratch

Anybody got any tips on constructing WV's hood?

Yeah I think this about sums it up

>>47660
Ooh, is that someone cosplaying Kanaya's red dress? Do you have any full-body pictures? I'd love to see how it turned out.

>>47663
see
>>47523

>>47665
Nicely done.

>>47660
Is there an origin/reasoning for Mexican Karkat or is it just some random thing that got attention somehow?

The amount of cosplayers and also number of Nepetas in here is just absurd.

i wish i lived in america now

>>47718
A joke that karkat ancestor was Mexican style revolutionary

Anon here from earlier in the thread. Here's the finished version of Mindfang's Journal that was couple of the pictures I posted before. This thing took forever.

>>47575
>>47576
The man behind the white cueball head is actually SamtheGuy, a tripfag from 4chan's /cgl/ board and a member of the MSPA forums. I actually met him during the meetup, and did a brief interview with him about him as a 4channer, his costume, and how and why Homestuck got popular in the first place. If you want I can upload the interview I recorded with my camera.

Here's a picture of the entire meetup in GLORIOUS WIDESCREEN.

That Nick Cage is the best costume there.

>>47793
That is pretty damn quality.

>>47840

We need to go

DEEPER

>>47859

DEEEPE-no wait thats too deep fuck

>>47839
that terezi makes me feel funny

>>47840
Goddammit Bea did you wear sexy underwear all throughout Otakon and only flash people that one time

This is completely unacceptable don't do it again

>>47793
San Japan is over, so here is a shot of me with the book. I flipped the image because the sprite-flipped look bothers me.

>>48298
the robo arm sleeve thing is a pretty elegant solution

>>48303
it was actually two silver gloves i bought at claires that went up to the elbow. We cut the hand off one and sewed it to the end of the other so it would go farther up the arm. The lines were drawn in sharpie by my friend while wearing it.

>>48319
That is a nice ass.
I don't even care that it's a guy.

>>48390
Dat lass.

>>48390
That's surprisingly good cosplay for Jade's costume.

I don't usually dig on fat cosplayers, but there's a distinct point where it starts being flat out insulting to the characters.

>>48719
good thing characters r fake n dont care if theyre insulted >B)

rose's hair

>>48719
No. They aren't bad because they're fat, they're bad because Gamzee's horns are shittily made and taped on and he is wearing completely unfitting clothing, while Kanaya's hair is wrong and her dress is wrinkled. Also, she needs a well-fitting bra. Kanaya's dress isn't actually bad though, it's just the bad bra/no bra (?) combined with some mediocre tailoring so the fabric bunches in unflattering ways.

>>48725
Goddammit Rose your hair is leaking all over the place.

Bro glasses are almost done. Just need to make them shiny. Ordered my Zentai, gloves, already have my sword and shoes. All that's left is a white polo shirt, black jeans, belt, and a gray hat.

That was fast.

>>48756
This costume was apparently planned out well in advance of the Dolorosa's actual appearance. Just a cool coincidence.

Just got my Bro hat! Just three more items and I'll be set.

>>48784
Can you see through those glasses? They don't look particularly transparent.

>>48786

No, I can't see through them. I'll mostly just be wearing them for photos and my Girlfriend who's cosplaying Lil' Cal will be my lovely guide.

caw caw motherfuckers

This Vriska would be perfect if not for the horns.

i like selfposting

a lot

Another progress picture.

My cosplay is basically done. I actually resized the glasses today so they'll be smaller than what they are in this picture. I'll most likely have my wig on Friday because it's going to be styled on Thursday night.

And here are my glasses resized.

>>50084
>>50083
>>49022

Nice on! That's a pretty darn good Bro costume so far. I can't wait to see how it looks when it's totally complete.

ivan where did you get your zentai and do you like it

>>50103

Thanks!

>>50104

I got mine from a site called Zentai-Zentai and had mine costume fitted but when I got it I had almost an extra foot of legging length and some slack in the arms (I thought me and my friend took exact measurements) so I took my zentai to my grandmothers textile shop to got it fitted and now it fits like a glove!

>>50105

this is a random question but does it leave a residue? like lint all over you? shad and derp ended up with lint permastuck to them after they bought their shitty zentais from milanoo

>>50106

Nope, no residue. Though I got Cotton Lycra.

got a friend to make me gamzee horns, just arrived today~ one of the horns broke off during the trip, that's why i'm holding on to it like an asshole. I need to figure out how to fix it. :I

>>48927
i mean this in the nicest way possible
out of respect for the people in the photo

who the fuck shooped this they did such a crap job
i will smash them

>>50168
Which part of shoopin' are you talking about?
There's an intended red/blue gradient to represent the red + blue teams

>>50186
that's not even addressing all the liquidation
or the appallingly dark shot

or aradia's bizarrely airbrushed face

before you try and tell me this isn't shopped, everybody look at Terezi's arm in front of Gamzee. Look at it.

you guys photoshopping con pics is fucking serious business okay

>>50240
actually im in the picture so I'm aware of how much photoshopping there is and isnt. Our arms weren't in grey make up so there wouldn't be smearing + easier to clean up because a few of us had work directly after the shoot. The main reason for the photoshopping is becuase we found out after the shoot that our main camera ended up really shaky, so we had to go with shots from a lower quality camera

There is some photoshopping, but it's mostly filtering and adding grey to our arms, theres next to no airbrushing, and none on aradia (only the removal of some powerlines and equius's wig going crazy in the wind). Picture is of terezi's arm in the original photo.

why have you not posted best john yet?

>>50612
I saw this got pretty super popular on the tumblrs. Can someone explain to me why? It's a decent John, but it's only that. A decent John.

>>50621
Hmm. I'd hazard a guess that it's because the cosplayer struck a nice balance between doofy and attractive, which would appeal to the people who want him to be their husbando but still like his dorkitude.

>>50622
I don't think you understand. By "super popular" I mean he got close to 10,000 likes on tumblr. It's like one day tumblr decided it's never seen a cosplayer before.

>>50621
attractive male who likes nerdy things and looks sexually non-threatening? watch the fem-internet cream its collective white cotton panties.

>>50627
But tumblr is nothing but lesbians.

>>50630
Who write porn about gay dudes, so, you know, who the fuck knows.

>>50621
He was actually just a really nice guy to hang out with, and organized the (rather large) photoshoot the picture was taken at.

My assumption is that people who had met him reblogged him, and then someone popular happened to reblog that, and someone else popular reblogged that, and it just snowballed from there.

John: Casually Cop a Feel

>>51783
That was pretty pointless.

I hate teenagers.

>>51784
heh, what's an old fart like you doing on an imageboard?
I'm sure you have some important old grumpy person stuff to be doing, like shouting at kid's for being on your lawn, or telling people around you how much better life was back in ye olden days.

So, was anyone else at NYCC?

animated

I just got back derping around with my friends, and I'm really happy with the photos. I hope you like them as much as I do. I'm Jade, SO is Karkat.

And lastly, my favorite. Sorry about the self-posts, I'm just really happy about these.

i have a significantly less shiny rose wig and plan to refit the sleeves so they fit better, resew the sash and remake the wands to be much less shitty

and i got my handmaiden horns done today. any ideas on how to pull off a handmaiden wig? extensions and fake buns im sure. but what to use as the actual wig

>>53002
dye ur hair blak

>>53003

nah, real hair is too hard to style and my hair isn't long enough :(

>>53002
Are we doing actual Ancestor Handmaid or "Young" Handmaid? Either way, I'd start with a fairly short wig as a base (probably shoulder length so you have a little room for error). Use extensions/wefts for her side hair things.

For the bun, you could either just get a regular long wig and tie it up into a bun (in this case, I'd probably go with a standard straight long wig as opposed to something wavy because wavy wigs will tangle like a motherfucker and since it's being tied up, the look doesn't matter much anyway).

>>53002
I'd get a normal shortish black wig and style it. Then add fake buns and extensions to seal the deal and whatnot.

>>53009
>>53010

okay thanks! i was going to do it this way but i wanted to make sure i wasnt completely offbase
being 4'10" i can only be babby handmaiden ;~;

Son, I hope you weren't planning on leaving me out. [/act]

hahah wow guys

It is a pretty good Gamzee I guess

>>53760
Okay talking about something other than the obvious is that woman rather tall, or did she stand beside that shorter cosplayer to enhance her apparent tallness? Because it works for the Grand Highboob who I think is meant to be a pretty tall chick.

>>53825
She's 5'8" but she was wearing 5" heels for the con so I guess she was around 6 feet?
The other girl wasn't particularly short but she towers in this costume.
The vriska in the back should be a good indication how how tall she was in relation to everyone else.

>>53760
it's been said but i'll say it again

DAAAAAYYYUUUUMMM

>>54681
confirmed for creepiest shit ever

>>55338
I actually met this girl outside of UppCon due to mutual friends. She was cosplaying as Rose at the time, but when my friend explained was I just fangasmed all over her. :/ She was super nice though, easily THE best Kanaya cosplayer out there.

>>55348
explain who she was*, that is.

>>55423
Fuckin' terrifying.

Sorry about this retard. He found homestuck in John's history list and, surprisingly, decided that it wasn't 'DUMBGAYSHIT'. He got banned from the forums about 27 minutes after he signed up.

Sorry he had to start crapping all over this place.

gosh

>>55927
Poor Kan. She looks braindead. What did that horrible grimdark human do to her?

>>55990
Tentacles.

Tentacles everywhere.

>>55990
No, it's more like Kanaya's thinking to herself about how she wants to just go home and look at pictures of butts on tumblr already, and Rose is like, "this is stupid as shit. Why are we laying on the ground like we've been hit by a car. Why does she look so bored. Why aren't I at home on tumblr looking at butts. That's what I really want to do."

good costumes tho, especially kanaya

There are a lot of nifty Kanaya cosplayers it seems

>>56169
Too bad the horns came from a 'shop

Would people pay if I made and sold troll horns? I don't cosplay, but I'm good with making stuff.

>>56211
Pretty sure that's not allowed, brohemian.

>>56211
I think you have to email Hussie about it. I think the general rule is that if you actually email and ask him, you can do handmade items on a commission basis, but if you start mass-producing that shit, it's a no (kinda like how art commissions are okay, but prints are not).

>>56572
She looks like she has one hell of a freakishly long finger in the thumbnail, though when you expand it looks fine.
>>56573

>>57440
N...Nikki Minaj?? Is that you?

>>57513
I'm assuming they are shopped or something

waaaiiit for it.....

>>57528
Nah, they're just circle lenses.

>>57528
>>57567
Yup, you can still see the brown underneath them, so definitely contact lenses.

>>57440
>>57570
Yeah, Having met several people who wear colored contact lenses, the borders of the green color give it away. They never can make them exactly the size of your iris, and the pupil has to be bigger than yours are most of the time so you can actually still see. (Nice cosplay and photography, btw)


>>57091
This, on the other hand, has me wondering. Is it just me, or are those irises waaay too big proportional to the eyeball? And while I've never seen that particular color pattern for colored contacts, it still seems artificial in some way, mainly the black black around the edges of the iris. Thoughts?

>>57577
They're just very large circle lenses, a lot of them have black around the edges to make your irises look better and more anime-like.

Holy shit!

>>58289
the valley of uncanniness is not deep enough to describe how terrifying this is.

>>58360

>>53964
>>53966
I remember some of you expressing an undignified lust for this lady

>>59781
Oh my~...

>>59781
All I can think of is her applying the makeup to most of her body.

>>59781
I believe the appropriate response is HNNNNNNGGGGG

>>59921
I like this Rose. She looks so natural that if not for the bright orange dress-sari-pyjamas you wouldn't know she was cosplaying. Whether that means she's good or that she didn't put any time into it at all, I have no idea.

Oh look some Alpha Kids.

A slightly more complete shot. From the description:

>Jade isn't in the shot, we had to let her out to pee. She was scratching at the door and whatnot.

I also seem to have a weakness for playing with camera exposure times.

>>59985

So there was somebody cosplaying as Jade at the dining center on campus here for some reason. Interesting surprise, but what the hell?

Wish I snagged a pic.

lol sup guys i have definitely accidentally been drinking my prop rum because i am all class

Does anyone have those pics of Skepticarcher's/Skepsisfox's Terezi costume? She remains the best Terezi cosplayer I've ever seen.

>>59781
holy shit

is there more...

So my friend wants me to go with her to a con and I said yes. She, of course, digs Homestuck and plans to cosplay. I figure I could surprise her and show up with a costume of my own.

I figure I could make a decent John or Jake, since their outfits seem simple enough, but I'm not sure since I only have very rudimentary knowledge of Homestuck. I know each character has a few costumes so does anyone have any suggestions?

If height and weight matter any, I'm 5'6'', 130.

>>61323
I think you'll make a pretty decent John or Jake.

Just check out the Wiki for more information/costume ideas

>>61323
Or Sollux if you want to go more elaborate.

>>61323
http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/John_Egbert
Here's a compilation of the outfits John's had.

>>61323
Yes, take a look at the wiki. For a start I'd recommend the Vriska outfit - I don't know how familiar you are with cosplay in terms of finding/making the right materials, but if you have some experience with it, it might be worth it for you to go the extra mile and spring for the more recognizable Wise Guy Slime Suit. (Sage for not really contributing new info.)

It's really nice of you to do that for her, by the way!

Happy Valentines!

wow, really

hey uhhh i'm going to otakon and have never been to any anime convention before anywhere

what am i getting myself into?

>>62193
Seems like there are better places you could ask for advice. But uh . . . Lot of silly activities. Lot of crazy-ass costumes, obviously. Lot of overpriced food. Maybe get a schedule and see what events they're running. They usually have cosplay gatherings for particular fandoms scheduled for a one- or two-hour block, so you could catch the MSPA one. Bring a camera if available.

>>62170
>>62180
in other news I like this expression and am going to start using it

i'm considering cosplaying feferi to otakon this summer, and I wanted to know if I would need to put makeup in my armpits, or if that would be a bad idea? I feel like it would melt off from me sweating (anyone who's been to otakon knows how hot it gets there)...does anyone have any advice for me/an alternative to this??

>>62194
by all means
it won't be the first time someone in the homestuck fandom recklessly pursued looking like a enormous tool
and i'm sure there are many others like you who think the same.

strength in numbers, right?

>>62206
whoa what
if you're talking about the advice to mill around and take pictures of people, please correct it cuz I actually would not like to lead this anon wrong or into an embarrassment or anything!

(but if you're talking about about my completely non-MSPA-related appreciation of a sillygoof phrase then that's OK)

>>62199
pax paint doesnt sweat off, i hear, look into that

>>62210

thank you! that seems like a really good option, and it's not as expensive as I was worried it would be.

>>62210
How much would you need for a guy on the bigger side?

Also, would a Rule 63 Fat Feferi cosplay be too creepy to be funny?

>>62231
are you actually going to try to put effort into your costume because you like the character or are you going to try to ride entirely on the novelty of a large hairy man wearing a shoddy neon skirt

it's important

>>62233
Both?

I wouldn't be trying to creep anyone out. I'm a large, happy guy who is a Pisces. I'd be embracing the fact that I'm large and give great hugs. I'd be pretty in character for Feferi (though I wouldn't be role playing or anything) just being myself.

I look away for two seconds and now everyone that identified as a girl and cosplayed South Park had become a genderqueer Homestuck.

What.
