/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

why hasn't the cosbox people said anything yet? they were super quick to reply to questions the last time there was a thread about this.

>Commission armor in August 2014
>Due date is first week of Feb. 2015
>Maker stays silent til I message her in late January about it
>Says she shipped it out on Jan 23th and it entered the U.S. on the 29th
>Didn't send me a tracking number til now
>Package tracking information never updates
>She swears that it's in the U.S. just never been scanned
>Usps says that package was not shipped on her end til Jan 30th.
>Hasn't reached the country yet.

The gods are telling that I don't need to go to this con. Luckily, I've since made my own armor for the costume.

>tfw want to post a timeline but it would only have like five panels
Sucks not being financially secure and only able to afford an outfit a year. But I think I've come a long way.

I STILL haven't gotten any of my pictures back from Anime North and I'm starting to get super pissed. So let's have a cosplay photography thread. What pisses you guys off about photography, subjects, and the photographers?

>be scrolling through photoposts
>spot photoset of dresses reblogged by a lolita, think to self 'these indie brands sure are getting reeeeally 'little girl Sunday dress'-ish'
>wait a tic
>tfw you realize they ARE little girls' dresses

This is the state of lolita we're at; when one makes the assumption that something is ageplay-kei before actually thinking it's meant for children. How do you feel about this, anons?

I love men with long hair and reading this fucking kills me.
>I lost a bet.
>mfw
Who even honors retarded bets anymore?

If you want suggestions, you're going to have to give some suggestions to other people first.
>mfw summer

>have awful looking pollack hair
>wish I could wear wigs all the time
>get massive amounts of attention when I wear wigs
>see this post
>mfw

It's true, but then again that can also be said for girls who wear makeup, shapewear, and high heels. If you dig deep enough for a flaw you'll probably get one.

I feel bad for dirty looking plushies.

>tfw you want to place your Taobao order but Mother's Day and Dad's birthday are in two weeks

>tfw your con is a few weeks away
>tfw first time going to this con
>tfw all you have are a few lolita outfits and one recycled cosplay to wear all four days
>tfw you wish you could do something more elaborate
>tfw but you're just gonna be average, average, average

A week? Try 2 months. Con photographers are getting on my bad side quick.

had to close it as soon as the DRRR cosplayers started making out

>mfw i get back to the hotel room and there's grey paint all over my costume.

Seal your body paint Homestuck cosplayers.

It's so obvious she doesn't know what she's talking about...it's really embarrassing.
I seriously hope Moot didn't let her actions speak for the entire board.

I wish there were more pics, just basing off of this one picture could be the photographers fault for not getting a more flattering angle. I feel like photographers deserve more crap for taking shit photos at cons, considering it's the cosplayer that usually has to deal with the insults.

Or you know, maybe people genuinely don't feel like getting gussied up to go buy a few quick things at the mall.
Maybe they shouldn't comment on your business on what you wear, but this makes you sound kind of a stuck up bitch. On the same token nobody is a "slob" just because they wanted to wear comfortable clothes while shopping or running errands. Who are you to judge them any more than they are to judge you?

The worst?
>be new to con scene
>meet the voice actors from invader zim
>staff announces they're doing autographs at the end of the panel
>no mention of charges or price
>panel ends
>go to commission a picture in the artist's alley for $20 while line dies down
>go back to the panel super excited after waiting for and hour and a half
>BTW we're charging $50 per signature :)
>thatsprettyfuckedup.jpg
>don't have the $100 for both of them
>I'm almost in tears
>ask if there's any way they can make an exception/you were one of my favorite VAs, etc
>tightwads do nothing except give me awkward looks/try to ignore me
>guy I was dating at the time felt bad for me
>gives me money for one signature
>tfw I didn't even want it anymore

>tfw body type looks like Overweight but BMI of 20.7

Thick frames suck.

>airplane game

That rustles my jimmies, even when I know it's probably just a troll.

>That feel when you spend hours making wings for your cosplay and then your cat walks over and pisses all over them.
