I was just cleaning out photos on my phone and realized bought the fabric to make Pearl over a year ago. I have the bottom half of the costume done, but I've lost a lot of motivation with how the fandom has been going.

I understand how you feel anon- I don't want people to look at me cosplaying SU at a con and think I'm some crazy tumblr person. But I still want to cosplay SU, so I'm going to! There are shitty people in the fandom, but I don't want some horrible fans to impact my love of cosplaying and SU

What's the best way to go about Rose's star cutout? I don't want to just paste a skin toned star on my dress, but I've seen some cutouts that have drooped and completely lost their shape. Would reverse applique be the best approach, or is there a way to do an actual cutout that doesn't involve fabric and still holds its shape? Sorry if this is a pretty stupid question, I've never had to do something like this before in my sewing.

[Anonymous No.8711536]

Im going to do garnet to a convention soon. Pretty happy with everything on my costume so far (minus a few setbacks)

...no one on here has called red paint on garnets black face. everyone always says that red/purple paint looks good. the only controversy was when a white cosplayer legitimately painted herself the color of a black person with no red in her paint.

Yea, im useing red facepaint with, setting with pink/purple blush and contouring with a brown. Hopefully i won't offend anyone but im sure it'll happen.

[Anonymous No.8711556]

>>8711547
what version of garnet are you doing? in her first form, you could do red, contour with dark red, and highlight with a lighter red and just do red blush. dont mix in brown if you think it might offend someone, unless you're that desperate for attention

[Anonymous No.8711563]

>>8711534

You could try doing a facing and sewing a wire in along the seam allowance to keep the star stiff.

[Anonymous No.8711570]

>>8711556
Im doing post jail break.
Cause i dont have dark red or light red. Just generic fire engine red. And I'm trying to make it look Not like fire engine red.

I just have white, contour brown, two shades of blush and two shades of pale skin tone.
And random eye shadow but im not counting those tiny pots.

[Anonymous No.8711573]

>>8711534
I think making a border with stiff interfacing and sewing it along the seam allowence should keep it in shape.

[Anonymous No.8711575]

>>8711534
Yes reverse appliqué would be the best way. One way of getting very crisp cutouts is to stitch a thin but stiff fabric like organza in the shape of the cutout, cut the shape out leaving 1/4" seam allowance, turn under and press, and then edge stitch (if you aren't sure what a edge stick is look it up it will keep it from rolling), and then reverse appliqué the flesh color fabric.

[Anonymous No.8711579]

>>8711570
post jailbreak, her skin is purple. there are so many places online to buy paint in many different colors, or you could mix your own. TAG's berry wine is a great color for garnet's post-jailbreak skin tone. you could use purple paint, contour with dark purple, and highlight with a lighter purple or pink. and there's nothing wrong with contouring with eyeshadows as long as they're matte. im cheap and i tend to buy those to contour with- they work great if you know how to use them

that's red. just take some medium red, and mix in a little light brown. you;re gonna need brown to make it look better but a light brown and very little.

>>8711616
getting pretty aggressive about paint, aren't you? i would suggest getting your eyes checked if you cant see that her regenerated form is way more purple/pink tinged than brown and red. brown paint would look like shit with her new color palette

[Anonymous No.8711624]

>>8711516
How is that anon weak? I've lost interest in things before from over exposure to shitty fans. It's a pretty normal reaction to start to resent something you once loved because it begins to take on the negative aspects of the fandom in your head no matter what you try.
She makes the costume, wears it to a con, those are the sorts of people who she will meet in that outfit. You can say all you want about the rest of the fandom being decent but the loud idiots always shout over the chill parts, and that is who you are going to notice first.
It's unrealistic to tell people to not lose interest in something when the fandom's less than savory exploits are plastered all over the internent.

im not suggesting straight grape purple. if you actually read my post through (which im guessing you didnt), i suggested TAG in berry wine, like in my picture. It's a warm deep purple with reddish undertones.

>>8711642
the good thing about TAG is that it's pretty cheap- you can get a container of it for 10 dollars on amazon and it lasts through 10 or more applications. though if youre desperate, i think mixing blue and red could be a nicer color than fire truck red

What? I don't like the show any less. I'm just not as excited to wear the costume because I took so long that Pearl has already been done half to death and I don't look forward to dealing with a lot of the fans in costume.

To be honest I haven't seen many good SU tutorials at all. There's been a handful of okay makeup ones but so many of the gem and wig tuts are terrible things like "make Sardonyx's wig out of fleece." Pic very related.

Why exactly? What I'm suggesting is a technique to not show a raw edge you still would appliqué a flesh colored fabric underneath. Not to mention you would need to stabilize a cutout at the waist anyways especially with the amount of tension there is.

[Anonymous No.8712134]

>>8712005
Actually, I really, really love TAG and I have other colors by them too, but yellow is not something I would recommend from them. It's quite hard to blend and is easy to make splotchy. Maybe it's just me, but their other colors are just so much easier to work with. I would recommend something like Kryolan for a yellow, since I've seen some pretty good results from them, although its twice the price of TAG.

>>8712344
So the other two who suggested wire and stiff interface are somehow is better to make it lay flat? Look up how welt pockets are done. The technique is done to enforce the cutout and not show a raw edge which reverse appliqué usually has. My degree is in apparel development so I'm not talking out of my ass I'm speaking from the years of experience I have and thanks to recent trends my experience with cutouts and appliqué techniques.

if i can be honest, your wig isn't going to work. it looks way too bubblegum pink, you need something lighter for rose, and i would make a better attempt at taming the curls.
but the dress looks fantastic so far!

haha yeah i didnt have great lighting when i took this! here's a comparison that I hope better shows the color in white lighting.

[Anonymous No.8712514]

ah, the wig does look a much better color in this pic.
well then, my only critique remains at taming the curls, and styling the bangs. otherwise you're good to go!

oh and if you don't already know, please use some sort of wire or interfacing when you do your gem cutout! a rose cosplay can be ruined by a shitty cutout.

[Anonymous No.8712566]

>>8712514
thank you! and definitely haha, the last picture was a few days ago before I worked on the bangs and stuff, they should look way better by the time i wear her for real! and i was the one who asked >>8711534 because i want a very clean, no droop cutout, but it seems there's some debate on which would be the best way, so im still deciding on how to do it!

>interfacing

That is how you do it.
Wire will look like crap.
Depending on what your dress is made of will tell you which interfacing to use.

Facing will keep the edges nice & neat looking.

[Anonymous No.8713014]

PSA:
Please stop suggesting wire for Rose's star cutout.
In order for it to be strong enough to hold the shape it will have to be around coat-hanger thickness which will looks lumpy and bad in all likelihood.
Personally, I think interfacing+reverse applique is the best choice, with a sheer, nude material inside to keep the gut from bulging out.
Whatever process used should be figured out before the dress bodice is constructed too since any quality Rose dress is doing to need boning built in which had a good chance of interfering with the star placement/bodice stability.

tl;dr use trial and error before constructing the whole dress instead of waiting til the garment is complete to figure out the star.

I was super split on whether or not to add eyelashes but i left them off mainly because I ran out of time to go purchase some but also because I kinda liked the uncanny of it without and we don't actually know if she does have eyelashes or not.

And its bad. It looks really bad. The execution is horrible. One of the worse looking cosplays in this thread. Don't bother defending it.

[Anonymous No.8722565]

i think the boa was meant to be the fur that centipeetle has around her neck- but yeah, it's a little weird to say that her personality is 'scared and aggressive'. she acted like a cornered animal with the gems, but was very sweet and playful around steven. seeing as some gems already wear skirts, its not out of the question that she might have worn a skirt in her uncorrupted form

[Anonymous No.8722577]

>>8722484
i'm gonna go ahead and say that if you're not thni, don't do that design. specifically because of the legs.
this is coming from a fat bitch so don't think i'm saying it to say "fatties can't cosplay!" but if you're even a little bit overweight your leg fat is gonna bulge out between the tight shorts and the tight leggings. its already gonna be a hard cosplay to pull off and people are already gonna make fun of it because it's not canon.
also the gloves covering one finger on each hand... isn't tht exactly what garnet has?

ill admit im not super thin (US size 8) but im going to be wearing tights for her skin and shapewear underneath to prevent any unfortunate bulges. and eh, i've got a thick skin and im used to criticism, and i can brush off super aggressive anons like the one going apeshit over the other centipeetle. i think its a cute design and even if its nothing close to canon, it'll still be fun to do.

tights and armsocks have been used and recommended for almost every character with brightly colored skin to avoid painting arms and legs though.. as long as the color matches, they're waaay better than painting. and what tights have you been using that bunch?

What kind of cheap tights bunch under tight fabric? If the tights are the right size they'll fit fine.

[Anonymous No.8722658]

>>8722645
well yeah, but it all depends on the clothing you're wearing over it.
i mean like if you're getting tights that are thick enough to really have the color pop out and look natural, they're gonna end up getting rubbed and moved around as you move around, and it'll bunch up a bit where the stockings lay over the tights.
i'm also just not a fan of armsocks or ights being used as a sub in for skin color. almost no one gets it to look good. i've seen tons of pictures of people using tights and armsocks, and i've only seen maybe 3 that didn't look exactly like you were wearing a bodysleeve.

[Anonymous No.8722672]

>>8722658
not trying to be rude, but i have no idea how tights would be rubbed to the point of moving around and bunching. i always wear dance tights for cosplays that show leg, and sometimes layer thigh highs on top of them, and ive never had any problems with it. ive also used armsocks multiple times before and as long as i color match correctly and put false nails on the end, they never are really obvious, and they're way better than going through the pain of painting your arms and potentially getting the paint on something

[Anonymous No.8722721]

>>8722658
Different anon here who has worn her fair share of dance tights and colored tights for both SU cosplays and homestuck. What you're describing just simply doesn't happen up on the thigh. Maybe it does if your tights are too big or cheap and stretched out, or I could see this maybe being a problem in the wrist/ankle area where the tights are loser, but thighs? Seriously, no, everything is stretched too tight to bunch up.

these are the best extra arms ive seen. you'll have to be specific with how you think a good rose wig would look- some people like natural curls and think really structured drill curls dont look right or vice versa. i have a few good examples of each kind, but it really depends on what you think would be good

those arms do look pretty good, i really wish someone would come up with a good way to make the elbow joint look real.
i was thinking earlier about, what if someone made like casts of their own arms, and then situated the fake hands on their hip or something.

and i'd love to see everythign you have with rose wigs, i really have no idea which one would look better until i see them.

It'd be best if you did a cutout, even if you put flesh fabric underneath (you'd have to do that if you're wearing a corset). Fabric that is pasted on top of the dress doesn't look as good.

woah, you mean someone discussed something about their lives that kind of pertains to literally every tiny detail about their lives? i'm assuming you don't know anyone in a wheelchair but being in a wheelchair changes your life completely. there is nothing you can do without having to consider your wheelchair. at all. your wheelchair is as much a part of you as your leg or your eyes.
someone talking about a thing they have to take into account literally every second of their life is not someone fishing for attention. it is someone talking about their life.
you are so fucking whiny about somethign so basic and simple. a person is in a wheelchair, they talk about their wheelchair, and you have a massive problem with that.
even if she never talked about it, just posted the pictures of it, you'd find reason to complain.
it's time to just admit you need somethign to bitch about.

C'mon Jasper, can't you see that I'm disabled :D

getting out of the wheelchair would mean giving up her ability to move under her own steam for at least a couple minutes. maybe even getting someone to prop her up if shes really disabled. either way it would require being dependent on an extra person. you cant blame someone for being adverse to the bother, esp since this isn't a maximumhigh effort cosplay.

If she was really disabled to the point of needing someone to prop her up she'd have a chair with a back. She also wouldn't be able to cross her legs.

... you know you can move your legs with your hands right? disabled people can just cross their legs by hand.
anyway, seriously we're arguing about some random stranger in a wheelchair. that's petty and truly pathetic even for people on /cgl/. get real. boo fucking hoo, she's cosplaying in her wheelchair. boo fucking hoo. she talked about her wheelchair on her personal blog. boo. fucking. hoo. sitting here crying about it because someone wasn't comfortable being picked up and propped up just for a photoshoot doesn't mean they're an evil attention grubbing monster. get over yourselves. this has got to be the most childish thing i've ever seen anyone complain about on /cgl/ and i've seen a 200 post thread about nothing but dollar store ribbon.

So? Tumblr popularity fishing has rubbed seagulls the wrong way since the dawn of time.

Holy shit calm down. People were complaining that tumblr babies were going to fawn over a lackluster costume, which is a pretty standard line of bitching here... why are you getting your panties in such a twist? Is it because you need to whiteknight the helpless disabled girl? ):

i'm sorry, we are apprently reading different threads. people are bitching because she didn't get out of her wheelchair for the shoot, and because she talked about her wheelchair in the post she did with the pictures. which is a really petty thing to bitch about.

Way to reduce disabled people to delicate flowers. Do you think she just sleeps and lives in her wheelchair 24/7? Plenty of wheelchair-bound cosplayers manage to take great photos because - wait for it - they pose appropriately or at the very least decorate their chairs. I don't see where anyone is calling her an "evil monster" (wtf?) but she doesn't get a free pass on nitpicking.

>tfw i'm literally disabled and know a lot of disabled people
people were suggesting she sit on a wall, or against a wall, or just in the grass. how exactly do they expect her to be able to get on a wall or on the ground without help? why do they expect her to sit on a dirty wall or on the dirty ground in her cosplay? why exactly are people so damn butthurt that she posed in her chair and talked about her chair?
again. boo fucking hoo. she posed in her chair. she talked about her chair.
/cgl/ is the most petty childish board on this website.

Idgaf if she poses in her chair as long as she knows it makes her a shitty Pearl. It's like fatties doing Pearl, it's not right for the character.

she did do some photos outside her chair- and in most of them, it's even cropped out. also, not trying to be argumentative, but the ground and grass doesnt look so dirty if youre shooting in a fairly clean location- even non-disabled cosplayers tend to use their environment to pose against

Someone sounds mad. How's that projecting going for you?
