IRONICALLY SWEALTERING

I think I'm the one who started this little talk, and I did say she looked amazing. I was just calling out the people calling it perfect in every way.

I think people like McPantserton deserve way more credit for their effort (and she definitely gets it).

It's fine to like all levels of effort but a smooshed up pair of tits shouldn't add as much cred as it seems to.

Aww well for starts, thanks, that really does mean a lot :shobon: For what it's worth too, I like the Immortan Jane costume, I kinda love weird-sexy costumes and I myself only do shitloads of cleavage if it's sexy/not-sexy all at once. Totally my jam. I seriously considered building my Arthas costume completely legit with a really absurd cleavage window in the middle, I thought it would be funny. But then I'd have to do gray makeup on my boobs and possibly be subjected to arguments like this so full breastplate for me, haha.

And also maybe it's good to keep in mind that not all cosplay is built to be a show piece. I only really post my main projects in this thread and I am pretty competitive with my cosplay so I focus on big resource/time-intensive poo poo like Warhammer/StarCraft etc. almost exclusively, but I also do thrown together stuff for late night fun wear all the time, nothing wrong with that either. Tons of people whip together outfits just to hang out and not try and compete, not every single outfit has to be hermuhgerd 100% handcrafted. I went as a herblederble Magikarp in a store-bought swimsuit and handmade fins and headgear at a convention in the Kalahari last year, sure as hell won't be winning any prizes for that but I did have a shitload of fun being a drunk Magikarp in a hot tub!

And speaking of Magikarp, here is a sincerely majestic cosplay that we should all talk very seriously about

There was, but he used Transform to turn into the adorable Gyarados in the back.

(I love everything about that picture and everyone in it - the Gyarados was randomly chosen)

Yeah, just to clarify on a prior post, I usually don't mind outside of the rare case where someone's sexy cosplay is disturbing (like the aforementioned Sexy Child Rape Victim cosplay). If it's a really lovely cosplay that's just "look at me; I'm mostly naked" with no other redeeming qualities, well - poo poo, there are enough booth babes throughout the history of cons that my only reaction these days is just "eh, cute person, bad costume" and move on.

I kind of wish people could get at least to the Talking About The Costume platform but no we have to spend a couple days derailed by cleavage.

I was at Eternal Con today and there was a wargirl, complete with one of those exploding spear things. Looked rad as gently caress.

Also I saw someone walking around with a Blue CRT monitor on their head and I have no idea what the gently caress it was from and I was afraid they couldn't see poo poo and were going to run into someone.

Did they look something like this?



Because I don't think I've ever seen Blue Canti cosplay before, and now I want to see pictures.

Apparently "monitor head cosplay" is a thing. Doesn't have to be any particular character-- just dump a monitor on your head. It's part of the "object head cosplay" thing, I guess.

Alright, can't even make fun of this. If he'd gone the whole nine yards and put on the pancake white makeup on all of his exposed skin I'd be giving this a 10/10

Edit: actually, it'd be a pretty neat idea to just have a couple bungie cords attached to him and the guitar just dragging behind him, like he'd just been cut down from the Doof Wagon.
