Very appealing. I feel bad that ladies have to smooth out their skin in photoshop to the point of looking like plastic. Like not for them personally they can do w/e and it's not that big a deal, but it's just weirdly messed up. There can't even be minor imperfections it all has to go right up to the line of the Uncanny Valley or gross people will be nasty about a human looking like a human.

I'm starting to think that some cosplayers actually do have plastic skin.    I wasn't even sure whether that was one of those creepy super expensive posable dolls or an actual person until I tracked down their FB page.

Note that there's a reason I was using gender neutral pronouns, their FB page says "Gender: Plural (mixed)". They may have photos like this on their page:  ... but that's still not conclusive evidence on their gender given their prosthetics/makeup skills.

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:It gets pretty eerie sometimes, and definitely makes me sad. Sometimes, I think it starts with "This photo looks pretty good, but I didn't even notice that pimple," and he or she fires up Photoshop. Then, it turns into "Well, while I have the program open, I might as well fix other blemish this while I'm at it, and now that I think about it my eyes could be a little brighter and my complexion would look better a shade or two lighter. Hmm, that hair isn't the color I'd like either, so let's change that, and gosh I had no idea my pores were so visible at 100x magnification..." By the end of it, you've got something that looks more like a still from a pre-rendered trailer for a video game than it does a real human being. Someone showed a process in how they made fake tits for anime cosplay purposes and now I basically assume that's what everyone's doing with any photoshopping.

People are born with blemishes, and that's O.K. You and I are on the same page in regards to the over use of Photoshop to "correct" perceived flaws. I'm not out to make anyone look bad. As such, I will correct temporary blemishes, pimples and the like. Past that though, it's either a little artistic license to fit the character, E.G., adding a scream effect for a Black Canary cosplayer, a motion blur for a bioshock infinite rail riding action shot. That sort of thing. I am not going to be softening your face, adding digital makeup, giving you a tummy tuck, blimping out your tits, or turning you into an anime character. You're a human, I want you to look like a human and be proud of the work you did to look like whomever, or whatever, it is you're cosplaying as. Now, if you want to pay me to do any of the effects, that's a separate

It's not some white knight "beauty standards devalue women" horseshit nor some "I can't jerk off to plastic-looking girls won't someone think of my erection" garbage, it's how this quirk of human psychology to over-correct the very flaws that make us appealing that ends up taking me out of the joy of Cosplay because now I'm not thinking about how good the costume is, I'm wondering how someone can use the smear tool that much and still think it's ok. It's the Ladies' Magazine problem compounded by the limitations and inexperience of relative amateurs.

Or maybe they feel like having smooth, flat shaded skin makes them look even more like the anime character they're pretending to be, which is, after all, the whole point.

I tend to look at super heavily edited photos as more a statement on photomanip than on costumes. On the topic of edits, what I did for these is mess with lighting/contrast/color saturation, enhanced some of the effects like dark eye sockets and helmet gem glow, and for some I added the runes back onto the sword because they photograph like rear end in the daylight. Also I removed a wig hair from overlaying my nostril in one of them. I wish our camera were a bit better, we tried to do some crazy exposure thing to get more snow in the photos but then they come out kinda blurry. I still want to do a more pro shoot.     VendaGoat posted:You made the Replica Prop Forum Facebook page with your Frostmourne build. Aaaargh I know, right? My facebook is seriously still blowing up. Super exciting! GOTTA STAY FAI posted:I'm usually the first person to complain about canted angles, but I'll gladly tilt my head if it means getting to see more of your amazing work Bah thanks  but in the fine spirit of this thread I don't think we actually took any angled ones of me this time!  I guess the sword and helmet one is kind of tipped.

What exactly are you trying to do with the snow? I may be able to help you out with basic settings that you can tweek when you go out next. And I agree on the photomanip part. It hardly ever enhances the costume and normally just overtakes everything else. Oh and on the runes. When you have that bright of a backdrop of snow, you'd be better off blacking the runes out before you go out and adding in the color and a mild glow effect in post. That light blue will always wash out with a bright white back drop.

A big part of the problem is that about half of these were taken on a phone so I think really we need to hit up our photog friends who have real gear more than anything. My husband is pretty decent with a nice camera but it's only recently that we've started to actually really need one so it just hasn't been a priority for spending up until now.

A shutter and iso control for snow swirl or snow stills is required, so, yes. And hey, it's only recently you became internet famous!
