I hope nobody minds my shameless self-posting too much but I keep getting photos in from my Valkyria group shoots and I'm so excited with how they look. I am so fortunate to know good photographers. Guy who took this one goes by Vontography on facebook. e. I'm the HBIC in the middle with the blue hat, I suppose that's not immediately obvious in retrospect, haha.

HardDisk posted:Yeah, this owns pretty hard. Please keep posting. Thanks, guys.  That's all the encouragement I need, mostly I feel bad because I only do 2ish cosplays a year so I only have so many cosplays to post photos of. But I'm moving into my main project for 2014 (Warhammer 40k!) so here's a photo of my Terran marine's last ride. I'm on the far left there, photo by CosIT photography. I'll miss wearing it but transporting the marines, not so much. And here is photographic evidence that my friends and I are all mature adults.

burnsep posted:Oddly specific question- a friend (female, mid 20's, petite but very fit) lost her right arm below the elbow a couple of years back, and she's been thinking up cosplay/general costume ideas that play off the arm. She likes the idea of dressing up as Nemo (from Finding Nemo) or Luke Skywalker (although that seems pretty tough to pull off) but I thought I'd check this thread for more thoughts on this. What would you do? If she likes Magic the Gathering, Tezzeret has a crazy filigree arm that would only work for somebody without an actual arm there. There's also an awesomely campy Japanese movie called Machine Girl where she gets her arm cut off and uses a gun arm instead. Captain Scarlett from Borderlands or even Captain Hook would be pretty awesome. Or Jaime Lannister. So many options! McKilligan posted:So I guess it's OK to do our own stuff - Finally had someone take a few pics, so now I've got something other than selfies. It's 95% done, so a few unfinished details, but goddamn was it satisfying to look at these. This turned out awesome, you did a killer job, man!

Tracula posted:Goddamn that's amazing. Maybe I'm not remembering NGE correctly but the feet look a bit too big/thick. It does look absolutely hell to wear though. It looks to me like they added a few inches in the feet for the costume's overall height. Looking at where their actual foot sits, I'd be so nervous about walking in that thing, that is a huge amount of lift. One of my friends just finished a human version of the pokemon Moltres and I just love how it turned out:  Cosplayer is Malindachan, photo by CosIT photography

And before you start firing bolter rounds in my direction, can I at least finish the dakka cannons first?!? Oh jeez, thanks I suppose I'll allow it, it's definitely Imperial style to fight fair, right...?Hopefully this isn't weird but do you ever go to conventions or anything in the midwest area? We could do the best photoshoot of all time. My group this year should be me as a canoness, my husband as a tech priest, and my 2 besties as a Sister Hospitaller and heavy armor Inquisitor. 40k is my absolute favorite thing to cosplay from, I'm so excited!

Like I said, I enjoyed it enough, but really the fanfare over it was inexplicable to me.

Some friends of mine did costumes from Phantom of the Opera and did a photoshoot this last weekend, fun stuff.

My main cosplay etiquette thing is to try and use common sense where you ask a cosplayer for a photo. I always try not to stop in the middle of hallways and other busy areas so I don't congest traffic and some people get really rude if I tell them I need to move to the side first. It's really annoying! I'm just trying to make sure that people can keep on walking. I totally love doing photos though, I'm a huge ham (in cosplay at least) so it always makes me happy that people like my stuff that much. Speaking of, my new Warhammer stuff is like 80% done! I have 2.5 weeks until Gencon and then I'll have some new 40k photos for everybody, yay. It's turning out really well, if I do say so myself!

So Gearbox hosted a cosplay contest for the Borderlands Pre-sequel with super good prizes (trip to PAX for the best cosplayer for each character, drat) and I was bummed because I wanted to do an Athena cosplay anyway but I didn't have time for their deadline with my 40k build... but they just announced the winners and a really good friend of mine at Pippi and Ix Cosplay won as that character! So now I'm geeking out a little (a lot), here are photos of her and some props.

joat mon posted:Very nicely done, as usual. There appears to be an electrical wire or actuator of some sort in claw-in-back guy's left hand. What does it do? His robo arm is articulated, he can pull the cord and the joints move. I thought it was even cooler that the arm moves when he walks since the joints are strung with bungee cords. Thanks for the compliments, everyone. I'm hoping to get some nicer photos within the next few weeks, hopefully nobody minds too much if I post some once they're done!

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:If you don't mind sharing trade secrets, how are you handling the weird curtain assembly she wears on her back? So what I'm doing for mine is making the struts out of hollow aluminum rod for the straight parts, then I'm doing the top finials out of a thermoplastic called Worbla. It's very light, pretty durable, and when you heat it you can mold it like clay so I'm basically making plastic 'snakes' out of my huge bag of scrap pieces and shaping them. I did a vector design of the whole thing and printed it off to scale to help all the sculpting so I just do the plastic right on a piece of paper. The connecting circular thingers between the 7 straight struts will probably also be worbla. I'll coat the worbla parts in wood glue so the texture difference to the aluminum is less obvious. Then the whole thing will all mount into a half-circle wood plate that will mount to my back with backpack straps and an underbust strap, this part will also have a piece that extends down my spine to stabilize the whole rig. I've only built one so far and I want to do just a bit more refining of the shape and blending between the aluminum and the worbla but here it is so far!  e. I just laughed out loud about my 'trade secrets,' it's more the case that I won't shut up about my build plans

VendaGoat posted:Alright then, have at them. If it's that important. I don't have a dog in this fight. No, man, I generally aim to give people the benefit of the doubt, I thought Dr. What's post about cosplaying as psychos and whatnot was very well-put. I myself have cosplayed as a Chaos barbarian amongst other morally ambiguous and I certainly don't condone chopping people in half to harvest their skulls and/or blood. I just also didn't think it was an out-of-line question, really, and I thought that the notion of ignoring politics in cosplay was kind of funny when my social media channels are blowing up hardcore over blackface right now. Anyway, I'm not trying to start anything either, here's a photo of my friend from CosAwesome Studios looking cool as Cable, which I had previously thought was in defiance of the laws of reality.

Since my Chaos outfit I have also done a new Sister of Battle suit, my first version was back in 2011 before I knew how to make things light and relatively comfortable  but I love the look so much I rebuilt it this year and it is probably my favorite of all my costumes. My group is normally 4 people but we had only previously been able to do a photoshoot with myself and my husband so today we finally got all 4 of us together for some shots. I'll post some pictures once I get them back from our photographer but in the meantime here's me from our last photoshoot!

Trast posted:How tall are you and your friends in those marine suits? I'm about 5'8" normally and the suits add about 3.5-4.5" in the feet (depending on what shoes you're wearing in them) and something like 3-6" in the hood depending on how tight the inner straps are, so bumps me up about 9" on average? So 6'5" or so, and my dude friend would be more like 6'8" ish since he's a little taller than me.

Trast posted:drat, that is a lot to lug around. And being I am 6'4'' a suit like that might add a full foot to me if the scale kept. That would be a pretty cool sight to see stomping around. Fortunately they are very, very light! The heaviest parts are the wood platforms for the feet and the PVC frame where the backpack straps mount. I'd be surprised if a full suit weighed more than 20 lbs. I think we'd have to do some tweaks in assembly for somebody as tall as you with this setup but it would definitely be doable and absurdly impressive to behold once it was done!

If you aren't into sanding you can coat EVA foam in glue too, I've done just PVA glue (Elmer's) or I've heard good things about a glue called FlexBond which are both more self-leveling than resin. Or a lot of people also use the aerosol cans of Plastidip, it's meant to rubberize grips and it does a good job protecting the surface.
