I totally wanted to do Jin in this color scheme but apparently only scrubs use these colors online.

Damn it.

Do it. Variety is the spice of life!

>>2608954
it's funny that fat chicks think they can pull this off- HILARIOUS

girl is curvy and skinny. a feat only possible for anime/games

Posting a photobucket album with the alternates:

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v220/Paranoia190/BlazBlue/

>>2608954
I think it's fine to be honest. It changes it up a bit whilst still being the same character.

I'm actually considering doing it with A.B.A from Guilty Gear...but I can't seem to find any different color schemes of her :<

Good luck though anon!!

>>2608968
Don't start that shit. Not cool.

>>2608989
Apparently it's very difficult to rip the sprites from the game A.B.A.'s in. I *know* I've seen the alternate colors around somewhere though...

>>2608968
Maybe it's the giant hands, but she looks rather short and stocky to me.

Alternate colors are fine.
I made the original, doing the purple one over summer break.
Be careful with those paws. Make them big, or else you'll be taking another trip to the fabric store.

>>2608986
This is awesome, thanks!

I'm pretty fond of this variation.

>>2609017
She's anything but short and stocky..
Her legs are supposed to be really strong and thick, so stick figures shouldn't attempt this.

>>2609013
Yeah, I haven't found any except for on the game...so I drew her out with the color scheme I wanted to go with.
It'd be nice to actually have a real picture of go off though, y'know?

Ah well...until then I'll just keep looking :'D

Anyone want all fo the BlazBlue ref sheets?
Not the art pages. Real, official references of the entire design.

>>2609054
...proceed.

>>2609058

Delivered :)

>>2609059

yessssssssss

>>2609059

You are my hero.

>>2609061
I know I have some for Kokonoe, Hazama, Makoto, and Tsubaki's around..
Tsubaki's school uniform.
I've yet to see the Continuum Shift references. I heard they'e adding a third character, but it's on the down low.
I seriously can't wait for the new game.. I just finished playing BB for 3 + hours.

>>2609047
This one is cute.

Someone should include the fishies in her paws.

>>2609063
Haha, thanks.
I spend too much time on this series.

Tip for Tao cosplayers:
Her shoes are fucking insane.
Sooo, I advise these.
http://www.cosworx.com/product.php?productid=25671&cat=2424&page=1
Just cover the platform in black, and chop off the pump at your own risk. I leave so it's easier to walk.

>>2609065
This is now a "Who would you want as a playable character" thread.

>>2609080
Pic obviously not related as we already have him.

>>2609080
He WILL be playable in the next game, as will Tsubaki. Jubei ftw though.

Sorry they're not completely organized and you'll have to dig for what you want, but this forum has almost all the sprites ripped.
I think the only one missing is Rachel. They have Hazama and Tsubaki already though.

http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8174

>>2608968
eh, she not really that curvy or super skinny. just relatively thin and in shape. and big boobs, but you can fake that as they're completely covered.

really the only physical requirements for tao are to not be fat and to have nice legs.

>>2609065
Ah! You have Kokonoe? ;O;

>>2609109
Yea, just a sec. It's hidden deep in my hard drive.
I have officials ones, and then some that aren't official, but really accurate and shoe her in different moods.

Here's Hazama while you wait lol
His is super easy. I'm finishing it this weekend.

Her new art just makes it so she looks like a regular girl(with big boobs). Easy enough to stuff since there isn't any cleavage. And even if you aren't dark enough, you could always wear darker tights.

>>2609118
Oohhh you're so wonderful anon~!
Thankyouthankyou <3

I just realized the next Con I go to will be the first one with since BlazBlue came out.
I my participation in this years conventions just became mandatory.

>>2609065
>>2609134

Almost got Kokonoe.
This is NOT Lambda-11, this is Noel as V-13, he character that's supposed to be on the down low, just so everyone knows.
I have no idea how they'll make it work, but it looks beast.

>>2609134
Alright, I think there's four.
I got two so far.

>>2609134

>>2609134

There you have it, that's all I have for Kokonoe I think.
You can find a lot of interesting and sometimes helpful fan art on the sites http://danbooru.donmai.us/

Beware of the content on the site.

I'll upload Makoto now.

No problem, brah.
My extensive hours of research pays off for more than myself.
Feels good, man.

>>2609196
I don't remember if there was a second sheet to go with it, but here's a clean, clear version of her to get the front details.

>>2609209
Thanks for posting these, mang. You rock.

Uh, anything else that I can help with?

Here's a great Noel tutorial.

Second row, second column.

>>2609225
FFFFFF-You're fucking awesome, and wonderful, and thankyoua;gfklajkelakl <3

fighting games like these is awesome for any black cosplayer out there. just saying.

>>2609209
Found Jubei and Valkenhayn.

Who wants spoilers? :D

>>2609241
Three to Valkenhayn.
I want to see him cosplayed. Don't think it's been done yet.

>>2609245

>>2609252

>>2609225
does anon have any more of tan ABA?

>>2609209
Knew I had the first sheet somewhere.

Tsubaki's school uniform, and Litchi's assistant, Linhua, will be next. Linhua has one, Tsubaki has two, excluding her official pic.

>>2609262
No idea if there's more of her, you see her almost never in the game. Cute though.

>>2609262

>>2609258
I have someone who's cosplayed her before, but no more sprites, unfortunately.

>>2609268

>>2609225
Any more GG colour sprites?

>>2609271
I like this though, thank you anon!

>>2609281
Yup, go here:
http://www.guiltygear.ru/download.php

And download the pack "Complete color chart pack, by Xenozip, 1.7Mb." under sprites at the very bottom.

This is one of the most helpful threads ever.
Thank you anon.

>>2609186
>>2609178
>>2609168
>>2609162

I LOVE YOU.

This thread is awesome, but, Idgi. Where do these alternate colour versions come from? You can unlock them in the game or something?

>>2609324

In BlazBlue, when you play, click start when hovering over the character, you get more colors.
After defeating score attack mode, you get the unlimited version, along WITH A SHIT LOAD OF AWESOME COLORS.
You can also get more colors after defeating the story mode of a character.
And some are downloadable.
I haven't seen any sprites of the 'unlimited' colored ones though.

I don't know too much about GG.

>>2609334
GG has a Color Editing option, where they have multiple color schemes already done.
You can choose one you like as a main scheme, and then for other things as well, I don't remember them though :<

>>2609334
>>2609346
Oh I see. Thanks.

>>2609346
Purple Tao was always my favorite, followed by the neutral one :3
Anyone know whether or not it's true that a certain color makes a character faster?
I always feel fast with purple Tao and pink Jin.

When are you doing Kokonoe? :D

>>2609350
I'm not 100% sure how BB works...but I don't think the color changes make them faster.
Call me silly, but it could be the way the colors work with your sight.

I'm actually not sure to be honest. It all depends on if I can get the supplies I need and whatnot. But it's most likely not until the fall. :<

I might do alternate color C. Viper in her alternate costume (lol), but I'm not sure, since I like the original color scheme a lot, and I've never actually seen anyone cosplay the alternate costume yet.

In short, I think it's great.

>>2609355
Aww, bummer.
We've been trying to find a Kokonoe to match up with our Hazama for MegaCon.

>>2609359
That is a definite bummer.
I don't think I would have been able to make it though unfortunately, the only thing I really have for her so far are the wrist bracelets and belt...shameful =__=;

Also, if anyone was interested in A.B.A, I happened to stumble upon a nurse outfit for her, it's fanart but it's cute.

>>2609375
Or you could just do Fanny instead of a stupid fanart nurse ABA.

But then again girls don't play guilty gear, thus they have no idea who that is.

>>2609078

Those shoes look even worse to walk in. I'm a lolita, so I'm used to walking around in Rocking Horse shoes. I was planning on making something like that.

>>Anyone know whether or not it's true that a certain color makes a character faster?
.....No. Why would they do such a thing? It would broken as fuck.

>>2609155
That's Mu-12, and she is not on any kind of 'down low'.

>>2609928
Hey, at least the grrrl gamers latch onto blazblue now, cause it's easier and animu and generally just more faggy!

I don't care as long as the leave my GG alone.

I think alternate colors are fine. In fact, I love it when people cosplay alternate color versions of a character.

>>2609928
10/10 would rage again.

>>2610030
It's official they are adding her as a playable character?

>>2610018
Yea, but for people who have no balance or have flat foot, a pump in the back is idea.
Tao is walking on the balls of her feet, and the back is curved, just like those heels.
I can't find rocking horse shoes similar to Tao's anyways.

>>2610144

Yeah, they're not totally like Tao's, but using them as a reference, I could make something similar. Probably have to fudge it a bit and make the back platform longer than my actual foot, but shit. The proportions are screwed up already, it won't make too much of a difference.

>>2609078
or drop some major cash for these

>>2610018
rocking horse shoes are easy as fuck to walk in what are you talking about. normal platforms are tougher for walking than in those.

>>2610176
>>2610172

How much to they cost?
Shit, I'd have no money for the con...

>>2610172
Almost like Tao's if it didn't have that stupid, funny-looking pointy bit ont he back of the platform.

>>2609928
OH U.

Too funny, too funny.

>>2610183
i've no idea tbh. I don't even know the proper name for them but I've been seeing them pop up on runways and such so -- more than any average person can afford haha

>>2610191
those are for balance, if anything.

>>2610204
I think...wasn't there a tutorial a fews or so go that showed how to make them? Or something like it?

>>2610018
>>2610176

Rocking Horse shoes are wayyyy to fucking expensive.
They don't even look right.

>>2610220
Tutorial....for those shoes?
Link pl0x.

>>2610229

I didn't say I was going to use RHS, just use them as a reference to make something similar but more accurate.

>>2610267

how does one 'make something similar' to RHS? Link to one that's similar? :/
I've been trying to wrap my head around these shoes for a while.

>>2610282
bump for this

>>2610282

Out of either foam or wood. Just cut it out to the shape you need.

>>2610348
And attach it to Rocking horse shoes? or what?

>>2610267
Why not just get clear stripper heels, and cover the front?

>>2610353

Because those actually hurt more or walk in.

>>2610366

No, just to regular flats or something.

>>2610372

Switch those replies around.

>>2610366
Exactly.
Less work, less money, more accurate, looks great. They aren't that uncomfortable.

>>2610372

I dunno..Shoes are pretty difficult to make. You'd have to make them pretty damn stable if you don't want them to break when you're walking..

I'll just keep looking.
Stripper heel doesn't sound too bad, but I have no idea what it's like.

1. Chop off heels
2. Fashion boot covers
3. Core strength train like crazy
4. ????
5. Profit?

If you go this route, using a platform that is a boot will be way easier on your feet. also I'm dead serious about the core strength training, will make getting around in those things a billion times better.
>>2610229
Still don't look right but less expensive, should be too hard to mod.

>>2610393
Definitely these ones.

Only problem is that it shouldn't be that high up, like..you'd have to cut off the top. Her leg warmers don't go that high I think.

Core Strength training?

>>2610410
Bump

>>2608989

>I'm actually considering doing it with A.B.A from Guilty Gear...but I can't seem to find any different color schemes of her :<

>..but I can't seem to find any different color schemes of her :<

Hold on just a goddamn second here...

Ignoring the hideous mask, she did the shoes right and explained them on devart when asked. Basically she chopped the heals off a platform shoe and what everyone is saying here.

>>2611364
I meant to use for reference.
If you had read any of my posts I couldn't find any others references other than the game itself, which I had to sketch out so I wouldn't have to keep going back to it.
Make sure to read everything before raging, faggot.

>>2611477
The only thing I like about this cosplay is the torso. Everything else sucks balls about it.
The material seems nice, well-suited since it's a coat, but a little too thick.

>>2609928
Fanny is a really offbeat character from a rare Wonderswan game that was only released in Japan. No one has really played that game, no less girls, so nice generalization there.

>>2610266
I found a site that has them, they're called pony boots:
http://www.punitiveshoes.com/database/ballets/ascotiron.shtml

As for finding the girl I originally saw who had the instructions on making them...I can't find it :(
Instead I have these: http://jovinamask.tripod.com/furry/Projects/pboot01.htm
- http://www.pets-de.org/lib/others/boots/hoofall.html

That's all I could really find though.
Sorry if it's not any help :/

>>2612207
Holy shit...the price on those babies..
I think I'm better off with the heels..

idk, towards summer, I'll attempt the pony shoes, but they seem almost exactly like the heels, just no heel..
I could saw it off and ta-da. Pony shoes. w/o the horse shoes hoof or w/e

>>2611477
Paws do not look good either, also adding darts to make it flair out more cancels out the simplistic design of the costume making it look too busy

>>2612189
I'm sorry, whut? This is one of the better Tao's I've seen.

>>2612232
Yeah, they're quite expensive.

Exactly, I couldn't really find any other examples to better show a pony heel without...the pony heel. But you get the idea, and in all honesty the DIY version doesn't really seem all that hard to do.

Best of luck to you with whatever decision you make :3

>>2612249
Look at that hood.
Ew.
It's too small, round and form-fitting. It's supposed to be loose and pointed. Ears look to tight. I imagined them to be more rounded like pockets for her cat ears underneath.
The zipper looks a little weird too me..and maybe the paws are kind small.
The torso looks great. It fits perfectly, and come off the hips.
She is one of the better ones, and could be the best if it wasn't for that hood..

>>2612247
>darts

They're princess seams and they seem appropriate.

>>2612247
It's SUPPOSED to flair out.

I agree, paws looks weird. Like..it's strained or something. it should be big, and pillow-like.

>>2611338
>>2610410
Hehe sorry totally forgot I posted in this thread. Well basically core strength training is workign the muscles that are underneath the abs. Strengthening those muscles would get you more defined abs [if that's what you were going for] but also it's what helps with the balance and stability of one's body. So working on that gives you more control over all in heels and shit like that.

Youtube has a bunch of great walk through videos on it but I'd recommend searching "core strength training women" or "core strength training light" or something like that if you'd be doing it just for balance light fitness and nothing hardcore like extreme muscle gain. Too many people take on crazy shoes cosplays just because they can figure out how to make them then don't realise "FFFUU I'm going to have to walk around in these D:" Being able to walk around a whole con/cosplay session is way more impressive than just being able to barely balance yourself in them for a few photos. Also it ups your posing arsenal. Good luck!

>>2612277
What if you're flat-footed? :/
That's my biggest problem.

>>2610229
for reference, RHS aren't that expensive, as long as you're not getting authentic VW ones.

They're about $30-120 not including shipping (cheapest being foam sole with pleather upper, and most expensive being rose chocolat's foam sole with leather upper)

>>2610172
(this is anon from >>2612287)

the boots are nina ricci http://takemeouttotherunway.blogspot.com/2009/09/fearless-heel-less-or-simply-trend-less.html

it's not that hard to google :/

>>2612266
The hood is pointed. You can't see it in this photo because the hood is falling off. Mask is way too big and really dumb looking, so it kept pushing the hood back.

The sleeves and paws are utter crap, I agree with that. I'm remaking them now that I have more time.

>>2612287
again, link. Can't find these suckers.

>>2612282
Actually so am I, ...partially, and I am even contemplating this costume too. Hmm, well then... All I can really recommend right now would be to get those gel inserts that are arched and wearing those in your shoes for a while and then wearing them when you're practicing? Practice with focusing your weight on the balls of your heels. Frankly I don't know all too much about flat feet even though I have them, I never had a super defined arch and then years of wearing the most terrible shoes ruined what little chance they had. But my case isn't too bad and only one foot really starts to hurt after vigorous walking or whatever. Oddly enough I CANNOT wear flats for the life of me. When I do after about ten minutes my feet are in excruciating pan and I have to stand/walk on the balls or sides. But I have no problem just going barefoot, I actually quite like it. Lol. Anyway, back to the point, sorry I couldnt be of more help.

>>2612299
I googled and saw those.
I mean a link to where I can purchase them.

>>2612305
Nah, it was helpful.
I was playing baseball, I ran, stepped down wrong, sprained on ankle, stepped down wrong on the other foot, and that hurt..
My flat-footed-ness is so annoying. That's what I get for wearing flats..
I've already down Tao, and for the shoes I had 5in platform boots. Just wore those. Nice and comfy.
but now, I want to be super-accurate and get these shoes down.

>>2612300
Speaking of masks..
anyone have idea on making it? It's so....round.
People always say paper mache, and sometimes it comes out great, and other times it sucks.
I wanted something really sturdy, like plastic so i don't have to worry about it breaking.

>>2612300
Be generous with the size and length of the paw. You could always take it in if it's too big.

>>2612308
http://www.ninaricci.com/fr/Contact.html
doesn't look like there's an online store. your best bet may be to go to the closest boutique/dept store that sells nina ricci and ask.

>>2612321

Seconding this! I'm trying sintra and a heat gun for my next go round but I'm really not sure how that will work out.

>>2612323
I'm planning on making them bigger this time and shaping them much better, but the length will be about the same.

>>2612325
...sintra?
what.

>>2612331
That was your costume posted, right?

You used fleece?

>>2611477
Oh my god! those legs!

>>2612340
what.

>>2612337
I figured cutting it and heating it around a round base would work? Am I way off here, a prop master I am not.

>>2612338
Yeah. I like the cuddly look.

>>2612340
I knooooow
must rub

>>2612350
It might work. I'm not a prop master either lol

I'm remaking Tao in a few weeks using fleece. Anything I should know about the material?

>>2612367
I found it a little easier to sew than most materials, but ripping seams on it is impossible. Also, if you're going to applique the paw pads and the tail hole, use felt on the fleece instead of fleece on the fleece.

>>2612369
For the design on the paws, i plan on using sheet foam and cutting them out cleanly. I hope hot glue works well?

I see there's a zipper on the inside of the sleeve...reason?

>>2612373
Ooh the sheet foam sounds like a good idea.

The zippers are so I can take my hands out heh. The costume got claustrophobic for me.

>>2609178
>>2612373
Because Kokonoe has them. Also how else would you do anything in that costume?

>>2612380
But Tao doesn't..Maybe use an invisible zipper?
I dunno. I was in a group, so people did stuff for me. Trying to drink Bawls was an interesting experience. Thank God it didn't spill lol

>>2612388
It is an invisible zipper, it's just inside out so I can unzip from the inside where my hands are. I know it's inaccurate, but eh, I need my hands sometimes.

>>2612394
How was walking in those shoes?

>>2612404
Not bad, really. Just like standing on the balls of your feet. I upped the number of calf raises I did the month before and I think that helped.

>>2612417
My calves are pretty god fro DDR..
Hm, guess it wouldn't hurt to do it in the next month.
Thanks, it was really helpful :]

>>2612434
Happy to help however I can ^_^

>>2612434
Your calves got bigger from DDR? Weird. Mine never did, but I've heard about this from lots of people.

>>2612569

Mine grew a lot. You know those arm westlers who have one arm that's disproportionately huge? My calves are like that. I hate wearing skirts because I have manly calves sticking out.

You don't need muscle on your legs to walk like that. I normally walk like that from a habit i started when i learned to walk and my calves are the scrawnyest things. Its not that hard. I do it without thinking and most people don't notice so you can easily practice anywhere without looking weird

>>2612584
Nyla?

>>2612632
You can't even spell Nayla's name right, and gtfo, Nayla's legs are skinny as fuck.

>>2612584
Weird. I never had the problem. Been playing for 8 years and my legs are still pretty skinny. . .except for my fat thighs.
