did he not get that the bandages there were because the design was a female? That just looks retarded.

Why is that idiot chest binding? Or is he actually a very hairy chick?

It's gauze for a manly chest injury he got from beating people with his cubone club while having sex and shooting off flares.

love this one

I missed the thread the first time I tried to post this.

Weezing is supposed to look fucking DISTRAUT, not ^w^

>>2980849
Hey, pokemon can feel whatever they wanna feel, mayn. They're creatures too.

>>2980804
>>2980828

Maybe he knew it was gonna be cold and took proper precautions.

Either way, he's hot. I'd club his bone.

Jigglypuff. :3

>>2980871
is that... girafarig or whatever?

Does anyone have pics of that Carnivine that was in the Otacool2 book?

>>2980870

That, or he wanted to get a photo of the actual full costume he wore to cons, where a lot of them have rules against shirtless guys.

"Sorry, Portgas. That's a nice tattoo that someone spent forever on, but put on a shirt."

I've seen it happen.

Uh, Marowak's a dude. Note the complete lack of womanly figure in the design. The binds are there (in the design) to mimic the stripes across Marowak's chest. lrn2reference

>>2980903
darkrai is too damn easy.

this is fucking adorable >w<

>>2980902

>Marowak's a dude

You do realize that not EVERYONE uses and knows these designs, right?

>>2980920
You do realize I was quoting the person who explicitly said that the Marowak was female in the design right?
And he did use that design. I can assure you of that.

>>2980894

Her?

>>2980890
What kind of pokemon are you?

>>2980946
Woo... Unflatering 2-year old pictures...

>>2980982
is this a... shiny banette?
derp

>>2980966
I'm guessing vulpix.

I find this super cute.

>>2980921

why the fuck would you put a seam/dart like there smack in the middle of the front!? UGH!

>>2981016


Son that looks like the whole thing is made outta felt. WHY?

>>2981028
dat wig, SO PERFECT

>>2981069
no it doesn't. felt doesn't take light like that.

>>2981194

Then it's fleece. it still appears to have a felt like texture, especially the flowers.

>>2980986

i've wanted to do shiny roselia for a while now but feel like no one would recognize it. should i anyway?

bump for more!

>>2980804

Some cons don't allow mans to show the nippies, maybe he was at a conservative convention...

>>2982268
He was just following the design.

sooo pretty

>>2982325

She is adorable!

>>2981016

HELL
YEAH

Gijinka threads = thinly veiled excuses for self-posts

>>2982405
Jealous, fatty? Why don't you go cosplay Snorlax, then you can play too.

>>2982424
u mad?

>>2982424

Considering I posted 50% of these and I'm not in a single one...

go cry with your cheesecake somewhere else

>>2982435

opps was aimed at >>2982405

but i missed.. mybad

>>2982405

This is a cosplay forum. Costume play. People who are interested in costumes post here. You think it's wrong/weird for them to post pictures of themselves wearing costumes on a costume play board? Really?

;_;

I don't know any Pokemon beyond the original 150.

I miss the days when pokemon cosplayers actually cosplayed as pokemon.

Everyone today wants to do this stupid gijinka bullshit because theyre too lazy/unskilled to make the real character and they want to be LIEK OMG SEXY DURR.

If you want to put on an ear band and slutty accessories for attention then go ahead, but don't call it a pokemon costume because it isn't.

>>2982585

K but most of these aren't slutty at all, and are actually based off a series of artwork. They are cosplaying the design because it appealed to them more then looking like a furfag in a mascot suit.

cry more

>>2982593
Most of them aren't cosplaying a "design", they're making up their own bullshit because they want to be an attention whore.

It's just like the naruto sexy no jutsu shit. It's something people do because its easier and they can whore themselves out. Has nothing to do at all with the supposed characters in question.

i think someone should make gijinkas out of these.

>>2982604
>>2982585
I kinda have to agree. Gijinka costumes just seem lazy. But then again, I could be bitter because I'm somebody who does mecha cosplay, and when I see somebody wearing a bikini and two pieces of armor and call themselves a Gundam, I rage a little.

>>2982323
HOT

>>2982666
do u raeg at this thing ?

>>2982703


fucking win

>>2982763
im a huge gundam fan myself but why would there be a eye slot on the shield when the gundam has cameras all over it?

>>2982787
fool, it's where the mailman inserts the parcels.

>>2982604

I just don't get how making a costume based off of artwork (actually yes most of these are based off of artwork) and wearing it is being a whore. That is all cosplay... most of the people in this thread are fully clothed... not whorish at all.

Also I don't see how gijinka is lazy... unless you consider any school fuku or sewn costume that doesn't include armor lazy as well.

One of the most appealing things about the gijinka costumes is it is something simple to make and more importantly to wear. If you ever want to cosplay at a con or a picnic and not have to worry about mobility or safety costumes like gijinkas are great.

I think you are all just butthurt - go cry somewhere else.

>>2982763
I'd love to do something like this.

>>2982593
Gijinka isn't any less furfaggy than a Mascot costume. Even furries do gijinka esque costumes.

Plus, if you're cosplaying a pokemon mascot style, you are just cosplaying and not being a furry.

A furry is someone who believes they have some animal persona AKA fursona and all that crap. And they pretty much only like to do their own "original character".
Anyway, I don't like Gijinka for the same reason I don't like SNJ stuff or the same reason I wouldn't make a costume that only shares the same color scheme as any other character and cosplay of that character. For example, I wouldn't wear a navy blue shirt with yellow stripes and call it "Roy Mustang" from FMA. If I'm going to cosplay a Charmander or somthing, I'm going to actually try and make it look like it, just as I would with a human character like Roy.

>>2982919
I believe the Gijinka is somewhat based on the fact some of the in-game trainers resemble and dress similar to their Pokemon... Not necessiarily that they /want/ to or believe they are a Pokemon...

Gijinka itself has been around long before the Pokemon Gijinka became popular, it's basically anthromorphication of anything, be it an operating system or software, or something real or something of fiction.

Are you going to go around calling every Miku cosplayer a furry because they're an anthro of Yamaha software?

>>2982981
>Are you going to go around calling every Miku cosplayer a furry because they're an anthro of Yamaha software?

Well NOW I am.


I maintain the belief that people do gijinkas because:
1) The Pokemon they're doing is anatomically not cosplayable.
2) They don't want to do a mascot because:
a) They lack the skill.
b) They're afraid of being called a furry.
3) Lazy slackers, the lot of ya.

My one gijinka is due to 3. 8D

Gijinka cosplays exist so that you have something simply/comfy to wear Sunday, while recovering from a Saturday night hangover.

>>2983205
D'oh ho ho! Oh u! XDDD;;

>>2983205
c) They lack the money to make a mascot

>>2983205
Or people just don't want to wear a mascot costume plain and simple. They want to be recognizable and move around freely. A Gijinka is merely something that represents a character or object in human form, and the designs people come up with are great. Also not everything looks good as a mascot. If I wanted to cosplay as windows 7, a giant computer just isn't pleasing while a gijinka is.

>>2983362
>They want to be recognizable
Which, unfortunately, a lot of people don't nail that well with gijinkas :/

>>2983386
I meant as themselves, you can't see the persons face in most mascot costumes.

>>2983252
This.
I do gijinka Pokemon as lasy Sunday costumes, cosplay picnic costumes, or small con costumes.
I'll never understand making a gijinka Pokemon costume as a main costume for a huge con, unless it's something badass, like Palkia or Dialga.

>>2982981
Miku is different since she is a "official" design.

>>2983599
And what about all the fan designs?

>>2983599
but what she classifies as doesn't change because she's official.

>>2983656
What?


If people are cosplaying Miku with the same stuff shes wearing, then they are doing it accurately. If they are making up some thing that vaguely looks like it then its like doing a Gijinka of a pokemon.

In one case you are actually accurately portraying a character and the other you are distantly portraying it.

thinking of doing a last minute Eevee, anyone have any examples? what would you do for the big neck tuft? like material wise? I was thinking of just modifying an aviators jacket and wearing some brown pants, but i'd want the fur on the neck to be chunky and look like hair (thinking making it out of wigs, would this be terrible?)

male by the way

>>2983205
Weren't you going to make a Typhlosion mascot too though ?

>>2983719
Eh, my idea was to make all four last-stage Fire starters, but that idea has waned with my general drive to cosplay. I definitely won't be making any more mascots.

.>>2983895
For a while, or ever?

>>2982295
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

less bitching more pix

>>2984031

>>2983981
Probably ever. Tired of the furry accusations and jokes, as much as I try to take it in jest. Besides, I have like, what, six and a half mascots as-is? I'm out of room and want to sell off a couple (Mewtwo and Lucario).

>>2984481

>>2983205
>I maintain the belief that people do gijinkas because:

You forgot one of the biggest reasons:

They're often kinda practical for general con-going.

When you're in mascot you have on activity - standing there for photos and wandering around to find the next place to stand for photos.

Most gijinkas are mobile and comfy enough that you can enjoy the con normally. Great for con sunday when you don't have a hotel room anymore, days you want to go to the dealer room or take photos, etc.

Personally, that's why gijinka costumes are awesome.

>>2983703
>male
>eevee

Enjoy your faggotry

>>2984813
There is only a 12.5% chance of catching a female eevee in game, it's more accurate to be male

>>2984901
Still looks like a faggot with an ascot.

>>2983703
Get a jacket with a big fur collar

>>2984901
Aesthetically, a male in an Eevee costume would look pretty flamboyant.

I consider gijinka pretty lazy myself. One small step above "original characters" for me. If the design was official, I wouldn't mind so much. But if you want an easy costume and to express your Pokemon fandom, do a trainer or something. Putting on a tank top and calling yourself a Pokemmon is just...eh

>>2984973
*Pokemon

in this thread i have read allot of things on how ppl think gijinka is being lazy, but what if you take the time, make hat/claws/hoodie/shoe covers/dress/ect.
is that still being lazy?

>>2984946

That comment reminds me when the Venture Brothers were ripping on Scooby Doo, and Freedy was at the punch bowl trying to impress some girls.

Freddie: "It's not a neck scarf, it's an ascot"
Girls, giggling "Whatever, nice neck scarf"

>>2984992
No, but a lot of people's argument seems to be "it's a great easy/casual costume."

Some people just don't like OCs/fan versions and rather stick to what's official is what these arguments boil down to, IMO.
