Avoid Tif at all costs.

>>4939536

Tell me more..

>>4939536
Sitting down on a pavement covered in cig buts. Silly girl.

>>4939547
And with a bluebottle up one nostril from the looks of things.

>>4939536

What is that black thing on the inside of her nose? I thought it was a smudge on my screen and tried to scratch it off...

>>4939536
I've seen her around. What's the story?

>>4939536
While I don't know her the girl I definitely say this is a pretty bad picture. Not fond that she does claim commissioned costumes as her own. Especially when entering comps.

Any good UK cosplayers?

>>4939566
Aside from her fondness for choosing characters that will enable her to let her tits hang out all over the place, there was massive drama surrounding her earlier this year. She's notorious among cosplayers for buying costumes, modifying them slightly and then pretending she made them. She did it at Hyper Japan this year and took second place, which included a prize of a sewing machine. The person who sold her the costume found out and was livid, posted evidence on 4chan and was encouraged to contact the HJ organisers about it. She did, but the upshot was that HJ said they weren't going to revoke their decision because they were satisfied that she'd done enough work for it to be OK, and besides, the prizes had already been sent out to the winners.

I've heard that she has acted as if this decision means she's getting away scot-free, but everyone knows what she did now.

>>4939576
If I remember rightly. HJ has said that they will tighten up on future comps. Personally, I felt she should have had her award revoked.

I'd be surprised if the Expo people let her enter without a giant 40 page folder of evidence that she made it.

Yeah, basically to those who don't know, Tif or Kara is loud, she has a horrible attitude especially to those who cosplay the same character as her. If you're not cosplaying as something she likes, she will completely blank you, even if you got on with her really well last con (when you coincidentally were cosplaying something she likes). She has been caught up in a lot of drama surrounding her friend groups.

I would normally ignore this, but the cincher is she buys or comissions cosplays and then passed it off as her own work. The seller of her Zidane cosplay from HJ caught her out and that's why everyone is now aware of what's she's done.

I find it amusing that now she's posted statuses about buying fabric for her new cosplays, I wonder if she's learnt her lesson now, only time will tell. She could just be making it up for all I know.

OP here
wow alot of drama from just one cosplayer
is there any others i need to watch out for ??

any good cosplayers out there in the UK?

>>4939583
Yeah, there has been that knock-on effect and it's a good thing too. IIRC they now say that competition entrants have to produce evidence that they've made at least 75% of their costumes themselves, which is very reasonable. How effectively it'll enable them to get around people doing the "buy costume, unpick seams, stitch back together and say LOL PROGRESS" thing I don't know.

>>4939605 how many of her costumes has she done this with ??

>>4939627
There was a thread a while back where an anon posted each of the costumes she's pretended were hers. Many of them she has now credited the original owner or commissioner. There was a smaller dramu around her Amano Terra, where it was bought but she insisted she had modified it enough so that "it was her very own work" (which is odd because she didn't touch the main dress, just the capes so it's not completely her work)

By estimate I'd say 50-75% of her completed costumes she bought from someone else and 75% of that she didn't credit to begin with until people kicked up a fuss. It's nice she is now crediting, but the damage has been done, tbh.

what made her think she could get away with it as long as she has im so shocked no one ever caught her out before.

i hope that we dont have any others who think they can do the same in the future

Another person to watch out for is FuriePhoenix aka cez as i have heard so many stories about her being quite stuck up and nasty to people behind their backs

>>4939733
Really? I always thought she was quite nice! Is she like that to other Ariels then?

>>4939688
People did catch her out, but when she was called out on it, comments would be deleted almost immediately.
There are screenshots floating around of purchases of costumes on ebay.

Reading this is putting me off the British scene sadly, it can't be all that bad surely? I've met some pretty cool cos players at MCM and through here and they've been nice, but the backstabbing is a little unsettling.

>>4939733

Ugh, this girl is annoying. I saw Ariel cosplayer who's been almost besieged by her just because she wanted to copy all her Ariel costumes.

>>4939800
Nah its not all bad but with the hundreds of people we got in the scene of course theres a few bad apples.

>>4939800
Don't worry, it's only a select few who you need to avoid, most of us are friendly and try to be drama free!

Avoid Street-angel. She's a stuck up controlling bitch. I heard Emi-zone & co kicked her out their group though. I'm hoping that's true because Emi is a lovely girl and doesn't deserve that crazy bitch tagging along after her.

>>4939800
Most cosplayers I've met are absolutely lovely. It's just a select few that ruin it. I love how close knit the UK cosplay community is, everyone seems to know everyone else.

>>4939813
Do you know the full story? I keep hearing rumours and I really want to know to know what happened!

>>4939813
I love Emi-Zone! She's so sweet. I love the Heroman cosplay she did with Franky.

>>4939820
Yeah, I notice this too, there's hardly anyone who's on their own and not with a group, but then there's not too much of a divide either.

(well, apart from Tif and her gang and FusionRose and her friends)

>>4939820
>>4939811
>>4939810

That's cool! This will be my 4th MCM I have attended, I live directly next to it so it should be fun! Lots of pictures to take!

Wanna cosplay this badboy in a year or two!

>>4939827
I don't know the full story sadly. Street-angel came up to one of my friends at Ayacon complaining about everyone in that group. I overheard one of them in the games room saying that they were fed up with her and weren't going to talk to her anymore. I know that Street-angel has been contacting people to try get in touch with Emi-zone which implies Emi is not talking to her.

>>4939837
I should add that I'm hearing this off other people so it might not be true

>>4939837
Ah I see. Well, I'm surprised since they seemed to be such good friends but that was from seeing them in public. I heard the rumour that Emi was supposed to be in the Pandora Hearts group at SNL but got dropped out for some reason but that's all. Unfortunately knowing what streetangel's like I'm not completely shocked this would happen one day.

>>4939828
Franky's such a great guy. His current girlfriend is a bit of a cow though. I'm glad he moved away from doing One Piece cosplay though. His cosplays are getting a lot better and even though they're still not perfect you can see how much he's improved.

>>4939813
I met her once at an Expo, she even lent me her laptop for something. Seemed perfectly nice to me.

>>4939855
She's really not a nice person most of the time, especially if you get bullied into one of her cosplay groups. There's so many stories of her shouting at her group behind the stage.

>>4939831


tbh i feel sorry for Tif's friends as the get a lot of crap from her as she tends to use people for what she can get off them the moves onto another person

As for FusionRose and her friends they have always been so nice to me and my friends

>>4939733
>>4939805


Tell me more.

>>4939832
Do it.

>>4939733
>>4939805
She's totally crazy. Thinks she actually is Ariel, and is not nice to anyone else who cosplays Ariel, or has cosplayed her in the past. She's threatened by anyone else who cosplays Ariel, and will be very nice to their face, but comment and pick flaws in what could be a perfect costume just to make herself feel better.

Definitely avoid.

Less about the scum of our scene, let's talk about the other thing Anon asked for, the best of our bunch.

I'm going to start with one of the obvious ones and says Xaerael. He's pretty much been the bar setter for the past 3-4 years now, and is such a nice friendly guy. He has my total support for ECC this year!

>>4939926
Xae is a sweetie! He is really friendly, and will gladly talk to you about techniques and answer questions about his costumes, and give advice too.

>>4939926

Mpf, I think almost every Ariel cosplayer thinks they're Ariel themselves.
The cosplayer I was talking about was Ariel Van De Kamp. I know Phoenix sent her messages through coscom and deviantart to ask her about how did she make her costumes.
It's so obvious she copied her by a lot of details.

Anyway, Van De Kamp doesn't seem that bitchy, but I read the story in a picture of her fb *stalkers gonna stalk*

>>4939925
I suddenly want to see a massive bitch fight between her and Tracy Hines....

>>4939943

cgl seems suddenly awashed for Ariel nutshells lol

>>4939853
Why is she a cow? She's always been nice enough to me.

>>4939926
I agree. He is such a lovely guy too. Very supportive and helpful.

>>4939936
He must think i've wronged him in some way, because he was glaring at me everytime I was in the same room as him at Ayacon, he really seemed irked about something. Would have put it down to my imagination but it happened every single time. Considering I think i've only spoken to him once.

Don't know him personally but seems a talented enough cosplayer.

>>4940251
I'm too scared and humble to have a conversation woth Xaerael...that's just me being a weak bitch more than anything tbh.

>>4940251

I promise I wasn't glaring at anyone! I was pretty busy over the weekend (like... 8 panels? and SkekSil for the masq x_x) and I have a habit of staring off into the distance when I'm in deep thought/tired, you must have been unlucky enough to be infront of me during those (frequent) moments. I actually totally suck at eye contact in general, so glaring at someone would be a pretty epic feat for me! haha.

In general, unless your name is Matt Catt or Mike Towers, I'm cool with you.

>>4940276

Psh! Just ask how I made something. That's pretty much the best way to open conversation with me. ;p

My love. <3

>>4940414
Fair enough, thanks for clearing that up :)

I know who Mike Towers, but who is Matt Catt? Another AL cult leader?

>>4940447

Nah, Matt Catt is a lying little scammer. Used to go by Venom da Lemon on CI and Beatmatic on coscom until I caught him posting other people's photos on CI and claiming them as his own. I PMed him and warned him that if he didn't remove all the photos belonging to other people I'd publicly out him. (My main gripe was people were impressed by the work and praising him heaps. All praise that belonged to someone else). He did as I asked and vanished for a while.

He then commissioned a Yoko rifle from an awesome guy in the states, started posting photos of the progress claiming it was him doing it. He was also gloating at this time that he was "Going to make Xaerael look like a fool when he brought his amazing Yoko rifle to expo for someone to borrow". (Basically, he was hoping that the rifle would woo his ex (a frequent Yoko cosplay) back to him after she left him due to the previous incident). Again, I found the guy's website where exactly the same photos were posted, Emailed him and he confirmed that it was Matt Catt who had commissioned him. I then busted him AGAIN very publicly by posting links to the guy's blog in Matt's comment thread. A few hours later Kat (CI admin Kat) nuked his account and told him not to come back unless he behaved.

He then slimed off to DA and did the same thing. Only this time he "opened for prop commissions" (which was something he was obviously incapable of since he used his commissioned yoko rifle as his main example). At this point, I posted him on Artists Beware on LJ and his page got zerged with warning comments.

After this he vanished for a good long while, posting occasionally on coscom and 405th. Recently he cropped back up on CI under the username "Cosmech" where he still is.

tl;dr: He's a scammy liar who tries to use other people's hard work to scam people into paying him to make things.

>>4940531
Eurgh, I hate it when people do that. He's like Tif but takes it to a whole new level!

Xae off topic, will you be planning another set of Prosthetics panels at a future con? I miss out at Aya and a future future project would benefit greatly from the tips!

Avoid - http://cosplayisland.com/overview/Darkiekun

Darkiekun.

If her badly made cosplay doesn't turn you off, her personality might... What ever you do don't give her constructive criticism... she might explode...

>>4940547

Provisionally planned for Ame. We'll probably do the same thing as we did at Aya with a few more filler bits when boring crap is happening (like the mould cleaning, which I felt must have been pretty dull to watch).

I'm also hoping to do a "Chemistry" panel, covering stuff like casting resins and mouldmaking.

>>4940414
It's true. We were talking and then he zoned out a bit, I am pretty sure he was day dreaming about zombies.

Dude, it's your birthday, shouldn't you be having more fun than being here?! Haha.

>>4940573
Aaaah awesome! I'm going to be fiddling around with life casting of the head, and want to research every detail before setting out. It won't happen for a good year or so though when I can actually fund the darn thing...

>>4940589
Aaaah yes that's right it's Xae's birthday today! Many happy returns!

>>4940589

haha, yeah, I do that far too much.

I've spent the day in hog's heaven sculpting a new carapace for SkekSil for the finals in October. Best birthday EVAR!!!

Since people have said nice things about me, have a previously unposted picture of it.

>>4939873

There aren't so many stories, there is one, Midlands Expo and that's because, as was explained by no less than three people on that thread, the rest of the group wasn't paying attention, none of them had slept and one of them was getting bad stage fright. She's only been in 4 groups for those paying attention.

>>4940568

Darkie-kun...yeah bad costumes but she was really nice at the Pandora Hearts meet at Aya.

Personally haven't had any drama with any UK cosplayers I've met but maybe I've just been lucky.

Don't avoid anyone, be open and friendly, make up your own mind about the results.

Simple

>>4940620
Shouting at someone because they have bad stage fright? That sounds like a bitch to me.

>>4940691

She wasn't shouting at the person who had stage fright, she was trying to get the rest of the group to practice because of the one that had stage fright. They hadn't done a run through and they were lining up to go on stage.

>>4939813

Doesn't seem crazy to me, I bumped into her before a masquerade and part of my costume was falling off and she stitched it back up for me.

>>4939873
Oh please. There's so much going around about StreetAngel and from what I know of her, most of it isn't true.

>>4939873

Please name who has been bullied into one of her cosplay groups?

>>4940609
Is that FatKraken's Rigaldo costume I spot in the background?

>>4939733

She's always been perfectly nice to me.

>>4940782

It certainly is! We kinda landed after Aya and haven't tidied the studio yet.

>>4940609
Happy Birthday!

>>4940729
This. When I met StreetAngel at MCM last october, she seemed really nice. I mean granted, I've only met her once, but it was a pretty good first impression.

>>4939837
>>4939839

Complaining in what way? Trying to get the full story.

This will be my 5th London mcm expo i always come back from them with about 30 more friends on facebook an 2 or 3 people who become actual friends. in 3 years of mcm and other cons iv only met 2 annoying people an i just tell them both to go away.

>>4940414
I don't think I have ever met you Xaerael? But for your anti Towers sentiment you already have my adoration.

Good luck in the EC!

Off the top of my head, UK cosplayers I like...
Pez and Storme are great, as is Sephirayne, and I really like Leadmill and Alias. I'd throw out some photos, but that's hard to do on my phone.

To be honest, all of the people I hang out with are really nice, and are great cosplayers, but they're all pretty much unheard of or under the radar in terms of 'cosplay fame' so I don't want to post them here.

>>4942706
It's impossible to have a negative word about Sephirayne, honestly one of the best people in the scene.

>>4942706
I agree with Pez, Storme and Sephirayne. All three of them are really lovely, and so down to earth.
I don't know Alias, so can't comment. But Leadmill I disagree with. When ever I've spoken to him in person or on a forum, he's been nothing but incredibly rude. Tends to think he knows everything, and when proven wrong, or talked back to, attempts to gain an upper hand by belittling and patronising others.

>>4942755
Nah I disagree with you on Leadmill - I have known him a fairly long while now but he is a good man.

Totally agree with Storm and Pez being awesomely sweet people as well!

>>4942756
This, I use to browse the same forum as him airsoft related mind you we were not BFFs or anything. He was pretty cool back then. I must say though I've not spoken to him since my exodus so I wouldn't know.

>>4942765
Who exactly are you talking about, dude?

>>4942769
Why the fuck did my email...? Fuck you, autocomplete.

Ohwell.

>>4942769
Ah tits, sorry I forgot to add the person I was talking about was Leadmill.
As I said mind you. It was years ago, he could be a completely different person from the Leadmill I once talked to on occasion. I know I've changed a lot since then.

>>4942755
I know he used to post a lot on cosplayfucks, might have stopped, can't say I know.

>>4942756
Hmm... maybe I've just had some bad run ins with him. I don't know him well, so can only comment on the few times I've spoken to him on forums/in person.

>>4942797
Without trying to sound intrusive, which forum did you talk to him?

>>4942790
Lol on the airsoft factor, I knew who you were talking about immediately .. >.< ... too much airsoft.

>>4942797
Probably did man, he is fairly laid back most of the time .. except for that one time he killed and burnt that hobo ... he was less laid back then.

Time to post nudes of britfag cosplayers!

>>4942837
If your going to bring that shit in here, something other than Leonie for a change.

>>4942819
>too much airsoft.
Oh you.

>>4942855
Never enough airsoft right? ...You still into airsoft or left it completely?

>>4942881
I'm not 'into' it per se. I was a chairsofter and wasn't all into it, when I had a jorb, now though I'm poor as hell and I have cravings fairly bad. :(

>>4942855
>>4942915
I could totally get into airsoft... I never was allowed a BB gun as a kid :C

Which is quite amusing since I played with air rifles instead.

Street-Angel has always bugged me a bit but I have no sensible reason why. She seems to recruit loads of people in to groups and then makes the whole group's costumes which strikes me as kind of scary and controlling. Then again I don't know what the people involved feel so it may all be cool.

Other than that I just remember her once coming off stage after a masq and going "Oh look! We won -again-!" which really grated on me.

>>4939528
The laws are lul jokes .. I could go into it but lets put it this way I can walk into any hunting shop prove I am over 18 and buy a Crossbow ... but due to VCRA anyone wishing to get into airsofting has to wait visit a site 3 times in over two months to become registered.

... I could go on about this .. I have done in the past elsewhere .. but bah.

Airsoft is good fun but expensive good fun, actually going to a game site isn't that much more than an average days paintballing but getting your own kit is where the money plug falls out :D

>>4942915
Always the future to come, can get back into it any time.

>>>/k/

>>4942932
Yea that shit was close, prefer to have and be anally regulated than not have at all.

>>4942936
... ahhh true .. /k/ is fucking annoying though real guns do not equate to the same conversation as airsoft.

Hmmm... I don't like Michael Towers he is a massive dick .. I have no qualms with saying that out loud .. he was removed from the last MCM expo wasn't he .. that shit made my day.

Cosplayer wise .. I think I am far too civil I don't really avoid anyone I am just civil to the ones I don't like and hang around the ones I do.

On the lovely side of the cosplayer thing .. Gaming Godess / Victoria and Freddie are both lovely woman to chat too and always friendly.

>>4942919

The only group where she's made the majority has been the Vesperia Group where all of those involved wanted to take part and all of those, bar her own, that she made, she made because they each in turn turned around and said they couldn't make it but they still wanted to do it.

I only know cause I spoke to her after the Midlands masquerade had finished, she was pretty out of it to be honest due to lack of sleep. Having spoken to her since she seems nice and willing to help if asked and as has been said before me a lot of these rumours seem to have been greatly exagerated.

>>4942981

How so?

>>4942755
You left out that I also eat babies.

>>4942819
You promised not to tell anyone about that. Especially as it was your lighter we used...

>>4942755
Pez and Strome are lovely. They were really supportive when I was going through a tough time.

I love Nocturnal Blossom and Monkey. They do such amazing outfits and are lovely. I like Lex as she was one of the first people I got to know. Sands is great too and very talented.

I don't know Street Angel but whenever I saw her she seemed very controlling. I was off put getting to know her plus I really like Emi.

>>4943472
Nocturnal Blossom and Monkey are two of the funnest people on the scene. They're hardly ever serious and I have always had a laugh when hanging out with them, Jibsy and Bedoc.
They are an amazing group.

>>4942797
You probably did catch me at bad time to be honest. I spend most of my cons stressed as normally whatever i'm wearing is falling apart because i've been cutting corners again. Add to that I have a marmite personality it was only a matter of time before I pissed someone off however unintentionally.

Have a funny picture to make you smile!

>>4943800
hey Leadmill, are you going to MCM?

>>4943808
I am mate, yourself?

>>4943821
Not too sure at the moment, will find out by the end of the month really.

>>4943800 As long as you don't mind Leadmill tearing apart your Yorkshire accent, you'll get along fine.

>>4943797
Yes, I love them all as a group. I love that they have fun with cosplay and don't take it seriously at all.

>>4943821
Will see you there dude, you in the PTI .. for once I shall be there too.. as in actually staying there

>>4944023
You love it! :D

>>4944154
Yeah i'll be there again. We shall have to catch up over a pint.

Next top model is going to be at Expo, if they close that wing closest to our hotel again like they did for medical conference I will be monumentally pissed off.

I figured this would be the place to ask :

Is AlCon really as bad as everyone says it is? Why? I'm going this weekend, so I figured I might as well go prepared.

>>4944270

For what it's worth, I went to Alcon once, I had a great time with my friends but that wasn't really down to the con. I very much enjoyed the parties, the venue was alright and apart from the events I wanted to go to being cancelled there were some others to make up for it.

I will say that I had my own personal bad experience with Mike Towers and I've seen and heard things to substantiate some of the rumours where he is concerned but it's not really my place to say who and what.

My advice would be to go, enjoy the con, make some friends. If you come away and you feel that the con let you down then well, there are plenty of others.

>>4944270

If you're into screaming mindless 16 year old weebs who think carameldansen is still cutting edge stuff, and think getting raped by the main organizer is a great way to end your weekend, you'll love it.

>>4944295
>>4944306

Sounds like pretty sound advice. I'm only going down for one day, so I'll miss all the parties anyway. I'll stay the hell away from that Towers guy though. Thanks for the warning!

>>4944335
>Go to Alcon.
>Avoid Towers.

What is this?

I'd rather cut off my balls and wear them as earrings than go to AlCon again.

>>4944347
I went to LAC and didn't see him. I think you're pretty safe if you stay away from the raves, them's his rapin' grounds.

Still no nudes? Why are people on 4chan so reluctant to post the pics they clearly have saved of people such as KellyJane and Leonie!

>>4939528
I'll just leave this here. It's supposed to be a 'cosplay' of 'evil Alice'.

I've lived in the UK my entire life and I am quote embaressed by it so most of the time when I go to conventions I lie and tell people I am nordic. >.<

I have yet to have the pleasure of meeting Mike Towers face to face.

But you know... he IS banned from MCM Expo and can't come nowhere near the Excel grounds.

>>4944255
Make mine a cranberry :P, oh can't remember if I asked you going to fushi?

>>4944270
Fuck Michael Towers the cunt, I could rage at him so much but that would imply I still care.

>>4944356
Anyone on here used to go to the original LAC .. you know the one that was basically just a gathering and meeting place for good people. As opposed to the mess that the current AL LAC is.

>>4946102
I went to LAC earlier in the year, Feb I think. Boy it was terribad, Spent an hour getting there, spent an hour there then left again.

>>4946115
>.< well at least you survived right? ...

>>4945508
Really? You know who else does that? PT.

Yeah.

Just sit down and have a little think about how retarded that is.

>>4946145
It's ok, just let the nice anon pretend to be Nordic .. am pretty certain from all of the Nordic folk I know they wouldn't actually let him pretend for long.

>>4946163
My ex pretended to be Swedish, why do I keep running into these people? Especially the ones who can't even speak the language, that's just retarded. Sure I'd rather be German than English but that doesn't mean I pretend to be German, because, well, that's stupid. Unless I'm trying to make drunken men go away, then pretending to be foreign becomes hilarious. Oh u, languages.

I know this isn't really related to the cosplay community but I'm just wondering if there is a site or something which has a list of all the cons in the UK over say the next year?

>>4946170
This site has quite a lot.

http://www.animetion.co.uk/features/08events/08events.htm

>>4946168
Also speaking in a thick fake Norwegian accent in Norwegian makes charity people go away .. the more persistent ones that is .. the rest I just blank.

>>4946170
Here you go http://www.animecons.com/events/calendar.shtml/

The problem is a lot of people have issues with Michael Towers for obvious reasons, being a spam lord and so on. A lot of other people are just hipsters trying to jump a bandwagon. So it can sometimes be hard to get though the crap

>>4946178
>>4946181
Thanks guys, if I get brave enough, I might try heading out to a con in 2012, I'm not sure ;-;

>>4946182
Ugh, dat spam. EVERY WEEK, I get an email update on the three threads I posted in while trying to meet people on his forums before LAC. EVERY WEEK. I STOPPED GIVING A SHIT MONTHS AGO. Not to mention the constant fucking emails about ALCon, which I have never had and will never have an interest in attending.

>>4946187
Ayayayayayaya. I'm hoping to go to Aya next year, it looks like the best one, just couldn't afford it this year.

>>4946190
Should be Ame next year no? Also I will be there regardless of which I was pissed off that I missed out on Aya.

>>4946187
Come along all is welcome.

>>4946192
I haven't heard as much about Ame, where is it? I really fancy Aya because it's only like an hour and a half's drive away and I can't be arsed with hotels.

>>4946190
>>4946192
I might try, I would just need to try getting over feelings and I would need to sort out other stuff (getting there, where I'm staying, not being alone for the entire con etc)

But I do want to go and get out and make friends in real life.

>>4946195
Where would you be coming from? Also I'm sure you can find various seagulls to hang around with throughout the con, there's plenty of us.

>>4946194
it is amecon next year: http://amecon.org/

Keele uni.

Still should be good.

>>4946201
I live near Milton Keynes, I'm not really sure how far away that is from different cons.

>>4946213
Come to Kitacon, it is in Birmingham easy to get to and awesome.

<3 Kitacon cos am a bitch like that.

>>4946215
Oh gosh lol, I'm getting all excited and everything is so far away in time lol. I mean, I guess the only thing I'm worried about is being alone at an event, I tend to get scared and would probably never leave my room.

>>4946218
Nuuhhhhh there are plenty of friendly people there hell I will be there, when I see lonely people I invite them into my group and talk to them make them feel part of the con too!

>>4946221
That's really kind of you!

I think what I might try doing though is to make a friend online and see if they would come to the con with me, so at least I could be with a person for the con since I don't I could be alone around loads of people ;-; at least right now I don't see myself being able to do that.

>>4946228
Sounds like a plan, you can always come to Expos as well, easy place to just spend the day ... but remember what you put in is what you get. If you find people to talk to and make the effort then you will get people talking to you! :)

>>4945508
haha oh man that's a really strange and elaborate thing to say

so where do you get all these whacky factoids and quotes and stuff?

>>4939925
This is spot on.

She also thinks her ball-jointed-dolls are real and she posts pictures of them kissing and taking each others clothes off. It's kinda creepy.

>>4946267

YES BUT WHY ARE YOU PRETENDING TO BE NORDIC YOU STUPID HOE

>>4946278

>dad's mum born in Ulricehamn (family from all over Vastra Gotaland)
>mention in thread that I'm 'nordic blonde'
>URR WHY AM I PRETENDING WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME

Yeah, who the fuck curr

I adore Pez and Storme, they are lovely people especially with the Coscraft business, really helpful!

gaming_goddess and Fredericalanoir always have lovely costumes, and a lovely personality.

Sephirayne is a sweetie, as is CrystalNeko, who's not as known as others, but both of their cosplays are awesome (I loved their respective Applejacks at Aya) Freyarule also isn't as known but her skits are improving I think, and her Stiltzkin at kita was just adorable.

ALSO FLUTTERSHY I LOVE YOOOOU


As for people to avoid, eh I don't get into drama. I've heard things about Tif and street-angel but I don't really bump into them so I can't judge for myself.

Wow lots of hate going around...
Me and a Friend are going, We will be cosplaying this year as mion and Shion.
Not entering any masqs as we bought skirts and school shirts -___-
All this Cosplaying Business looks so serious, I thought it was just about having fun with friends and other people who share the same interests as you.
Yet again some people get really 'competitive' whenever money is involved. Not that I would know anything about it, being a con-virgin and all, Still super excited to see everybody's costumes :D

>>4946303
That's the point, there is no money involved, mostly DVDs and even then it kind of isn't about that.

>>4946307
Yeah, tbh most people who are really competitive do it for the title of Best Expert etc etc rather than the DVDs. Then they can brag about it lol

>>4946307

Hyper Japan had two mahoosive TV's for first prize .. that was pretty cool.

Otherwise as said it is for the fame / appreciation of their art.

>>4946329
>mahoosive

Okay it's official, you are awesome. You are like the only person I've seen use that word, I thought I was the only one.

>>4946329
Prizes are usually ok but that's the best I've heard of in years,apparently it was hardly contested for either, poor TV.

>>4946333
The people who won them did have the best costumes there! .. as well as being lovely people.

But yes .. it was like 5 entries?

If my memory serves me rightttttttttttt the very first cosplay masquerade at the first MCM expo to have an anime village (8 years ago?) had a prize of a TV and some other cool shit .. and a Lara Croft cosplay won it ...

I got some DVDs for entering with my very first shit costume.

>>4946331
Hahah awww thank you internet love yay.

>>4946341
I would love some free dvds just for turning up but now so many people enter and turn it into a popularity contest rather then an actual cosplay judging event. Which is why I have never entered any ( well that and stage fright...)

>>4946298
Fluttershy as in... me? Because if so then ilu too anon <3

>>4946213
!!!!!

You live well near me! I live in Watford! (half the time anyway) Let me know if you stop being shy and ronery and wanna meet up n stuff.

>>4946298
I agree with all of those. They are all lovely. Each coming into there on as a cosplayer. Can't to see more from each of them.

I want a mahoosive tv now. Mine's just about had it. Better pull my finger out and make something decent.

>>4946360
CAREFUL .. Hexen is clearly a Canibal ;P

>>4946366
Oh lawd did you see me posting in that thread with the bite mark? Urk.
>>4946360
also here's my msn lonelyfag if you wanna be kawaii furendus uguu.

>>4946367

I will also add you after lunch because work is being slow today ....


...

Mine is also on here, feel free to add em too lonelyfag.

I've remembered a few more names I like!
Wyrdsister is wonderful and so very nice, and Sephirayne's brother and his partner seem really nice too. I've only met them both the one time but they were lovely and I love all of his Johnny Depp costumes!
Alyx is really really sweet, and she really puts a lot of effort in to everything.
And I agree with the above about Freyarule and Crystal Neko, too.
I also like Ranma 1/2, he's a great guy and I don't see everyone's problem with him!

>>4946420
People have problems with Ranma 1/2? That is news to me. What kind of problems?

>>4946425

All I've heard is people bitching and moning about how he always wins performance on the back of meager costumes and drag dancing.

Personaly I think he's hilarious and really nice if you talk to him. But such the price of success on the UK scene, jealousy turns to bitter rumour mongering.

>>4946425
Usually after an Expo or a con he's performed at there's one or two people who'll go on the threads here and say that they're sick of seeing him over and over, or that he's too old for this, or that he's just simply a bad crossplayer. I've heard it maybe 3-4 times now... It makes me sad because he never has a bad word against anyone and I think he's still really good.

>>4946425
Whaaaat? Ranma has been nothing but nice. He helped me out loads when I first got into cosplay. Lovely guy.

>>4946433
>>4946430
Personally, for his age, he's amazing, I mean 48 and he actually looks good doing it all. Keep it up!

>>4946436
Me too! That's one of the reasons I think so much of him, he'll always lend a hand!

I'm glad I was wrong and most people don't have a problem with him, does anyone know if he's working on anything at the moment?

>>4946444

Galaxia is still in progress but I'm not sure what he's got planned specifically for upcoming events

Wow, that's bullshit. Steve is a great guy. IIRC he's only won a comp prize (at mcm) like.... twice? First year I Cosplayed (he was a sailor moon chara) and the year he did the magic show.

I also hate the phrase "Too old". Fuck anyone who says that, and their funcop ways. Cosplay is one of the few hobbies that any age or skill range can participate in, and you generally get better with age as your skill improves (and you can afford more expensive materials, derp).

>>4946454

Actually he's won pretty consistantly at the Midlands Expo as well as London and it's always for a similar routine, dem legs, so I can see why people would get a bit...tired of it shall we say?

That said, I love watching him and I agree he's one of the nicest guys on the scene a testiment that age is no cap for what you enjoy.

In all honesty, being a competative person myself, I know there's no point whinging about someone beating you and hating them for it. Up your game or take it less seriously otherwise it's no fun for anyone right?

>>4946460

Ahh, fairnuff, I don't do the midlands expo generally. Isn't midlands generally quieter on the masquerade front though?

Only time i've met Towers he gave me money. Not for sexual favours I like to add.

I like Steve, I always seem to end up next to him in the Masq queues waiting to go on and he's always been really nice.

>>4946471

It gets less entries but then a lot less people attend. It's got a more 'family friendly' approach in that the crowd sits much closer to the stage, stage is smaller, there's a lot more interaction with the crowd and it's generally a lot of fun whereas London is somewhat more serious.

Don't tend to get a lot in the way of skits/performances and Steve always manages to combine a well tailoured costume with a well practiced and entertaining performance but last Midlands for example, there were these two girls, who I believe were/are trying to be a dance group, in kimonons doing an original dance which just looked...amateurish. I don't like the term weeb as I think everyone is entitled to enjoy anime and cosplay etc in their own way but the look on their faces when they lost. Looked like they'd just sucked a lemon.

I think people would just like to see something different from him? No denying he's good, he's proven his routine works, won a fair few times etc but hey, it's his call. As far as I know he just does it cause he loves it and you can't blame a person for that.

>>4946473
Did you kill some one for Towers? Is that why he gave you money?

>>4946460
Yeap he's won a few times. But I do think its well deserved. He does bring good well rehearsed performances and quite often actually makes eye contact with the audience. This is a crucial element that let down so many other performances. I know the dance skit you mean and I have to say, while they clearly rehearsed it I found it to be boring as they didn't connect with the audience.

I do think Steve is a lovely guy and always looks amazing. I love that he is an older cosplayer who doesn't care that he is. I would say that he needs to change some elements of his performance as I did find myself not as entertained with the Katy Perry one he did for May Expo this year.

>>4946484
I quite like the Midlands Expo. Its not as chaotic as London and I'm able to meet up with everyone I want to meet up with.

>>4946488
No, he gives out cash prizes for the cosplay comps at the lolfest that is collectormania. I'd never been before and each day only had about 8 entrants. Made about £150, which then paid for my ticket to the Grand Cosplay Ball. Fun weekend in all.

>>4946548
Mother fucking win my good man!

Hell yeah.

>>4946213
Here's mine as well, add if you want lonelyfag.

>>4946658
Well would you look at that, my previous post didn't contain my email address. That's been rectified.

>>4946659
I shall also add you good sir.

>>4946672
Excellent.

>>4946356
Yes it was aimed at you! <3

>>4946420
Steve is a sweetheart, I love talking to him in the masquerade queue. I want dem legs so bad....I can see why some people think he needs to change his routine a bit as he has done miming skits for a while now (from what I remember he's done Katy Perry last Mcm then the one before he did Florence which was quite similar (well apart from the song obviously).

He usually wins at Midlands because there is rarely any strong competition - because of the location good performers at London can't get to it as easily. I myself want to go to a Midlands Expo one day just to see the difference. I like how they have the old format of prizes and music from before the parade/expert format of London (which works just as well for the giant demand of London). Although watching the videos from manchester, I can't remember - does the old format have a Best Peformance prize or is that only added with the London format?

>>4946710
Awww well thank you very much! <3 Do tell, Who are you, my anonymous lover?

A relatively unknown cosplayer I quite like is Fishyfins, he's very humble and polite, if a little weird at times! (I felt he needed a mention since we're good friends ahahaha)

I'll stop throwing out names now, I think!

>>4946710

The Midlands and Manchester format is junoir, 1st, 2nd, 3rd prize, best performance and judges award. Or at least that's the basic structure. In the case of Manchester where we only had 1-2 junoirs and performances we just had 5 general prizes awarded for one reason or another.

>>4946744
Ohohohoh <3

>>4946754
Ah I see! I was a little confused because there wasn't a Best Performance but now I think back, you're right there were only a couple of performances. Hopefully the cosplay scene there will grow as well, from what I saw for a first year there was an amazing turnout.

>>4946759

There were far bigger numbers at Manchester than were anticipated but that venue for the space that was alotted is 3 times more expensive than the Midlands Expo venue which gives 3 times the space. Not sure about the future of Manchester Expo from that point of view, though I for one very much enjoyed it and that I got to spend the weekend in another city with the town centre on the doorstep of the convention.

If you're a girl, watch out for JakeX. He's not rapey or anything, just a bit slimy.

>>4946800

I've heard about him but never met him I don't think. I heard he's really creepy and pushy.

I heard there was a webcam wank incident regarding JakeX. Might be interwebs roomurz though.

>>4946800
JakeX flirts with every hawt female, then thinks he's pulled but I don't think he's been a proper relationship so far.

He's not slimy, just a bit awkward.

Apparently some girl messed him up pretty bad, but I don't know any details

Steve is supersweet, but I wish he'd mix things up a bit! I loved his Darth Vader, and although he certainly does have DEM LEGS, he makes a cool male so it would be nice to see him cosplay other stuff too. Also, behold my fierce editing skills.

As far as JakeX... he's harmless. A complete sweetheart. Awkward, a tendency to get way too drunk, gawks a bit too much over the hot girls but he wouldn't hurt a fly.

Another to watch out for is Shinji Ikari. Known to cosplay the Tenth Doctor, very badly. I think he's currently banned from every major anime convention in the UK, he's a complete letch and your quintessential "forever alone" type.

>>4946993
He was at the last ayacon

>>4946993

Lol what did he do to get banned?

Yeah, JakeX is really quite sweet if you get to know him. He's tried to chat me up a couple of times, both times pretty clumsily, but he's never struck me as slimy.

The only person I can think of who strikes me as genuinely worrying in the creeper stakes is that Shinji Akari guy (just looked on the Ayacon members list and there's a ShinjiUK listed, not sure if it's the same guy but he's the only one using the name "Shinji"). I was quite dismayed to see him at Ayacon as I'd heard he'd been banned from everything except Expo and the like. There are assorted rumours about creepy things he's done, granted they are just rumours but he just oozes creepiness from every pore. He was being very creepy around a near-unconscious girl at Aya, it was very unsettling.

>>4946972

Jake can be a pretty vicious troll on here though so I wouldn't say sweatheart. Akward definately.

>>4947007

See above, he's a perv. Not only has he been known to make inappropriate advances at cosplayers, but he seems to think he is a figure of authority wherever he goes, and he's pissed a lot of people off with it.

>>4947001

He was at the last Kitacon too, despite being banned. I'm counting on him trying it next year too.

>>4946993

I have been told the full story on him but it's gone right out of my head. Definately one to avoid though.

Monkey, Nocturnal Blossom, Pez, Storme, Franky, Archer and DarkerLink are some of my favourite people on the scene. I don't know many guys.

Are there any recomendable guys on the UK scene, all the ones I've met so far have either been perpetuals creeps or only nice to you if they want something. Maybe I'm just hanging with the wrong people.

>>4947037
email me i'll show you a good time ma

>>4947037

...recommendable for what?

Just go out to the events and talk to people there, you'll soon find out who to avoid.

>>4947060

Just meant personality wise.

>>4947037

Too vague hun. Age range? Potential relationships?

Lol britland.

I learned the other day that the American accent is closer to the original British accent than the current British one is. Fun fact.

I wouldn't say there is such a thing as 'British' accent as I can't think the Scots, the Irish, the Welsh and the English sound like each other, not to mention regional dialects that have taken on a life of their own.

>>4947079
Well, that does depend on who still speaks the Queen's English and not chavspeak, what what.

>>4947091
I agree with you somewhat except for the part about whales. Fuck whales.

>>4947091

There's different American accents too and they're all rooted in Irish and European anyway so there's bound to be similarities

>>4947108

On that note, anyone been watched the new Torchwood?

Fusionrose & co are some of the nicest cosplayers I've met. I don't usually go to the cons but when I do go they always make me feel welcome and comfortable and included. They're really fun to be with and they do photoshoots for every person so you get some good pictures of your cosplays.

>>4947119

I've facepalmed my way through most of it.
So let me get this straight, in Dr Who a kid cries about monsters and the Dr comes running, over in Dr Who's spin off series NOBODY HAS DIED IN OVER TWO MONTHS and yet no Dr?

>>4947195

I met them for the first time at Aya, they're really lovely

Ive never had any problems with many cosplayers. everyone seems nice to me! just be friendly and dont stoop to the bad ones level :3

>>4946972
Who keeps making these collages?

>>4947195
Second things, people like Fusionrose, J-Po and BabemRoze are lovely to speak to. Really makes a change from Tif who just blanks you 95% of the time.

Speaking of Tif does anyone else remember that drama over a wig she comissioned from Lulu Rose?

>>4947119
I have, stopped after that "Jack has sex with men in the past and also Gwen does things but JACK IS HAVING SEX. WITH A MAN. IN THE PAST. Also, he's sad a lot!" episode. Fuck. I know it's part of Jack's character that he's flirty and pansexual and that doesn't bother me in itself, but an entire episode devoted to them hanging around half-naked while sad music plays? Get on with it, man. I ended up fast-forwarding through the scenes with whatshisface because they were so boring that it made me antsy to watch them.
Yeah, the character is probably important in the story later on. I don't care. The story has been progressing at a snail's pace so far and every episode is a disappointment plot-wise. Nothing happens. It's crazy frustrating and I'd rather just not find out what happens than have to sit through another hour of everyone running in circles, Rex awkwardly trying to be comic relief and Esther being dumb as a rock.

Do they feel like they need to add extra (~edgy~~) shit to appeal/shock their supposedly new American audience or something?

TL;DR: fuck Torchwood.

Avoid Tif at all costs. Jump in the Thames and swim away if you must. She is such a whore, she'll have to be buried in a "Y" Shaped Coffin. Hope she gets banned one day from entering compititions.

>>4947235

I agree, it's taking too damn long and I didn't like that episode either.

Have nothing against manxman and Jack's preferances have been addressed time and time again by now but the whole episode was so...cringy, even if it had been a girl Jack was chatting up the lines were terrible! Cringe cringe cringe.

Having watched this far I want to see the end but I'd rather it come faster with less crap in between.

Why are any of you surprised that this series of Torchwood is crap? It's been crap since 2006.

>>4947230
never heard of it, which wig?

>>4947246

I wouldn't say she was a whore. She is a confirmed liar though and has cheated her way into a fair few competitions recently. Also think the way she keeps bailing on the people she plans conventions with is a bit rude as they've been stumping up the cash for her and all.

>>4947254
She was originally going to cosplay Mai Valentine from Yugioh, and commissioned the wig from Lulu Rose. Unfortunately due to unforseen personal circumstances the wig couldn't be finished in time, and despite having good reasons and informing Kara of this, it didn't stop her whining about it, causing her friend Amanda (NightmareWings) to then accuse Lulu Rose of being a scammer and liar.

Kara later denied she ever complained about it (but it doesn't make sense, she must have whined about it to make Amanda so enraged about it)

Personally when Amanda isn't with kara and with her own other friends (like SlimDefinition) she's lovely to talk to. But it seems like Kara has moved on now to other friends, such as Vexer who was her Trance Zidane in HJ, and J-Ney.

MORE DRAMU

>>4939831

Any drama between the two groups?

>>4947290

Nothing new, they've moved on and their better when they're not together.

All in all it's been a quiet summer drama wise.

>>4939733

I heard FuriePhoenix hired a wheel chair for her crappy Ariel mermaid cosplay despite not actually being disabled. True or no? Is true Anyone find that a bit..wrong?

>>4947290
>>4947302
Hold on. I thought they were together at Kitacon? I swear I saw them hanging out??

>>4947309

Not really, if there was a mad rush on disabled that required the facilities wheel chairs then yeah maybe but as far as I know no one went without. If she around claiming to be disabled or con-ing people then yeah it would be morally wrong but as far as I know she was just a girl in a cosplay that she couldn't walk in.

>>4947317
>>4947309

I loved the outfit as a whole but the bottom fin looked like an old mans penis

>>4947270
Nightmare wings has a dead lulzy profile on plentyoffish

>>4947270
Beth is nice though, actually not a fan of J-ney, I know he maybe a lovely guy but he pissed off one of my friends severely by basically trying to get her to not do a cosplay because Kara was .

.. that annoys me, anyone can do any cosplay they like thank you very much!

expecting some form of facebook backlash in 5,4,3,2...

>>4947389
Lol! Beth is lovely, I'll say it again when she's not with Kara she's so approachable. Which is what makes me so sad when I see her act like Kara is a queen, it feels horrible to think Kara will one day drop her and move onto the next friend.

>>4947398
how long until she runs out of friends?

this picture scares me...

>>4947416
They entered the Square Enix competition at HJ, but asked not to be judged.

Most likely because Kara bought that Lulu costume.

>>4947439

The Yuna is wearing Tif's bought Yuna as well isn't she? Cpt. Wakka is lovely though.

>>4939528
>>4939528

Neko-Sora (Aka: Lizzy or "Nate").

This person must be avoided at all costs. While not very well known in the cosplay community she has her fair share of dramu stories.

My main problem with her is that she acts like an immature 12 year old to appear "cute" to gain friends, uses them, then throws them aside when they are no longer of use to her. She's been through more friendship groups than I've had hot dinners.

To top it all off, over the last few years she has increasingly developed the belief that she is the character Sora. To put it simply she is the Usagi Kou of Kingdom Hearts. The only difference is is that she isn't popular, pretty or as good a cosplayer as Usagi was.

Unfortunately she deletes and re-creates accounts (such as DA, YT and FB) regularly so it is quite hard to find examples of what a nasty person she is in the past.

Take my advice guys. This girl is one to avoid.

If all that hasn't put you off then maybe her KH/Vocaloid cross-over will:

http://cosplayisland.co.uk/files/costumes/975/22869/Sora%20Vocaloid%201.JPG

>>4947443
Yup, the Yuna outfit is Tif's as well.

>>4947482
I'd never heard of her before now, but thanks for the warning anon!

>>4947482
>Neko-Sora
>Mansfield.

That's Blue's part of the woods.
Lucky him.

Unfortunately lucky me too >_> *not*
I live pretty damn close. Most of the Notts and Derby cosplay lot will have at least heard of her I'm guessing. Me and my group of friends just tend to stay clear of her these days.

>>4939733

Definately Avoid FuriePhoenix, Especially if you're being Ariel or the same character as her. I'm surprised she doesn't morph into a wig snatchin' ghetto bitch. It's like she feels the need to be the centre of everyones world. Part of their world clearly isn't enough OH YEAH! little mermaid pun.

>>4947513
Smart idea anon, usually if someone's causing drama I tend to avoid them. Can't do with getting caught up in their drama...

I'm cosplaying Ariel at the Oct. expo, am somewhat worried by this

>>4947558

Bring a shovel and a bag of bricks my dear. clump her over the head with a shovel and sink her in the Thames with the bag bricks. If she attacks you you must be prepared, you're fair life depends on it. Lest the beast be unleashed

>>4947569

But if she is Ariel, surely the Thames won't be a problem for her mermaid self!

>>4947587
Lol'd harder than I should have at this.

>>4947558
No need to worry too much anon, what version of Ariel are you cosplaying?

>>4947609

I haven't decided, her blue and pink dress seem so overdone and I don't know how to do the scooped rippling neckline on her finale dress.

>>4947676
Would you be interested in doing this version, Ariel-anon? There's another green dress that I've seen face characters in Disney parks wear but I can't find a decent ref anywhere on google search :/

>>4947540
didn't one of her closest friends recently cosplay ariel tho?

>>4947731

Do you mean this one?

I haven't seen that green dress before, where's it from?

bump

>>4947790
Yes, that's the one! No idea where my one came from, it came up when I googled ariel green dress lmao!

>>4947790
She looks nothing like Ariel

>>4947676

You should do the Designer special edition one!!!
Pic amazingly related

>>4947987

I did think about it, but I don't know what fabric to use

>>4948019
The base dress could be a duchess satin or taffeta in turquoise with variating layers or blue and green taffeta or chiffon!

>>4947987
This line always makes me laugh. About 3 years ago I made a skirt that looks EXACTLY like that dress from the waist down.

I gave it to goodwill about 3 months before the designer line was announced. lolololol

>>4948084

I was thinking tafffeta on top of duchess satin. I think chiffon, give the amount of ruffling and it's tendancy to frey, would be too hard to work with.

>>4948118

I have a dress I wore to my senior prom that has that same layer effect going on. Other than boning and stuff for structure, that underlying fabric on it is actually very mesh-like and breathable. It's like a net that the pieces are sewn on to. And trust me, that's a good thing. I would have been dying of heatstroke if it wasn't. You don't see the bottom layer at all, so you can get away with it.

Thing is about Furiephoenix is that she's really shit.

She gets all this attention and she's not even any good. All her cosplays are crap, her Ariels are the worst out of anything she's done and she doesn't look like her AT ALL.

>>4948133

Ohh that's a good idea though where to procure such a fabric... as the weight of the ruffles would drag down ordinary dress net and I don't know where to get anything stronger

>>4948149

Yeah.. I don't really know where to get something like it, but I do know that you would be overheating really fast in something non-breathable. I was hot in that dress as is.

>>4948142

I think she's going to make a better Rapunzel than Ariel

>>4948164
Maybe, but that's not hard because her Ariel sucks serious ass.

>>4948142

This. I've seen her cosplays up close and they look so unfinished and tatty. I get that she sews stuff by hand but so do other people and they manage to make it look good.

Bad cosplay doesn't make someone a bad person and identifying with a character isn't a crime.

>>4948379

No. Being a backstabbing, two-faced, attention seeker makes them a bad person. Which she is.

>>4948420

This must have been recent as there's been quite a lot of this girl on 4chan lately, who'd she piss off so badly to keep getting brought up like this?

BUMP for moar drama

MOAR TIF LOLS

I like after all the drama about Tif not making her own stuff, she starts putting little notes like 'Tif cosplay' next to pieces of cut out fabric.

>>4950002
LOL

>>4950007
yeah, the example I was talking about

>>4950009
>>4950007

DIS IS MY BODICE

the hell? That does NOT look like a bodice should be. It should be more fitted...yes I know it's WIP but there should be a seam or dart where the boobs are...

I won't be surprised if she puts up photos of the commissioned costume near the end, the result of her 'progress' photos.

>>4950025
I have no clue what it is, it's for WCS though with Vexer. I don't see why they think they have a chance. WCS is based on performance as much as costume and from what I saw of their "performance" at HJ I was unimpressed.

>>4950019
Going by her journal I think she might have traced around a corset she had to get her 'bodice' shape. I have no words.

>>4950030
WCS? Really? Shows how arrogant and delusional she is for even thinking of entering. She needs a hell of lot more experience making her own stuff. If I was a judge I would be embarrassed for her.

>>4950030

Tif is entering WCS? Seriously? Sorry I thought you were making a joke

>>4950040
>>4950037
I wish it was a joke bros, but she is definitely going for it. I await watching her getting slaughtered.

Time for some saucy pics, anyone got any britfag nudes, especially of tif?

>>4950102
Aaah yes the rumoured bikini Tif photos that were swiftly taken down after flaming...

So erm, a little collage for you all.

Coincidence much? I don't think so.
Left is FusionRose and her boyfriend, right is J-Ney and Tif.

>>4950106

So Fusionrose kissed her boyfriend, whats wrong with that? Im sure if there dating they do it a lot.

but whats up with tif kissing j-ney? i thought he was gay?

bump for more Dramu

>>4950150

ok so its a well known pose for Lulu and Wakka

so what if FusionRose and her bf were kissing in the photo they are a couple

Just to point out that photo of FustionRose and her boyfriend was taken at Ayacon after the one taken of Tif and J-Ney was taken

Yes J-Ney is Gay and he wasnt Kissing Kara their lips dont touch this is know as stage kiss alot of fanfiction photo's are done like that

drama over nothing lol

all i have to say is 3 of those 4 costumes were hand made can you guess who bought theirs ??

Some of the nicest cosplayers on the scene include Sephirayne, Pez, Storme, Fusionrose, J-Po, SachikoYumi, Emzone, Fairyporchqueen, NavigatorxNami and CharlieDoryRose.

Only person i would tell you to beware of is Michael Towers.

Hope that helps!

I adore J-Po!

One of the nicest cosplayers out there.

>>4950236

thats the epic tifa i saw at expo! her and the aeris and cloud she was with were so lovely.

>>4950236
A lovely girl and a rather good cosplayer too!

>>4950280

>>4950549

>>4950649
I... I just uh... oh for fucks sake.

Dunno if he has been mentioned yet but Yatak (?) was a sain at kita this year. I was pissed out of my face and some rat faced creeper was trying to get me to go with him. he came over and walked me to the bar got me a glass of water and told the bar staff to look out for me, he then found my friend kate for me. He was dressed in a suit with a long blonde wig which made it seem even more gentlemanly >//<.
Didn't see him the rest of the con to say thanks u_u.

>>4950649
>>4950570

Samefagging to the max!

>>4950810
If you're on cosplay island, I'm pretty sure he is too, maybe you should send him a message or something?

>>4947037
Kirokitsune (who cosplays with Nocturnal Blossom quite a bit) is a great guy and a good cosplayer. he has done a fantastic Snake from BB.

MangaChild is a top bloke and a great cosplayer.

TheKilling Doll, is a fantastic cosplayer and a lovely guy. He is quite shy.

Xaerael has already been mentioned but I do have the highest respect for him.

Anyone got some lesser known nice people?

bumping for more drama!

>>4951054
Sillabub is nice. Not the best cosplayer ever and she seems a bit quiet and awkward in big groups, but she's pretty friendly. Her character choices are interesting too.

>>4940414
>>4940531

There are also other ones such as his Dalek which (yup, you guessed it) wasn't his: deleted the costume from his account but photos still show up in his old posts.

>>4951316
I like Silantre, she's a great cosplayer and always very friendly to talk to. Also her WoW costumes make me fondly remember all the hours I wasted playing that time vampire!

>>4951538
Yeah, Silantre's craftsmanship is amazing, I so jelly. She's not the same person as Sillabub though (unless I've misunderstood you and you were just adding a name to the list, in which case, sorry!).

Thread is autosageing now, should we start a new one since it seems to be on-topic, or is that just because the dramawhores have gotten bored and left?

bump for more nice people

I like Snap, he is mahhhh favourite cosplayer!

moar of dem newdz plz dewdz!

Bumping from oblivion!

>>4951913

You can't bump the thread, it's in autosage. New thread here: >>4951938

>>4951913
Sage and Bump, what the fuck man?

>>4951977
They used age, not sage. Although age always seemed like a redundant command to me since threads bump when you post in them regardless.
