Girl on the left is looking at girl on the right with scornful eyes.

wow Lex has put on weight

I met the girl on the right in the masquerade que yesterday she was so nice really glad they won

>>5538538
shame the other one wasn't, she's so frosty

i live in nagoya. when is this event? the webpage doesn't say.

>>5538534
Not really, thats just a really unflattering photo, that and she's wearing a muscle suit

>>5538739
I was judging by the face and I can't even tell whats she wearing from this photo

this isn't going to inflate their already huge ego's at all.....

>>5538780
what huge ego's? they worked hard and deserved to win, I don't understand what anyones problem with them is, what have they said to prove they have big ego's, if anything theyve been completely humble and thankful

>>5538758

Looks to me like they're cosplaying from Vampire Hunter D but got the colors completely wrong.

>>5538822
its amano though, everyones going to interpret it differently the designs are different in every drawing. although i did think lex went a bit heavy with the white make up

>>5538807
do you even know them at all? they laugh at other cosplayers behind their backs

>>5538864
do you even know them, doesnt sound like it, i was with them for some of yesterday and neither of them were saying anything about anyone yesterday they were just concentrating on their performance

Congratulations to both of them, they deserved to win, its just a shame everyone who didn't enter or lost will just bitch about them saying they didn't deserve it. cgl/ is just full of jealous bitches unfortunately.

>>5538874
I'm not talking about yesterday specifically but how they are in general

>>5538924
lex can come off a bit cold sometimes but its not on purpose, sands hasn't actually cosplayed or been on the scene that much for 2 years

>>5538864

Unlike you I suppose. You'd NEVER shit talk someone behind their OH WAIT

>>5538983
oh wait, just because you've never heard them doing it, its never happened.

>>5538983
THIS. bitching about someone talking behind someone elses back anonymously on 4chan... speaks for itself really doesn't it

>>5539003

I never said it never happened, I said you were a hypocrite.

This is literally a board for posting shit about other cosplayers behind their backs, anonymously. You post on here, you're no better than any other shit talker (I include myself here)

>>5538877
I'm happy for them and I think they deserved to win. Both of them are really nice and I've not experienced any frostiness from either of them.

>>5539009
oh wow, I've known them for years, you have no idea what you're talking about

Dat ironman.

>>5539034
so you're talking behind their backs anonymously like what you claim they're doing.
try harder next time troll

so are the costumes any good? can't really tell from the photo. also, can someone post a reference photo? I have no idea what I'm looking at.

>>5539068
Their cosplayisland pages, they did Amano versions of Vampire Hunter D

>>5539050
ah so its ok for them to talk crap about people IRL but not to mention that on here, ok anon

>>5539092
wow, still at it, don't think you've quite grasped the irony of your entire complaint yet.
and if someone is talking crap they've got more balls to say it IRL than you do anonymously online

Well done to them both, I really liked watching the progress on their costumes

>>5539081

meh. D looks good, but not accurate. She overlooked a lot of beautiful details. Same can be said for Doris, though hers is even more bland. They're not gonna win anything in the WCS, but they did well by UK standards.

>>5539111
>>5539092

both of you shut up. cosplayers talk shit behind eachothers backs, always. especially the ones who feel they're the best of the bunch. nobody gives a shit if its posted on /cgl/, if they do it via IMs or if they do it IRL. it's equally tasteless. however, nobody cares.

Meh.. I thought some of the other skits were better but their costumes were quite good and they did put effort into it.

I hope they can pull off a better skit in Japan.

>>5539130
>>5539111
touched a nerve did I? go on white knighting them all you like

They were the only group that actually had a theatrical skit, any decent audio and a vague storyline and set so their skit was far superior to everyone else's. it was an easy win

>>5539157
Yes but their actual movement and acting were not as superior as others. You can dress up a shit as much as you like but it was still crap performance wise compared to others.

>>5539173
I thought sands was really expressive, the fight scene was a bit meh but I liked the rest of it

>>5539179
She came on walking like she had a stick up her bum. She reminded me more of a clunky moving zombie, which I suppose suits the way the character was at the time but it was hardly graceful like they seemed to want.

She was a lot better then Lex however in terms acting, I shall give her that.

>>5539193
I thought that was the point, wasn't she meant to be possessed when she came on?

I really liked their skit and costumes, well done them

>>5539201
When you're waving your arms about like she and the slight prancing, I presume it was supposed to look graceful. She didn't look like she was possessed by a Vampire in that sense, but more like she was the walking dead which she was not.

Vampire Hunter D Vamps and girls are supposed to be beautiful and graceful, not clunky as fuck.

No thanks. He sounds retarded. Unlike how he acted on Nico Nico.

Fucking hell this is causing one hell of a shit storm isn't it?
Hardly surprising. Everyone is either saying their win was fixed, or they cheated or it's because of their reputations. Which its not. They deseerved to win. They were better than the other entrants, and the judges who I don't believe knew either of them personally or knew of their "reputations" were impartial.
Geez... I don't get why people are so fucking angry about it. They won. Lets be happy for them and that we have a decent representative at the WCS and move the fuck on shall we?

Sage because people are getting their panties in a twist over nothing and being butthurt about it.

>>5539452
Angry? If anything reaction is subdued, few people whining true but don't try to make it look like a big thing when the announcement was accepted with a bit of barely a whimper. There is only a couple of people posting back and forth.

They were the right winners but big fish on a small pond. People that don't like them are half heartedly stirring, people that do like them wish it was not a cheap victory.

>>5540092

what was the competition like? who participated? Any particularly good costumes?

>>5540188
The costumes were mostly quite average to be honest. Nothing amazingly good, other than Lex and Sands who had really nicely constructed ones. Don't have any photos but there were videos linked in the Hyper Japan thread.

Keep in mind that it's not just their costumes that are judged- skit and folios also count. I've seen WCS competitions won with average costumes but amazing skits and showmanship.

People being bitter and bitchy is why I avoid the fuck out of cosplay communities.

>>5542759
People are just bitchy 'cos they are jealous. I pretty much avoid entering comps these days because I can't be bothered with all the bitching.

I felt Lex and Sands deserved to win. They had the best one overall.

>>5543204
I feel like a lot of it is also due to the fact that the competition was just... Boring. Of course Lex and Sands are good, we all know this.
It's not the fact that they won that's the problem, I almost feel like it's more due to the fact that it was such a cheap win. Saying they "deserved" it feels a bit odd because there was so little competition. They just went there, won, and that was that.
That's no fault of their own obviously, nor is it a criticism. I just think the UK isn't very competitive yet other than on maybe a very local level, and especially around here where we're used to seeing tons of drama from other countries... The UK scene can be a bit bland at times.

Overall I'm pretty disappointed in the comps from HJ this weekend. Very few entrants, despite a few people I didn't recognise at all. It's good to see some people are still willing to try even though we have a few big names that just seem to be all anyone is interested in. However, there were so few entrants that it hardly seemed worth watching.

>>5543285
Totally agree, I was really hoping there'd be at least one other team that gave them some competition. I can't help thinking if it had been at a different event, and possibly if it was being organised by someone other than Emily, there would have been more interest/competition, plus it's the first year for WCS I think once people have a better idea of what's expected/wanted for it more people will go for it

I liked their skit, more interesting than what we normally end up with here, could have done with a little polish but I'm guessing they haven't had that much chance to practice together, looking forward to seeing what they do for japan

>>5543327
The Monster Hunter team surprised me, although they definitely weren't competition. At least they tried to do something new, the others were all quite standard, although I assume since they didn't place others had better costumes up close. Hard to tell on stage.

Definitely the wrong event though. I can see why Emily wants the event, but HJ just doesn't haven't the pull yet to actually bring competitors to it, and they can't rely on the competition to nullify previous bad reputation.

Next year will be interesting, that's for sure.

>>5543339
Oh, and I also really wonder what they'll be doing for WCS finals! I normally never follow it but I'm looking forward to seeing what costumes they pick.

>>5543285
You've raised a very good point. I think a lot of the UK 'big names' as it were are aiming for events like Amecon where the EC is holding its qualies. Not because the WCS doesn't hold any interest for them more because people had already planned ahead. I know one person who would have loved to have gone for WCS but had already planned to enter EC. They didn't want to change their plans as the costume build they are doing is quite time consuming.

I think the Team element for WCS did have probs for a few as most couldn't sort out a partner. Most are used to entering comps on their own.

I think next year will see more taking an interest in the WCS.

I am interested to see what Lex and Sands do choose to do for the final.

>>5543364
I hadn't even thought about EC in relation to WCS, so you're definitely onto something there.

I've said in another thread, but I do feel sorry for ECG. WCS being the first prize has just made it go completely under the radar. No one has even mentioned the solo ECG entries on Sunday yet!

Been in the scene a long time, won a handful of competitions at various UK cons but would only be interested in giving EC a try but not a big fan of the performance side. Only so much one person on stage can do.
Not everyone in this hobby is interested in going to Japan and the drama these things create puts me off.

I'd like to see the skits, does anyone have videos?

>>5543339
I absolutely loved the Monster Hunter team, the weapons just looked really amazing and from what i saw their costumes were well put together though i only saw them from the crowd and not up close. Its just their performance that really bought them down. I think if they'd been able to bump that up a few levels they could of been a serious competition. Does anyone know who those two were? I don't recognize either of them.

>>5543421
their weapons were great but up close their costumes were very poorly made

>>5543389
EC has much less focus on performance but the performance scores can effect the final outcome especially when the other scores are close

>>5543421
I'm fairly sure the monster hunter team were only in for ECG and I think it's the first time they've done anything even vaguely that ambitious, those weapons were fantastic, but it's good to see some "new blood" at least trying and their skit idea was interesting just needed a bit more work

>>5543449
Ah really? That's a shame from afar they looked brilliant. Wish i could of got a closer look.
>>5543454
Oh alright well i think if they keep at in a year or so they could be decent competition. It was brilliant to see some new faces so i really do hope they keep at it.

Definitely better than the contestants USA got this year. Although the D seems like she could have added a bit more detail/elegance to the costume.

>>5543539
Still wondering what you look like, Bunny Mage.It seems no one can supply a picture of your amazing beauty.

>>5543542
It's all for the best. You'd probably fall to your knees and weep from the sheer majesty. Kind of like looking at a unicorn.

>>5543549
Ahaha unicorn. I get it. The idea of you being beautiful is a myth.

Anyone got better pictures of these costumes and any of those talked about in the thread? I couldn't go and I can't seem to find decent pictures of anything! Giving it a few days but since it's not so popular wouldn't be surprised if there isn't much.

>>5543552
Yeah, I'm sure you would call a unicorn fat as well. You are the worst trip on this entire board.

>>5543552
So it's true that you used to go by daralan?

This might sound retarded, but my country doesn't participate in WSC, but I'd really love to compete in, is it allowed to enter in a different country than your own?

>>5543556
Why would I do that?

>>5543562
I don't know who that is.

>>5543571
I don't think so, I think you have to at least be a resident in the country and provide proof of that, sorry anon.

Bunny Mage is athens.
