not really, as i'm a geologist.....don't do the live stuff so much. although keeping a cuttlefish as a pet is probably not the greatest idea....you'd need a fucking huge saltwater tank to put it in.

>>2724299

That's true. But still, I WANT ONE. They're as smart as dogs, apparently.

Wow, yeah, your school is nothing like mine then, and I go to a large state school. I've never had a class that didn't take attendance, at least in some form or another. Even my general ed math class required us to punch in a random set of numbers that were assigned to us each day with these registered devices we had to prove we were in class. If not regular attendance, the big lecture professors would at least have unannounced quizzes every so often for points, so if you didn't go but once a week, chances are you would have been screwed.

And sorry, I meant to say that GPA's count for employers, so if your grades suck your potential employers will know, and care, so you have to make an effort. (Again, unlike Japan.)

Weird. I guess this is what I like about going to a community college. Small classrooms and basically the same shit (At least your undergrad) as a regular university since professors moonlight there for extra cash. Actually I'm willing to bet even my college classes that are more intense have people who do more than reg university students because most of them have to pay their way there and can't afford to fuck around (And they're older too).

Japanese universities for the most part are pretty shit-tier. To be honest professors don't want to demand a scroll out of you because they have too much shit to do. It only matters in your major classes.

I think the difference is that in America, if a college doesn't make you do anything, it's a bad school. In Japan, if a college doesn't make you do anything, that's the standard.

God, so cool ;w;

Go back to bed Saku

I don't think these were shot in Japan. I think it was Malaysia or Singapore or something. They were all posted on LJ at some point.

>>2721838
LOL I love the pose. That one I will have to keep in mind.

its malaysia.
and they are malaysians. =)

> I'm looking to do Saber at some point
i'd love to do her

If you want to go real fancy, build a vacuum former and make it from plastic like stormtrooper armor.

>>2723159
You can do curvy pieces with it.

Her armor is made of craft foam.

Same cosplayer, Saber Lily costume. Even curvier armor, also made of craft foam and fabric.

It's not badly shaped, but she needed to back the foam or something. It looks too soft and sort of ripples in places.
If you do use foam, back it with something or use thicker stuff. You can get a solid look from foam, but you need to reinforce it for something like this or face having it look floppy.
Vacuum forming or fiberglass are still probably your best bet for getting amazing results, though. If you are looking for something other than craft foam, it's a sliding scale of expense. The nicer you want it to look, the more cost, time, and skill are involved, obviously.
Are you capable of vacuum forming/fiberglassing something? If the answer is no, you need to go back to the foam tutorials. My guess is if you are coming to /cgl/ for advice you should go with the easier route. Someone at a skill level for those other methods usually don't need to start threads about how to do things, so either pick an easier costume or settle for foam.

Aw, this warms my heart cgl :) I've been one since middle school. Ended up winning critics choice at state competition my senior year of highschool. I'm now in college chasing the dream.... and being up at ungodly hours with all of you classy faggots.

Tech here- Currently LD for a local professional Theatre Company. But I do everything else as well : /

On the side I work for a production company that runs a few of the local Cons. Nothing like getting in free!

I spent too much time in high school on art to have time for theater, other than painting sets from time to time. But with cosplay, writing and performing skits, I've loved theater more and more. I'm currently writing a musical (among other things).

Hey thanks, I will say for your reel I really like what I heard but I think you can tighten up the pacing a tad bit. According to Tony Oliver a reel should have 10 to 15 voices in it and catch the listener's attention within the first 30 to 45 seconds. I feel that some of the lines can be a tad shortened to allow for more characters to poke through the wood work

>>2724276
Thanks! I really appreciate the critique. It's almost time for my spring reel, so I'll keep those things in mind while making it! :D

It was a great con despite the half shitty lolita panel and the fucking ridiculous dealer's room line (it is a maze, a MAZE), so for a free con, its 9/10 from me :)

any good panels?

>>2723378
I thought the prop panel was great. I felt like I learned a lot. I just wish they had handouts with all the supplies they went over. It was hard trying to take notes on my cell. Felt like I missed a lot

>>2723378
The steampunk panel was good. They were really informative and gave lots of perspectives on steampunk as a whole. It was interesting hearing all their ideas on it.

>>2723562
I'll make sure to do that next time. Was the first panel I'd ever done, so a lot of that was just off-the-cuff and I really had no idea what I was going to say.

Samples are a good idea. Kinda hard to tell someone the differences between stuff like styrene and sintra, and some spare scrap pieces would help that.

Chirumiru

So creepy

kawaiiiiiiiiiiii

>>2723957
look at that baka

Who is this guy aniway?

GET DOWN!

WHAT THE FUCK. Do you have fucking eyes? Masa's room is a shithole where he takes pics of himself that are way too big.

>>2724207

In preparation for Sakura-con all I can say is...
High school girls! 1, 2, 3! High School Girls! All for me!
