So, I'm pretty new at cosplaying, and I was wondering how to/what fabric to get my jacket's collar-thing stiff? Pic related. How do

Also, new SNK thread I guess. Previous: >>7029506

Iron-on interfacing.

>> No.7046197

Medium weight interfacing, make sure it's iron on and washable. You should also make sure it's the kind that is still a little flexible and that you can sew through. When you go to your fabric store to get your stuff you can ask someone who works there which one they recommend. And they're called lapels.

We didn't use it on collar or lapels. It was used mainly on the sleeves to keep them straight and flat. And this was on uniforms, not jackets. If it worked on the sleeve of a shirt it should work on other parts and fabrics that are naturally more stiff to begin with.

>> No.7046712

>>7046694
Did you actually construct the garment or something?

Tailoring canvas and interfacing are used in shirt collar and lapel construction and are sandwiched in between the shirting material to give the pieces shape. I think you might be confusing it with something else, or I guess you went to a place that sewed their own shirts?

Obviously interfacing gives the backbone of the shape and stiffness and lasting power of both, which is what I think OP meant.

The author has it planned out, unlike with any of the ones you listed, and refuses to go on Shonen Jump specifically so they aren't rushed and forced to keep making new shitty arcs, but rather stay to what they have planned.
It's probably going to be closer to Death Note. Plenty of good fans for the story, but still weeb bait because of how well-known it is.

This brings up another mystery:

when the fuck did she get them? When she was living with her Japanese mom and Günther Ackerman, all she did was girly stuff like looking at praying mantises, being in the kitchen and embroidery.

And if it was after that, when she started living with The Yeagers (that was about one year IIRC), how come she got ripped and Eren didn't? Did Grisha inject her with a superhuman combat ability serum? If so, why didn't he do the same to Eren? Is he playing favorites? Why didn't he inject the serum to Jean instead?

Before the new episode, her tag was half levihan and half random bitches who just put their hair in a ponytail and claim they're cosplaying her.

Gr, I feel like I'm really late jumping on this bandwagon, but I really want to cosplay either Hanji or the female titan to Katsucon.
I feel like The Awakening is just the perfect spot to take pictures.
That is, if it isn't overrun with brats using it as their playground like it usually is.
I prefer Hanji's character, and I think she'd be better fitting for the Awakening, but hnnngg I really want to challenge myself and try to do the female titan

Oh hey *waves* I'll have Levi for Katsu and can bribe photog friends for crack of fucking dawn pictures.

In other news, ironed my patches to my Levi hoodie, finally. I'll have to stitch it down since it's stretch fabric, but I'm pretty happy with the iron-on adhesive. The reference only has the front patch, but I figured why the hell not. This'll be a late night casual outfit, anyway. Hoodie's super comfy, too.

Also finished cutting and shaping the belts (for now) so I finally started sculpting the harness pieces. I made a plaster wrap of my upper leg and am sculpting directly on top of it to get the curve correct. It's sulfur-free clay with foam and a thumb tack on top. The bevel's not quite there yet, but I'm going to let it solidify a bit before touching it again.

I'm casting in Task 13 resin, which is semi-rigid and impact resistant. Once it's cast, I'm going to dremel in some slots for the belts to sit in snuggly so they don't shift (and possibly rig some elastic in for a tiny bit of flex).

The 3DMG box is going to screw directly into this, so it needs to be pretty sturdy. I've got an internal elastic harness that's going to help hold everything up.

...In theory. A little over 3 weeks to go! Party tiiiiime.

Are you a casual or something? Levi and plenty of others have never had their genders stated, either. Go by official translations-- They give her female pronouns, like they give Levi male ones. She's drawn as a woman with breasts and eyelashes(the eyelashes are important; Eren, Armin, and other male characters don't have them), and the artist has even drawn her in a skirt.

Official translation also translates her name to Zoe Hange. Because, you know. Hange is a goddamn surname. Use the shitty fan translations all you want, but Zoe Hange makes far more sense, and the author's editor has approved the official translations.

That's the problem, hun, my friends who are gonna cosplay SnK are all teensy just like the characters they've chosen so far(one is doing Armin, one is doing Annie, and one is undecided but might do Levi), and they're all within two inches of the height of everyone they've chosen so I tower over them between 4-8 inches. At this rate I might as well give up and do Bert since I like him a lot and they're all going to be puny. Though, I'm just under Marco's height and I do have a rounded face... Could do him if I improve my crossplay makeup skills.

Rico is actually pretty doable and would suit me, though wiki asserts she's even shorter than Levi. Anka is also a character I considered, though having one Stationary Guard would be a little weird.

>>7051439
I'm thinkin. if I'm doing main-ensemble as the group may ask of me, Marco or Bert, since I don't have the proper scaryface to be Ymir and you just need to be bigger than everyone else to be Bert.(though, if we get anime dancing titan between now and the con, painting up a bodysuit would be sorely tempting).


I'm not sure. A big part of why I'm doing this is because I want to make that jacket just to have, and maybe test myself at crafting if I have time(I hope to, because 3DMG pics with The Awakening at Katsucon would be -priceless-). Rico or Anka would be interesting, though.

Ah, I promise to do the hair right if I cosplay Bert! I have noticed that really good wigs are something I don't... see very much with SnK cosplay right now. I mean, their models hardly every change and they aren't CRAZY ANIMU HAIRDOS, so it should be simple to keep straight than Homestuck or a comic costume... But a lot of the Mikasas just look like they're recycling a Rukia wig without tidying it up, and most of the Levi wigs I've seen except Patch Anon's are in kinda sorry shape.

I promise I will do my best so you don't cry!

What is everyone else doing makeup-wise for characters?

I was planning to go for a very natural "barely there" makeup approach since you have to balance the "in the military" aspect with still looking appealing as a cosplayer. Would anyone be willing to share what makeup they used for their character?

I'll be cosplaying as Armin and planned on using foundation, brown eyeliner, and maybe a hint of neutral eyeshadow for some contouring for nose and eye definition. Is there any other product you think I should include for this?

>> No.7052353

>>7052327
>>7052327
Foundation, mascara and blush, of course. Lipstick in a color that's similar to my lips. I'm only using a little bit of eyeliner at the edge of my eye so it just makes my eyelashes seem a little fuller without making it look like I have eyeliner on. A little bit of brown eyeshadow in my crease to give some depth.

Here you go.

>>7052327
For my crossplay I used concealer, foundation, brown liner, a lighter brown liner, black liquid eyeliner that was thinly applied to reshape my eyes (that was then taken down in intensity by blending eyeshadow over it), bronzer and some eyeshadow for contouring.

I find that mineral powder foundation covers my lips without looking like shit or getting cakey like concealers. I went heavier on eye makeup than I usually do for males because Levi... but it really depends on the character, and since you're doing Armin, black liner may look like too much.

There really aren't exact ways to do it, since different faces, etc, but look at what other cosplayers have done, take notes on what you like and just keep doing test runs until it looks good on camera and in person.

>>7050899
Also, I forgot to mention you may want to stay on the heavier side of makeup because I noticed that even though I went rather heavy on shadow and liner, it looks like I wasn't wearing much in photos and my eyebrows didn't show the upward curve on the inside as much as I thought it would. Aside from the lower/thicker eyebrows, try bringing a bit of the countouring from the eyes down the sides of your nose and highlighting the bridge.

This is the first pair I've made, and I'd like to hear some suggestions for improvement! I know the photo quality is shitty, can't really do anything about that.

I think your frames are looking okay. What did you use to construct them? My biggest issue with attempting the goggles was getting the straps done, really.

I'm probably going to have to figure out a good way to double up my vinyl without tubing it and then using some sort of wire frame to keep the straps in place since they kind of fall in really unrealistic ways.

Yeah, natural lighting was the bane of my fucking existence, I'm definitely going heavier if I fix up my costume/remake my 3dmg for it. If you go lighter on makeup, you'll look closer to the anime and if you go heavier, you'll look closer to the manga- at least, that's how I feel on that matter.

Q-quit making me have a girl crush on you though... it makes me feel bad when I only reply with creepy things.

>>7052509
That's actually a really good idea, I may have to try that out too. Hairpins might be counterproductive for me, since I don't like to keep even my glasses on when I need to wear glasses. I was thinking like something like really thick interfacing or wire and then making the straps detachable so I don't die from trying to get it over my wig.

Do you even read the manga?

Anyways, I have a question about a lot of the Sasha wigs I've been seeing. Most of the Chinese/tabao wigs are going for a look that is like the picture attached, but, it does not seem to be actually tied into a ponytail, just in a style that mimics a ponytail wig with a clip-on. I know that most ponytail wigs have issues with stretch/fit. My head circumference is 22 inches, do you think ordering one of these would be risky? I'd go for a Jeannie from Arda, but, I've had absolutely terrible luck with that style in the past. Thanks.

I ordered one and it was too big for me (I figured it would be, anyway and planned to modify it), but since I ended up not liking the color, I didn't bother sewing up the cap to fit me.

I ended up going with my backup taobao reseller one. Basically the same thing, but less fibers to pull it off of your head with its weight and the top half is pulled into a ponytail while the bottom hangs down to cover your hairline. You can tie the top half up to generally not show the wig wefts, but even if you don't, the clip on ponytail pretty much covers the empty spot anyway.

Not sure if the style would work as well for Sasha as it did Hanji, though. Just my personal experience if it helps you any.

Depends how close people will be taking pictures of you.

I will ask here. I absolutely love the manga/Anime and I really want to cosplay from it, but I am over weight enough I don't feel confident cosplaying a specific character. Would it be a horrible thing for me to cosplay a random Garrison corps? I've noticed in the manga some of them were a bit bigger (like due to sitting around drinking and eating since a titan hadn't attacked in 100 years). I'm still a bit conflicted on it all though, I feel I should cosplay whomever I want, but at the same time I feel everyone is too fit for my body type.

>thinking that that is a declaration of love

Now imagine if the genders were revered.

Christopher leaves his old life & all of humanity behind so that he can follow Ymir, his only true friend, who accepted him despite being a pompous noble with a martyr complex, and helped him get over it with his down-to-Earth streetwise and who's now being persecuted / judged because he's different from the rest. He remains loyal to his underprivileged comrade instead of being loyal to some meaningless mass of people that never really mattered to him.

Besides, it's not like it's gay or anything, he knows there's still two chicks with the outcasts anyway (Bertholdina and Reinnie), though they're kind of tall and hairy for his tastes, but when worse comes to worst...

And, on the other hand, Ymir often told Christopher to marry him / that he wants to fuck him in the ass / etc. But this doesn't necessarily mean he's gay, it's just an example of his Gay Bravado / him being the sassy black man...

TL;DR - If they were both male, only fujoshis would see their comradeship and esprit de corps as a blooming buttsex relationship.

In other words, Tumblr/shipfags should check their own privilege for being so prejudiced towards their relationship just because Christa and Ymir are women. Why couldn't women be bros with each other? Why do they have to bend to your sexual lesbian fantasies?

Because he's assuming I wouldn't feel the same way if the genders were reversed, and then I couldn't make sense of the rest of what he was saying. Only the first couple of sentences made much sense, then the rambling started.

He said that if Christa and Ymir both had a cock people wouldn't be as prone to assume that they're faggots just because they stick together like true bros.

The joke is that women IRL can't actually be bros to each other.

You really must be a girl.

I think they're potentially into each other because of how intensely they care for each other, and the way they care for each other. Lovers follow each other no matter what, friends try and push each other onto the right path. That's just generalizing, though.

We make quite a large number of rude and crass jokes. We're guys, it's what we do. We even jokingly threaten each other and make dubious claims of insinuating intercourse towards their sisters and mothers.

Because straight ones will portray it in a hilarious or joking tone in the question or time it with the moment.

Like teasing your friend Fred with long hair with a line like "Man i don't know about you, but a couple of more drinks and i reckon Fred's looking mighty appealing." Which in itself is a far cry from "Man i want to fuck Fred in the ass."

Have been rowing last weekend, so luckily my skin has darkened (pic is way older I just needed to bring up the courage to post it here d'urr) and I think it fits the character enough.

Hey I'm totally new to cosplay and stupid question but how would one do Annie's titan form buy not being naked? I mean all I can think of is getting skin coloured underwear/bra and colouring over it but I'm not sure if that would look slightly slutty and naff...

Also we can have logical and philosophical conversations about the dumbest shit.

One time my friends and I had an 8 hour discussion on whether we would accept having a super power that granted us the ability to talk through our butt. Obvious jokes about talking shit aside, the clause was that you could still talk through your mouth normally and eat, digest and poop normally. There was no downside whatsoever but this is the only power you will be offered and you had complete control over the ability.

It ranged from basic stuff like practical survival use to potential application in future with bionics and prosthetic limbs.

There should be a strap that goes under your foot that keeps them in the boots...
