>meats

god damn it I meant to say 'meets'

Still wondering what would be a good material for an inflatable Onion San costum.

>>8995312
I went to the beef mince a couple months ago, though I'm regretting not having gone to the boerewors instead.
At least the upcoming pork steak looks good.

>>8995407
Perhaps some kind of latex? You'd need a material that the air wont pass through if its going to be inflatable.

>>8995312
Dear God we're using MY old Papyrus from Comikaze as the thumbnail.Pulled from Tumblr too.
If only it was my slightly update Paps from ALA

Anyways, I probably got two more undertales in me before the end of the year until I clock out from it

>>8995447
Airtight and light.
Also, cheap.
Not sure if latex meets those requirements, looks like the arms would weigh 2-3kg each, and the main body would be 3kg.

>>8995312
>Any one wearing undertale to up coming cons? ANy one been to any meats yet?

I'll be taking Sans to A-kon in a few weeks. And not really a meet, but I went to a few smaller cons in the area and well...expecting similar experience in terms of maturity there. Lots of screaming and beating each other with flowers and fake knives. Hopefully a larger con will bring out some of the better cosplayers though.

>>8995312
>Any one wearing undertale to up coming cons?
Waiting on my kaiborg studios sans mask to come in, gotta sand and paint it, then install some eyelights. If all that pans out properly I'll be bringing sans to ctcon, cuz I'll be damned if I'm ever gonna try and wear this monstrosity again

>>8995568
Inflatable latex costumes are exactly what you're looking for. There's a reason why there's a whole industry for inflatable latex costumes.

>>8995748
What's the maths behind them though?
Like, how can I calculate how big a tentacle can stay upright with a given shape, weight per m^2, and pump pressure?
Because usually those costumes are tiny.

>Any one wearing undertale to up coming cons?
I'm hoping to bring Muffet to AX if I can finish her/if not I'll most likely cosplay from osomatsu-san and try to get pics of all the good undertale cosplays

As far as meetups go, I went to the ALA one and it was quite an experience, a lot of the loud and obnoxious people kinda turned me away from attending another one especially at a big con like AX.

Is anyone going to wear Undertale to AX?

>>8995775
I might bring my Frisk to AX, I think my a few of my friend are bringing theirs too. Dunno if we'll be Frisk Tori Asriel and Chara or Frisk Tori MTT and Napstablook. Time will tell I guess.

>>8995312
I'm bringing Alphys to ACEN and maybe Colossal or Youmacon.

Even though it's an AU >>8993669 is one of the better constructed Sans out there, head and outfit. Definitely less nightmare inducing than >>8995641.

On an AU note, since there's so damn many of them:
>What do you think about AU cosplay?
>Is there an AU you would cosplay from?

>>8995823
AU cosplay is fine. The only problem is AU individuals that shove it in their face that they are unique because they are cosplaying an AU and "how dare you not keep up with all of them are you even a fan?" Also, if it's a gathering, they really should wait for an "AU" shot. If the current shot is Sans, 14 different kinds of Sans kind of ruins the shot.

If I was going to cosplay one, Undersail Mettaton EX is really cute. It's just regular MTT but with fancier shoes and shoulders, as well as a captain's hat.

>>8995823
A friend and I are planning on doing Frisk and Gaster Sans cosplays from the Echotale AU. I'm usually not one for AUs, but I'm always a slut for Gaster Sans, so...

>>8995312
I'm bringing my EX to San Japan and possibly Comicpalooza as a test drive.

I'd post progress or something to keep the thread alive but I don't think I have anything really noteworthy to show off. I'm the MTT making the armor that wraps around the torso, and so far it's going pretty well.

>>8995775
I think a friend of mine is taking her Asriel mascot suit to AX?

>>8995916
god damn, this shit looks absolutely incoherent

>>8995756
I'm not going to do your research for you anon. Because I have no desire to do a costume like that, it doesn't behoove me in any way to do the math for you. You figure it out.

>>8995916
I haven't played Undertale and know nothing about the fandom

Is this a fanart/fanfic and are people cosplaying from fanart/fanfics of Undertale?

>>8996409
Yeah. I've seen a few people cosplay from this one AU where all the monsters are cartoonishly evil and they're all edgy looking. I forget what it's called.

>>8996409
That comic is a fan AU, yes.

>>8996471
That one's Underfell which is, unfortunately, the most popular AU.

>>8996471
I never got what the appeal of Underfell was. I always thought that's what Undertale was specifically written to to be the opposite of.

>>8996553
grimdark edgy shit is always popular with teens and there's a LOT of those on tumblr

>>8996553
That's the appeal, I've gathered.
It's /because/ it doesn't fit that makes it appealing.

>>8996471
>>8996493
>>8996553
>>8996556
>>8996558

Underfell is probably the worst AU, but it produced one of my favorite terabad fan web comics. It's like re living mid 2000's insane mary sue fan fiction phase.

>>8996577
Oh god the coloured words don't even fit in the bubbles

>>8996577
Yeah it's funny as hell if you don't take it seriously.

>>8996577
I'm not your soulmate buddy

>>8995823
Yeah the latex mask is horrifying and so many people got their hands on it while it was still on etsy. Lucky for me the update is the kaiborg studio helmet came in so I have plenty of time to prep it for ctcon, gotta dremel out the eyes so I can put eyelights in and...yknow...actually see out of it. But holy shit this company knows how to sculpt

Was stopping by an old cos com thread while looking something up when I saw this advertised in the margins.

Hoo boy, mass produced Undertale cosplay is now a go (hope some one tells Toby about it)

>>8997188
Aliexpress has got you covered for all your stolen fan art t-shirt needs!

>>8997069
how expensive was it

>>8997188
I saw that too, I love the pillow-face Sans.

>>8997232
I think remembering the raw cast was about $170? Anon who actually bought it can correct me if that's off.

Bump

Is anyone working on anything?

>>8999593
yeah, YOUR MOM

>>8999605
I hope she had a happy Mother's Day, then

>>8997188
... wow that's. higher quality than i was expecting. better than most mettatons but i guess that's not saying much.

>>8995312
I'll be going to Colossalcon as undyne but i'm really afraid to see what sort of comments ill get on her undying armor. I'm taking a Super Anime style armor route because she's so obsessed with anime, so it's a bit less.... functional than your usual armor, if you catch my drift. but im also bringing her default.

>>8999593
Knitting some more chara sweaters, going to get some stuff to resin cast some hearts tomorrow.

So much knitting, much hand cramp.

>>8999720
I know thats what I thought. I guess our expectation of quality for MTT cosplay is pretty low now.

>>8997188
While I agree on Toby's stance for "no mass produced stuff" like this I think the
"no one is allowed to sell clothes at all" rule is just dumb. I'd be fine with it if they had more than 6 fucking shirts on fangamer but no, thats what you get, 6 shirts.
what if I want a skirt? a dress, a jacket?
What If I've made some clothes myself?
would I be in trouble for selling the 3 I made because I know someone else would appreciate it?

>>8999738
I thought it was just mass produced stuff he was against

>>8999743
It is.
The game is super personal to him and he feels like mass-produced stuff takes that quality out.

>>8999738
You'd be allowed to make things yourself.

>>8999732
Another knitter! I love seeing you guys in these threads.

Cross-posting from the Momocon thread. Drag makeup for MTT might be hit or miss for gulls, but I figured that the clean-looking body suit would be appreciated here.

>>8999836
Not a bad take on MTT. I dont actually hate the make up. Mettaton has reminded me of a drag queen in how he performs and the sheer over the topness of him all.

Looking to make some armsocks for Undyne. Which blue would be best to go on from WeLoveColors? I'm leaning towards Medium Blue but would love a second opinion or two! Pic related color ref for convenience, link below for the tights.

welovecolors (dot com) (slash) Shop (slash) NylonOpaqueTights (dot) htm

And if I were to put nails on to make it look a little more realistic, what color should I go with?

Thanks!

>>8999846
I'd give her red nails to be honest, not like nicely pointed or anything. Or you could go with a kind of more grimier nail (yellow ish) look, up to you but best of luck! I think the Medium Blue looks pretty good btw.

>>8999846
I'd just go with blue, just like actual nails are just skin-tone with translucent material over it. Undyne isn't the type to have primly made up nails, so I'd shy away from painting and overly shape them, if that makes sense? I think just gluing the nails to the sock would create the effect I think of.

>>8999846
>>8999971
Forgot to add, Medium Blue seems the best match for me, too. It's not 100% match to the source, but from those options it's closest.

Oh I lIke this

It's sp cool

Like really cool

I would say it's the story of my life

So fucking great

I had no training

>>8999743
He made a tumblr post on "approved" merchandise he said fans could sell and he said clothes were a no go since he wants to support his friends on fangamer.

>>8999836
Jesus, his eyelid doesn't even look like that
How do you drag makeup and not contour, come the fuck on.

>>9000103
Found this progress pic on Instagram. The more I see bad NEOs, the more I get the desire to cosplay him, if only to just do it RIGHT.

>>9000333
That's pretty wrinkly, wow.

>>8997232
>>8997350
The down payment was 130, the final cost for the raw cast ended up being a little over 200 because they split the cost of the mould among the commissioners, of which there were like three or four including me I think. 200 was way more affordable than the finished product which woulda been well over 1500 bucks. I wish I had that kind of money, the finished mask had changable LED screens for the eyes.

>>9000390
>200 bucks for a mold

what the actual fuck

>>8995312
I'm cosplaying Undying to a London con this month, probably won't cosplay from Undertale again unless I wanted to try out Pacifist route Undyne?

>>9000481
That's not that much? A lot of work crawls into them, even as a raw cast. Like buy-anon said, it could have been a shitload more.

>>8999976
>>8999981
>>8999983
>>8999984
>>8999985
>>8999988

>>8999836
the actual costume looks pretty damn good but jesus fuck that makeup needs to go

>>9000333
That doesn't look like it'd even fit a human torso

Yeah I'm the same way. I have enough foam leftover from EX to do NEO if I really wanted to.

>>9000481
It wasnt 200 for the mold it was 200 for the raw cast /and/ my share of the price of the mold

>>8999654
Holding your mom's hand and giving her flowers fills me with determination.

>>8995641
speaking of those horrifying latex masks has anybody seen the one they made of Papyrus? Fuckin nightmare inducing, it looks like something out of beetlejuice

I'll be hitting up MCM London in two weeks as Toriel .. pretty nervous about it.

>>9000925
Guy or girl?
Would be odd doing it as a guy if it was a humanised cosplay, but I'd hug whatever Toriel came my way <3

>>9000984
I'm a girl, Also it's " semi" humanized I'm using Goat nose prosthetic from North fur FX

>>9000920
do you want bad undertale creepypasta? because this is how you get bad undertale creepypasta.

>>9001011
Reminds me of Noseybonk... or at least in the same terrifying category as it

>>9000925
hem your sleeves and the shoulders of the tunic.

>>9001050
I have done it's a very poor picture but I have hemmed everything the sleeve however have SINCE been hemmed also my tailor dummy is set at the smallest in the shoulders and I'm long in the shoulder department.

>>9001050
No, wait they are hemmed! i hemmed them VERY close to the edge bu they are double hemmed and pressed in this picture

>>9001014
what the fuck is noseybonk, and should I dare google that shit at 1:30 am?

>>9001102
...I've made a terrible mistake.

>>9001105

Welcome to BBC kids shows of the 70s

>>9001105
Not even BBC's most horrid children's show. Never look up Mr. Blobby, that pink fucker scared the shit out of me as a kid.

>>9001123
Nah I hated Fireman Sam used to terrify me as a child

Making a last min Frisk cosplay for Acen, I just ordered all the things I'll be needing to make it. Fortunately it does not seem too complicated to make with thw time I have before the con, so, I was wondering. Is there anything I should keep in mind when cosplaying Frisk? Is there anything you hate seeing? Like seeing? Anything I should I do for make up beyond foundation, some blush, and natural brows? :O I'm curious what people with more experience than me think as this will be my first cosplay ever.

>>9001773
I personally don't like when Frisk cosplayers have huge smiles. Probably rude to say but it doesn't fit.

>>9001773
some general tips:
wear a good wig
bring a prop, maybe (any of frisk's weapons would work)
wear some eyeliner/mascara, it'll help bring your eyes out
frisk-specific tips:
make sure the lines on your sweater are neat if painted on or alternatively just make sure they... look nice? i guess

that's all i can think of. i'm going to acen too, albeit not in any ut cosplay. i hope you have fun, anon!

Woo, super happy the rest of my Alphys shit got here as well as the last of my items for Sans. Hopefully I can make the mask quickly without it looking like shit.

>>8999732
Man I need to learn to knitt.... I only know how to finger knitt which is basically useless unless you need to make a decent scarf real quick.

>>9000920
Reminds me of that creepypasta Candle Cove... The Skin taker.

also repost pic since this still makes me laugh.

>>9001801
>>9001810

Thanks to both of you! I did think about props. I thought I'd do a stick and bandaid on one day, and a tutu and ballet slippers the next. And yeah, I agree about not having a big smile...Frisk's lil sprite has a rather stoic expression.

If I remember I'll post my progress in this thread maybe...or maybe just the progress thread!

>>9001963
is pic you, anon? i'm really hoping it's not, because that's atrocious.

>>9002044
Oh anon...

>>9001963
Were you the anon asking about gijinka stuff in the other thread? Regardless, post pics when you're done! Alphys doesn't get enough love.

>>9001773
Cool, I'll see you at ACen! I'll be a mascot Alphys.

>>9002044
God no, I have some skill when it comes to facepaint.

>>9002512
Yup, that was me! Uhm, I'll try to I'm not super confident to self post here since by 4chan standards I'm a 'fatty-chan' But if anything I'll post pics of the tail and the cosplay (without me in it )

>>9003113
Honestly if you're cosplaying Alphys, being a fatty would be a good thing.

Your call, though!

>>9003113
>>9003120
Yeah don't worry, I also selfposted in an earlier thread because Alphys is a tiny fatty lizard anyways, so if anyone calls you out on that it's nonsense.

Starting to work on the wig for Asriel. I like how my ears turned out, and I'm starting to work on figuring out how to attach the horns to the wig. I was thinking about attaching them to a headband kept on the inside of the wig, but idk what I can put in/around the horns to keep 'em stable.

At the moment, I've got some screws going up into the horns (which are filled with an expanding foam) but they're not staying. Should I try filling the horns with something else (and digging out a little bit of the foam perhaps?)

Perhaps a homestuck can help me with this?

>>9003201
I'd use a paperclay or something for that part of the horns. I think it's what Homestucks use anyway?

Just about finished with the shoulder armour. Gonna plastidip them tomorrow and hopefully finish them up all the way. Will post pics when I'm finished.

>>9003201
When I had to attach things to other things I used the same method as you, but placed some of those plugs you stick into a wall into the foam, with some contact glue/super glue that would stay up all day. Depending on the size of the horns you'll need 2 screws/plugs.

Sorry if you did this, from what you said I assume you just used foam and a screw.

>>9003848
Looks nice, anon!

Nearly done working on my Alphys tail, super happy with how it came out for being my first time using a sewing machine. Still need to sew on the elastic belt loops then need to go work on the arm socks. Wish me luck gulls.

>>9003848
Finished plastidipping, and I'm filling in the hearts now. They look a bit like stained glass, and I love it!

Also, would it behoove me to weather this some, or should I just leave the white well enough alone?

>>9004862
The weathering might distract from how wonk some of the lines look

>>9004885
I was thinking that myself. On the other hand it might just call more attention to it...

>>9004217
I'd suggest smoothing the stuffing out more; it looks lumpy. You could make an inner "skin" for the tail and then stuff it. I've seen a brony artist who made a 4ft tall plush, and she described doing that to stuff it so it wouldn't warp the fabric or come out lumpy.

Body of the sweater is done.

The un-determined Asgore from the previous thread.
Kinda started working on the armor, the logistic part is always the more difficult for me, I'm not very experienced so I have to figure out things by doing try and repeat until I got it. Hope to finish the shoulders base during the day...I still got 4 months to work on it, but the stuff to work on are many!
Anyway, thanks for everyone who cheered me up before
So...yeah

>>9005098
Holy shit, anon. This looks amazing!

>>9005598
Thanks anon. I'm excited to finish it soon. Started the sleeves tonight (which is the damned hardest part for me)

So, I just finished my Sans cosplay. It looks like fucking trash, but to be fair, this was my very first time doing something like this, so I'm not too mad at the turnout. Also I'm sorry if this is turned sideways at all.

>>9006839
not too shabby anon! i'd suggest wearing a turtleneck shirt under the t-shirt or something to easier hide your neck. Good job either way!

I tried draping a bedsheet over an umbrella hat initially, but it wasn't even so I ended up getting a tablecloth today and it is A+ but it is heavier than I anticipated, so I need to ditch the umbrella hat and order something sturdier. I'd have to hold it, but I think I will try a wind-resistant umbrella.
Does anyone have any suggestions for eye holes? This thing has no visibility. I've seen some Blookys that use white mesh for the inner eye but it looks a bit too spooky IMO.

>>9007277
I would suggest getting this style of dome umbrella so you have less of an obvious drop-off effect with the cloth. This one is from target.

>>9007425
Also meant to say the hat is really cute!

>>9000333
oh my god that's literally made of duct tape
how low has this world sunk

>>9007429

Thank you!! It's funny that you mention that umbrella because that's precisely the one I'm planning to pick up from the local Target tomorrow after work. I also ordered a similar one off of Amazon that seemed to have good reviews, so I will compare the two and see which one will hold up better with the heavy cloth.

>>8995312
i'll be wearing mettaton to Anime North with a pretty decent sized group, but lord i'm more than a little afraid to see what the photoshoot/meetup will be like

Any good burgerpants cosplays?

>>9007672
I just have this one pic of my favourite BP. I think I've posted it before a few threads ago?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTFxrydi_0I take a look at this cringe my dudes

>>9007445
I have the target one, they're sturdy as fuck.

>>9007748
Noice

Fuck off with this cancer fuck you all

>>9008022
No fuk u

>>9008022

>>9007450
I did this at anime boston. Unsealed facepaint left and right. I would avoid at all costs if you can

My friend is almost finished 3D printing the delta rune for the front of my Asriel robe. I'm SO excited, y'all!

>>9009840
dang, that looks cool!

>>9001773
Frisk sweatshirt finally arrived. Got it all taped up! About to paint...

>>9009933
goodluck anon
slow and steady

>>9009933
Gonna let that dry and get some housework done. I'll post again when it's all finished, front and back!

>>9009939
Thanks! haha

>>9009981
... did you put a piece of cardboard in there or is the sweater thick enough that it won't bleed?

>>9010056
!!!

I did not put cardboard underneath! There are a couple spots on the inside where it bled through...but it didn't make it to the other side. Should I be worried? I don't really have a piece of cardboard that's big enough at the moment...maybe a cut ip cereal box will do the trick?

>>9010142
As long as it unsticks, you'll be fine.
The cereal box should be fine when doing the back

>>9010142
well since you'll paint the back stripes too it's not as big of a deal. Also Magazines work as a blocker, or even just a few sheets of paper, paper may stick but with a quick washing it's gone. Better to line with something than nothing.

ended up with an extra Chara locket after making this one for our group's Chara. How much do you think I could sell it for? (fwiw, the locket proper is brass)

>>9010659
idk like
5 bucks

>>9010659
Does it have anything in it? Or is it just an empty locket? A tenner for an empty one, max. If you can pander to UT you're more likely to sell it, you know, make it say BFFs if "best friends forever" doesn't fit.

>>9010956
I could put the 'Bests Friends Forever' inside it no problem.

Thanks y'all

>>9005089
Fuck I'm just seeing this. I'll try to smooth it out best I can since I already sewed it shut.

>>9011607
What fabric is the tail? I made my Alphys with fleece, which is fairly forgiving. Anyway, just kind of... roll around the tail between your hands like a big-ass sausage until as smooth as possible.

Although, from the picture, I presume it's more of a tights/pantyhose material, which is a lot less forgiving in terms of showing bumps.

>>9007277
Something I'm doing for my Napstablook
Get some overhead transparencies, and this magic bottle called VHT Nightshades
When you spray it on it will blacken the plastic and allow you to see through it, but everyone else won't be able to see in.

Or just get some black nylon and to stretch across the eyes.

Where would be a good place to purchase fur? I've been meaning to for the longest so I can work on Asgore, but I kept getting distracted. Everything else wouldn't be much of a problem for me. I'm debating about going for just a prosthetic on the face, and a light amount of fur covering everything else that would be seen, body wise.

>>9000920
This is paperclay

>>9012032
yes that is, but >>9000920 is rubber mask latex.

>>9011889
I used acetate sheets with window tint here, it's also very practical

I swear to god I'm about to make a paper plate sans mask since doing the paper mache shit for an hour is getting to me.

>>9011867
I used fleece as well actually. My phone cam is basically a potato though so I guess it's hard to tell.

Ok, I'll give that a try, thanks anon!

>>8995487
>>8995312
the chest literally looks like one large, saggy boobloaf

>>9011963
I mean most joanns sell faux fur by the yard. They also have the lil craft fur scraps but those are pretty limiting. I tried making my asriel ears outta that and it didn't exactly go well, ended up scrapping them and making them outta fleece.

>>9012032
That looks pretty good, but we weren't shittalking paperclay we were shittalking latex rubber masks

Acen is nigh. Are you all ready to see hall shots of the queen?

>>9012899
Good lord that makeup looks like Photoshop
And doesn't fit Toriel in the slightest

>>9012899
hahaha of COURSE she has a fucking nose ring holy shit
ALSO TWO TONE LIPS ON TORIEL reeeee

>>9012899
Whoops. deleted file so i don't get banned for posting her ig name

>>9012899
I had no idea she was coming to Acen.
My body is so ready.

>>9012908
what happened to that walrus prosthetic she was using

>>9013223
Didn't give her that dainty deer nose that she wanted, I guess

>>9012908
How is somebody gonna straightfaced make toriel look like a goddamned edgy pinup or someshit? She's a mother for christssake.

The septim I could forgive I guess, those aren't easily taken out, but you can also get an easily hide-able one. However, the two tone full lips and thick ass eyeliner? It's like if Tori was trying to be a drag queen.

>>9012908
>>9013548

Like it's clean makeup (as far as I can tell, if it ain't shoop'd to shit) but it's just so wrong for the character, jesus

>>9012899
>going to acen
damn I can't wait to spot this mess shuffling around this weekend

>>9012032
>the running in the spandex
rip

>>9012908
Nose ring makes her look like a bull

found this gem on facebook

>>9014029

ngl this would be cute without the mask

>>9014044
are you blind? That dress is far from flattering on her.

>>9014029
I really wanted to give her concrit when I saw this on FB. She needs to drop the waist a bit and raise the petticoat at the minimum. It would make a huge difference.

>>9014073
I completely agree! A red waist belt might also be helpful too, and help take the waist in some?

Personally, I might also want to see that petti in blue, to match the heart on the dress a bit more, but that's just my personal taste.

>>9012899
So what is everyone going to be cosplaying as?

>>9014249
>body: BIG
no fuckin surprises there

>>9014260

>>9014261

>>9014249
Wtf
Really, wtf
Are this things common?

>>9014249
There was a listing like this for a convention back in February too.
I'm not sure if anything came of it.

>>9012908
Saw her on her way to the dealer hall. The nose ring is more distracting in person. :(

>>9007748
why does everyone make burgerpants have bright orange or dark brown ears he is basically a peach colour in game.

>>9014725
How shoddy did the rest look?

>>9014734
I see him as an orangey brown? Eh.

>>9014734
I think of it as a pale burnt orange sort of color.

>>9014734
I see at as an orangey brown too

>>9014725
Was her make up as neat in person? Really gonna laugh if it's shoop.

>>9009981
>>9009933
Forgot to post the rest of my progress, but here it is! If you see me at ACen come say hi or smth!

>>9014796
And one more.

>>9014796
>>9014799
cute!

>>9014796
>>9014799
Your stripes look VERY clean anon, good job. Not a fan of fabric paint because usually it runs under the tape and looks awful but you managed to avoid that.

>>9015000
>runs under the tape and looks awful
Not them (obv) but is there any way to prevent that?

>>9015009
Be careful? Kek I don't know, which is why I avoid fabric paint like the plague. Hoping FriskAnon might share their secrets.

Spotted

>>9015146
so terrible...

>>9015146
Honestly if I was her, I'd just pull it off as some "Mettaton is Toriel" AU because that's getting to be how it looks with that makeup.

>>9015146
>those lips
>that tiara
>that hoops visible through the dress that clearly needs a petti over it
>that hoop skirt poking out underneath the dress

the whole thing is a train wreck, but good lord.

>>9015146
What's with the pose?
It has nothing of Toriel..

>>9015146
Good lord, she doesn't even look like Toriel anymore.

>>9015009
freezer paper works better, and doing light layers of paint instead of a heavy glob. 5 light layers is better than 2 heavy ones

>>9015146
oh god the unfinished lace area on the selves too.

>>9014802
>>9015000
Thanks! The stripes definitely weren't perfect at first. Like you said, some got under the tape in a few places. I think it's bc I used waaayyy too much paint. The blue of the shirt kept showing through and I just kept painting.

Anyway, I guess I didn't heat bond it successfully enough bc it faded in the wash. So I decided to repaint, and retaped the lines slightly above to cover the errors. I didn't use as much paint that time bc the blue didn't have to be covered as much. Agree with >>9015353 ,would have been more efficient to do thinner layers to begin with! And ofc just take your time and be careful. I would say I spent a good 40-45 minutes on each side, both times.

why do most toriel cosplayers do the whole black nose, black eyebrow thing like holy hell it looks so bad, not to mention since toriel has white hair she'd have white eyebrows right?

>>9015160
i am laughing that is exactly what it looks like

>>9015734

>>9015146
honestly i don't think it's terrible

just kinda meh

>>9015721
Not sure. It looks like they're trying to do faun makeup

You would've thought white eyebrows - or at least grey - would've looked way better..

I saw a cute Mettaton cosplayer!

hOI

did a test fitting of the pauldrons on the robe and added the 3D printed delta rune. All that's left is to style my wig and finalize my makeup for Asriel.

>>9016580
wow I know mobile uploads weirdly, but... upside down?

Also, if anyone's got any advice for how to minimize the appearance of that unfortunate glue stain, I'm all ears. It's not obvious in fullbody shots, but on closeups like this, it's gonna bother me a lot.

>>9015943
was it me? ;P

>>9016583
maybe hot steam? Should loosen the glue some and pat with a wet rag or paper towel

>>9016583
What kind of glue is it? Unfortunately different kinds of glue ask for different methods.

>>9000598
Having to say that it's 'not that much' sort of proves the point that it's ridiculously steep, though.
>inb4 "that anon isn't even here still REEEE"

>>9016900
It's E6000

>>9017016
if it's not rubbed into the fabric, you can pick/peel e6000 off

>>9017021
And… if it is? (There's some parts where I can pick it off and other spots where I can't. The stretch velvet wasn't very forgiving on that front…)

>>9017029
I don't know how well it'll work on velvet, but (inb4 wtf are you doing) using an extremely fine grit sandpaper GENTLY can help
Like sandpaper used for sanding cars for paint jobs

>>9016952
I hound the UT threads like a dog(go), I'm still here. It's still pretty cheap, my point is that Kaiborg Studios could have asked a lot more if they wanted to. Check out some helmet makers around the internet and tell me 200 dollars is still expensive.

>>9017016
That's harsh. I can only find "try acetone!" which is pretty much guaranteed to discolour fabric.

>>9016656
Were you at a Virginia Beach comic con?

I'm trying to figure out what to do about the underside of my shoulder-spikes for Mettaton.
They're painted foam, but the underside has this circle texture, so painting that isn't really an option.

I'm thinking fabric or glitzy cardstock, but both of those would probably look terrible.
Any other ideas?

>>9017439
Plain black would be your safest option

>>9017439
If you can find thin craft foam you can glue that to the underside. Just don't forget to blend/angle cut the edges!

>>9015721
well considering most people do white face paint for toriel, doing white eyebrows too would look a fucking mess

>>9017513
They could easily do a light grey to make it stand out a little and not look as stark as black, though. In all fairness, ALL Toriels do black brows, including the ones that people praise(d) on here.

>>9017029
maybe try tweezers to pick at what you can't pull off yourself?

I'd like to make my own Manly Bandanna and Tough Gloves. Description says the gloves are dusty pink so I'll probably dye them, and paint on the symbol from the Flowey fight. Not sure if I should make the bandanna pink to match, or if solid black, white, or red. I'd like to avoid paisley because I think it's ugly.

>>9017741
isn't the manly bandanna based off the one from mother 3? If it is, I'd say red is your best bet.

>>9017741
it could be orange because of the soul color

what a time to be alive

>>9017972
Does she make that same face in every photo? Yeesh.

>>8996733
Don't you lie to yourself! You love me and you know it, pal!!!

>>9006839
Looks like shit. But you probably have a bunch of tumblr genderqueer Tweens all over you.

>>9017972
>the delta rune is crooked
>the delta rune is crooked...

>>9018108
It's not even a Delta Rune at that point

>>9018108
>>9018149
Delta Ruined

>>9018156
You cheeky shit

Are there any good Toriels out there?

>>9018207
I like vape Toriel.

>>9018224

Well post a picture then, friendo.

>>9014796
Great work on the fabric painting, anon! The wig looks super cute too, where'd you find it?

>>9017972

Isn't that..the lolita fashion queen girl? I know I've seen that nose ring before.

>>9017972
>underskirt
>unfinished shit left and right
>everything is crooked

"fancy"!Toriel it ain't

>>9017972
Train wreck.

Its always confused me why Mettaton EX cosplayers don't use metallic makeup. Anyone care to explain?

>>9018846
Can't shade it very well, so it can look pretty bad?

>>9009840
That looks awesome! How do you plan on attaching it to your robe?

>>9015146
Her attempt at selecting a fancy looking fabric bit her in the butt. I bought the same silky print from JoAnn and immediately thought of what linings to use to avoid undergarment silhouettes peeking through because its very thin. Her hoops wouldn't have been so visible if she lined it. It would have taken an intense amount of tulle or crinoline to hide those hoops and I wouldn't be surprised if her budget and/or time just ran out to fix it.

I won't lie, I had high hopes for her cosplay, but I ended up disappointed.

>>9018846
I tested out Mehron's Metallic Powder + mixing liquid, but it's too dark, to me. I might use it for his cheek panels but not the rest of the face.

I do hate when cosplayers use matte grey or white, though.
I'm going to do a mix of white paint and metallic powder to get a lighter silver sort of shade.

took this for my fellow seagulls, enjoy

>>9019310
why is there blood on frisk? is everyone in this fandom completely retarded?

>>9019322
Secondaries, my dear

>>9019310
Took me a hot ass second to even realize the mess over on the left was Flowey. Somebody needs to tell these people that sometimes less is more.

>>9019310

>>9019391
Honestly I'd prefer the Flowey to the Toriel.
>less is more
They gave up on that mindset a long ass time ago.

>>9019399
>that file name
Kek

>>9020399

>>9020400
>>9020399
Heart's a little yellow but I like the armor

>>9019310
Why is Frisk wearing overalls? Like...let alone overalls that clearly do not fit her at all

>>9018846
Yeah, >>9018851 pretty much has it. Metallic colours are very difficult to highlight & shadow, so are very difficult to contour with. What ends up happening is that you end up looking very flat faced, and just silver/gray, and not very metal-like at all.

Most people also tend to limit their usage of metallics & shimmers to the obviously metal panelling on the side of the face. The panelling wouldn't stand out if the entire face looked nearly identical in colour/finish.

>>9019310
>"flowey" and frisk sticking out their tongues
>toriel's makeup

we've had it wrong this whole time! these are all just Mettatale AU cosplayers!

>>9020919
AU wherein Frisk is a crack whore in a hick town.

>>9017972
If she had just stopped with the Delta Rune and maybe a little lace, this could have actually been really pretty...

>>9021007
honestly, I don't think there could've been any way to save this cosplay...

Also I'm losing determination with building this sans mask since I've cut my hand twice already...

>>9021012
Don't give up friend.
I just ruined the paint job on my MTT chest piece with a faulty can of glitter spray.
I've been adding a subtle glitter finish to all the pieces of the costume, and the fucking can decompressed or something and dribbled glitter unevenly all over when I went to mist it.

I have to sand it all off and start over.

Any of you nerds doing Fanime?

>>9021116
I will be ^^

>>9020399
>>9020400
>>9020434
Might just be the lighting in the photos.
I really enjoy those little heart cutouts on the armor though, very cool.

>>9019310
Oh my flying fuck I forgot about that clown of a Flowey. As if the fucking Toriel didn't make me mad enough. They all look so punchable.

The flowey prop made me laugh pff

>>9021047
aw fuck, that sucks...

Good luck metta anon and I'll try not to give up!

>>9021116
Is there a meet? I haven't seen much on Facebook

>>9021486
There's one on saturday from 4-5
It's in the forums and gathering list

any tips for how I can make my chara costume more interesting outside of just getting the outfit right?

>>9020399
I always figured that thing on her chest was a spear-head, not a heart.
huh

>>9021506
Make the melting face makeup

>>9021506
Slap some dust on your clothes, have the heart locket + dagger,

>>9006839
I kinda wanna hug you

>>9021116
Yup. Gonna be hosting an Undertale themed co-op game show panel on Friday at 3. It might not be complete shit, just a little shit.

Stripes okay?

>>9021661
Stripes okay.

>>9021661
>>9016042
hOI fellow temshop

Nice stripes. I'm painting on mine which probably won't be as uniformly yellow... I'm hoping it'll come out with a natural rugged look once it's dry. Which con are you going to?

>>9022222
MCM Expo!

>>9022237
Same! What days are you going? I am going to brave that UT meetup on Sat I've decided.

>>9022241
Just Sat and Sunday. Do you know what time the meetup is?

I'm posting for my girlfriend who's going as TemShop, I'm doing Mettaton myself.

>>9022267
It's at 1PM on the grass outside Novotel.

Is that your Mettaton? That's badass dude! I've only ever seen plain coloured ones without lights.

>>9022281
Great! We'll be on the look out for you.

And thanks! I just hope it doesn't rain the day, I don't think the electronics could survive that. But you know, London weather.

>>9022297
An umbrella would be adorable because you'd look like the minitons from his battle.
But I'm not sure if it'd shield your box from actual rain.

>>9022304
I think it might actually... I'll bring one along!

Any tips for MTT?
I have everything finished but my armsock lines came out a little uneven.
Should I shade with the same kind of grey spray paint I used for my belt or is that no no for shiny fabric?

Ho boy Fanime is only two days away for me and I have yet to fix up my Toriel for the panel so it doesn't look like utter shit

>>9022660
>Merriweather Toast Tavilion
I.....what?

How much do you think it would cost to commission a Chara sweater? Pic is the sweatshirt I fabric glued back in January. It turned out worse than I thought it would and I'd rather not add to the pile of shit-tier Undertale cosplays.

>>9023234
MTT = Mettaton
Did you play the game

>>9022660
I'd.. test it first. It might work okay if you do thin layers but I'd be worried about it cracking.

>>9023250
Sewing the lines on wouldn't cost much. Knitting it would, mostly for time.

>>9018246
Sorry to leave you hanging so long, I havent been checking this thread!

I got the wig on Amazon! It's the "eNilecor Short Hair Wig 14'' 36cm"...I don't think it's the most natural looking wig in the world but it looked alright when I put it on and at least one of my friends thought I got a haircut so there's that, lol.

>>9023250
I feel like it'd be cheaper to buy a cheap sewing machine, a green sweater, and white fabric and doing it yourself than to commission someone for something that simple.

>>9023280
>>9023348
I really enjoy the look of the handknit ones. I don't know why but they just look really nice to me compared to all the other ones I've seen.

>>9023234
Lol I now want to see that cosplay. Or a Sung Tongs couple cosplay

>>9023199

>>9023464
>>9023233 points for actually looking middle aged

Did knitting anon ever finish their sweater?

Has anyone actually seen a good Toriel cosplay?

>>9023467
Yeah,I'm pretty sure knitting anon finished their sweater.
Think they needed it for Fanime,so they should have finished

>>9017741
Finished em.

>>9017851
Thanks for the tip

>>9023199
>A worn pink leather glove. For five fingered folk.
Hmm. I feel like more research could have gone into these...

>>9023611
The abs are beautiful

>>9023624
Thanks I've been working ou-- oh

>>9023537
I hope they post pics! Their Chara sweater and Frisk sweater both looked so gorgeous, I've been so excited to see the final product for them

>>9023537
>currently power knitting in our room

ha ha... ha ha..... ha ha haaaaaaa

>>9024235
stay determined, anon!

oh boy

Sans mask got fucked up on the way to the hotel and I forgot to bring my paints just in case... So I'm stuck with just alphys. (which im wearing for Animazement this saturday)

>>9023611
Bandana came out awesome anon!!

>>9024608
>dual-toned lips
W H Y

God it's like that other Toriel's mom

>>9024608
Oh god she's copying the "fancy toriel" I cannot believe this.

>>9024638
You don't know how many girls copied the fancy toriel on instagram. Like everyone are doing a big dress with pearls and fancy shit like that on the delta rune

>>9024638
Worst part is that her delta rune looks TONS better than FancyToriel, but everything else, yikes.

>>9024235
You can do it anon! I've been lurking this thread rooting for you.

>>9024608
It's fancy Toriel's pagent mom

>>9024719
>>9024841
At this point I might as well do a fancy toriel then.
But then, it would be just a waste of time and money...

Guess I could design it? I'm sure I can shit out a design better than the one she created

>>9024235
You can do it anon, and if you can't, please have fun anyways

>>9023484
There's quite a few I have found on instagram, but I'd say no more than about 3 have really been interesting.

>>9024608
Why do Toriel cosplayers insist on using such hideous lace???

>>9024608
Could you imagine seeing this shit in a dimly-lit corridor

>>9024608
the two toned lip... its spreading!!!

>>9025043
Don't do it anon. Fancy is a shit

Honestly the whole Fancy! cosplay shit is so stupid like, it seems like it stemmed over from the homeshit (homestuck) fandom where it was basically war to see who could create the fanciest outfit/au outfit

>>9025043
If you do it, I'd honestly suggest still keeping it true to character. The problem that the other overly fancy Toriel made is that she went so far with her own design that the delta rune is the only thing letting others know she's Toriel. Add subtle detail, maybe your own twist, but ask yourself if Toriel would actually wear something like that.

>>9026695
yeah, the royal family are pretty modest/ low key in undertale. they put their kid in long sleeved t-shirts after all.

Anything from Saturday's Undertale meet-up at London MCM?

If anyone was at Anime North, how were the Undertale cosplayers there?

>>9027529
I have a few but I'll wait for the new thread

Thanks for the encorgment snobs. I didn't manage to finish the chara on time so here's my friend modeling the frisk one for our masquerade entry.

>>9029031
Anon not snobs I'm so sorry it auto corrected

New one: >>9029085
