Keeping with the VA theme, if selfposts are cool.

I'm itching to wear Doppio again once I'm more in shape, but I'd really want a Diavolo or Risotto to shoot with.

PART 5 FUCKIN S U C K S

>>9325458
Cry more, pleb

I'm gonna coss' as Kira Yoshikage from JoJo in an upcoming convention this month.

I thought I would finish the outfit with a paper bag with the "St. Gentlemen" logo. Any idea where I could get a decent picture of the logo so I could print it?
There was some discussion related to this in the past which is why I'm asking here.

>>9325458
That's your problem, not ours

Question for grills who have cosplayed part 5 characters like Giorno and Bucciarati: how did you flatten your chest to work for the costume? I've seen a lot of different tricks people have done to pull off the look, but I wanna hear some anecdotes before trying anything.


Pic related is for >>9325458

>>9327921
I've seen some people use a flesh colored binder or shirt with airbrushing or makeup on it.

>>9327921
I i open shirt bind with medical tape but im pretty flat to begin with

>>9327610
I'm unable to save photos right now, so here's a link instead:

Damn that is nicely executed.

I wish this was in higher res.

I met the most beautiful Gappy I've ever seen at Nebcon back in November. Him and his friend apparently do a ton of other Jojo cosplays regularly, I'm glad I learned this afterwards because I'm intimidated to talk to them now

>>9330638
I saw him! I was so mad I wasn't wearing my Daiya at the shoot, I would have loved to take pictures with him.

>>9327921
I cosplay Abbacchio and open chest bind with medical grade tape. My boobs aren't huge but they're big enough to be a bit of a hassle to bind.
It's not very comfortable and I don't advise wearing it for a long period of time but it does the trick.

>>9330727
Gonna look out for them at Naka since they might go to that. He was working on a Valentine cosplay last time I checked facebook

Can someone make this so that the color is red instead of purple?

I think the logos were red in the anime.

>>9331706
There are no canon colors in Jojo so who cares what the anime color was?

Anyway, here. You can edit the colors in photoshop easily with this one.

>>9331865

>gentleman

It's Gentlemen in the anime.

>>9331879
>caring this much about the anime
I'm not mad just disappointed

>>9331865

I'm actually gonna print this out and slap it on a brown paper bag.
If I print the one you posted it will leave white in the background and it won't blend in with the actual bag.

And I have no idea how to photoshop this purple color into red.

>>9331942
use the colorize filter
it's SUPER easy

Asked in the last thread, but any tips on the best way add the streaks in a wig for BTD Kira?

Not sure if some kinda dye or sewing them in or something would be best. Wigs I’ve used in the past never needed anything other than styling.

>>9335256
wear a watermelon

>>9335256
sew in wefts

>>9335256
My friend has done that with Arda\s Caddy wig. then colored the streaks with sharpie. It turned out real nice

Holy shit.

I posted in the help thread too but I'm really at a loss. Does anyine have any suggeations on a Mountain Tim wig?? It's like this poofy mullet. I also am at a loss on the long side burns.... I want to do my boy justice but now i know why it's a stuggle.

>>9338128
Maybe buy an afro wig and cut it to shape?

>>9338472
Maybe just buy a curly wig and tease the curls a bit. The style he has is a bit odd.

>>9336230

>>9342156
Everyone probably thought you were being ironic, like how I call Tonio Totino.

>>9342156
Oh man this made my day.

Bruno anon from the previous thread, I did what >>9328000 mentioned, I wore a binder and then an airbrushed shirt to look like a bare chest (with Bruno's tattoo) over top. Only way I could tackle it cause I have too much boob to open chest bind.

I just finished my kakyoin cosplay and there are two issues with it, its a bit small and its really hot.
Its not so small i can't wear it but i cant do any really extreme poses, does anyone have any recs for some that would still look good? also its so hot im not sure how im gonna be able to wear the jacket all day, do you think that if I took it off at some point I would still look recognizable and not super lazy

>>9345046

His official pose isn't extreme at all, you should be able to do this one.

>>9344902
The top half of this Black Sabbath always makes me happy

>>9345046
His jacket is like half the costume, it's probably a better idea to not wear whatever's under the jacket (depending on what material it's made out of)

>>9345046
>>9345158
Yeah Kakyoin's signature pose is really easy to do. It's not like you're doing his HFTF poses, or a pose like Killer Queen's 1st bomb pose.

This is a personal favorite.

Has anyone cosplayed as young jonathan in the as seen in the new style?

Was directed here for my question

Wanting to do a Josuke Higashikata cosplay, however it's my first time attempting a cosplay and am very weary on where I should buy the costume and wig, in fear of getting something cheaply made and/or at a hiked up price.

Are there any reliable sites I can look in to find what I'm looking for?

>>9351788
realtalk anon but i wouldn't try to do anything too "stylized" as your very first cosplay since making wigs like that tends to be difficult and they look like shit 9 times out of 10

>>9351788
>first time attempting a cosplay
>anything Jojo
nooooo

What the actual fuck is this

>>9355070
Why do people do this to themselves?

Just curious, how many of you are going to Katsucon this weekend?

>>9355070
>Cheap Ali or eBay costume that fits like a box
>Symbols are actually made from a box
>Wig that happens to not just be frizzy, but also really greasy looking
>The laziest face lines possible and no contouring

>>9355332
Ill be there

>>9355332
My brother and I will be there as Josefumi and Kira

>>9355332
I'm going as Aishou on Friday

>>9355332
ill be kakyoin on saturday

>>9355332
I'll probably just have Jonathan but I'll be there.

>>9355332
I'm going as Jolyne, Johnny and Rohan!

>>9355332
I'll be Joubin on Friday and Rohan (RPS Kid outfit) Saturday!!

Does anyone have any tips on how to make Diego's riding helmet? I tried sewing it so that the fabric matches the shirt but it's looking more like a cap than a helmet atm. This is my first time making a hat like this so any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!

>>9355332
It'll be a toss up between Reimi/Daiya Friday and Sugar Mountain Saturday

>>9357593
The world needs more Daiya

>>9357454
I recommend getting an actual riding helmet and covering it in fabric.

Casual Jotaro.

>>9358578
"Casual" Jojo cosplays can be done well if you actually make an effort to look like the character, pic related. That is not it.

>>9358609
dont you see star platinum? The ora shirt?? at least my picture doesnt have any photoshop you fool

>>9358750
LOL

>>9358578
Nice Overwatch hat you dumb faggot

>>9358609
I actually really like this for casual cosplays. It doesn't look like it's thrown together like your average closet cosplay, and I can imagine Araki drawing these characters in these clothes as a doodle off to the side.

>>9358949
Thanks, you fat whore

>>9358109
>>9357454
Seconding this. I did that and used a free riding helmet cover pattern I found online. Just keep in mind riding helmets are kind of big and clunky. Pic related is mine and I just used a shitty helmet from aliexpress

>>9359396
Thanks - that's looking pretty good!! I will try going down this route.

Would you happen to have a link to that helmet cover pattern handy still?

Can you guys give me some tips on choosing a character to cosplay? I'm divided between Enrico Pucci, Guido Mista, and Pocoloco.

>Gay Priest
Resemble him the most, and his costume's probably the cheapest to buy/get. But I'd have to cut my hair and shave lines into it to make it look good, and I was growing it out for dreads. And I'm stuck on how to make his face hair lines or ponytail.

>Gunslinger Guy
I'd get to wear a hat, but I've also never seen him done well at all. Usually the sweater is too loose, and I've yet to see a single picture where the hat sits right on his head.

>Pocolocolocolocoloco
He's so minor that I'm honestly worried that he'd be unrecognizable. And because of how minor hie is, I can't find his costume online, meaning I'd have to make my own costume, and there's not a lot of good pictures of the entire thing. Also I've never made a costume before.

>>9360075
If you absolutely refuse to get your hair cut (and honestly I can't blame you), you could do Pocoloco, I don't see why not. Making your own cosplay from scratch isn't easy, especially if it's your first one but you could commission someone to make it for you if you really want.

Anyone know some good wigs to make polnareff's hair style?

>>9328129
Says the one who can't get a girl

>>9331942

How do you not know how to use the background eraser in PS?

>>9358578
Nice try faking being a tripfag

>>9359902
If you type in "riding helmet cover pattern" on Google, it's the first result, which is a PDF. It takes a little modification, I suggest making the lip smaller, but otherwise it's super easy to follow. Good luck with your diego!!

>>9357593
Saturday Johnny anon, there's never enough Sugars

>>9359293

Your cosplay is shit and you like shit games

Asian women who cosplay as Jojo characters always make a point of putting on make up that makes them look like Gackt. Every god damn time. It looks so dumb. If you like that face so much use it on FF characters, not on Jojo.

Seeing a Buccelati that isn't bukkake'd with contouring and face lines is refreshing.

>>9366932
This Bruno is one of the best I've seen.

>>9360300
Try asking in the wig thread too >>9364723 Maybe someone there will be able to help you out. Also: Good luck.

>>9369645
Hey that's pretty good.

>>9370095
I like the fact they went for white hair and makeup instead of silver.

i'm at this point in my cosplay work where I gotta ask since I'm trying to tackle it - does anyone have any tips on how to make mistas hat in a way that doesn't look like shit?

>>9371131
As someone who's made mista's hat and is about to make 2 more. His hat is a pain in the ass, and requires a bunch of hand sewing (for the way I went about it anyways)

The base pattern is really pretty simple, all the stripes are elastic handsewn on to get the placement correct. If you have a mista figure it's a great reference for placement.

Really it just takes a lot of time and patience.

>>9371434
wow that look good !

>>9358963
Too bad they look perpetually angry. That's not how faces work in Jojo, they just look like fucking Genesis Valentine.

Sorry for the super precise question, I would like to cosplay giorno, and I notice that he have blond eyebrows.
Mine are thick and black. Should I bleach them ( I'm scared that it look like I have no eyebrows on pictures), put eyebrow mascara in a lighter shade or leave them like that ?

>>9374780
you can cover your eyebrows and redraw them

>>9378643
it won't last a whole con with the number of layers I would have to put to cover them

Would I make a good Jotaro?

>>9386520
I'd say you could, so long as you don't fuck with any of that hideous face lines shit in reality, and maybe just do some light contouring, because nine times out of ten, black face lines look like shit.

>>9355464
iirc they were trying to sell the wig and costume in a jojo facebook group recently

>>9382261
if you use the glue stick method and seal it well you should be fine. if not then bleach them i guess

>>9386520
I agree with >>9386526. You have the right face for it, just don't do the black face lines and you'd make a good Jotaro for sure.

What characters do you think I could pull off? I've done Speedwagon before, as well as DIO. I could post pics of those if anyone's interested, although they certainly aren't very great. The wig I used for Speedwagon wasn't poofy and big like his hair is, and the wig I did for DIO was a fucking mess because I'm not experienced with wigs yet;;

>>9389459
You definitely have the facial features for Dio, even your eyebrows can work with a bit of cleaning and definition. Might want to try him again when you gain some more experience. Other than that, I think you could make a great Johnny too.

>>9389464
Thank you! Here's one of the better pics of me as DIO. Thoughts?

>>9389478
Here's a full-body pic. The boots aren't right because I made the costume for Halloween and I couldn't find/make anything accurate on time.

>>9389478
>>9389481
Were these two pics taken at the same event? Your makeup looks much better in the second one. Overall it's not bad for Halloween but there's definitely room for improvement, and the boots are actually one of the better parts of this imo. I'm sure you can do better if you try again though.

>>9389493
The second pic was around Halloween and the first was in January. And thank you for the encouragement. I'm not exactly experienced or very skilled when it comes to sewing/crafting/wig styling/etc. but I try my best^^

would this be good for Yukako? Or should I grab two different wigs and stack them on top of each other?

Hey, I'm planning to display as this sexy beast, anyone got any advice for the outfit? Or how to potentially make my own Vitamin C?

abbacchio anon from a long time ago, just saying that eva foam covered in fabric worked great for the egg hat

IS

Any good Kira wig and suit recommendations?

does anyone have experience making shoepants? like ones the are completely one piece. especially out of a not super stretchy fabric if possible

>>9363199
Ayyy that's No Talent Cosplay. She's ripped as hell and does a shitton of Jojo cosplays. 10/10 would let her crush my head between her thighs.

>>9422239
As someone who's made several pantshoes, (connected and not) make them seperate you'll really thank yourself. Just make shoe covers and leave the covers long so they're like socks you wear under the pants. It looks seamless enough with the natural folds of the fabric.

>>9422302
I'm not sure if that's gonna work, I'm doing bites the dust Rohan and I think the zippers are gonna get in the way. I might try to make them like spats or something though

Does anyone have any advice on how to do the fabric for bruno, also does anyone have reference for his shirt/tattoo thing?

>tfw can't do Pucci because I'm white
Why must life be so cruel?

>>9401406
I was thinking of doing Vitamin C too. For his body I would probably make a poncho type garment made up of arms and hands of varying lengths. Since we have on official colors yet I was thinking of my color scheme being based on fruits (cuz Vitamin C) so lots of orange and red.

Any advice for getting these applique's right? I used foam sheets before and taped bobby bins to the other sides. These wore very easily over the day and when bent continued to look weird. Is there any other easy material to work into an Anchor and a Compass?

>>9432473
Did you paint the foam or use vinyl sheets over them? Not for Gappy, but I used foam + vinyl sheet overlay for the horseshoe on my Johnny cap and it stayed consistent even after being stored away. If you have a lot of time, you could also try embroidering your own patches for them, or see if you can order custom patches online.

The vinyl sheet overlay seems like a good support, haven't tried that before. How did yours turn out?
I'm not opposed to starting over though. Do you trust any patch commissioners yourself?

>>9432492

>>9430745
There's nothing stopping you from doing it? Just make sure your costume and wig are accurate and you'll be recognisable?

>>9432500
Use a ruler and a craft knife, my dude. Fucking hell.

>>9432473
You just need something to support the back. Maybe some sort of heavy hard stock, foam core board, anything like that.

If you have the money, you could even make the base out of foam and cover them in worbla for support.

>>9422410
Ah I see, well in that case if you look at the latest statue of him, looking closely at his shoes it seems like his pants connect via snaps or buttons to his shoes. I'd say you could do the same.

>>9433544
owo

I'm gonna be Speedwagon for fanime and I have most of it done, I just need a good jacket. Also, any tips on how to style the wig while looking somewhat realistic?

[spoiler]i'm not posting pics of my WIP because i'm afraid of you guys calling me ugly and/or fat

>>9433594
that's what i've decided on. its still not gonna be fun but it should be a bit easier

>>9422239
>>9422410
I'm currently working on BTD Rohan, finished the base of his pants yesterday. I'd say it takes a lot of fitting desu and they're gonna wrinkle in a lot of places (I'm using one way stretch twill). It's a big heckle to do but the end result turned out decent enough, though I wish it could be a bit tighter fitting by the ankles but my base shoes don't allow for that. Can post a pic of my pattern if you want it? Just to give you an idea of how to go about it.

>>9439408
that would be great! It looks really good and I'm using a pretty similar fabric

>>9432503
>this
Here's one pic of my Pucci cosplay I did a couple of years ago. It's a bit fixed with photoshop as the paint got into my hair (which was a bit fluffier fabric glued on with latex, could and should have gone with bald cap)

What are peoples feelings on using shiny fabric for characters where it isn't really in canon?

>>9443799
Depends on the end result and how it looks imo. It can be great if the fabric is high quality and you know what to do with it. Do you have any examples of what you had in mind though?

>>9443813
Part 6 and 7 characters mostly, I guess specifically foo fighters or weather report

>>9443846
Shiny/wet look Foo Fighters is pretty common, actually, for obvious reasons I suppose.

>>9443846
This is the nicest Weather I managed to find, people do use shiny fabrics for him but few of them pull it off well.

>>9443868
There's also this one.

>>9443859
Shiny Diego is quite popular too.

>>9443799
Agree that it depends on the quality of material, and the outfit, but when done well I think it's really cool. For example shiny gold DIO is a pretty common one that I think is fitting, but IMO adding extra sparkles to jojo just works

>>9444172
I found this while googling stuff too, there are some weird things about this outfit but I'm down with a holographic Valentine. Also HP is cute

>>9443885
>>9443873
>>9443813

These are just amazing..Really gives me something to try for. Its not the best in the world...Like these guys look great.
>>9364183
>>9358609
Its hard for 135 pounds to attempt to look like a damn tank. Gives me reasons to hit the gym, get a slightly closer body type.

I'm aware there are many errors, next time will be better.

>>9444731
Is that you? I like the way you did the hat with the hair but you can definitely improve. I'd say that the first step you should take is to drop the face lines: I've only seen them done well once and that was a face covered in makeup and generally not something everyone is capable of doing (another anon might be able to post it, unfortunately I'm dumb and didn't save it). Stick with contouring instead, you may have to practice it first but when it's done well it looks a lot better than straight up lines on your face.
In my opinion, with some work you'll make a great Jotaro.

>>9444731
You just need to mainly smooth out the rough edges on the uniform and abs, and use contouring instead of hard face lines.

>>9444755
>>9444799
I need to remake the whole costume
The girlfriend did put a lot of makeup on me but this was our first time trying it for JJBA. I don't have any real HD pictures cause the person who took them wants to edit all of them before hand...

But man, I wish I had beautiful eyes like this all the time.

>>9445031
Eyebrows look good but yeah calm down with the face lines next time. Also, is there any way to redo your chest piece? The pecs are way too small compared to the abs. They should be around twice their current size while the abs should be smaller and closer together. It's a very interesting idea though and a good way to attempt to look like a tank at such a low body weight!

>>9422276
Thank you based anon, I love her stuff

>>9445116
As stated prior, I wish to redo the whole outfit...We winged the shirt a couple days prior to the con. Foam and glue and hope.

Gonna have more time now so hopefully we can produce something better...Or get a better muscle suit.

>>9445197
The outfit as a whole (at least the top half) looks pretty good for the amount of time you had. Even if on short notice, that chest piece is very good compared to many of the foam ones I've seen in the past. I hope you post some progress pics or the final product because I'd definitely like to see the improvements you make!

>>9445031
I really like the eye makeup and eyebrows desu

>>9445363
Thank you.
I look like a tired child most of the time so it was nice to feel pretty? Manly..?

I felt pretty manly..manly pretty

I'm really bad with wigs and i've got no idea how to do rohan's undercut. Would using a levi wig as a base work?

>>9444731
are you planning on keeping the jacket? the embellishments look cool but they don't really work for jotaro
