How to Decide on a Cosplay | Advice

How to Decide on a Cosplay | Advice Hello everybody, today I will be talking about how to decide on a cosplay. Deciding these things can be very hard, the wrong choice can be regretful. Look at your resources. My Edward Elric coat. Take a look at your fabric, wigs, and other supplies. What can you make NOW? Or what do you have ready?  Yes, you can buy more supplies. But, if the convention is near. Or, if you're like me and spent all your money on the tickets. They can be expensive and hard to get.  Take a look at the panels. Same coat, but refurbished for Keith. Maybe you'd like to be part of a cosplay panel and you can make a costume for it. Or, there's a panel with voice actors from your favorite series you'd like to cosplay at. Think about your deadline and current interests.  You may like your Voltron cosplay, but be really into Undertale at the time and go as Undyne. Go in a cosplay that you will be excited about and happy...

Laura Dactyl's Introduction!

Hey guys! It's Julia. Today, I wanted to introduce you to a member of this group! She loves cosplaying as envy, and she is very important to the group. Everyone give it up for America's favorite envy cosplayer... I typed some questions for her to answer in this post so you guys can get to know her. What is your favorite cosplay you have done? "I like cosplaying as Envy. It's because I'm a hot boy." What cosplay plans do you have for the future? "I don't even know anymore. If I could do any character it would be Ling Yao." Why do you like to cosplay? "Because I can, I'm a sassy girl." Do you have anything else to say? "No." Say something. "I'm giving up on you."

Posing Tips for Cosplay Photos | Tutorial

Posing Tips for Cosplay Photos | Tutorial Hey Guys, It's Julia! Today, I wanted to give you some tips I've learned from YouTube, cosplay contests, and personal photo shoots.  If you want some extra information, there are many YouTube videos.  This one helped me a lot:  How to Pose Like a Pro Silhouettes:  This was one of the points discussed in the video, and this truly works! I'm sure most people know about "Who's that Pokemon?" from the Pokemon anime. This is what I'm talking about. In this photo, you can tell this is obviously Pikachu. Even without minor details, colors, and a face. In photos, you should be able to be recognized as that character. I understand that some cosplays are hard to distinguish without the minor details. If this is the case, be sure to express your emotions. The silhouette should be able to be translated as, angry, sad, happy, and etc. To enhance this, try to keep your limbs apart so you will not create ...

EPIC WIG/SUPPLIES ORDER!! | Update

Epic Wig/Supplies Order!! | Update Hey guys! It's Julia! Today, I wanted to tell you i ordered a TON of stuff on amazon! (I'm getting half of it tomorrow!!) You don't  have to read this, because I will be doing an unboxing video, but go ahead if you want!  Wigs I Ordered: Princess Allura | White Wig: Wig Link  This wig is heat resistant, and very useful! I will mainly use it for my Allura cosplay, but I will be using it for female Shiro and female Papyrus! I'm sure if you are able to, it is able to be cut. (And styled.) Edward Elric | Blond/Yellow Wig: Wig Link This wig is not heat resistant, but comes in three colors! (I probably should've gotten the lighter one but whatever!) Many anime characters are blonde, like Winry, so it's very useful! Roy Mustang/Keith | Black Wig: Wig Link (The picture on the link was styled like Roy, but also works for Keith!) This wig is for me, but I will be le...

Should I Cosplay in a group or alone? | Discussion

Should I cosplay in a group or alone? | Discussion Hey, guys! It's Julia! Today, I will be discussing the topic of group cosplay and solo cosplay. I have done both at least once and watched several videos on the subject. Sometimes, people wonder if they will get lonely cosplaying alone. Not necessarily. When I cosplay, I've always brought a friend to at least watch me. You can always make new friends at the convention! (Just be safe.) Cosplay can be a good conversation starter. However, if you go alone, you can be lonely. Although, this will apply to any event whether you're cosplaying or not. But, solo cosplay can lead to easier planning. You wouldn't have to save spending money for all of your friends. (If needed, this is sometimes a problem.) Or cosplay in a group with people who don't know anything about the characters. For example, I really like the Voltron: Legendary Defender series, but my friend knows nothing about it. I almost made her wear a c...

How to refurbish cheap synthetic wigs! | Tutorial

How to refurbish cheap synthetic wigs! | Tutorial Hey guys! It's Julia! Today, I will be doing my first tutorial! I will be showing you how to refurbish cheap synthetic wigs. This is in no way a professional tutorial, and it all depends on how bad of shape it is. (Cut hair, tangles, or bad treatment/washing.) As all of you know, wigs get very tangled. This is what my wig looked like. (I don't have actual pictures.) GARBAGE Ok, all jokes aside, the wig looked disgusting. I was 90% sure that it was unfixable. But, I was able to make it look like this! Now, the tips of the back DO NOT feel as good as they look. So just be aware, this is NOT for softening a wig! Also, do not use this for quality wigs, I don't want to make you loose you expensive wig. ;-; Step 1. Fill your sink or bucket with water. THIS STEP IS NOT REQUIRED FOR FABRIC SOFTENER, FILL THE CONTAINER WITH FABRIC SOFTENER INSTEAD.) Fill your sink/container with enough water to drown yo...

Roy Mustang Costume | Update

Image
Roy Mustang Costume | Update Hi guys! It's Jewel!   This is most likely the second to last update about the Roy Costume. I have completed the sewing and dyed it. TIP: Do not use thick fabrics for dyeing. It does not get a very good color.       I used two fabrics for the shirt and pants. Yes, It's not very professional, but I ran out and needed to finish it. The pants, which were a loose fabric, worked very well with the dye , but the shirt did not. The shirt was very thick, and turned out as a light purple-blue.  OF course, I worked too hard on this to let it go to waste, so I will still allow JC to wear it. However, I will not be using it as a craftsmanship entry for the mini con. As for the full con, I will most likely make her another costume to go with my Allura costume. Perhaps, Keith will do. PLEASE learn  from my mistake!! If you're not sure, don't. (Unless you don't care, and by the way, I let it soak for an hour.) Roy Mustang Cos...

Update | Envy Cosplay: Fullmetal Alchemist

Image
Update for Envy Cosplay: Fullmetal Alchemist Hello Everyone! It's Julia! Today I wanted to update you on the Envy Cosplay I am working on.  I have the shorts/skirt piece sewn, I just have to cut it and even it out. The top is sewn and I just have to cut it to what I want it to be. This Envy costume is going to be worn on Halloween. (With my Edward Elric costume and JC's Roy Mustang costume.) It will also be worn at the day convention I am attending. We will enter the cosplay contest with the costumes and hopefully win a prize! Even if we don't cosplay contests are always memorable and fun! I highly recommend you guys enter one if you cosplay. The last time I was in a cosplay contest, I was Rose Quartz from Steven Universe.  JC was Fritz Smith from Five Nights At Freddy's. I remember having lots of fun and I even impressed the judges!  I am in no way a professional cosplayer, so this amazed me. Thank you for reading! Keep Cosplaying...
