This is the character sua from zombie stage, I’m a bit clueless on what to do for her “flesh” parts for my cosplay. I was thinking of doing makeup for the face and shoulder but I’m scared it’s going to transfer onto the white dress or gloves by accident. And for the leg I suppose makeup or paint could work aswell but is there anyway to thin down my thigh so it skinny enough to look like the bone part?( obviously not THAT skinny but just enough that it’s noticeable and looks like flesh from my leg is missing, I was thinking some sort of tape to wrap around my leg?)

Anyways if you have any suggestions please let me know! this might be a difficult one because her flesh parts done really look like flesh in the show! :,)

I don’t see why me simply existing in cosplay means I constantly have to fight of random absolute strangers who keep trying to shoot their shot??
It’s just outrageous that despite being barely legal(19 since June, though I be been cosplaying since 16) and someone who’s frequently told I look younger than I am, that there are still these men in their late twenties and thirties that actively try to get with me.

It always starts with a casual con photoshoot, exchanging socials cause ofc I want to see the photos taken. Then it’s invites to go to cons together or private shoots, followed by straight up being asked out on dates.

Like hello?? You’re over 30 and interested in a 19 year old. Helll the fuck no wthh

Ps: I’m sorry for not being coherent rn I’m just pissed off that these people can’t see me as anything but a romantic prospect

I want to go to a con as one of the Eridians from Project Hail Mary, either Adrian or Rocky, and I want to be as accurate as I can with it, but the issue is I can't figure out the fitting situation... My first and only two solutions would either be that I walk around like I've been possessed by a spirit, or that I walk around like a crab, depending on how flexible I am, I might just have to cut a hole in the body for my legs in the second option, any suggestions?

Does anyone have any good recommendations on where I can buy good Gambit Eye Contacts?

I am somewhat new to cosplay, and my next cosplay project is gambit, I have his costume and wig but I do not know where I can buy affordable Eye Contacts. The only options I found were ones that costed $150+ and $60+ which are not within my budget range.

Does anyone know any cheaper alternatives? Please and thank you.

How do I ask for somebodies socials and like try to ask about stuff that doesnt sound like im going just for a date? I genuinely just want a friend/friends with the same hobby but every time I search this up all posts are about "how do I ask people out on dates" so I feel like no matter what I do im going to look like a creep

Understand if people are weirded out or anything sorry

i plan on wearing this to a con, the dress code is pretty lenient (their dress code says most things are fine as long as no genitals are showing) but i would just like to know what the best underwear option would be for these.

This is a nightwing costume I'm currently working on. The armor is made out of eva foam and will go over a pre-existing nightwing bodysuit I have. I want to try and paint the armor to have a similar finish to the nightwing costume in second photo. But I'm still debating on how to get that satin/matte texture. Idk if I should just do plasti dip, sand, and then paint. Or to plasti-dip, filler primer, sand, and then paint? (IK his armor isn't made of foam, but still want to try anyway)

I'm attending a Ren faire soon, and I've spent quite awhile creating this bow. Unfortunately, I'm at a bit of a loss for an effective way to carry it around with me, especially since it won't be strung.

Looking for any ideas that would allow me to carry this around hands-free without jabbing myself with it!

I'm new to cosplay but it's been my wish to create something for quite some time now. I have previous experience with sewing small costume pieces for theatre at school but my knowledge is small in every other aspect. I'm also on a very tight budget (as in like about 60€ a month max).

Now I wish to atleast somewhat portray my character from World of Warcraft in a Character Bound way but I'd need white net contacts and a wig and I can't afford both (especially since I'd need a crimping iron for the wig as well). My thought was I could just dye my hair with temp dye to match my character and save some money for the contacts and clothes. I have light brown hair so maybe even a toner would do the trick.

I'll give you guys pictures of the hair style my character usually sports (the longer twin braids) and the alternative which matches my current hair(the short style).

I'd love your guys opinion on which option would be cheaper^^

Thanks in advance!

So I’ve 3D printed a few of these Plumbobs and need advice on the most efficient way of lighting them.

In sims the Plumbob changes colour based off you characters needs. If everything is good it’s green, if one of the needs is falling it turns yellow and then if everything is low it turns red. I think it would be cool to have this remote controlled for cons/after party’s but need some advice on the best way to do this.

Both half’s will be held together with magnets so can’t really utilise the cross section of the print, unless I cut the middle of one of them, but then I can only have a light on one side and will need some sort of reflective lining to bounce the light back up.

Any help is much appreciated.

Hi yall! There is this dress I really wanna get for an infinity Nikki cosplay but idk if it’s a legit site or not? Pls lmk! It’s called Wawxrj…this dress is sold out EVERYWHERE!

Hej, planuję zrobić kostium Lihua, ale mam problem z peruką, wiesz, z tą dużą tylną częścią, ponieważ nie chcę naprawdę robić peruki hełmowej, bo to byłaby pierwsza peruka hełmowa, którą bym zrobił(a) (głównie opierałem/am się na normalnych perukach, a nie hełmowych) i naprawdę potrzebuję kilku wskazówek lub pomocy dotyczącej tej dużej tylnej części. Jakieś pomysły?

Hey y'all, first time post.

I've cosplayed in the past, but this is a pretty different direction for me. I saw The Odyssey yesterday, and was captured by Agamemnon's armor. I thought it would be an incredible cosplay piece, but I've never worked with foams before or tried to make any kind of armor.

Just looking for any wise words, good resources folks have used for projects like this in the past, and a vague understanding of timeline and cost on a project like this, or if there's resources specific to this armor out there (I'm assuming not since the movie just came out?)

Hey guys, at the beginning of next month I'm gonna cosplay at a convention for the first time!! I'm already super excited and have almost everything ready but I'm worried about my wig. It's super long (down to my knees) and I'm scared it will just get tangled everywhere. Am I worrying too much or should it be fine? I don't wanna bother anyone plus it would be so annoying lmao.

Hi all, I’m an amateur (second-timer) cosplayer and I’m trying to cosplay as a member of the Firebreathers from Fallout 76, an elite group within the Responders faction. Now I know I have to buy some firefighter gear and whatnot, but I cannot seem to find this kind of jacket. I know it’s a long coat as the Firefighters put it, but I cannot find the design or look for this kind of jacket. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

It's for an event this weekend where I want to dress up as Ethan from Gold/Silver. I think I can track down everything else or find it in my closet, but I'm stumped on where to find a jacket close enough to either of his styles. I feel like Pokemon trainer athletic wear has a very specific "look" to it but I don't have much knowledge on sewing or modifying clothes, so I'd prefer something that already looks pretty close from the get-go.

Thank you for any help and suggestions!

I know Fallout can be pretty out there and anything really flies when it comes to the possibilities of things, but how far is too far when adding your own flair to an original character? I'm looking to dress up as a travel traveling trader from Nuka World which doesn't really exist in the game.

I'm planning to go a little bit darker and adding in teeth and eyeballs to lean more into a raider look. Is there any point where you have gone too far away from the character where it becomes unrecognizable? A lot of this is new to me so I'm trying to figure this out as I go. Thank you for your time and responses.

Hello, I have never done anything like this before, but my daughter wants to make her own costume, I’m really not that crafty but I’m willing to learn for her, so she wants to be Sun from FNAF but sort of human? And a mask that she can hold on her hand , she actually made a sketch and kind of started making a list of things we might need, to me this is a huge project but I think it would be fun to do. Just don’t know where to start. So if anyone can give me any guidance I will appreciate it. These are the sketches

I need help with the cape/jacket part he wears on his back. Does anyone know what I could buy that would fit the look? Also how could I fasten it so that it doesn’t fall off my shoulders? Any help would be much appreciated.

First time cosplaying and I'm a bit unsure on how to go about adding these stripes to a track jacket.

I've seen I could either try sewing a red ribbon onto it or using fabric paint but I don't know which one works best for this type of clothing.

Thanks in advance!

I just bought a cosplay and its my first cosplay and don't know how to fix this. I wanted to cosplay lucoa from miss kobayashi's dragon maid for comic con. I have a problem with the cap, the horns are very floppy and theire ment to stay up and I don't know what to put inside the cap to make them stay. When I put the cap on they still flop down. Someone please help!!

(Had to repost because I forgot to put another photo)

Hot glue didn't stick. I'm trying to attach these lenses (one plastic, one cardboard) to this headband made with fake leather, to create some goggles as you can see in the last photo. But I can't think of a way to get the lenses to actually stick to the leather. It's not very grippy, so hot glue just doesn't stick. Any tips?

PS, the circular leather piece was my previous method of getting the larger lens to not fall off when the headband opened or closed. I had glued the fabric to the lens, and then glued the other side of the fabric to just 2 points of contact on the headband so that it could move flexibly. But the issue is that the hot glue simply doesn't stick to the material.

Me and my friend are planning on doing a Saiki k duo cosplay, but I can’t find a reasonably priced outfit in my size (expected). I’m a uk size 16 (google to convert if you aren’t using UK sizes), I don’t necessarily need to buy it all in one set I don’t mind buying a shirt from one website, skirt from another, and neckpiece from another.

I don’t have an incredibly large budget, so far I’ve already got £49 worth of stuff (shoes, socks, wig, glasses.)

Any help is greatly appreciated, I don’t mind what website they’re from as everything so far is from shein because I’m trying to spend as little as possible!! ❤️
