Now, I'm not a cosplayer, but I can't help but wonder if it's common to have that many fire incidents while making clothes from characters who don't exist
As a cosplayer, I feel like everyone has their own poison. The most common is hot glue burning your hands. Mine happens to be the indefinite cosplay crunch I am in whenever I make mine. 😅
@@ThePianoBoysInterestingHandle mine is ending up with superglue on my fingers. I don't even use superglue. Also, blood. I've bled on a lot of my cosplays when making them.
i have not yet started a fire...yet. but i have burnt my thumb in the exact same place 5 times with the glue gun, i worry that i will soon lose my fingerprints
@@ThePianoBoysInterestingHandle literally I have burn on my thigh after the glue fell off the foam ;(
It's so funny to hear people say "but I didn't know how to sew...." for their first cosplay stories since I remember that just like, not even coming up in my mind for my first cosplays lol. Granted I had taken some sewing classes 5 years earlier and my mom knew how to sew/let me use her sewing machine, but "of course I'll sew this, that's what a pattern is for, of course I'll buy a wig, my hair isn't pink" was definitely my line of thinking as a 17 year old back in 2008 lol.
I just started cosplay last year, I was cosplaying Marcy (amphibia) This year, I’m making a Luz (Owl House) cosplay for a con this October!
Omg the Owl House and Amphibia my favourite shows ever :OO
That’s so cool!
I love Amphibia!!! That sounds cool!!
awesome!
Ayy, I went as Marcy just last Halloween!
You need to make sure to honor the fallen show
Best one out there
The moment I heard you say that Jupiter is best girl, I had a big smile on my face. I've been cosplaying Sailor Jupiter since 2017 and I even met her voice actress back in '22. I still think back to that moment, smiling
Ah yes, cosplay. I don’t know the amount of times I burned myself with a hot glue gun working on a fursuit. It hurt really bad. I got a blister one time :’)
this reminds me of that one time i accidentally hot glued a little fabric hat to my finger in midleschool, i was not smart enough to pull it off carefully so i just ripped it off with a pretty big piece off skin, lol
@@wilmerfa2734 ouch. That sounds like it hurts.
@@jimbogimbo69 L x2
The bane of every fursuit maker’s existence….. the hot glue gun…
Lol I hope it came out well though!
@@faenene it’s still a work in progress, but the pants are almost perfect! Yea, it’s in different pieces. There’s a shirt, pants, and the paws. Oh and we furred some crocs for the feet paws.
Such funny stories! Glad nobody got seriously injured from any of the fires.
I've only cosplayed one time but it was very special to me. A group of friends and I all dressed up as Team Rocket grunts! We brought plushies in little pokeballs and challenged every other pokemon cosplayer we saw! Cosplaying is so much more fun when you do it with friends, i Couldn't have done it without them! :D
Ohh that sounds so fun! Cosplaying with friends definitely sounds awesome
Ive never gone to a cosplay con, but I did cosplay as Marx (Kirby Super Star) for a Ren fair/fantasy fair once. The outfit was originally a home Halloween costume, but since I loved the character so much and he is a jester, I found that this was another opportunity. I was happy that i got recognized by several people. I remember that someone said "I don't know if this is the character your going as, but I like your Marx cosplay!"
aaUUGH! i love watching your videos star! i listen to them ALL THE TIME when drawing since i find them rather therapeutic and they help me get into the zone creatively. keep up the great work!
that’s nice I do that to it helps me not stress for some reason idk why I stress anyway or why she helps it to
You reminded me of the one cosplay I've always wanted to do-- I highly doubt I'll ever do it what with budget constraints and my own embarrassment but it's a fun thought
O_O well...your stories remind me of my cosplay nightmares.
I cosplayed Miss Kobayashi in 2019 as part of a memory for my sister who was a fan. She passed in Oct. of 2019 so I had to. It is also a cosplay I had to do
You have my condolences, friend.
Also, how was the cosplay?
Absolutely cosplay your streaming avatar, you can claim it's for work :D It looks really cool!
If you can find a smaller event to attend, I don't think it would harm to not be in work-mode the whole time. You need time to actually have fun, to enjoy yourself. This is why some people actually bring friends with them who agree to take over the stall for a while. You both get the chance to have a look yourself, and well, if you bring with you a costume (or even just an outfit?) you can change into, you might actually be able to go around incognito ^^
My first con was a local con a little over a year ago where I cosplayed sea Hawk from she ra (sewed a trim to a Jean jacket, bought a wig for vi from arcane a bullcrapped the styling, glued fabric onto the mask for a mustache) and went with a friend who cosplayed Jude from the cruel prince. It was so much fun, and I’ve gone back twice now!
That’s so cool!
30:40 what about... the CastoffCon?👀
or maybe just cosplays of its charachters? 👀
the second you said monster hunter cosplay i looked up from what i was drawing so fast and so intently that i swear if i was a cat my ears would have been perked up times 1000
I’m over here watching this video whilst casually back stitching the hood onto a cloak I’m making for my cosplay that I’m going to wear to ren-fair this year
I had a similar disaster when making purity seals, nearly burned my house down to scorch the edges of one
OMG I completely loved the Avatar gang hahahaha, btw amazing illustrations !!! I love your art style!!!
Oh yeah my family (yes both of my parents used to do cosplay) did a group cosplay of team avatar in.... 2009?
The guy with the eyepatch has GoodTimesWithScar energy
Some won’t ever experience cosplay crunch, but it is horrible, I remember finishing my cosplay the hour before I had to go
I still won tho
@@TheCherryClown worth?
@@babycarrotz32 I mean,
Kinda
I love these stories so much ❤
Makes me think of my first sewing attempt (in highschool) turning a winter vest I owned into a vest from Naruto so I could cosplay Iruka.
Also omg all the work I put into making a Millennium Ring out of sculpy and (horribly) styling my own wig and creating an outfit for a Ryou Bakura cosplay lol
“I know what the smell is. ITS GUMBALLS.” I’m dying 😭
My favorite so far was a Snake Eyes costume. I made bits of armor and a sword out of Eva foam and velcroed the armor onto a long sleeved black shirt. It took a few months I think, working on it off and on after work. I'm really proud of how it turned out and though I didn't get recognized as much as I thought I would, it was still a blast and a half.
Ooooooh, snake eyes, he's awesome.
@@megatron8449 thanks! He totally is!!
I dont cosplay, but I've made a few costumes for Halloween which I love. My favorite has to be an Okami Amaterasu cosplay. I even made the original Reflector and it turned out well I believe! But I'm definitely a newbie when it comes to costume creation
Just got back into cosplay after the whole covid thing, and I made my first hand made one! Others were either bought, closet cosplay or made by others for an idol group I was in. First ever cosplay was Chiaki from Danganronpa (in 2016 or 2017, I forgot lol), and the most recent cosplay was Fuuta from Milgram (finished a little over a week ago XD).
Took 2 weeks of trial and error, con crunching and the classic concoction of blood, sweat and tears. Many late nights and yelling at the thread or my own mistakes, but I am so proud of it. One thing I learnt is to probably not sear your edges with fire when you used very flameable glue haha. My fingers survived don't worry. People came up for photos and said it was good, I was so proud! Planning many others, and I hope to improve my skill and hopefully not forget to do the one thing multiple times lol.
i've kinda had a passive interest in cosplay ever since i got into anime back in middle school, but i started taking it more seriously around when covid restrictions started to lessen and in person events could happen again !
i had done a few cosplays before that here and there ???? none of them were really super serious (only one wasn't for either halloween or purim), but they were fun and looking back probably helped a lot in making me interested in actually cosplaying ^^
especially since the first character i ever dressed up as (ichigo from tokyo mew mew) is currently at the top of my to cosplay list fgsdjfg i'm just way way way too new to sewing to confidently make it myself at the moment :')
i have a few work in progress ones i'm working on (two kagamine rin cosplays and a chainsaw man power cosplay to get the hang of sewing), and i've been having a lot of fun so far !! granted each time i dealt w cosplay crunch wo the satisfaction of actually . wearing the cosplay i made . but i'm still learning and at least in power's case i already owned the important pieces i needed or was able to find them in person easily enough so it wasn't all that bad ( ^^)b
but as far as memories go, the first cosplay i ever wore to a con was a klee genshin impact cosplay i bought from a taobao store. it was the first time i was ever going to a con actually, and when i found out about their cosplay masquerade i signed up for it ! having been involved in theatre since middle school, i planned to read the first birthday letter she sends to the player character as a monologue. i even made sure to time it to her theme since it kinda matched the dialogue
it was really fun talking to everyone participating during the rehearsal, and i still remember another performer asking me if i was interested in va work after seeing my practice run. genuinely it was So So Sweet fkjsdhf
by the time the masquerade was happening i was a bit nervous ???? bc while i had been in shows before and ive had individual lines before that point i think that was the first time i had ever been on a stage in front of a crowd on my own. so i was kinda nervous ! kinda a little shaky ! but when i gestured for the person in charge of tech to start my backing track i immediately got such a warm response from the members of the crowd who saw me ?????? it didn't ease my nerves exactly but it made me a little less anxious. i went in for fun not really expecting to win so it kinda really surprised me when i placed third !! especially since they made it clear that craftsmanship was a deciding factor in scores and i just bought mine
i haven't really been in another masquerade since (i have ideas for other performances though), but klee is still a go to cosplay of mine for cons that are within driving distance. i even got recognized for it once by someone which was kinda super surreal !! but also really really cool fdjksh
otherwise, i also had a really fun time cosplaying power for a group about a month ago w some of my friends ! i wasn't able to finish making her cosplay myself (i still have the fabric just kinda . sitting waiting to be used), but i made sure to plan in advance for it even if it meant i had to get rid of her jacket and scythe. looking back it was probably for the best too fhsdkf it was hot and humid and we weren't staying in the hotel the con was based at
i wasn't even really sure if i was gonna cosplay on the first day or if i was gonna wear a jfashion outfit since it wasn't our planned group day ??? but morning of i decided to go w the cosplay and i'm So Glad i did looking back. two one of my friends and i ended up going to a little gameshow panel ??? and they had a little anime dances segment. i thought it would be for iconic anime dances from the early 2000s and 2010s??????? things like the lucky star dance and hare hare yukai. maybe even luka luka night fever if they wanted to bring vocaloid into it so i raised my hand and dragged my friend who was cosplaying denji up w me !
it wasn't that ?????? the oldest thing they had was smth from nichijou and apart from maybe the chika dance i didn't recognize anything. but it was fine since by the time we got to the last dance every group up was tied for points. the gameshow host asked us if we liked memes for the last one and i immediately thought it'd be the persona specialist dance ????? it wasn't but it was fine since it was a dance my friend actually knew and practiced. he won us the round and two plushies (a flareon and gray dog) which are relevant for the rest of the story i promise fhksdfh
despite chainsaw man being as popular as it is the con didn't have a cosplay meetup for it ????? which was fine but it was a little strange seeing as they had some meets for some series that i'm interested in but have only ever seen mentioned in super specific art communities. i was literally the only one in the group who even knew one of them existed. i guess some other csm cosplayers thought the same thing, and two of them decided to host their own unofficial meetup that first day!
my friend (the one cosplaying denji) and i did not know about it until while we were literally on our way out to regroup and get dinner. a different power cosplayer asked us if we were going to the meetup ???? w only a picture of the convention center for a reference of where to go ??????? but we said yeah sure why not and let the rest of our group know before going
it ended up being really fun !!
the hosts were really lively and welcoming of everyone who came in, and they were also really open to ideas for photos to take (and also made sure to be careful of spoilers for anyone who might not have read the manga). they also let us take pictures w the plushies my friend and i won earlier that day as bootleg companions fjshdf the flareon became pochi as a pochita stand in, and the dog became eowy (pronounced yaoi) as a meowy stand in since at least as far as colors went they matched ( ^^)b
it's a bit of a shame that it wasn't the day of our full group cosplay ?? but it was still fun cosplaying as the main trio for the series and we even had a photographer walking around ask for our picture :D
idk who i'll cosplay next ??? maybe i'll finally get around to finishing my rin cosplays or maybe i'll be silly and goofy and put everything on my list off to work on a cosplay for klee's new skin. or maybe my next one will be another group cosplay whenever i start talking about con plans w my friends again! regardless i'm really looking forward to it ^^
also all of your cosplays are So So So Cool !!! genuinely they're smth to look up to as someone currently learning to sew. i'm taking notes on how you made some of them too fshkf like i'll be sure to stay away from using food or other perishable for any pieces but going forward i'll also keep in mind that you can actually weather fabric and use markers to dye things (even if you have to be careful with how and where you do it). if you ever get end up making a cosplay of your vtuber avatar, i'd really love to see it !!
(btw sorry for leaving such a massive comment fhskjdf)
I’ve just started your webcomic AND OH MY GOSH VECTOR REMINDS ME OF A CHARACTER I HAVE HES SUCH A BEAN AHHHHHHH I’m sorry I love him. I love everyone introduced so far, you are an inspiration
Wow, oshinoko opening on 24:20
❤
Very well done cosplays ❤️ also now hopefully your fan base will never ask for a Face Reveal ever again lol
I started making my Zagreus cosplay this year, I'll be continuing making the sword once I go home from college! I also plan to start making an Isaac Foster cosplay soon, as well as an Elektra cosplay for a potential comic con trip!
The dramatic irony, working on a cosplay; I'm far too behind on, with a time crunch of 12 days while watching this video.
Cosplaying has always been one of those things i would absolutely LOVE to do, but im completely clueless about where to start with sewing clothes
It just seems like such a hard and tedious thing to actually do and the fact that im really fat doesn't help either D:
I’ve only done one cosplay so far so I’m relatively new to the whole cosplay community. Though I am very proud of the cosplay that I have done. It was a Hawks cosplay from the anime my hero academia. I was super proud of the wings considering I made them from scratch. Over all I’m really excited to cosplay again
Love the new video Star!
I’ve always wanted to cosplay at a con before by never had the funds or time to make one. As my spouse heading overseas in a month I can’t come see you at galaxycon like I was planning but I hope to meet you in person in my first ever cosplay next year instead of you decide to do any.
Your videos and streams always bring a smile to my face!!😊
I have made exactly two cosplays, both of which I only wore once in the comfort of my own bedroom: Hunter from The Owl House, and Connor from Detroit: Become Human.
I did the most planning for Hunter, taking my sibling's spare elf ears and cutting the slit out as well as giving some dimension with reds and blues. I also did some stuff on my face for his eyebags (not that I didn't already have some of those myself) and some dirt and scratches. I was specifically cosplaying the outfit he wears after deserting the Emperor's Coven in the episode Labyrinth Runners, so I wanted to look rather worn down.
For Connor, it was an idea I had the same hour I put it together (I think I may have been running a high temperature at this point) and had very minimal details. I definitely had other colours, but could only find blue face paint to use for it, which worked fine given what colour thiruim (Android blood) is, though I did almost stain all of my carpet blue.
Overall I really enjoyed both ventures, and I really do want to do more cosplays, but that's all I managed so far.
If it makes you feel any better... I've never cosplayed (but I enjoy watching competitions), but I was once on a business trip to Albany, NY. There was some kind of big festival happening one of the weekends I was there, so I threw on a pair of shorts & a tee and headed over to pretty much the opposite end of the city... on foot. I was wandering around for a good 2-3 hours and sat down on the grass near the old canal to listen to a band that was playing... and glanced down to realize that my shorts were, to borrow your expression, two leg tubes only loosely attached to each other by the zipper in front. I'd apparently been walking around like that for at least an hour because I suddenly realized what that "hmm, that felt weird" moment had been when I made a big step up to climb over a small retaining wall. I had to walk *blocks* back to the hotel, trying to hide my thoroughly exposed underwear with just a small backpack and a couple of pieces of paper.
Thanks for sharing! 🎉 I've done some cosplays and played with sfx makeup and improv as a themepark horror-maze actress which was a lot of fun. ❤
My most complicated cosplay was Kaneki Ken from Tokyo Ghoul. I thrifted and weathered the outfit and used cardboard, tape and thin foam to create these big tentacle-thingies covered in scales (called "kagune), sticking out my back. I even made a type of harness out of an old backpack + plastic table leg bases + fishing strings to keep everything in place. 😎
I didn't win any prizes but I had a ton of people wanting to take a photos, touch or ask about the prop. And even met up with some strangers cosplaying from the same show to take a big group photo. It was a lot of fun, even though I had to sit the opposite way on chairs and get help from my friends when moving around the convention. 😂
I haven't been to a con since 2019 actually (studies, tha rona, work), but I'm going to one this August actually! And it's a con on a cruise between Norway and Denmark, I just know it's going to be fun😍
I love you art so much but i find it so funny and i cant unsee that for the first drawing her hand thats holding a paper looks like a lego hand.😂😂. Keep up the good work though!
I swear the music around 27:11 is a version of the oshi no ko theme
I've only started cosplaying two years ago and man I can relate to the mess that is crafting costumes in my room! It also didn't help that I decided to start out with friggin Boba Fett but I digress😂
This year I dressed as Din Djarin and I still find pieces of eva foam everywhere (and I almost set the house on fire with my heatgun and hot glue gun, yeah fun times😅)
It was worth it tho, I had people coming up asking me if I was part of the professional star wars cosplay group that had a stand at the con, so that was a success!
I once had a cosplay of an inkling girl from splatoon that i wore a lot. Like a lot a lot. The shorts were made out of a random stretchy fabric i got from some old yoga pants of mine. I made the skin tight shorts and i button up shirt from the game along with the classic standard shirt and the blue sneakers.
I wore this thing as a childball the time for all kinds of things, sometimes even around the house. Eventually me and some family were celebrating Karneval. It's a common holdiday to celebrate in Germany which is where i lived. Now this was in February i think 2017 ?
I was lioe maybe 11 years old and was having the time of my life when suddenly the the fabric around my upper inner thigh ripped. It wore down over time because i wore it so much.
I ran crying to my mom and she immediately gave me her jacket to tie it around my waist. We were an hour drive away from home and our car was a 15 minute walk away. By the time we got home around 3 hours later (we didn't immediately go back to the car) my inner thighs were bright red and almost bloody from rubbing against eachother and leftover strings of fabric. It was terrible and possibly the worst thing i experienced in cosplay.
Ive never made any cosplays but i do like animal costumes and i want to get good at that, but I 100% lack the materials so I've been waiting for years to be able to eventually work on this dream.
I made my first cosplay a few weeks ago as of writing this and oh lord, i can’t sew for the life of me either. Which is ironic because my aunt does this as a profession. So i was handling the ropes of sewing together some…crappy old shirt that smelled like beer and cheese and then adding some acrylic paint, not fabric paint, on top. I was cosplaying König from Call of Duty (CoD) and boy oh boy…the smell of that shirt still haunts me. I don’t wear it often for good reason 😭
I dont really cosplay but on time the church that i'm going to had a halloween party where you could dress upp( though only as caracters from the bible). I dressed upp as David from before he fought Goliat, I dont remember how it looked but if i find a pitchure i can notify.
📯INTERNET WAKE UP A NEW STAR VIDEO IS OUT📯
I’ve never done a full on cosplay, but I’ve worn outfits inspired by character for conventions. My favorite one was one I did for Astrid from How to Train Your Dragon. I walked around with a costume shield and sword as well my Toothless plushie.
I learned about cosplaying back at Anime Iowa way back around 2001 or so, and immediately filled my brain with grand plans, but never did anything about it. BUT...last year I finally managed to plan ahead and made a costume for Dragoncon! I made and wore an Owlbear costume! Full cotton pajama suit, that was then covered in thick fur and feathers, and a large foam headpiece. In Atlanta. In the middle of the summer. My sanity was (rightfully) questioned, but it was amazing to hear the comments and see people get excited to talk to me, and I had a great time!
I haven't been to any cons so the closest I have to cosplaying is a Carmen Sandiego (the reboot version) for Halloween, a Catra costume (She-Ra and the Princesses of Power) for a different Halloween, and Stephen Strange (from the Marvel movies duh) for the following Halloween. All of them were very amateur and I had help for most of them - I was very proud of how I jerry-rigged a white sunhat into a Carmen Sandiego fedora using red felt though.
My dream cosplay at the moment is probably Alastor (Hazbin Hotel) which I'm planning to do this year, hopefully I manage to make it as show-accurate as possible lol!
Yay, I get so excited when I hear of folks who remember when Momo Con was just at GA Tech!
1:51 Amen, we Stan the Queen
I've never done cosplay before (Atlanta, too hot for that, I dunno how you do it), but I wanted to get a Dr Teeth together for Dragoncon this year. Buuut, it's a little late now. Maybe next year.
I'm not a cosplayer but I absolutely want to cosplay as Samus Aran from Metroid. Specifically her base power suit from Metroid Zero Mission. The power suit just looks so good and I want to have that to use whenever I go to a con or use it for Halloween.
people who came from the face reveal yt short

I'm relatively new to cosplay (I've got about 4 costumes I've made so far?) And my favorite as of yet is my Miku costume. Made entirely by hand, the only things I bought were a pair of cream colored tights to attach the black fabric to to make the socks, black shoes with a slight heel, the tie, and the wig. And each of those three things were modified in some way shape or form. Otherwise it was completely hand made with shiny fabrics and glittery paint. That's not my favorite part though. My favorite part is I lines the hair bands, skirt, shoes, and armbands with fairy lights so Miku can glow! As painful as that costume can be (dollar store slightly too big heels + massive heavy wig = owww), I'm very very proud of it. And in the contest I entered it into I got second place! (I was beat out by and Edward elric, but they had this really cool extendable prop that looked like a transmutation, which was so cool that I'm not even slightly upset about that 🤣)
I feel like the only bit of “armor” my characters have is shoulder pads. I don’t know why I like metal shoulder pads so much they just look so cool.
Also, gloves… that’s all I’ll say.
So if I were to ever cosplay as my own characters you can guarantee there’s gonna be a lot of shoulder pads, and gloves.
Black metal shoulder pads, and black fingertipless gloves.
The song "Idol" from hoshi no ko in the backround had me jammin bro
Omg you did bravely default!!! I still have a half finished cosplay from that in my closet
That ripped pants story slowly caused my neck to recoil into my shoulders as I realized that unlike in SpongeBob…pants don’t always let you know if they ripped or not…and of course…when they do…THE LAST THING YOU WANNA DO IS DO THE CHICKEN DANCE OR WHATEVER AND MAKE IT WORSE!!! However, as embarrassing as ripping your pants can be, at least if they make a ripping sound, you can attend to it immediately! But when they are slowly and silently unraveling…(or even just rip silently)
That just sounds MORTIFYING!!! (I think I’d implode from embarrassment before SpongeBob even crosses my mind if I discovered my pants had ripped LONG AFTER THEY ACTUALLY RIPPED!!!) Not that being able to catch it immediately is any better, but at least you can attend to it as best you can before anything serious happens…hopefully…
In fact, while I don’t think I ever ripped my trousers (in public at least, thank gosh!) I do think I wore my jeans on backwards when I went to the movies once! It was Horton Hears a Who, and I was so excited before, during, and after the movie that I didn’t realize my back pockets were in the front until I got home and was in my bedroom! And in that moment my heart almost stopped, and I think I fell on my face on my bed in embarrassment!!! I felt the zipper on the back…and I that is why I double check where the tag is on all of my clothing!!!😅😅😅
I did my first real cosplays this year. I did Silver from Twisted Wonderland on the first day and on the second I did Chiaki Morisawa from Ensemble Stars. On the first day my sister and I were in a photoshoot that another twst fan had and I have photos and nice memories from it. We ended up walking around with a bunch of twst fans from the photoshoot and had a good time showing them were the merch for it was. On the second day when we were Chiaki and Kanata from Ensemble Stars we met up with my sister's online friend who was dressed as Eichi from the same anime. We met other Enstars fans and we ended up getting little boxes with a random mochi keychain in it. We ended up getting Chiaki and Kanata, the characters we dressed as. The two fans we were with and the two of us were freaking out positive. Next year I want to do some more since I had a good time and it helped me to get closer to my sister. I want to dress as Samatoki Aohitsugi from Hypnosis Mic next year along with my sister as either Gentaro or Ramuda from the same anime.
I DREAM of cosplaying either as Link or as Zelda from totk
Im trying to do cosplay more i really anjoy it so im interested in hearing these stories. (Just started the vid)
this video was really nice to watch/listen to while i was drawing.
coincidentally, i just today finished my only second ever cosplay, as possessed!Hunter from the owl house!
and its come out so much better than i ever could have imagined. Ive been working on it almost every day for over a month, almost two months, and my work has really paid off! I'm even in the process of hand painting 30 clay figures of Hunter's palismans, flapjack and waffles! (15 of each) to give to people i see at a con in just a few weeks! ill be keeping them in two drawstring bags that i also made myself attached to my belt!
my first ever cosplay was a year ago, when i cosplayed as Wirt from over the garden wall, which i stitched entirely by hand because i didn't know how to use a sewing machine, still didn't know how until a classmate showed me a few weeks ago when she noticed me trying and failing miserably to hand stitch a pair of gloves and offered to teach me the basics of using a sewing machine lmao
I was watching this while working on my aqua hoshino cosplay, and the shots story reminded me to check the seam... thanks for reminding me to check
Ive had my fair share of accidents with heat guns (although they were mostly involved model trains projects and 3d printing) and the worst was a few months ago when i gave myself a second degree burn Because the heat gun hook is right next the garbage can and throwing away tape with plastic stuck it is surprisingly difficult
i've started to do cosplay, but it's not much, i know how to sew so i made an assassins creed themed cosplay, thinking on improving that... it's also my first cosplay.
My dad actually created an anime convention called Kumoricon in college. It's really cool and I'm going again in november. The moment you are in a 5 mile radius of the convention center, even a whole day before it starts, there are cosplayers EVERYWHERE. I counted 48 people dressed as Anya which was a bit wierd, but ok.
I've been wanting to get into cosplay and I'm thinking about doing a mushroom fairy one for an upcoming Ren fair.
Ah, reminds me of my first cosplay. Me and my family are all crafters and we decided to cosplay Farscape , I was D'argo and a pretty cute one too since I was only 10 and the shortest in our group. Our best cosplay was definitely The Dark Crystal, I was Deet with a fizzgig hand puppet made out of a real racoon skin hat and we had an epic skecsis head that we had our dad carry while covered in curtains. Pretty much the whole convention recognized us. We almost always make our cosplays and props ourselves but unfortunately our anime cosplays never get a lot of recognition
I love the oshi no ko music playing in the background
I'm trying to be a Disney princess this year
Hey star, I've been watching your vids for a few months to help get through regular ol school and I used to only do cosplays for Halloween and it was usually a group cosplay with my parents and sister but my first ever cosplay (outside of costume days at school and Halloween) where I actually went to a convention I did Haruhi Fujioka and I had so many people ask for pictures but I was the only Ouran cosplayer in the whole convention and this year I'm thinking of doing Jill Valentine from Re1! Love your vids and love the cosplays you showed in this funny vid! ☺️
I think the closest I've come to actually cosplaying would be when I wore my blue lantern hoody and a blue lantern ring made from the remains of a ring pop to my local library's comic con. it was pretty fun if a bit warm, I even knew(know) the oath.
I've also worn a cloak my gma made for me a few times but I'm not sure if that counts as cosplay.
and after watching this, part of me is tempted to cosplay Nepeta from Homestuck(probably wouldn't do the skin though because... yeah) to the comic con this year
oh hey i feel like in the street hopper story a couple sentences were matched up to the atmosphere the music set thats cool
I've been wanting to get into cosplay and things like it, so this seems kinda useful to watch, thanks!
Aang was DEDICATED.
Omg Kaleidostar!!!!!!
25:11 Hamilton reference I see you
i want to get into cosplay really bad. my sister is into it and i acted as their minder, carrying cosplay repair kits and water and stuff for them. they cosplay sakura from card captors mostly. my dream cosplay is moon envoy from yu-gi-oh, but i think thats still too complicated for me to attempt. i cosplayed decedueye once! it was awful! the cosplay looked.... nice... but it was one of those custom made things and i'm pretty sure the person was told "owl with a hood and wings made of leaves" and not "decedueye". the most uncomfortable thing i have ever worn, i can relate to not being able to sit lol!
I have no idea how to sew or even begin cosplaying, but I would love to one day :)
This reminds me soooo much like my cosplay journey 😅
i have onl cosplayed makomo from demon slayer, i might work on either a male mitsuri cosplay or a female muichiro- ALSO I JUST REALIZED THE BACKGROUND SONG IS IDOL!!!!
WOOO new video!
im not joking i screamed when you mentioned rf4 right after i went to a con dressed as a shitty dolce-
The COMMITMENT of that Aang
I’ll be honest, with my first (probably) actual attempt at a cosplay, I’m going pretty safe with it, but Magolor is cool, right?
The background music gave me a jolt of nostalgia. Does anyone know what it is. (I’m specifically talking about the first one.)
I've wanted to do cosplay for my whole childhood. I've done only a few and finished 2 (finished in quotes for one). When I was a kid I for Halloween I made a Nike Wilde cosplay that was thrift. I made ear but I had made them with floral foam so they sucked so badly which made it hard to do cosplay again really until now. I had also sprayed my hair with cheap walmart colored hair spray to turn it orange and black. For Halloween 2022 I finished a Stone Ocean Jotaro Kujo cosplay to wear to my friends party. I fucking love Jojo, Stone Ocean, and my man Jotaro so I had to make it and it's my most precious thing. It was the first time making clothes since high-school and I had most of the stuff like decorating a hat, crafted his little hand pin And bought the snakeskin pants and boots for it all so that summer now that I had more all i had left was his coat. I had did everything I could to just thrift and customize one but I couldn't find a base coat that I liked so I made one from scratch. I took a whole week measuring, sketching, and planning to make my own sewing pattern from scratch that fit my body. I made his chain from foam dowels and foam clay and hand painted the stars and Jojo sleeve stripes myself. It's far from perfect. The gold stripes are coming off and a lot of the seams are really bad and my cat peed on it for some reason. I still think the hat is almost series accurate. I put so much work into it. I also have half a DiU Jotaro costume and Gappys hat that I made on a whim. Jojo has to many stupid outfits that I plan to make more but I'm happy that I made my favorite of the whole series.
I was like "FF10 wasnt that long ago.... OH GODS!"
TRIGUN MENTION !!!!!!
I dressed up as a yellow Pikmin and a blue Pikmin for Halloween at work. Does that count as cosplaying?
I cosplayed Harry Potter once. The wig looked like a toilet brush but I have fond memories of it because it was my first cosplay
I used to do cosplay or rather my mother did when i was a little kid and then her health crapped out and she cant cosplay anymore although ive been wanting to do it
Hahah. I found azula star in the groups
no making fun BUT I was going as tartaglia from genshin impact with cat ears and a maid dress. Let's just say I wasn't very good at uhm crafting and I toke foil, made it into an animal ear shape like a cone and I hot glued it to the wig I bought for legit 15 dollars- and cut hair off the wig and glued it to the foils and pink construction paper for the insides. .....I didn't realize I only had one ear left till I got back to the hotel. I LOOKED LIKE A TARTAGLIS MAID UNICORN AND MY FRIENDS SAID THEY DIDNT TELL ME TO MESS WITH ME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
I have no idea if this counts, and I’m not much of a cosplayer, but it was still something. I had a bokuto (fake katana) laying around and decided I’d dress up as a swordsman for Halloween. Now who here’s seen demon slayer?
Cool. So I dress up as tanjiro during final selection. (I didn’t have a scar, mask, wig or earrings, but I had the robe and a sword) it was decent.
star you do know that the hiccup cosplay when it shrinks down you can see your face just saying in case your uncomfortable
Hey I’m also a cosplayer kinda, I’ve made one head peice so far of my cosplay and the rest isn’t done lol
I've never cosplayed before. There were attempts but they didn't really turned out to be anything. But I really want to cosplay Scorpia (She-Ra and the Princesses of Power), Olivier Armstrong (Fullmetal Alchemist), Lady Dimitrescu (Resident Evil Village) and Lisa (Genshin Impact).
I just need to start learning how to sew because I really want to make costumes myself. I hope this list of characters won't get any longer before I find the courage to make any of them.
