We have participants from all skill levels showing their work here so don't be shy about sharing, be that your fully made derp kitty costume or your sudden realisation that you have the same hairstyle as Emil. You can share your progress pictures as you go on, and ask for advice from more experienced cosplayers (or give advice if you have something to contribute), show us your funny photoshoot pictures and of course appreciate what everyone else is doing.
The unifom overanalyzing thread may be a useful resource for potential cosplayers:
https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=211.0
and non SSSS cosplays should be posted here:
https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=578.0
Now go forth and COSPLAY!

I'm a little scared to put this up here (and maybe this isn't even the right thread, but we don't have one for cosplays yet, even lazy ones...)Too cute to be the spitting image, but the hair is spot on! Also something about that disappointed "aaw man" expression is just extremely entertaining.

Post by: Sunflower on February 23, 2015, 10:21:40 PM
A while back I posted a super-lazy cosplay selfie of myself as Emil - and since I dressed up a bit for dinner tonight, I thought I'd do it again!
P.S. Skalds - is it maybe time for a cosplay thread?
Create one, and I bet you'll get more responses than you imagined! :) If any of you have cosplay posts you'd like moved there, just let me know. (Or copy your content into a new post and delete your old one, to be fully self-actualized.)
Remember, at heart we're an anarcho-syndicalist collective; (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8bqQ-C1PSE)"supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some... farcical aquatic ceremony!"
Which is to say, if creating a new thread seems like a good idea, go right ahead!

I think it's time for cosplay to have its very own thread on this Forum. (I'm open to moving it to General Discussion if we get any entries for ARTD.)
We've already had a few submissions already -- Gwenno, was that you dressed as Braidy? -- and I hope to see many more.
Haha yeah, that would be me ^_^ I was kinda hoping that me posting my less than amazing cosplay would make people less shy about posting their own cosplay pics ;D Guess maybe it worked to a degree, but hopefully having an actual thread for it we'll see the cosplay floodgates open at long last!
(http://pre13.deviantart.net/f349/th/pre/i/2015/073/b/8/braidy_cosplay_by_mursen-d8bgonx.jpg)
I've fixed this up a little bit since the last picture was taken, buuuuut my camera is slightly smashed from the bag of technological death (aka my ridiculously full backpack) so no pictures until I get a new photo-taking device. I'll also be wearing this to a few uk comicons this year (as well as dreamland Braidy, which should *hopefully* be done for scifi weekender next weekend :3 )
On that note, if anyone is going to any of the following cons please don't feel shy to say Halló! I think I'll be using the braidy cosplay for all of them so you'll be able to recognise me hopefully ^_^

I hope to have an Emil cosplay done by October, in time for either Halloween or New York ComicCon. I have no idea how to make a costume, but I got a black, fitted turtleneck, so that's step 1! If I go through with this, I'll post my progress here.
You could do the outfit he wore in Mora!
Also, should I repost my Emil pictures that were in the art thread? or can someone move those?

I pulled a closet Braidy cosplay out of my butt after seeing this thread. Forgive the awful wig, I only have two red-haired wigs and one of them is styled for Daphne (from Scooby Doo...) I actually really like having freckles and I wish I could draw them on permanently ahaThat's very nice for an ad-hoc cosplay. Perhaps some more braidy-esque expressions could bring it up a notch?

No cats were harmed in the taking of the pictures, though one innocent cosplayer had their stomach scratched up quite a bit. (thank you, uncooperative cat who isn't even canon anyway)

You should be able to make the flares with white and black paper and glue. Cut the white and black paper in strips as wide as the flares are supposed to be long. Maybe slightly wider. Roll the white on a thin wooden dowel rod (bamboo skewers work well). When you reach the end of the strip of paper glue the next strip to the end and continue rolling until it is as thick as you want it. Make the white core then the black layer then the white layer. Then cut some thinner strips to make the black bands and glue and roll them on. The outer band you want to glue completely down. You may want to make a solution half white glue and half water and dip the strips in it and then roll them on. Let dry for about a day. Trim ends if necessary. if they want to unroll you may have to use rubber bands or tie them shut with yarn but not so tightly that it makes them dimple.

Oh, no, I don't have problems with making the props, just the clothes (because I can't sew)! I already have an idea on how to make the flares, but thanks anyway.

Kind of, but not for the horses. For hunter shows, they judge you on how prettily you ride the horse (in a way?? Like, your form and such), for jumper courses, they don't care (you just have to get over the jumps the fastest), and for dressage, they judge you on your form and how well you complete the routine. There are halter horse shows that judge the horse only on how muscled they are (think bodybuilding) but those are awful and they tend to make really unhealthy horses with all sorts of defects.
(Probably a longer response than the question warranted, but I am a very enthusiastic child who doesn't know how to shut up)

This is particularly true of the Quarterhorse breed but not universal. In other breeds there is also balance and bone structure taken into account.

I've still quite a bit to do (more embroidery for the cloak, tunic and belt; doing something about shoes; decorate the cloak buttons; hemming the cloak edges; ALL the belt things…… yeah, there's a fair amount to get done), but at least to my eyes, it looks like it's getting there :3
I'm not a professional cosplayer, so don't expect anything up to THAT standard (heck, everything is hand sewn because I don't have access to a sewing machine!), but hopefully some people will think it's good enough, and maybe it will get people inspired to work on their own cosplay efforts as well ;D

Anyway, I'll be sure to post more pictures once I feel there's been enough progress to do so, and don't worry about creepy exclamation marks, my friends ask me if there's anything wrong whenever we message and my sentences don't end like this!!! ;D

braidy is real
This is soooo coooool! That's an amazing wig and I cannot believe you handsewed that. That is true dedication and really really impressive! You look great!*is blushing furiously because there are too many nice things being said* Actually this is my first time wearing a wig, and I was pretty worried I couldn't get it to look right, so I'm especially glad that you think it looks fine ^_^
Oh, you're welcome! (I was wondering if you'd referenced it, heh) Quite impressive, being hand-sewn! I do suspect I'll have to make a cosplay that way in the future...Haha, I could gush for hours on how useful those pictures were, and how much more difficult creating the costume would have been without them, but for now I'll just have to settle on "Thank you for your awesomeness Piney!". And please do show your cosplay pictures when you've done some work on it. If they're anything close to the standard of the art you create we'll have a lot to look forwards to I'm sure ;D (also, 'hand sewing high five' for your future endeavour!)

If that tutorial is the mark I left on this fandom, then I'm okay with that. :)
I was planning to post pictures once I have something. So far all I have is a black turtleneck, I don't even know where to start for the coat... but I'll get there! Although, I'm really an arts person, not a crafts person - and not exactly a natural at working with fabric :P

You guys, so cute, I can't even. Curry, that wig is awesome,don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Just say nice things to it and the baby braid will be sure to grow into a majestic Reynir braid some day!
I can't wait to see the final outfits when you guys are all done!
oh man but the thing is it is horrible. I got it from my friend who half brushed it out then boiled it (why) and it was Party City to begin with?? however me and freddiethefantastic are looking for a Proper Reynir Wig and she said that she found one that was like 150cm so. expect beautiful braidy pictures from both of us

Well ggguuurrrll, you know how to WORK it then, cuz the bangs on that wig are so fab! I can't even imagine owning a wig that long, its gonna be so heavy! D: You guys have to make sure you take ALL the photos for us when you are all done!

Wait, how did I miss this? That's a pretty sweet wig you had there, and an awesome Lalli-pose (most best!) ^_^ anyway I'm pretty sure it's impossible to have too much fun with the Lalli :P
I should be asleep, but I saw the chapter cover, and the dreamland uniform, and the complete epicness and I for some reason decided to put on the cosplay instead (actually, it's pretty understandable to be suddenly inspired by Minna's work, I'm sure you guys get it…)
Here we go anyway - cosplay progress report (short version - nearly there!) Also, my camera is still broken, so crummy laptop pictures for now :P
All the cosplay:

HHHEY GUYS I'M HERE AGAIN WITH MORE DUMB PICTURESOh my stars Curry, you basically are Sigrun, what is this sorcery?? ?? ?? The truth comes out, Sigrun is actually based off of you.
This is just a makeup test for Sigrun (and me doing Lots Of Stupid Things) and the wig isn't even styled yet (DOING THAT THIS WEEKEND...) but?? Gotta keep this thread active :I anyways HERE IS A WHOLE LOT OF MY FACE
((A WHOLE BUNCH OF REALLY STUNNING PICTURES))
also hhhhhhhhhhhh can we please talk about how on point your makeup is though? Because wowie (also btw real hair game is so strong omg you make me want to grow out my own hair). Like delinquent Sigrun is actually going to kill me with their overpowering gorgeousness, rip me. Ngl, that wig is so pretty but I can't wait for when it is cut+styled because then we really will have a 100% canon Sigrun and it will be amazingg

Well aint that just the awesome, you wear the wig and character very naturally and your poses are quite Sigrun-esque indeed! ^_^ When you get round to the full cosplay please please please do the book poses as well because I actually burst out laughing when I saw that! That's a great shirt as well by freddiethefantastic, in fact a most best shirt if ever I saw one :)

I wore the only clothes I thought would work for Reynir that were in arms reach at the moment: a sweatshirt with R on it. How clever.

Bonus: I did a bit of delinquent Reynir. Unfortunately, there is no Curry design for this yet, so I just kind of winged it

Eternal apologies for the mirror ones! They came out way blurrier and badly lit than I expected! ((Also check out those rad pants I made, that I may or may not end up using for something with Lalli))

Wow I finally did a Reynir makeup test, but alas, my wig is 0% styled, sooo.... it looks like trash. Forgive me please.
[HOT HOT TATER TOT]
WOW YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!! The wig also looks AWESOME even unstyled, so no doubt it will bring true tears to the eyes of onlookers once done up properly B) The freckles look great and hot dang delinquent makeup looks even greater?? Go you freddie! I actually cannot wait for this weekend let's just do actually everything in cosplay and call it legit

This isn't really a cosplay, I was just going to bed the other night and thought my hair looked particularly Reynir-y. It was looking floofy, and my bangs were doing a fabulous fwoosh in the front. So I channeled my inner Braidy and took some cruddy photos with my phone camera (the lighting wasn't great, being nighttime), so they are kinda poop. My hair is pretty red anyways, but the colors got murdered by the camera, and yaaaay for smudgy eyes. But ehhh, it was before bed, and these were just for fun.

Aside from the missing braid that's a spot-on look actually. If you grew your hair a little you could probably cosplay as Sigrun too.

Not sure how it would look parted down the middle, and some hairspray would definitely have to happen to get that perfect flip at the bottom. Our glorious captain has the most-best hair!

OOPS, DOUBLEPOSTS, BUT WITH MORE PICTURES??
I was Haiz's femmil design while my Emil was playing video games and in no need of wig. This basically consisted of me putting on even more eyeliner and lipstick on only my top lip. Why? it looked like that in Haiz's drawing okay
and this is also very important

Yes. Tis I, the braid boy.
You can resize things?? I asked on tumblr and no one told me how to do stuff Dx
But the Emil expression is my favourite and I found a page in the comic where he was making the same expression when looking at explosives XD

I spent a rather large chunk of the weekend assembling an at-home Sigrun cosplay! And also had a crash-course in wig styling! The wig turned out...ok. I couldn't find one with a center part, and couldn't change this one, so eh. Just pretend. Also, the outfit isn't true to the comic, but I feel it's in keeping with the spirit. I was quite pleased with how it all turned out!
Oooh, that's really good! :D I like that the flippy parts are kind of random and not all in one direction :3 makes it more realistic I think

From what we've seen in the comic so far people have many possible clothing option, that could be her home wear. Well done on wig styling!

From what we've seen in the comic so far people have many possible clothing option, that could be her home wear. Well done on wig styling!
I dunno about Sigrun, but that shirt is ridiculously comfortable, so it's going to be a regular part of my own home-wear. And thanks! It's my first wig, so I'm thrilled that everyone likes it.

Yes, next stop, the real uniform. I'm thinking of finding an off-the-shelf, white, outdoorsy, technical coat and then modifying it. And we do need some Mikkels up in here! Tuuris too!
Truly, this is the most best!
Aw, thanks! Tseb tsom!
Meghan, what are you talking about? That wig is freaking PERFECT.
I seriously can't say how glad I am the people like it. The wig started life as a "Pin Curl Cutie Wig." AKA a flapper wig. Which I find hilarious, because if Sigrun had been born about 150 years earlier, I can definitely see her as a flapper.
Much Sigrun! Many Pretty! Wow!
Such knife! Most best oatmeal utensil!

*clears throat*
And now we see the wild Adrai, its attention captured by an array of images. Note the widening and twitching of its eye, the incoherent babbling. This is a sure sign that it is in a state of shock. Its hands have begun to move, gesturing wildly - though some might call this a mating dance, it is more likely a show of appreciation for fine art. We see now that it has collapsed, foaming at the mouth. Recent studies have shown that this is an attempt to process sights that are classified in scientific circles as "absafreakinlutely amazing".

It looks like it'll work really well for Reynir! I look forward to seeing the full ensemble ;).

I am hoping to get a bit more floof into this wig, but I already love it so much! It's so soft and the braid is so long! Credit for wig styling goes to Curry, and our pal Sami, who I may have heard is on the forum, but I am not sure???? Sorry! I will edit this later once I find out

Wow I got some new eyeshadows, so of course the first thing I did was a silly, non canon, maybe sort of delinquent Reynir makeup test. I mean, nothing else would be logical, am I right?!

I have an intense need to cosplay Lalli
Huehue I feel the need and I indulged myself and I do not regret it at all. I highly recommend, 10/10
ALSO guys do you realize that I have closet cosplayed 5/6 of the main cast? Because I feel like that is an important thing to be stated. Because I've done it and I shall be Mikkel at some point too just for shits and giggles.

...Is it weird that I can imagine that?
Post by: Curry on June 25, 2015, 10:05:37 PM
Yes, definitely test before you put any heat to it. Otherwise you might end up with a melted wig!! (And I think the things you were talking about are called curling irons. Hair curlers might work in addition to hairspray, though, if the wig can't take heat)TEST IT SOMEWHERE IT WON'T SHOW BECAUSE BELIEVE ME WIGS WILL MELT
I know. I have melted many a wig in my inexperienced wig styling days. A good way to style heat sensitive wigs is hairspray, or a blowdryer to gently hear and cool the wig strands into place.
*Is trying to imagine Curry as Mikkel* Please make this happen. I need to see this in real life. ;D
I shall. My brother will be the Mikkel of my SSSS cosplay group, so there's no reason I can't borrow his cosplay every now and then once I make it ;)

Hmmm, perhaps... Is it all my terrible dad jokes?

I might cut it a bit again later, when I get a proper head (friend's help??) because on top of some rolled blanket wasn't the best xD
also styling was only with some spray and dryer.
and yes, I gut the long braid... it is really un-comb-able, so I dunno what to do with it, probably braid it once again and keep?????? maybe can be used for something else??

The cosplay is amazing by the way - the sweater is spot on and actually styling your own hair is some next level dedication. It just needs some more back-scratching.
Follow up questions though: a) what book is that b) is that a rock on stilts in the background?

Noted, next time I'll bully my hair so thoroughly it'll keep form if it rains on me and that's a promise!
The book is Ósköpin öll (a bit hard to translate but ósköp generally means a bad lot in life, an unhappy deal... so it's basically "All Life's Trouble") and it's apparently about some farmer couple's relationship or something - right on par there with books on golf or shovels. The thing on the background is a piece of driftwood on stilts, it's quite a common type of garden decoration here. Old rusty anchors might be the most popular but pieces of driftwood are a close second.
Now all you need is an abandoned building, Laufey ;)
I actually know a few places so this may even be an option. :D They're not all old Icelandic turf house ruins either, it just so happens that when the bubble burst and Iceland entered depression many building projects were abandoned halfway. Some were later picked up again by some other company than the original and completed, some just stand there rotting quietly.

Considering the usual Icelandic response seems to be that if it isn't edible you can make art out of it*... I'm not saying that happened but note that I'm also not saying it didn't happen.
*Or a niðstöng, one of those stake-things with an animal skull on top and something offensive written on, usually targeted against someone. You'd think that's something of a saga curiousity but I've seen two niðstöngs while I've lived here, one with a horse skull here in Breiðholt and another one with a wolffish head on it on Gálgahraun lava field.
Not sure if our choir leader was involved with the wolffish one, fact is he was arrested twice during the same day while protesting a road that eventually destroyed Gálgahraun. We almost missed practice that day because he was late.

the wig actually floffs the same way you draw sigrun's hair I didn't think it was possible. and the senpai hat is well deserved, in-character or not

Lots.

Something is different... Did you dye your eyebrows this time around?
I did color them red(der) with bright red eyeshadow, yep yep! :D I didn't have to conceal mine, which was nice, and the red mixed with my natural brown to match the wig almost perfectly. I got lucky >_>
SCREECHES
the wig actually floffs the same way you draw sigrun's hair I didn't think it was possible. and the senpai hat is well deserved, in-character or not
FLOFFLOFFLOFF
In all honesty I'm very surprised it turned out this well considering this was the first wig I cut and styled all myself :0 (I bought the senpai hat at the con and NATURALLY had to wear it the entire con, of course v_v )

And that scene of Reynir among the wildflowers is not only lovely, it's definitely a qualifier for the title "Forum Prophet." (I forget, do we have rules yet for the requisite number of premonitions, like the Catholic Church requiring three miracles to be a saint? Somebody call RandomTexanReader.)
I almost feel bad posting these here with Laufey's cosplay being completely perfect and all, but honestly I'm of the opinion that more dreamland Reynir can never be a bad thing right? So that's what I'll provide, more Reynir :D

There's never enough from good cosplay. :D

Post by: Gwenno on July 24, 2015, 06:33:43 AM
Gwenno, those are adorable! And A+ for appropriate setting. :D^_^ Thank you. Hehe, I just happened to be really lucky and lived in the loveliest little town which had some really appropriate photo settings
Oh my goodness, Gwenno, those are precious! I don't want to hear one more word about you not being photogenic because you absolutely are, and you make an adorable Icelandic shepherd. The freckles suit you!Well now, looks like you're now added to the list of freckle complimenters :P but thank you. Don't worry, I'm not that I don't like my face or anything (I've had it quite a few years now and am quite fond of it actually :P ) it's just that I have this irrational and difficult to control urge to pull stupid faces whenever a camera is pointed in my direction (even if I didn't actually intend to), meaning that 9/10 pictures with me look somewhere between horrific and ridiculous.
And that scene of Reynir among the wildflowers is not only lovely, it's definitely a qualifier for the title "Forum Prophet." (I forget, do we have rules yet for the requisite number of premonitions, like the Catholic Church requiring three miracles to be a saint? Somebody call RandomTexanReader.)
As for prophecies, I think I've four documented ones including this one? That's kinda over the course of almost 2 years so not actually impressive actually :-\
Aaaaah this is ADORABLE!Thank yooooooou >"< oh gosh, it wasn't even leather, it was just some cheap fake stuff I brought in a charity shop which I modified the living daylights out of with paint and shoe polish :P 100% not waterproof and my feet were soaked! Totally worth it though, and that was the last stop so didn't have to wear them too long after, and they're still in decent condition
Though those boots look like leather so I hope you didn't ruin them standing in the ocean like that O_O
So many awesome Reynirs! I especially like the Laufey punching-the-air pose and Gwenno in the bluebell wood and running by the sea. Lovely!Thank you ^_^ I'm so happy with the bluebell ones Reynir+flowers=best idea ever ;D
There's never enough from good cosplay. :DHaha, thank you :) I am also of the opinion that more cosplay is always better
Actually, Minna herself said, that there's one, who is a mage, but doesn't know it yet. *looks suspiciously at Gwenno*
It's time to ask yourself: have you ever dreamt of approaching Haiz in a strange place, with water and stars all around, then woke up the next morning with a very real blakeye...? :P
Wait, you mean that those aren't normal dreams :o Maybe I should stop using the cloak as a blanket / use it as a blanket more..... (Heh, sleep under a mage-cloak and what do you expect? :P)
You are an adorable little ray of sunshine, just like our beloved Rey-rey. Cosplay-skills = A+:3 aaaaaww, thank you! Thant's such a lovely thing to say :)
Gwenno: There's never too much Reynir cosplay and no need to put yourself down, that's a really well made one! I loved the photos on the beach - your coat billows awesomely by the way!Oh don't worry I'm not pulling it down, I genuinely think it's the best cosplay I've ever made (definitely the one I've put the most effort into!) I just like yours better, it has a more authentic feel to it somehow ^_^ Hehe, this whole shoot was a battle against the wind, but it did result in some excellent billowing pictures
Gwenno these are awesome! Especially the pics in nature! At which ruins did you take those pics?Thank you :) I'm not saying that everything is better when surrounded by trees and flowers, but I don't think it's wrong to say that most things are better surrounded by trees and flowers :P
The ruins are of the St Andrews cathedral where I used to study (all graduated and left now so don't feel too bad about disclosing this info online). It's 12th century and a right tourist attraction, but the poor tourists were so confused by all our antics :P
Gwenno, wow this is seriously great cosplay :D It's obvious you had fun wearing it and that good mood is contagious from the pictures. Also, the costume looks great. Not surprising, since we were all drooling over it in the comic, but seeing real versions of it is also unexpectedly pleasing.Thank you so much, it's especially nice to hear that given that you're not usually into cosplay ^_^ Agree with the comic outfit drooling point. I pretty much saw the page with this outfit back in November and decided that it was the most beautiful thing ever and I had to cosplay no matter what!
(I'm not usually into these cosplay things, this is all very new to me)
Heh, and oh boy did I have fun, for most of these pictures there's a 5 second afterwards version where I'm laughing at the sheer strangeness of it all! The tourists very discreetly trying to have a look and figure out what on earth we were doing definitely didn't help matters either or the wind doing it's utmost to blow me into the sky :P
Heh, another note the beach running scene is that it's actually the exact same place that they filmed this thing
It was excellent motivation to have my friends singing this while trying to get a good running shot ;D
Oh, and also there's this version including Mr Bean
Spoiler: show
Post by: Fimbulvarg on July 24, 2015, 01:43:36 PM
I almost feel bad posting these here with Laufey's cosplay being completely perfect and all, but honestly I'm of the opinion that more dreamland Reynir can never be a bad thing right?
I wouldn't worry about that. This one is definitely a 10/10 as well! The boots, the belt in the wig in particular are perfect.

That's a really good wig :o did you style it yourself or did you by some miracle just manage to find one which was already Reynir? Actually I don't really know much about wigs (in possession of exactly one), but I think you could do a very good Reynir costume with that ^_^ I look forwards to seeing the rest(https://41.media.tumblr.com/0747dd128b01619fc37e4499e2f2bb81/tumblr_ns7ue1ZaFq1u5wfqjo1_250.jpg) (https://40.media.tumblr.com/0bc2a04c08eaf8968b483c0be3507b0c/tumblr_ns7ue1ZaFq1u5wfqjo5_1280.jpg) (https://40.media.tumblr.com/a1119bd9628efe85ffde7c012cf3264e/tumblr_ns7ue1ZaFq1u5wfqjo3_1280.jpg)i'm working on a reynir cosplay and i've been trying my wig

Also, some hair/wig shots because although the wig is trash I was cosplaying Femmil, after all

that is a beautiful wig. It's so long and thick and ... Reynir-y!correcrion. WAS a beautiful wig. until iruined it by making it extra messy... but i expect reynir's hair to be in a braid for a reason, so i guess it makes an over all goodeffect.
(also you kind-of-a-little-bit look enough like Reynir that it works in my head)
also do i really kinda look like him? lol good to know i could be the shorter vertion of him XP

also, that's a cool t-s***
i found this 150cm long wig on amazon and when it came i messed a bit up with it and ended just completly ruining it (now is full of weird curls and knots (all my foult tho))
i literally needed help from two friends so i could undo enought knots to make a braid (cos i didn't do a braid yet)
but somehow it quite looks right?
tho i should style a bit the front part, that thankfully will be easyer now that thewig is braided
(so, for a good reynir braid just duck up a surpisongly cheap(at least relatively from how much they cost here) super long read wig from amazon and just ruin it) °H°
i love that shirt too :)
Gwenno, noooo, I'm going to be home alone all day tomorrow and I'm highly impressionably ;__;the last picdangit now I'm going to be closet-cosplaying both femmil AND tuuri

A wig can still be salvageable no matter how messy it is! I did a little tutorial (http://breidholt-kaino.blogspot.com/2014/03/rescuing-ratty-hair-extension.html) on how I saved a large hair extension piece that was basically just a knotty, greasy mess when I got it. :)

Goodness me!! There are so many lovely cosplays all of a sudden! It's nice to see all the of the awesome different takes on the characters! There also seems to be a fair amount of suggestions, help, and references going around, which is rad! Maybe it's time for a separate thread for that? Idk idk it would just be kind of nice if all the cosplay help was in its own place
In other news, I too, am back, with more Reynir pictures! I do a bit of sfx makeup, and I couldn't keep away from Curry's bloody draws any longer! I only did Reynir, but there may be more to come, eventually, maybe. I am a bit of a procrastinator tbh
Under the first spoiler is the original draw, then under that is my makeup+cosplay. They are both a bit bloody, so please be warned, and don't look if you aren't comfortable with injuries and gore.
I'll never be over those draws tbh. If you haven't seen them all yet (and are OK with some blood), go look, because they are super lovely. ((especially Lalli. ooooooooo I want to do those injuries really bad, but I'm not a very good lalli. i'm kind of hoping curry will let me do it on their face some time))Spoiler: show

You do have a special talent for those enthusiastic/fierce facial expressions. It's a good thing to have when you're cosplaying a passionate pyromaniac.

Kat Sohma - Bwahahaha, wow it really looks like you had a lot of fun with these ;D So uh, are you planning on becoming the entire SSSS team over the course of cosplay?

Ana made an AMAZING Lalli cosplay out of the curtains in my bedroom and it looks amazing, but she is too camera shy to let me take pictures. She made a full on tunic out of my curtains. She even made a Lalli hat hood thing!
Also her Finland hat from SatW is amazing as well ;D
I wasn't going to show the prototype, but since you mentioned it....
Ok, before I do though, keep in mind that this is a prototype, to figure out the shape of the tunic and hat. They are not the right colors. I know. But I have the right fabric now, and as soon as I dig out my sewing machine, I'm going to make a real one.

I don't know the right word, either, but thank you! It's actually not hard to sew at all, except for the arm holes. Lalli's almost all straight lines, and his coat reflects that.

It's me again, with more Reynir. This time, a makeup tutorial!
This may seem odd because Reynir canonically doesn't wear makeup. However when you're doing cosplay makeup is almost essential to bring your look to the next level. It will even out your skin tone and enhance your features, to make your face really pop.Spoiler: show

Sorry these are so blurry! Idk what happened lmao.
So, I hope that helps!! Let me know if you have any questions, and if you follow any part of this tutorial, post pictures! I’d love to see them!
Wow I actually didn't know that about the lips and the darker color :0 that's really cool and of course you look super duper great?? I love that wig on you so much and your makeup is a+!!! I can't wait until we get together for pretty boy swag!!! :D

Oooooh shoot, that just made me the creator of this thread :o (laughs evilly at having all the power!!!!!!(probably not actually that much power)). How about I'll edit and delete the two posts as works best ^_^ For whatever reason the link to the picture on the re-post isn't working anyway
Also, in my defence, we hadn't actually come across Reynir at that point, not even in dreaming, so yeah, maybe not the 100% most best cosplay ever, but there was no way I was going to *wait* until he had before attempting it! Reyrnir has always been the very coolest ^_^

It's in the General Discussion Board, under Cosplay Help. Right now, we have a lot those kinds of posts in this thread, so if you could move them over if they're yours, that would be super helpful!!
If people are ok with it, I could also take a look and move things over for you.

And let me clarify that "move" for most of you will mean "copying the content from here and pasting it into a new post there, then deleting the old post." (I'm afraid our Forum software handles moving an individual post like splitting/moving a very small section of a thread, and only moderators can split/merge/move threads.)
Sorry for the extra work, but we certainly appreciate whatever help individual posters can contribute in terms of moving their own content.

Ok. I have made a list of all of the posts that contain subject material that can be moved to a Cosplay Help thread. There are about 70 posts, and the good new is that most of them are independent questions, answers, and tutorials that can be moved without disrupting the flow of the existing Cosplay thread.

I think I've already said this but I am a-ok and so is Freddie! (we are in Cahoots, don't tell anybody.)

Is actually how i was having the hair for moist of the time, cos DAMN! I was terrefied it would fall of! (is damn considered a bad word?)
The palm trees are a good choice of accessory. Now you need a big flower to put in his braid. Maybe a hibiscus?XD

Curry as Lalli confirmed to be The Anime, Freddie as Lalli confirmed to be Very Uncomfortable

I bought a new wig and I tried it on. I didn't thought of this, but maybe I could do random Emil cosplays randomly with thisOoh, yeah, you actually look a lot like Emil in that. It might want a little styling, but it's quite good already.

This is what I've used this weekend for, Sigrun gloves. They're not even ready yet because I've ran into a problem with the blue trim - what should I use for it? Tablet-woven ribbon would be my favourite choice (and very appropriate, everything considered) but that's a lot of trouble, considering how much of it I'd need for the whole uniform... any other ideas anyone? You're also free to suggest I just go with the tablet weaving, I'm a masochist for "but it looks better that way"-ideas.
I used this tutorial (http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-Gloves/) that I've linked here before. I took loads of photos of the modifications you'll need to make in the pattern and once I get the trim and the tightening strings in place I could make a full tutorial on Sigrun gloves.
Annnd then I of course took lots of photos with them on - they may look a bit large and wrinkly around the arms now but they do have to fit a tight, black shirt and coat sleeves underneath, so worn over the uniform they'll fill out better.

They're fairly comfortable to wear although pleather is always a bit sweaty. :P

◝(⁰▿⁰)◜ AHHH THEY LOOK GREAT. As for the trim... I'm tempted to say "just do tablet weaving" because it WOULD look awesome, I think. But you're right that would be an awful lot of trouble to go through. So hopefully somebody will have a suggestion.

GLOVES!
For the trim (since tablet-woven ribbon would be a pain in the butt), I might suggest the kind of trim/edging stuff that you put around a quilt? I don't know what it's called, but it's like a thin strip of fabric folded in half that you sew over rough edges to avoid having to hem. Then maybe you could put the little triangles on with marker or embroider them or something.

Do you mean bias tape? Bias tape is wonderful! And you can make your own, so you could make it whatever color/size/material you wanted.

Hmm, I had originally ruled out bias tape because it tends to look so smooth and cotton-y (nothing wrong with cotton but I've a feeling the Y90 people default to wool or linen), but I hadn't considered making some myself... that could work!

Great gloves! And I'm afraid I have to agree that a fine band of tablet-weaving would look best, however much work it is. Trouble is it takes forever.
You could get plain white or cream cotton strapping (like that that is used for making belts and straps) and then paint the design on it with acrylic fabric paints. It would approximate the texture and thickness of the tablet weaving.

Some of the things I am trying to figure out are:
- Funding to start up. I figure it has to be one of the Go Fund Me or Kick Start or Indigogo type things because neither of us have money.
- What to offer as incentives. (Wigs of course but a short Turri wig and a Lady Godiva would not be the same level.)
-How to research what is currently popular. The campaign would tell me some of that. I am thinking that staging the wigs in short, medium and long lengths for different levels and letting the patron name their characters. That will give me some hint.
- Do I make this available just to the U.S. first or should I go international from the outset?
- Figuring out how to charge. Neither want to under price or gouge anyone.
There is probably more stuff that will occur as I think more about this. I would appreciate any insight that anyone has into this idea.

I have an idea I want to bounce off all of you as cosplayers. I have a younger friend (was one of my daughter's besties in school) who is a licensed hair dresser. Problem is she has Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome from some drama in her teens that make it extremely difficult for her to hold a regular job much less the highly competitive drama of the hair cutting world. She is very talented though and knows how to make wigs and style them. It occurred to me that with my knowledge of making web pages and writing the Mamp inventory program that she could make the wigs for cosplaying characters and I could manage the website.

-I think for reward levels you could potentially 1) have custom wigs organized by length (three levels or something) 2) let people have discount vouchers? That way later they can decide on a specific wig they really want and they won't be pressured to choose right away.

Other people's hair grows that fast!?!? It took forever (i.e. three years) to grow my hair out six inches! Well, I guess that's the price of curly hair that grows in corkscrews and requires layers at all times. Anyhoo...

Well, a wig might be a good investment if you're planning to wear this costume again anytime. But if not, remember that most of your hair is going to be under the LalliHood, and so it won't show if it's short, especially in the back. Ooh, wait, I had another idea. If you're going to be wearing the hood the entire time, you can buy a two hair extensions in the right color for the two bits of hair that stick out from under the hood, like in this picture:

And that might work pretty well. It's not ideal because you'd have to keep the hood on the entire day (and really I'm only guessing that it'd work), but it might be a good compromise!

This is a great idea! I'm working what stuff I need to get today so I'll definitely think about this.

And that might work pretty well. It's not ideal because you'd have to keep the hood on the entire day (and really I'm only guessing that it'd work), but it might be a good compromise!

I'm planning on cosplaying Lalli for Halloween, and I would need I wig. But my mom is like "We can just style and spray your hair!" But his hair is a lot longer than mine and really want to get this right,but gahhhhhhhhI've said this like twelve thousand times, but yeS please get a wig. They really are an amazing investment and will bring your cosplay to the next level. I would try talking to your mom and explaining that wigs aren't as expensive as they seem, and will look much better and more canon than just styling your hair.
Halloween costume constructing is always frustrating. Because I'm a freaking perfectionist

Yes, I did draw that for the con and I plan to walk with that cuz I can xD people actually read if you have something text with you. maybe I can get some new fan? who knows. (I write the comic link on the pic, maybe it helps too)
(once I cosplayed Link for Zelda and I had a paper on my back saying "I am not Zelda, I am Link" because everyone confuse the names. many people stopped me just to read it then laughed xD)
YES the text say "HAVE YOU SEEN MY SOULMATE?" but I took the photo in mirror so it is mirrored (

Have you considered actual stage makeup? The sort clowns use for whiteface, not the greasepaint but the pressed powder stuff, which is applied with sponges. You can also dilute it with water to get different degrees of paleness. With an ordinary pale foundation, you can get a nice pale effect by dusting lightly with cornstarch before it dries. This takes a bit of practice to get right, so don't try it for the first time just before you go on stage! And hold your breath! Some people use talc the same way, but it's nastier to breathe.

Hafnarfjörður actually, but if she accidentally sailed there instead of Reykjavík her mood would probably be foul enough to empty out Hafnarfjörður and all the surrounding villages as well. :D

I've been meaning for a week now to break out hair styling stuff to see if I can become Sigrun since I have the actual irl equivalent natural hair colour for her (and braidy boy too but that length is N o)

I bet your hair is gooooooooorgeous.
I actually have Emil's haircut, too! I've always kind of wanted to cosplay him (heh, Piney, you have good taste). The only problem is that I do not possess Emil's hair fixing talent, so mine always looks rather flyaway and awful and never, ever sparkles.

Martti: nice job on texturing those scars. I have seen something similar done with stage makeup, with the addition of irregular patches of a purplish-brown colour, and a little yellow blending int grey, between the rows of stitching, to give the effect of bruised wounds. I wouldn't have thought of doing that with rouge, but it does work.oh, yeah, I was told that I am like my grandfather was, we both are/were really creative with anything we had. literally (you had to see my fav shoes and stuffs.... or I think I posted on the forum how I fixed the hole on my pocket of my trousers xD)
I just looked at this old rouge, this had pretty good colour for it, blended with fingers, also added some different coloured red/black pen. well, if I look around a bit more, I could use other stuffs for making the scars look more realistic, by using like markers or something,
a stage makeup, that I usually see in tutorials too sometimes, they are really expensive.
I actually see an easy tutorial for scar, which was using mostly watercolours or other painting stuffs, that I could try, but I have no watercolours (since I can't paint at all)....
yoooo those scars look really good, the rouge made an amazing effect
thanks!

An undertunic for the Norwegian uniform Sigrun cosplay. Some notes:
- I'm hoping to also wear this piece for viking reenactments, so I tried to make it in as correctly Medieval way as possible. No doubt Y90 people would actually have sewing machines at their use but I went for hand-sewing for the whole piece.
- Practicality was an important factor here: the garment has to allow unrestricted movement but also be warm and durable.
- It had to be cost-effective too, my guess is that the price of fabric would have gone up quite a bit by Y90.
- It really didn't need any embroidery what so ever but I'm a needle maniac and most likely the tunic will somehow develop even more decorations if no one stops me.
Ok, then for technical details and a gazillion photos of the shirt itself in a spoiler cut!

An undertunic for the Norwegian uniform Sigrun cosplay. Some notes:
- I'm hoping to also wear this piece for viking reenactments, so I tried to make it in as correctly Medieval way as possible. No doubt Y90 people would actually have sewing machines at their use but I went for hand-sewing for the whole piece.
- Practicality was an important factor here: the garment has to allow unrestricted movement but also be warm and durable.
- It had to be cost-effective too, my guess is that the price of fabric would have gone up quite a bit by Y90.
- It really didn't need any embroidery what so ever but I'm a needle maniac and most likely the tunic will somehow develop even more decorations if no one stops me.
Ok, then for technical details and a gazillion photos of the shirt itself in a spoiler cut!Spoiler: show
Oh, that's nicely well done indeed!

I love the unnecessary embroidery. It adds a little something. : D Anyhow, great job! You've put a ton of thought into this and it shows. Looking to see the part that you're going to tackle next. *_*

And of course the embroidery totally needed two shades of blue, completely justified, because it looks awesome. : D
Hmm, the cape will probably hide the back-lifting problem, you're right. So no need to worry about that.

Gradually turning into Sigrun... well, I can wish. :D I don't have a cosplay page specifically I'm afraid, I make very few cosplays in comparison to typical cosplayers (I make maybe two big ones per year max) so I think I wouldn't have enough material for one. I'm really flattered for the comment though! :3

I've been wanting to make a Reynir hoodie for a while, but I wasn't sure how. My knitting skills aren't anywhere near what they would need to be to make an authentic version of his tunic, and although I could maybe sew something it would take a lot of planning. I usually do a lot better if I adapt an existing garment than if I try to make something new, so I thought I'd try the bleach-and-stencil thing I've been seeing on the internet lately. I got a blue hoodie from the hipster thrift store, and after a couple of hours of messing with freezer paper and trying not to breathe in bleach fumes, I ended up with this.
I had hoped the bleached parts would turn more of a light blue, but the lavender color looks nice with the dark blue anyway. I haven't done the back yet - I wanted to make sure the front was going to come out okay before I wasted my time.
Also I put a lil' Reynir over my camera, because why not.

Kiraly, that's wonderful! As far as I'm concerned, your Reynir hoodie totally belongs in the Cosplay thread. But if you have a pattern and instructions you can share, maybe you can post them in one of the crafts threads? (We had one specifically for SSSS T-shirts, but I don't have the link handy.) Maybe people will start wearing them to Meet-Ups!

I remember seeing the t-shirt thread somewhere, so I'll go hunt it down. And I'll admit, half the reason I wanted to make this was so if I end up being somewhere that has a meet-up I can wear it!

A little follow-up on what's going on - more totally unnecessary embroidery that will be mostly hidden by the cape. On the upside it strenghtens the collar so maybe it'll yet serve some purpose other than just me taking my today's bad mood out on embroidery (boy I've never made such an angry piece of embroidery before)...

Kiraly: rage is surprisingly motivating!
Ok, collar embroidery done. I still need to add some system for closing it and then it's ready - or almost ready since I'm now entertaining the idea of embroidering the sleeves in the same way as the collar, but trousers first. Can't really cosplay Sigrun without them.

Btw Medieval style trousers are a headache to put together with all those weird pieces, but I noticed that the cut puts seams roughly in the same place Minna's placed them in the white uniforms. Normally if I were to sew trousers there'd be only one seam in the middle of the butt, but these - and Minna's uniform design - have two.

That mediaeval design with all the little panels pieced together was originally done to use each piece of cloth most efficiently, with minimum wastage. I've made reenactment costumes, and the oldest designs are always like that, dating as they do from times when woven cloth was very expensive if you bought it, and very time-and-labour intensive if you made it.
Yup! The way the trousers were cut wasted very little material, and the shirt part even less. Then there's the Iron Age Finnish ladies' dress style that wastes absolutely nothing in the cutting process (http://koti.kapsi.fi/jek/kaavat.jpg) which felt like a magic trick when all the pieces came together. I'm not sure if Minna actually thought this far with the designs - I mean who's to say she didn't - but it would be quite well suited for Y90 too to waste as little fabric as possible.

It's time to make some gloves out of pleather that has fuzzy backside so they'll be warm. This means LOTS of handsewing pleather, my #1 hated thing ever cosplay-wise, with the added hurdle of dealing with the aforementioned fuzz layer that gets in the way, sheds everywhere and gets in my nose. Anyway, pieces are cut and here we go...

I hope you are sewing with a waxed thread, Laufey? Makes the whole thing faster, smoother and much less likely to tear at the edges of the fingers. As does using a curved needle rather than a straight one. Pleather also handles easier if you work on it in a warm room, for some reason. Maybe it flexes more? And do you have a glove form? I have tried sewing gloves inside out on a glove form, and it's much easier and faster. Good luck!
In all honesty I hadn't even thought of using waxed thread! It gives me an excellent opportunity to compare though, since I've almost finished one glove already. I can also confirm warm pleather is easier to work than cold, it becomes just slightly stretchier and easier to handle that way. A glove form, hmmm... I don't have one but considering how often I'm cosplaying characters that wear gloves one might indeed come handy...

Post by: urbicande on January 06, 2016, 03:05:06 PM
One of my aunts showed me how to make gloves when I was a girl. Pleather wasn't thought of then, one used pigskin, deerskin or calfskin or other fine leather, or else fabric. Gloves were expensive if you could buy them at all (World War 2 was a tough time for fashion), but ladies were expected to wear them to anything formal. My hands were an odd difficult to fit shape even then, when they weren't gnarly with arthritis, being very square-palmed and short fingered, with the left slightly bigger than the right. So I learned to make my own.
Now that's something we didn't have in my family. Nobody really did more than minor repairs (and to this day, I can do minor repairs and a basic hem and that's about it). Of course, I also know people who've chaired Costumecon. I should be able to learn!

I was an active live-steel fighter, so the armour had to be good. Used to make mail with two pairs of pliers, from heavy-gauge wire. Once a piece of mail was past the stage of needing to be on a frame, one could carry it about like knitting, only heavier. The bus conductor on our local route was another reenactor, and a cofounder of the NVG. When I was catching the last bus home from work of a night it was usually quite empty, so he and I could often be found in the back of the bus, happily knitting mail together through the hourlong trip, getting bewildered looks from the few other passengers.
I used to hand-make gambesons and heavy tunics to wear under mail, so LOTS of experience at hand-sewing leather!

Super cute Tuuri and how on earth does she read books, that's cat-level "that can't be comfortable but somehow it seems to be". :D Much love to the socks!

SIGRUN SWEATER HIGH FIVE
That looks really good already, can't wait to see it finished!
(http://i.imgur.com/mZxhE8F.jpg)
Meanwhile I decided to re-do a few parts of my Reynir cosplay, mostly because we finally got a good look at the "coins" on his sweater on the page where the ghost attacked him (http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=434). Those are magical staves, no doubt about it, so I decided to switch mine with - well, staves. Tried to pick some that would be relevant so they're mostly for protection against ghosts and for ensuring peaceful sleep (and one that makes sure you don't get lost). I'm also trying to make them a bit better quality this time and in general more like the ones on his sweater, so they'll be smaller, thinner and there'll be more of them this time.

Wigs look kinda silly while you're working on them... in other words Reynir needed new front curls so now we're waiting over the night to see if I managed actual, lasting curls this time. ;D

Honest to goodness but how do you do this?? ?? I can't style a wig for the life of me and this looks so perfectly Reynir-curled. Please share your cosplay expertise oh great master >"< (seriously tho, how did you manage this? I'd really really like to know!)

No prollem!
The first step was to do the braid (or in this case re-do it because it was messy and escaping the braid): I brushed out the wig as well as I could, divided it in three and sprayed a little bit of water on each partition to keep them tidy while I braided them. I tied the braid, attached coins and then added some pretty hardcore hairspray on it to further "glue" the braid tidy.
For the front I did the thing you see in my previous photo: rolled up strands of wig and attached them with a pin (although curlers would probably work well for this too). Then I heated the rolls with a blow dryer, let them cool down and carefully unfolded them. I tore the ready curls into smaller sections by hand - if you brush them out you just get a poodle effect. Those I arranged where I wanted to have them and again used the hairspray to finish the work.
Careful with the heat though, if you're curling a non-heat resistant wig like this one heating it too much will frizz it. I went for 30-40s each curl, moving the dryer all the time.

(http://i.imgur.com/lzSp0HX.jpg)Omfg your cosplay looks awesome! All the overstitching is so nice and even :o How did you decide on the embroidery? I mean, is that based on something or did you improvise it? I'm planning Lalli's and Tuuri's Keuruu tunic cosplay and I'm trying to decide if I should make the embroidery more detailed than is shown. Also, could you maybe share what kind of patterns you used, esp for the trousers? Previously I have made historically semi-accurate tunics and trousers like this: http://imgur.com/yXSidEM (http://imgur.com/yXSidEM) but obviously that kind of trousers won't do.
Cosplay updates again, I hope this isn't getting too repetitive...
(http://i.imgur.com/WEeHPLT.jpg)
Trousers in action. Pay no attention to the belts, they're there just to, uh, be belts. More action in the cut.Spoiler: show
Also, I would be really interested in anyone's opinion on Lalli's Keuruu tunic, since it's kinda inconsistent. http://imgur.com/yXSidEM (http://imgur.com/yXSidEM) shows one long-sleeved shirt, but a page later in http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=91 (http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=91) it's clearly two shirts, a short-sleeved tunic on top. Later in Mora (http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=131 (http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=131)) it's consistently one long-sleeved shirt. I personally like the layered look more, even if it seems a continuity error. The collar ribbon changes place too, higher and lower in the collar opening. Does anyone know how other cosplayers have done that costume? Are there even others? Whatever I decide to do, should Lalli's and Tuuri's tunics be similar? Yeah, I can do whatever I want in cosplay, but I'd like my choices to be if not accurate, at least justifiable.

Thank you! The seam embroidery is based on real finds but I've also taken some liberties with it (like using two colours instead of just one), considering we'd be 90 years in the future and... ok that was an excuse, I just wanted to do it like that. :-[ The stitch type is based on Mammen wire embroidery finds. As for the collar, I just kind of took ideas from the wallpaper that showed the crew as they were before they ever signed up for the trip. Sigrun's tunic collar opens at the chest and seems like it could possibly-maybe have the otherwise trademark ribbon decorations nearly every military uniform we've seen so far has and imitated that with embroidery.
For patterns both the tunic and the shirt follow the same pattern you have in your link, except the shirt underneath also has a rectangular collar cover like the one shown here (http://www.hurstwic.org/history/articles/daily_living/text/clothing.htm) (scroll down a bit). Scroll a bit further down and you'll find the pattern I used for the trousers - I didn't have a ready pattern so I just calculated the right size for each piece for myself. It was
Shirt inconsistencies: I think the likeliest explanation is that the overtunic can easily be removed and that the shirt is the default everyone wears normally. Maybe I'm trying too hard to logic this, but the way I see it is that Lalli simply put it on between those two pages while the little steamboat takes some time to travel past the old city. Maybe he got cold? :D In any case I'd say you can go either way, only use the shirt or a shirt + tunic combo, both exist in canon as you pointed out. Same goes for the collar, since you have "options" in canon you can just go with the one that you like best. Tuuri and Lalli's shirts should be similar in my opinion, they're both in the military and the shirts are a part of the uniform so... same shirt, different sizes. Post photos when you're done by the way, I wanna seeeee~

How do you think the collars work then? There wouldn't be much sense to have two embroidered blue collars with big ribbons sitting one on top of the other, but if I simplify the undershirt's collar, that kind of shirt isn't canon anymore... Ugh :D Now I'm also questioning my fabric choices, I thought I'd do linen for both shirts, but wool might look better in the tunic (and be "more" accurate, according to your link). On the other hand, we'll be wearing those cosplays in summer. Hmm. But yeah, I'll def post photos as soon as there's anything to show.

The collars are a mystery indeed... if both shirt and tunic have the same collar + ribbons construction you'll have the shirt collar tying ribbons cause a bulge and the double decorative collar-ribbon would look a bit funny. The way I could see it work, if you want to add the collar ribbon to both, would be by cutting the shirt collar a little larger than the tunic collar so that it won't show once you wear the tunic over it. Using much thinner straps for tying the shirt collar might help a lot too, about as thin as the Hurstvik page shirt example has. I made the Sigrun shirt like that and the straps are small enough to not bother the tunic.
I agree wool tunic is a better option than a linen one if we go by historical accuracy... the trousers and shirt can totally be linen though. Maybe you could make your cosplay season-matching by wearing it without the tunic in the summer and with the tunic in the winter? Or you can do the Medieval Norse thing and tuck the hem of the tunic into your belt if the weather's too warm for wool. :D

That mediaeval design with all the little panels pieced together was originally done to use each piece of cloth most efficiently, with minimum wastage. I've made reenactment costumes, and the oldest designs are always like that, dating as they do from times when woven cloth was very expensive if you bought it, and very time-and-labour intensive if you made it.
And the looms were much narrower. I really didn't understand some of the "tetris" piecing of the older Medieval clothing until I found some narrow loomed wool cloth when cleaning up my Mom's attic a few years ago. Back in the late 60's she was given some emerald green wool for curtains or upholstery that was only about 18" to 20 " wide. Suddenly, I saw the reason for the way the early Medieval and Viking clothing was pieced. Needless to say I relieved my mother of the burden of this strange cloth and (if I can find what box I put it in when we moved) it will become a Viking over tunic.

i have a book on Pennsylvania Dutch Hex signs and magic. Most look like the distelfink birds and hearts and suns. But their was one that I came to realize (after beginning to read SSSS) was older. It is black and white and radial with horned faces on the edge. It is to drive away demons.

Is there a god of cosplay?Several, actually. The curse being that they're so good at cosplaying that they don't even recognize each other. ;)

The problem is it's blackout curtain fabric. White on both sides, but black in the middle. (It's also pure polyester, but it's not like I can budget for wool anyway.) And I have no idea how those would behave if you tried to make them into clothes? If the surface breaks is the black going to come through? Should I even try this? Help?
Post by: Laufey on February 03, 2016, 02:21:45 PM
So I think I've found a pretty good and most of all affordable fabric to make an expedition uniform. It's white, thick enough to at least appear durable, non-stretchy, and has a pleasant, smooth surface. A bit too shiny, but that can be taken care of with a healthy roll in the Great Outdoors anytime.

Ask the shop if you could have a swatch, most shops are willing to give you a tiny piece of fabric. Test a few stitches on it and bully the material to see how durable it is, 'cause if the white layer breaks then yes, the black will show through. Seams would be the most likely places to break. I haven't used that sort of fabric myself but I've used plenty others that were never meant to be worn, the main deal with cosplay is "will it look the way I want it to" so if it seems sturdy enough then definitely you should try it!

I'm growing my hair out again (before it was to the small of my back, but I recently cut off 15 inches to donate to Pantene Beautiful lengths) but will try to do some hair cosplays...? I'm not very talented at sewing and I've never cosplayed before, but I'm pretty well-versed in braids and a wee bit of heat-styling, so maybe I could make some tutorials for SSSS characters?
If anybody of you lovely cosplayers would be interested in tutorials, please let me know! Or maybe, SSSS-inspired braids/looks, as our options for strictly canon hairstyles are somewhat limited. I can do some properly length-appropriate Reynir styles on my sister's hair, as hers is incredibly long.

My hair is currently somewhere between Árni and Reynir length--I have their color, though! :)

*braidy hair below the spoilers*Spoiler: show
I would definitely be interested if you did SSSS-inspired braidy things! I have almost Reynir-length hair (waist-length when braided), though it's not the right color and less curly than his. I know how to do a couple of fancy braids, but am always looking for more interesting things to do to my hair.
There used to be a Cosplay help thread somewhere...not sure if tutorials would be better off there or here.

Okay, I'll try to post wherever in the appropriate threads as I don't mean to clutter. Thank you thank you! And yay for more gingers! Mine is naturally curly, though in a very strange way--wavy some places, quite curly in others.
A further explanatory note to all cosplayers: I unfortunately don't have any experience styling wigs, though, so I don't know how heat-styling differs between synthetic and human hair (you guys are legitimate pros, though, and I've loved reading this thread). But braids should be pretty similar, so long as your wig has some texture, or you give it some in the form of some kind of spray then you should be golden! :))

Brilliant work! That looks really awesome, I can't wait to see you wear it! What's still missing though, it looks ready to me (minus the collar fastenings)?there is going to be a black around the while on the collar
and the fastening, however I could not find a good one anywhere for that. so I will try to use the left over yarn to make something, because I don1t know where to find any good thing. like they are not even selling such thing.... I am not good at looking for stuffs anyway.

Hmm. The places you can usually find metal fastenings like that are either fabric or yarn stores, or any place that sells buttons. All my sympathies though, it's so annoying when all the places you check don't have anything suitable for what you want to make. I've had this problem several times when making cosplays here in Iceland, there just isn't enough variety and certain materials don't exist here at all.

then I googles hoping maybe online I can find one, I found kinda one online how it was a handcraft one, which is suuuper expensive just to buy one.... so I decided to do something with yarns, braiding it or something.
I am also trying to find cheap stuffs
tomorrow hopefully me and my friend can continue our emil and Sigrun uniforms, tomorrow maybe I would post some photos.

If they have them in your area and you have the time, yard/garage sales are a great place to go for stuff like old buttons. It takes a bit of searching and you're never guaranteed to find anything, but you can find lots of cool things to work with if you look long enough.

I checked more and different shops, but they had ONE thing which is not even looking what I could need and they seemed to not have or never had anything different or something.
I think garage sale is something american, because I have never heard of such thing in my country but seen it a lot in american movies.
online search made me found more then 10 times more expensiver stuff, and mostly those even had diamond or pearl or other expensive stones on them, but I don't need that.

Don't give up on finding suitable clasps; you can also check hobby shops or shops selling stuff for jewelry making.
(by the way, there are more and more garage sales in our country, but I think these kind of treasures are more likely to appear at flea markets or fancy vintage markets)

If you google "hekter tinn" or "tinnhekter" you should get to some places that maybe, hopefully ship to Budapest?

the bad part of online shopping is that even the prize is okay, the shipping could be more then the item itself. and for that prize I could buy something expensive here in a shop.
tomorrow I'll go around the area where a Röltex is (I heard of it but never ever seen one, I thought it was something in my parent's childhood, but they are not an actual shop anymore.)

I really tried to style the wig in the best way, but the wig is totally impossible to style, none of the tutorial is helpful for me there.
and here is my real hair styled for Sigrun, which is REALLY easy to style without any hair products, while for wig I used tons of them but none of them helped much. Also my real hair looks really fluffy and soft, compared to the wig.
anyone knows how to make a wig looks like my hair? because soon I will get a new haircut and maybe I won't keep my hair in the way to be good for Sigrun. Also this is the colours I can get with my hairdye I use. gingerish blondish brownish or I dunno what it is. I would never want really red colour like the wig (orange-ish is okay, I dunno how to dye it that way by myself. I am still new for hairdying)

Hehe, bringing some life to this thread! Tuuri and Lalli's Keuruu uniform cosplay is coming together. Lalli's trousers, undertunic and overtunic are done except for the ribbon, and the wig arrived yesterday. I ordered this one: https://www.coscraft.co.uk/lily/923-lily-in-ash-blonde.html (https://www.coscraft.co.uk/lily/923-lily-in-ash-blonde.html) and it's pretty much as perfect as it comes. I outsourced Lalli's rifle to dad, and he estimated it to be ready tonight. Next up: boot covers. :V

But really, I bet you'd make the most best badass Onni. You do make such a cool Reynir! And the color IS awesome in real life too, not too shiny or anything even!(I thought to cosplay him but never found a right coloured wig ever..... until now, it seems pretty good colour, how could I resist??)

and now I think of buying here a new wig for Sigrun, because the one I have kind sucks, old and used and I kinda hate RED wigs, I would want it like the long one I have.... BUt still thinking of it... until then I have the old wig, which I could try to re-style again
and I am not really planning to cosplay Reynir.... xD but in few years my hair will be good for Reynir, so if I even want to cosplay REynir, I would use my read hair, because it is easier to style xD

Lalli's trousers, undertunic and overtunic are done except for the ribbon, and the wig arrived yesterday. I ordered this one: https://www.coscraft.co.uk/lily/923-lily-in-ash-blonde.html and it's pretty much as perfect as it comes. I outsourced Lalli's rifle to dad, and he estimated it to be ready tonight. Next up: boot covers. :VAh man this looks like it's gonna be really cool! And wow your hair is great!
My lil bro is the one cosplaying Lalli and he's out of town atm so no full-on cosplay pics yet, but here's some details:

I got the Tuuri haircut and here's some styling practice. Idk if I should do it messier or neater, hmm.
OHMYGOSSSSHHH you're super duper cute! I think your hair looks great, it's even the right color! Tuuri's hair has always been a bit of a mystery for me (how even does it WORK??? It sticks out and defies gravity, so POOFY) so I think you've made it look the most feasible that you possibly could. Good job, can't wait to see your great cosplay!
Post by: moonamaija on July 08, 2016, 07:27:17 AM
AAAND I am actually working on Sigrun cosplay at the moment and Emil (for my friend, but maybe I lend her jacket, since they are not exactly same, and the Emil wig is mine)Haha that mess! My desk is pretty horrible atm, good thing it's in the bedroom... :D I also like to prefer my own hair for cosplay, especially if it 'fits' the source, y'know? Very bright and moe anime cosplays are better with wigs, for example, but the more 'natural' the original work, the better real hair fits. Of course, wigs can still look nicer - sorry, I don't think I'm any help to you :'DSpoiler: the mess while making the cosplay • show
and now I think of buying here a new wig for Sigrun, because the one I have kind sucks, old and used and I kinda hate RED wigs, I would want it like the long one I have.... BUt still thinking of it... until then I have the old wig, which I could try to re-style again
and I am not really planning to cosplay Reynir.... xD but in few years my hair will be good for Reynir, so if I even want to cosplay REynir, I would use my read hair, because it is easier to style xD
Ah man this looks like it's gonna be really cool! And wow your hair is great!
All of this looks super awesome and I'm excited to see how it turns out!!
Eee, I so excited to see the finished versions! You look just like Tuuri with that haircut, wow. :D
Oh, my GOOOOOOODNEEEEEEESSSSS!!!! YOU'RE TUURI!!!Omg thank you all!! I try to post photos of the whole cosplay as soon as there's anything to show, maybe this weekend. I want to do some cosplay shoots already! :D

Most of the awesome poofiness was done by my even more awesome hairstylist friend who did such a good job with the haircut. <3 My own color is pretty close to that, but she also put a granny mask on it so it's a bit colder shade than usual. Other than that, it's just hair wax and 20 minutes of cursing to the mirror :D I found out there's a fine line between Tuuri and Tintin... Next I've to figure out how to get it stay like that :D

I would use real hair too, BUT I am not blonde, and dying it to the correct colour is hard. AND my hair grows super fast, when I had really light blondeish hair, in half day I could see that my hair grew.
But I tried Sigrun with real hair, it was easier to style then the wig (I posted earlier), but I got haircut again and my hair is again too different for doing Sigrun with real hair...
your hair seems to pluffy, I wanna touch it!

There is clearly some Take On Me (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914) level weirdness going on where Tuuri has escaped from the comic and is masquerading as this Moonamaija person ;D
That is... Very weird. And Moonamaija, the cosplay is looking amazing so far! That hair is perfect!

Uggghh, I'm so jelly, my hair takes so long to grow! Which puts me in a real predicament, because I like to experiment with my hair and get fun hair cuts, but I know that if I do something to it, it will take months for it to grow out again. :-\ I haven't cut my hair since last summer, when it came down to my jawline, and it's only just now touching my shoulders. Blegh

Well, I can't say it's planned cosplay, because my friend and me, we were going to take the photoshoot during winter, not in summer, but participate the movie, fiction, and science (and also comic and cosplay) festival was a good idea as the first attempt. Now I can see some good things, as the ones to be improved. I can shamelessly share literally a couple of pics, the others may be later. Hope you'll enjoy )

Checking in for the first time since January. Everyone's colsplay efforts look just amazing. I want you all to know that you have lifted my spirits today. I woke up with a sinus headache that is threatening to turn into an infection. I have just started a job that is physically taxing (though good for me in the long run). I walk around a truck/lorry lot for most of the 8 hour shift checking to be sure the refrigerator units are working properly on the vans so the food in them doesn't spoil. The good thing is that I am going to loose the 40 pounds that I have been trying 10 years to loose. There is no way I would work this hard at a gym. The bad thing is that it has been 95˚ to 100˚F this week with the humidity putting the feel of things into 105˚F+ range. I woke up feeling low and intimidated by my day. Just reading about the wonderful cosplay costumes has cheered me up. Thanks.

Hi guys! I need an opinion :)
So I have packed both Emil and Tuuri, but I can't do both for the convention tomorrow.
I was hoping you guys could persuade me to choose one :)
(images removed at owner's request)
Just to keep in mind, I can't bind my breasts, so Emil will be pretty big if I wear him.
Both are without the jacket also. C:
I vote for Tuuri!! <3

Wow, that's looking really good! The gun especially looks good. :D
Thanks! I'm quite proud of the rifle. I freehanded a silhouette on cardboard and cut it out, then traced and repeated so I had four cardboard silhouettes. I glued them together, covered it all in duct tape, painted it, and added athletic tape for the white tape. It's quite sturdy, very lightweight, and will easily pass any con weapon check. ^.^
Good one, Finndutchican! I hope you will have photos.
I will definitely post photos! The con is in about a month and a half.

Finding good Lalli poses was kind of difficult. It was mostly a lot of crouching and staring off in the distance xD

My first thought was "I can see the dead souls behind him in these photos."... actually adding a couple "sad wallpaper" style ghosts to the cosplay should be easy enough, just make a Kongming (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_lantern) from less transparent material, make a couple holes for the eyes, and add enough weight at the bottom to keep them at ground level ...

I guess, it's the first time of making cosplay of all the team together?
(Yeah, there's no Reynir, we had him finished also, but he could not come that day, so we were making jokes like he was still sailing in the ocean... or drown there...)
Here's the selfie you could saw in Minna's twitter:

Post by: GeiYin on March 17, 2017, 02:22:20 PM
More photos would be great! How did you make Tuuri's mask?
It was the plastic ball for decoration with two halfs (second also went for Reynir's mask) with the leatherette (if google translator gives me the right title for this type of fabric) glued on with thermal glue (i LOVE using thermal glue in fact, even if i have a fear of fire) and all the little details sewed or glued on the base, that's all the secret :)
Amazing work, you all!
If you have any tips or sewing patterns how you did the uniforms, I would be grateful :')
Oh... i don't know, if i can do it. I mean, i am a cosplayer for 7 years already, but I never learnt how to sew, i always do it by intuation and frequently fitting the costume in process, so we done those costumes with everyone individually.
And surely even if it's uniform, every character has some unique details, so there's no mutual pattern, unfortunately.
If you'll tell me which one you need the most, maybe i can try to explain. But not like everyone at once, sorry.
Also i have another photoshoots with Sigrun and Emil with Lalli, but they are not completely done, so i'll just leave the teaser

if I had friends here, I would do the whole group.....
I know it's not the same, but what about a correspondence group? Forum members, perhaps, who have the needed abilities (sewing, leatherworking, etc) or know people to ask for help; then all agree who is going to do which character, and when all are finished, each gets photos taken, and then all photos are sent to one person, who would make a montage of them all. Someone could make a background with the CatTank and Kitty (unless someone's cat was cosplaying Kitty), much like the group pictures of fans' SSSSonas.

Well, that is not same to have a group where the members are never even met in real life ever....
but if anyone interested in a group pics to make like that? I kinda would have an idea how to make it.

So i was thinking maybe to make cosplay of someone new too, I was doubting about Ensi (but i'm only 159 cm height, so it would be awful)
Fortunately I had already the long grey wig and didn't know what to do with it, and now Minna's posting this page with young Tuuri and when i saw it i was like: OKAY I KNOW WHAT WILL BE MY NEXT COSPLAY
Well... now i'm waiting for next pages for costume details :3
Spoiler: show
I will never not be Tuuri
really......?

On a more general topic: I can't see pics when they are embedded with a lenght and width-ratio, for example GeiYin's pics. I have to open a reply or a quote to see the actual url, copy it out and manually open the pics. Can someone point me to a solution on how I can see the pics in the messages again? Thanks in advance!

GeiYin: I know I am repeating myself but I love the cosplay photos of you and your group. Each cosplayer is doing a wonderful job in impersonating the persons they are playing. *a thousand thumbs-up* I would love to know more about this group: Are you all fans of S4? Have you cosplayed for a long time together?
Thank you so much!
Of course!~ I'd like to tell, but that's a huge story

Yesterday there was a festival here in Moscow where I was going to participate in a huge performance of Shaman King cosplay that we could not finish for nearly three years, but finaly made it!
So it was the reason why i got called to the such kind of event after nearly... half of a year? i guess even more (for you to know: it's some kind of anime or cosplay festival or comic convents or ets nearly every month in Moscow)
Anyway it's not the main thing. And because i had my SK costume fully done for a year already and even showed it on the festival before, and the performance itself was in the very late eneging, i thought WHY NOT TO BRING MY SSSS COSPLAY for the daytime?
Unfortunately in Tuuri it whould be TOO hot for me, so i decided to borrow (so lucky that all the costumes stores at my home) Emil's jacket and made fem.version
(okay it's still bigger than me, but ah! It's Emil. It won't be bad even if i occasionally would put some dirt on it!)
(https://pp.userapi.com/c840124/v840124758/336b/MbKmkZWCMTg.jpg)
So
Why not
Nobody did recognize the character or fandom anyway
And we had some fun
like
"can you help me to fix the costume? i need thermal glue here"
"sure!"
Spoiler: show
but in morning it was still too hot, so i needed a hat at least
"why are you looking at me like that? is it something on my head?", "don't tell me it's a spider!"

Wig may be a bit short for a Sigrun, but it still looks mighty fine on you (besides, we can say it's shortly after she cut her hair very short because combing it was a bore and un-combed hair kept catching in branches)

Also, i have a question to all of you. I got one of the photoshoots that we had in winter fully done by now and... i dunno where i want to post it (and is this so necessary or not)
I mean, it seems more like mature content, but there's no 'cosplay' theme on mature board yet, even if i read in rules about that, and everything with photos is ok by rules, so... it could be created, but i don't want to create it by myself (so, i guess, i can ask the admins, right?)
I also have second variant: to post it on tumbler for anyone who wants to find it
(but the reason i don't want this variant is this 'anyone'. Because when it's just the closed board on fanforum i can be sure that people who watch this understand what cosplay means: it's just an actor play to share the love to the characters, and not the purpose to show the body... )
So the question is, do i need to contact the admins, or you don't want such content at all?
I'm talking about the continue that i haven't posted yet to those photos that you could see already on my tumbler

You shouldn't be shy about making new threads ^_^ If a thread doesn't already exist then feel free to make a new one. For this instance however, I'll go ahead and make a thread in the mature section for you to post these. You are obviously a very talented cosplayer, and I can understand that you would want to share your work, but only in a safe place. I'll ask the other admins what they think, but for now you can post it there. The mature section rules don't allow for actual nakedness, but if it is just implied I think it should be ok.

I'm late to the party as usual, but as another admin I 100% endorse what Gwenno said re:
1) Please feel free to make new threads (in general);
2) Yes, this is more suitable for the Mature section than this one. There, implied nakedness is OK as long as nothing's showing that a modest swimsuit would cover (and the scenario isn't too hair-raising). We tend to be more conservative about photos than sketches and similar formats because the greater realism is more.... um, impactful. ;)

I visited my parents for the past 4 days, so there is no progress on the coat. I'm currently adding the lining, but the linnen needs to be trimmed first to stop the fraying.
Meanwile i'm torturing my embroidery machine for the border (i dont know the right word) of Reynirs tunic. I wanted to buy some, but i could only find celtic ribbons, so i decided to make it myself...well 30cm of it take 60 minutes -___-
While visiting my parents i modelled and casted (until the materials ran out) the rune pieces for his coat, belt, hair and shoes. Some are already painted but there is still a huge pile to work on and i will have to cast some more

I know there are many pages of this thread before me, so I'm really sorry if this has been asked before, but does anyone know of a good pattern I could adapt for the crew's First Adventure uniform coat? (Specifically Emil's, but they're pretty much, you know, uniform haha). I'm not the most advanced at sewing, but I'm fairly tenacious when it comes to cosplay and I have a very patient mother with more skills~~ I tried to click on the link in the first post about the uniform discussion, but I got an error message. :(
Thanks in advance for any help!
