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.
But anyway, speaking of our favorite Swede, I got bored yesterday and did this:

You even got it to swoop in at the bottom, you hair-wizard. ???
~20 minutes with a round brush and a blowdryer.
The question is, how does EMIL, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world with too little electricity to spare, manage to get his to do that?

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?
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.
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'm happy to move your Emil photos if you like. (IIRC, those were the ones where you've got his hairdo?) Do you mind sending me the link to one, so I can find them quickly?Sure, I'll PM you the links~
You can try Imgur, that seems to work every time
Edit: gosh dang am I going to have to upload these to tumblr? the links don't seem to be working...
Does anyone else think the title of this thread should have an exclamation point? I keep reading it and thinking the title should be more enthusiastic.
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?

Me, Freddie (she's new on this forum 8)), and my other friend are going to cosplay Braidy, Lalli, and Emil and also Sigrun, Braidy, and Emil respectively. That's planned for the vague future, however, so don't expect anything soon.
Edit: gosh dang am I going to have to upload these to tumblr? the links don't seem to be working...
I actually really like having freckles and I wish I could draw them on permanently ahaA good enough tattooist could arrange that. Or probably also an aesthetic surgeon, for *real* freckles
A good enough tattooist could arrange that. Or probably also an aesthetic surgeon, for *real* frecklesEhe, yeah, I'm probably just going to stick with getting more sun for now. I used to have them, but right now they've faded to like two.
also, cue Braidy never being cosplayed by a dude, ever
Fimbulvarg said more Braidy-esque expressions, so naturally I'm taking that as an excuse to take more pictures.Now we're talking.

Then some notable out-of-character pictures that may turn out to be in character, depending on who Braidy even is:

(But I want the little flares that I can rip off my belt and throw at things! Also I thought it might be funny to recreate my avatar, sans-flame.)
I think repostibg is fine - wouldn't the old posts show up before the current posts anyway?
Can we not split threads anymore? The beginning of this thread has so little context, and now there's a gap in the art thread. Can we please just make threads like normal from now on?
Fimbulvarg said more Braidy-esque expressions, so naturally I'm taking that as an excuse to take more pictures.
And I'm pretty sure he's just going to be stuck with forever-undudeness unless some intrepid male cosplayer decides to help us out here (unsubtle hint)
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.
Well, Solovei suggested moving her Emil-hairdo posts from the SSSS Art Gallery thread to here, and I agreed.
But going forward, all right.
Don't ever stop with teh cuteness!
And what are all those ribbons for?
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.
Well, I did point out that the moved post would go to the top of the thread, but nobody listened to me. >:/
Gwenno reposted, so I thought reposting would be fine. (I do hate split threads myself)
I ride horses and show a bit and have a talent for accumulating big ribbons when I do so :0 (Although I can definitely pretend they're Best Hair awards.)Out of interest, are beauty pageants a thing at horse shows (like they are on dog or cat ones)? Or do they rather focus on the trade/race/dressage/etc. aspects?

Sigrun!I'm pretty sure it's Braidy though (?).
MOST BEST!
I'm pretty sure it's Braidy though (?).
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), [...] and for dressage, they judge you on your form and how well you complete the routine.So, a measure of approaching the ideal of a given performance, rather than appreciating the animal itself. I wonder what it says about us humans that there are, e.g., snake beauty pageants but none for the supposedly noble horses ... >:D
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.[Thinks of some bodybuilder photos] Ergh. :( Not entirely unexpected, though. There's no shortage of outworldish ideals of cat and dog races, either, though it's not usually focused on muscles ...

So, I'm kinda mega super crazy excited at the prospect of finally meeting Braidy properly and decided to share where I'm at dreamland Braidy cosplay-wise here ^_^
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

Gwenno: handsewn!? Holy wow that's dedication! Definitely looks like Braidy in dreamland and no need for modesty, I say that's an impressive amount of work done already!Ah, but I am unfortunately far too British to post any of my own work without smothering it in layers of modesty :P but thank you for the kind words anyway (seriously thank you so much ^_^ when people say such nice things it really makes the work feel appreciated and motivates me to keep at it). 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
(Please keep posting photos as you get more parts finished, I promise to not use a creepy amount of exclamation marks again.)

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!)

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(and perhaps a cosplay video, not like we've already planned it out or anything pfftsch)

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.ya know what, I probably could (cept my hair takes foreeevvveeerrr to grow). 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!

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. (http://st.deviantart.net/emoticons/r/rolleyes.gif)
we waited so long for reynir to appear in the comic and here we have so many real life reynirs running around like what the heck
Hmmm I think Curry already posted some of these, but oh well. Some really low quality selfies of when I got my Reynir wig styled (by Curry and our good pal Sami)

Curry also slays as Emil, although their stunningness is difficult to see here

i actually really like how the wig looks
*throws caps around like confetti*
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!
I like that the flippy parts are kind of random and not all in one direction :3 makes it more realistic I think

I remembered Sigrid Marie's modern AU fashion Sigruns and since I had basically everything in the picture, I went for that!(http://40.media.tumblr.com/6b5a4ee9832faeb6062f349bbd8bcfec/tumblr_npg1wmAIq91suxlkro5_1280.jpg) (http://41.media.tumblr.com/e89675727a083aed8f7c4045d86f17dc/tumblr_npg1wmAIq91suxlkro4_1280.jpg)

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 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

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

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?
Now all you need is an abandoned building, Laufey ;)
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.At first look my brain was like "oh look a floating potato with legs" and I was going to mention something but I fell asleep. *is too jetlagged to thing properly*

Can we name the rock/potato/driftwood on stilts?Pleeeeeeeaaaaase?
Huh wow, that sweater is definitely on point (as in, that appears to be a perfect replica of the Sigrun sweater and it is amazing
I started getting into these kind of sweaters, so, next could be Sigrun's xD sometimes I want to have more and more of them, but I can't do any, my mum can, but I can't make her do tons of them for me. it took few weeks to make one, and few times she had to restart some parts.
I bet they totally put that dead captain guy from Egil's saga on stilts in the town square and people just assumed it was now a thing to put marine debris on stilts.
*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.
Norwegians like their stakes rare.

and sorry, I often make weird faces:

I don't know what it is you're holding there, but knowing Sigrun I bet she'd at least consider trying to cook and eat it.
Sure, go ahead, I don't think s/he has a name yet. :D... Batata baka? ;)

Curry, it's again supergreat, amazing cosplay (you don't even look like yourself), but jeez how many knives do you even own?
Not gonna lie, this picture gives off some serious "you have two seconds to get out of my sight or there will be blood" vibes.fight fight fight
Something is different... Did you dye your eyebrows this time around?

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

Did someone say how awesome Laufey's costume is? I'd try but can only think of understatements
Hah, I misread that as "how awful Laufey's costume is?" Heh. (BECAUSE THAT IS CLEARLY NOT THE CASE.)Actually, if this cosplay was created like a thousand years ago, it would have been the case, since aweful used to mean awesome in the olden days. That said, I marvel at this feat of creation. It is truly of the old Gods.

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
I and some of my friends went around town taking cosplay pictures back in spring, but my photographer friend who was taking the pictures had a "computer is evil and wants to take down everything with it" incident and I didn't get to see the photos until this morning. I'm actually ridiculously happy we got so many good ones >"< I'm usually really goofy and unphotogenic but this time it seems quite a few turned out really well :3

Hah, oh my goodness I loved having freckles so much >"< I even drew some on when not in cosplay because I just really liked how I looked with them (as did pretty much everyone who saw me in costume, I got so many comments saying I looked better freckly ::) )

When we took these pictures the last chapter had barely started and I didn't actually know that Reynir would get a chance to have woody green things in the dreamland. Had to do it though because the flowers were just too pretty, and hey, it as good as turned out to be canon anyway ^_^ (is it too late to claim to be a mage with premonition powers?)

There's never enough from good cosplay. :D
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.)
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
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
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)
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?
Oh, and also there's this version including Mr BeanSpoiler: show
Heh, sleep under a mage-cloak and what do you expect? :P

I love all of the Reynir cosplayers! The coats are beautiful ;w; and we can never have enough Reynir!!
I was rooting through my wigs for funsies and I found this one- basically, I think I found the perfect Emil wig! It’s a bit too brown for my liking- but when it comes to closet cosplay, beggars can’t be choosers ;w;also it’s super duper fluffy and I love it
okay so here’s a bunch of pictures of me messing around w/ it

Well, since y'all are doing a mighty fine job at looking judgemental (an art Emil has mastered) we could just call it The Jury. Or the quadrumvirate.
Curses, out-vocabularied by a NORWEGIAN!
*slinks away in shame*
But what do you call the 4-person equivalent to a trinity?
(Srsly, I don't think there is a single word for trinity-plus-one -- power-sharing gets harder the more people are involved. "Fearsome Foursome" might work here...)

Not sure if implying that Norwegians have inferior vocabularies.
I found a coat at a thrift store today that would've been perfect to alter for a cosplay... if it had been three sizes smaller. Still, I took an obligatory selfie in it for posterity-

I'm all for the Fearsome Foursome ( ´ ▽ ` ) Emil-glaring is so fun!! This should dolphinately become a thing. :9

I unfortunately blanked out and could only think of Emil-glare and the "hehehehe (https://40.media.tumblr.com/5cf779fae720ba06a685d755741ae916/tumblr_inline_nlheyv4Uhh1r2g2kx_500.png)" face, and I couldn't pull that one :P
I did it! Twice.the ritual is complete

I was trying to figure out which wig would work better, and know I think my America wig works better.

Now every Emil cosplayer must go through the initiation ritual, which includes a picture of your best Emil-glare.

Ah... er... NO SIR CAPTAIN FIMBY MAJOR DAMAGE SIR, NO INSULT INTENDED TO NORWEGIANS BY ANY MEANS SIR! Just chagrined that I was beaten *in my native tongue, of which I thought I had a good command* by someone who had to learn it as a second language. (Maybe even a third or fourth language.)Well, carry on then! (I'm fairly sure quadrumvirate is Latin though)

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?

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

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.

I'm so glad you like it AN!!
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.

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. :)
Also thank you everyone on all your nice comments on my cosplays, I can't reply to each one of the separately but just know they make me feel all warm and happy!

Ahaha I actually did a Tuuri closet cosplay quite a while ago in the ssss addict threadOoooooooooo. Nice. I haven't been in that thread so I never saw it xP (Ur cute btw)

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.Spoiler: show

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

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!
Hi everyone!
So while I was digging through the art museum I found a picture of Gwenno cosplaying Reynir that was posted before this thread existed. Since this thread was already created out of another one, I added Gwenno's picture to this thread so that it would be with the rest of the cosplay.

Hey guys!!! So I thought it was time to create a cosplay help/advice thread so that this one is more of a showcase of just your lovely cosplays!! 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!!

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.
All of you who have submitted cosplay advice or tutorials (or asked questions), would you be ok with it if I moved your posts to the new Cosplay Help thread?

Really good so far. Good luck with the rest. And yay, braid scarf!
The palm trees are a good choice of accessory. Now you need a big flower to put in his braid. Maybe a hibiscus?XD

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.

Today I went out hiking in the forest with Ana Nymus and we tried out some cosplay. I've never cosplayed before, but this was a lot of fun.Ooooh!

Then I ran into Lalli, scouting in the woods.
We tried to take some selfies.

Stay tuned for Ana's half!
Thank you for all the comments, everyone! I had a lot of fun doing this, and maybe Lalli will be back in the wintertime for the snow ;)
And if anyone wants it, I have patterns cut out for both the coat and the hat/hood/whatever. I don't know how exactly I'd send them over the Internet, but regardless, they exist if anyone else would like to make things :)

This is what's 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...
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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'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 gahhhhhhhh
Halloween costume constructing is always frustrating. Because I'm a freaking perfectionist
It's 5 weeks till Halloween -- enough time for most people's hair to grow another inch or so. Will that help?Nah, my hair is all pixie cut (basically an average boy's haircut) but I wish it would! I am hoping to post pics of the cosplay, but that one little detail will erk me :P

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

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.

Ah, so now my habit of envisioning everyone as their avatars has truly become reality!
o_o Amazing, as always. Absolutely awesome and great! ...It was of course only a matter of time.
Laufey, this is amazing!! You became your avatar, and I think this must be one of the most best cosplays ever!! :OO
I don't know why I find this so hilarious. Maybe because captain Ása is surprisingly majestic. Maybe it's because it looks like Reykjavik has been deserted due to her foul mood after returning from the Copenhagen supply run.

also that little fur capelet thing looks so warm and comfy, I want one :3
First of all, a round of applause for all: I've often enjoyed this thread. You guys are great.
I did finally have to comment and say that Laufey, that cosplay is aMAZING! I love your knitting, and the little cape is so great. It also brings me unimaginable pleasure that you have become your avatar. That's all.

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)
Only problem is I have Reynir's thick fluff and the exact same general hair style as Emil
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.

Wow, that wig has some Serious Floof! Much more Reynirish than mine (I'll have to figure out a way of making it really fluff up).

also I now look fabulous
It looks good.
Lots of hair gel?
I thought to try it for fun with anything I have..... which means red ballpoint pen xD
but then I found a super old dark-red rouge of mine (never used for real xD) and that made a really cool effect on it and looked less like a pen doodle on arm xD
I would try it again later with cosplay on, or something.
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)
yoooo those scars look really good, the rouge made an amazing effect
Okay so fluffy Turri hair is a go! I feels really weird with out my glasses.OH GOSH YOU'RE SUCH A CUTE PERF TUURI

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

I don't think it's too big, remember, you need to tie it with a belt as well and that will make it fit a lot better. Also, that's so well made you could just wear it everyday and be half in Reynir cosplay without anyone knowing it ^_^

I can't wait to see this one finished, but in the meantime I love seeing the progress pics and learning how you go about making it :3 (you wouldn't happen to have an actual cosplay page would you? You do things so professionally I wouldn't be surprised, and I would definitely follow it if i knew about it!)

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!Oh, that's a good idea! I can try to take some process photos when I do the back. 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!
(http://i.imgur.com/8hdWg4T.jpg)Ooh, that looks so good! You would never know it was fueled by rage. And hey, I feel like embroidery is a great way to deal with a bad mood...definitely better than a lot of things you could do.
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)...
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.
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.Yup, that was a bit early for us 'peans to have heard about the real thing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangram#Reaching_the_Western_world_.281815.E2.80.931820s.29). :P

Trousers done! Next I get to flip a coin on whether I start with gloves (YAY!) or boot covers (URGH) first.
(http://i.imgur.com/ysMslVg.jpg)
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.

I don't think it matters so much with the blue uniform I'm working on but when I get to the white uniform cosplay it's good to have it figured out! :D

Thank you all for the nice comments, also great to hear my flooding this thread with progress posts isn't getting too much. Next I'll have to figure out how to do the belts... gloves and boot covers are the next items to be made, but how will I make the belts so that they're both accurate in looks and functional (and can carry some amount of weight, she has two swords after all).
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!
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...I see what you did there. ;)
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.

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.

SIGRUN SWEATER HIGH FIVEthaaanks
That looks really good already, can't wait to see it finished!

Alright, now we're talking!
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
snip
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.Thank you for opening up the process! And that link is awesome - you're right, I just wanted to make it viking-accurate :D Hello! But I'll be using my sewing machine and overlocker, since I just don't have that kind of dedication.
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 wasa bita lot of work but I think the end outcome looks pretty nice! Still, SSSS happens in Y90 so you don't have to be "viking-accurate" when you make the cosplay unless you want to, in which case high five fellow clothing history nerd!
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~That's a lot of trying :D imo I don't think Lalli would in any way have the time to take a shirt off between pages 90 and 91, but that's beside the point. 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.

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.

Those. Are. So cool. : D Good thinking re: using ones against ghosts and such. ...And of course he would need one to prevent from getting lost. Of course.

Laufey is actually a god. Is there a good of cosplay? If there isn't feel free to take the title, if there is feel free to take over the existing title.
Maybe Laufey is one of the gods who keeps Iceland safe from the Illness!
These shoots are great! 100% most bestest in every way, the costumes (which it has been fun to see you working on these last few months), the location, and the poses all combine to create perfect renditions of the characters in real life ^_^ There's something just so natural about these shots and it's a joy to see them all :3
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. ;)

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.
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?
My hair is currently somewhere between Árni and Reynir length--I have their color, though! :)
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.
*braidy hair below the spoilers*Spoiler: show
There used to be a Cosplay help thread somewhere...not sure if tutorials would be better off there or here.

Martti, that looks lovely. What wool did you use?some turkish yarn, called, Alize, 100% acrylic
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.
(http://i.imgur.com/7Jaqs3M.jpg)You, a predictable person ? Nooooooo... ::)
Meanwhile I'm starting a new cosplay project and have just bought the materials today. You can probably guess what's going to happen. :D

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.yeah, I could not find any good one at all, I checked few, they all has same, but not even looking how it would be the best.
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.BUT the problem is the DO NOT HAVE anything. 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.

Martti, I found this:

It's a Czech company though, so the postal cost would be higher than the price of 3 pairs of clasps...
But photos of the same clasps are on Röltex' site too (they don't have a webshop :/), so you can ask there.

But really, I bet you'd make the most best badass Onni. You do make such a cool Reynir!

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
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:Spoiler: show

I got the Tuuri haircut and here's some styling practice. Idk if I should do it messier or neater, hmm.
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
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!Thank you!! 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

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
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.
Yesterday I finally got my wig for Onni, but not styled yet
and I just tried Tuuri:

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 )

As you may (not) remember, Owl once shared SSSS and Marvel crossover scribbles. So, I couldn't stand a temptation to cosplay Lalli as Loki ;)

Olga, those are great! Too bad Sigrun wasn't with you for the climb up the ladder - could have Photoshopped some water and a Floffy-tentacle into that one!
And backstage one cosplaying sleeping Lalli.Perfect Olga ! ^^

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:
Almost done with my Lalli costume! Just missing the wig, the shoes, and the arm bands.
I'll be wearing it at Katsucon, so if anyone will be there, look out for me!

Wow, that's looking really good! The gun especially looks good. :D
Good one, Finndutchican! I hope you will have photos.
I tried to be Lalli again today!

Here are my pictures from Katsucon today!
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 ...

Good job, this looks amazing! :D Did anybody at the con recognize you?

More photos would be great! How did you make Tuuri's mask?
Amazing work, you all!
If you have any tips or sewing patterns how you did the uniforms, I would be grateful :')
I also tried on Emil... but i'm too feminine for him surely, so could it be called like... fem!Emil or just female version? I don't really know...Femil
Okay, i posted the most.

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.
OKAY I KNOW WHAT WILL BE MY NEXT COSPLAY
Well... now i'm waiting for next pages for costume details :3Spoiler: 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?
Awesome!
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)
A wig I had ordered arrived today so of course I had to do this:
Or that she got trollgoo all over it and it wouldn't wash out or something)Y'know, claiming that someone is immune against something doesn't mean that ample amounts thereof still cannot possibly cause hair loss ...

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
Nice wig and get-up :) (and the troll goo scenario is easily accepted too)
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.Spoiler: NSFW rule show

(http://i.imgur.com/Pr7l1Ak.jpg)Hey, might as well get a head-start for the next adventure, right? And if you’re willing to be patient, you can have both cosplays eventually!
Reynir's new coveralls have me feeling some kind of way (trying to engineer that knit + woven fabric construction in my head)
So impressed with all the awesome work in this thread, by the way! So many different takes on the crew <3

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

Keep your fingers crossed, that i really get rid of my braces tomorrow, so i can finally take some make up test pictures... smiling
