/cos/ - Cosplay / Conventions

Ohh, it's you! I was the other Sabi cosplayer there, haha. Like I said… your cosplay looked real cool! I still have to get my con photos on my harddrive…

Hair's quite a bit too long, and too neat in my personal opinion. Don't be afraid to mess up your hair before you do a fuzzy hair character, even if you have to recomb it, and try again. Try adding a bit more 'Rust' to the pipe, it adds effect, and lastly maybe a bit of SFX make up to make you look tired, just small things like that.
Aside from that, body type and over all look of the cosplay looks great, I'm hoping to see more. :)

Yeah, well it's my natural hair, so it was a little too long. Lol. I actually had it ALL messy, but our hotel was a 30 minute walk in the wintery winds of Ohio, and it ruined the hairspray I had in it.
Does anybody know how I could apply rust to a pvc pipe? I can't carry a real one in a convention.

>272 You! ♥ I saw you and Smile there. You guys' cosplays were awesome.

Textured Spraypaint.
Apply in small little sprays and such, don't do too much.

I am 273, just decided to name up I suppose.
What specifically would you like to know? I'm decent at SFX make up. Not dare say the best, but I get around and such.
For make up, I have pictures of my Make-up job for a future Kaibutsu cosplay [Namely "Not another bad cosplayer"] I'm planning on doing for Shuto-Con.
I've also done a SMILE in the past.
I didn't really take the picture taken seriously however, so ignore the glasses and such.

Of course, natural sleep deprivation is always the best way to get the look - Unfortunately I've had to do so before.
Just a bit of a preemptive thing. I use Gel-based make ups, so other techniques probably won't work the same way.
Anyway, first of all you're going to want to map out an area where you believe the "bags under your eyes" are going to be. Usually doing so with a very light make up shade that you can see through, or a darker for easier mixing, and once you've mapped it out, place small specks of black, and a bit of purple. Mix the FUCK out of them for a bit of an altered shade of skin - However using too much might make you look like an Mega-Goth so be mindful of that. You can always remove some, or touch it over later if you don't like how it turned out.
After this, making your skin look pale and sickly is always a good thing since sleep deprivation usually does this to you as well. areas where you've got red skin [My cheeks for example] are where you're going to want to focus on most, to avoid bleed through of your make up. The more sick you can appear, the better. Afterwards, if there is any excessive make up in some areas such as TOO pale of skin, or too much darker shades, try using a natural skin-shade powder to lay on-top of it. This can also be used for a good blending technique if you do wounds and the likes for later cosplays.
However, I promote just testing out your own styles and trying what you think is best! It's always the best when you try out and do things on your own, doing your own make up over and over again - especially with SFX make up - WILL make the applying process easier, and over time you'll learn more techniques, and eventually get your own style on how to do things. :]

Well thank you very much! I appreciate the help; I want to try my best to be a good Sabitsuki cosplayer. (:

even if your hair is the right color, getting a wig is always a good idea! your natural hair looks fine but if you plan on cosplaying Sabitsuki more in the future you should really invest in a wig, it'll be worth it and they are much much easier to style! as well, I'm not too sure about that little black belt on your skirt but that is just my opinion, it looks great otherwise.

Could use a "frillier" skirt, too, for lack of a better term. I'm no expert on skirts, but Rust's skirt has some pretty clear folds in it, and I assume Sabi's is just as "fold-y".

Oh, and for future reference, if you're cosplaying as a .flow character, your character is left-handed. No exceptions.

Pretty cool cosplay! Although, in the future, I reccomend trying to do more of a bed-head-ish style instead of a straight style, since that's what Sabitsuki's hairstyle is. But, if that is your natural hair, I reccomend getting a wig. You can get it to the proper length, and the absolute proper color.

Hey you. I saw you on Deviantart, said you should have a wig but that everything else looked amazing and you REMOVED WHAT I SAID AND BLOCKED ME FROM YOUR PAGE.
I didn't have an opportunity to say it there, but I will definitely say it here because you cannot block my post me here. If you're serious at ALL about cosplaying, you need to be willing to take a little bit of criticism in order to get better. You can't ask for an opinion and then just block everyone who disagrees with you or says you need to put on a wig.


Now go get a god-damn wig and learn to take criticism.

I found you on Facebook.
Am I creepy yet?
