My cosplay rule for new characters has always been I can spend money on 1 high quality item (typically something essential for the character) everything else needs to already be in my closet or have can double as normal clothes or decor, that way if (when) I mess up I still have pieces to reuse
@anakinmonkey 7 ай бұрын
i like that mindset. However no need to restrict yourself. If you do want more expensive items, you can totally get them. And if you can thrift/ kitbash it. Do that! It’s all up to you. No one should be pressured to DIY everhthing or to buy everything :)

As a networking tip. If you end up going to a conventions group photos are an awesome way to meet new people. I always make a point to set up a group chat so we can all stay in contact, share photos, and touch bases with one another after the con. I’ve even found it useful to see if they are going to any other cons. I would also say be yourself and don’t be afraid to try new things or make fun of yourself. If you do make a fold of yourself. Think of it this way, you are never going to run into those people again unless you want to. Take opportunities where you can. While I was on a work trip I noticed a con was going on during my free weekend. So I threw my spider-man outfit in my bag, 30 min before I left, and went to the con. While I will admit I was scared at first being by myself and on the other side of the country , people knew were I was and able to track me for safety, I ended up having a blast and making some good friends and still chat with them.

Please make a sequel to your spider-man posing video. The first one helped me a lot. For anyone who gets stuck in an endless photo shoot, it happens at cons, I found if you give them a countdown and you all stand up as a group you can break it. That was something I/ we learned by the third day of LA comic con. If you do cosplay spider-man be ready to develop your legs. You will have a blast taking photos all day long. But might not be able to walk for a week after holding poses for 30 min+ at a time for three days.

And Hopefully with your videos... i can work out some fun cosplay even tho I am from south asia. Cosplay isn't as big here and there's no thrift store or even amazon doesn't sell anything to help me! Or commission cosplay or used cosplay.. nothing... So I don't know how am I gonna do it but hopefully I can do something. and it could be most positive thing in my life. So thanks for your videos.

The 501st is an overall branch for all starwars suits like that. So for me, i’m a scout trooper, so my detachment is “Pathfinders”.

@anakinmonkey 7 ай бұрын
could be a number of things. My gwen friend had that issue with an old shell. It could be the size/depth/ or spacing of the holes on the shell. Mine are all very small, the larger they are, the more light can get through and they show. It could be the thickness or color of the fabric on the mask you have. If the mask is too thin, or small it may stretch too far and show the holes. or if your suit is lighter, like gwen, future foundation or anti venom. it has a higher chance of showing
@ToxicBlur1337 7 ай бұрын
It is a future foundation, they really only show up in the light but otherwise they are fine. Maybe I could put a fabric over them first? Double it up so they don’t show as much? Or do you have any recommendations for shells?
