Went to Brisbane Supanova today, hows my outfit? Decided to go as Urouge (One Piece Supanova). Did anyone else go? And i'll be posting a picture of a REALLY good Mikasa soon ;)).

Post your suggestions, advice, recommendations and everything else gyaru here!

I've been looking to make a drivesuit from pacific rim but have never made any armor before.

I've been researching how best to create the armor and found the pepakura method using foam.

My problem is that no matter how good a piece of armor is constructed using this method it still looks like foam. Is there any way to give the foam the metallic gloss look of metal or the smoothness of carbon fiber? Is there any way to avoid having to use fiberglass as the main materiel?

Wai-con thread. Or ausfag thread, whatever.

Reminder that you have 4 days left to finish those cosplays.

So, Madman Entertainment is throwing around those heavily shooped images of Gigi Evans (Rarity This, or whatever the fuck she's called now).

Thoughts?

Dragon*Con is coming up. Who will be there?

I moved into the city last year for university but didn't plan enough ahead in order to go to the con; but I managed to go to the parade and it was unlike anything I had ever experienced, so I'm now expecting this crazy, exciting, over the top, huge event.
However, I've never been to anything quite like D*con and would love some pointers (or maybe some friends? as I have no cosplay buddies here) for my first time. I've been to AX, but I feel like D*con is sort of apples to oranges in comparison, at least from what I've seen and heard.

What's it like in multiple hotels, down town especially? What's it like to cosplay there? (When I was at the parade, it was ridiculously crowded, is the rest of the convention as packed?) Any exciting parties going on that I should know about? Is there a /cgl/ meet up potentially happening? etc.

anyone know what this is about?

What do you guys think of Ivy Doomkitty? She obviously uses corsets to appear curvy when she is really a blob of fat, which is sad cause I think her face is pretty decent. Is she respected around here or just a piece of meat?
Just want an opinion cause I dont visit /cgl/.
