yume nikki is way too obscure for that.
i have no idea what you would show on the panel. seems very unnecessary.

Anonymous 02/04/12 (Sat) 13:09:37 No.286

A discussion panel, I'm assuming. Which means you could talk about how fans got into the game, what their favorite character is, things that remind them of YN in real life, fangame favorites, etc. Doesn't seem that unnecessary to me, anon.

I can't go to Toronto, but next year we are having an uboachan meetup and booth at AniBoston.

Yeah.

I'm not a cosplayer, nor do I have any knowledge of cosplaying, so I can't really help in the advice department.
But I think it'd be nice to see a N'oubliez Jamais related cosplay.

Unless she has fantastic hair, the general rule is get a wig because they are much more manageable and better looking, you don't have to compromise your own hair as well.

I don't know, just go for what ever she is feeling good about. Just look at the things she loves, and pick out characters she likes, it doesn't necessarily mean being limited to what you look like.

Hey! We saw you there; we stopped to tell you that you JUST missed our sabi/mado cosplays. Lol. Your piano belt was a nice touch by the way.

N !IKlc0w/AJw 02/04/12 (Sat) 21:20:49 No.287

Yes, the piano belt is AWESOME.
And by that I mean it's very cool.
Other than that, I think this cosplay looks pretty cool.
It'd be nice to see some other pics, maybe in different lighting.

As for advice, unfortunately I don't have any (right now at least).

>276 Alright, thanks for the help! I don't suppose you [or anybody else] could give me any makeup tips for SFX makeup? Anon273 had a really good idea.

>>277
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.

Sin 02/01/12 (Wed) 16:31:43 No.279

>278 Just anything tips you can give me for making myself appear sleep deprived. Lol

Yawndere 02/01/12 (Wed) 18:10:19 No.280

>>279
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. (:

nomyriad 10/12/11 (Wed) 23:18:48 No.127

Thanks! Poniko's wig was against all styling, so we did what we could xD

Also the knife was made out of cheap cardboard, because I couldn't bring in a real knife ^^;;

Poniko also had an uboa mask. Anyone want to see it?

Higher-grade wigs generally resist styling. Though if you cannot style the wig, despite all your best efforts, you may have to get another wig; as unfortunate as that sounds, the style is necessary.

You could probably make a knife out of expanding foam, with an outerlayer of tape so you could paint it without hurting the foam.
Remember, an oversized Knife is better then a slinky tiny knife.

Also.

….I don't like it

Wow, that's an awesome Mado cosplay! But, for the Poniko cosplayer, Poniko has a ponytail. It could be a short ponytail depending on how you view Poniko, but, most people see her as having a long ponytail.

Sin 01/31/12 (Tue) 13:52:06 No.275

The Poniko should have a pony tail, but kudos on having the right color green shirt! It seems to me that it would be a little hard to find.

I think the scar looks pretty good.

Now for the red tie, white hair, and maybe pale-er skin; and then I think I'll think "WOW".
If you're up for that…

>>261
What a quick fix! XD *applause*

This was mostly just a test-drive, since I was bored and wanted to try something out for my future cosplays.

Though I'm glad you enjoyed it, I'll be sure to give this another try once I get a white wig amongst other things, and keep you updated.

Cool. Not much seems to happen on /cos/, so I'm sure I'll see it if you decide to do anything else.

Anonymous 01/22/12 (Sun) 10:04:28 No.266

you look wonderful, bed-hair and all <3


it looks good. i'm not too good with paint/makeup/special effects so… i can't really give good critique as far as that goes!

Thank you. :j

I'm still learning how to do make up/Special Effects, personally. I don't know too much about it. My normal method is just mixing colors and stuff until I get the effect I like.

i think uboachan has a tinychat room… but it's been a long time since it's been used. we do have a skype group chat but only people with the newer version of skype would be able to group video, and you'd have to make a new group for it since everyone doesnt have it >:

just asked irc. i think it was an instant chatroom where you just type a name after tinychat.com/ .

Anonymous 01/15/12 (Sun) 16:47:13 No.257

ah this actually sounds like it would be fun someone pick a date and time or something? I'd like to have some excuse to wear my Shiati-san cosplay again

This should work for a room, Saturdays are generally the days which I do cosplay stuff, so hopefully we could get around then.
Of course, you're all free to organize and gather at your own inclination.

I looked around I didn't see it.
Either way, we should maintain this post as well, regardless. To advertise our presence towards the Uboachan community specifically.

NEVER ACE BANDAGE NEVER
either order a proper binder from underworks or use a new training bra that is a few sizes two small for you OR use anything that isnt ace bandage or duct tape
ace bandage is hurtful because it doesnt give or move with you as you breathe like a real binder does, it causes your lungs to have problems as well as possibly causing fractures.

KABuTO. 01/07/12 (Sat) 07:42:46 No.243

>>241
heed this anons advice, though learning more about binding I wouldn't use a training bra that is too small for you
sports bra's are better, and you can get compression ones, they are unlikely to bring your chest size down all the way though

Anonymous 01/09/12 (Mon) 15:33:59 No.248

i might actually be fine with a training bra… since i have very small boobs(tmi? TOO BAD). i'll at least try it… and see if i need to purchase a binder after that. P:
thank you all for the advice. u-u

no lisgten to the other guy, with the sports bra stuff.
i say training bra because i keep thinking of it as "bra you wear while you train and work out"
i mean sports bra OOPS.

Anonymous 01/10/12 (Tue) 18:58:10 No.252

aha that's what i meant too, sorry!
i definitely couldn't get an actual training bra to fit!
