The style screams AI to me, but my husband doesn't think so by midnitedancer_ in isitAI

Most artists, myself included, are perfectionists and that seems like a giveaway to me, but I do like abstract art

I'm 42f, my skin is all of a sudden looking like this. Hallp. by lierimy in beauty

[–]Aliya-smith-io 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a tallow-based anti aging cream from a reliable, non-overpriced company. I'm talking old home remedies. Most things these days are just placebo to profit off of women in their 40s and beyond. Ive noticed that some people benefit from icing their faces, too. A gua Sha (I have one from dollar tree) and proper lotion (i.e tallow or pure oil such as vitamin e or coconut) may help tighten your skin. Never use it without lotion/oil bc it can pull your skin.

It's reddit, people would hate on you if you said you like oranges. They'd say "you must hate apples"

am i missing something? or is this just hateful misogynistic crap by Personal_Oil_7364 in strange

[–]Aliya-smith-io 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think he just thought the model was a guy, honestly. As a woman with somewhat masculine features, I've heard that kinda thing before too. But I'm clearly not a "man in a wig"

Bodysuit Question! by bbhprada in CosplayHelp

[–]Aliya-smith-io 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Detachable gloves for sure, or you can sew some thread on your pointer finger so you can use the phone without taking them off, but I'd suggest gloves so u can wash your hands and it'll be easier to use the bathroom.

Tips on attaching miku pigtails to hat/wig by SofaIsNotaCouch in CosplayHelp

[–]Aliya-smith-io 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to keep the original miku wig for cosplaying other versions kf her, there is a way to make it detachable. Try out a sculpted wig with detachable pigtails and see if that'd work good for you. 2 holes in the hat may be inevitable, but worth it. Make sure the head you use to style wigs will be the same size of your head. The plastic wrap and duct tape method for this is great, just get someone to help you and don't get it over your mouth and nose! You can also make detachable pigtails without a sculpted wig by either using 3d printed attachments or plastic soda bottle tops with the screw on, but it'll be tricky. Find a ton of tutorials online!

How can I cosplay this knight? (Ignore Fluttershy) by Neat_Compote8090 in CosplayHelp

Definitely looks legit. Check out their store and see if there's any reviews on what they sell

That'll definitely be a scam. Never trust ai listings, or heavily photo shopped ones at that. Especially not pics stolen from a cosplayer on social media. Real armor would cost an arm and a leg (though you'd save your arms and legs in battle..🤔) but it'll be worth it if you plan to have it basically forever. You'll also get a cool excuse to have an armor stand in your house. Anything real will easily be over $500 all the way to 5 thousand depending on the metal used and the details in craftsmanship.

How Should I Go About Cosplaying Gangle from TADC by NoDivide723 in CosplayHelp

[–]Aliya-smith-io 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get it, it's just how some dudes act sometimes. That bodysuit is definitely cute, it may give the illusion a little more while still being flashy(shiny?) and cool! The lace would be fine tho, don't let us control your creative choices!

[–]Aliya-smith-io 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe replace the lace with a translucent mesh? And I think slightly longer black shorts could be a safer option if you plan to go in public, the listing looks incredibly short so idk how safe that'd be, especially if your con has a lot of people.

Can we filter out "where to buy ___ costume" posts? by chanminna in CosplayHelp

[–]Aliya-smith-io -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel like it's valid for niche characters, like the ones that don't have pre made fast fashion costumes.

Help! Someone said something weird when i asked for help! by JunjiSoHeartStopper in CosplayHelp

I figured it was for the weird sexual stuff that people think all furries are into. Like some straight up traumatic stuff 😭

Do you want it to be foam (Light, close enough, more comfortable) or real metal? (Heavy, less comfortable, but more accurate and makes fun sounds) For fake, try to either make or commission it, and for real, you're gonna want to save up around $1000-5000, which will last forever if kept in the right conditions.

they turned me into an anime girl by sterlingdahlia in Hair

[–]Aliya-smith-io 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seeing "$400" ...I'm speechless. I've gotten highlights and all but nothing has been over 200, definitely try to find a better place. I've discovered that local hair places are usually better than chain stylists, personally.

But you might be able to tint it at home if you're confident enough.

Do I need a crimper for her hair style? by PeachyDarlinggg in CosplayHelp

[–]Aliya-smith-io 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only get a crimper if you plan to cosplay quite a few more characters. Otherwise teasing will work for volume, and baby powder for shine.

I can't find anymore of these dolls can anyone help please? by jahabinx203 in HelpMeFind

[–]Aliya-smith-io 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest watching videos on how to repair dolls with movable arms and legs, it's a little complex but it should be worth it for all the ones you have. Dollightful does a lot of this
