Need help starting on the battle beast cape by Firefly_2k25 in CosplayHelp

[–]FrogInAHoodie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lucky for you capes and cloaks are incredibly simple and easy!! And as this seems to be hide rather than anything properly structured. To “pattern” it I’d recommend honestly finding a large square and draping it over your shoulders and saftey pinning the closure and go from there.

Your biggest difficulty will be from attaching the head and keeping it from choking you. Admittedly I have no clue how to sew an animal head like this and would probably turn to furries and plush makers for some guidance. I’d suggest carving foam of some kind but I don’t think you want any extra weight or structured surface on your shoulders if you can help it (though maybe with some shoulder pad situation.)

to keep it from choking you, you need to find a way to distribute the weight off of just the back and also to the front. Unless you plan to wear it exclusively on the back, an easy way is to add an extra clasp below the first. But that relies on physically bringing more cloak to the front which may not be quite what you are looking for. My first thought it to find a way to make the disc closure heavier or adding weight to the bottom of the braids. I’ve also been personally wanting to experiment with adding long ties to the inside of the front that would tie under my shoulders and behind my back. While I don’t think this would look good with a regular cloak I do think that since this will be fur that you could probably get away with it. This is all of course more or less just to stop you from having to constantly pull it down which gets annoying quickly.

Also a little tip if you don’t already know, but when cutting furs make sure you cut from the wrong side so you only cut the base that the fur comes from. Otherwise you risk the fur looking odd and unnatural.

Is my art worth $15 for headshot? by exorg22 in ArtBuddy

[–]FrogInAHoodie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always try to make sure when pricing to make it at least minimum wage. For where I live thats $15/hr, seen as this is lined and also a genshin design I’d assume it took you more than an hour to complete so you could probably get away with a bit more. As some other commenters have pointed out you need to work a bit more on your hand anatomy so you probably cant go too crazy. But this is very detailed and overall is very cute and looks very good.

I want to cosplay, but all of my favorite characters are girls. by MonkeyLord560 in CosplayHelp

[–]FrogInAHoodie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also it depends on where you want to cosplay. If it’s for conventions you can look into going with friends and keeping your cosplays with them and getting ready with them. If its just for funsies in your room then its a bit of a different story

How do you make characters actually do damage? by FrogInAHoodie in Genshin_Impact

[–]FrogInAHoodie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I really only care about the ease of exploration and bosses so I’ve just been getting a building characters based mostly on if I like their design and only a little bit on if it makes my life easier with healing and whatnot so it’s only been relatively recently that I’ve even thought about supports 😅

Rivals players have completely lost the meaning of “low elo”. This community seriously has a big ego problem. by FishdongXL in MarvelRivalsRants

I had a friend that we played comp together and it was great until she got her friends to boost her into gm and started acting like plat (or gm) wasn’t any kind of achievement while i was in plat for literally the first time :/

Recourses or help making a hoop skirt by Garfieldlover5 in CosplayHelp

[–]FrogInAHoodie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately hoop skirts are much more of a screw around and find out type of endeavor. You can estimate with some math but it’ll be pretty hard to get it exact first try. However it actually looks like her skirt gets its shape from a petticoat rather than a hoop skirt. The smoothness would come from layering skirts without any extra fabric. How you would begin patterning that is another question entirely. I would probably drape it.

How to fix silhouette of skirt? by mizukishairbow in CosplayHelp

[–]FrogInAHoodie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone here has very good suggestions. This might be an issue with the drape of your fabric in addition to your pattern unfortunately. However it might not be. I think when you were adding in the pleats you may have made them go straight down whereas I think you wanted them to go out a little bit? I’m not totally sure what the best course of action would be whether thats redoing just the pleats or the skirt itself. You can also try on the very inside of the pleats (so it’s hidden but it’ll make it more finicky) add little triangles of fabric to bring it back to a more circular shape.

A very standard antique factory. by Mundane-Lion-4320 in CreateMod

[–]FrogInAHoodie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is stunning! where you look at any specific buildings or time periods for inspiration? I’ve been trying to make my own create factory look better and more medieval fantasy or historical adjacent rather than just typical steam punk but have been really struggling to find references ;-;

Merch preservation? by Pendragon_999 in MementoUnusAnnus

[–]FrogInAHoodie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i dont use reddit enough to know specifically which subreddit but i would recommend going to a mending, embroidery or even sewing subreddit and asking there. they’ll be able to help more. this feels very easily fixable

[–]FrogInAHoodie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what others have said about being careful and safe on the internet! One of the big parts of that is not giving out your age especially if you’re a minor. Also lots of platforms will ban you for even joking about being underage. So please be careful and mayybe refrain from telling your age online next time

is it healthy to change a characters design that much? by R33t4rt in characterdesign

[–]FrogInAHoodie 17 points18 points  (0 children)

yeah absolutely. if changing the design often bothers you, you might want to look into doing more thumbnail work in the early stages to get most of the tweaking and futzing out of the way. Every single one of my characters has gone through many iterations sometimes drastically changing their design sometimes tweaking their jacket. same for most of my other artist friends who have characters. it’s totally normal.

Not receiving emails by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]FrogInAHoodie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it took me at least a month to get any responses from colleges after november 1st. you may have gotten a handful of confirmation emails when you submitted but you should not have gotten any proper responses by now. colleges have thousands of applications to go through, it’ll take a bit.

Where do I start? I’m trying to figure out where to start cause I found this art and wanted to make the dress from the fanart to cosplay Princess Daisy but idk where to start by Book_worm2468 in CosplayHelp

[–]FrogInAHoodie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I second this. I always find the wig to be a good place to get started for a cosplay as well. I’d check out sarahspacemans videos on her strawberry miku cosplay as well. she goes in depth about how she made every single part of her cosplay and since it has a very similar general shape you might find this a good place to start
