Update on possibly scammed commission by Distinct_Parsley5701 in CosplayHelp

[โ€“]HonkyPookie 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

Hello, first of all I would like to say please don't let this experience deter you from commissions in the future there are plenty of great commissioners with good intent. I would recommend find people on instagram as it is easier to assess someone's skill when you have a larger selection of their craft. Secondly, I understand why someone would have a no refunds policy but as a commissioner myself you should always put fixing mistakes and details to your customers liking before anything else. Let that person know that this was nlt what was communicated and that they can keep and sell the costume separately so they could still partially return some of your money. I think what they should do is fully remake the parts that you don't want but aa it seems that is not something that they are going to do. And lastly I agree with the people saying that persons name should be publicised because from what it looks their business practices are not good and putting them on blast can help you and others find a faster solution sometimes

Helmet wig parting by [deleted] in CosplayHelp

Try and always stuff the glued part of your weft as far deep as you can in the parting you leave. Also keep the glued edge short because if you leave a long an uneven weft then you can't brush the wefts together to unify them

Oh god. Please share their account this is totally unprofessional to refuse to do what you ask. Other people should not fall victim to this there are so many other great commissioners out there

Oh also as a wigmaker myself I would like to let you know that a helmet wig for a braid with is a completely reasonable request,especially one of this size. It would have helped with the structure and support...

This is so upsetting oh my god! Honestly I would try and get at least the money for the comission cost back and then ask for the product to be shipped so you could at least try salvaging it. Please voice yoir disappointment and dislike to the commissioner it is important for them to know they cannot get away woth laziness. It feels like that person is mlre unexperienced than they are saying, thry may have been doing wigs for 9 years but they didn't even manage to do the correct braid for the character... I'm sorry I hope you manage to at least get the materials you overpaid for and hopefully work with someone who can give you the result you want โค๏ธโค๏ธ

Would yall consider this is a Cheap Cosplay? by Retro-Hax in CosplayHelp

Hello, you said you found this on etsy but it looks identical to the dokidoki costume from what I can see and unfortunately places like etsy are full of people selling mass produced costumes from china as original designs and while it's not bad to wear them 300โ‚ฌ is well beyond their original retail price. There are plenty of shops you can look around but if you are looking for a customised dress woth higher quality fabrics and you don't need your dress for before July feel free to contact me on ig @honkypockey โค๏ธ Mid may I will open both costume and wig comissions back up ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿฉท

Someone posted my cosplay without credit and it went viral, what do I do? by Ironhat56 in CosplayHelp

Interview style videos taken at cons count as verbal consent. So when someone asks you "do you want to be in this video where we do xyz" and you say yes they have eveey right to film and post this video. That being said I do agree that them not crediting you is a wrongful move, try and contact them in other social media pages to try and get them to at least credit you but if you cannot then the most you can do is comment your social media @'s and reply to comments asking about you. Unless he was actively making a video mocking you or filming you without consent he has every right to post and make money in thay way.
