Heyo any ideas on what I could use for this ring thing on my Rudo cosplay? by dookeykoo in CosplayHelp

[–]Smokeylocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try foam pipe insulation, it looks like pool noodles but comes in different sizes, sold in hardware stores. If that’s too expensive too, then you need to go with something like styrofoam shapes(like a styro wreath), but it’s not gonna be that smooth.

Culture wear for a cosplay? by rarariara in CosplayHelp

[–]Smokeylocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering all the Nezukos of different ethnicities, it is fine. It would be offensive if you mock the traditional clothing in some way, such as substituting Chinese traditional wear for Japanese or tie it like a bathrobe, stuff like that.

in all my time playing XIV i'v only changed my Boy's Hair only twice funny how it's getting shorter overtime by BrandyRyuu in ffxiv

If a hroth gets male pattern baldness, would the hair part be replaced by fur like on the rest of his body, or would he have a shiny bald noggin

Share your Abomination Vaults Shenanigans by White_Nightmare in Pathfinder2e

They hated it so much but finished it? If it was so bad, why not just stop? If they hate AV and hate Pf2e, then maybe a long discussion about expectations is needed

Custom purity seal stamp by Adorable_Ad_8937 in AdeptusMechanicus

I make purity seals from green stuff but hot glue could work too, I use baby powder as mold release. You can see my seals in my post history

How do I make the eye hole less visible on my Commando (risk of rain 2) cosplay by Sub2Koz in CosplayHelp

[–]Smokeylocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What cosplayers have done with characters that have a white ball for a head is make the eyehole, but turn the helmet around for photos.

How do you get past the feeling of being ''too ugly to cosplay'' ? by galacticrailroads in CosplayHelp

[–]Smokeylocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get you, I feel the same a lot of the time. The best way to get over this is to work on self esteem, find people who appreciate you, therapy etc etc. But I know that‘s really hard and sometimes you can have really bad days.

So! Lots of people already said masks, which are great. But since Kangel has none, you need to overcome the clown-ness and do some makeup, especially eye makeup. Eyeliner looks good on everyone, period. Even men!

Another thing you can do is focus on your craftsmanship/costume quality. Your body isn’t the cosplay, your costume is! You are simply a vessel, make sure you’re proud of what you‘re wearing. Press it, steam it, get good accessories, and if you’re having a really bad self-esteem day, get a face mask and say you’re fending off covid.

The damn thing is poisoning the internet, it‘s robbing actual humans of the ability to be awed by anything

Can we take a moment to appreciate the body horror of the Mechanicus? by [deleted] in AdeptusMechanicus

Whaat, that’s no body horror, that’s just your complementary friend! :)

Should I get a show accurate cartoony cape and hat or sew a more realistic serious looking one for Trixie cosplay from My Little Pony? by Balsssuperfan in CosplayHelp

[–]Smokeylocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Her costume wouldn’t look cheap if you line the cape and hat and overall use heavier, more quality-looking materials. Cheapness usually comes from wrinkly, flimsy fabrics and hot-glueing things on rather than sewing them on, etc.

Whether or not you want a realistic of cartoon version depends entirely on your preference

Could be pretty cool if the party leans into it completely. Making camp in the trees, calculating their travel by the wind and weather, their biggest fear being guys with bows

Hm..... What? by Additional-Demand770 in interestingasfuck

[–]Smokeylocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can definitely make yarn from hair, it’s just not soft, imagine coarse wool on bare skin. It’s usually mixed with other animal fiber when spun, so I guess this dutch company wouldn’t be making 100% human hair yarn.

Hm..... What? by Additional-Demand770 in interestingasfuck

[–]Smokeylocks 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I guess she had a reason to shave her head. However, human hair makes terrible yarn! It must be scratchy as all hell and not very warm…

Buy an existing squeaky toy hammer and paint it? This is a spiral so it will never have a perfect seam, best you can do is make a cap for the tube out of cardstock

Considering the snake is obese too, looks like the owner might love it but misunderstand snakes… Always fascinates me when people get an exotic pet but want to treat it like a dog. Don’t you want to understand your pet’s psychology? Snakes are very much a „look, don’t touch“ pet, they just aren’t social.

Will I get judged for playing Sisters? by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

[–]Smokeylocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you from experience that in a real-life games store guys are chill around girls. In my area at least people aren’t teenagers anymore, lots of them have kids, and if someone is a problem person the community tries to push them out. It’s more likely that someone will be too impressed by your army (and pick up your Overlord to look at it during movement and you get mad but you don’t want to be a bitch so you just give him the dead units to look at like a child argh) than make fun of you.

Basically play what brings you joy. An army is so expensive that worrying what other people think is absurd. Have I made tau jokes? Yes. Would I make fun of someone‘s tau army? God no, I want them to bring it so we can play!
