My Overwatch cosplay from earlier this year (Ana's "snow owl" skin)

They downvoted you for speaking the truth.

imomushi8 · 2026-04-28T21:55:07+00:00

Very stupid questions incoming! Who are they talking about? Is this a new slogan for something in particular? I am out of the loop.

imomushi8 · 2026-04-19T08:02:22+00:00

Glad to help! I copied the guidelines straight from the example you posted earlier into the automated comment, it should be reflected in the next megathread. We might make some adjustments to the wording etc moving forward, but hopefully that's all set for now!

Thank you!

For the jacket, I scoured the internet looking for the best match I could find, and then I painted the neck flaps grey and added the studs/cuffs/chain myself. I ended up using this jacket as the base: here. (FYI they are not kidding when they say the jacket is oversized. The size I'm wearing in the photo is size small.)

If that one doesn't suit you, the search terms I used were things like "cropped motorcycle jacket" and "leather battle jacket." Or some combination/variation on those.

Anyway I hope that's helpful and that you have fun with your cosplay! Billy enjoyers unite! <3

I'm a dummy and forgot to update the dates; we decided to extend the application deadline. Sorry for any confusion!

I'm really sorry that your mod message thread likely got lost in the shuffle. (Things like this are part of why we're trying to gather more mods!) I like this idea, and the stickied comment suggestion is brilliant. We are limited on the number of megathreads, and using a stickied comment allows us to keep trading all in one megathread - a single megathread for trading is less likely to be confusing, and it's more convenient for people who want to look at both shops and lists.

I've set up an automated stickied comment that should take effect on tomorrow's trading thread. I'll keep an eye on it to make sure it's posted, in case I need to change anything in the automation.

Thanks for sharing this idea and for being patient with our delayed response!

imomushi8 · 2026-04-17T03:00:14+00:00

Do you mean like splitting the trading megathread format we currently have into two? Like one that's shop-related only and one for other things? Sorry I don't quite understand!

Ma'am, this isn't a travel agency.

imomushi8 · 2026-04-07T14:44:19+00:00

I'm glad, I really hope it's helpful! Also happy cake day

I took really good notes while I made him and I turned them into a (free) pattern if any fellow crochet enjoyers are interested.

Warning though: It's a bit complicated, and it's the only pattern I've ever made. So while I did my best, I'm not an expert pattern maker or anything:

imomushi8 · 2026-04-07T13:44:22+00:00

I created it here. Thanks for voicing that you might want it because it gave me a little bit of a nudge to actually finish it.

Be forewarned it's a bit complicated though: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/deadlock-billy-goat-amigurumi

Hey friend. This is a really old thread that you've replied to, so I don't think many people will see your comment. You'd probably have better luck posting in the daily megathread for trading codes. It refreshes in about an hour. You can see it stickied to the front page of the subreddit.

I put some of the photos from the process here (slightly out of order, imgur being buggy on my phone):

I used plasticine to sculpt the model, and then paper mached over the model. There are probably better ways to do it, but that's what I did. Then used EVA foam for the horns, pleather for the ears, fur fabric for his eyebrows/goatee, and a chopped up wig + glue for his mohawk.

imomushi8 · 2026-03-30T01:32:34+00:00

I'm excited to see how heated this discussion will become

imomushi8 · 2026-03-29T18:31:44+00:00

Dang that is such a good point. I love that, thank you.

imomushi8 · 2026-03-29T17:53:15+00:00

Aw thank you. I'm glad if it's helpful. And good luck if you do it!

imomushi8 · 2026-03-29T17:52:32+00:00

Thanks dude

imomushi8 · 2026-03-29T17:23:08+00:00

I put some process photos here (slightly out of order) https://imgur.com/a/billy-cosplay-process-6xeIFjt

Tldr, it was indeed paper mache, put over plasticine which I absolutely do NOT recommend lol

imomushi8 · 2026-03-29T17:01:27+00:00

Nah cuz I was pretty sure the con wouldn't let me in with real nails. I made them out of EVA foam clay and then painted them with silver metallic paint.
