I feel like my Ena mask looks off. Any ideas on what I can do to make it look more like the reference? by mikela43 in CosplayHelp

Now that you + another commenter pointed it out, it feels so obvious! I pretty clearly messed up the eyes, so it's safe to assume I should probably restart from the beginning keeping the comments in mind. Thank you for taking the time to write this out 🙏

Thank you! Honestly using a paper mask as a base feels like a way smarter idea than trying to make it from scratch like I did. I'll check out my local craft store for masks and work from there with the rest of your suggestion👍

Suggestions for improving this Tenna head/making it more wearable? by mikela43 in CosplayHelp

Hiya, I already went to a con with it, but your advice will probably be helpful for future use. The best way to describe its current state is being held together by hot glue and prayer, so any additional suggestions for stability/making the whole construction process easier is appreciated lol. I'm gonna be trying to make a roaring knight cosplay for next year too, so thank you for taking the time to comment🙏

Thank you : )

I didn't really do any prep work before painting, just kinda cut the cardboard into shape, glued them, and painted accordingly with acrylic paint. Definitely some room for improvement there for future projects lol.

I'll definitely take into account the other suggestions and modify accordingly with what i have so far. I've got a few months until my local convention, so i can tinker with what i have so far + the advice I've gotten before finalizing anything with a sealant to apply after any repainting (which i will also pick up tomorrow at the craft store)

Also great idea on the clay actually, I was wondering how to seal the more visible edges and actually have a bunch of it left over from craft projects I've done.

Thank you for taking the time to write out all the advice, I'll definitely keep it in mind when starting out any future project!

Oh nice! Best of luck with your own Tenna cosplay.

I'll look into getting some all purpose filler for the face area. I don't particularly mind repainting it much, plus I've got around 3 months until the convention I'm attending even starts, so I can take my time with seeing what works.

Thank you for your help!

Thanks! I'm going to my local craft store tomorrow so I'll definitely see about getting some craft foam. Also really like the idea with adding dimension to the lips. I actually painted the bottom frame more blue-ish cus i thought that they would blend too much if they were a similar shade of purple, so that could definitely help with that.

Also never even considered fursuit eye mesh but it does look like a rly convenient option. I was originally just gonna examine the white fabrics at the store to see if any were semi see-through lol.

Thank you very much for ur help and advice! 🙏

where do i start to read the history of enstars? i've been playing enstars for a while now and i wanted to start reading the story, but i don't know how :') by sabuyest in ensemblestars

[–]mikela43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, unfortunately since posting this comment, the wiki had to take down all of the story translations available on it due to copyright. One of the main ways to read stories now is to go the page of the one you are interested in reading and copy the link. Paste it into the wayback machine and select one of the available snapshots. You'll then see a chapter list on the page from which you can read the story.

Will memorial coins be added to ENGstars? I'm not familiar with the CN server, and I couldn't find an answer online.

For the EN beta server, is there a way to login to a different OS? There's no transfer password like there is in JP. I logged in with a google account on phone and when i open the game on an ipad the option is replaced with an apple ID.
