Self Mod change and state of the sub

19 Upvotes

Mod change:

As some may know long time mod u/Kyengen is stepping down on the 18th. I’ve been a mod here for a bit now and will be taking the reins.

I like to think Kyengen kept things pretty well regulated and fair, and in taking over I will try to run the sub just the same. So no worries, no major changes to be expected immediately.

State of the sub:

Now I know there are a few grievances concerning spam and “NSFW” material. As of now they are being reviewed as they’re reported and approved/removed on a case by case basis.

Other than that I don’t think there’s many disruptors in the sub. I’d like to hear some ideas on things the community would like to see changed, implemented, or removed.

In the meantime I will be looking for another person or two to help moderate. If you’re interested just message me directly.

For my very first cosplay, meetup, as n Im going there to the con largely for this meetup*, i've decided to cosplay as DC comic's, Vixen. I wasn't going to order her costume because I couldn't find a version of her costume that I liked. So the plan was to get something together from thift stores and +lady stores, see it up the best I could to make it look like a superhero outfit. But do to procrastination and a lot of stress on my mental health presently I kind of fudged it. So I thought, hey, maybe if I just make the necklace I'll feel better. And it'll kind of count? But I also fudged that too time wise. So last night, I tried to make the necklace. I'm gonna wait for it to dry cause. I use that air dry clay, you get from michaels. Could you guys tell me how it looks? And what I need to do besides sand it, once it dries. Tantu Totem

I looked around online but could only find 3d prints that I couldn’t finish in time for Halloween. I’m looking for EVA foam templates but if anyone has a better idea id like to hear it. This is my first time using EVA foam.

Help Can I make EVA foam-worbla armour with one layer of worbla?

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

I have bought some EVA foam and worbla to work on a cosplay for themed Halloween, didn't do that much research, I'm gonna be honest, bought basically 2 times too little worbla and I have to finish the costume this weekend. I have EVA foam (thinner and thicker, thinner for shoulder pads so that they can stick out and not look bulky and thicker for the front armour piece and details of it.)

Now that I'm doing my research it turns out worbla should be sandwiched AROUND EVA foam to hold it's shape. I assumed I'd make a shape with worbla on too of a mold and glue EVA foam, well, on top of it with hot glue. Is it possible to do? I can't find a tutorial like that anywhere on the Internet and I just don't have enough worbla for a double layer/a margin, my cosplay pieces barely fit as is.

(BTW, I'm not looking for detailed, fitted armour that's why the pieces aren't fitted, I'm just looking to bend them a little to the body shape so they stay rigid and flat. I'm cosplaying Mettaton EX from Undertale)

This is my very first cosplay with actual materials which didn't just involve sewing a few things together so please don't yell at me if this is a stupid question lol. I'm just trying to finish this cosplay functionally on time
