CSCC - Chicken Smoothie Cosplay Club!

[★Hoshi★]

i'm going to a con soon (woohoo!) and am just wondering (since i plan on starting a new cosplay as soon as i get back) if there's any place to get sheets of eva foam and worbla for cheap- if any of you know (i'm in canada) online shops that you find reliable that would be great! my favourite shop shut down about a month ago so i'm seriously in need of some more stuff hehe

-- any help is appreciated since every other shop i've seen is super costly!

ay!!
Also, i cant help with worbla, but!
TnTcosplaySupply sells Foam Sheets and i've always had great service and luck with them!
+ they also sell foam clay and precut foam dowels to so <^<;

ahh my mandalorian helmet arrived in the mail!! i'm so pumped to work on this cosplay X)
has anyone here ever worked with 3D printed stuff before? this is my first piece so any advice would be awesome!

Most of my stuff for a con in a month is still big time in transit

but I think that con might get cancelled anyway

can we reboot earth and update the antiviral software please?


- Edit-
My con got postponed until august
dance group that I was due to perform with is disappointed

keep an eye on the social media for events you plan on attending, and if you're travelling hopefully you can get relevant refunds

Here's a picture of me in my Zer0 cosplay helmet I got from Etsy!

You can't see my face so it's allowed


The con was cancelled but I'm still gonna sadly soldier on in this cosplay tbh

I want to cosplay at cons and I also want to enter competitions/contest at cons.

For someone that’s just starting to cosplay would it be better to do a hallway competition/contest at my first con, or is it best to just dive in head first and enter a fashion show (I don’t want to do a skit) wherein I have to go on stage?

I also don’t plan to make cosplay from scratch, and instead plan to alter clothing that already exist.
Will doing this make it so that I can’t enter competitions/contest and/or greatly decrease my chances of placing?

EDIT:
If it matters, I won’t be doing any of this anytime soon because of the coronavirus.

Enter a hallway/walk-on contest! Best place to gain experience. If you aren't making something that is at least 75% handmade (rules vary at cons from 50-90% self-made) then you probably won't be able to enter a lot of contests and you will not be able to enter in craftmanship judging.

Thanks for the info!
For my first con I’ll probably definitely enter a hallway/walk-on contest/comp (if I can, LOL).
Even if can’t enter a contest/comp I still plan to cosplay though. (^ u ^)

That's awesome! Cosplay for the sake of fun is still cosplay!

I have been cosplaying for 8 years and making my own stuff for 3, but I've never entered a contest lol-- it's definitely not a requirement!
