#2, HELL YEAH.

Also, Gin and Tonic is tasty.

Does it have to be ultra amazing quality?

That mask is amazing.

I am neither the Solly nor the Heavy, but I love this picture.

Because I can't get enough of this picture. FAGS you say? Yeah? and what of it? (hurpdurp)

HELMET PARTY HARD

hurf

JUST SO YOU GUYS KNOW I posted many of the lost pictures on Cosplay Paheal over time. http://cosplay.paheal.net/post/list/Team_Fortress_2/1
Just skim through there, you might find your lost favorites again.

Attached picture is an example of what's on Cosplay Paheal.

I'll see your tonic and raise you...Srumpy.

For the lulz, testing photoshop...still need to learn how to properly shop a beard though :I

> Hey, someone cosplayed Pyro.
> Aww, Pywo is confused.
> Save image and look elsewhere for five minutes.
> Wait, someone cosplayed /Pyro/?!

>>17

Oh hell nah!

((BTW, the Scrumpy looks fucking amazing. If I had that bottle I would totally fill it up with drinks at cons and carry it around like a boss))

No-one here but us Pyros

>>25
May I ask where you got your supplies for your costume? (If you're the Pyro in the pic)

>>28
I'm actually the Spy in this, but I can vouch for my Pyro's materials - he handmade the Axetinguisher, the flashbangs, and the hat (and the unseen but fucking amazing oxygen tank), and the internet took care of everything else.

Here's another image, for reasons of fucking awesomeness.

>>25

tru dat

>>32
Well I'd really love to know where he got that jumpsuit, everytime I search for a red jumpsuit, I either get Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, or fetish sites. >_>

>>38
You could try searching for coveralls or utility suits.

Cute pyro bro

acen dump, what? isn't that con 6 months old?

maybe it is, but I would drink to it

things aren't so bad with family and friends

Unless your mom is a tramp. (I love you, Panda)

Spy what are you doing to the dock door, your penis does not go there.

Little sentry was sapped and even lvl 3 cried that day...

Hey, where did you get this?!

That's actually me as the Sniper and my lil' bro as Scout...

I'll post a few things from various stuff.

Lithefider as Medic and me as Scout taken at the beginning of the year.

I named him Butthead. He didn't answer to it though.

Group shot from Ikkicon 2010. The only con you'll ever see with more BLUs than REDs.

I need to make more use of my shamwow.
Anime Expo 2010

Making bacon with the RED Engie at Anime Weekend Atlanta 2010.

And a group shot from AWA on Saturday night. I'm done though I've got a lot more stored away.

Dicks everywhere

>>32
Okay, after hours of searching on Google, I still can't find this RED Pyro suit, if anyone can find it for me (or if Juan could ask his Pyro where he got it), I will be eternally grateful.

Pepper why would you post the picture where my dreadlocks are showing.
That is so out of character.

I like this picture.

>>91
Oh.

But soldier and medic macking is not? You so silly

>>86
HERE LET ME EBAY THAT FOR YOU

>Post anything.

Well, I have a question, then.

If you get individual details on a cosplay wrong on purpose, like, for a budget or because you're cosplaying for fun or to be stupid, that's okay, right? Like, if you don't have the exact bag for Scout or you have a shirt with a design on it for Sniper but you're just cosplaying for fun or to add a little swagger to be cute and gay--like having a girly bag if you're being a female Scout or making fun of him--that's okay, right? I mean, I know it's not okay for a photoshoot, but it's...not considered bad, is it? Especially when it's obvious the changes you're making aren't because you're incompetent?

>>121
My Engie in >>80 is incomplete and therefore far from accurate. I don't even have overalls yet. Heck even my Scout could use more accurate pants if not a few other very small things.

It's going to vary person to person on what degree of accuracy or lack there of is acceptable. But from my personal experience at cons themselves, everyone is just happy to see other fans of TF2 and we all hang out and have a blast regardless.

>>121
It rubs a lot of the diehards the wrong way but I don't really care. I suppose it's all about what kind of image you want to put out- a casual, an attention whorey female, an accuracy freak who's way too much into the game, etc.

>>130
>>170

Two opinions are enough to settle my mind.

Thank you, because it had been itching the back of my mind for a while, since my cosplays often have obviously changed details that I try my hardest not to let it seem I'm incompetent when it comes to the character's design. I could honestly care less about diehards, though, because even though they're great in numbers, they're few when it comes to conventions in my state. I was just wondering if overall that was a bad idea, but I'm glad to see it isn't. Thank you.

Yulp.

>>121

It depends. If you are going to a convention for fun, of course -- dress up in whatever you please. I would definitely encourage you to dress up when you go to conventions, because it makes the experience that much better. But if you are going for the purpose of being in cosplay, people are going to judge your work on accuracy and craftsmanship. If you attend a photoshoot, then you'd better be prepared to be criticized if you enter the lenses of the photographers. People are going to keep look at that picture of you and pick it apart. In short: if you don't want your cosplay judged, don't put yourself in those types of situations.

where's the like button
this place sucks

>>174
All those costumes rock. Quick question- how did the soldier make his belt and bandolier?

>>193

I'll ask her to come on here and let you know. I believe it's the green foam that you can buy at craft supply stores and JoAnns, covered in pleather. That way you get depth and width and the look without the weight. :]

>>116
Okay, I really hate to sound like a snob or a jerk, but are you sure that's the same one? because the jumpsuit in >>25 and >>32 doesn't look like cotton or polyester, yet the one you link to is Polycotton. (Also, the one in the pics has two chest pockets)

Once again, I apologize if I sound like a snob, or if I sound stubborn, but I really want to be accurate, and the jumpsuit in the pictures looks extremely accurate.

>>212

Not OP here, but I'm almost 100% sure they're the same. I looked closely at the reference photos and at the jumpsuit linked. I used the same one (or a very similar one) for my Pyro cosplay and it turned out looking about like that in photos.

For reference, here's a shot of my Pyro with what I believe is the jumpsuit linked in the other post and in the photos. Resemblance?

>>212
Unfortunately, it is. The slight shine on my Pyro's suit came from the polyester content of the suit. If it were REALLY accurate, it would be made of pleather or rubber - pic related, the one on the left - but it isn't, and he still looked pretty fab.

And nah, you don't sound like a snob. Bit of a knob, though. herp

>>195
Holy balls that's genius. And thanks a lot!

>>217
Hrrm, alrighty then.

If anyone has suggestions as to where I could find a good Pyro suit, let me know. D:

Good lord, looking at all this excellence makes me wish my costume was a bit better.
But then I remember that it's my first Con and then I don't feel as bad.

But yes! This was at Halcon, it's first year, so there wasn't a lot of TF2 besides me and my roomies.

It was so much fun.

>>243
What are you talking about? I like what I see! Your Equalizer is funny. Also, neat Soldier's Stash.

yo whats up.
i mean, hudda hudda huh

We had a cosplay club photoshoot the other day.
Of the basically two pics I got of myself, this made me smile.
Fuck you Bro-Ohio State University.

>>18
I saw your nails, then I wondered why that guy had lady nails. Then I looked at your general facial structure and was like, wait, is she a girl with a beard? Then the thought of a girl shaving her beard made me shiver and I began hoping it was a shop and I read the text. I was rather relieved.

(i.e; damn son you have some serious beard shopping skills.)

Did I ever tell you about the time I was a BLU Scout?

Derping around again, and still trying to learn how to properly shop a fucking beard.

Another one.
Aaah, the smell of cigarettes, aftershave and a certain french man.

So, it was halloween and...

I'm trying for a scout cosplay this year for Otakon. Wondering where the hell I can get his 'backpack' looking thing?

Also, the headset is going to be a little hard without actually customizing it a bit first.

Otakon doesn't allow live steel, so I'll either get a Sandman lookalike or one of the fake bats and spraypaint it metallic.

>>394
Why don't you ask in our fabulous stickied thread?

>>394
I found getting one of those fake red plastic bats from the dollar store, and spraying it with silver metallic krylon worked quite well, yet it does flake a bit... but the red shining through kinda makes it look like blood, so it's not that bad.

Pic related

>>394
I just use a Wifflebat taped up like the Sandman. It's not the most accurate, but the yellow matches the Team Fortress 2 color scheme pretty well.

>>217
Oh hey, that's me, actually. :D
I left a lot of parts of my costume at home though, so I looked pretty shit. I ended up not wearing it much because of that.

Here's a more recent shot of me from a convention in October.

>>496
Ah, oops.

Damn you medigun, why must you have so many odd parts and joints... Well, at least from here it's a whole bunch of small parts and the handle

Back from this past ACen. Mind the obnoxious photoshop, was originally going to be made into a comic by a friend of mine.

>>517
Those proportions my god

People like you give me hope.

>>517
The whole thing is wood? How heavy is it?

I just got sock garters for my RED Spy cosplay and they're GORGEOUS. I have to show them off somewhere. I don't care if no one will technically be seeing them. I'm a sucker for authenticity. (That, and c'mon; sock garters are fucking awesome.)

>>546 I've been meaning to buy some myself! Fffff my god they are hot. Are those from Sockdreams? I was going to get suspender clip ones as I am worried the typical garter nubs won't hold all socks...

>>546
Lovvvve sock garters. I haven't yet seen a Spy cosplayer showing them off. Lovely!

>>547
They are from Sockdreams! I got them as an early Christmas present from a fellow cosplayer friend. They're the nubs and they seem to be holding up the socks just fine. I have yet to wear them for an extended period of time, but they've done well so far!

>>546

He's totally grooving on it.

Old pic of me as scout xP wore it for Halloween, but never got to wear it to a con or anything :c

If I get to go to a con though I'm gonna take lots of fanservice pics with other classes hopefully c:

My darl' as BLU Spy...goddamn, I'm glad that the jacket is finally sewn and finished, now we just need to finish my RED Engie completely.

You, anon, are great.
I, however, am horribly biased.

ha ha ha ha, Is surprises me that I was there for 40%+ of these pictures. Or at least at their conventions.

>>662

Biased towards...? (if I may ask)

Maybe later I'll make a tutorial on how I made da fish, for future milkmans.

There was a Joey there as well. And yes, it was top percentage.

Oh. Hello there.

Found another. Probably the best Sniper I've seen.

>>848

Grikk is so awesome. I remember the Dagorhir camp-out that he and Sarge were at when we began talking about TF2 and they started quoting Sniper and Soldier perfectly and decided they were going to cosplay them.

Nicest dudes ever. They're gonna be at Ohayocon too.

AND HE WAS THE TINIEST ENGINEER

Derping around again. Jesus, I need someone to hold my goddamn camera.

I lost the one where my hand was on his butt.

There are probably loads of Sniper vest tutorials out there, but I can't find a really good/clear one. Does anybody have one to share? Any help is much appreciated!

>>848
I tagged him with his cosplay.com handle here:

http://cosplay.paheal.net/post/list/Citadel/1

Enjoy.

>>904

I'm hoping on Saturday night (5th US), I'll be able to do a UStream camera feed on the construction of my Sniper vest. If anyone's interested, I'll post a link on the proper thread for live streaming (or here if it's okay with the mods.) I normally am not good at explaining things but really good at showing how it's done. I'll be sure to let you guys know when the stream will be if I am able to do so Saturday night my time.

>>928
Would you mind recording it and putting it on Youtube?

I'm in so many of these, how delightful.

>>930

Maybe not Youtube, since more than likely the stream will be several hours long. So I'll just record it and archive it on my Ustream channel. My Youtube channel is rarely used and normally just used for showcasing some completed costumes or what extremely rare amvs I make up.

>>940
Then post the link to your channel in the cosplay help thread when you can! It would be very useful.

A friend of mine brought in a big, yellow hardhat into class the other day.

"What's that for?"

"To protect me from my math test later."

"Can... can I steal it from you?"

"No."

I was so sad. She isn't even a TF2 fan and she won't tell me were she got it.

>>2233

Scout's bat needs the oval, Sasha and the Heavy's bullets are teenytiny, Medic's coat is too white, Sniper's vest needs bias tape and pockets (and to go find some boots), and the Spy needs to look at goddamn reference pictures and realize that nothing on his outfit is black.

In general the Scout, Medic, and Heavy are pretty good; all of their costumes are pretty spot-on outside of the complaints up there. Medic's coat is well-constructed and the Scout is pretty much perfect. Sniper and Spy are absolute messes.

Zen Soldier

Just being silly mercenaries.

>>2241
holy shit, your comment made me realize that the sniper's shoes weren't boots.
now i'm dying of laughter because baggy pants+sneakers makes it look like sniper suddenly decided to take up hip-dop dancing or something

>>2263
Maybe he was doing some team bonding with the Demoman (ideally both wearing Dangeresque Shades).

>>923
Oh sweet Jesus.

I laughed so hard at the socks + sandals combo.

>>655

Das a pretty durn good spy.

>>394

For my costume, I just sewed some black fabric into a black cylinder and stuffed it like a pillow. It looks really good, so I bet if you have any friend that sews, you could ask them to help you with it.

So today I made a Tin Soldier costume in 15 minutes, so I wouldn't have to wear my uniform to work. (Which was in the wash.) This is what I got. It really sucks, but considering I made it in 15 minutes, I was pleased. I work at Chapters Indigo, so it was pretty lulzy walking around going beep boop, and shouting 'I STOLE THIS JOB FROM A CANADIAN WEREWOLF!' in the Chapters vest. It was even more lulzy when someone came up to me and screamed 'MAGGOT, DO YOU STILL NEED A ROOMMATE?!' : D

I was so happy. :3 (But really, I know it sucks. )

If I ever find the time and money, I shall properly complete this project.

Boy this prop has been sitting around unfinished forever.

>>2290
buy a cow heart

Building a robot hand.

Hopefully I shall be able to get some plastic glue/solvent so I can make the final version of this in styrene.

and honestly I might commission you to make another once I see the end product

maybe we can tradsies on some of my goggles teehee

I demand an explanation.

>>2352

Well, this was my second year at HalCon, you can actually see my first year up here ((lol)) >>243

But yeah, first year I was there, I met a really nice/funny guy in a Ghostbusters costume.
His costume was super impressive, especially since i don't do too much cosplaying myself.

So we took a bunch of pictures, and talked, and said that we hoped to see each other next year.


In the end we did, and this year HalCon was moved to a newer, bigger building, because it was so successful the previous year.

So we had a big costume contest.

He entered it and won for uh, Best Props I think? He either got First or Second, I don't remember, but the blow up Stay Puft Marshmallow man was part of his costume.

So me and my buddy were just sitting on the side of the lobby, cooling off after playing some Kinect Dancing game, ((LOL)), I was in my Solly costume, and he was Pyro, so we were both pretty warm at that point, since we were wearing multiple layers, and Ghostbuster guy comes up excitedly, since he recognized us from previous year.

He told me that his Stay Puft was set up down the hall if we wanted to take some pictures with it, so we did!

I also have some pictures of another one of my buddies who was part of our TF2 group, a Medic, with Stay Puft too.

I plan on shopping some glowing effects from his Medigun to Stay Puft, I'm sure you've seen the GMod pictures I'm referencing.

Anyways, here's buddy, his costume was awesome.
And all his props lit up and moved and shit.

It was awesome.

>>2353

Awesome sauce. Ghostbusters is a classic.

I always smile when I go through this thread and see people I've cosplayed with before. Warms my dern heart.

On a more pic-related note... I'd call this a fair trade.

>>848
oh god. He is fuckin adorable.

>>2294
gp on, it's looks very good

been working on this baby for couple days, it's not finished yet but how do you guys like it?

Do you want an honest opinion?

>>2418

I saw this on DA.

>"bit more paint, one part, and clue! and it's finished ! :D"

I can appreciate the use of duct tape, my launcher is full of it in >>2321 unfortunately, but the gun itself seems a little scruffy.

The shape looks good, but the paint you chose is matte and unflattering.

If you used a reflective paint instead I think that it would improved the look of it greatly.

This shot was the best one in my opinion from the mini shoot me and a few other people I met at the Sac Anime Valve gathering did. Thought I would post it here to share!

>>2422
Hey I saw you guys posing for this. I was in the giant ass line for autographs. I didn't get my Scout costume done in time for this one but I'll deffinetly be wearing it for the next one.

Femgie/Spy fluff.

Me as a Gunslinger Engineer this past convention! It was fun.

>>2484
Gunslinger is on the wrong arm. >_>

>>2487
Oh, I know, haha. This was intentional. My left arm is actually crippled so it wouldn't have made sense if I put it on my good arm and then went the whole convention with no mobility whatsoever. I was surprised no one at the convention noticed it was on the wrong arm, actually.
I'm Sorry. Maybe I should have flipped it before posting!

>>2489
Damn, that sucks :(

Have you considering having your hand amputated and replaced with a robotic arm? :D

>>2484
That is one amazing Gunslinger. How'd you make it? From what I can see it looks almost like foam or something...?

We had nice photo shoot in Desucon Finland, it's just shame that Tf2 Cosplayers are rare in here :'I here is one picture, I would love to have some feedback about our costumes

Super old picture of me as scout from like 2010.

I'm planning on bringing the cosplay out again for a local con here this summer.

So Sydney Supanova was pretty fun

I thought I'd post some more recent stuff, so here's some good ol' Scout abuse from a recent shoot.

Injury makeup is really fun to do.

From this past Saturday at Anime Expo. My first cosplay and there's several things I would change, the major thing being the crooked team patches (I can't iron). If I were to do BLU Engineer again, I'd change everything but the helmet and goggles, find better fitting clothes, etc.

Was cosplaying red sniper. Was late to the Valve gathering at 10. But still had a good time meeting some random peeps.

TF2 fans were a bit nutty. But you can't expect anything less.

Just thought I'd post this here
Posted the first batch of Anime Expo images on my tumblr today. I wish I could have posted them sooner, but I've been really busy with work.
http://scoutthetepig.tumblr.com/
I'll be updating with more images soon.

One of the best pictures we managed to get of my boyfriend as Medic at a local con here in OK.

still working on my femheavy cosplay

Here's another picture I took at our most recent con- my bro Dante as RED Sniper. Most of the time he had Sniper's default hat, but for this picture he decided to go full silly Sniper, yellow belt and all.

My femgie cosplay from Pax East this past April. Didn't want to have to wear a helmet all day, and I also left out the goggles.

Here I am as fail!fem!RED Spy. I intended to wear this under the coat I made (i was going for the look that ChemicalAlicia did for her femspy model).

However it was 90 degrees outside and it was made of 100% wool suiting. so uh, nope :s

Lots of snipers this year at CTCon... I also ran into an awesome soldier which I might post.

Had fun at Fan Expo 2012 as a Sniper on Saturday. I wanted to use the train as a prop, heh.

Tried my hand at FemSpy, wish that intel had come out better, also balaclava tan lines are not easy to explain come work on Monday.

FemmePyro here!

Here's a pic of us cosplaying at a school event with Leslie Redd from Valve

>>2684
Wish I'd known more tf2 cosplayers this year, I was a BLU Engie on Thursday. I'm prolly gonna do it again next near, but I'll get some friends... tf2 cosplay meetup, anyone?

Beginnings of my BLU Medic costume. I have next to no sewing skill whatsoever, so I commissioned a friend to make the coat. I love it so.

The first cosplay I'd done in a long time was putting together an engineer cosplay, the first con I went to with it (recently in fact) was a my little pony convention so I just made a few modifications to make it a pony crossover, but it'll be normal engineer in most other cases now. There are some things I'm working to fine tune, some little details were just to get it done in time for that con. Also just a side note—the rope replacement of the power cord is for the pony crossover.

Anyone going to NYCC this year? I won't be cosplaying TF2, as I have zero monies (and am completely clueless on how to sew), but I'd love to meet you guys there!

>>2721
I was at NYC Comic-con. This is not my photo nor did I take it, but I saw this family walking around. They were great.

I was at NYCC as well, this is me. I couldn't believe the amount of photo ops I was getting. I was also on Kotaku along with other cosplayers, it was awesome.

>>2725
Were you at the 3PM, TF2 meetup on Saturday? The gathering was located at 1E. I was the short, Asian femme-Medic with the Medipack and Ubersaw. I think I kept attacking you with my Ubersaw.

Yeah I remember you, great cosplay! I was doing backstab poses when all the medics were having their pictures taken.

>>2724
>>2725
>>2726
Ahh, I didn't see you guys, sorry! I was only there on Sunday. I was a very short Eleventh Doctor with a Medic backpack. I admit I'm scared to go to cosplay meetups, I've never had a fancy outfit and everything I have is from my closet (I can't sew). Although I finally got one picture taken of my costume for the first time in my life, I was really excited.

My RP partner and I were at Y-Con 2012 in October & crossplayed as Engineer and Scout. I know there were a couple people who took our photos, I was hoping if they frequent the chan if they could post them. Thanks!

Apologies for the shit pic quality. My phone's camera blows. The fiance and I went as BLU Heavy and Medic for Halloween. Not happy with my y-strap, as I got a modern one for use with other things, and I'll probably get a proper leather one if I ever take this to a con. The gloves arrived darker than advertized on the site, but alas. There's a bunch wrong with these, but it's my first try at anything like this so I'm happy with the attempt.

My soldier cosplay at Pacific Media Expo
