  1. MSPA Cosplay Masterpost v2.9
  2. A pastebin full of tutorials and advice, used as a reference guide for many things regarding Homestuck. Still very much in progress, could use more things for specific characters, as well as more tutorials and links overall, but it will all be updated as the threads continue. With Homestuck's immense cast of characters, there are many sections, though the majority of this will be dedicated to the kids and trolls. If more suggestions for other characters come in, their sections will be added. Please feel free to suggest more things and also give more personal experiences.

  5. GENERAL:
  6. -----
  7. For things applicable to any Homestuck cosplay, as well as generally good sites to get stuff from or look at.
  8. The blog homestuckcosplayhelp.tumblr.com is no longer active and there are links that may be outdated, but it still has a lot of helpful info, so look there too if you have to.
  9. This link will also lead to a lot of good character and cosplay references, so look here first if you need help, and refer to this pastebin if you still need more help:

  13. > Glasses:
  14. - Akujin Corp:
  15. etsy.com/shop/Akujinscos
  16. They have glasses for Dirk, the Libra Trolls, Vriska, Sollux, and much more, also has glasses for various anime characters. Prices will go for at least $30.00, apparently their glasses aren't quite so stable
  17.  
  18. - Lightning and Lace:
  19. lightningandlace.storenvy.com
  20. They have glasses for Dirk, John/Jake, and Jade. Dirk glasses are at least $25.00, the others are around $12.00. May have to paint the screws on the Dirk glasses black, as otherwise they stick out.
  21.  
  22. > Shirts and Merch
  23. There are two official sites that sell tons of official Homestuck merch and clothes. A good amount of them will work just fine for cosplays. Some God Tier shirts aren't too good though, such as Breath and probably Hope. Also take note of the class, something like a Knight, Heir, or Prince could get away with using the shirts, but a Seer, Sylph, Witch, probably not.
  24. whatpumpkin.com
  25. topatoco.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=TO&Category_Code=MSPA
  26. So if you need a shirt, you can either look at the shirt tutorials below, or you can just buy one off of either site. Whatpumpkin has a greater selection, though some things are available on Topatoco as well. Whatpumpkin also sells plushies, such as the Scalemates and Consorts.
  27.  
  28. > Wig Suggestions:
  29. Epic Cosplay and Arda have great, high quality wigs that will work nicely for any character, and are good sites to get wigs off of in general. They are a bit pricy, however. Arda is the better shop for short wigs and wigs that can hold styling better, although Epic Cosplay is better for longer wigs as they're easier to detangle unlike Arda.
  30. epiccosplay.com
  31. arda-wigs.com
  32.  
  33. For cheaper alternatives, consider this: Several characters have short black hair, such as John, Jake, Sollux, Karkat, and so on. This one wig has often been suggested, and there are many listings for it. Just look up "Durarara Izaya Wig", and it should look like this:

  35.  
  36. > General Fabric Guide: This guide will cover different types of fabric to use for Homestuck cosplays, while going into specifics at the bottom about Seers, Knights, Princes, Sylphs, and the Dreamer outfits.
  37. i.imgur.com/Rd0Z510.jpg
  38.  
  39. > Weapons: This image shows all of the different weapons used by many different characters, seen throughout the comic. This includes Dave's swords, John's hammers, Karkat's sickles, and more.

  45. > T-Shirt Tutorials: While many of the shirts are available for purchase on official sites, you can opt for a less expensive method if you have a blank shirt laying around. Since the kids have regular shirts with a symbol added on, you can follow either of these tutorials:
  46. - Print method: This method involves transfer paper.
  47. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUgcn-sg3Nc
  48. - Paint method: This method involves fabric paint.

  181. > Methods of Grey: There are several different ways to grey yourself up to become a troll.
  182. > Armsocks:
  183. + Easy to put on and off, no smudging, can look nice when made well, make once and reuse for many characters, warm for colder events
  184. -- Can get wrinkled or puckered in photos, initial timesink to make and fit, can get dirty and stained, will not work with some characters due to neckline

  188.  
  189. > PAX:
  190. + Waterproof, Smudgeproof, will not come off so easily, mixable to a perfect match with other makeup, lasts several days
  191. - Expensive, hard to apply to yourself, hard to remove quickly or completely, can apparently cause cancer if you use a cheap enough acryllic to mix it with?

  195.  
  196. > Ben Nye:
  197. + Requires no additional makeup purchase, quick and easy to apply and remove, relatively inexpensive
  198. - Hard to get completely seal, can still rub off even after sealed, has to be mixed for standard Troll grey, not cost effective for large amounts of bare skin

Since the trolls have regular shirts with a symbol added on, you can follow either of these tutorials:
