The description box should have a better format for text, I might have to re-do what I wrote because the box mashes it all into a huge paragraph which is not what I was going for...

Coming up with a cosplay that I liked was pretty hard for me.:O Since this is my first Epicon, I decided to enter for fun. Hopefully and ok-ish number of people are aware of the show my HA was based from.

CastlesInTheSky

so, 23h later & nothing new to do. Joy!!!

Very pleased to know that CW is separate. So people with the CW items that were MADE as cosplay won't be competing with those who have to work with regular Subeta wearables. :) Hopefully the setup for judging will be better than last Epicon though! (And more variety in the winners. XD)

*enjoys being sinbad*

CaveAdsum

Do we need to wear our cosplay after we signed in? Will our entry change if we change our HA after we entered?

RustonRampallion

I'm pretty psyched for this. Spent hours making my ha presentable...

Cosplaying as my latest OC, I got her set up and then I saw the cosplay contest, so why not? (if OCs are allowed!)

I have a question... Are we allowed to cosplay as characters from webcomics?

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried it and it didn't work. I guess I just don't get to do this event o well! Good luck everyone! :D

I was entered into the CW Pool since I was wearing one CW rofl.
I'm gonna get schooled by CW-clad HAs though.

For those having wardrobe issues, if you sign in with enhanced cookie security, try logging out and logging back in with that feature disabled.

Got my Attack on Titan cosplay in the non-CW bracket. I think I did decent on what I had in my wardrobe on the top of the head idea.

Hm, what could I possibly do that I could use this experiment skin with...
0

Jazmine

Tribunal, I think it's very fair that they have a separate contest for people using CWs. Otherwise, some badass CW-toting HA owned by someone very wealthy would sweep the entire contest, I think.

Radi0rulz

I just signed up. :D

Babycake

I tried logging in and out and it didn't work for me, thank you for the suggestion though.

Can't think of ANYthing, darn.

Twisted_Pretzel

Can we do something about backspacing on the contest page? I lost a large chunk of Description & Inspiration because my 'reference image' was not in the proper format, which the page itself fails to say what it should be before hand, jpg is my default. Thank You.

Kale

All done with mine, no one will recognize it though :P

So glad we can use CWs........ I just wish my wardrobe worked:(

I love the cosplay contests! Seeing what other people come up with is fun c:

Sirensong

Well, gee, wouldn't it be nice if my wardrobe actually worked so I could make an HA. But I suppose it wouldn't be a Subeta event without broken stuff. /sigh

Tennie

entered as a Nathan Drake cosplay. We'll see where this goes. It's my first time entering.

Ooh, this is going to be a decent-length contest if we have a week just to submit cosplays for the contest. :)

If people are getting errors for PNGs, changing mine to a gif and taking out the underscores worked for me.
0

Nudibranch

*rubs forehead* Image's small to start with, converted to both gif and png and tried submitting both...

Still WON'T SHOW UP.
0

Tonks

if only I could change my HA...
Still can't wait to see what else will come.

CassieFenix

I love that there's a non-CW and CW cosplay! That lets us who don't wanna use CW's not have to compete with those that do!

I keep getting "Error processing your registration, please tell someone!"

Does this mean I should submit a ticket or..?????

It's finally working, I'm in!

Ananta

What happens when you click Unregister? Can we submit again?
Subeta uploaded my HA wrong, one item was missing but i refreshed a few times to check if it is there while submitting.
0

Andreea

Error processing your registration, please tell someone!
I wonder what could be causing this. :/
Maybe it's the reference image?
0

Nudibranch

Submitted, but it keeps refusing to let me submit the reference image. It's the right image format (gif) and it doesn't pop up any errors or anything, but it simply won't show up!

Kushiel

@Darling
I can? That's cool, then I guess I'll give it a try, just for the fun of it. Awesome, even though I don't think I stand any chance :D
0

Muerte

@Kushiel
You can, and should, cosplay anything you desire. Book, comic, movie, show, internet meme, and even an original character ! In real life I have seen amazing versions of ALL of these running around. On a site like this/a contest, it's simply more common (and easier for a reference image), for somebody to cosplay a movie, show, or comic book character. But that really is not the limit.
0

Darling

@shadowstalker You shouldn't need to download your avatar; the file upload is for a reference image for the character you're cosplaying as, if that's what you're referring to!
@Reaper (and everyone else asking) You're only able to enter once, sorry!
@Evy The deadline is the 26th!
@Kushiel You can absolutely cosplay as a book character if you'd like to!
0

Tanis

@Dunedainsith I'm submited

And you can only submit one avatar

@shadowstalker The upload is for a reference image!

RustonRampallion

Wooo!!!! Can't wait to figure out what I'm gonna do. Just gotta cover up this darn morostide and zombie stuff first... :/

shadowstalker

Do i download my avatar? would it not already be there if i just fill in the description then post? HUH?
0

Nostalgia_507

Am I the only one who got successfully entered?
0

Reaper

Several people have already asked, but since it hasn't been answered yet, I'll ask again - can we enter more than one HA (like, one no-CWs entry and one entry with CWs since they're separated into two categories)?
0

Tribble

Are they goin g to get the wardrobe issues fixed so all of us can participate??
0

Nightwing

Thank you for doing separate categories! :heart:

lacylite

FLUX

The contest page needs a lot more information added to it...like can we enter more than one avatar? Can we enter both categories?
0

ren

I'm really glad my avatar won't be put up against those with CW's, so thanks for that.

Mausi

Entered!!!! Can we enter more than one?
0

Mahariel

Oh, awesome that there's two categories!
0

Sayonara_Baby

The EPICon Building is exactly as it has been sine the end of the last Restock War. Might it not be a good idea to change the page!!!!! Also unless the usual glitches on the site every time there is a new event are taken care of nothing is going to be very entertaining.
0

nicolas

Errors, errors, and more errors. Hopefully this'll get fixed soon :(
0

Nostalgia_507

how does one get to the building? when i go to EpiCON i just see the RS war from last time.

Thanks for having separate categories! I know that definitely pleases a lot of people. I'm a bit sad I can't enter both, though. :P

Error processing your registration, please tell someone!

Two categories ?
Ah well, all of my possible HA's lack CW's and I am fine with that (even though my SPN Baby background would have been amazing to use...)

Registered! Hopefully people recognize me... I dunno if there will be more Epicons, but if it is, my thing will be cult classics or old series that more people need to read. :)

Seriously? You guys started it without fixing the wardrobe first? Not cool.
0

Psychedelia

this si good, but what deadline do we have to enter ? And what about the wardrobe ? Will it be fixed by then ? Everyone ought to have a fair chance at entering.

Also I am SO PLEASED SO SO PLEASED that there is a CW/NON CW split. This is EXCELLENT.

Nostalgia_507

If you wardrobe does not work, clear your browsing history and cache. It worked for me and many others.

Note: Please note that there are two categories: CW and non-CW. If your avatar is wearing any Custom Wearable, you will be automatically sorted to the CW pool.
that is so awesome of you, staff! :heart:

Seems like CW's are allowed since there is no notice

springjoy

I couldn't get my wardrobe to work. I did a cache/cookies clear just for kicks and giggles (done one not long ago and it didn't seem to help) and...well, now I'm in! You all may want to try it for the sake of it. :)
