Yeah there isn't a whole ton of problem sleuth cosplay, but here's some from a cursory googling. Pickle Inspector and PS if I recall correctly.  One of the midnight crew and one of the frumpy dames  One of the inspectors?  Hysterical Dame being all hysterical

I've delved into pretty much every dark corner of the internet and I barely learned what Homestuck was last week. Why the hell is a webcomic so popular?

It's a comic about teenagers having adventures, chatting online and doing epic poo poo with aliens in a simple, brightly-colored style. And tumblr exists. There's your answer.

It's really well done and while the art is simple the story is pretty well written and fantastical. Also it has a large cast of interesting and mostly unique characters both human, alien, ghost, and monster. I used to read it until it got really boring for me.

Also it had a mild interactive element as you could suggest what the characters would do next.

The webcomic is TOO slow paced...for my personal tastes. I lost interest really quickly after reading page after page waiting for the "awesome" stuff everyone talks about. I too don't understand why the tremendous popularity.

muscles like this? posted:Also it had a mild interactive element as you could suggest what the characters would do next. That element was gone long before the crazy teenagers found the comic. The key thing to understand about Homestuck's fandom is that it's nearly a completely separate beast to Homestuck itself. They share the same characters, but most of the crazy Homestuck fandom latched onto the vibrant, silly characters that were takes on people we're familiar with from the internet. The thing is: That's where most of the links between the crazy Homestuck fans and Homestuck itself end. The worst parts of Homestuck's fandom don't care about what's gone on in the story since the trolls were introduced. They don't care that most of them are dead, almost all the rest are crazy, and all of them are in some way terrible people, because they barely actually read the comic. Hell, lots of them don't read the comic anymore, and a fair chunk of them never have. I don't know anything else in the world where the fandom is as completely separate from the base content itself than Homestuck. There's missing the comic's themes and subtext, and there's completely ignoring the actual text.

I first discovered how weird the Homestuck fandom was when I was listening to a song on tindeck and noticed that all the links at the bottom were to weird recordings of people reading or acting out their weird fanfiction. Before that, I thought they were just people that really liked a comic about candycorn demons or something.

Homestuck is a thing which manages to worm its way into every thread and cause horrible, horrible derails.  Sup?  Dude, I'm like, in space, man. http://i.imgur.com/UXHJfyh.jpg (spoilers for the end of Yume Nikki)

That's just the way it usually looks.

The art being simple is a selling point for Homestuck readers, as their fan art doesn't look wildly different to the originals.

This is not the loving homestuck thread shut up. All y'all circle jerking about how awful homestuck people are can also shut up.

Cleretic posted:I don't know anything else in the world where the fandom is as completely separate from the base content itself than Homestuck. How much do you know about the TF2 fandom? My understanding is that an enormous proportion of it is very similar to what you describe, particularly the more artistic side of things. Lots of fanart and stories about Scout-sama kissing Spy-kun, with no real interest in the original game or even the original characterizations involved. More power to 'em, obviously, but it does seem a bit odd from the outside.  (found by googling 'tf2 cosplay') Apologies if this was covered earlier. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

That man looks so close to Wesley Crusher that I want to punch him through my monitor. Which means that it was a pretty successful costume, I guess...

It looks like a lot of highlighting and shading, to give him an airbrushed/CGI look. I've seen makeup like that in person, it's pretty impressive. It might still be photoshop, but I've seen people do makeup that looked that good.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but sadly Comics Alliance has been closed down. And with that also comes the end of their weekly Best Cosplay Ever feature: quite possibly the best source of sweet cosplay pics
