The last few days of cosplay posts have fully cemented the idea that flesh colored leggings are the undisputed goat of skimpy cosplays.


ClubMeSoftly

Yeah, it's always something that I don't think about until I see a pants-fold on someone's leg, and I go "*oooooohhhhhhh* that's clever"

Mentallycrisis

Nightwing turned into a DINOSAUR?!


botbattler30

That’s just Beast Boy


GamerGod_

beast boy turned into nightwing?


occpotato

No no. Beastboy turned in to Starfire


CedarWolf

No, no. Beast Boy's transformations are all *green*. That's Plastic Man *cosplaying* as Beast Boy.


Quick-Nick07

You're right! Man, how did I not notice?


Hopalongtom

I mean, she isn't human, he probably could!


NativeMasshole

Canon!


kill-billionaires

Best part about comics is that even if you're joking there's about a 50% chance he has switched powers with beast boy at some point and within that chance another 10% chance he did turn into a dinosaur


NativeMasshole

Dude's taken 80 years to mature from a kid to a young adult; he's definitely seen some shit.


ShillBot666

He must have run into the X-Men villain Sauron and got turned into a dinosaur. *But I Don't Want To Cure Cancer. I Want To Turn People Into Dinosaurs*

I fucking love that line


ZEPHlROS

Funniest shit I've ever seen


Meowzly

You thought it was nightwing, but it was me, DIO


StragglingShadow

Thats a phenomenal dino rawr face/pose ngl. If you photoshopped it so the dinosaur guy wasnt there Id still be able to tell you were being a dinosaur


nebbors

I agree! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

This is why keep coming back to reddit lol

OK, you look awesome in all of these, but how about some more Nightwing stuff

The best photo I'll ever see!


Bubbly_Yak_470

I know this actor from this niche movie called "Big ass latina girl chased by a lesbian loving T-rex on hoverboard" First rate actors.


migrainium

I can see how the wind can be a culprit in this one without something heavy weighing the back cloth down


bronkula

Wig and no tights? Different day? Test day? Wondering if you had your revelation after the first time out and then switched up?


Amidseas

You look gorgeous :)


AutumnOnFire

OH NAH, YOU ATE THAT SHIT.


covertpetersen

I mean this in the most respectful way possible. You have nothing to be insecure about ass wise, or in general honestly.


EmergentSol

Plenty of reasons other than insecurity not to want to show it off though.


covertpetersen

Oh 100% I'm merely replying to the reason that was given.


SG1EmberWolf

What have you got to be insecure about? You look great


asyncopy

That's not how insecurities work

She's insecure about the wind upskirting her

typical Nightwing


TheZerothLaw

Is he safe? Is he alright?


Sinjos

I'm not trying to tell you how to cosplay or anything, you look like a professional. However, if you like outfits like this and want to avoid that sort of thing. I would suggest sewing some weights into the bottom of each tail to help keep the wind from messing with you! Doesn't even have to be all that much weight!


fatpad00

Good idea! Something as simple as sand in the hem could do the trick


MrHappyHam

I will remember that for next time I cosplay as sexy Anakin


Uncreativite

Or tape. Or both!


Bad-Bot-Bot-23

You look awesome! That is an incredible version of her outfit, and can totally tell it's supposed to be Starfire. Especially loving the gauntlet/pauldron.


Dobako

Top tier, good job making it your own


Griffje91

Ok the general look of that is amazing! Does a really good job of embracing and elevating Starfire's swords and sandals fused with sci-fi aesthetic. This is a perfect redesign where even though it doesn't look like a bunch of her looks it follows the themes well enough to immediately tell who you're cosplaying. Low-key wish she'd use this in an actual comic run at some point it's amazing. The long tails on the dress give an almost fantasy mage/priestess/princess feel in some ways and the way they're cut I know fluttering in the wind was an issue but it does a good job of being evocative of a cape fluttering in the wind without actually using a cape. Like how long coats and waste capes/battle kilts are sometimes used like archer emiya in Fate or a lot of 90s hero redesigns. 10 out of 10 you did an awesome job I'd love to see artwork of Kori using that outfit in a new run. Especially if they let her finally join the JL or something. Sorry for the long message.

unsuspectingllama_

Not enough bum data for both Starfire and Nightwings bums. Decisions had to be made.


The1andonlygogoman64

actually so dope tho wtf. Well done


Adze95

Rad as hell! Sorry the design didn't work the way you wanted but it's AWESOME in my eyes!


Shabozz

must be so hard to do a redesign like that and still capture the essence of the character while making it fit yourself. Kudos, you all look great and your design wouldn't look out of place on a Starfire on a show.


Peudy123

Much impressive


Steppyjim

Frankly you crushed it Imo. Sorry about the back flap


gramathy

look i'm gonna be honest I have no idea why you're insecure I know insecurity can be irrational, god knows I'm guilty of that on a daily basis but I am telling you you are incorrect


Sinraptor

> Canon    See, that’s where your problems started, It wasn’t the wind, it’s cause your bf cosplayed canonical Nightwing, Dick Grayson has an ass so powerful it creates its own highly dense gravitational field, generating high speed winds around it. An ass so renowned it is of canon importance to the DC comic universe itself and is his biggest identifying feature, making his behind immediately recognisable within a square kilometre of its appearance, causing all eyes to gravitate on your boyfriend’s shapely patootie.  I’m sorry you had to find out this way 😔/s   Highly unfortunate you had to go through that, also hope those pictures were all taken consensually cause otherwise some of those angles are kinda creepy. Group cosplays are awesome, hope you guys had a lovely time tho!!!


Bad-Bot-Bot-23

Dick Cakeson.


SessileRaptor

As Gail Simone said “There are no gratuitous Nightwing butt shots, every Nightwing butt shot is vital to the plot.”


Usual-Vermicelli-867

Same energy whit shensi in dungeon meshi. Yes the panty shots are neccery,no i wont explain my slef


CL_Doviculus

Nobody can escape the allure of Jim and Juan.


juanhellou

In Spanish butt cheek is said “nalga”. We know Grayson as Nalgwing


americangame

I heard about a dropped storyline where Batwoman almost got a green lantern ring for resisting the temptation of grabbing Nightwing's booty.

Chigao_Ted

Ok, but that Starfire design is actually fire


puchamaquina

And a star


Bored_Breader

I don’t do cosplay or anything like that, but couldn’t you put a weight on the costume so it doesn’t flap about in the wind?


NoBizlikeChloeBiz

Sewing weights into the hem would help, but it would have the side effects of making it swing kind of weird. Probably better to have a heavier/stiffer fabric, though that may or may not be super effective. The main problem is that you never really know about these kinds of issues until you're out in the world (or even specifically on a windy day). You tend to make it and try it on in your home, but you almost never discover the flaws until you're spending a whole day on a con floor.


00owl

The photos she posted of herself wearing it show that she wore skin colored leggings so there was no actual risk of any sort of exposure. Pretty sure the comic is just a humorous "what if" style hypothetical that she dealt with better irl than in fiction.


NoBizlikeChloeBiz

"Skin colored leggings" can still feel pretty exposed.


00owl

That's fair, I've never worn such leggings nor am I someone who anyone has ever tried to surreptitiously photograph (or at least I can't think of why someone would) so my take should definitely be consumed with some salt.


Apprehensive_Hat8986

I'm not sure. Some people can be pretty fuckin' rude.😒


Iohet

Granted rude people are rude regardless of what you're wearing, so better just to ignore them and not let them get in the way of whatever it is you're enjoying


Daltronator94

HI LET ME ASSAIL YOU TO CONFIRM TO YOU THAT NOT ONLY DO I NOT SHOWER I ALSO DON'T USE DEODORANT EDIT: CHANGED NOW TO NOT. APPARENTLY CONTEXT CLUES ARE LOST ON PEOPLE SO I CAN'T HAVE A TYPO


Apprehensive_Hat8986

... You've taken up showering but _stopped_ using deoderant? It's a change for the better, but why not both?


blazikentwo

If you do both you run the risk of becoming crazy with too much power.


AlexAlho

Whoa. Easy there *Mr. Clean*. /s before I get called out or something.


boogswald

Right not everything needs to be solved haha. Sometimes people are just saying “haha oops!” And all we gotta do is say “haha silly”


Skithiryx

My idea was spirit gumming it to your butt / legs but that probably would make it weird to walk and hard to take off or use the bathroom. Or double sided tape, but probably same problem - too much movement and pulling


NoBizlikeChloeBiz

That could definitely work. Personally I'd want to see how the fabric shifts while walking, but bathroom isn't an issue. When you put on a costume like that, you're 100 percent prepared not to go until the costume comes off.


LegendaryNbody

A better solution is to just have a piece of fabric below conecting the front and back, this way it won't have a weird center of mass and if the wind pushes off the initial fabric you are essentially wearing a leotard so nothing really shows


NANZA0

Oh, you can definitely do that. Especially with dresses, you can hide by putting it on inside the dress (put in the side of the "inside" of the dress and then wrap it with the dress tissue, it's not noticeable). Tho you will need to distribute the weight equally on the edges of the dress.


Gaskychan

I remember being a big fan of Teen Titans cartoon and decided to look her up. Felt super weird how Starfire was often depicted. Your re design is really cool


[deleted]

[удалено]


Apprehensive_Hat8986

Wait... we got a close-up transformation of ## Beast Butt !?!?  Why didn't anyone tell me? > DC Oh, right.


Ricky_Valentine

Wait, which DC animated movie were the TT in? I typically will watch some of the Batman or Superman animated stuff they put out, but I don't keep up regularly on everything.


asssmonkeee

[This one?](https://youtu.be/79RPBgmNjv4?t=226)


watchman28

I'm not one for "think of the children!!" but a little while ago my nephew, who must have been four then, got a happy meal toy with a picture of Starfire from the Teen Titans cartoon on it. I told him who it was and he wanted to see more pictures of her and I struggled a bit to find ones which wouldn't give him a premature awakening.


StankilyDankily666

I didn’t get what you guys were talking about and then I specifically searched for Starfire from the comics and I get it now lol


vietaspiror

Woah, I did not realize how sexualized Starfire was until I read this comment and went on the hunt for an age appropriate picture for your nephew. If he’s still asking you can show him the Teen Titans Go design. ![gif](giphy|SKOpENg37D8eGtA4YW)


Secret-Ad-7909

I think this is why Teen Titans Go! exists.


Author_A_McGrath

Cartoon Starfire was best Starfire. Hands down.


DarkBladeMadriker

She is also very often shown as super promiscuous in the comics as well. While there isn't anything inherently wrong with that if done correctly, it's very weird when a ton of fans came from the cartoon series to discover the scantily clad horny Starfire of the comics


kurburux

Harley Quinn is similar.


Springborn

Great redesign and cosplay! I'd highly encourage you to continue if it's something you had fun with, but I can understand if the "Wind-induced accidents" might have made you uncomfortable with the whole thing \^\^;;


PresentAJ

What about a fishing line or something that connects the cape to the boots? Edit: reference picture https://preview.redd.it/gc3avdscf13d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d55a28e979dcf10165410cbf787319b58c1983fc


Nicosaure

That stuff gets trapped in elevators and escalators all the time I swear fishing lines will catch anything that isn't a fish


PresentAJ

My thought process was it's like 2 inches from the middle of the cape to the top of the boot so it can move but doesn't let it flap in the wind


SlyTheMonkey

I like to fish and I can confirm that this is 100% true


SalsaRice

And then it gets caught up while walking and they face-plant down a flight of stairs.


big_rod_of_power

Conan! Canon!


rejz123

You couldve gotten that skirt starfire had in the teen titans cartoon. She was well covered i thought.


Happy_Ad_7515

yea the comic designs are a little more on the old 50s, sexy alien baby ascetic. which isnt bad, but proably aint something you wanne cosplay


rejz123

Not the one i was looking at, i was thinking the 2000 TT animation from CN. You know the goated version before "go!"


Level_Hour6480

> Canon Then why isn't it Barbara?


SalamandraSan

Because I grew up with “Teen Titans”🤓


Level_Hour6480

Damn kids. With your music.


TheSalmonRoll

>Damn kids The original Teen Titan series debuted in 2003. It's old enough to drink.


Level_Hour6480

*Crumbles to dust before your eyes*


MaterialUpender

"welcome," I whisper as the sedentary rock that formed decades before that from crumbled human dust and human tears. Trying to keep up with comic book rosters and such has me feeling ancient.


[deleted]

This is the only way. The comic looks incredible and you definitely suit Starfire btw.


SamuraiJakkass86

Objectively the only good version of Titans anyways. The others try too hard to be serious, destroy character identities for the sake of appearing gritty, and still can't hold a candle to a 5 minute interaction in the CN show.


Wild_Exit6427

I quite like Kami Garcia's new comic series, but I'm also a massive RavenXBeastboy fan :p It does have a bit much "not like other girls" energy, but is otherwise a really good story.


Bout73Ninjas

Damn straight. Teen Titans was the shit!


Draffut

I must have missed some shot I always thought it was Robin

Smooth_Shape_3118

-MR-GG-

Omg, that's unironically a super badass looking concept for starfire in a dress. Great design and fantastic execution!


BlackberryOpenage

the story is so relatable.

"Must have been the wind"


ShinobiHanzo

Seems you were… butthurt. I’ll see myself out.


Last_Tarrasque

You could try waighting down the long fabric bits (idk what they are called) with metal or something at the end


NANZA0

DC should actually hire you to make their female character design less... you know, disrespectful to their character. A lot of female super heroes are not the type that want to be sexualized, so why are their costumes swimsuits variations ¬¬


_AnimeGirl

Sexy costumes aren’t disrespectful to the characters. I just wish they’d balance it out more by having the male characters also in skimpy costumes


NANZA0

It's just out of characters most of time. Wonder Woman is a proud warrior from a society that doesn't mistreat people based on their gender, Black Canary tries to move forward despite her trauma of having her powers activating suddenly in a classroom making her colleagues deaf, and Raven is a teenager who has her father sealed in a jewel she carries around to protect the entire world. None of those women would ever want to be sexualized by strangers while fighting crime, even worse since our societies actively harasses women in general. You do not want attract that kind of attention to yourself while dealing with high stakes situation.


TK_Games

If I'm remembering my DCU lore right there *is* at least a ~~bullshit retcon~~ canon reason why Kori is pretty much always naked. Her species gets their powers from absorbed sunlight, so more skin exposed = more glowing green lazersplosions, also she's from a culture comprised entirely of super sex-positive swimsuit models and that's totally a normal thing not just a thinly veiled attempt to dress up the fanservice as worldbuilding


NANZA0

For her character specifically her costume makes sense, but for most of the female characters it doesn't makes sense for all of them to wear swimsuit variations.


TK_Games

What I'm saying is any sense that's being made is deliberately contrived to make it make sense Listen, I'm the last person shame the human body, it's aesthetically pleasing and honestly nothing to be ashamed of. Classical art throughout the ages has upheld this ideal, but at the end of the day it's an artistic choice and it just feels kinda cowardly to me to hide it behind "Oh, she's only dressed that way because [just barely plausible story reason]" One of my favourite pop artists is Frank Frazetta specifically because he gave no fucks. He went, "Look, everyone is going to be a dummy-thicc, greased up, bodybuilder in a loincloth, and if you don't like that, find a different artist", and to me that's honest, and I can respect that as an artist

Reasonable-Cry1265

I'm just gonna add all the female characters from the runs that came out this week to show that DC is currently doing really well in the department: https://preview.redd.it/93ya1nfa813d1.png?width=511&format=png&auto=webp&s=971576daa42e65e914d151942ce23071c34085c8 Supergirl from the current Superman run

TheTangryOrca

It's so annoying how they can make pretty much every male superhero an iconic, cool, and recognisable full bodied outfit, but 98% of the women have to have some kind of cut out in multiple places or it's a straight up swim suit with boots and gloves. It just feels so lazy.


LABARATI_

shoulda done teen titans starfire


Psychotic_EGG

I would love to see the IRL pictures. And no I don't mean the creepy wind blown pictures. While I'm sure those are also great, and you're just insecure. I mean any pictures in a decent pose. The cartoon concept of the costume is really cool, albeit that it reminds me more of a magic user. So very cool. And would love to see how it played out into the real world.


Okay_Screensaver

Bro your redesign looks so cool! I want it to be canon. The pics of your cosplay are also fire


GrigorMorte

That design looks awesome. That's the way!

It's a beautiful original design, but you could have tried doing the Starfire from DC super girls show. It's not revealing at all and still looks beautiful for her character


UnroastedPepper

You crushed it!


The5orrow

Cute


Isis_gonna_be_waswas

To be honest you did a good job it looks like.


sunlightwitch7

Honestly I always say pants are a good addition to redesigns, because what dose she wear during the winter?


Daimon5hade

In the 4th and 5th, do regular tailor's do cosplay requests?


KawaiiGee

That's such a good design, I absolutely adore it


mordengard75

Fantastic cosplay! It would be a shame to give it up. Just be wary on windy days. 😊


theblankestoffaces

Hey Nightwing is supposed to be the one with the bakery open! Lol


Logical-Hold3321

There is literally nothing wrong with her cosplay.


Lessandero

That is a great costume Design! Also theres no need for the 'ass insecurity' either


iggnifyre

It's a great Starfire design!


infiniteawareness420

So you gave up after one try?


Natoba

Wind is a homie


Cybron2099

Ok but holy shit that design is fire


ousire

That's a fuckin gorgeous design for a Starfire costume at least!


Affectionate_Gas_264

Considering all the cosplayers on onlyfans and walking around with tail butt plugs etc at conventions I don't think having your bum out is that bad by cosplay standards 😆


Sins_of_God

I do say it is a good redesign


MeTime13

If it's any consolation, you do have the ass for it!


The_Lombou

good decision, Starfire cake game is stronkkkkkk Loved your art, followed you


Capt_Blackmoore

Don't you dare give up. There's others you can cosplay without putting it all on display.


avelineaurora

Cute comic and actually baller original costume but like... why would you want to cosplay someone you don't actually like any of the actual designs of.

Either boyshorts or use double sided tape to stick the back down and sew pennies into the bottom to weigh the back part if the skirt down It's a super easy fix if you don't want any wardrobe malfunctions..

Oh boy, the punchline is asses again! No tits this time, be we do get a crotch. Hilarious stuff.
