Henchmen Studios, some of the best cosplay builders on the planet, worked with Blizzard earlier this year for PAX West to construct two incredible World of Warcraft outfits. Alleria Windrunner and High Exarch Turalyon were worn by Bubbles Cosplay and Snowdinson Cosplay respectively. The build took ten people almost a month to complete, and involved…
The Tokyo Comic Con just wrapped up, so let’s check out some of the best—and most entertaining—cosplay of the show. Held at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba, the Tokyo Comic Con kicked off last Friday and ran through Sunday. Since this is Comic Con, cosplayers mostly portrayed Western comic book, video game and movie characters,…
One Bad Day, probably the best Joker cosplayer on the planet, would like you all to have a wonderful Christmas this year. And to make sure of it, here he is wearing a bad sweater and drinking eggnog. There’s something about the colour scheme and antique glassware that is legitimately terrifying me. You can see…
You see a lot of Daenerys cosplay around, but most of it tends to focus on her earlier appearances in Game of Thrones. So it’s nice to see someone focus on something a bit more recent. This S7 outfit is by GreatQueenLina, a cosplayer from Russia. Photos by Sergey Ivanov
Here’s a Kotaku.com cosplay rule: if there’s good Persona 5 cosplay, it goes on the website. And this, here, is some very good Persona 5 cosplay. Ann is being cosplayed by Shirogane-sama, while photos are by pollypwnz
This is Waypoint’s excellent documentary on Angela “Overkill” Hill, the MMA fighter who is also an avid cosplayer
With their green skin and antennae, Nameks are not easy characters to bring to life. Cosplayer Takatsuki, however, makes doing so look effortless. Her Dende cosplay is on point. Wonderful! Takatsuki also posted a few making-of photos on Twitter, including a green make up test. If you like Dragon Ball, you can follow Takatsuki on…
This is Molza, from Cyprus, with some excellent Ramona Flowers cosplay.
The Australian convention season has been farewelled with one last hurrah — Supanova Expo in Adelaide. Yes, the year is essentially over for cosplayers, who will now finally clean up all the worbla scraps and abandoned wigs lying around their houses. Before we’re done, however, we’ve got a gallery of some pretty top notch cosplay…
These aren’t 1986 press shots promoting the release of Labyrinth. These are pictures taken in 2017 of cosplayer and assumed shapeshifterAlyson Tabbitha I’m starting to think she’s wasted on cosplay. Surely there’s some Jason Bourne type shit out there that needs someone with these disguise skills to stop a nuclear bomb going off, or save…
Most D.Va cosplay you seeis someone wearing her jumpsuit. Which is fine, but Gryphon’s Gears was having none of that, deciding to not just build her mech, but have it be able to walk around as well. I’m going to assume he pulled up short of also adding in the ability to self-destruct if it…
If there’s one place you could get a black car, hit the highway and have it look just like Final Fantasy XV, it’s Arizona. That’s where this crew (the same from a camping trip we featured a while back) headed, renting a Camaro and driving around the state for the weekend, visiting lava tubes in…
Here’s JS Cosplay with an absolutely incredible take on D.Va’s Deathwing the Destroyer skin. It’s not just the costume here that nails it, it’s the photography (by CineCosu), lighting (by @justinelement), make-up work (@anhakinskywalker) and assitance (epictoastphotos) that’s on-point as well.
Like they did with underwear, and then formal evening wear, Overwatch cosplayers have once again taken their favourite characters and put a little spin on their outfits. This time, the theme is punk. These costumes were all on show at this year’s BlizzCon, with most of the shots below taken by Mineralblu
Hime Shinra, a cosplayer from Indonesia, has done something real different for this Sombra shoot: to nail the character’s purple neon effects, she used both UV lights and special powders so that she’d actually glow in the dark. The images were taken at BlueMoon Studios, who also helped put everything together. Here are some of…
Last year’s BlizzCon was one of the higlights of the cosplay calendar. BlizzCon 2017 was no different. While official cosplay was there and stealing the show, there were plenty of fans around as well, including some of the world’s best cosplayers, there to pay their respects to series like Overwatch, WarCraft and StarCraft Below you’ll…
There have been a lot of Overwatch skins released over the last couple of years, but few have endured in people’s hearts quite like Witch Mercy, which explains why one Halloween on from its release people are still cosplaying it This is DMZ Cosplay, with photos by Sohno
Why only cosplay as Star Wars characters when you can also cosplay with or as Star Wars vehicles? That’s exactly what these folks do. AT-AT Death Star* *Whether or not the Death Star is a vehicle is up for debate! AT-ST Imperial Star Destroyer Millennium Falcon Sandcrawler Snowspeeder TIE Fighter X-Wing D’aw.
The King of Random made this remote-controlled red shell for a YouTube video, and I am now wondering why this isn’t something I can put in a gift guide somewhere. Here’s the original video by devinsupertramp, in case you haven’t seen it: And here’s the vid showing how the red shell was made:
This is Sosenka. Previously, Kotaku introduced her amazing Majin Buu. But that’s not the only incredible Dragon Ball cosplay she’s done. There are more. What makes Sosenka’s work so great is its range. She does all sorts of Dragon Ball characters, typically showing off her impressive special effects and make-up skills. But why stop at…
