Oni-Con isn’t the biggest cosplay show on the calendar, but it’s one of the nicest, with the event taking place right across from the beach in Galveston, Texas. Below you’ll find a collection of images taken from the show, as well as a video, both courtesy of Mineralblu
On the left, Sum.makeup. On the right, Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft Sum.makeup Just another reminder that when it comes to cosplay make-up can sometimes do just as much work as a costume and wig. Sum, a professional make-up artist, has a lot more of this stuff on her Facebook page
Any Overwatch players who are fans of a Mercy x Genji romance, here’s some BlizzCon cosplay to warm the heart. Genji is Danquish, while Mercy is @Skippie22. Photos by DTJAAAM
Like they did with Doomfist, Blizzard used the announcement of a new Overwatch hero today to indulge in a little company-sponsored cosplay. And like they did with Doomfist, they commissioned the excellent Henchmen Studios to do the building. Libby Ives is doing the actual cosplay, while Mineralbluwas there to take some shots (and video) for…
Reader Matt didn’t dress up as a Nintendo character for Halloween. He dressed up as a Nintendo console, complete with bloody Halloween twist. Having Arms lit up on the front of the screen was a nice touch, considering the horrific surprise awaiting anyone who tried to disconnect the Joy-Con. You can see some shots of…
Jiovanie Velazquez’s 10 year-old son wanted a Bastion costume for Halloween, and since you can’t exactly walk into a store and buy one, he decided to make one for him. The suit was made of EVA Foam, had LED lighting in the helmet and also voice-activated lighting in the chest. Velazquez even went to the…
Here’s cosplay superstar Leon Chiro as Bayek from Assassin’s Creed Origins, on a shoot that took him to an actual desert in Kuwait. The costume was a collaboration between Chiro himself and Cosplay Annart. There are some more shots—some of them actually taken outside on the sand—below:
Owls are cool. All cosplay needs more owls. But especially Tyrande cosplay, since the character actually has one in the game. This is Narga, a cosplayer from Russia who is straight up one of the absolute best on the planet at this. You might remember her from that Dawn of War shoot we featured last…
Here’s some A+ Akira cosplay by ChibiThot Be sure to watch the vid first, so you can see how the gun actually lights up.
Here’s Kevin Von Close and Jon Snow Cosplay at Twitchcon over the weekend, looking like they’d just finished up some bullshit adventure to try and catch a zombie. If you were wondering whether that was just a fortuitous shot or that a guy who goes by the name Jon Snow cosplay can actually nail that…
There was a lot of quality cosplay at this year’s New York Comic Con, but perhaps the most impressive of all was this enormous Bumblebee outfit that despite its size was still able to walk its way across the showroom floor. It was made byThomas DePetrillo from Extreme Costumes. Here’s how it looks from the…
An all-star lineup of cosplayers, photographers and videographers have teamed up to imagine what it would look like if the stars of Sailor Moon had a more adult photoshoot. It was a reunion of sorts for CineCosu Studios’ Dominique Zamora, who assembled much of the same team we featured earlier in the year for a…
The New York Comic Con has gotten so big over the years that it’s now one of the biggest nerd shows on the planet. And where there’s big nerd shows, there’s A+ cosplay. If you weren’t at this year’s event (or at our party), where attendance was pushing 200,000 people, below you’ll find a gallery…
This Nova outfit (technically Heroes of the Storm cosplay, since this is a skin from that game for the StarCraft character), by Kamui, doesn’t just look good as is. It also lights up like a Blizzard-themed Christmas tree, with some of the most impressive cosplay engineering work I’ve ever seen. Here’s a shot of the…

Alyson Tabbitha, a regular around here for her astounding make-up and costume work, returns with this temporary diversion where she ceases to be a human cosplayer and becomes an Amazonian ass-kicker. Note that as amazing as this outfit is, it’s not yet done: the shot began as a simple test, because she still hadn’t done…
Luke Plunkett is on holiday, which means I must carry the torch of posting cool Witcher 3 cosplay in his absence. It is a terrible burden. This Witcher 3 cosplay comes from Russian photographer Nikolay Zarhov and features Lina Krakovski as Ciri and Roma Svirin as Geralt. I love the setting, even if seeing Geralt…
If you still can’t decide whether McCree’s Summer Games beach skin is hot or not, cosplayer Leon Chiro is here to help. Chiro, who does everything from stunt work to acrobatics, was recently in the Caribbean dressed in the Overwatch cowboy’s weirdest outfit. If you’re wondering why the trees are all blowing backwards while the…
There are some incredibly talented cosplayers out there, but often the ones who achieve widespread recognition are recognised instead for an uncanny facial resemblance to the characters they’re cosplaying. While, ostensibly, the point of cosplay is to resemble the character as much as possible, cosplay is so much more than that in practice. That’s why…
