3D company Sketchfab were at the New York Comic Con. Instead of taking photos, they were taking full-body scans of cosplayers, which is very cool if any of them ever want to be video game characters or action figures. Here are some more examples (press the play icon to load, then drag your mouse around…
Last week we held the first ever Kotaku + io9 Cosplay Ball in New York. It was great. Loads of cool people, loads of amazing outfits. Here are some photos to make you wish you were there (unless you were there, in which case, thanks for coming!). If you recognise anyone (or were anyone) in…
Whether it was at our party or at the show itself, this year’s Comic-Con had some absolutely fantastic cosplay on show. Here are some of the highlights. I’ve got as many credits as I can for these, but if you see someone (or are someone!) who’s missing let me know and I can add it…
Hey look, it’s the guy from Hotline Miami! Great outfit, huh? But what probably actually drew your eye in the above shot is another awesome, massive Reinhardt outfit, which stole the show at our recent io9/Kotaku Cosplay Ball. Not that there wasn’t other terrific Overwatch cosplay, because of course there was. We had a Zarya…

There’s a lot of Disney cosplay going around, as you’d expect, but Hercules doesn’t get much love. Oh, except from CosplaySymphonyhere, with this amazing Megara. Photo by EosAndy

Some very cool crossplay here by Rinrin from China. Note that the tattoo isn’t real, it’s just drawn/painted on to match the design of Hanzo’s from the game. You can see more of Rinrin’s cosplay at her Weibo page. Photos by Flow Vision
Since Smash Bros.’ roster is drawn from other games, you might have thought it was impossible to cosplay as something genuinely, 100% Smash Bros. But that would be overlooking the humble Party Ball toddallthetime made this for GaymerX, and it is just too perfect.

Kona Cosplay was doing her thing at DragonCon the other week, filming this nice video with AKIOBOY, when she was suddenly interrupted. By her boyfriend. Cosplaying as himself, he dropped to one knee and proposed right there, to a woman dressed as Nidalee from League of Legends Kona said yes. Congratulations guys! If you want…

There was a cosplay competition at TwitchCon last week, and it was won by this enormous Reinhardt getup that just gets better the closer you look. I mean, yes, it’s huge! Impressive scale. But there’s so much more to it. It moves, for one, as you can see when Chad from Hoku Props goes to…
This is Russian cosplayer Xenia Shelkovskaya, doing one hell of an impersonation of English actress Natalie Dormer/Westeros Deal Wheeler Margaery Tyrell. Just goes to show that while a costume certainly helps, any cosplayer looking to get really authentic can get as much from a wry smile and a turn of the head as a 1:1…
Here is a video of Business Fish, still the #1 sticker pack on Facebook, heading down to DragonCon and doing his thing. Which, being a social networking sticker, is mostly just REACTING to everything happening around him. We actually featured a photoshoot of Rundaria’s costume last year, but the vid below is way better.
One of the off-court activities you can take part in while playing NBA 2K17 is…attending a comic con. Complete with cosplayers. Unexpected, but awesome.
This proud team of budget cosplayers aren’t going to let time and money get in the way of awesome Overwatch cosplay. With the help of ThatGuyYouKnowwwand The Will Box, these guys—wearing recycled cardboard boxes, pieces of paper, tanktops and pieces of old Destiny cosplay—bring Overwatch’s Play of the Game animations to life in a way…
This is Miyuki as Sivir from League of Legends Miyuki tells me the costume and props, which are made out of Worbla and foamulator, took 250 hours to put together over the space of two months. You can see more of Miyuki’s cosplay at her Facebook page
