Sri Lanka had only its second ever Comic Con on the weekend, and it looked like a blast. While the cosplay community there may not be as well-established as it is elsewhere, there was still some quality cosplay on show! Even Harambe turned up (if you’ve seen a pic of this outfit floating around on…
Can’t believe it’s taken this long to see some Barb cosplay. Maybe everyone had to wait until the next time they were at their Nan’s place to steal her glasses. Cosplay by SailorsMouth
This is Russia’s SoranoSuzu with some awesome Borderlands 2 cosplay.
This is Russian cosplayer niamash(whose Witcher work we’ve featured before) as Dark Souls 3’s Fire Keeper. You don’t see much Dark Souls cosplay, I’m guessing because the character design is so crazy that replicating many of the costumes would be so hard/expensive that it puts most cosplayers off. Not in this case. Photos by Eva
Russian cosplayer Milligan Vick—who we’ve featured before—is the perfect Evie Fry in this shoot, nailing everything about the last Assassin’s Creed game, from the costume to the location. You can see more of her work here

Jason & Cheryl Isenberg went through one hell of an ordeal when they first took up cosplay. Now that things are on the mend, they’ve decided to expand their crew: meet Fable, their three year-old Boxer who, having been “helping” with their cosplay for years, is now allowed in on the fun. This Dragon Age…
2016’s take on Tomb Raider has a lot going for it, but there are still folks out there—cosplayers included—who remember the original Lara Croft. Russian cosplayer Anastasya Zelenova is one of them, and while she’s actually cosplayed as the modern Lara (and the Underworld version), it’s her 90s takes that are the best. You can…
Czech cosplayer Alzbeta Trojanova might have Ciri’s hair, but she’s got Geralt’s steel. We’ve actually featured her Witcher cosplay before, but these new shots were so good I figured they were worth a second look. She had some help this time, with Baty Alquawen playing the part of the Bruxa. Photos by Lifestalking
I covered this earlier in the year when it was just a make-up test, but ver1sa’s Ripley (from Aliens) cosplay is now done and it’s just the best. She even got a Jones! All photos by kmitenkova You can see more of ver1sa’s work at her DeviantArt page
Last weekend, I hopped a train to Baltimore to report at Otakon, an anime convention with upwards of 20,000 attendees, many of whom were decked out in mind-meltingly good cosplay. One thing I noticed was that, on the whole, Otakon’s women were absolutely killing it cosplaying Overwatch heroes. One of Overwatch’s main draws is its…
Venusaur gets a lot of flak for being a gross, warty toad who’s kind of trash after the third Pokémon gym. He’s also my favorite Pokémon (fight me). At Otakon last Saturday, Chelsea (@lordcreepypeepee) cosplayed the cutest damn Venusaur I’ve ever seen. Now, look me in the eye and tell me Venusaur isn’t the very…
Decked out in armour and weapons made by Wulfgar Weapons & Props, this group of fans hit Gencon last week with some of the best 40K cosplay I have ever seen. The armour. The weapons. The fur. It’s all perfect The crew won “best in show” at Gencon’s cosplay competition. There were seven of them,…
Every August, the twice-yearly Comic Market gets underway in Tokyo. Besides fan-created comics, it draws numerous cosplayers who brave the heat to show off their outfits. Tokyo gets incredibly hot in August, so big respect to the cosplayers in the heavier outfits. Comic Market cosplay is always a good gauge to see what’s popular in…
I’m biased here, since she’s my main, but Mercy has the best in a game full of great character designs. So of course, when someone pulls off quality Mercy cosplay, it’s a sight to behold. And this is a sight to behold. Check out the detail on Shappi’s costume here! The panels on the armour,…
We’ve already seen some Horizon Zero Dawn cosplay, but here’s some more, shot in one of the only places that can match the game’s demo for its “giant trees and snowy mountains” look: Norway. Aloy (the character) is by Ibelinn Cosplay, while the photos are by Katrix Media Site Ibelinn says it took over three…
Jannet “Incosplay” Vinogradova and Ardsami know what the kids like in their Overwatch fiction. It’s butts. They like butts. We’ve seen Vinogradova’s Widowmaker before; it’s one of the very best pieces of Overwatch cosplay on the planet. Here’s a new shot of it:
While he’s one of the more impressive creature costumes in The Force Awakens, Grummgar spends his entire on-screen time sitting on the couch. Unlike this cosplay, which can get up and move around and do space mercenary stuff wherever the hell it wants. Of course, this kind of quality is no surprise: it’s by Julian…
Such never dying. Wow. UPDATE:
When I opened an email about a “Transformers cosplay fan film”, I feared the worst. A CG-filled compilation of cringe, with bad Stan Bush covers. Nope. Turned out it was the opposite. GENERATION 1 is the perfect celebration of a corny cartoon, it’s giant heads and emphatic gestures nailing the goofy tone of the original…
