Overwatch Cosplay Goes Deeper
Cosplaying as D.Va’s actual Overwatch character design is so 2015. Two examples! The pic up top is based on fan art by chexgirlfriend, while the cosplay homage is by Kitty Lappin Love how she even copied the off-centre text. But wait, there’s more. Here’s Vani Chu vs the D.Va doritos art:

Geralt Isn’t The Only Witcher In Town
Sure, Geralt’s the star of the series, but it’s always nice to see a male cosplayer tackling someone who’s in the same trade, but not quite as smooth with the ladies. So hats off to Krishna Dammert for giving Eskil some love. Photos by Andreas Krupa

Original Cosplay Is The Best Cosplay
Amazing. I’ve never seen anything like it. Who cares if it’s not a fictional character: cosplay is 100% about fandom, and who isn’t a fan of soy sauce? Monsters, that’s who. Photo by Mark Clifton, taken at Animazement 19. Cosplayer is Katie Cunningham. Update:

Jamie Lee Curtis Cosplayed At The Warcraft Premiere
She’s not even in the movie, but that didn’t stop noted Warcraft nerd and cosplay afficiando Jamie Lee Curtis from snagging an invite to the Hollywood premiere of the (terrible) film adaptation.

Where Are My Cosplay Testicles, Summer?
Cosplayers Drcane (who built Snowball) and his friend Jerry (Rick) have outdone themselves here with this Rick & Morty shoot. Snuffles/Snowball isn’t an outfit (there’s nobody in there), it’s more of a prop, but still. It looks awesome. The matching graffiti is also a nice touch.

My copy of CSPLY EU arrived last week. It’s a hardcover book specifically about European cosplayers that was successfully Kickstarted a little while ago (though you can also buy it from a store). Its not bad! The focus is more on images than words, so there’s not much to necessarily learn about the European scene,…

Diablo III Cosplay Is Some Max Gear Attire
Fabricator Djinn has been working on this Diablo III outfit for years now, and the result looks like it was definitely worth the wait/effort. It’s fitting that Imperius is the greatest warrior in the heavens, because this is some of the greatest Diablo cosplay we’ve ever seen. You can see the outfit come together in…

Cheers To This Witcher 3 Cosplay
TophWei is a cosplayer from Russia. She is not, as you may have guessed, a living Witcher 3 screenshot. Photos here, as in thatlast (NSFW) Witcher shoot we featured, by Victoria Milligan. I love that it’s not just Ciri in character, but her alt outfit.

Cosplayer Could Lose An Eye After Contact Lens Mishap
A lot of cosplayers use coloured contact lenses to help them match the appearance of their favourite characters, but that use has a downside: when something goes wrong, it’s going wrong somewhere that’s both sensitive and pretty darn important for the cosplayer. AsHouston Press reports, cosplayer Johnny Hybrid is now painfully aware of this. While…

Russian cosplayerJannet “Incosplay” Vinogradova’s Widowmaker here is just out of sight. And here’s a shot alongside Ardsami cosplay’s Tracer (which itself is awesome, that wig!), giving…

Tales (Well, Cosplay) From The Borderlands
This Borderlands cosplay from Thousand-Faces is just ungh. I love how they’ve extended the cel-shading effect, letting it run off their make-up and all the way onto the outfits themselves. Photos by Insomniac Studios
