Normally, cosplay involves dressing up as fictional characters, not real people. But this year’s Presidential primaries have been so absurd that I think this now counts. Amazing how a wardrobe change suddenly makes Trump look like a dude you’d wanna party with. As for the other two, your feelings are yours and yours alone. The…
As spotted at PAX East in Boston. These guys said they just did the E.T. outfit at New York Comic-Con but decided to double the awfulness for this show.
It can happen. Just ask Florida-based fitness lover Natascha Encinosa. Back in February, Encinosa uploaded a photo to her Instagram, wishing everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day.

I’ve seen some good Samus cosplay in my time, but rarely have I ever seen someone actually nail the scale and dimensions of her power suit like Elearia has here. Those shoulders! The ribbing underneath! The light-up visor! Bravo.

This is cool: Senpai Studio took a camera to Shutocon and, instead of taking tons of slow-mo footage and setting it to corny dance music, did some proper interviews! This one’s with Starry Ary
Cosplayer Angela Bermúdez and photographer Essam Elbably wanted to take some desert-themed cosplay shots from both Star Wars: The Force Awakens and PS3 game Journey. So…they headed out into the Egyptian desert, complete with massive sand dunes, and did just that. You can see more of Essam’s photography at his Facebook page, and more of…

Meet Korean coplay star Tasha, who as you’re about to see is straight up killing it as Overwatch’s Tracer We’ve featured her work many times on Kotaku previously, and with good reason: she’s one of the world’s best, and this Tracer is no exception. In keeping with the fact that this entire character’s personality and…
Last month, the Emerald City Comic Con took place in Seattle, and as you’d expect, there was some very good cosplay on show. Photographer The Will Box was there taking snaps of some of the best of it, and you can see his shots below. Note that while I’ve got cosplayer information for some of…

He’s also a member of the Stony Cosplay group, who specialise in Halo cosplay gear, and whose stuff is so good they’ve worked directly with Microsoft on ads and videos. This is his ODST cosplay gear. Love the cigarette packet, nice…
For most people involved, cosplay is a hobby, but for some it can be more
