CultureCosplayHi, Gross Witcher 3 Villain, That Is Some Excellent Cosplay
Klaudia Utnicka is, as far as we know, a regular human being living in modern times. Or, at least she is at the beginning of this nine-minute video. By the end, she’s Brewess, one of the super gross Crones from The Witcher 3. Absolutely incredible work.

“Life-Size” WarCraft Cosplay Could Crush Actual Humans
Steven K Smith is one of the best props builders around. This enormous, full-scale WarCraft suit is just one of the reasons why. You don’t see this very often! Normally when someone cosplays as a WarCraft Orc, they paint their skin green, maybe wear a mask and be done with it. Smith, though, wanted to…

Enormous Muscles Sure Help with Cosplay
If you have big muscles and like video games and anime, perhaps you can cosplay. Drefan does, and he’s terrific at it. After injuries sidelined Drefan in his early twenties from competitive sports, he continued to follow his love of video games (and anime), eventually taking up cosplay. He’s quick to point out that he’s…

CultureCosplaySome Very Fancy Legend Of Zelda Cosplay
This is…well, let’s say it’s a bit more dedicated than your average Zelda cosplay. This Link shoot went all out, from the horse to the props to the location. Even the song was made just for this occasion, a remix of the Zelda theme by Aurelia XO and Rekcahdam Cosplay by Tanya Istel and Cosnavi

Dog Cosplay, Immortalized
I like dog cosplay. You like dog cosplay. Reader Eric Ho, an artist out of NYC, also likes cosplaying dogs, so much so that he’s made a ton of little 3D models of them. You’ll see some familiar faces/outfits here amongst his range of models, like Thorgiand Corgi Link, though it looks like there’s some…

Cerys! You’re Real!
As I’ve made clear, I am very fond of Cerys, the takes-no-shit Queen (in my game) of Skellige. Thus, I am also quite fond of any cosplay paying tribute to this badass. This is Niamash, not only with a perfect costume but an actual horse just to top things off. Photos by Catherine Badulina

Dishonored’s Seedier Side Brought To Life Through Cosplay
We’ve seen some top-shelf Dishonored cosplay on this site before, but it—and most other cosplay like it—tends to focus on the game’s main characters. People with expensive uniforms and high collars. Nobody ever spares a thought for the game’s less upstanding denizens. Ophidia and her friend Rin have, though, putting together this fantastic shoot with…

Venture Bros. Cosplay Is Too Real
Sometimes, you see a group cosplay effort that looks like it took a lot of design and planning, and looks pretty good for a bunch of humans in costume. Other times, like here, you see a group cosplay effort that looks like three characters walked straight off a TV set and into the real world.…

Not Your Average Pokémon Cosplay
At first glance, this group of cosplayers look like a band of Norse Warrior Goddesses. They’re not. They’re the nine different versions of…Eevee. For reference: So basically, Eeveelution cosplay.
