There haven’t been any cosplay conventions in over a year, which sucks! But when life gives you lemons, you can make lemonade by having a convention from the comfort of your own home. In your PJs, no less. That was the reasoning behind Pajama Con, aka PJCON2021, an April Fools stunt—complete with website—that pretended to…
This is Yekaterina Lisina, a bronze medal-winning Olympian with the Russian basketball team, and now model, with what is surely the most 1:1 cosplay possible of Resident Evil’s Lady Dimitrescu. I mean…just look at this: And this: It took a whole team to get this shoot looking this good, with the dress made by osqurobviously,…
The last time we saw Enyendabbling in Yakuza cosplay, it was as a solitary star of the gangster saga. This time, he’s back, and just like Ichiban in Like a Dragon, he’s brought some friends. This is most of the main crew (sorry Eri!) of Sega’s latest crime/wholesome adventure, with Enyen as Kasuga, Mr. G…
There was no in-person Comic-Con in 2020, and there won’t be one in 2021 either after the show’s organisers announced a decision to “postpone” it until 2022. That’s…an odd use of the word, since the Comic-Con in 2022 would simply be the 2022 Comic-Con, but maybe there’s legal wrangling involved in the exact language employed…
While the majority of the year was a complete write-off, for obvious reasons, we did actually squeeze a few big cosplay shows into the early, pre-pandemic months of 2020. So rather than look back on nine months of almost nothing happening on this website, let’s look at the three months something did. Our photographer Mineralbluput…
Meet the Violin Samurai. The YouTuber dresses up as iconic characters in ramshackle costumes and then plays video game music. If only he could see half the time! In the clip below, for example, he spends the first section trying to get his costume (and the music) right. The actual performance is about three minutes…
It’s fitting that in a year where traditional shoots and shows are going to be off the table, one of our first features is a very lonely, very wonderful collection of Death Stranding cosplay. The cosplay here is by Mike Knight, while the photos are by heimeiart
And sweet dreams. (Please keep watching the video after the original horror, as it shows how the costume was put together and filmed, which is interesting, but also unsettling in its own ways)
Jarod Nandin, a World of Warcraft player and cosplayer best known for his depiction of South Park’s Jenkins, has died after complications from Covid. Nandintook the internet by storm back in 2013 with his perfect recreation of the character, and even made an appearance on stage at that year’s BlizzCon. Jarod announced back in December…
We were all expecting most 2020 conventions to have been cancelled, but the complete inability of most of the planet—and the United States in particular—to get its shit together means that we’re already starting to see big 2021 shows thrown in the bin as well. Katsucon is the first, announcing earlier today that “It is…
Look, I deeply admire the craft and ingenuity that goes into serious, elaborate cosplay, but I have a very special place in my heart for stuff like this. This isLadee Danger—who you might recognise as Ciri in the banner post for this sub—absolutely nailing Halloween as both The Nanny and Peggy from Married with Children…
Here’s cosplayer Knightmagewith a very good Ghostbusters outfit he made for Halloween. The ghost is Andi Serpenti, while the photographer is Blazek
By day, Brenden McCormack is a developer at Wargaming, working on World of Tanks. In his spare time, though, he’s built (along with his wife Laura) one of the most impressive pieces of Nintendo cosplay I have ever seen. In addition to the power-up gif up top, here are a bunch of other photos of the…
There hasn’t been much cosplay to feature here in 2020 for obvious reasons, but have you ever wondered that when people do get together for a shoot, how it all works in an age of lockdowns and social distancing? This Watch Dogs Legion shoot by So Say We All got me thinking that exact question,…
We’ve seen this before with Overwatch, but never with Final Fantasy! This is Briana White, host of Strange Rebel Gaming and also the voice of Aerith in the Final Fantasy VII remake, cosplaying as…Aerith from Final Fantasy VII Briana isn’t normally a cosplayer, so here, the dress and ribbon were made by Final Fantasy cosplay…
My favourite type of cosplay video isn’t the one where fans are recreating scenes from the show/movie/game they’re cosplaying as. It’s cosplayers doing dumb shit like skating as Geralt, or recreating the famous “Technoviking” video, only starring the cast of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Here’s Maul(also star of that Geralt vid) and friends turning medieval England…
Photographer Nikolay Zharov put this incredible shoot together featuring the work of three cosplayers: Tina Morbid (Good Hunter), Shion (Father Gascoigne) and Zep Hindle (Old Hunter Henryk). The costumes are amazing! Ditto the props! But I also deeply love the action figure-style pedestal shots, it’s a great way to give us a look at a…
It’s early October, which means it should be time for the New York Comic Con! Sadly, it is early October in The Year Of Bad Times, so there isn’t one in 2020. To help fill the void, both in terms of content for this cosplay website but also in our hearts, here’s a look back…
If you’ve got some time coming up, and materials/money to spare, one of the countless ways you could spend all that would be to build your own life-size replica Animal Crossing tools. Because those butterflies aren’t going to catch themselves. The wonderful Bill and Britt from Punished Props have put this video together showing how…
In December 2020, the organisers of the LA Comic Con want to open the doors of the Los Angeles Convention Center and allow thousands of people in for a nerd show. That’s in less than three months! What the hell! Despite every other major (and minor show) across the planet deciding to simply take the…
