2014 was a big year in cosplay. 2015? Even bigger From cons to private photoshoots to kids screwing around with junk and a sewing machine, cosplay has continued to explode in popularity across the globe. And the more people who take up the artform, the more amazing outfits we get. The images below, though, are…
Let’s imagine, for a moment, that Nintendo went a little crazy and made a sci-fi Zelda game. The end result could look a lot worse than this cosplay outfit by Ten D. Motomochi Snapped by Chocozumoat the Phoenix Comic Con, it’s actually a converted, Zelda-themed Spartan, with some nice touches like the Triforce of courage…
This is Lady Angelus as Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’s Evie Frye, perhaps the best-dressed video game character of 2015. Making this one of the best pieces of cosplay for 2015, as the work that went into the fine details of Evie’s suit (in this case the Bloofer Lady Outfit from the Victorian Legends DLC) is just…
Frank Ippolito and his team were asked by Sony to build a contest winner a full set of Titan armour from Destiny. After five weeks of work, they delivered, and then some. Here’s a kinda-gross ad/video that you can skip through to get to the parts where they’re showing the build progress and the suit…
Sword performer Alan Padziński doesn’t just fight with Witcher swords. He knows how to make them, too. Padzińskirecently built himself a replica of Ciri’s badass sword from The Witcher 3, and did the entire thing by hand, from forging the blade to carving the runes to the leather grip. It’s 1.3m long, and looks more…
TheldeaFix—who does an excellent Loki, btw—has transformed himself so thoroughly into Thranduil from The Hobbit that actor Lee Pace would probably look at these photos and get all confused. Photos by Pugoffka-sama and Haji-san
Always a pleasure to see someone cosplaying as a KoF character that isn’t Mai Shiranui. Cosplay by Azulette, photo by Peter Muñoz.

The Northeast Comic Con went down in Wilmington, Massachussets over the weekend, and reader Eric Joslin was there to take some pics.

Remember the BBC’s incredible documentary series Planet Earth? And how one of the stars was the footage of the Superb Bird of Paradise, and his Big Happy Face dance? That, of all things, is what Jaime Margary decided to dress as this Halloween Much like the bird itself, it’s equal parts hilarious and slightly creepy.…
Sammy from Fossa Beauty does make-up. She also, from time-to-time, transforms herself from a human woman into a male video game monster.
We’ve seen some amazing photos come out of this year’s BlizzCon, but here’s a nice video put together by Beat Down Boogie.
Russian cosplayer Anna Ormeli, made internet famous for her BioShock Infinite work a few years back, is not really a fan of Jack, one of Mass Effect’s more memorable characters. Not that you’d tell. After a conversation with a friend, whose favourite character is the punk-turned-teacher, Anna decided to try cosplaying as her anyway, going…
This year’s Dreamhack Winter show in Sweden—the biggest LAN party in the world—featured not one, but two cosplay competitions. One was specifically for League of Legends cosplayers, while the other was for…everyone else. Though it looks like the League outfits were also allowed into the general competition. The competitors were listed uncredited on DreamHack’s site,…
Hey, that mask looks a little weird, I wonder what’s unde-OH MY GOD Mileena cosplay by LyonegraCostuming. Extra cool is the fact the outfit was made for a con, which she walked around in all day covered with fake blood and holding that severed head.
Is Knights of the Old Republic even canon anymore? Ah, who cares, this terrific cosplay is now Star Wars cosplay canon. Saphirais Satele Shan, Blood Spider is Darth Revan. Photos by So Say We All And just so you know, no, they’re not real lightsabers.
Some cosplay photographers like to go nuts in photoshop, moving beyond simple image correction and into the realms of stuff like fake fireballs and lens flare. Me, I like things the old-fashioned way. That’s what’s so cool about this behind-the-scenes video detailing a recent shoot that cosplayer Lyz Brickley had with photographer Beethy(with help from…
The Merrill cosplay is A+, but things always get ridiculous when large, live animals are involved. Cosplay by LuckyStrike, photo by AnnetVoronaya
This joke video from Freakin Rad is corny as hell. But it’s also showing off some truly exceptional Halo and Destiny cosplay, both up-close and in a full range of motion. Starring in the vid are Spartan and Titan suits by Its tims time, Iron-Dan’s Master Chief and Melody Tripp’s Warlock.
For his very first cosplay outfit, Elmins wanted to make a Aether Wing Kayle (from League of Legends) outfit. If this is what he can pull off for his very first cosplay outfit, by his third he’ll probably be flying into space, or travelling through time. Here’s what the costume—which took “many hundreds of hours…
