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…
Omi Gibson isn’t just one of the world’s top Metal Gear cosplayers. Her Ghost in the Shell game is strong, too
Zarya is one of the coolest characters in Overwatch. She is also, like all characters, subject to crossplay. This is Jechts’ attempt at the character, which he pretty much nails, from the hair down to the tattoo on the shoulder. Photos by Alive Alf
According to Warcraft canon, Deathwing the Destroyer is a giant dude dragon who is thousands of years old and and can scorch planets. Warcraft cosplay can be a bit more flexible in its interpretation of the character. This is Jessica Nigri’s take (based on a sketch by Zach Fischer) on the star of World of…
He doesn’t wanna be famous? Then I’ll make him infamous! Photographer Peyton Crim wanted to do a Spider-Man shoot that was a bit more “dynamic” than your average cosplay gallery, and teaming up with Chris Villain (as Spider-Man), they sure succeeded.
BlizzCon had some incredible cosplay on display this year, but one of the most impressive outfits was Bindi Smalls’ Nova, which was almost entirely 3D-printed. If you’ve ever wondered what kind of work goes into designing and building a suit like this, well, Bindi has you covered. In this worklog, Bindi outlines how she lifted…
The shishkebab, long one of Fallout’s coolest weapons, returns in Fallout 4. It also makes its debut in the real world, thanks to Caleb Kraft’s workmanship and thirst for workshop danger. As detailed in his worklog on Make, Kraft teamed up with his buddy Platinumfungi to faithfully recreate the sword, using cannibalised parts and some…
Some are funny. Some are too real.
Tis’ the season for Fallout, and Baty Alquawen knows how to do it right with this killer Vault dweller/Wendy the Welder cosplay. Photos by Lifestalking
I mean, not everyone has the chance to just head over to the famous ruins of Palenque and dress up as Lara Croft, but if you do, you may as well make the most of it. Lara is LadyLemon, photos by Fernando Brischetto
Handsome Jack, are you real? *reaches out, touches screen* I’m still not entirely sure. Jack is by Mary & Feinobi cosplay, photo by So Say We All, who posted this “before and after” shot to show that the cel shading effect comes from A++ make-up work, not Photoshop trickery.
OHH! GOOD! For anyone tuning in who doesn’t use Facebook, Business Fish is literally the only good thing about Facebook. Cosplay by Rundaria, photos by Shazzsteel Photography
BlizzCon, Blizzard’s annual fan celebration, went down over the weekend, and where there are Blizzard fans, there are cosplayers. John Jiao was there taking photos of some of the best on show, and these shots—and cosplayers, dressing as characters from StarCraft, WarCraft, Diablo and even Overwatch—do not disappoint. Below are just a few highlights of…
