How A Cool StarCraft Cosplay Photo Was Made

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.

Mechanised League Of Legends Cosplay

For his very first cosplay outfit, Elmins wanted to make a Aether Wing Kayle (from League of Legends) outfit.
