Dragon Con—one of the biggest nerd shows on the planet—went down earlier this month, and three of the best cosplay photographers around were there to take some incredible shots. Those photographers were Anna Fischer, Kayhettinand Dave Yang. You can see the best of their pics below. Oh, and if you recognise (or are) any of…

Hi, I’m Yennefer Of Vengerberg; My Life Is Really Weird

So I’m halfway across the planet in a crowded hall, astride a unicorn with a young woman touching my face and repeating, “You look just like her!” Admittedly, I didn’t see this coming. I’m a cosplayer, and I work for CD Projekt RED as the official Yennefer of Vengerberg for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.…

Perfect Mad Max Cosplay Is More Accurate Than The Actual Movie

Michelle Sleeper makes props and armour for cosplay projects. When she was introduced to Laura, a left arm transradial amputee, they got together to do something awesome. (top pic by Norman Chan) Having originally planned to build Laura a T-800 arm, so she could cosplay as “Arnie at Miles Dyson’s house”, when Mad Max was…

Marvel vs DC Cosplay Extravaganza

Photographer Jason Laboy and a whole bunch of cosplayers took to the streets of New York recently for a shoot that featured everyone from Batman to Daredevil to Spider-Man. You can see more of Jason’s photos at his website The cosplayers involved were *deep breath*: Nightwing Daredevil Spider-Man Batman Armor Batman Spider-Gwen Deadstroke Batwoman Scarecrow

Khajiit Has Cosplay If You Have Coin…

So fluffy, so excellent. This is Chelsea Mills, aka Talaaya Cosplay, beneath the M’aiq The Liar suit. We’ve featured her amazing work before, but that was armour; with winter getting closer this looks much more practical. Like the Metroid costume, there was some 3D printing involved here, with M’aiq’s face made of plastic before being…

Cheer Up, Jon Snow

I mean, not everybody you’ve ever known or cared for is dead. Photos by Kawaielli, cosplayer is selgis. Also, by the same photographer check out this amazing Kerrigan (cosplayer: Verka Polyakova) below:

Love At First Frostbite

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen cosplayers make this joke, but it’s definitely the best. Sub Zero is Danquish, Elsa is Deanna Sarkar, photo by Martin Wong (via Dorkly)

Zero Suit Samus Cosplay Is Excellent

Cosplayer Vlada Lutsak, aka tniwe, is Metroid’s Zero Suit Samus in these shots by Aku

It’s been twelve months since the last one, so yes, it’s that time again: time for the MEN OF COSPLAY calendar (Aquaman by Beninator)

Peach vs Zelda Fight Is Not For Children’s Eyes

This is not how Nintendo handles fight scenes. I mean, for one, Nintendo would have written a better set-up than “golfing mishap”. But they also would have eased up on the “brutal action movie kicks to the face”. Zelda is Olivia Wells, Peach is Raven Duda

Leela Cosplay From The World Of Tomorrow

Cosplaying as Leela from Futurama isn’t as easy as it, ahem, looks. Getting the single eye to sit/look right on a normal human’s face is a tough ask! Holly Brooke has a novel solution here, though, with help Keroga Forge, who made the gun. Photo by Lucky Monkey

League Of Legends Cosplayers Were Killing It This Weekend

Whenever you get thousands of fans together to watch a video game live, you can bet there are going to be cosplayers out in force, and this weekend’s LCS Summer Playoff Finals were no exception. There were a ton of fans in costume at both events, in New York and Stockholm, and below are some…

The Manliest Chun-Li Of All

Ladybeard—who is onto a very good thing in Japan as a cosplayer, pin-up model, wrestler, and metal singer—was at Comiket this year, absolutely killing it as…Chun-Li. Brian posted a single shot of himin his roundup, but I thought he deserved his own showcase, since he not only posted a bunch of studio photographs in the…

Final Fantasy VII Cosplay, Take A Bow (Or A Gun)

It’s been a solid August for FFVII cosplay, as not long after that incredible Cloud+Aeris shootwe’ve now got one hell of a Vincent Valentine. The cosplayer is Yuri Narss, aka Narcisspuppet, someone we’ve featured before for his terrific Final Fantasy work. As with his last feature, you might look at these pics and scream PHOTOSHOP,…

Japan’s Best Cosplay of Summer 2015

It’s August. And that means one thing for geeks: Comic Market. And you know what that means? Cosplay. Lots of it. At this year’s Comiket, which wrapped up yesterday, the cosplayers were out in full force. There was a nice range of outfits on display this year in Tokyo. Let’s have a look at some,…

Thor’s Hammer, Remade For A Four Year-Old

Crux1836 asked his kid what he wanted for his fourth birthday. When he said “a Thor hammer…a REAL Thor hammer!”, dad had to get to work. What began as a rusted old piece of hollow square-stock: Went through this: To become this: So great. You can see more pics here

Korra Cosplayer Is Bending Water Like A Pro

There’s cosplaying as Korra, and then there’s “oh man look at this it looks like she’s actually waterbending while cosplaying as Korra”. I mean, wow. It’s spell-binding cosplay-meets-rhythmic-gymnastics work from baeloid It’s from the video below, which was shot by FDSedanoArts (via imgur)

Zelda As A Spaghetti Western? Sure, Let’s Run With It

The Zelda series is no stranger to tipping its hat to Westerns. From Spirit Tracks to Gerudo Valley, there’s cowboy blood in Hyrule’s veins. Thing is, it’s always been subtle. This new vid from beatdownboogie, though, throws subtlety out the window. Ganon is a bad cowboy, Zelda is a cowlady and Link, well, Link does…

Final Fantasy VII Cosplay Is Dead Perfect

Wes Johnson is Cloud and Sarah Quillian, aka Adella, is Aeris. Photographer Jan-Michael Losada made a whole series out of this, with some very cool underwater shots, so be sure to check out the rest of the pics.
