One of the most talentedartists I’ve ever featured in my Fine Art series on Kotaku is Dan LuVisi. What does that have to do with cosplay? Let me explain. LuVisi has a graphic novel series called Last Man Standing. There’s a ton of potential in its sci-fi world, and some fantastic art (not to mention…
Food for thought.
Ezio, is that you? Superstar cosplayer Leon Chiro is no strangerto top-shelf Assassin’s Creed cosplay, but this latest venture is easily his best yet. Not just for the costume — though it is a fantastic replica of Ezio’s outfit — but for the complete package. Chiro (who is Italian) went and shot on location in…
I’ve never actually seen Kill la Kill, but I have seen its cosplay. It’s a show about skin, suspenders and a giant sword, right? That sword is here now, in the real world, and was built by Harrison Krix. It’s an interesting design, both to look at and to have to build, because it’s technically…
Jem cosplay! And not just any Jem cosplay, Misfits cosplay! Take a bow, all involved.

Faust & Company specialise in masks, especially ones made out of neoprene, one of cosplay’s best friends. This one is called “Dragon Skull”, but that’s just for copyright reasons: it’s really just a nice and adult way for you to dress like a Pokémon. It’s a little more “realistic” than Cubone’s version, but then, Cubone…
Freya Willia is Commander Shepard in this getup. It’s not just a fantastic suit of armour, with some great detail all around, but some awesome weapons as well, including two firearms designed by Volpin Props If you want to learn about how much work went into something like this, Freya has a great progress log…
They are the ‘boots on the ground’. An accessible, friendly team of specialists trained to assess and deploy anti-harassment tactics at conventions throughout Australia. They are the Cosplay Sentinels: they want to make the con experience better and safer for all cosplayers, photographers, attendees. Everyone. Their goal? To empower every single attendee of every convention…
Ophidia’s take on Dragon Age’s Morrigan here may as well be a promo shot for a HBO series. It goes to show that as awesome as an outfit can be, sometimes it’s the location that turns a good cosplay shoot into a great one. Photos by aKami777
Lianne Moseley is able to turn regular human beings into comic book superheroes, using only the powers of…a make-up brush. Just look at this! She-Hulk, Green Arrow, X-Men…even Archer, who isn’t really a comic book hero, but whatever, close enough. You can see more of Lianne’s work at her Facebook page (via Fashionably Geek). Contact…

Take one cosplay. Add one iPad. What do you get? You get clever. These photos were spotted by Japanese Twitter user Kasyuu and retweeted over eleven thousand times. I like how naturally the outfit and the anime face of Love Live‘s Eli Ayase appear to come together. [Photos via Kasyuu] It’s almost like the iPad…
Hey, it’s Tombo, from Kiki’s Delivery Service. The world needs more Kiki’s cosplay. Cosplay by Semashke, photo by Rhainė
This is super corny, but somehow it, still works. Nice editing!
“You Are Getting Old” reminder: people are now grown up, looking back fondly to their childhoods and cosplaying as Kim Possible (and doing an excellent job!). Cosplay by Danielle Beaulieu, photo by Jaycee Photography (viafashionably geek).
Nice to see 2013’s best Smash Bros. jokes finally have the cosplay they deserve. Cosplay by Moderately Okay Cosplay, photo by Mig Photography World
Not everyone has enormous boobs. I don’t, for example. And not everyone with large breasts is keen to show them while cosplaying. Fair enough! So here’s a smart solution via one industrious cosplayer. Cosplayer Nameko Children has come up with what she calls the “fluffy bust.” Her creation does a fine job of capturing the…
God, this Sherlock cosplay is so good. It’s a great example of how replicating an expression can make you look as much like your subject as any amount of make-up or prosthetics work. Cosplay is by Myrddin Emry, photo by Silhouette
Well, not literally. I mean, these are just cosplayers. Hangin’ out, takin’ photos. They’re not really up to extreme acts of deicide. But if they wanted to pick thar up, maybe they could, because they’re so good at the whole cosplay thing that I’m sure they could do anything they put their minds to. What…
Oh dear.
