Why Weren’t These Guys Fighting On Endor? The Empire Might Have Won!
You’ve got to think that one of the main reasons Imperial troops got their asses handed to them on Endor was their camouflage. Or, lack thereof. That glossy white armour plating doesn’t exactly make you blend in with the forest surroundings. This is a Swamp Trooper, but that colour palette could easily have worked among…

This Is What We Call The Muppet Cosplay Show!
For such a big series, not many people ever cosplay as the Muppets. But that’s OK. Brady Gage and his buddies are proving once again that quality trumps quantity. We’ve actually seen the work of Brady and his group – the Portland Superheroes Coalition – before, but that was just a coupleof suits. They’ve since…

Reboot Cosplay? Reboot Cosplay.
I’m seeing this, and all I can picture is that this is what the show would have looked like with $100 million and some modern computers behind it. Cosplayers are VandorWolfand twinfools. Photo by Stary-dragonlover

Game Of Thrones Art Gets The Cosplay It Deserves
So, remember Mike Wrobel’s amazing portrayalsof the cast of Game of Thrones as bad 80s and 90s stereotypes? A group of cosplayers went to Dragon Con dressed as all of them Adam Albert took the images, which are so good they even get the original poses right. [via Fashionably Geek]

It’s OK, Kitty, Titans Prefer Eating Humans
Make-up artist Lara Hawker can, with some brushes and a deft touch, transform a regular human into something a lot more bizarre. That Colossal Titan one is fantastic! That realistic wound one, however, is just gross Lara Hawker [Tumblr, via Laughing Squid]

There’s No Reason The Apocalypse Can’t Also Have Cool Sunglasses
Dimitri from Snail Designs, whose work we’ve featured before, recently finished a new, custom post-apocalyptic outfit. And it’s amazing. Love the worn-and-torn effect he’s able to get into the fabric.

Sand People Ride Cute Dogs In Single File, To Hide Their Numbers
$24. That’s all this costs. $24 to turn your “dog” into a Bantha. I say “dog”, because I’m looking at this, and I’m looking at my 18 month-old kid, and I’m reaching for my wallet. For those of a more Imperial persuasion, you can get a similar outfit, only with a Sandtrooper atopa Dewback. [via…

CultureCosplayA Real Aircraft Carrier Makes For An Amazing Cosplay Video
KantaiCon is a one-day anime convention in South Carolina which takes place on an actual aircraft carrier — the USS Yorktown. As demonstrated in Beat Down Boogie‘s video from last week’s event, it’s an excellent setting for cosplay. Not only does KantaiCon take place on the Yorktown, there’s a submarine and a destroyer on hand…

Couple Gets Engaged At The End Of The World
Devon and Joy, both video game artists (we actually featured Devon’s work recently), got engaged the other day. Congrats guys! To celebrate the occasion, then, they got a photo shoot done. A…post-apocalyptic photo shoot. Dawn Bowerytook the shots. I love how they’re actually dual-purpose. I know the intent is post-apocalyptic, but those clean, happy faces…

You. Can. Be. Groot (For Just $50).
It would be easy to assume that cosplaying as Groot, from Guardians of the Galaxy, is way out of your price range. All that detail! That scale! Turns out, nope, you can do it for just $50. Remember: twigs are free.

CultureCosplayEvery Cosplay Video Should Be A Musical Number
Videographer RealTDragonwas in my backyard last weekend, using the power of his camera to cause Dragon Con cosplayers to burst a rousing chorus of “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.” More of this, please. Sadly I was too busy recuperating to attend Dragon Con this year, but having been part of the convention’s security team for…

Hunting Monsters In Style
Cosplayer Aurorespent six months crafting this ridiculously-detailed Monster Hunter outfit, and boy has the work paid off. Most of the armour is made out of Worbla and craft foam, which is why it looks so damn good. The pics you’re seeing here were taken by Lucas Ambrosio
