Had A Rough Day? Here’s A Cosplaying Corgi

Everyone, meet Kiba, the cosplaying corgi. Kiba, this is everyone. When not cosplaying, Kiba works as a therapy dog. And also, I’m assuming, a stealer and breaker of hearts. Kiba The Cosplaying Corgi [Facebook, via Cosplay Blog]

Sick Of Dancing, Disney’s Princesses Are Ready For Battle

Photographer William Phan took these shots of Disney’s Battle Princesses at Anime Revolution in Vancouver over the weekend. It’s an idea I feel like I’ve seen before, maybe even with cosplay, but never executed this well. Snow White’s armour design is amazing, while the coat of arms on Cinderella’s shield is a nice touch.

Computers, Lasers Turn Real Human Into Scary Robot

The effect you’re seeing here, applied as a form of “electronic make-up”, is the result of CG and projection tech being screened and updated – in real-time – onto a model’s face. Sure, you can see parts where it can’t quite keep up with the model’s movements, but as a start, it’s some incredible stuff.…

My World Ends With This Tribute

God, it’s not just TWEWY cosplay, it’s near-perfect TWEWY cosplay. Awesome job, Cvy (and Itismoi).

60 Seconds To Perfect Titanfall Cosplay

Malaysian cosplayer Craft Access does Titanfall, and even gets the pilot’s facemask (and lighting!) right. The crowd goes wild.

Couples, Don’t Cosplay The Last Of Us, Please

There are a great many relationship dynamics at play in the story of The Last Of Us. This is, ew, not one of them. Though granted, while on the subject, we’ve seen worse For the record, Joel is Luke Asher McLaughlin, and Ellie is indeed his girlfriend. Photos by Shaddy (and they were actually taken…
