The Smoke Is A Cosplay Superstar

Eric “The Smoke” Moran is a wrestler, actor and producer (and comic book hero). He is also one hell of a cosplayer. You know what’s most impressive, other than the obviously fantastic outfits? It’s the range. From Spawn to Battle of the Planets to Batman to Appleseed to Judge Dredd to Assassin’s Creed, he’s covering…

Every day that we get to see Princess Mononoke cosplay is a good day. Cosplay by Meisha Mock, photo by Joits (via cosplayblog).

The Internet’s Most “Terrible” Cosplay Is Still the Most Amusing

Remember Anucha “Cha” Saengchart? He’s the fellow that runs Lowcost Cosplay, a Facebook site centered around super cheap, ramshackle cosplay made from whatever is laying around the house. It’s so “bad,” it’s good. Lowcost Cosplay is incredibly creative and done with an incredibly dry sense of humor. I love it. Back in March, Kotaku first…

The Best Way To Do A Bad Princess

Neko-Tin, who’s been featured on Kotaku before for her Final Fantasy cosplay, dresses here as Zelda. And not the good kind of Zelda, either. Photo by Marico.

Garrus Cosplay Is The Perfect Mass Effect Tribute

I’ve seen some quality Garrus cosplay in my time, but never something this damn impressive. There’s so much quality here, from the brushed metal effect on the armour to the hands, but it’s the face that gets me. It’s just so perfect. Cosplay is by Sarrah Wilkinson, photos by Sam Mort

It’s June 24. Which is Ezio’s birthday (if he was both real and alive), so Italian Assassin’s Creed cosplayer Geneva decided to celebrate with some crossplay. Photo by Eliza Russo.

When Cosplay Goes From A Pastime To A Job

When Stacey Lee Feldman first saw Star Wars: The Phantom Menace in 1999, her life changed forever. And not in a “Star Wars will never be the same again” kind of way, either. [Top image: Peter Verrant] After seeing the film’s two Jedi protagonists spend most of the film wearing luxurious brown robes, Feldman instantly…

The Very Best Hearthstone Cosplay

It’s a short list, which begins and ends with this

Cosplay Panorama Turns Humans Into Superstars

Attendees at Sydney’s Supanova convention last weekend got to try out something pretty neat: a 360-degree camera rig just like the ones E! uses on the Oscars red carpet. The results are pretty cool. Cosplayers acting out can sometimes look a little naff, but the way this freezes them in the middle of a pose…

Where’s Waldo? Oh, He’s Dead.

French cosplayer and artist Boredman shows what happens when you give up on ever finding Waldo: he dies, rots then returns to feast on the flesh of the living. If you’re curious about the strange metal clip sticking out of his mouth, Boredman says it’s a prop to help his mouth curl into a zombie-like…

Metal Gear Weirdness Gets Its Own Cosplay

If there was one thing I took away from the overblown E3 trailer for Metal Gear Solid V, it was that kinda creepy part where Big Boss rubs ashes all over his face. Naturally, then, we already have cosplay of it. These pics are from Japanese cosplay superstar Omi Gibson. And before you complain about…

$5 Cosplay Challenge Ends In Hilariously Awful Costumes

Four friends lay down a challenge. They walk into a dollar store, can spend up to $5 and have to make a cosplay outfit with what they’ve bought. The results are…well. You’ve got to say they’re impressive given the price cap, moreso when you look at the costumes they’re attempting. Iron Man is pretty funny,…

You Don’t Really Need Clothes for Attack on Titan Cosplay

And you thought the Titans were the only birthday suit cosplay Attack on Titan offered? Silly you! Note: This article contains content that some readers might find objectionable. As pointed out by Japanese cosplay site Asagawo Blog, Borivoje Naumovski from Belgrade has done a rather interesting take on Attack on Titan‘s Erwin Smith. This is…

There Is No Dana. Only Cosplay.

Time for a break from all the E3 madness. So here’s Ivy95 cosplaying like it’s 1984 and she knows exactly who to call. Photo by MC Illusion
