Narga, who we last saw on this site mastering Warcraft cosplay, is now doing the same for The Witcher 3. This Ciri is just perfect, from the outfit to the scars. All photos by KIRA (who also took those amazing Last of Us 2 shots a few months back). And if you’re a cosplayer and…
It took amazoniancosjust a month from first laying eyes on Ubisoft’s design for Eivor earlier in the year to getting this costume together. Except for the blood, that was just for the day. All photos by So Say We All
Cosplayer Zibartas—who we’ve seen here before with some top-tier Overwatch work—has truly outdone himself here, building a complete set of Mercy’s wings made out of steel and aluminium, that move and really light up. Here’s the finished product: God damn If you’d like to see how something like this was put together, Zibartas has made…
With the San Diego Comic-Con cancelled (at least in person) for 2020, one of the best cosplay events on the planet ended up being cancelled along with it. Bummer. To help remember a time when people could get together in crowds and dress up, then, here’s a retrospective of the last few year’s worth of…
Put together by Milynn Sarley and featuring art by Emily Claus, Starlight Guild is a new colouring book that turns some excellent fantasy cosplay into some excellent, crafty art. Cosplayers and costume designers featured include aliciamariebody, fireflypath, hendoart and _fairytas. “I took my real life friends who have made strides in the world as professional…
This is Russian cosplayer Molzadoing a fantastic Ellie from The Last Of Us 2, with a shoot taking place in a half-finished, abandoned Moscow hospital that is about as perfect a Last Of Us setting as you could get. All photos are by Kira, with a guest appearance by Jackas some dead meat. Cosplay by…
Wanting to bring a little Animal Crossing into the real world, props builder Kiril Hearn from Flux Tide Designs has gone and made replicas of some of the game’s items/icons, like the furniture leaf and fossil. They’re small enough to fit on your desk (6cm long, 7cm high), but what I really like about these…
A restaurant in Lethbridge, Canada last week thought it’d be fun for an employee to stand outside dressed as a Stormtrooper to celebrate Star Wars Day on May 4. Instead, the woman in the costume ended up getting the cops called on her and her nose smashed up before being arrested. As LNN report, the…
A Chinese food delivery company has been testing an exoskeleton its couriers could wear which would allow them to carry a lot more stuff. And while they’re at it look like the world’s most expensive Death Stranding cosplayers. The suits are made by ULS Robotics, a firm that specialises in the research of exoskeletons to…
In any other year this would be the time where we’d only just be ramping up our cosplay event coverage as we approached shows like Anime Expo and Comic Con, but in 2020, where everything is terrible, we are not. Instead, somehow, March’s PAX East is probably going to end up being the last show…
Rick Boer, once known around these parts as the King of Metal Gear cosplay, has since become a family man. Which hasn’t stopped his cosplay efforts; it just means he’s got someone else around to help out. These images show Rick and his son Luke (his actual, very good name). This first one below was…
One of the biggest casualties of the global Covid-19 lockdowns are events like comic and anime conventions, because huge arenas filled with tens of thousands of people crammed in, hugging and shaking hands are a massive health risk. But that’s OK! We can still have cons on the internet. And not just joke ones, like…
When a cosplayer spends weeks or even months on an outfit, it’s not always so they can wear it once then bin it. A lot of the time a costume can be kept for years after its first wearing, as it’s added to and improved upon. As an example of that, here’s cosplayer Alexandre, who…
For a few years now on April 1, cosplayers from around the world have joined in on a common joke and posted some pics. This year’s effort, though, took on some added significance, as without any major cosplay cons taking place in the foreseeable future, this “con” was as close to a show as anyone…
These are trying times. One man keeps making the internet a better place with his low-cost cosplay. Thank goodness for that! Kotaku first profiled Anucha “Cha” Saengchart (aka “Lonelyman”) and his inexpensive cosplay way back in 2014. Since then, he’s continued to delight and amuse. His latest Tom Nook creation is something else. This isn’t…
Just goes to show, sometimes it’s not the outfit that makes the cosplay. It’s the…choreography and fight scenes? The same team behind that Mandalorian video from a few weeks back have decided to get together again and do the same thing, but for The Witcher. The terrible costumes are the point: these guys are here…
Earlier this month, Mexico City-based cosplayer Salvador Hernandez unveiled his kaiju armor costume. It’s fantastic. The original kaiju armor design was created by artist Bat Zemo. Hernandez, who’s only been crafting costumes for about two years, used that for the basis of his outfit. “From there I took the design for my Godzilla armor [and]…
While cosplay cons are definitely not taking place anytime soon, Jan. 31-Feb. 2 saw Japan Expo Thailand take place. It’s one of the biggest shows in all of Asia with over 500,000 fans coming through the gates over the weekend. We’ve got coverage of the show thanks to a collaboration between local photographer and video…
It’s kinda fitting that the NBA’s All-Star Weekend was held in Chicago this year, because a couple weeks later it was also the setting for C2E2, one of the biggest cons of the year and a show that’s kinda become its own unofficial All-Star Weekend for cosplay. Taking place Feb 28-Mar 1, C2E2 hosted the…
Despite there currently being a reported 13 cases of coronavirus in Washington State, and two deaths, the organisers of the Emerald City Comic-Con have pledged to go ahead with the show, which is due to be held March 12-15 at the Washington State Convention Center. Updated: 3/6/20, 1:56 p.m. ET: The organizers of the Emerald…
