There’s a general assumption that, when it comes to matters of race, parts of the cosplay community can sometimes be a little weird. Someone who’s black, for instance, might run into problems cosplaying as a white character. It’s not a widespread issue, nor is anyone trying to say that all cosplayers can be racist assholes,…
Melanie Colley channels the surreal with this Faun outfit from Pan’s Labyrinth. If it looks complex and involved, that’s because it was, as you can see from these progress shots. You can see more shots of the costume on Melanie’s cosplay.com page
Plan 9 From Outer Space cosplay! That’s awesome just for the subject matter, but the execution is even better. Cosplay by John Robert Price and Brandy Mason, photo by Jarod Kearney

Photographer William Phan was at the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo to snap this battle of the ice masters.
Reader Pierre, a fan of Assassin’s Creed cosplay, has gone to the trouble of making an outfit for the series’ latest hero, a character we’ve barely seen and know nothing of. A little crazy, perhaps, but you’ve gotta admire his dedication! Especially since he went to the trouble of getting to the actual location depicted…
This isn’t just Fallout cosplay. This is Fallout LARP, a group of dedicated fans in the (where else) Czech Republic taking to some crummy old buildings and role-playing their own post-apocalyptic adventures. The 2014 edition will take place in August; these pics (taken by Tomas Felcman) and videos are from last year’s event. As you…
A traditional definition of cosplay, if such a thing even existed, would probably include some requirement to wear a costume. But you can sometimes achieve the same end result with nothing but make-up. MadeYewLook is a pro when it comes to make-up, so much so that she can transform herself into characters like Alice, the…
Johnny Bravo was at Wondercon? Bummed I wasn’t there. Cosplay by metalslimer, photo by Davann Srey

Bravo, Formaldegit. I know Scarecrow is meant to inspire nightmares, but applause will have to do in this case. Photo by le-miracle
Make-up artist Florea Flavia could have transformed herself into any of the heroes of Attack on Titan, but that would have been too easy.
The Gold Coast edition of Australia’s Supanova convention was held a couple of weeks ago. ArtificialDogmawas there with a camera to make sure we could all share in the awesome cosplay.
Folkenstal builds weapons and armour, mostly from Skyrim. She is very, very good at what she does. Cataloguing her builds on both Facebookand her personal site, there’s everything from intricate daggers to entire suits of armour. If you like what you see here, know that she does commissions
When René Koiter and Rebecca Watts want to dress as power couple Khal Drogo and Daenerys, they don’t do it half-assed. Instead, they make sure literally a dozen people are involved to get these images, from set coordinators to fitness trainers to a hairstylist. I don’t know what’s most impressive. Rebecca for her ability to…
Let the age of Bravely Default cosplay commence. Great costume, even if Linda Le has got her characters all wrong (Agnes as a vampire? My Agnes was a performer!)
Using cosplay images without crediting the photographer is not cool. It’s a lot worse, though, when a European news program steals some cosplay footage, edits it then falls into the ol’ “all Asians look the same” trap. This story ran recently on Spain’s Telecinco 5. It’s about Tokyo’s fashion culture, and seems to be little…
At university entrance ceremonies, you are supposed to wear a suit. Dress conservatively! These kids didn’t get the memo and showed up in body paint. While the Kyoto University seems to be a cosplay free for all, the Hokkaido University apparently wouldn’t let these freshmen into their entrance ceremony. Maybe campus security was worried about…
In the wilds of the Czech Republic, a massive group of Warhammer fans have gathered, dressed up and gone to war. Not on the tabletop. On a “real” battlefield. Smrtihlav 2014, held on the grounds of Orlík Castle, saw the forces of The Empire do battle with the armies of Chaos in an enormous LARP…
