Dishonored 2’s Star Needs A Hug
James Cain is a freelance sculptor and illustrator from the UK. Shame these aren’t available for sale as physical items. I’d murder for some of those Dishonored and Banner Saga busts to be sitting nice and heavy on my desk. (Note: Cain has had some of them 3D-printed, and they look awesome) You can see…

Where Are My Cosplay Testicles, Summer?
Cosplayers Drcane (who built Snowball) and his friend Jerry (Rick) have outdone themselves here with this Rick & Morty shoot. Snuffles/Snowball isn’t an outfit (there’s nobody in there), it’s more of a prop, but still. It looks awesome. The matching graffiti is also a nice touch.

My copy of CSPLY EU arrived last week. It’s a hardcover book specifically about European cosplayers that was successfully Kickstarted a little while ago (though you can also buy it from a store). Its not bad! The focus is more on images than words, so there’s not much to necessarily learn about the European scene,…

CultureA Look At Some Of The Animation Behind Overwatch
Those Overwatch characters didn’t just animate themselves. Someone had to get in there and make them move, and Blizzard’s David Gibson is one of those responsible. We featured some of Gibson’s stuff a little while ago, when he shed some light on the technical side of making the game look so buttery-smooth. Today, though, we’re…

CultureSnacktaku Eats A&W Root Beer And Orange Crush Pop-Tarts
When Kellogg’s and the Dr. Pepper Snapple company announced they would be collaborating on a pair of soda-flavored Pop-Tarts, we here at Snacktaku scoffed. You should have heard the scoffing. It was Olympic-level scoffing. Now, having eaten them, we feel a little bad about it. Before we begin, a couple of items we must address.…

It’s fitting that Imperius is the greatest warrior in the heavens, because this is some of the greatest Diablo cosplay we’ve ever seen. You can see the outfit come together in…
