They did this the old-fashioned way: with cranes and wires
A team of cosplayers have brought a series of illustrations to life
The last time we saw Enyendabbling in Yakuza cosplay, it was as a solitary star of the gangster saga. This time, he’s back, and just like Ichiban in Like a Dragon, he’s brought some friends. This is most of the main crew (sorry Eri!) of Sega’s latest crime/wholesome adventure, with Enyen as Kasuga, Mr. G…
There hasn’t been much cosplay to feature here in 2020 for obvious reasons, but have you ever wondered that when people do get together for a shoot, how it all works in an age of lockdowns and social distancing? This Watch Dogs Legion shoot by So Say We All got me thinking that exact question,…
Photographer Nikolay Zharov put this incredible shoot together featuring the work of three cosplayers: Tina Morbid (Good Hunter), Shion (Father Gascoigne) and Zep Hindle (Old Hunter Henryk). The costumes are amazing! Ditto the props! But I also deeply love the action figure-style pedestal shots, it’s a great way to give us a look at a…
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…
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…
Or not, really, it just involves a lot of hard work and some very nice photos. That’s Jessica Nigri under the suit, while photos are by Martin Wong
There are a lot of smaller, easier props you could make if you wanted to recreate a weapon from Overwatch, but nope, H-arthas skipped past all of those and forged himself an enormous replica of Reinhardt’s hammer. Unlike most replicas you’ll see, which will have been made with foam and/or wood, H-art torched, welded and…
This is Mary & Feinobi’s take on Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker, with the suit made bespoke by Toph Cosplay/Art and photos by FOTO Roman Čierny
I’m not sure what this says about the odds of a successful union, but it’s at least a very nice way to spend big on an engagement. When Gavin Carter—a producer on Fallout 3 and Halo 4—wanted to propose to his girlfriend recently, he didn’t want to do things the old fashioned way. Instead, he…
Back in March, we ran a little feature on Carolina Ravassa, the voice actor behind Sombra who spent a day cosplaying as the Overwatch hacker. That was at Katsucon, but for BlizzCon 2019, she was joined by two other cast members, Anjali Bhimani (Symmetra) and Matthew Mercer (McCree). Cosplayer Melanie Jasmine (below, left) made Ravassa…
One of my favorite cosplayers on the planet, Julian Checkley, has spent the last two years working on a Batman outfit that is so good I’m starting to wonder if he’s actually working for Bruce Wayne on the side. “Everything was sculpted, molded and cast in various grades of urethane rubber by me,” Julian says…
When Diablo 4 was announced over the weekend, there was some very large and very professional cosplay to go along with it. Like they’ve done with recent Overwatch character reveals, Blizzard hired professional cosplayers to help out on the news, in this case getting Henchmen Studios—one of the biggest and best costume/prop workshops around—and make-up…
This enormous Grammeowster Chef is so big, and so detailed, that it took two studios—GSTQ Fashions (who we covered recently for their work on Dave Bautista’s final WWE outfit) and Wooden Leg Studios—to bring it to life. The cosplay was commissioned by Capcom for the company’s Monster Hunter display at PAX West, and stands over…
Now that Overwatch players have stopped complaining about how overpowered the hero Brigitte is, perhaps we can all guiltlessly enjoy some fantastic Brigitte cosplay. On Saturday, Melbourne, Australia-based cosplayer AltF4Cosplay posted her completed shield from Brigitte’s “Shieldmaiden” skin. Here’s what the shield looks like in-game: And here is AltF4Cosplay’s brilliant shield. It even lights up:…
German cosplayer Kes von Puch and her boyfriend Marcel are to thank for this incredible piece of God of War cosplay, which didn’t just require the creation of a costume, but the transformation of a man. While Kes was spending over 1000 hours crafting Kratos’ outfit, making everything from his belt to his pouches to…
For decades, cosplay conventions have followed the same basic formula: everyone goes to a hotel or convention centre, they meet up, they take photos, they party after then they go home. As cosplay grows in size and scope, though, some cosplayers are finding that the same ol’ same ol’ just isn’t enough anymore. At the…
Actor Carolina Ravassa has been doing video game work for years now, appearing in everything from Grand Theft Auto V to Max Payne 3 to Just Cause 4. But her most famous role is that of Sombra in Overwatch, one she’s now playing in real life as well as the recording studio. At Katsucon earlier…
I know, we’ve already run our BlizzCon cosplay gallery, but there was a special event being held at the show this year that I thought deserved its own spotlight. It was called Project Ebon Blade, and involved dozens of World of Warcraft fans trying out a new twist on the game’s canon. With outfits based…
