Fabio Barretta Zungrone is a senior matte painter at Blizzard, where he works in the company’s cinematics team.

Devon Fay is an environment artist who has worked at Blizzard, Neversoft and Infinity Ward. His Call of Duty space stuff is fantastic, but it’s the homages to Alien/2001 (like the pic above) that I just love. From the carpet to the board games, it really nails that Ron Cobb feel. You can see more…

Some astounding Metal Gear cosplay by Pro Voltage. These pics were taken by Mike Kowalekat Otakon, held earlier this month in Baltimore. And yes, before you ask, the Rex is an outfit (you can see it disassembled below), not a model.

Everyone, meet Kiba, the cosplaying corgi. Kiba, this is everyone. When not cosplaying, Kiba works as a therapy dog. And also, I’m assuming, a stealer and breaker of hearts. Kiba The Cosplaying Corgi [Facebook, via Cosplay Blog]

Photographer William Phan took these shots of Disney’s Battle Princesses at Anime Revolution in Vancouver over the weekend. It’s an idea I feel like I’ve seen before, maybe even with cosplay, but never executed this well. Snow White’s armour design is amazing, while the coat of arms on Cinderella’s shield is a nice touch.
