One of the most talentedartists Iāve ever featured in my Fine Art series on Kotaku is Dan LuVisi. What does that have to do with cosplay? Let me explain.

LuVisi has a graphic novel series called Last Man Standing. Thereās a ton of potential in its sci-fi world, and some fantastic art (not to mention tentative movie plans), but at the moment as an upcoming series with only two published books (though note: there is now a toys) most people would never have heard of it, nor would they recognise LMSā star Gabriel.
One of the few who have, though, introduced LuVisiās work to her artist boyfriend, Hugh Holder. Inspired, Holder not only built some impressive 3D models of Gabriel, but also went and built a very impressive cosplay outfit of it!
Thereās a write-up and gallery of Holderās work on his ArtStationpage, but hereās a highlighted selection of pics from both the model and the costume. If you wanna check out Last Man Standing, itās on Amazon
