Shannon I., 23, didn’t want to leave her Baltimore hotel room. For months, she had been looking forward to Otakon, Baltimore’s annual anime convention, and especially to cosplaying Takumi from Fire Emblem Fates. Trimmed in fur, embellished with red string and topped with a white wig, Shannon’s cosplay was impeccable.…
2016's take on Tomb Raider has a lot going for it, but there are still folks out there—cosplayers included—who remember the original Lara Croft.
Czech cosplayer Alzbeta Trojanova might have Ciri’s hair, but she’s got Geralt’s steel.
I covered this earlier in the year when it was just a make-up test, but ver1sa’s Ripley (from Aliens) cosplay is now done and it’s just the best.
Last weekend, I hopped a train to Baltimore to report at Otakon, an anime convention with upwards of 20,000 attendees, many of whom were decked out in mind-meltingly good cosplay. One thing I noticed was that, on the whole, Otakon’s women were absolutely killing it cosplaying Overwatch heroes.
Venusaur gets a lot of flak for being a gross, warty toad who’s kind of trash after the third Pokémon gym. He’s also my favorite Pokémon (fight me). At Otakon last Saturday, Chelsea (@lordcreepypeepee) cosplayed the cutest damn Venusaur I’ve ever seen. Now, look me in the eye and tell me Venusaur isn’t the very best:
Decked out in armour and weapons made by Wulfgar Weapons & Props, this group of fans hit Gencon last week with some of the best 40K cosplay I have ever seen.
Every August, the twice-yearly Comic Market gets underway in Tokyo. Besides fan-created comics, it draws numerous cosplayers who brave the heat to show off their outfits.
In case you haven’t heard by now, Overwatch porn is big. Search in the right corners of the Internet, and you’ll find sticky mountains of the stuff. The question on, well, somebody’s mind: what do people who like to pretend they are these characters think?
I’m biased here, since she’s my main, but Mercy has the best in a game full of great character designs. So of course, when someone pulls off quality Mercy cosplay, it’s a sight to behold.
We’ve already seen some Horizon Zero Dawn cosplay, but here’s some more, shot in one of the only places that can match the game’s demo for its “giant trees and snowy mountains” look: Norway.
Jannet “Incosplay” Vinogradova and Ardsami know what the kids like in their Overwatch fiction.
While he’s one of the more impressive creature costumes in The Force Awakens, Grummgar spends his entire on-screen time sitting on the couch. Unlike this cosplay, which can get up and move around and do space mercenary stuff wherever the hell it wants.
When I opened an email about a “Transformers cosplay fan film”, I feared the worst. A CG-filled compilation of cringe, with bad Stan Bush covers.
It was surprising enough when your vacationing editor-in-chief discovered last Thursday that Donald Trump was also in Portland, Maine and was about to give a speech a few blocks away. It was even more surprising when the people picketing outside the rally turned out to include a guy dressed as a Captain America…
Photographer Felix Wong took this shot of Dunkmasterx and SOL XXV - CW at Otakuthon on the weekend. Nice legs, guys.
Cosplayer William “Billy” Morris was on his way to a cosplay shoot in NYC on Saturday when, planning to cosplay at the event, he hopped onto a train. He probably shouldn’t have taken his fake rifle with him.
Nothing will top this. Nothing.
