Behold this insanely detailed SPAAACE MARINE armour

Tabletop gamers, brace yourselves. You think the hours that you spend painting a single figure for your Warhammer 40 000 campaign is exhausting? Try getting an actual suit of the armour on for size.

The hottest Kerrigan cosplay you’ll ever see

What I absolutely love about my Twitter feed is that it’s full of win and it’s also where I saw a link to this post on Kotaku. It’s about a cosplayer extraordinaire who’s taken Kerrigan to a whole new level.

A gallery of videogame pet cosplay

As much as I appreciate the skill and artistry that goes in to cosplay, I have to admit to secretly judging those who participate. I know I shouldn’t ; it’s okay that you lot are weird and want to play dress up. I’m weird too, and have a number of eccentricities that would likely cause you to raise an eyebrow. We’re all just people, and that’s cool. When people start dressing their pets up though, then I think the raised brows are justified.

The top ten worst gaming cosplays…ever

Dressing up as your favourite video game/manga/anime/movie/my little pony character can be a fun and challenging experience. It doesn’t matter what you look like though, because putting some time and effort into a project pays off handsomely in the end. There’s nothing like good cosplay, but unfortunately, these following images are nothing like good cosplay.

Silent Hill 2 Cosplay

So yesterday I posted up some Assassin’s Creed 3 cosplay with Jessica Nigri and her famous assets which was quite well received so I thought I’d find some more.

Sexy Assassin’s Creed Cosplay

Unfortunately most of the country is back at work today and since 94.2%* of people don’t enjoy the jobs they do on a daily basis this means there are a lot of miserable people in our fair land. But never fear; I’ve searched far and wide to find some pictures to make your day feel better.

Nothing can stop the Juggernaut cosplay!

December 4, 2012 at 3:30 pm | 5 Comments

When you think of cosplay, you probably think of short skirts, tight tops and sultry leggings. While that accurately describes the Sailor Moon costume that I’m working on for a new years party, there is also another kind of cosplay out there. Bulkier, heavier and more rugged than what is usually seen at conventions. Cosplay such as…the Juggernaut!

This Bioshock cosplayer was so impressive, she landed a job

December 4, 2012 at 9:00 am | 10 Comments

Hey, remember this little taste of Russian Bioshock Infinite cosplay that was ridiculously convincing? Cosplayer Anna Moleva was the lady behind that authentic look of BI’s Elizabeth, that captured quite a few hearts with her dead on portrayal of the Songbird captive. In fact, it was so good, that developer Irrational Games has offered her a paying gig as the character, for the next year.

Halo cosplayer, ya doing it right

November 19, 2012 at 2:00 pm | 1 Comment

When it comes to gaming cosplay, there are some easy costumes out there. Get jaundice, eat enough food to be technically classified as a beached whale, and you can pull of a pretty convincing Pac Man. Then again, you could put some real effort into your getup, and go all out with accuracy and detail. That’s what this cosplayer did, as LilTyrant from the 405th Infantry Division forums may have just created one of the best Halo armoured suits, like, ever.

The tale of the littlest Stormtrooper

November 15, 2012 at 4:55 pm | 16 Comments

It’s not easy being a kid at school. Face facts, when we’re young, we’re freakin’ monsters, and the second we see something that indicates that anotehr child is “different”, we’ll ostracise them with maximum prejudice. That’s the case for Katie Goldman, a young Star Wars fan who was bullied because she loved the sci-fi trilogies of a galaxy far, far away. And then the bad guys stepped in to help her out.

Cosplay has really started to boom here in S.A over the last year and keeps on getting better. One of our local cosplayers will be featured on the cover of an international cosplay book, co-authored by the breath taking and famous Yaya Han.

This Iron Man is a billionaire,playboy, philanthropist zombie

November 12, 2012 at 6:00 pm | 7 Comments

The Iron Man, one of the coolest visual ideas in comic books today. Mega-popular in cosplay circles, it’s also one of the most damned difficult suits to actually make accurate. A lot of people fail. A lot of people succeed. And then you get one guy who succeeds and wants to eat your brains. Wait, what?

Mad Moxxi cosplay–hit or miss?

So yesterday was stressful, I lost my rag at two local distributors and had to deal with the fallout from everyone else who works so hard to protect their little piece of the PR suck up pie.. so today I’m relaxing and posting fluff and hopefully my phone will stop ringing for a while.

The amazing cosplay of the New York Comic Con

October 15, 2012 at 3:30 pm | 43 Comments

Cosplay may be experiencing a positive growth locally, but man, we still have quite a way to go before we can match the level of geekitude that the United States of A boasts. The fans came out in force for the New York Comic Con recently, and there was a selection of costumes displayed, to amaze everyone. Including one guy who desecrated a Ghostbusters proton pack to have a Hello Kitty feel to it. Sacrilege!

Darryn’s take on rAge, with more melting and bat cleavage!

What a weekend! Everyone who knows me, knows how I love my comic books and heroes, but I’ve never had the courage before to actually dress up and appear before a live crowd in a suit that can be revealing. But this last weekend, I finally put a years worth of work on, and hit the Coca Cola Dome, with Geoff in tow as my faithful Alfred Ntombela. And what an experience it was…
