Cosplay continues to be a little bit of an unknown world to me, nevertheless it’s one I’d like to be extra concerned with. I’ve solely ever cosplayed as soon as, actually—except for the odd Halloween costume which I do know does not really matter—however that does not imply I do not attempt to keep as within the loop as doable. I’ve at all times been extra of a lurker, spending hours scrolling via social media admiring everybody’s dedication to their favorite characters, and I’m continuously impressed by the creativity the cosplay neighborhood showcases.
Character Select
Welcome to Character Select, a weekly column the place PC Gamer takes a have a look at the artwork and cosplay created by you. Each week, I’ll spotlight a couple of of my favorite items, highlight and interview creators and artists, or usually simply chew your ear off concerning the abilities of the gaming neighborhood.
I wanted to start off by spotlighting this incredible Hideo Kojima cosplay from Matt To (@zzorrx2 on Instagram) which our very personal Midas received to witness within the flesh during the last weekend. I’ve seen a couple of Kojima cosplays throughout the previous couple of months, however none of them outdoors of the consolation of the mannequin’s home. I’d be mendacity if I mentioned this unbelievable cosplay did not make me do a double take when Midas initially shared the picture. Sometimes you’ll be able to’t assist however applaud somebody for his or her dedication to the bit.
I additionally wished to offer a particular shoutout to anybody who walks the hallowed conference halls of Comic Con/EGX in any form of energy armour, or usually armoured outfit for that matter. As quickly because the temperature falls within the UK we like to pump the heating up as excessive because it’ll go, and I do not think about any of those fits have nice air-con. But, they do look unbelievable. I bear in mind seeing Reinhardt’s “Griefhardt” cosplay at a gaming conference (Insomnia Gaming Festival in 2023, in the event you had been questioning) and being blown away by the sheer scale and element of it earlier than turning into genuinely interested in the way it feels to cart the load of all of the armour round all day.
MCM Comic Con noticed loads of 40k cosplayers this yr, together with this unbelievable Iron Warrior go well with by @IronWarriorCosplay on Instagram. One of the burning questions I’ve at all times had for individuals who decide to Warhammer 40k cosplay, or any massive armoured or mech-related costume for that matter, is the place do you set it? When you are not roaming conference halls or taking footage for social media, the place do you retailer all of the elements? Do you’ve gotten a stand for it in your home, or does it get crammed right into a room till the subsequent time you convey it out? These are the issues I have to know and I lastly have a spot to ask you.
The pace at which individuals have created unbelievable Hornet cosplays since Silksong’s launch in September is astounding too. I’ve cherished seeing the alternative ways individuals approached making Hornet’s masks, like utilizing paper mache or cardboard and plenty of creative potential I may solely think about harnessing. But one cosplay I noticed from MCM final weekend by Teo’s Nest went so far as 3D printing the headpiece, which takes some severe time and filament. It does look unbelievable although, so it was clearly definitely worth the effort (and the images taken with different Silksong friends).
If the entire pictures and movies from Comic Con/EGX have jogged my memory of 1 factor although, it is that cosplay actually is for everybody. No matter your fandom, or how previous you might be, or your ability degree at any form of prop and costume making, you are at all times welcomed and inspired to hitch in. It’s the identical with any conference. Although most of my cosplay comes from no matter is mendacity round in my wardrobe, I can not assist feeling a glimmer of inventive inspiration from the attendees, which hopefully means I’ll get to wander round dressed up subsequent yr quite than admiring from a distance.
