Cosplay originated from Asia, specifically Japan, but has gained popularity in the West over the past decade due to the rise of RPGs in the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n

Social media has played a significant role in the growth of cosplay, with fans not just dressing up as characters, but embodying them through their actions and poses. Professional cosplayers use their photography skills<\/a> and Photoshop<\/a> to bring their favorite characters to life.<\/p>\n

In this article, we highlight 40 enthusiastic and talented cosplayers who will inspire you to become a cosplay fan.<\/p>\n

300 \u2013 Spartan<\/h3>\n

I will never realize that this is actually cosplayed if nobody told me so. Even then, I believe it is probably the highest level of cosplay.<\/p>\n

Assassin Creed \u2013 Ezio Auditore da Firenze<\/h3>\n

Every move of this professional cosplayer is destined to be kickass!<\/p>\n

Atlantica Online \u2013 Oracle<\/h3>\n

The costume is perfect, but the vibrant lighting is what impressed me! It feels a bit like Diablo III\u2019s in-game lighting effect.<\/p>\n

\"atlantica<\/figure>\n

Batman The Dark Knight \u2013 Joker<\/h3>\n

Why so serious? You\u2019re so serious that your cosplay looks exactly like the real deal! That\u2019s what we called \u2018bloody genius\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"batman<\/figure>\n

Bayonetta<\/h3>\n

Though Bayonetta possesses a more playful personality, the portrayed emotion fits perfectly in this cosplay. And full marks for the clothing.<\/p>\n

\"bayonetta\"<\/figure>\n

Bayonetta \u2013 Rodin<\/h3>\n

He\u2019s coming, and there\u2019s nowhere you can run. This cosplay is the definition of the term \u201cbad-ass\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"bayonetta<\/figure>\n

Bioshock \u2013 Big Daddy<\/h3>\n

I know, this looks like a screenshot from the game. Then, I suggest you check this out: the behind-the-scene production post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"bioshock<\/figure>\n

Bleach<\/h3>\n

Though Bleach\u2019s character could be easily cosplayed, not many cosplay photographers have achieved the cool atmospheric effect like this.<\/p>\n

\"bleach\"<\/figure>\n

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2<\/h3>\n

Now, this is what I call 3D gameplay. Oh wait, this is cosplay. Not only did they recreate the character, they also recreated the scene!<\/p>\n

(Image Source: SupraMK86<\/a>)<\/small><\/p>\n

\"call<\/figure>\n

Diablo III \u2013 Demon Hunter<\/h3>\n

Seriously guys, why is there no Diablo movie in production? We\u2019ve got the suit and the model prepared!<\/p>\n

(Image Source: Spiral Cats)<\/small><\/p>\n

\"diablo<\/figure>\n

Diablo III \u2013 Demon Hunter<\/h3>\n

This is even more epic than any movie poster. The cosplay industry has evidently evolved into something more than just a hobby.<\/p>\n

\"diablo<\/figure>\n

Diablo III \u2013 Mistress of Pain<\/h3>\n

Spoiler alert!<\/strong><\/p>\n

My heart is full of pain because this is actually a spoiler (I haven\u2019t met this boss in the game!). But hey, this cosplay is painstakingly awesome.<\/p>\n

\"diablo<\/figure>\n

Devil May Cry \u2013 Lady<\/h3>\n

The perspective is kickass, \u2019nuff said.<\/p>\n

Final Fantasy Dissidia \u2013 Garland<\/h3>\n

I could not believe my eyes that someone could ever cosplay the Garland and actually replicate the complexity of his armor, but I forgot that the cosplay world has endless possibilities.<\/p>\n

(Image Source: hellsign<\/a>)<\/small><\/p>\n

\"final<\/figure>\n

Final Fantasy VII \u2013 Aerith<\/h3>\n

A memorable scene in Final Fantasy VII, rebuilt perfectly with a top-notch cosplayer and photographer. If there\u2019s something for me to complain about this cosplay, I will say it is too perfect.<\/p>\n

(Image Source: Arwenphoto)<\/small><\/p>\n

\"final<\/figure>\n

Final Fantasy VII AC \u2013 Cloud<\/h3>\n

This is probably the most realistic portrait of Cloud I\u2019ve ever seen within the sea of cosplay photos.<\/p>\n

\"final<\/figure>\n

Final Fantasy VII \u2013 Vincent<\/h3>\n

Giulia did a really good job portraying the Vincent Valentine. You could even sense the original character\u2019s personality by just looking at this strongly accurate cosplay.<\/p>\n

\"final<\/figure>\n

Final Fantasy VIII \u2013 Edea<\/h3>\n

Final boss of Final Fantasy VIII, who always comes and leaves mysteriously, as captured by this cosplayer. The portrayed emotion of the cosplayer is deadly vital to the cosplay\u2019s success.<\/p>\n

\"final<\/figure>\n

Final Fantasy XIII \u2013 Lightning<\/h3>\n

Not sure about the eyes, but the details of the suit and the equipments freaked me, a FFXIII fan, out!<\/p>\n

\"final<\/figure>\n

Gears of War 3 \u2013 Anya<\/h3>\n

\u201cMeagan\u2019s Anya Stroud cosplay took her six months to make. Long used her photos and the contest assets to create this gritty scene.\u201d<\/p>\n

Halo \u2013 Spartan Sniper<\/h3>\n

Another decent version of the Halo suit, the colors look nice!<\/p>\n

\"iron<\/figure>\n

Mass Effect \u2013 Garrus<\/h3>\n

The costume looks so real that this creation should not exist in mere mortal\u2019s world. It\u2019s photoshopped a bit, but the armor is completely hand-crafted!<\/p>\n

(Image Source: ammnra<\/a>)<\/small><\/p>\n

\"mass<\/figure>\n

Mass Effect \u2013 Mass O\u2019Lights<\/h3>\n

That\u2019s why I love cosplay, you got the chance to wear the coolest suit in the universe!<\/p>\n

Metroid \u2013 Samus Aran<\/h3>\n

How do you make an old school hero look insanely cool even after 25 years? It\u2019s all about the skills.<\/p>\n

Monster Hunter: Giant Bone Sword<\/h3>\n

Finally a monstrous weapon that could slay an entire dragon! Again, a salute to the photographer, brucer007, for his wicked sense of perspective.<\/p>\n

Mortal Kombat \u2013 The Demon Within<\/h3>\n

Fiery cosplay, photography<\/a> and Photoshop<\/a> skills; you wouldn\u2019t want to deal with them if they were real.<\/p>\n

(Image Source: EnvisageU)<\/small><\/p>\n

\"mortal<\/figure>\n

Pok\u00e9mon \u2013 Rocket Team<\/h3>\n

My mom lied to me, she said Pok\u00e9mon was just a game! Now I have proof!<\/p>\n

Resident Evil 3 \u2013 Jill Valentine<\/h3>\n

\u201cThis is my last chance to escape\u2026 but before that, I need to take a photo.\u201d Enough joking, a realistic shot!<\/p>\n

\"resident<\/figure>\n

Spartacus: Blood and Sand<\/h3>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve started photographing cosplayers, it\u2019s a perfect mixture of performance and portrait photography, where you can both experiment new ideas and concepts, and refine your technique in many ways.\u201d<\/p>\n

Street Fighter II \u2013 Dhalsim<\/h3>\n

I thought he was just a fictional character in the game, this photo can convince me otherwise.<\/p>\n

\"street<\/figure>\n

Team Fortress 2 \u2013 Soldier<\/h3>\n

Meet the soldier from the Team Fortress! It may look simple, compared to what you have seen so far, but you will only know how cool this cosplay is by looking at the precise similarities it shares<\/a> with the real one in the game.<\/p>\n

Vocaloid \u2013 Hatsune Miku<\/h3>\n

Reflection<\/h2>\n

Having witnessed so many cosplays throughout these years, I always think about a famous question: what makes a good cosplay?<\/em><\/p>\n

Many people agree that the cosplayer and costume are certainly vital to the cosplay\u2019s success, while some believe that the cosplay photographer could either make or break the cosplay. What do you think is the most important aspect of a successful cosplay? Have you ever cosplayed before? Or do you know of other cool cosplay works elsewhere in the web?<\/p>\n

Be proud to showcase the photos, or maybe share your precious cosplay experience in your comments. We are prepared to be impressed!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
