Transformers Cosplay(?!)


Yes, you heard that right. It’s a Transformers Cosplay. Frankly, I’m speechless. These guys really spent a lot of time and effort on their cosplays.

It’s really something else… I especially like the Optimus Prime one. I was so amazed that I thought it would be worthy to put as a double post for the day.

Enjoy!

Final Fantasy X: Yuna and Tidus

final fantasy x cosplay - yuna and tidusNow here is a scene recreation I am familiar with… I’ve never played Final Fantasy before, but I saw this scene in a game convention. The only difference between the game scene and this one is that in the game, Tidus and Yuna were in the water at night… Here, the picture was taken during the day… Probably because the water looks really, really cold right now, what more during the night?

I think Yuna’s crying more for the fact that her beautiful cosplay costume is now all wet, than the scene recreation itself. I would cry if my photographer were to tell me I needed to get my costume ruined for the sake of a shot. T_T But that is just me… And besides, this cosplay is great! Definitely one for the books!

EDIT: Thanks again to SoL for letting me know the Yuna in this picture is Shibata Ina aka “Shiba”!

Guilty Gear X: Kuradoberi Jam

guilty gear x cosplay - kuradoberi jamIf it’s hard to cosplay anime characters, I think it’s harder to cosplay game characters… Why? Because characters in video games are usually strong martial artists. This means your body needs to be toned and trimmed in order to convince the audience that you are that game character.

Kuradoberi Jam from Guilty Gear may not be a 3D rendered character, but she sure looks like it in this picture… I’ve never played Guilty Gear, but I have had a glimpse of this character from the anime Genshiken (an anime about otakus on their ventures of manga and cosplay. Interesting, no?)

Beautiful cosplay… The choice of Chinese patterned silk instead of plain fabric (same with the game’s original character design) was a good call. I wonder how she got her hair to look that way..?

Chobits: Sumomo

chobits cosplay - sumomoRemember what I said about kids cosplaying? It just gives you a warm fuzzy feeling, even if they don’t know how to pose well for the camera…

You can tell she’s having a hard time keeping her pose… Can’t blame her, I hard a hard time balancing on one foot when I was a kid too…

Wait… I’m still a “kid”… at heart? (I know it’s lame, but forgive me, I couldn’t resist because I’ve been hearing lame jokes all day…) ^^

Sumomo’s hair is suppose to pink (same with the character on the tambourine), but I wouldn’t dye kids’ hair would you? And letting them wear a wig is also hard for them, since wigs are quite hot… But nonetheless, I think this is a cute and impressive cosplay, don’t you?

Full Metal Alchemist: Edward Elric and Colonel Roy Mustang

full metal alchemist cosplay - edward ed elric and colonel roy mustangA child who wanted to revive his lost mother, and a military officer searching for answers to impossible questions.

Both characters are very arrogant, yet Edward became part of the military because of Roy, and then became the youngest State Alchemist and Full Metal Alchemist.

It was a few years ago when this anime swept the nation, and there were Roy Mustangs and Edward Elrics in anime conventions left and right. This is one of my favorite images of the two characters because of the attitude in the photo. Ed always over-reacts when he’s called “short”, and Roy is always high and mighty in the anime. These two cosplayers definitely captured the character’s personalities really well! Nice work!

Bleach: Kuchiki Rukia 02

bleach cosplay - kuchiki rukia 02Here’s a pretty famous cosplay image that’s been going around anime communities lately… Kuchiki Rukia seems to be one of the cosplay favorites in the otaku world… Some of them leave a lot to be desired while others just leave you with a feeling of awe.

Though I’m not too sure what to think of this image… There’s a bit of digital editing on this image, especially on her hair. Makes you wonder what else was edited.

Though, I’m not really complaining. She portrays the character really well, so I like it, regardless of my critique… I love her eyes… er… “eye”.

I think I will contribute this to

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi: Suzumiya Haruhi

the melancholy of suzumiya haruhi cosplay - suzumiya haruhiAnother redundant title, same with my Inuyasha entry… I find it rather amusing that the titles of the anime are the same with the character’s… Makes me wonder if they had a hard time thinking about a proper title or something…

Not that I’m complaining of course..!

I suppose the only critique I can give about this photo is… her smile… It looks a bit forced, but I’m guessing it’s because of the unnatural pose/look..?

*look in the mirror trying to smile and wink at the same time without distorting any facial muscles*

Yeah, it’s possible alright, but extremely hard to look natural. But the risky pose is worth it; I think she really captured Haruhi’s feisty nature… She looks like she’s up to something again… I wonder it’s aliens? Hm…
