Some more #CosplayPhotography from New York Comic Con!

Catching up on my NYCC photo queue after finishing up photos from the Saturday Marvel Rivals cosplay meet-up!

Maelle: @makermage.bsky.social
Ciri: PpandorasBoxx
Baroness: @paralllaxus.bsky.social
Poison Ivy: CharlotteW1tch
A high-resolution photograph taken at a convention center shows a cosplayer portraying Maelle from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The setting is a bright, modern indoor space with polished gray floors, glass railings, and a crowd of attendees in the background. The cosplayer stands in a dynamic pose, holding a long ornate sword pointed toward the camera, with her body slightly turned and her other arm extended backward in a poised, combative stance. Her expression is intense and focused, matching the dramatic action-oriented posture. She wears a detailed costume composed of a fitted black military-style jacket with structured shoulders, trimmed in white and gold embroidery, and decorated with elaborate golden patterns on the right shoulder piece. The jacket features purple and black panels, vertical white piping, and a high collar, evoking a regal yet practical adventurer’s design. A pair of dark fitted pants, accented with a white thigh strap and a brown leg belt, complements the top. She wears high black leather boots that reach above the knee, emphasizing both style and function. The belt around her waist includes metallic accents and small chains, enhancing the costume’s ornate look. Her red hair is styled in a short, layered cut with a slight wave, and she wears natural but defined makeup that accentuates her eyes. The lighting in the scene is diffuse and natural, coming from the overhead glass structure, casting even illumination that enhances the fabric textures and metallic highlights on her costume and weapon. The background, slightly out of focus, helps emphasize the cosplayer as the central figure, creating a vivid, lifelike portrait of a character brought to life with precision and craftsmanship. A high-resolution photograph of a cosplayer portraying Ciri from The Witcher series, captured in a dramatic and realistic style. The composition centers the figure from the waist up, with the background showing an urban outdoor setting slightly out of focus, allowing the intricate costume details to dominate the frame. The cosplayer strikes a confident pose, holding a sword over her shoulder with one hand while gazing directly into the camera with a calm but fierce expression that embodies Ciri’s strength and determination. The costume is a highly detailed recreation of Ciri’s battle attire, featuring layered fabrics and leather armor. A hooded cloak with a dark brown fur lining frames her face and drapes over her shoulders. Beneath it, a quilted gray gambeson is reinforced with brown leather straps and belts, each fitted with metal buckles and rivets, creating a rugged, handcrafted aesthetic. The white undershirt, partially open at the collar, adds a touch of softness while revealing a silver wolf medallion resting against her chest - a key symbol of her Witcher heritage. Her long, platinum-white hair is styled in a thick braid that falls over one shoulder, with a few loose strands framing her face. The makeup is subtle but precise, emphasizing her natural features with light contouring and pale tones that complement her striking hair color. A faint scar is visible on her cheek, enhancing the authenticity of the portrayal. The sword, a distinctive part of Ciri’s character, has a metallic finish and is held confidently, the grip positioned behind her head as if ready for battle. The lighting is natural and diffused, casting soft shadows that highlight the textures of the costume - the roughness of leather, the sheen of metal, and the matte quality of the fabric. The overall mood is intense and immersive, evoking the gritty realism and fantasy atmosphere of The Witcher universe while showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and character embodiment. A high-quality photograph captures a cosplayer portraying the Baroness from G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, posed against a neutral beige concrete wall. The lighting is warm with subtle colored reflections- green, yellow, and magenta - highlighting the glossy textures of the costume and creating a striking, cinematic effect. The cosplayer stands in a confident pose, looking slightly to the side, one hand raised near her face, conveying a composed yet commanding demeanor that aligns with the character’s persona. She wears a tight, black, high-gloss latex bodysuit that reflects light in smooth gradients, emphasizing the suit’s sleek and armored aesthetic. The bodysuit features red cobra insignias on the chest and forearm, standing out vividly against the black material. The chest and torso areas include sculpted paneling that gives the costume a reinforced, tactical appearance, further detailed with small black straps and buckles that cinch around the waist and sides. Around her waist is a black utility belt with a metallic buckle shaped like the Cobra logo, contributing to the militaristic design. Her long, wavy black hair cascades over her shoulders, contrasting with the bright reflections on the latex. She wears rectangular glasses, a signature element of the Baroness character, and her makeup includes dark eyeliner, mascara, and soft red lipstick that complement the overall dark palette while maintaining a sense of refinement. The lighting softly grazes her features, enhancing the reflective surfaces of the outfit and giving depth to the photograph. The overall composition emphasizes both the realism and stylized power of the character, making the cosplay appear both authentic and visually cinematic. A high-quality photograph of a cosplayer dressed as Poison Ivy from the movie Batman & Robin. The image captures the subject from the knees up, set against a neutral concrete background that enhances the vivid colors of the costume. The cosplayer is posed blowing a kiss toward the camera, adding a playful and seductive energy to the composition, characteristic of the character’s persona. The costume consists of a fitted, light green bodysuit with long sleeves, transitioning into deep green gloves that reach past the elbows. The lower half features tight, shiny green leggings with a glittering waistband, accentuated by a large decorative leaf placed at the waistline. The outfit incorporates leaf motifs throughout, reinforcing the botanical theme central to Poison Ivy’s design. The cosplayer’s hair is a striking shade of deep red with bright crimson highlights, styled into two large, twisted horn-like buns on top while the rest flows down over the shoulders. The makeup is elaborate, with golden leaf-like adornments framing the eyes and shimmering gold and green tones accentuating the eyelids. Red lipstick completes the look, matching the hair and contributing to the bold, seductive aesthetic. Lighting is soft and even, creating gentle shadows that emphasize the glossy textures of the costume and the metallic gleam of the makeup. The photograph’s overall color palette is dominated by shades of green, red, and gold, echoing the natural yet dangerous allure associated with Poison Ivy. The composition is well-balanced, with the subject centered and the background slightly blurred, keeping full attention on the detailed costume and expressive pose.

Non-Cosplay related, but...

My replacement hands came in today, so I was FINALLY able to finish my customized Masterpiece unarmored Delta Magnus, aka Powered Convoy, from the Transformers and Diaclone toy lines by Hasbro and Takara.

I was tempted to cave and eventually pick up the TFC Toys Seacons set, as I had given up hope on ever seeing MP-scale figures.

Happy to finally see Craftsman Toys taking up the task of giving us Masterpiece-scale Seacons from Transformers!

Liking the style so far, even if it's not 100% accurate.

Grinding away on that post #NewYorkComicCon crunch, but here's some more #NYCC #CosplayPhotography!

Galactus: @extremecostumes.bsky.social
Spider-Noir: @zaxiade.bsky.social
Spider-Gwen: @arorea.bsky.social
Prom Queen Silver Surfer: KailyCarps
Zombie Captain America: Maverick Warner
The photo depicts a massive Galactus cosplayer, raising both arms up in the air, as a gathered crowd within a convention center raise their smartphones up to take photos and video at the spectacle. The costume is colored purple and blue, true to the comic book appearance of Galactus within the various pages from the comics published by Marvel Comics, specifically the Fantastic Four. Various lights glow from the gigantic, towering costume. A dynamic photograph captures two cosplayers portraying Spider-Man Noir and Spider-Gwen from Marvel Comics, posing in action stances against a sleek metallic wall backdrop. The composition emphasizes motion and contrast, with both characters crouched low as if preparing to leap into battle. Spider-Man Noir, on the left, wears an all-black costume consisting of a trench coat, tactical pants, gloves, and boots. His mask is dark and textured, with large white lenses that create a striking contrast against the matte black fabric. A wide-brimmed fedora completes the noir-inspired aesthetic, enhancing the detective-era silhouette. His pose is aggressive and forward-leaning, one arm extended outward as though about to shoot a web, creating a strong sense of momentum. Beside him, Spider-Gwen stands in a complementary stance, her body slightly twisted to mirror his dynamic energy. Her full-body suit is sleek and form-fitting, predominantly white with black and magenta accents. The hood, lined in vivid red with a web pattern, is pulled over her head, framing the smooth white mask with pink eye outlines that give her a stylized and modern appearance. The red web design continues along the inner sleeves, contrasting against the cool tones of the rest of the costume. The photograph is sharply focused, capturing the fine details of the fabrics and accessories, while the neutral metallic background enhances the bold color contrast between the two costumes. The lighting is soft and diffused, evenly illuminating both characters without harsh shadows, giving the image a polished, cinematic quality. The overall composition conveys a strong sense of partnership and readiness, embodying the heroic, comic-book energy of the Spider-Verse. A high-resolution photograph showcasing a reimagining of the Silver Surfer character from Marvel Comics as a glamorous prom queen titled “Miss Herald.” The cosplayer’s appearance is rendered in striking metallic silver tones, from the body paint covering her skin to the reflective materials of her costume, while infusing it with a pageant-inspired aesthetic. Her face and exposed skin are evenly coated in smooth silver paint, highlighted with shimmer that catches the light, giving a luminous, almost ethereal glow. Her long, wavy hair, also silver, flows down her shoulders, blending seamlessly into the monochromatic theme. She wears a corseted bodice made of mirrored or metallic fabric, structured and glossy, reflecting the ambient light of the convention space. The lower part of the outfit continues in a silver, floor-length skirt with subtle draping that mimics both the elegance of a formal gown and the fluid, otherworldly aesthetic associated with the cosmic character. Across her torso is a white satin sash that reads “MISS HERALD” in bold black letters, referencing the Silver Surfer’s role as a herald of Galactus while humorously adapting it to the context of a beauty pageant. Completing the look is a pair of long, silver gloves that extend up her arms, maintaining the seamless metallic texture. She holds a large bouquet wrapped in matte black paper, with silver roses crafted from metallic material, adding a contrast that enhances the polished theme. Atop her head rests a geometric silver crown composed of angular, reflective shapes, evoking futuristic or celestial motifs rather than traditional pageant tiaras. The setting is a brightly lit convention hall, with natural and artificial light sources reflecting off her costume, creating dynamic highlights and emphasizing the chrome-like finish. The background is slightly blurred, filled with attendees and bustling activity, allowing the cosplayer’s luminous presence to stand out as the focal point. A photograph depicting a detailed and gruesome zombified Captain America cosplayer inspired by the Marvel Zombies series, standing in a convention hall, surrounded by a blurred crowd, under bright indoor lighting that accentuates the grimy textures and decayed details of the costume. The cosplayer’s appearance is a haunting reinterpretation of Captain America, blending the patriotic uniform with horrific, undead elements. The armor and suit are tattered, darkened with layers of fake blood, dirt, and burn marks. The once-bright red, white, and blue colors are muted to desaturated, rusted tones of maroon, brown, and gray-blue, with cracks and gory textures across the chest and limbs. The iconic star emblem on the chest is faded and partially smeared, evoking a battle-worn, corrupted version of the hero’s symbol. His helmet is cracked, revealing a grotesque, zombified face beneath - the exposed teeth and hollow, decaying flesh are painted with meticulous realism, featuring deep shadows, reddish wounds, and darkened eye sockets that give a menacing undead stare. In his right hand, the cosplayer holds Captain America’s iconic shield, distressed with scratches, dents, and a blood-spattered surface that retains faint traces of the star and circular design. In his left hand, he raises a macabre improvised weapon - a long spear-like staff constructed from a metal pole adorned with grim details. Attached to it are multiple sculpted heads and weathered street signs, including rusted “ONE WAY” and “DEAD END” signs, splattered with dark stains to heighten the apocalyptic tone. At the top of the staff sits the severed, zombified head of Spider-Man, complete with tattered mask remnants, hollow eyes, and exposed, gruesome features, crafted to appear shockingly lifelike.

In the middle of my NYCC cosplay photographer's con crunch now, LOL! Some photography from this past weekend's New York Comic Con!

TRON Programs: Sam Mathias & Alex Villatoro
Black Cat: @abbyandrew.bsky.social
The Mask/Stanley Ipkiss: @tjcoolness.bsky.social
Sonic the Hedgehog: LemonPencil
A high-resolution photograph of two cosplayers dressed in futuristic, Tron-inspired armor, standing in a neon-lit environment that glows with vibrant purples, blues, and pinks. The setting features geometric light panels and a neon sign behind them that reinforces the cyberpunk aesthetic. Both cosplayers wear elaborate armored suits with illuminated edges, mechanical detailing, and sleek, high-tech designs that evoke the visual language of a digital or virtual world. The cosplayer on the left wears a primarily white armor set with angular plates covering the shoulders, arms, and legs, all edged with vivid purple-white LED light strips. Their helmet features pointed ear-like extensions and a translucent visor integrated with glowing circuitry. The armor reveals their midriff, adding a contrast between organic and mechanical elements. Their stance is dynamic, with one leg bent forward and fists raised as if ready for action, the body posture exuding confidence and energy under the ultraviolet light. The cosplayer on the right wears a darker, metallic suit with deep black and violet tones accented by similar bright neon lines tracing the contours of the armor. Their costume includes shoulder plates, gauntlets, and greaves, all designed with intricate futuristic symbols and segmented textures that give the impression of an advanced exosuit. They stand with one hip slightly tilted, a hand resting on the hip, and the other arm bent back in a sleek, assertive pose. The overall scene glows with an electric intensity, the LED elements casting luminous reflections across the shiny surfaces of the armor and the floor. The lighting design and reflective materials create a three-dimensional, immersive effect that enhances the illusion of being inside a digital or cybernetic environment. The image conveys a powerful sense of sci-fi fantasy, blending high fashion, robotics, and neon aesthetics into a striking, cinematic composition. A high-resolution cosplay photograph capturing a cosplayer dressed as Black Cat from Marvel Comics’ Spider-Man series. The image is taken in a warmly lit indoor environment, likely at a convention, with golden sunlight streaming in and casting soft highlights across the subject’s face and costume. The cosplayer wears a sleek, form-fitting black leather catsuit with a glossy sheen that reflects the light, emphasizing the smooth texture of the material. The suit features white faux-fur trim around the collar and cuffs, contrasting sharply against the dark outfit. A black corset with metallic grommets cinches the waist, enhancing the character’s silhouette and adding an element of elegance and strength. Her long, platinum-blonde wig flows past her shoulders, styled in loose waves that catch the light. She wears a black, cat-shaped mask with a matte finish that frames her eyes and adds a mysterious allure. Her makeup is subtle yet refined, with soft pink lips and highlighted cheekbones that glow under the warm sunlight. The pose is confident and flirtatious - one gloved hand resting on her hip while the other touches her face delicately, evoking the seductive and self-assured personality of the Black Cat character. The background is softly blurred, featuring other convention attendees and warm tones that complement the golden-hour lighting. The overall composition emphasizes the cosplayer’s poise and costume details, creating a cinematic, three-dimensional look with vivid contrast between the shimmering blacks and luminous whites. The image captures both the glamour and danger associated with Black Cat’s persona, showcasing high photographic quality, dynamic lighting, and a professional, editorial aesthetic. A high-resolution photograph taken at a convention shows a cosplayer dressed as Stanley Ipkiss from The Mask comic book series and film adaptation. The individual stands in a playful pose, balancing on one leg with the other bent back, simulating a running pose, while grinning widely while holding a white drawstring money bag emblazoned with a large black dollar sign. Peeking out of the bag is a small plush toy, adding a humorous touch to the composition. The costume is instantly recognizable: a bright yellow zoot suit with exaggerated lapels, wide-legged trousers, and a matching fedora hat adorned with a tall, black-and-yellow striped feather. Under the jacket, the cosplayer wears a crisp white shirt and a black-and-white polka-dotted tie that complements a matching pocket square neatly tucked into the breast pocket. The face is painted a vivid green, replicating the signature look of the character when transformed by the magical mask, with expressive makeup highlighting the eyes and mouth to emphasize a cartoonish, mischievous expression. The photograph captures this figure in sharp focus against a softly blurred background of a bustling convention hall, where other attendees and colorful posters fill the space with energy and movement. The lighting is natural and even, illuminating the glossy yellow of the suit and the bright green of the face paint, producing a polished and vibrant visual effect. The overall scene evokes a sense of animated exuberance, humor, and nostalgia, perfectly channeling the over-the-top, comic-inspired charm of The Mask. A high-resolution photograph captures a dynamic gijinka cosplay of Sonic the Hedgehog, the iconic character from the self-titled video game series. The cosplayer is crouched low in a running stance, evoking the character’s speed and energy, with one hand touching the reflective floor and the other raised forward. The costume features a vivid electric-blue wig styled into long, voluminous spikes resembling Sonic’s quills, complete with small blue and black ears protruding from the top. The outfit consists of a blue athletic-style jumpsuit paired with a white collar and white knitted arm warmers that mimic Sonic’s gloves. The cosplayer wears bright red sneakers with white laces and soles, matching Sonic’s trademark shoes from the game. The lighting in the photo is bright and natural, streaming from an overhead source and casting soft reflections on the glossy floor, enhancing the vivid blue tones of the costume and the texture of the wig. The background is slightly blurred, depicting a bustling convention setting with other attendees in costumes, creating a lively atmosphere that emphasizes the subject’s central position. The overall composition highlights movement, energy, and character embodiment, while the crisp focus on the cosplayer and their expressive pose conveys both playfulness and confidence.

Cosplayer: Yogiiwaifu

#CosplayPhotography
A dynamic cosplay photograph of a cosplayer portraying Rumi from KPop Demon Hunters. The cosplayer wears a sleek, fitted white outfit consisting of a sleeveless crop top and high-waisted shorts, accessorized with a delicate gold chain belt that drapes elegantly across the hip. Her look is accentuated by striking purple body markings painted onto her arms and face, glowing against her light skin and enhancing the mystical, battle-ready aesthetic of the character. Her hair is styled in a vivid lavender updo, matching the vibrant, oversized sword she carries over her shoulder. The sword is a standout feature: an exaggerated, fantasy-style weapon with a gradient blade that shifts from pastel pink to electric blue, with subtle designs etched into its surface and a gold, ornate hilt that adds a regal touch. The weapon’s scale and brilliant colors create a powerful visual contrast against her otherwise minimalistic white costume. The cosplayer’s makeup is bold yet refined, with sharply defined eyeliner and neutral lips, highlighting her confident expression as she looks over her shoulder toward the camera. She exudes poise and strength, embodying the fierce personality of Rumi. The background is bustling with convention activity, showing a wide hall with bright banners, glass architecture, and numerous attendees in various costumes. The lighting is natural and even, streaming in from the glass walls and ceiling, which enhances the vibrancy of the purple and pink tones in the costume. The photograph is sharp and well-composed, capturing not only the details of the costume and prop but also the commanding presence of the cosplayer within a lively convention atmosphere.

Character: Maka Albarn
Cosplayer: QTPie Cosplay

Series: Marvel Comics | Avengers
Character: Black Widow
Cosplayer: @cosplay-tory.bsky.social
A photograph of a Vega cosplayer from Capcom’s Street Fighter series captures the character’s signature elegance and menace with striking accuracy. The cosplayer is posed dramatically, holding a white mask close to his face while glaring toward the camera, evoking Vega’s mysterious and flamboyant persona. Prominently featured are Vega’s trademark claw weapons, three long metallic blades extending outward from a golden handguard strapped to his right hand, enhancing the dangerous aura of the character. The costume consists of loose-fitting purple pants with a yellow stripe running down the side, tied at the waist with a bright red sash that drapes naturally, adding movement and contrast to the darker tones. His upper body is bare, showcasing muscular definition, with purple diagonal markings painted across the chest and shoulder to replicate the fighter’s design. Golden accessories complete the look: a twisted armlet around the bicep and an ornate wrist cuff with engraved patterns, both glinting under the venue lights. The cosplayer’s long, curly hair is left loose, framing his face and enhancing the theatrical presence that Vega is known for. The background shows a bustling convention hall, slightly blurred to keep the attention focused on the cosplayer, though the reflections on the polished floor and the presence of other attendees add context to the setting. The lighting is bright and even, illuminating the details of the costume, mask, and claw, while also highlighting the cosplayer’s strong expression and physicality. The overall photograph conveys Vega’s duality of grace and lethality with vivid authenticity. A photograph of a Maka Albarn cosplayer from the anime series Soul Eater captured outdoors in strong golden-hour sunlight, which highlights the character’s distinct appearance and details of the costume. The cosplayer is dressed in a black long-tailed coat with white cuffs and a white collared shirt underneath, worn loosely with one side of the shirt untucked for a casual, battle-ready effect. A green striped tie, partially undone and asymmetrically knotted, hangs around the neck, paired with a yellow vest underneath, adding layered textures to the outfit. The lower half of the costume features a red plaid pleated skirt, characteristic of Maka’s school uniform design, with the bright red tones strongly contrasting against the dark coat and the green foliage in the background. The cosplayer’s hair is styled in two messy pigtails, echoing Maka’s signature look, with strands falling across the forehead, catching the warm light. In her hands, she holds a large scythe prop, easily identifiable as Soul in weapon form, painted black with jagged red patterns running along the blade and a stylized eye design near the base. The scythe’s exaggerated size and bold colors make it the focal point of the composition, leaning diagonally across her body and down toward the ground. Black combat boots complete the look, grounding the costume in a practical yet striking style. The background consists of lush green bushes and plants, contrasting with the dark and vibrant colors of the cosplay, while the low sunlight creates strong shadows across the cosplayer’s face and clothing, emphasizing dimensionality and drama. The overall photograph captures the essence of Maka Albarn with accuracy, balancing a realistic portrayal with the dramatic flair of anime styling, and is of high quality, with sharp focus and vibrant tones. A photograph of a Black Widow cosplayer from Marvel Comics shows a striking and dynamic pose, captured with a strong sense of intensity. The cosplayer stands in a sleek, form-fitting bodysuit patterned with subtle swirling black textures that add depth to the costume, emphasizing the character’s stealth and tactical nature. The suit features bold red accents, including a large stylized spider emblem across the chest made of reflective material that catches the light, giving it a metallic sheen. A belt of oversized, glossy red discs encircles the waist, echoing the comic-inspired design of Black Widow’s gear. Matching red wrist cuffs with raised segments enhance the costume’s combat-ready aesthetic, reinforcing the balance between elegance and lethality. The cosplayer wears a vibrant, straight red wig with full bangs, the bright tone of the hair contrasting vividly against the dark costume and creating an eye-catching visual. Her makeup is sharp and defined, with pale skin, dark lipstick, and piercing green eyes that add intensity to her expression. She holds a black handgun extended directly toward the camera, creating a sense of immediacy and confrontation, while her other hand rests on her hip in a confident, commanding stance. The background is slightly out of focus, featuring a neutral-toned architectural corridor with smooth walls and a polished floor, which draws full attention to the cosplayer. The soft blur of the environment contrasts with the crisp detail of the costume, hair, and weapon, emphasizing her as the focal point. The lighting is even and diffuse, highlighting the reflective red elements of the outfit while maintaining the stealthy look of the dark bodysuit. The overall photograph conveys both the dangerous allure and the determined presence of Black Widow, captured with cinematic clarity and precision.

"That reason is as compelling as rat shit in the bathroom, and it will be your demise."

Series: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Character: Dio Brando
Cosplayer: @zaxiade.bsky.social

#AnimeNYC #CosplayPhotography
A cosplayer dressed as Dio Brando from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is captured in a dynamic and exaggerated pose that mirrors the flamboyant energy of the character. The costume is striking and immediately recognizable, consisting of a shiny golden-yellow outfit with a fitted black undershirt that emphasizes contrast and highlights the bold color palette iconic to Dio. The pants and jacket are crafted from a satin-like fabric that reflects sunlight, giving the costume a dramatic sheen. Green accents are carefully incorporated throughout the outfit: a bright metallic green belt with a heart-shaped buckle at the center, straps hanging from the waist, and knee guards shaped like hearts, all of which enhance the visual vibrancy of the design. The footwear consists of metallic gold boots that match the glossy tone of the pants and further emphasize the luxurious, powerful aesthetic of the character. The cosplayer wears a striking blond wig styled into voluminous, spiky hair, with a bright green headband tied across the forehead, which helps frame the face and completes Dio’s distinctive look. The makeup is subtle yet effective, with dark eyebrows, carefully done eyeliner, and contact lenses that make the eyes appear more intense, adding to the character’s menacing charisma. The pose is particularly expressive, with the cosplayer leaning backward in a dramatic stance, chest forward, arms outstretched, and one hand clutching a set of throwing knives, a weapon closely associated with Dio. This theatrical gesture conveys a sense of arrogance, confidence, and over-the-top flamboyance, which are key traits of the villain. The bright sunlight enhances the gleaming textures of the fabric and metallic details, casting sharp shadows that highlight the bold angles of the pose. The setting appears to be outdoors in an urban environment, near an escalator, though the focus remains on the costume and the performer’s larger-than-life presence.

#CosplayPhotography
This photo captures a cosplayer portraying Ryuko Matoi from the anime Kill la Kill, standing confidently in a convention hall with sunlight dramatically streaming behind her. She wears the iconic Senketsu outfit, a bold and revealing battle uniform designed with a mix of futuristic and school-uniform aesthetics. The costume is primarily black with glossy, almost leather-like material, contrasted by vibrant red and yellow details. Its exaggerated collar juts outward with sharp edges, framing her upper body, while the cropped design leaves her midriff exposed. Red straps crisscross over her torso, adding to the daring and stylized look. Her short, jagged black wig with bright red highlights perfectly matches Ryuko’s recognizable hairstyle, styled to flare outward and frame her face with a rebellious flair. In her hands, she grips the massive red Scissor Blade, an oversized weapon that is both menacing and striking in appearance. The prop glows under the light, drawing the viewer’s attention as it extends downward toward the floor, giving her stance extra power and presence. Her lower half is outfitted with the continuation of the glossy battle uniform, including thigh-high boots integrated into the costume’s design, complete with sharp red trim and black details that echo the top half of her outfit. The boots are paired with towering red platform heels, adding height and intensity to her look. The cosplayer’s pose - feet apart, hands resting on the Scissor Blade, and gaze locked directly at the camera - captures Ryuko’s fierce, determined, and defiant personality. The background is a bustling convention space, filled with blurred figures of other attendees, yet the combination of her vibrant costume, the glowing sunlight, and her commanding pose makes her stand out dramatically in the frame. This shot not only highlights the intricate craftsmanship of the cosplay but also channels the fiery energy and attitude that defines Ryuko Matoi.

September 11th, 2001 - Never forget the tragedy in New York City, as well as the Pentagon and Flight 93 in Pennsylvania, as al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners.
A nightime photo of the exhibit, Tribute In Lights, dedicated to the horrific terrorist attack on September 11th, 2001 - two beams of bright light shine up into the night sky of the Manhattan skyline, as the remains of wood pylons, from an long-removed promenade, stand in the water of the East River, irsing out of the water like individual towers.

This photograph captures a cosplayer dressed as Rouge the Bat from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. The character’s signature look is recreated with striking accuracy. The cosplayer wears a fitted bodysuit featuring a bright pink, heart-shaped chest piece trimmed with white fur, which stands out against the sleek, black material of the lower costume. Extending from the back are a pair of vivid purple bat wings, textured to resemble leathery membranes, enhancing the fantasy aesthetic of the character. Long, white gloves with pink cuffs accentuate the arms, adding to the elegant yet bold design. The cosplayer’s wig is a bright white styled in soft waves, adorned with large bat-like ears lined with orange, echoing Rouge’s animalistic features. Complementing the outfit, the makeup is vibrant, with teal eyeshadow and long lashes that highlight the eyes, paired with a bright, welcoming smile that conveys the character’s confident, playful personality. The metallic, horizontal panel backdrop provides a sleek, futuristic setting that matches the video game-inspired theme.

A trio of Neon Genesis Evangelion cosplayers at Anime NYC!
Just in time for the upcoming 30th Anniversary for the series!

#CosplayPhotography
A vivid photograph captures three cosplayers portraying Rei Ayanami, Asuka Langley Soryu, and Misato Katsuragi from Neon Genesis Evangelion, standing together in a convention hall flooded with natural light streaming through a large glass-paneled wall. Each cosplayer embodies their character with distinct styling, costuming, and attitude, creating a striking group composition. The three cosplayers are arranged in a triangular composition that emphasizes their differences while uniting them as an ensemble. The natural light highlights the reflective textures of their costumes, particularly the glossy surfaces of Rei’s and Asuka’s suits, while casting subtle shadows on the polished floor beneath them. The background of steel framework and glass adds to the futuristic, industrial atmosphere that complements the Evangelion theme. The overall effect is bold, theatrical, and true to the spirit of the characters, bringing their dynamic presence into a real-world setting.

Attended Anime NYC this past weekend, and my body felt demolished, LOL! Did some rest and recovery, while back to work, and doing some more painting to my Double Punch custom for my Transformers collection.

The paint's been a bitch to work out with the glow-in-the-dark, but we getting there!
The photo shows glow-in-the-dark paint applied to a knock-off toy figure of the Transformers Decepticon Headmaster, Scorponok. The only light are the glowing pieces that are painted - gun turrets, pinchers, and knee pieces - while the rest of the figure is unseen, lost in the darkness.

"Jinkies!"

It's Monday!

Series: Scooby Doo
Character: Velma Dinkley
Cosplayer: @candyxneko.bsky.social

#CosplayPhotography
The photo captures a stylish and clever reinterpretation of Velma Dinkley from Scooby-Doo, reimagined in a vibrant swimsuit cosplay set within the lively atmosphere of Kalahari Resorts waterpark. The cosplayer stands confidently in shallow pool water, framed by the themed architecture and signage of the venue in the background. She wears an eye-catching orange monokini that features a plunging neckline, side cut-outs, and crisscrossing straps around the torso, maintaining the classic Velma color scheme in a modern swimwear silhouette. A red sarong tied around her hips replaces Velma's usual skirt, preserving the character’s iconic orange-red palette while adapting it for a swim-ready look. Her short, straight, dark auburn wig with blunt bangs mirrors Velma’s traditional hairstyle, and her thick-rimmed black glasses unmistakably reinforce the character’s nerdy charm. A magnifying glass held up toward the camera draws immediate focus, emphasizing Velma’s role as the intellectual detective of the Mystery Inc. gang. The cosplayer’s makeup is clean and natural, and a navel piercing adds a personalized, edgy detail to the ensemble. The entire scene is brightly lit, and the overall mood feels playful yet composed—true to Velma’s inquisitive nature.

Some cosplay from this past Saturday's #AniTomo, held in Japan Village, in the neighborhood of Sunset Park's, Industrial City area, out in Brooklyn.

Toy Chica: ThePrizeCorner
Pinkie Pie: RainyKeroppi

#CosplayPhotography
In this image, the two cosplayers bring gijinka-style interpretations of Toy Chica from Five Nights at Freddy's and Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The cosplayer representing Toy Chica stands confidently with a bold pose that matches the energy of her character. Her bright yellow wig is styled with dramatic volume and a slight forward sweep, capturing the essence of Toy Chica’s playful yet intense expression. She wears a cropped white tank top that reads “Let’s Party!” in colorful letters, a direct nod to the animatronic’s bib, surrounded by confetti-style sprinkles that enhance the festive mood. Her pink animal-print mini shorts are decorated with two studded belts and a black waistband with silver rivets, giving her look a punk-infused edge. Her yellow tights are torn in large, symmetrical ovals, and are paired with exaggeratedly fluffy yellow leg warmers that mimic animatronic legs or perhaps suggest feathers. Accessories like kandi bracelets, studded wristbands, and neon fishnet fingerless gloves in pink and orange cover her arms, contributing to an overload of vibrant visual texture. Standing beside her, the Pinkie Pie cosplayer exudes bubbly, carefree energy. Her long, voluminous hot pink wig falls in thick curls down her shoulders and back, topped with star and bow accessories that play into Pinkie’s party-loving personality. Her outfit includes a baby blue cropped vest worn over a light pink or white fitted top, tucked into bubblegum pink cargo-style shorts held up with a white belt. Her legs are clad in pale pink tights, and she wears scrunched cream-colored leg warmers over classic white high-top sneakers, giving her a retro, cozy aesthetic that meshes well with her overall cheerful vibe. Her her playful hand gesture near her face reflects the character’s habit of posing dramatically or whimsically at any opportunity. Together, these gijinka cosplays are a blend of street fashion, character design, and playful performance.

"You both keep assuming that I want out, whatever that is.
If it’s such a wonderful place out there,
why are you all clamoring to get in here?"

Series: Westworld
Character: Dolores Abernathy
Cosplayer: Susan Coffey

#CosplayPhotography
This cosplay portrait offers a striking and intimate depiction of Dolores Abernathy, embodying her poised strength and quiet determination. The subject is kneeling gracefully, holding a brown cowboy hat close to her chest with one hand while gazing directly at the camera with a composed, piercing expression. Her costume reflects Dolores’s recognizable early-series attire: a striped button-down shirt tucked into beige riding trousers, cinched with a rugged brown belt that supports a leather gun holster - housing a visibly classic revolver at her side. A soft blue floral bandana is tied around her neck, complementing her long, styled golden-blonde hair that curls gently over her shoulders. The setting appears urban but subdued, with sleek concrete benches and tufts of ornamental grass, creating a clean contrast that accentuates the Western attire and character. A warm, subtle light glow flares into the corner of the image, enhancing the cinematic tone and giving the portrait a quiet sense of narrative depth - suggestive of Dolores on the verge of choice or confrontation.

[Transformers: Super God MasterForce, the rebirth of the Decepticon Headmaster, Scorponok]
An action figure, Black Zarak, from the Transformers anime series, Super God Master Force. The action figure is standing atop a white step ladder at the top step, a gold-spiked tail rising behind it, over its head. It's right arm is raised towards the camera, the hand replaced by a robotic, scorpion-like pincer as purple light glows from within, reflected on the pincer's tips. The left arm is raised and angled close to its body, a golden shield attached to the pincer claw, as if in a defensive position.
