Osric Chau Rocks Some Stars and Stripes in an Amazing Captain America Cosplay!
You probably know and love Osric Chau from his work on Supernatural - but did you know he's also given his talents to the wonderful world of cosplay? At the recent VegasCon 2016, a Las Vegas convention celebrating all things Supernatural, Chau unveiled this fantastic work of cosplay love for another beloved icon, Marvel's Captain America. Images courtesy of Stardust and Melancholy Photography, and we are all grateful for their existence... because just look at them.

Once upon a Time... There Was an Amazing Disney/Star Wars Crossover Cosplay Shoot You Won't Want to Miss!
Fandom mashups have become pretty popular online. Can't really go far without getting hit with a "what if ___ met ____?" scenario or piece of art - and there's a reason for that. People love combining their favorite stories in their minds, taking familiar characters and putting them in new and exciting settings and wondering what might happen. In this case... a galaxy far, far away.

The Dead King Lives Again... As A Walking Work Of Undead Art!
You might remember makeup and prosthetics effects artist Josef Rarach from my past feature on his steampunk-esque undead creation, the clockwork-covered Zombie King. Last time, Rarach rocked the streets of Prague in a previous ZombieWalk, a huge convention and parade for talented undead cosplay, makeup and prosthetic artists.

This Mass Effect Cosplay Is Out Of This World!
I know, that title pun was an obvious reach, even for me - but I think I get a pass this time. Because like the rest of the world (or galaxy), I've had space on the brain for the past couple weeks. I know you know what I mean, come on - fine. Star Wars. I mean Star Wars, do I even have to say it? But while of course we're gonna keep rocking in a galaxy far, far away until the suns goes down, when I see a piece of fan-made awesome, especially from another long-time spacey favorite, I gotta share it, even if it's not what's making the planets go 'round. Good art is good art, regardless of fandom. But when it fits the sci-fi theme, that works out pretty nicely too.

Creative Cosplayer Feature: Ryoko-Demon
Now here's something neat. I've seen a lot of cosplay in my day, and I have to say, this artist, who goes by Ryoko-Demon on deviantART and facebook, is one of the best I've ever found. The hardest part of writing this article was picking images from her gallery - there are so many, and they're all wonderful! (Maybe a Part 2 will show up in the future!)

Donald Glover Is Spiderman...And So Is This Epic Miles Morales Cosplayer!
The internet is buzzing about the recent (and completely awesome) confirmation of Donald Glover as the voice of Spiderman incarnation Miles Morales on animated series Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors. It's about darn time, and while there's already been a bunch of great coverage about this on Moviepilot and tons of other places, I'm doing what I do best and focusing on the fans. Their reactions and initiatives are important and often brilliant - and that's what we get here in a gorgeous cosplay modeled by Nikolas A. Draper-Ivey.

This Amazing Spider-Man Cosplay Marriage Proposal Will Melt Your Heart
The second year of Titan Con held at Cal State Fullerton kicked off at the end of April and it was even bigger than last year. A lot of great cosplayers and photographers came out for the free event. Seeing a lot of nerds dressed up probably confused some of the students there who didn't know what was happening, but that's okay.

I Photograph Superhero Cosplayers, Here's Why Gwenom Is So Much Tougher To Shoot Than Spider-Man
I shoot Spider-Man cosplayers a lot. I’m willing to admit that it’s become my bread and butter when it comes to cosplay photography over the past year. There’s just something fun and charismatic about Spider-Man and the overall Spider-Verse to me. Spidey poses tend to be more dramatic than typical superhero poses, with someone just standing there looking steadfast and heroic.

What I Learned From Photographing Hyper Dedicated Spider-Man Cosplayers
In an effort do more adventurous things with my life, I started going to cons again this year. To say that it's been an interesting experience is a severe understatement. I've learned a lot of things along the way and have met some rather interesting people. One thing that stuck out to me, of course, is how insane the cosplay scenes have gotten.

This Tarzan and Jane Cosplay Will Absolutely Blow You Away
There have been a lot of really fantastic cosplays popping up lately. I even took a minute to feverishly rant about one recently. My social media feeds have been awash with fantastic stuff and that's always exciting. I have a mountain of appreciation for cosplayers, especially when they absolutely nail it. What really caught my eye this time around was this great Tarzan and Jane cosplay done by Lonstermash and Joanna Lynn, respectively. Alexander Skarsgård and Margot Robbie are cool and all, but these two should probably be in their own live action adaption, too.

From Overwatch to Titans: Meet Evey Dantès, Cosplayer Extraordinaire
A lot of scary stuff comes from Australia. It's a country seemingly built for the sole purpose attempting to murder the people that have the stones to live there. It's not all doom and gloom though, cool stuff comes out of Australia, too. Did you know they invented the electronic pacemaker? That has nothing to do with this article, I just thought it was an interesting fact. Another awesome thing to come out of Australia is Evey Dantès aka Dantès Inferno. This twenty-four-year-old cosplayer/model has racked up 87k likes on her FB page so far and with good reason. She's very good at what she does. With that in mind, here are five of my favorite cosplays by Evey (in no particular order).
