New Weekly Cosplay Post!
Virtualgirl | 6:21 PM on 08.19.2007 27 comments


I swear I have a life outside of cosplay…really…I do…

Anyway, this site has tons of talented writers and tipsters, so I generally don’t clog the community blogs with articles that someone else has most likely covered, unless it is of special importance to myself. Basically what I am saying is that you guys do a good job keeping us all up to date on current issues, and I am not going to waist your time regurgitating what someone else said in my blog. Cosplay however, is something that is usually not covered regularly by dtoiders other than Pheonix-Blood and myself, so I decided it might be fun to regularly post about it!

I did not really understand cosplay before I got in to it, and I know that a ton of people think that it can not be done very well in any situation, but the more I look around the web, the more I am completely blown away by the craftsmanship and dedication that some people put in to their work, and I figured I would share it with you guys! Over the last few days I have put together a library of almost 300 images of amazing quality cosplay, and am going to post 10 or so costumes a week for you guys to see.

I picked the photos based on costume primarily, and also image quality and such. Its always nice to have a great photo in a great location to compliment an amazing costume.

If you guys have any requests for specific characters you would like to see the next week, let me know that as well! I will scour the internets to find the best cosplayers from that game or character possible! Also, if you like a specific cosplayer, and would like to see more of that one, let me know and I will dig some more!

And also, Pheonix-Blood is the sex and I will use some of her pics when I get her permission…(Pheonix, this is me asking you for your permission…haha)

So here we go, week #1:

1) Alucard and Richter Belmont
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night






2) Jo
Burst Angel




3) Chii
Chobits







4) Bubble Head Nurses with Pyramid Head
Silent Hill






5) Lei Fang (blue and ultimate versions)
Dead or Alive






6) Sophitia Alexandra and Raphael Sorel
Soul Calibur





7) Rikku
Final Fantasy X-2






8) Reika
Fatal Frame III





9) Dante
Devil May Cry




10) Fran
Final Fantasy XII






Hope you enjoyed! I will have more a week from today!

Those are some amazing outfits, to be sure. Far better than anything I could come up with -- that's why I'm stuck with this writing gig.

But hey, I figure since you're into the Cosplay stuff that you'd be interested in this little sit-down I had with Giorgia Vecchini a few months back. It may be right up your alley.

@Unstoppable: By in the middle, do you mean #5? Her name is Yaya, and I could do a whole blog on how awesome she is alone. She is kinda a Cosplay Celebrity. Here is her site info!

As for my costumes, I will post new ones as I finish them, but nothing I can do compares to these costumes!!!

We at jtor love cosplay too. We'd show you, but, well, our gallery is broken. We could definitely use some weekly cosplay posts in the future...

I like the burst Angel one (though I've never actually seen the anime). Definitely keep this thing going.

s0lesurviv0r's Destructoid Blog
I think this may be the first time I've wanted to see an Alucard X Richter fanfic. That Silent Hill stuff is great, love the little touches like varicose(sp?) veins. Awesome post Virtualgirl!
Mxyzptlk's Destructoid Blog
Those are excellent pieces of work, thar be some mighty talented weeaboos out there in Cosplayland!
Hollie Bennett's Destructoid Blog
admitidly i love yaya, but i relaly wansta fan of her DoA one, i think she has made so many better cosplay (and original works that this).

however, it all comes down to photography, end of story. every single one of those pics were taken with good camaras even if the cosplay isnt very good.

i love cosplaying, but the more you get into it, the more you will learn, it is bitchy and elitist (easily said of the uk scene).
Hollie Bennett's Destructoid Blog
woah, for my typos.
Virtualgirl's Destructoid Blog
I guess I dont know enough real cosplayers in person to know if it is elitist. I only know two people in person who cosplay! haha. If you have some costumes you want to share from other people, send them my way Pheonix!
fearian's Destructoid Blog
I think cosplay always seems to turn out either incredibly hot, sexy, and nostalgic; as shown in your post here,

or dull, horrible, and raping the memories of games you played as a kid.

thankyou for supporting cosplay that does justice to gaming heroes!! :)
Aceles's Destructoid Blog
I am absolutely head over heels for that Reika cosplay. How complex and beautiful! Could you please direct me to that woman's website or where ever you found those pictures?
