This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen! Eric Testroete works in the video game industry as an artist. He used 3D technology to scan his head and make a giant head mask for Halloween.
It’s made out of paper. 61 pound matte paper, to be exact. Incredible!
I made this as my costume for Halloween 2009. It was kind of inspired by big-head mode seen in videogames. I really wanted to get the faceted geosphere look with wireframe.
Isn’t this some of the best Zelda cosplay you’ve ever seen? It’s so perfect.
This is famous cosplayer Lillyxandra, who has a gallery of a million awesome costumes on her site.
I knew I wanted to be Princess Zelda when I played the original Legend of Zelda game back on Nintendo in 1987…it took me 18 years but i finaly got around to it. The illustrator Yusuke Nakano did’nt hold back when drawing the new designs for Princess Zelda. The designs are saturated in details for these grown up classic characters. I was feeling ambitious and decided to try and replicate the design. I had the honor of posing with the best Link cosplayer Pikminlink in some of these photos.
The lovely and talented Courtney Coombs sent me a great tip about this new live action Assassin’s Creed short movie.
This was made by Ubisoft as part of a viral marketing campaign for Assassin’s Creed 2. Part One is 15 minutes long, and we should expect Part Two to show up on Youtube very soon.
So cool! Here’s what Courtney has to say about the costumes in this movie:
The part that stands out the most are the costumes, gorgeous choices of fabrics, authentic styles, although with the HD it’s clear that it’s machine sewn. But that’s just me being scrutinous.
Well put, Courtney. You have a great eye, I don’t think I would have noticed the machine sewing. This is awesome. Now I want to see this turned into a full blown theatrical movie. Thanks for sending this in!
Popular gamer web series The Guild has a new episode up on MSN. It’s a special Halloween episode where the gang gets to do real life “looting,” otherwise known as Trick or Treating.
It’s a fun episode. I like how Tinkerballa just runs around creating mischief, and simply says, “Trick” when the people open their door.
You can watch the video on MSN.com, or you can download the episode using your Xbox Live account.

I have a real treat for you today. Jonathon Rosenthal, Head Organizer of The Group That Shall Not Be Named, the NYC Harry Potter Meetup, gave me a heads up about their impressive, possibly supernatural Harry Potter cosplay.
Over 30 members converged upon Governors Island for an amazing photo shoot with their official photographer, Ken Kohut.
These are just a handful of the photos. To view the entire gallery in hi-resolution, be sure to visit Ken Kohut’s official website.
A big thanks to Jonathan for emailing me. Great job!
Oh dear. Here’s a clip from the reality TV show Repo Man. I’ve never watched the show, but I imagine it’s about a repo team as they go around bullying people and taking their stuff.
In this clip, a group of costumed LARPers do battle in character as the Repo Man tries to take their Prius.
It’s funny, but man. I think I hate that Repo guy. What a bully. That is no way to treat a princess.
Check out this group of DragonCon cosplayers paying tribute to Felicia Day’s The Guild. Compare them to the publicity photo below – don’t they look amazing!
Meanwhile, on the other side of the country at PAX in Seattle, Sandeep Parikh found more Guild cosplayers. Very excellent work!
Nice Codex costume! This cosplayer was spotted at the recent Fan Expo in Toronto. She did a great job.
Here’s a photo of Felicia Day as Codex, for comparison.
If you missed the big debut of “Date My Avatar” last week, I’ve posted it below. But first, check out the exciting reaction from fans at Comic Con, who got to see the video before anyone else. This would have been such a fun panel to attend!
