Talking about Mega Man cosplay, you know what's kinda surprising? That nobody has ever dressed up their dog as Rush. I would totally want to do that. But also I'm sure you're probably not allowed to bring a dog into most conventions and stuff. Also it's not recommended to jump on a real dog because they don't actually have springs or rocket boosters inside them.

She makes it difficult for me to be objective on her cosplay.

I follow her on facebook and I got to see the before pictures.... One second....even though in posting I don't have to disclose that I take a moment to search for something... :)

https://www.facebook.com/TashaCosplay/
So that's her facebook page.

Here is her post with the before and after shots and some other various stuff. Obviously I can not read that.

The Photographer used other models and various objects, with a like color to the background, so that they could be easily digitally edited out and enhance the wardrobe that the cosplayer designed and made.

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

Good lighting, professional quality costume construction, a model that fits the "mold" and just a touch of photoshop. produces the best things this fandom can achieve.

Now, with the objective piece of me having had its say.

Knowing the cosplayer, I wonder how much of that outfit is her and how much is padding, in strategic locations.

Do some cosplay teams get payed for this stuff, because I'm not seeing where the money could be coming from. Not to say that getting payed is the only reason for putting in many man-hours into something.

You forgot the fat otaku that makes the costume and acts as a stepping stool/harness for the model. Very important.

She isn't a public figure fam. Unless she is a Senator or a military officer she is a private citizen.

If you can't comprehend why following your favorite sexy cosplayer on facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, or Instagram to get the latest pic is creepy. Then what about sharing everything you know down from location of shooting, where she lives, the Photographer, and all irrelevant bullshit on an Internet forum where there is a extremely chance that some nerd will jerkoff to it? That isn't creepy?

I guess call me old fashioned, but I think you need to take a long look at your life you if seriously don't think what you posted isn't creepy in the slightest.

The page is for her entity as a cosplayer or whatever. Assuming she maintains it herself she literally set the page as a "Public Figures" page.

I guess because I was naive. I tend to think of cosplay as mostly amatuer for the most part. Sorry I'm not a 100% rational critic of artistic endeavours.

Actually, looking through the page, it looks like she was the hired model to introduce Tracer for HotS at the regionals recently? If so, that makes a lot of sense and means yes, she got paid for it. Still awesome.

But, yeah, I've never been a fan of photoshopped poses, but that's the photojournalist in me. Still one of the best Tracers yet. Her and Soe should duke it out for the top spot.

Posed cosplay photos are being photoshopped more and more often with .... mixed .... results









:wtc:

I can see why many of them do it (especially to add effects and backgrounds) but I'm really not a fan, if they're going to alter the photos so radically then they might as well just photoshop the model's face onto an actual picture of the character and have done with it.

Edit: do a GIS for 'cosplay before and after' for hundreds more examples
