ColossalCon was held earlier this month in Sandusky, Ohio, and it’s easily one of the best cosplay shows of the year. Not only is it a regular con, but outside are some idyllic grasslands, and inside the resort is a pool.

And what better way to cosplay for a show called ColossalCon than by recreating the boss roster of Shadow of the Colossus.”]
That means cosplayers are free to tackle massive projects such as the Shadow of the Colossus shoot we featured last week, but to also then hit the pool in custom costumes tailored just for the summer weather.
Mineralblu was there taking shots and video for us, and you can see some highlights below. First up is a video showcasing some of the best cosplay on display:

Chun Li cosplay image *drool*.
I’d buy that for a dollar.
It looks like he photoshopped her right arm though (repositioning the lower arm?).
The elbow just looks a bit off.
Is cosplay now just an excuse to show some skin?
Do you go to the beach and say:
“Why are all these people wearing bathers and showing skin! Are these people just using the beach as an excuse to show some skin!”
It’s not just this, it’s cosplay in general. I mean, I’m no prude. I love to see some skin. But it gets old quick, when it’s all about showing tits and ass as opposed to the hard work required to make some of the costumes.
Then recognise those kinds of people, Praise them.
You get into dark territory when to start saying what kind of cosplay is and isnt allowed. Cosplay is about anyone being able to do it no matter the skill.
As the saying goes, If you dont have something nice to say, Dont say it at all.
When did I say it’s “not allowed”?
go up to a cosplayer.
Tell them they are showing too much skin
How do you think they will take it?
They will either get defensive and tell you to piss off
or
They will be in shock, remember it, and decide that it’s not worth cosplaying because that one time, someone said something negative, not critiquing, just mean.
I get what you mean, a lot of cosplayers like to show skin. It’s an easy way to get attention with less effort (or more, depending of their exercise regime!) but there’s still a lot that don’t show skin, they just don’t get their photo taken as often =P
