Leia Radna : The past year was very difficult for all spheres of human life – and for cosplay, of course, including. In March, we had to abandon all public events and switch to rare online festivals and stream marathons-and for obvious reasons they used a very small part of the fandom. Of course, cosplay exists not only within the framework of festivals, but also in the process of creating costumes, as well as in the format of photo and video sections, but, nevertheless, it is large contests and events that act as the best motivators to create new ones (and especially complex) images.
In the same year, most cosplayers had to express their work only through filming. Many began to try new formats and platforms: for example, in Tiktok and on Twitch cosplayers, it has become noticeably larger.
Well, of course, in terms of photo content, life in this area continued to boil with might and main, without reducing the speed. And if you look back at the entire volume of photosetes over the past year, they can easily be divided into three conditional categories.
Past
A lot of cosplayers in 2020 turned to the characters that are well -known and beloved by us since childhood. Like you, for example, such a nostalgic choice of a character from Ksenia Nadarova? Learn the majestic and brave Katarina Grifonhart, the legal queen of Erafia?
But the beautiful Anna Shakhovskaya chose an even more rare heroine – meet the Julie from the old adult cartoon called Heavy Metal. Moreover, the girl prepared two versions of this character at once and at the same time made Julie's costume from the game Heavy Metal: Fakk.
In 2019, Mikhalych Nazarov pleased us with a cosplay on Duke Nyukem himself, and in 2020, thanks to Kirill Podskrykin, another hero of old-school shooters gained a new life. You learned the steep Sam – a hero from those times when, as you know, the trees were higher and the grass is greener?
At the same time, Olga Haku returned us with her cosplay on Ellen Ripley, the main character of the movie series "Stranger".
Another legendary movie hero in our heading is the chosen AKA Neo performed by Yakov Vasiliev. By the way, shooting the fourth part "Matrices" It ended not so long ago, and next year we will be able to find out the continuation of his history.
But perhaps the prize for the most old -school photoset last year is clearly leaving the company of brave musketeers. Pavel Kurolesov chose the role of d’Artagnan for himself, Sergey Sergeyev acted as Athos, and Evgenia Kozlov in the image of Milady.
But on game and movie characters, the retro-wave does not end. Kristina Volkova and Svetlana Yuryeva decisively continue the theme of nostalgia in the images of Lena and Julia, the soloist of the group t.A.T.u.
And of course, for animated and comic heroes there was also a place here. Anna Bulatova chose the image of Bannie's sexual lila – Bagz Bannie's lover from the series Looney tunes.
And the charming Ekaterina Semadeni has embodied the image of a female cinema woman from a film version "Batman" From Tim Burton.
Real
With a brief review of nostalgic images, we finished today – it is time to move on to the characters of our days. And it is worth starting with your own choice: you know which of our issues of cosplay collected a record number of views in 2020? The record holds the release for July 20, on the cover of which there was an ALINA Becker in the image of Tifa Lockhart.
And here one could argue: they say, how, typhus appeared back in 1997! Yes, but, firstly, in that photoset Alina performs in the modern "fan-service" image. And secondly, it is this character that can be awarded to the title “Hyip 2020”. Thanks to https://prive-gb-casino.co.uk/ the remake Final Fantasy VII The popularity of the heroine increased incredibly – for example, her versions from Alexandra Reil and Kristina Volkova.
But with such a brutal cosplay and a non -banal choice of a character we are pleased with Christine Macca with her feminization Doom Eternal.
Another example of the actual and brutal cosplay you see from a married couple from Germany: Maul Cosplay and his wife Maja Felicitas have prepared incredibly detailed and high -quality costumes of the male and female version of Aivor from Aivor Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
If they ask me, which photoset was the sexiest for the whole last year, then without a shadow of doubt, I will say that this is the shooting with Octokuro in the role of Allison Carter and Anya Erlstram in the image of Lisa Williams from comics SUNSTONE.
But I really want to give the prize in the conditional nomination “One to one” to Timofeus Hanzhin in the role of Ramsey Bolton. Do not be too lazy to go to his page and evaluate the similarity yourself: on the avatar on the social network, Ivan Reon himself is standing nearby, playing the role of a daring bastard from "Games of Thrones". But on the photosket, Timofey was composed by Sergey Amethyst in the role of John Snow and Anna Pavlenko with Mila Pototskaya as sisters Stark.
Another stunningly executed cosplay of anti -Hero from television screens is a patriot from the series "Boys" performed by Artyom Spivachenko.
Despite the fact that this year we lost most festivals and events due to the epidemic, the annual Grammir and Comic Con Russia still passed, but online. And the organizers managed to preserve their large-scale cosplay contest in this format.
The winners were a wonderful three cosplayers: Christina Rivian with her amazingly detailed Ela from Horizon Zero Dawn , Dima Koshelev with his magnificent cosplay on the Mandalor, as well as Angela Dmitrieva, who took the Grand Prix due to her cosplay on Tina from the series Borderlands.
Future
Well, now it's time to go to the world of the future. This year (however, not without reputation losses for Poles from CD Projekt Red ) We finally waited for the release Cyberpunk 2077. And of course, to the release of such a game, it was worth expecting a huge influx of excellent cosplay. For example, recently we have already shared with you a photo of Darina Rarog in the role of VI, but let's recall about him again. By the way, the girl starred with a motorcycle, not just for beauty: she in life very actively travels on two -wheeled vehicles.
A pleasant addition to this shooting was the atmospheric video from Dmitriy Korkynov.
But such a magnificent photoset with Alexander Kuzmenkov in the role of Royce and Katerina Knyazeva in the image of Vi perfectly conveys the atmosphere of the game.
Another foreign guest in our issue is the Taryn Cosplay Italian with his surprisingly attendant cosplay on Johnny Silly Sul Vyser and a funny Geralt option in the style of Cyberpan.
And, of course, you can’t talk about the cosplay on the “cyberpank” and not to recall the chic Anna Molieva with her directly heroic cosplay on singer Lizzy Weazzi. Not only did Anna become one of the finalists and winners of the cosplay contest from CD Projekt Red, and for a record time, she prepared several different versions of this character at once.
And, of course, let's remember all the other finalists of this large -scale competition. It is gratifying to see how actively the Polish studio supports fans of their work and develops a cosplay-direction, setting an example for many other large companies.
On this, our big overview of the cosplay for 2020 is coming to an end – and it remains only with all my heart to wish that next year no new cataclysms occur and our life and work return to a stable direction. All health!
