Cosplay Evolved
This was the next level of Cosplay, featuring 8 finalists who had to submit a Youtube video for pre-selection. On the stage itself, they screened the video followed by a skit and then the best bit for last, posing.
First Place
Plantman from Megaman
My personal favourite and an obvious audience favourite – this costume took 4-5 months to create with the canon actually made out of camping mats.
Second Place
Clayton Carmine from Gears of War
Third Place
Flemeth from Dragon Age 2
The armour is made out of foam, while the costume features real leather it took about one and a half months to create.
Here are the other finalists for the Cosplay Evolved Competition…
Zombie from The Walking Dead
Deadpool from Marvel Comics
Drake and Elena from Uncharted featuring Nurse Joker from The Dark Knight
Zelda from Legend of Zelda
The 2013 EB Expo will be held October 4-6 at Sydney Olympic Park - see you there!
