Whether you're into cosplay or not, there's no denying how impressive some of the costumes can be - particularly how much work goes into 'em. Well, Bashiok recently posted about some great costumes from the recent West China International Cartoon Culture Festival that were inspired by Blizzard's games. Just take a look at this Witch Doctor from Diablo 3 for example:

Almost looks like a sculpted action figure rather than a real person, eh? Seriously impressive stuff. Be sure to head on over to China's Duowan site to see all of the other costumes in the gallery. The site is in Chinese, but you shouldn't have a problem navigating through all three pages of images. The Starcraft Terran and Protoss costumes are pretty amazing.

Check it out!

So do we have anybody here who participates in the cosplay stuff that takes place at BlizzCon each year? If so, what are you planning on dressing up as?

I have a new found urge to play a With Doctor!

I'm still looking up cosplay trying to figure out what it is. But I've always been into how the female witch doctor looks. I love the masks. So cool.

Very Impressive! I have never felt the drive to dress in a thong and Tiki mask, thank God. but I fully support it in this instance.

[BlueShrunkenHead]

Oh my god that is amazing! The detail is exquisite, on all of them! I wish I could make costumes that good.

HEY there is one more Diablo related costume! Mistress of Pain!!!

It also amazes me how good they are with relatively nothing to gauge the characters from since we only have a few concept art works and some in-game shots. A great job :D

[Talic's Demise]

Ok the costumes are amazing, that lady of pain one especially. Would i look like a total nerd dressing up in a Blizzard World Event like this? Yes but I could care less if the costumes were this good O_o. If they can pull that off imagine a barbarian costume U_u.

I believe there is one that is also a barbarian male, if I'm not mistaken. ^_^

Very sexy indeed! :P That Mistress of Pain is really good! It looks like nothing is impossible today!

I don't think it's wrong, she looks hot.

[dunhac82]

These were all very cool, but I think WD looks amazing. I mean, she seriously does look like a life sized statue of the concept art. Very awesome!

[PhrozenDragon]

This is just sick. I have no idea how they manage to create these things, but it looks awesome.

Do they make this for a living? :P

[KonataX]

lol i was thinking more of a diablo in a huge suit with a corny zipper on the back xD

cosplay for the win =3

ya some ppl are just crazy and can create that stuff with your everyday tools =3

i dont cosplay or really even wanna since it looks too annoying to make a costume xD

[Jigsaw]
