We’ve talked about a lot of topics in Cosplay Closet. From how to pose, to your make-up, to challenging your skills.

Your armour should be war-torn and your sword dented and scraped. […]

I am an advocate for cosplay equality. Cosplay equality emcompases everything, ability, age, gender, race and size but with the Irish con season in full-swing, I’ve noticed the same problem popping up and it’s not just isolated to Ireland – cosplay and size.

Favourite time of the year for us here at the Arcade and so it’s only fitting that this Sunday’s cosplay gallery is dedicated to the best evil, twisted and horrible villains out there (and yes I am aware Ghost Rider isn’t a villain …but Nicholas Cage…enough said!)!
