Awesome Photos - Showcase from Cosplay.com

 
I was quite daft to realize this but Cosplay.com has this section under 'Photography' called 'Showcase Photos' and it in, is just absolutely MIND. BLOWING. STUFF

Some people would argue that 'oh there's too much CG that the model doesn't look real' but the point of cosplay is it ISN'T real. And anyway, all the movies, TV, game images you see aren't real, they've all been touched up or cleverly touched up by someone! So I'm fine with it looking the way it is.
