A Baldur’s Gate 3 fan shared an impressive Orin cosplay, capturing the breakout character’s gorgeous and ominous demeanor.

Baldur’s Gate 3‘s deep and fascinating characters bring the Sword Coast to life with their stories and personalities. Outside that, though, they simply boast some excellent designs.

Already, cosplayers are taking inspiration from Larian Studios’ massive RPG, with even some of the game’s voice actors getting in on the fun.

However, one of the best looks so far is inspired by a character you may not expect: the villainous Orin the Red.

Baldur’s Gate 3 cosplayer kills as Orin the Red

Reddit user buffmiffy shared the stunning Orin look, which is made all the more impressive by the fact that it is their first time making a cosplay from scratch. buffmiffy credits YouTube tutorials with helping them with the project.

The cosplay nails Orin’s iconic red outfit, along with her long blonde braid, solid white eyes, and various accessories. The makeup also brings to life the distinct skin details along the changeling’s face, arms, and chest.

As for the dagger, buffmiffy says that was 3D printed with the stone “edited in,” as it was missing from the STL file.

The cosplayer’s hard work certainly paid off, as the Baldur’s Gate 3 community seems quite impressed with the look’s strong attention to detail.

“This is probably the coolest BG3 cosplay I’ve seen yet! And I’m shocked that this is your first time. You did amazing!” said one commenter.

Another took it a step further, literally offering themself to Orin saying, “Yeah, just go ahead and take me as your sacrifice.”

As for Baldur’s Gate 3, it was just nominated for eight Game Awards including Game of the Year. Between that and the highly-anticipated Xbox port still planned for this year, Larian’s RPG shows no signs of stopping – which is promising for those who hope for even more impressive fan works like this Orin cosplay.

A cosplay shared by graciethecosplaylass is merging Black Cat and Venom together in one terrifying costume with bite.

Pretty much everyone gets a symbiote in Marvel Comics these days. The days of there only being a handful of symbiotes are long behind us, as a bevy of symbiotes and hosts populate the universe.

This also means there are more opportunities than ever for fans to cherry-pick their favorite symbiote character. Be it reading comics, picking up games, or creating fan art, there are so many options to choose from now.

For cosplayers, the possibilities are all but endless. One cosplayer has now shown off an exciting – and terrifying – take on one of Spider-Man’s closest allies and greatest villains united.

Venomized Black Cat cosplay is stunning – and toothy

In a post shared on her Instagram, cosplayer Gracie McClung is showing off her venomized Black Cat. It’s a stunning cosplay that has some teeth to it.

No, there are literally teeth. Dozens of handmade teeth adorn the arms and chest of the costume, making up elements that are typically fur on the Black Cat costume. In a reel shared to her page, Gracie showed off the painstaking process of making each tooth, consisting of triangles being cut, warped and formed under heat.

The rest of the cosplay is incredibly detailed, a black body suit with the classic black suit logo and the trademark white veins that modern Venom incarnations don. A simple domino mask with a similar Venom flourish caps off the outfit.

There is a comic basis for the suit, though it’s not canon to the story. The design is based on an Ariel Diaz variant cover for 2022’s The Amazing Spider-Man #29. Black Cat does wind up wearing the Venom symbiote on Earth-258, as seen in Extreme Venomverse #2, where she bonds with the symbiote after Spider-Man separates from it in the original story.

Black Cat also gets a symbiote in the 2008 video game Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, where she’s a potential endgame partner for Spider-Man, should players choose to go the evil route.

A Dune cosplayer is going viral by recreating one of the sequel’s most iconic sandworm scenes inside of an AMC theater.

Dune 2 has taken the movie world by storm with critics and fans alike hailing Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s legendary science-fiction series.

One fan loved the movie so much he ended up bringing the scene where Paul Atreides first rides a mammoth sandworm to life to the theater in an incredible cosplay spectacle.

In a series of videos going viral across TikTok, user ‘redprintsrising’ took control of a sandworm while dressed in Fremen attire and ventured into an AMC cinema, much to the amazement of moviegoers.

Dune cosplayer literally rides sandworm into AMC

In one video, the cosplayer is filmed from an overhead perspective riding on a OneWheel Pint that easily resembles a sandworm from Dune, albeit much smaller.

After going from outside of the theater with ease, the cosplayer managed to get his sandworm inside the theater, further impressing cinema fans.

The man showed off his skills further by navigating the area without crashing, clearly having complete mastery of the worm as he steered it into the theater’s hallway and even the concession area.

Of course, fans in attendance couldn’t help but begin taking photos and filming the spectacle and users online were equally as stunned by the stunt.

“Stilgar would be sh**ting his pants watching this,” one fan said, referencing Javier Bardem’s character.

“The ONLY way to enter into Dune part 2,” another commented.

“Drake let him borrow,” another joked.

Hopefully, this isn’t the last we end up seeing of redprintsrising’s sandworm, especially if Dune Messiah gets greenlit to wrap up Denis Villeneuve’s trilogy.

A Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End cosplayer leapt into action to extinguish a fire after a blaze broke out at a shopping mall in Vietnam.

Cosplayers aren’t exactly the type of people you’d expect to take action in serious situations, but one man is challenging those conceptions.

On January 25, a cosplayer named Tuấn Dũng was dressed up as Himmel from Frieren for an event at a shopping mall.

Suddenly, a stage light reportedly overheated, starting a fire. Luckily, Dũng wasted no time and took swift action, even before the event staff or mall personnel could.

In footage posted to social media and shared by the Himmel cosplayer, Dũng grabbed a fire extinguisher and proceeded to put out the blaze.

Video shows the cosplayer aiming the fire extinguisher at the burning light and letting rip as others watched in amazement. He then started helping shoppers and attendees by moving their carts out of the area.

On Facebook, he explained the situation and why he took action writing, “Near the stage, there was a fire near the spotlights. Seeing this, I applied my fire safety knowledge to handle the situation and prevent the fire from spreading.”

“This shows that everyone needs knowledge of fire safety to be able to handle unexpected situations like this.”

Fans were impressed with the cosplayer’s skills as the footage spread across anime communities.

“Himmel would do the same,” one top commenter said.

“It’s paramount that if you cosplay Himmel, you must act heroic,” another chimed in.

This is a welcome change from some other viral cosplayer incidents that have happened lately. Last year, cosplay influencer Kit Noel was arrested after allegedly threatening to plant a bomb at a Texas anime convention during a feud over an energy drink brand.

In another wild incident, police officers in Melbourne rushed to a shopping center after reports of a knife-wielding man turned out to be a Demon Slayer fan in cosplay.

A cosplayer in Toronto was handcuffed and detained after walking through a park for a cosplay event with a replica rifle.

Toronto was hosting its first Anime Connects Cherry Blossom Picnic at Trinity-Bellwoods Park on May 3, with many cosplayers showing up for the event.

Things got out of hand quickly, however, when a man dressed as a mercenary from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series showed up in full tactical gear and a replica rifle.

Footage quickly went viral, with numerous police showing up and their sirens blaring after receiving calls that someone was roaming the area with a firearm.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R cosplayer sparks panic in Toronto park

Video shared by journalist Caryma Sa’d and others showed the police approaching the cosplayer, who quickly surrendered and cooperated.

After being told to get on his knees, the cops took the man to the ground, handcuffed him, and escorted him to a police cruiser.

According to people in the park, the cosplayer had been warned not to carry a replica rifle, but ignored their concerns. Still, many voiced displeasure with the overwhelming police presence.

“Poor guy,” one said. “This is insane. All for a friggin’ costume.”

Luckily, the authorities were understanding and the man was released without charges, even shaking hands with the police sergeant in the aftermath.

Speaking to the Toronto Sun, the cosplayer said, “I have been cosplaying in Toronto with similar setups for five years with absolutely no issues, so you can see why I felt comfortable coming out to the event. I’ve even gone to similar events in that exact park in the past.”

“There were other cosplayers with life-like weapons and equipment too, so it is not out of the ordinary, and there were some present that day aside from myself.”

The cosplayer further noted that while he typically has bright orange tape on his weapons, he momentarily took it off for a picture, and that’s when the police arrived.

Cosplays have caused major police reactions before. Last August, a 16-year-old Resident Evil cosplayer in the UK was taken in by police after being mistaken for a criminal due to carrying an imitation firearm.

Across the globe in Australia, officers in Melbourne rushed to a shopping center after reports of a knife-wielding man turned out to be a Demon Slayer fan in cosplay.
