"I loved making this costume despite the bruises, blisters, and blood. It seems I say this after completing every project, but this is hands-down my favorite cosplay to date."

"This is my current and best work to date(if you ask me). It is all scratch built from the ground up out of eva foam."

Vehicles: Gears of War 3 Custom Trike

Gears of War 3 Custom Trike by Paul, Jr. Designs

This custom made Trike, which was commissioned a few years ago for the release of Gears of War 3 recently made it’s way home to the offices of Epic Games.  The trike had previously been on display at the Microsoft Campus in Redmond, Washington.   Made by Paul, Jr. Designs, this one of a kind vehicle sports one wicked paint job designed to look like the in-game armor, fake chain-gun attachments and the game’s iconic skull COG design shaped into the wheels of the trike’s back tires.

  

Tribute: Gears of War

Alright. I created a new category called "Tributes" because I didn't know what else to call this.  It's clearly not a character from the actual game, but it's cosplay-adjacent...

"Illiara stenciled a Gears of War cog on her red pants and had a Lancer. We decided to get some cool shots of it in an old stadium. These are the results."

My latest version of my Anya costume! I am so much happier with the new changes! I love this costume so much I doubt I'll ever stop making improvements on it. The costume was a long process but one that I'd dreamt of making since artwork of the character was first revealed! Having worked on the game only made it that much more special.

Props: Gears of War Riffle

Life sized Lancer Assault Rifle from Gears of War This amazing life-sized Gears of Wars Lancer assault rifle is constructed entirely of Legos by PLUM B. The rifle features a clip-fed firing mechanism that shoots rubber bands and the chainsaw teeth actually move. The rubber band mechanism has multiple modes: select fire, semi-auto, full auto, and safety. It might not be any help against the Locust horde, but it would be freaking awesome during a LARP. Make sure you check out the video below. Via: BrothersBrick

Check out Meagan Marie's interview with CNN, Meet Megan: Assassin, psychopath, cosplayer. In it, she talks a bit about cosplay culture. "When you put on one of these costumes it is literally instantaneously empowering. It’s such a high."

Meagan Marie also posted a tutorial for her Gears of War cosplay, in case you'd like one of these costumes, too..
