Grinding away on that post #NewYorkComicCon crunch, but here's some more #NYCC #CosplayPhotography!

Galactus: @extremecostumes.bsky.social
Spider-Noir: @zaxiade.bsky.social
Spider-Gwen: @arorea.bsky.social
Prom Queen Silver Surfer: KailyCarps
Zombie Captain America: Maverick Warner

The photo depicts a massive Galactus cosplayer, raising both arms up in the air, as a gathered crowd within a convention center raise their smartphones up to take photos and video at the spectacle.

The costume is colored purple and blue, true to the comic book appearance of Galactus within the various pages from the comics published by Marvel Comics, specifically the Fantastic Four. Various lights glow from the gigantic, towering costume.

A dynamic photograph captures two cosplayers portraying Spider-Man Noir and Spider-Gwen from Marvel Comics, posing in action stances against a sleek metallic wall backdrop. The composition emphasizes motion and contrast, with both characters crouched low as if preparing to leap into battle. Spider-Man Noir, on the left, wears an all-black costume consisting of a trench coat, tactical pants, gloves, and boots. His mask is dark and textured, with large white lenses that create a striking contrast against the matte black fabric. A wide-brimmed fedora completes the noir-inspired aesthetic, enhancing the detective-era silhouette. His pose is aggressive and forward-leaning, one arm extended outward as though about to shoot a web, creating a strong sense of momentum.

Beside him, Spider-Gwen stands in a complementary stance, her body slightly twisted to mirror his dynamic energy. Her full-body suit is sleek and form-fitting, predominantly white with black and magenta accents. The hood, lined in vivid red with a web pattern, is pulled over her head, framing the smooth white mask with pink eye outlines that give her a stylized and modern appearance. The red web design continues along the inner sleeves, contrasting against the cool tones of the rest of the costume.

The photograph is sharply focused, capturing the fine details of the fabrics and accessories, while the neutral metallic background enhances the bold color contrast between the two costumes. The lighting is soft and diffused, evenly illuminating both characters without harsh shadows, giving the image a polished, cinematic quality. The overall composition conveys a strong sense of partnership and readiness, embodying the heroic, comic-book energy of the Spider-Verse.

A high-resolution photograph showcasing a reimagining of the Silver Surfer character from Marvel Comics as a glamorous prom queen titled “Miss Herald.” The cosplayer’s appearance is rendered in striking metallic silver tones, from the body paint covering her skin to the reflective materials of her costume, while infusing it with a pageant-inspired aesthetic. Her face and exposed skin are evenly coated in smooth silver paint, highlighted with shimmer that catches the light, giving a luminous, almost ethereal glow. Her long, wavy hair, also silver, flows down her shoulders, blending seamlessly into the monochromatic theme.

She wears a corseted bodice made of mirrored or metallic fabric, structured and glossy, reflecting the ambient light of the convention space. The lower part of the outfit continues in a silver, floor-length skirt with subtle draping that mimics both the elegance of a formal gown and the fluid, otherworldly aesthetic associated with the cosmic character. Across her torso is a white satin sash that reads “MISS HERALD” in bold black letters, referencing the Silver Surfer’s role as a herald of Galactus while humorously adapting it to the context of a beauty pageant.

Completing the look is a pair of long, silver gloves that extend up her arms, maintaining the seamless metallic texture. She holds a large bouquet wrapped in matte black paper, with silver roses crafted from metallic material, adding a contrast that enhances the polished theme. Atop her head rests a geometric silver crown composed of angular, reflective shapes, evoking futuristic or celestial motifs rather than traditional pageant tiaras.

The setting is a brightly lit convention hall, with natural and artificial light sources reflecting off her costume, creating dynamic highlights and emphasizing the chrome-like finish. The background is slightly blurred, filled with attendees and bustling activity, allowing the cosplayer’s luminous presence to stand out as the focal point.

A photograph depicting a detailed and gruesome zombified Captain America cosplayer inspired by the Marvel Zombies series, standing in a convention hall, surrounded by a blurred crowd, under bright indoor lighting that accentuates the grimy textures and decayed details of the costume. The cosplayer’s appearance is a haunting reinterpretation of Captain America, blending the patriotic uniform with horrific, undead elements.

The armor and suit are tattered, darkened with layers of fake blood, dirt, and burn marks. The once-bright red, white, and blue colors are muted to desaturated, rusted tones of maroon, brown, and gray-blue, with cracks and gory textures across the chest and limbs. The iconic star emblem on the chest is faded and partially smeared, evoking a battle-worn, corrupted version of the hero’s symbol. His helmet is cracked, revealing a grotesque, zombified face beneath - the exposed teeth and hollow, decaying flesh are painted with meticulous realism, featuring deep shadows, reddish wounds, and darkened eye sockets that give a menacing undead stare.

In his right hand, the cosplayer holds Captain America’s iconic shield, distressed with scratches, dents, and a blood-spattered surface that retains faint traces of the star and circular design. In his left hand, he raises a macabre improvised weapon - a long spear-like staff constructed from a metal pole adorned with grim details. Attached to it are multiple sculpted heads and weathered street signs, including rusted “ONE WAY” and “DEAD END” signs, splattered with dark stains to heighten the apocalyptic tone. At the top of the staff sits the severed, zombified head of Spider-Man, complete with tattered mask remnants, hollow eyes, and exposed, gruesome features, crafted to appear shockingly lifelike.
