Yennefer from The Witcher 3 by Saint Hysteria

Saint Hysteria repeatedly revisits the image of Yen, delivering a faithful rendition of the black-haired sorceress in a canonical outfit.

Smiling Octopus from Metal Gear Solid 4: Phantom Pain by Olga Haku

The Metal Gear Solid universe is filled with unusual bosses that surprise even long-time players. Psycho Mantis remains a fan favorite for bending the rules, while Laughing Octopus in MGS4 presents a striking, enigmatic figure. This cosplay was crafted by Olga Haku, bringing the optical-suit character to life with energy and flair.

The inspiration for this octopus-themed look grew from a new familiarity with the MGS world. The cosplayer started with curiosity about the character and its costume, then found a design that resonated deeply. A dependable friend creates exquisite latex outfits, enabling bold interpretations that feel both authentic and imaginative. The result is a striking portrayal of a little-known heroine who steals the spotlight.

Black Cat from Marvel Comics by Ira Sokol

The seductive thief Felicia Hardy is a beloved staple of cosplay, with a dedicated following. This week Ira Sokol brings the Black Cat to life, demonstrating that even the most delicate heists can go off-script in compelling ways.

The concept of presenting Felicia during a botched robbery came after an on-set accident damaged the costume, turning misfortune into a vivid storytelling moment that felt deeply emotional and authentic.

Harley Quinn of the second Suicide Squad by Sethraylis
