A fresh wave of high-end cosplay arrives, spotlighting iconic characters from popular games and animation. Among them is the muscular Juri Khan from Street Fighter, the audacious Alisa Dvachevskaya from Endless Summer, Cyberpunk 2077’s Johnny Silverhand companion Cyberpunk 2077, and the striking heroines Babel and Yae Miko from Genshin Impact. The lineup blends dynamic characterization with bold visual styling, inviting fans to explore the artistry behind each rendition.
Alisa Dvachevskaya from Endless Summer by Alice01
Endless Summer is a widely acclaimed visual novel from Russia, set at a summer camp where the main character Semyon can engage with several camp residents. Alisa Dvachevskaya stands out as a rule-breaker who enjoys pushing boundaries, such as slipping away to the beach without permission. The portrayal by Alice01 captures her rebellious spirit and sun-soaked confidence, adding a tangible texture to the character’s presence.
Additional note:
Tim, a photographer with VGTimes, long sought the chance to shoot Alisa Dvachevskaya but faced obstacles. Even without participating in Endless Summer at the time, a version of this shoot came together when friends and supporters helped secure a swimsuit and the necessary wardrobe. The project evolved into a playful picnic and beach scene, echoing the Owlet camp setting from the game. The resulting set offered viewers a chance to feel like Semyon in a carefree moment, complete with companionship and lighthearted games. The full set later circulated freely within the creator network, gaining significant audience traction as a gift to fans. The complete edition can be found through the creator’s channels.

The transition to Juri Khan from Street Fighter adds another bold, action-forward persona to her portfolio, emphasizing dynamic posing and fierce energy.
