Adda White from the first The Witcher, illustrated by Katerina Lyra

Geralt first encounters Adda in the Witcher book saga. He rescues her from a curse that turned her into a striga, a perilous creature that threatened nearby people. Years later, during the events of the first game in the series, Adda appears as a seductive figure with whom players can share an affair. Her cosplay is by Katerina Lira.

Adda is the woman in the red dress that fans adore. Her crown, lace-up boots, and vivid red hair make a lasting impression. It’s easy to see why many fans were drawn to her image.

Panty and Stocking from Panty & Stocking with Garters by XenyaMorph and Alice01

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt is an anime series that ran from 2010 to 2011. It follows two angels who were expelled from heaven for mischief and must perform good deeds to return. The image of Truska was brought to life by XenyaMorph, while Chulko was portrayed by Alice01.

Hot bonus:

I first discovered Panty & Stocking while in college. It’s a wild blend of chaos, humor, bold art, and striking girls. I fell for Truska’s daring look and personality. I even crafted her costume years ago, and when a sequel teased a renewed shoot, I wanted to realize that cosplay dream again.

Mercy from Overwatch by Torie

Overwatch remains a cosplay staple. Ahead of Halloween, many creators staged themed shoots. Victoria Cat, known as Torie, portrayed Mercy in the Witch skin. Her other works are featured in a separate piece dedicated to her portfolio.

Overwatch cosplay has been a longtime passion. The artist has tried Tracer, and keeps parts for Widowmaker, while admiring Ash. Shooters are a favorite way to unwind after a long day. Mercy’s look holds a special appeal.

Fans await further story additions, such as Shadow of the Erdtree. Rennie’s cosplay is by Kawabarker. The original game features quest chains that culminate in a unique ending.

Spy x Family has captivated fans worldwide, with awards and acclaim fueling a second season and a full anime release slated for December. The Yor Forger statue was realized by MeowMeowRin.

I watched the anime on stream and instantly connected with Yor. She feels nuanced and intriguing. I look forward to revisiting her character in future shoots and exploring different facets of her persona.
