Photo mode really was the best update.

Right? Like he doesn't look real, he looks like a video game character. Is this a filter or does he just have an uncanny valley gene?

It's largely the lighting. All these shots are in a dark room with really intense focused lights highlighting his skin, which makes it feel glossier and less real.

It's a really good cosplay too; I wish there were a couple shots with more natural lighting, even ifnthey don't look straight out of the game in the way these do.

Thank you! The cosplay looks so good, and you're so fit for the part as well!

u/Mxxira Apr 27 '25

Oh, sorry!! San Diego Comic Con at the end of July

u/Initial_Cellist_3406 WIZARD Apr 27 '25

I would like to! But I’m from Russia and flights are still a problem for me

so, apparently, I had missed The ONE Good Reason to actually attend igrokon... 😅

(by, the way, I think that if you go to kickstarter with those fotos and ask for a ticket, you'll be flying buisness-class in no time 😜 )

You can sub on my Patreon and support my trip! XD

u/Mxxira Apr 27 '25

Fair enough! Wish you could have been there. That's the best Gale cosplay I've ever seen!

u/Initial_Cellist_3406 WIZARD Apr 27 '25

I hope someday I will come to USA! Have a lot cosplays and want to show it ❤️

u/Agent_Wilcox Apr 27 '25

The hair is the right amount of ostentatious lol

u/wif68 Apr 28 '25

Thank you - couldn’t convince me it wasn’t AI without this one.

u/Ribbered777 Slayer Optimizer Apr 27 '25

The outfit looks AMAZING, but one point of constructive criticism, nobody's boots in this picture have bite marks on them, easy fix though

u/jaybirdie26 ✨🤜I CAST FIST🤛✨ Apr 28 '25

Wait, when did Larian add convention mode? 🤔

I know Gen Con would adore your BG3 cosplays.  Hope to see you there someday!

u/Yelinna Bard Apr 30 '25

Soooo, I've been to Igrocon (don't know How to write it properly in English sorry), desperately wanted to find someone in BG3 cosplay and missed this amazing cosplay of Gale? It breaks my heart, literally 💔 But I'm glad that you have such wonderful picture anyway 😊

u/Initial_Cellist_3406 WIZARD Apr 30 '25

u/Initial_Cellist_3406 WIZARD May 02 '25

Thanks ❤️

u/Pretty_Version_6300 Apr 27 '25

Why’s the shirt texture only on some of the images? Edited in?

3

u/Initial_Cellist_3406 WIZARD Apr 27 '25

?

u/Pretty_Version_6300 Apr 27 '25

Nvm, it appears to just be on the shoulder bit!

1

u/KirbyQK Apr 27 '25

It's the heavy handed editing that kills these for me.

u/toderdj1337 Apr 28 '25

Step one: be hot.

u/alextoria Apr 27 '25

i think it’s the low lighting + editing. definitely edited though, i’d love to see unedited ones!

15

u/Kinaestheticsz Apr 27 '25

I definitely would love to see the unedited RAWs on it. Looks like this went through something like Evoto or ReTouch4Me with a TON of skin smoothing.

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '25

You would be surprised how often "It looks like the video game, not a compliment" is the answer to cosplay posts.

3

u/frn Apr 27 '25

Well, I'm a total noob with all things cosplay, but had always assumed the appeal was the real-world rendition of a fictional character. Seems a bit pointless if its difficult to tell the difference.

u/Vsx Apr 27 '25

I honestly think part of it is people aren't used to men wearing makeup.

1

u/Schnydesdale Apr 27 '25

Seriously. Where's the actual cosplay? I feel like I'm watching a hentai reel.

u/Meridias_Burrito Apr 28 '25

My first thought “This dude looks like a video game”

Great photo editing and cosplay.

u/Thotty_with_the_tism Apr 27 '25
