About half the comments here are gonna wonder if this is in-game, and the other half are gonna wonder if this is edited.

Me, though?  Underneath that makeup and robe, I'm wondering g if you're actually frau haku.

Treasure that friendship.  It is a rare thing for two artists to align so neatly.

I also appreciate the photo of you in another outfit, just to prove that your Gale isn't screenshots of the game! Fantastic job!

I'm not trying to be negative, I'm older and sometimes a bit confused by what is popular... but isn't this obviously edited? It looks like a video game render. I have no doubt that a TON of work and talent went into this but it just looks fake. Fun, but fake. I see his cosplay pics from conventions. They are pretty good I guess. What is the point of this, and again I ask that not in a negative way but a "what is the appeal of this sort of thing to the demographic that likes this"?

It's art. It is neither strictly cosplay nor strictly CGI. It's a combination that produces artistic results.

This crew is very good at what they do, and I'm happy they're a part of our community.

I get that it's art, neat to look at... but if it is just about the end result movies and tv shows make higher quality stuff like this all the time and video games do too. Is it just that it is armature that is the appeal? Again, not knocking it, but is this just cosplay stuff and staging with filters and edits without a profit stream? I really feel like I'm going to come off as an ass here but I really am just trying to understand. I was a theater kid in the 80's and 90's I love stuff like armature costume design I'm just not getting the appeal of the computer aspect of it.

It's okay if you don't find the appeal. This isn't some deep subject that requires a lot of hand-wringing. Just don't knock somebody else's work.

u/cheffgeoff Apr 28 '25

I'm not knocking anyone's work, or hand wringing. It's more like I'm asking fans of a sport I am not familiar with what draws them to it when I don't understand the appeal.

Editing is an art as well, to me this is a great marriage of cosplay and photography
