This week, we explore the wonderful things that happen when great cosplayers, an awesome photographer and bit a of digital manipulation mix. While it's great that cosplayers can craft an accurate costume and photographers can find shots and backdrops that really bring a character to life, it's also interesting to see how a bit of digital photo manipulation can make it look like the real world and the world of gaming have melded. The end result is pretty jaw-dropping.
