I was at the bookstore yesterday when I caught sight of the cover of 'MAKE' magazine. It was a guy standing next to a Warhammer 40K Space Marine suit he had built!

So I find out his name is Shawn Thorsson!

Shawn is a costume expert based in San Francisco who recently made a Warhammer 40K Space Marine outfit for the Maker Faire this year!

Other outfits Shawn has worked on

Dead Space 2

Halo Spartans

HALO UNSC Marines

 And many more

Shawn is so great at what he does, he makes costumes professionally for clients and stuff! Check out his production blog and his latest projects here

 
Wall Street Journal posted this AMAZING behind the scenes look at making up a Zombie, Walking Dead style!

WICKED makeup! Well, if you ask me, sometimes really awesome makeup is way more awesome than CG creatures in live action movies.

Here's the actress playing the zombie: Xan Angelovich without makeup

Applying makeup, prosthetics, airbrushing...

They even insert black gunk to 'rot' her teeth up! (and of course the contact lenses)

Give a sexy face!

Great photos! Check out the nice big size ones here

Cosplay is usually about dressing up as your favorite character from a TV show, Game, Anime etc. Other than the odd guy who dresses up for laughs (tutu Halo muscle guy), there have been people who dress up as food brand mascots or food products, yummy edible things.
