While it’s more common that you see female cosplayers dressing up as male characters, it’s more rare that you’ll see a male cosplayer dress up as a female character. However, today we’ve been treated to an extremely high quality example of a female character turned male. The team at Thousand-Faces cosplay pulled off the perfect male version of Zarya from Overwatch. And it wasn’t just this one cosplayer that pulled it off.
It was a total team effort. With the help of Wulfgar Weapons & Props on the amazing armor and the gun and the photos by Insomniac Studios, the result was a virtually flawless cosplay. As an added bonus there’s even a photograph of the male Zarya hugging a stuffed teddy bear. Isn’t that lovely? Here’s a full description of the character:
Aleksandra “Zarya” Zaryanova is a Russian, pink-haired soldier who loves to play around with particles and gravity. Her primary weapon of choice is a particle cannon which can shoot beams and balls of energy, and create shields for herself and her allies. A powerful Tank, Zarya can turn the damage she absorbs into energy to fuel her weapons, dishing out damage as she defends her team.
