GuardHouse Cosplay Photo


Not really related to my Guardhouse project exactly but it is such a good piece of photography and cosplay (dressing as a fictional character) that I just had to mention it. The Brazilian Deviantart cosplayer ‘Chris-Rickfield’ has had a few photos taken on location while cosplaying as Chris Redfield (one of the two main characters From the first Resident Evil game that the Guardhouse is from.) The locations he has chosen are eerily close to the actual locations the game is set in and the lighting used gives the photos a rather haunting feel. The costume is impressive, being as accurate as possible and the stances that the cosplayer uses for the photos are spot-on. As I mentioned before ‘Rickfield’ has a few works dressed as Chris Redfield but the one that really struck me is ‘Walking to the Guardhouse’ because apart from all of the reasons these works are so good this one just sums up the feelings of dread and loneliness that embodies the ‘Survival Horror’ that Resident Evil is known for.
