Snakes and Wolves and Metal Gear Solid Cosplay, Oh My!
A recent Metal Gear Solid V-themed photo shoot made use of a rather lupine accessory.
When it comes cosplay, one of the biggest goals that many artists and performers aspire to is authenticity. It's not just enough to make a good costume. You have to embody the character you're portraying and, as much as a person can, become them. It's a task that can be daunting and one where even the smallest of edges can make a world of difference. We're going to go ahead and say that bringing a live wolf to a shoot might qualify as such an edge.
Hoping to make their <a href=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/57452-Metal-Gear-Solid-V-The-Phantom-Pain-Review>Metal Gear Solid V shoot as close to source as possible, cosplayer <a href=https://www.facebook.com/majafelicitas?__mref=message_bubble>Maja Felicitas along with the fine folks at <a href=https://www.facebook.com/maulcosplay?__mref=message_bubble>Maul Cosplay recently did just that. Enlisting the help of the animal trainers at <a href=http://www.filmwolve.com/studio.html>Filmwolf Lobine, the cosplayers were able to capture some fantastic images focused on Big Boss, the sniper Quiet and Snake's canine companion D-Dog. Granted, this version of D-Dog has both of his eyes, which does make the portrayal a bit inaccurate. Then again, it's a real freaking wolf so you'd really have to be nitpicking to complain.
The big question, of course, is how do you up the ante after you bring a live wolf into the mix? In the case of a series like Metal Gear Solid the obvious answer would be <a href=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/141472-Japan-And-America-Will-Soon-Have-A-Giant-Robot-Duel>giant robots but, sadly, those are somewhat in short supply. Who knows, maybe in a few years we'll have a few more of those lying around to satisfy our epic cosplay needs. Until then, we'll be happy with wolves.
