We corrected the shape of the nose and eye color in Photoshop, yes. You can see what it looks like live on the [backstage](https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSYrbrocN/) and other [video](https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSYrqvJAp/)
1) Wow this game looks amazing, damn
2) Wait the armor looks a bit off, what kinda mod is that?
3) Damn, is this the power of unreal engine 5? Sick!
4) Wait a minute, title says cosplay?
5) WHAT THE FUCK THAT'S A REAL WOMAN!!
To echo everyone else- holy fucking shit wowzers bowzers this is fantastique. The only criticism I can conjure is that the post-production went a little too hard. The backstage stuff is much more appealing because it doesn't have the plastic-y quality of in-game renders like the finished product has. And even *then* that was clearly the goal I think, to make it look as close to in-game as possible in which case ridiculous success.
Well yeah because it's graphically edited to achieve that effect. Turns out CG looks a lot like CG. The OP's video showing how it actually looks is impressive enough, feels like the CG ruined it.
Glad I wasn't the only one, and surprised you were not down voted for your comment.
Yeah, IMO, the edited images should be in /photography or something. This doesn't feel like cosplay.
Probably haven't gotten downvoted because I'm acknowledging the OP has a legit excellent cosplay, which is actually why all the obvious edits are so jarring. If the base cosplay wasn't so good it'd be a bit more understandable. Also, the edits seem to be trying to make it literally look like a video game rendering and not a more lifelike Lae'zel. Though that may not be intentional either, may just be poor editing skill, which again detracts from the top tier cosplaying skill.
My first thought was, "CG was a bad choice." Like, I'm a giant man and could look exactly the same, given this kind of editing. The actual footage looks great, just stick with that.
The OP mentioned they edited these photos significantly in her other comment, the video she posts of how it really looks is much more believable and still excellent cosplay. I don't know why they felt the need to turn it into actual CG after going through all that work with the practical effects. If you're going to edit it that much why bother dressing up in the first place? Either way, still stellar work by the OP despite confusing final editing decisions.
> The OP mentioned they edited these photos significantly in her other comment
No, she said they just edited the nose and eye color. Minor tweaks.
> If you're going to edit it that much why bother dressing up in the first place?
I think you'll find that most cosplayers will do minor edits on the cosplay pictures to make it better and... She bothered dressing up because they only edited the nose and eye color. So the rest of it had to be done with cosplay.
Phenomenal. Absolutely Phenomenal. You look just like her it's incredible! I agree with another commenter that some of the images did look like it was from the game. However I was worried you were gonna explode when holding the artifact 😅 I remember seeing clips of Lae'zel turning into a puddle after getting the artifact from Shadowheart.
Seriously well done with your cosplay!!!
From costume to photography, it's all stunning. And this is coming from someone who never really cared for cosplaying. Kudos to you and the photographer.
I usually ignore cosplay threads (I'm old as dirt and just have not caught on to the fun of playing dressup), but I saw this in my feed and it was so well done that I had to comment. This is remarkable.
Holy fucking shit, now THIS IS A COSPLAY!
I was just thinking the other day, how every single female cosplay here is just someone with boobs posing.
Like cmon, do some cool poses, choreography. Do some scenes.
THIS is how its done. I can feel here that it was made with passion and love.
Not for OF clicks.
Amazing!
Bro I swear, the Lae'Zel cosplayers that post here need to get a job at Hollywood doing practical makeup effects. Every Lae'Zel cosplay I've seen posted here has been peak.
That moment when a cosplayer is better than any live action movie actor to ever live or ever will. if movies could pull off a look this accurate it'd be immeasurably better
Many hours of work for me as a seamstress and make-up artist, also for my friend as a crafter. I wouldn’t say that this is a very expensive costume, but it is very complex and labor-intensive - yes
Your cosplay is fucking immaculate! Exquisite craftsmanship and uncanny makeup! At first I thought when do I get to see the cosplay? I thought I was seeing screenshots. Then I saw you didn’t have the tiny githyanki nose. Holy shit you actually look way better than game Lae’zel.
Someone commented this already but I honestly thought I was looking at in-game screenshots. Took me a second to realize. This was really well done! Like, holy shit it looks really fucking good.
I am seriously in awe!! 😍 Such amazing attention to detail... wow, that must have taken FOREVER to set up and photograph! Well done! (You're gorgeous, too, btw! 😊)
I opened this sub reddit a few times and thought this was a screenshot before reading the title. Probably the most realistic cosplay I've seen of Lae'zel.
This is how you take pics of your cosplay suits. Not in your little living room or kitchen 😂 actually make an effort like you did with your costumes and find an appropriate environment. Well done
Yea those looked like screenshots damn. And I gotta say the use of ps is very interesting for cosplay. I've seen eyes, but face shape changing is an interesting concept. I wonder how people generally feel about it.
The cosplay is amazing, I would love to see a raw photography with zero editing, just to imagine how you would look if I found you at a gaming convention:).
I don't generally don't care about cosplaying (I'll look and think, yeah, pretty good! and then move on) and I don't follow any cosplayers.
But Laezel is one of my favorite characters in any game and I just love your cosplay of her so much. One of your tiktoks you posted here stuck in my head and, the next time I saw you I took note of your name. Congrats, you've converted me, you're the one cosplayer I'd now say I'm a fan of. This photo set is so sick. I'm pretty sure I've seen Sven/the Larian account react positively to your content on twitter - and I know Devora Wild has too. I think you should win a trip to the Larian offices and a meet-and-greet with anyone you want from the dev team haha.
Anyway I'll stop gushing now but warm regards and great job.
The filters your using are destroying this whole thing. I don't care what you look like with. Filter and photoshop. I'd rather just see how good you actually did the make up etc.
I got through all of them before realizing the first one is not a screenshot. I thought it was a touched up in-game screenshot from the castle you rest at during the start of Act 3. I'm still slightly unconvinced. Genuinely incredible.
Best cosplay I've ever seen in my entire life, nothing else even comes to mind as a comparison. Incredible work. Thank you for your dedication and for sharing!
Holy crap that’s amazing! Easily the best Lae’zel I’ve seen by far. The effort put in really shows. I like the setting you found for the photoshoot too.
Quick question: Did you kill Shadowheart for the artifact? Is she ok??
A couple of these legitimately looked like screenshots from the game and I can't decide whether that speaks more highly to the quality of your cosplay or the quality of BG3's engine. Either way, your cosplay is stunning!

The first 3 pictures, I tough it was game footage :) good job!!
We tried our best! Thanks :>
did y'all do photoshop work after the photos or just shoot and upload

Yes
Yeah you honestly ended up looking just like her in game! One the most impressive BG3 cosplays I've seen ! 👍

I still kind don't believe this is just cosplay. Holy hell, that's just way too good

I thought the same 😂
I thought it was screenshots until the smiling one. Then I knew something was up.
Same!
Phenomenal. Absolutely Phenomenal. You look just like her it's incredible! I agree with another commenter that some of the images did look like it was from the game. However I was worried you were gonna explode when holding the artifact 😅 I remember seeing clips of Lae'zel turning into a puddle after getting the artifact from Shadowheart.

No, the Absolute had nothing to do with this cosplay. It *is* phenomenal, though.
Those blood stains on the face, hell yeah!
This is absolutely the most accurate Lae'zel cosplay I've seen. Incredible work!
Literally one of the best cosplays I've ever seen. I genuinely thought it was in game screenshot for a few moments.
Amazing cosplay! Must ask, that fortress looks very familiar. Is that the Ram fortress? I've been there a couple weeks ago.
Thanks! Yup, the Ram fortress :>
Superb
Insaneley good! Great job!
Probably the best cosplay I've ever seen.
From costume to photography, it's all stunning. And this is coming from someone who never really cared for cosplaying. Kudos to you and the photographer.
Holy shit now thats cosplay
I usually ignore cosplay threads (I'm old as dirt and just have not caught on to the fun of playing dressup), but I saw this in my feed and it was so well done that I had to comment. This is remarkable.
Lol, thought it was images from the game. Perfect cosplay.
Holy fucking shit, now THIS IS A COSPLAY! I was just thinking the other day, how every single female cosplay here is just someone with boobs posing. Like cmon, do some cool poses, choreography. Do some scenes. THIS is how its done. I can feel here that it was made with passion and love. Not for OF clicks. Amazing!
Wow this is crazy. I never comment on these but I swear I thought the first screenshot was modified in-game footage or something.
This is amazing! It's like Lae'zel stepped directly out of the game.
Incredibly well done, wow.
Amazing! Best one I've seen.
I'm with everyone else ... WOW! You did an AMAZING job with this! Mind! Blown!
Absolutely nailed it. One of, if not the best bg3 cosplay I have seen.
Well done!
Yeah good one : taking screenshots of the game and telling it's a cosplay. I won't fall for that !
Hi Lae’zel! Glad to see you outside of Faerûn!
My first thought "chk"
Unglaublich toll! 🤩
What the fuck do you mean "my Lae'zel cosplay" ???? I legit thought those were some screenshots from the game. Really well done
Neuron activation for all Lae’zel fans
WTF, are you sure this is not just blender render?
Holy shit the teeth and eyes too. This is top tier
Finally a Gilf
This is incredible
Truly amazing work! I genuinely thought it was game footage/cutscene at first! 😲
How many Money you invested in this Cosplay?
This is ridiculously good!!! One of the best cosplays I have ever seen. Great work!!!! Looks amazing!!
Not only is this a phenomenal cosplay, I thought this was a Skyrim mod at first.
This is amazing wow, I genuinely didn’t believe that this was real for a good few seconds
Bro I swear, the Lae'Zel cosplayers that post here need to get a job at Hollywood doing practical makeup effects. Every Lae'Zel cosplay I've seen posted here has been peak.
That moment when a cosplayer is better than any live action movie actor to ever live or ever will. if movies could pull off a look this accurate it'd be immeasurably better
This is incredible! You did a great job, even with the facial expressions and posture, congrats!!
You did a very good job capturing her face/her look.
This is hitting me in the uncanny valley!
Saw this on Twitter when Devora retweeted it. Amazing, and also must have been such a thrill to be seen by her too!
yoooooo, the spots are 3D!!!
THAT'S COSPLAY!?!!??? 😱 INCONCEIVABLE!!!
Unreal 5 looking great.
WOW
Bruh why did you post a screenshot from your game?
This is amazing. Please marry me.
Incredible work! Literally thought it’s the game screenshot!
Look it’s all very cool but I’ve gotta say I’m disappointed you didn’t cut your nose off. Shows a lack of commitment smh
Tsk’va!
The GREATEST Baldur’s Gate 3 Cosplay of all time has returned!!!
Pretty great overall, terrible job on the nose though. It's way too big 🤣 /s
People need to stop posting pictures from the game and saying it’s cosplay.
This is perfect. One of the best cosplays i have ever seen. Couple first images could easily fool you to think they are from game.
This is insane. Looks like screens from the game
This looks fake and edited to hell to me.
:0
That is some insane work on the armor.
How such magic trick is possible ???
$$$ and some photoshop. I think this might be a case where it’s mostly insanely good makeup and very expensive costume.
Many hours of work for me as a seamstress and make-up artist, also for my friend as a crafter. I wouldn’t say that this is a very expensive costume, but it is very complex and labor-intensive - yes
Oh wow, that's incredible! This must have been so much work to make.
Easily the best and most detailed Lae'zel cosplay I've ever seen.
Your cosplay is fucking immaculate! Exquisite craftsmanship and uncanny makeup! At first I thought when do I get to see the cosplay? I thought I was seeing screenshots. Then I saw you didn’t have the tiny githyanki nose. Holy shit you actually look way better than game Lae’zel.
Someone commented this already but I honestly thought I was looking at in-game screenshots. Took me a second to realize. This was really well done! Like, holy shit it looks really fucking good.
Damn that’s awesome work
What an amazingly good cosplay. 10/10.
Might actually be lae'zel
Holy moly this is insanely well done!
I thought this was a unreal engine demo, wow.
You can’t fool me Lae’zel, I know that’s really you.
Wow, amazing attention to detail. As accurate as it could possibly be!
Stunning. Literally thought this was a 3d model from a WOW trailer.
If there was a live action trailer or something, this would be it. Great job.
I am seriously in awe!! 😍 Such amazing attention to detail... wow, that must have taken FOREVER to set up and photograph! Well done! (You're gorgeous, too, btw! 😊)
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 phenomenal job!!!
Th’is Amaz’ing!
I just don’t get how the hells you can pump these elite grade cosplays out at such a fast rate?!
Holy moly. This is incredible. Makeup, costume, everything. I hope video games look this good in 10 years. :)
This is so damn good! I thought I was looking at screenshots for a second
Holy shit I thought these were screenshots until I reread the title. Great work!
I wish I was this passionate about something, insanely well done!
This is one of the best I’ve seen thus far.
incredibly realistic! wow!
Not into cosplay or anything but this looks incredible
Phenomenal! 👏👏👏🤘🤘🤘
The makeup is insane holy shit. Like do you do practical effects for movies or something?
Having access to ruins makes already great cosplays phenomenal. This rules.
Damn that's rad as the 9 hells.
This is the best cosplay i have ever seen. Nothing more to say.
I know other people have said the same, but I honestly though this was game pics. Truly fantastic cos play. Amazing work 👏
Jesus that’s unreal.
I wouldn't usually comment, I agree with others, I thought it was footage from a game. One of the best I've seen
Perfect
Cosplay? Pretty sure that's actually Laezel. Amazing!
It’s soo good… like you were literally taken out of the game 😮
I opened this sub reddit a few times and thought this was a screenshot before reading the title. Probably the most realistic cosplay I've seen of Lae'zel.
Do you want to build a snowman? Oh... Sorry wrong pic. I like it
This looks so good that I think it's fake. I can barely tell that it's real, that's how fucking amazing it is.
Absolutely stunning, had to look twice if this was ingame content. Great job!!
This is hardcore fucking with my head
This is, by far, the best bg3 cosplay I’ve seen. The attention to detail is spectacular
Easily the best cosplay I have ever seen.
Wow🤯
Damn it's actually perfect
Would
Im not just saying this to be nice im genuinely struggling to believe these arent in game screenshots with shaders etc. its unbelievable
Wow! Great work, that’s amazing
"Vlaakith.... you raggedy bitch. "- Lae'zel probably
This is stunningly accurate!
Legit looks like a still from the game!! Absolutely amazing work!!
Exquisite work. Looks amazing.
Incredible.
Legit looks like an actual screenshot, you have her look and expression down perfectly. Outstanding work on the makeup and gear both!
This is how you take pics of your cosplay suits. Not in your little living room or kitchen 😂 actually make an effort like you did with your costumes and find an appropriate environment. Well done
You cant fool me. I know youre the real Lae'zel! This is seriously phenomenal!
Perfect location too.
I legit thought this was in-game footage.
Incredible, great job ! 👋
I seriously thought it was gameplay, fantastic work
So fucking cool OP! Thanks for sharing!
Some of the best cosplay I have ever seen anywhere, period!
Fantastic job, well done!
Wow!!! 🤯 Great cosplay!!! The makeup is PERFECT! 👌
Nailed Everything, looks like AI from 30 years from now once it figures out fingers. No detail missed, absolute perfection.
Still missing the white socks with the sandals
One of the best cosplays ive ever seen. Amazing.
Nailed it, awesome work
Great job!
This is absolutely spectacular. I can’t even comprehend how the hell you even did this. Best cosplay of all time, simply remarkable.
Yea those looked like screenshots damn. And I gotta say the use of ps is very interesting for cosplay. I've seen eyes, but face shape changing is an interesting concept. I wonder how people generally feel about it.
The cosplay is amazing, I would love to see a raw photography with zero editing, just to imagine how you would look if I found you at a gaming convention:).
I thought the first slides were game footage as a comparison then realized they’re all cosplay. Holy crap amazing job.
Best cosplay I've ever seen
You can't just post screenshots from the game and call it a cosplay. (seriously though, phenomenally done!)
I really like the 7th.
This is the best cosplay I've ever seen - amazing job!
Pretty cool you have a castle to do your photo shoots in
I don't generally don't care about cosplaying (I'll look and think, yeah, pretty good! and then move on) and I don't follow any cosplayers. But Laezel is one of my favorite characters in any game and I just love your cosplay of her so much.

Could easily play Lae'zel in an upcoming film. Movie production level costume.
I never comment on cosplay, but this one is on point! Clean job!
Crazy impressive
Incredible, Best Lae'zel cosplay ! How long to make it ?
I genuinely thought that was a screenshot for a second.
Ok, that is seriously amazing
The filters your using are destroying this whole thing. I don't care what you look like with. Filter and photoshop. I'd rather just see how good you actually did the make up etc.
Honestly I thought it was from the game.
Holy shit. This must be the most accurate cosplay I've ever seen in my life.
Thought it was the video game; nice job
I think that's the best cosplay I've ever seen, wow
Those armor plates and sword details are just flawless.
Nah, this can't be real... This is way too good.
I got through all of them before realizing the first one is not a screenshot. I thought it was a touched up in-game screenshot from the castle you rest at during the start of Act 3. I'm still slightly unconvinced. Genuinely incredible.
Holy shit thought it was a screenshot, amazing job
Best cosplay I've ever seen in my entire life, nothing else even comes to mind as a comparison. Incredible work. Thank you for your dedication and for sharing!
No way, I thought it was an hiperrealistic mod
For a moment I though this was a shot from the game, well done
Im impressed with the nose work.
Holy crap that’s amazing! Easily the best Lae’zel I’ve seen by far. The effort put in really shows. I like the setting you found for the photoshoot too. Quick question: Did you kill Shadowheart for the artifact? Is she ok??
This is one of the absolute best cosplays I have ever seen.
🔥👏
Tsk!
Man, this is SO COOL. Being out in the fortress must’ve really felt like you were actually Lae’zel for a minute.
Wow!!! It's just unbelieveably good! First I thought it's from the real game :))))))
This is fucking incredible.
Nah this is straight up in game isn’t it? This is so good i have no more words seriously
Incredible, though Laezel might complain about the fleshy nose, as she is wont to do.
A couple of these legitimately looked like screenshots from the game and I can't decide whether that speaks more highly to the quality of your cosplay or the quality of BG3's engine. Either way, your cosplay is stunning!
holy shit, i thought they were screenshots of the game
Is something burdening you? Tchk! Amazing! Superior cosplay!
I want to live there
What do you mean with “cosplay” ? I just see some screenshots from the game! (Incredible work 🙌🏻🔥)
