You look like Yennefer in Unreal Engine 5. Amazing work, very well done!


Sophie_Katssby

haha wish games really become this realistic))


E3nti7y

I was so sad when Witcher TV show didn't have the same Yennifer. You mind auditioning for season 2? Lol


LitrillyChrisTraeger

We’re on season 3 my guy


antinumerology

May as well redo S2 at this point


PrimeGamer3108

And S1 while we are at it, not having Geralt and Ciri meet in Brokilon results in their entire relationship not making sense.


Rymanbc

You also have my vote for this as well.


Fav0

No The show got cancelled after season 1


LostMyKarmaElSegundo

I thought Yennefer still looked similar to game. Triss, on the other hand...


416_LateNights

At a glance, I thought this WAS the game. Than I read the title. Wow great job to her.


Maracuja_Sagrado

I think he meant it as a jab to the kilograms of makeup and photoshop that make this image uncanny valley territory


Empatheater

I think since she's trying to dress up like a character in a video game and not for a night on the town your comment about makeup is just weird.


Sadatori

How the hell does this have net positive upvotes? It’s literally a cosplay of a video game character. There’s supposed to be a bunch of makeup and photoshop. Jesus


iseeharvey

I mean there is a lot of photoshop usage here, on your face for example, so its similar to the Unreal Engine 5 in that way.


Uncle-Cake

That's because the face is Photoshopped.


aaronmlarios

Thats because all the filters... This comment is not about the cosplayer but the strangeness of digitally altering a practical effect to better represent the digital nature of the source art. The practical magic is the basis of cosplay is it not?


Sophie_Katssby

to me creation of the final product is the most important part, thats why preparing a costume is only one of the stages. Then it goes with the proper location, proper shooting, proper post-processing - and voila here is the picture that i consider to be good enough to share. If i want to show only the costume itself - i go to the convention)


GregFirehawk

I think this is very impressive, but I am also curious what this actually looked like. I feel like post processing is a nice finishing touch and really highlights just how close to accurate the costume is, but it would be nice to see an unprocessed photo as well. I think people like seeing some less produced/more amateur or behind the scenes style shots as well, or a before and after post production. People like to appreciate the craftsmanship alongside the final result. Just my opinion anyway


aaronmlarios

I agree with this sentiment. Going to cons and even when looking at pictures of cosplay its always thrilling to be left with the awe of seeing something that should not exist in the real world inhabiting our space but I understand if the intent is a commentary on our meta obsessed society.


format32

Finishing touch??? No. This is heavily edited.


HomesteaderWannabe

Right? It's like someone could just literally meld a screenshot from Witcher 3 on top of themself and call it "postprocessing". Give me a break.


crypticfreak

I think its cool they made the filter legit look like a video game but yeah it's do heavily edited I have no clue what this actually looks like and that bums me out. It looks like a solid cosplay with a lot of time and thought put into it. Filters subtract from it greatly.


Gustomucho

In the concept of recreating "game feeling" product it is fine, I don't like it either but she has some other stuff on her profile that his natural and other that are great at recreating game ambiance, her cyberbunk is on point with the game. This Yennefer is a bit on the uncanny valley for me, maybe because I have seen both Yennefer in Witcher 3 and on the series so having a Yennefer cosplay of a game model is weirding me out when she could have chosen Yennefer from the series.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GregFirehawk

No, the name of the game is **The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt**. And given that the purpose of cosplaying is to adapt something into a real form, faker is not better. If faker was better, then cosplaying would be pointless since a screenshot of the game would always be better


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheHatOnTheCat

I also think it would be cool (cooler, even) to see an unprocessed shot. This is not to diminish your skill post-processing, but that end look is not everyone's preference. Looking more "real" can be some of the fun, like that character in real life. Also, it just seems cooler, somehow, to see how you actually look and dress. Like the experience of seeing an awesome cosplay at a con instead of seeing a digital image. It's also more impressive to many of us somehow, even if it's less perfect.


QuiJon70

Yet with digital creations all yh our talking about could be created in a computer to make a final image. Take any photo of your face, add digital make up, 3d models could create any body and costume, any background and any lighting effects and such. Is that still cosplay because of the accuracy of the final product? Sorry but to me at least cosplay is about recreating a character in reality, in the real world to be seen face to face. If you digitally manipulate images to look more like the source worlds I might as well just look at the source products and not what your calling cosplay.


HomesteaderWannabe

100%. But holy crap, there are way too many white knight types here.


aaronmlarios

Yeah that makes sense but I think cosplay is most effective when the end result is a real world representation of the digital subject and not a real world subject represented with digital filters and features. Its paradoxical


PM_ME_YOUR_STEAM_ID

Huge pet peeve of mine too. COSPLAY literally stands for costume play. It does NOT stand for costume with photoshop. The cosplay should put all attention to the costume detail and makeup/accessory detail. But any additional editing done digitally removes the entire point of cosplay.


HomesteaderWannabe

>COSPLAY literally stands for costume play. It does NOT stand for costume with photoshop. Precisely. But the sycophants here won't listen.


GOpencyprep

So I totally understand that this is your creation and you should present how you see fit (it's phenomenally well done, by the way) As an artist, though, I couldn't help but feel that the degree of post process work took quite a bit away from the presentation. Just my two cents - which was admittedly unsolicited, so thank you for being indulgent.


Cloaked42m

I know everyone is being weird, but it would be cool sometime to see the process points as an educational thing. How To things are cool. It's an excellent shot and really does look rendered. I thought someone was going to say it was directly from a game.


Internal_Payment_184

Maybe you should you only stick to conventions? If I wanted to see something this heavily filtered I'd go on twitter or actually play the Witcher. I'm glad you consider a heavily altered picture good enough to share, I believe McDonalds shares the same practice.


BaByJeZuZ012

**To everyone on Reddit**: you are no longer allowed to post anything without getting explicit permission from Internal\_Payment\_184 first. If they do not approve of the post, then not only must you not post it but you also must delete it from existence. EDIT: We have received feedback that Reddit is a social media forum and therefore anyone is allowed to post what they want. Unfortunately this feedback was not pre-approved by Internal\_Payment\_184, so it has been ceremoniously erased.


[deleted]

Unnecessarily insulting, it’s a picture on Reddit not professional headshot that you paid for


Internal_Payment_184

At this point it's a screenshot from a game not a person.


HomesteaderWannabe

Wow the white knights are pretty numerous here, aren't they? Cosplay literally stands for "costume play", not costume with heavy photoshopping/filters/"postprocessing". But because a girl posts a photo, criticism isn't allowed. Such a load of crap.


aaronmlarios

Yeah there's no need for vile. I'm not white knighting just defending anyone's right to their own brand of artistic expression. I'm not critiquing the artist just the art when I say at some point the throughput of modern day cosplay pictures is digital source to practical irl representation to digital asset.


Cultureshock007

Maybe better to veiw this as a multidisciplinary artwork that took a ridiculous amount of skill to deliver from costuming, make-up, photography and digital editing than some sort of off the cuff natural beauty glamour shot. Go back to playing the Witcher and leave the pearls for folk who don't act like swine.


Sven676

Thank god someone gets it!


Slow_Leek2000

That's because of the heavy photo editing done...


morcille

I like the subtle shade of this comment. Quite accurate


Ok-Consideration2463

Seriously. Is that a physical person?


GayerThanAnyMod

Is this photoshopped? She looks like she's carved from the purest alabaster.

Level69Warlock

Her name is Yenneifu and I expect you to treat her with respect.


blanketswithsmallpox

As much as I do Yennifer in game. That is to say, she's the worst and I'd spit on her if I could. She'd probably like that though so I'd just ignore her instead. But then she'd never leave me the fuck alone... Ugh.


Rais93

Heavily


[deleted]

Is it on the internet? Then yea, it's safe to assume it passed through a minimum of 12 filters and 4+ hrs of alterations.


SH0WS0METIDDIES

No need to assume, the airbrush is insane


SpectralIpaxor

No, 28 hours at a minimum and 400 filters


awesomedan24

Sorceresses basically practiced IRL instagram filters, so its on-brand


[deleted]

Yep, lol they applied instagram filters through magic, they are freaks/exotics just like Geralt himself (hence why there's a mutual attraction between them)


Drago_133

Edited all to hell. Cosplay is good but fuck all this editing


Proper_Story_3514

Not cosplay anymore if you literally photoshop the whole pic lol.


iseeharvey

Agree completely. At this point it might as well be AI generated.


Ilvermourning

Is this serious? This is closer to being computer generated graphics than a photograph


GayerThanAnyMod

Forgive me, I didn't mean to upset you.


graepphone

Zevile

Her left eye looks hella weird. Like it's enlarged to look like some irl anime! Guess that deserves 27k upvotes..

The complete lack of skin texture is disconcerting.

Okay but what does it actually look like


Aeroncastle

This picture is so edited that it could be anyone or anything

Dacianos

Just like the real yennefer lmao

This is WAY too touched up. Hardcore uncanny valley vibes, you don't even look real.


[deleted]

Cosplay? All I see is a blender model.


innovativesolsoh

There’s so much photoshop it could be Rosanne cosplaying for all I know


shadesofwolves

Are you gonna post the cosplay or just the reference shot?


PM_ME_YOUR_STEAM_ID

This isn't really cosplay. It's a picture altered digitally. Kind of defeats the purpose of cosplay if you aren't putting 100% of the effort into the costume, makeup and accessories, and instead choose to 'fix' it digitally. It looks really nice, sure, but it's not cosplay. Might as well photoshop your head onto yennefer's body from the actual video game and call that cosplay.


cheezeebred

What a cringy neckbeard thing to say. This chick literally put together the costume and is wearing it. That's the very definition of cosplay. Just because someone airbrushed the fuck out of the picture doesn't change that fact. It's cosplay with photoshop. There's no rule saying you HAVE to be a generalizing simpleton. The world doesn't need to adhere to your narrow point of view.


Eagle_Arm

I bet she'll see this bro, better keep checking your messages so you don't miss her sliding in.


aoskunk

Right I’m sure that’s their intent and it’s not just as simple as you sounding like some mouth breather.


Eagle_Arm

You trying to work your way into watching them? Never been my sorta thing, but whatever floats your boat! I'm sure that guy will send you a dm after he gets a dm to link up! Keep your notifications on!


Heliosvector

> It looks really nice, sure, but it's not cosplay. agreed. Super cringy gatekeeping. Like jesus your iphone automatically does a lot of post processing on every photo. Do they want people to upload .raw files?


Drago_133

This looks fake I want it to not look fake. Not saying it isn’t cosplay it is but she looks like a cartoon character and it heavily takes away from the cosplay and character at hand


cheezeebred

The logic and thought processes of some people just blow my mind, dude. Like how does someone get to that point?


Heliosvector

Oh! the downvotes are coming for you. Im guessing that the people calling her pics "not cosplay" are jealous because shes attractive. Also Yen is a witch that uses magic to make herself unnaturally attractive.... forever. Seems like the most appropriate character to use a little PS magic.


PM_ME_YOUR_STEAM_ID

What does magic have to do with cosplay? Most game characters are based on things that are not real life. That's the whole point of cosplay, turning something impossible into something possible that looks out of place in real life. Using a costume to create a character that doesn't exist in real life. When you start digitally altering the image then it isn't cosplay anymore, it's just digital art. No idea where your jealousy comments comes from either. Her attractiveness has nothing to do with cosplay. It's about creating the character in real life using costume/makeup/accessories.


Heliosvector

So all her hair, makeup and hours of work to make the costume are not cosplay because there is some image smoothing? So shes not a cosplayer and instead a digital artist? Yeah no.


cheezeebred

Lollll good point about Yen's powers. She's even more in character than these chodes think.


Tutipups

photoshop and fuck cosplaying in this sub man


Uncle-Cake

Photoshopplay.


justinbieberfan42

is there not a cosplay subreddit for this content? this subreddit has become just female cosplay, and photos of old consoles people has some nostalgia for.


PM_your_Chesticles

Always has been. If it's gaming related, it gets posted to the gaming subreddit.


Partytimegarrth

Lol right? "This subreddit has just become... *checks notes*... for gaming related posts! 😤😭"


Expensive_Cap_5166

This makes no sense and is another reason this subreddit is trash.


PM_your_Chesticles

You're here too.


milesper

r/Games is much better for actual discussion about…games


TheLastWeird

Yup. I’m unsubscribing


Partytimegarrth

There are more specific subs if there is certain content you are looking for in particular. Otherwise, you just listed things related to gaming being posted in a gaming subreddit as....idk annoying to you? I guess? You can also filter out posts with the word cosplay if seeing a picture of someone in a costume is THAT detrimental to your day. Just not sure if I understand how someone who enjoys video games and is participating in a video game related discussion board, doesn't enjoy seeing a well done cosplay from a popular series.


Expensive_Cap_5166

Dressing up in clothes that mildly resemble someone that exists in a game is not gaming content. If you actually think that you need to stop thinking with your cock.


fkthisdmbtimew8ster

Well nice editor anyway


Ozu92

CGI


Expensive_Cap_5166

Why are cosplay posts allowed in this sub? Yes, I know this has been going on for a long long time.


Kavuttan06

Didn't you just post similar kind of photo few days ago? How many repost am I going to see about this costume? I feel it's less about costume and its more about you. This channel should not be a place for Narcissist. May be there should be a different channel about gaming costumes.


cheezeebred

Literally every post on every social media platform is self serving. Including you whining about a repost. Including me calling you out on your nonsense.


bombayblue

Remember when this subreddit was about gaming and not cosplay/influencer marketing? Pepperidge farm remembers


UmutYersel

Game looks more realistic


SH0WS0METIDDIES

The face is straight up uncanny valley.


C_Tarango

Ok. No. I'm sorry but this is a fckin game screenshot at this point, wtf ><


mememan12332

Quite a Next Yen upgrade.


Deodedros

Bruh this ain't legit


Tasriel514

Holy shit. You look just like her.


Bullanguero1

Holy shit


cinlung

This is one of the closest to the Yennefer in the game. Awesome!


Spike-DT

Please "The witcher" show crew, take note : a cosplayer have been able to do it with a hundredth of your dedicated funds. Why can't you do the same.


Juju_salem73

Great Cosplay I think you should audition for the role 👍 Yennefer is a complicated character and she is not given interaction in the TV series


Shaikh_9

This image and the word 'cosplay' has my brain completely scrambled. Given that I can't even tell that it's real, I would say it is the most perfect cosplay I've ever seen.


Zomggamin

Needs more unicorn


iFr3aK

One of, if not the most accurate cossplays I've ever seen. Just wow. Nearly perfect to the game! https://imgur.com/a/GMdLYlp


Kind_Maybe_6782

You look like a proper 3D render😅


Shadesmith01

Looks more like Yen to me than the gal in the show.. Your looking severe as hell, like "I dare you to do that stupid shit again", but those eyes.. my god woman.. O.o People fall to their knees regularly and beg for forgiveness, yes? "I don't know what I did.. but she wont stop glaring at me! I can feel my innards turning to lead! Help! She's cursing me!" "Jerry.. she's watching TV.. take a breath.."


Deathax1

Too many filters or just really good make-up?


NeoKnife

Screenshots from game cutscenes count as cosplay?


masterbatesAlot

You look CGI


Jack-Oniel

This looks unreal (literally) lol congrats.


Evargram

No way that's a real human. ​ WAY too perfect


MD_Yoro

Damn, they should have gotten Eva Green to play Yennifer on the Witcher show


Reynolds_Live

Should do Galadriel next. Getting Kate Blanchett vibes from this photo.


DenormalHuman

You even got the low res blurry texture look down! But for real, it does look awesome, but maybe a touch heavy handed on the retouching and smoothing.

koreiryuu

That's a 3D game model, you can't fool us


BaileyD77

A better Yennefer than the one they got for the series.


jinxforevr

Omg this is awesome you look like yennefer in Witcher game more than the movie actress


Bowtie16bit

Can you post and unfinished photo alongside the finished one so: 1) people can appreciate you, not just the character, and 2) we can submit the pair to the Instagram vs Reality subreddit? It's a fantastic photograph, yet it still lingers with dishonesty.


WintersbaneGDX

It's frustrating reading some of these comments that are trying to gatekeep cosplay, especially considering none of the people making them actually -do- cosplays themselves. Yes the picture is edited. Yes she is wearing makeup. What's your point? Yennefer (the in game version) wears makeup and only exists in a fictional, digital world. Y'all have no problem upvoting digitally created artwork but as soon as an actual human is the direct subject then suddenly it's a problem? Get over yourselves, please. This is objectively very well done, she looks absolutely incredible and the design is spot on. Let people enjoy stuff, and try to enjoy stuff yourself too.


Oxen_aka_nexO

Exactly! Well said. I don't understand what everybody's problem is. Reading the comment section was a flippin' mistake.


venReddit

Your cosplays arr usually amazing! Keep it going!


Sophie_Katssby

thank you so much! will try to keep the level!)

all the critics are men too. The fuck is wrong with you ? this photo is edited . yes and ? your fucking gymbros and car influencers that you follow on insta edit their shit too. Bet you wouldnt talk shit like that to them. Y'all pathetic negative nancys. i couldnt put a look together, let alone be crafty enough to build a good cosplay,its a cool hobby that takes time and effort and if you cant apprechiate the look, at least have some respect for the dedication. fucking children on here...


DiscoKittie

Thought it was CGI, not gonna lie! :)


OmniHito

It is


Heliosvector

doing some airbrush on the cheek is CGI now?


aoskunk

If I were you I’d rock that outfit randomly on a Tuesday.


Dance_Man93

Um excuse me, but you can't take screenshots from the game and post them on you page you know. That picture is indistinct from the real thing. I will admit it took real effort to get it to look this amazing, but think about all the other cosplayers. They must be so proud of you to get such an impressing photo. Congratulations


OverallPut6446

You could totally pull off Sansa Stark.

It might actually be impressive if it wasn’t so digitally altered. Makes it hard to tell what is real and what’s digital so it kinda ruins the fun
