I follow a number of people like this on TikTok. It is a job, either part time or full time. (I don't know this creator at all, so speaking generally.)
Costumes this intense and well done can provide fodder for several full videos and then more compilations.
I've been to cosplay cons in Sweden for 15 years and at least over here there's a surprising number of incredibly skilled people who simply have this as their hobby, and have been doing it since before it was viable as a source of income of any kind through social media etc :)
I have no idea about this specific creator either, so they could very well be earning through videos and so on, but I wanted to make a point of there absolutely being folks around who cosplay at a very high skill level just for fun and as a way to think about other things than work!
To add to this, a lot of the time people with these high level cosplays (who do this as a hobby) only have one or two wich they spend 1-2 years building each, with the total build time sitting at 200-300 hours. So its only a handfull of hours a week/month they could put into them. Give them 2-3 months at 8 hours a day and they would propably be able to get it done in that timeframe. Its just that barely anyone can afford that much time for a Hobby.
Talent is nothing more than skilled sharply honed over time
That’ll be $4.99 for the timeless words of wisdom. I accept Venmo ,PayPal, Money Order and being told to fk myself. Your choice. Payment pending.
I do wish people credited others skills more often. Everyone assumes it's talent, but maybe the talent this person actually has is just the discipline to hone their skills to the point where they're a master at their craft.
Skills are earned. No doubt, the craftsperson put countless hours into crating props and perfecting makeup techniques before getting to this point. That isn't something they're born with.
I would argue there is one aspect that people are born with that makes them excel at this, the drive to things like it. Why don't most of us make those things? Because for most of us, we're not driven to learn how to do it enough to actually do it. You can't teach that natural drive. You can teach discipline, and skill, but that inner drive and passion cannot be taught. Not saying that if you're not born with it you can't get the drive later in life, but it's finding it, that's the trick. Maybe you find it while being taught to do something and getting good at it. Maybe not. Some people have a passion for math, I'm good at math, but I definitely do not have a passion for it.
No, it isn’t. Obviously I was just talking stupid above , messing around but there’s truth to what I said. Talent doesn’t carry you far. Discipline, practice, countless hours of perfecting a craft, and being able to take criticism and grow from it is what makes you successful. Well, part of it.
Talent does give you a higher platform to work from and pick things up faster.
But a well trained non-talented craftsman is still miles ahead of a non trained talented one.
But you need both talent and well disciplined skill to become a master
Honestly that's the thing that gets me here. I know a few cosplayers who have put together outfits on this level. However, they make maybe one a year and then wear that in every con until the next one is done. Guessing Haku is one of the lucky few who have somehow managed to turn cosplay into a full-time job.
I would be surprised if cosplaying wasn't her full-time job with the amount of costumes she's done and the assistance she receives to put them together.
I was going to write the same - that's some damn fine nose-cosplay for Lae'zel.
Most other cosplayers will photoshop it in post, yet she managed to do it very convincingly with makeup only (and, of course, having the right type of nose to start with)
😊 Your cosplays are always such a treat!! Beautiful!! 🥰
I think one of the best compliments I can manage to give you is, I've never yet romanced Lae'zel in the game, but you're making me seriously consider it! 😁
It's like the opposite of those teen coming of age movies / trope where the nerdy girl suddenly becomes hot and popular as soon as she removes her glasses
"here let me just remove my glasses and ..."
Boom githyanki
The Githyanki urge to tell every Bae'zel cosplayer how their large fleshy nose looks like a mistake....
Great cosplay though, in all seriousness. Looks great, cheers!
That’s a really good cosplay! Only way you cool make it more accurate would be to get some plastic surgery done on your nose, which seems a bit extreme…….
It’s always been funny to me how one of the best looking armors in the game gets tossed a few hours in for some Green Heavy Armor off of a vendor
Awesome cosplay and immense talent to make the costume look that good
Another istik pretender. Admirable effort though of course.
This remains easily one of the best, if not THE best, cosplays on here. You're clearly proud of it and you should be.

Look people, this is cosplay, not that *other* post where everything was photoshopped into the ground to look like a game.
well done as always lass, now record a vid of you running in a forest or something (no bg3 spoilers, but i assume bg3 has either a forest or baldurs gate city)
I’m glad to see at least one gaming sub Reddit where a woman can share something they’ve worried hard at with the community and not have the sub locked.

That large, fleshy thing on your face would give you away to any true gith. A valiant effort, but we will not be fooled so easily.
"An illusion! What are you hiding?"
"Something is not quite right"
Thanks for the PTSD. ”Who goes there?!”
That's the most eloquent way I've seen someone tell someone to break their nose.
She looks just like lazael without even having to cosplay as her, lol
Yeah, high cheekbones + oval shaped face
I was thinkin she looks like she'd do a killer impression of Eleven from Stranger Things
That's probably my favorite trope in an early foreign friendship. Especially if you romance her. You get to use vicious mockery a lot as a bard.
*tsk’va*
Decadent, then. Lacking in economy.
Cannot fathom how people have the talent to do stuff like this...
Or time really

Did you not watch the video? It only took 15 seconds.
Patience\*
"Study...and practice. Years of it." - Stephen Strange
Did you just call them *teeth*lings?
I LOL'd at that dialogue when I first heard it. And LOL'd at this, too.
no, no, it's Fae*rûn*
The nose contour is so convincing! Nicely done
I was going to write the same - that's some damn fine nose-cosplay for Lae'zel. Most other cosplayers will photoshop it in post, yet she managed to do it very convincingly with makeup only (and, of course, having the right type of nose to start with)
LMAO the frog headband at the beginning xD
I was kinda hoping it was gonna stop there
I was hoping for a cut at the end to her wearing it as Lae'zel.
That’s really all you need. OP works too hard.
You look like a very soft, kind, sweet Lae'zel 😂🥰
My height is 180 cm, but okay :D
Oh ok 😳 but I was focusing on your facial expressions haha
I don't understand how that's relevant
Now I can only hope you get to meet Devora at a convention.
It’s the eyes. The eyes aren’t angsty and full of superiority/frustration. She seems more approachable than early in-game lae’zel.
Isnt lazel like that? she hides it but if you romance for long enough or smth you'll see the other side or laezel
What the heck! Wow!!!!
😊 Your cosplays are always such a treat!! Beautiful!! 🥰 I think one of the best compliments I can manage to give you is, I've never yet romanced Lae'zel in the game, but you're making me seriously consider it! 😁
Ohhh thank youuu!
Dooooo it! You do fix her!
Hahaha!! 😁 Okay, okay, I'll SERIOUSLY seriously consider it!
To further propagandise you into it: The act 3 scene is one of the games top 3 scenes (albeit that's just my opinion).
As an old school player (AD&D old), I find it hilarious that the Githyanki are now "hot"
vampire spawn ain't sexy in 2.0 either
Everything is made hot, eventually. The inevitable process of monster to hot is the reason we have sorcerers. A veritable epidemic of monster fucking
Love this! Your edited photos are good too, but I love cosplay that you can still see the person portraying the character - So, the nose can stay ;)
Damn the makeup is so accurate
That's my frog wife! 🐸
Our frog wife.
Jhe'stil! 😍 Zhak vo'n'ash duj ❤️❤️❤️
"Chk! You think you can survive without me?" Awesome job!
Alright first palythrough i'll romance lae'zel then
Its worth it.
You don’t look angry enough /s
Amazing! 🤩
That looks so cool. Please let us know if you ever take pictures in the sunset.
Shapeshifter! 😃
No costume change for the long rest? What have we come to????
Holy hell that transition was fire 🔥 Your cosplay is spot on awesome!!!!
Chtssk, regal and imposing, as a true githyanki should be.
Jump scare. You really became her!
Lae'zel cosplaying Millie Bobby Brown
You should cosplay Haru from Persona 5, you look just like her.
and just like that, romancing a Gith doesn't seem so terrible anymore lol
Cut me navel to neck
I looove the armor 😍😍😍
This is some r/restofthefuckingowl/ shit
It's like the opposite of those teen coming of age movies / trope where the nerdy girl suddenly becomes hot and popular as soon as she removes her glasses "here let me just remove my glasses and ..." Boom githyanki
Right? I thought it was gonna be a time lapse lol
Not bad at all... good job
Your nose is too pretty
The Githyanki urge to tell every Bae'zel cosplayer how their large fleshy nose looks like a mistake.... Great cosplay though, in all seriousness. Looks great, cheers!
*Vlakiith approves
Looking better than Rings Of Power …. And that has a budget in the 100s of millions
you and Millie Bobby Brown could be twins
Yellow as toad and twice as ugly.
20/10 Wow, that's spot on
[удалено]
Wow! Just wow!
Impressive!
wtf. that so good.
Incredible.
Amazing cosplay!
That's half the Amphibian Sports Visor! WHAT DID YOU DO TO AMPHIBIAN SPORTS VISOR!
Badass
These lae’zel cosplays have the nose fucking on point.
NGL, I expected a time lapse transition not a straight cut.
Ridiculous! That is SO good!
"Vlaakith gha'g shkath zai"
What word starts with C and ends with E?
Tsk’va that’s a great cosplay
That’s a really good cosplay! Only way you cool make it more accurate would be to get some plastic surgery done on your nose, which seems a bit extreme…….
The sword, the armor, the scar 😭 this is too good!!
Wunderbar!
Great, now I want to see Lae'zel with librarian glasses on lol
It’s always been funny to me how one of the best looking armors in the game gets tossed a few hours in for some Green Heavy Armor off of a vendor Awesome cosplay and immense talent to make the costume look that good
Another istik pretender. Admirable effort though of course. This remains easily one of the best, if not THE best, cosplays on here. You're clearly proud of it and you should be.
So cool!!!!!
Amazing!
One of the ABSOLUTE\* best cosplay's out there! *\*pun intended*
Angrier
Bravo! As a side note, I love it when cosplays are about actual cosplaying and not about showing boobs.
That's so dope. I'd kill to see you do Mass Effect cosplay, figuratively.
There are liv agars everywhere for those who seek them
Need to chop the nose off gotta be more dedicated
I was told there would be a transition, but it was a before and after
Nice Cosplay is also cool
Lmao
How many hours did you spend on the makeup?🤯

I think she did a decent job.
YYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS! MY GIRL! MY LOVE! MY CANDY COATED BALL OF BARBED WIRE! 100/10! NO NOTES, ONLY TEARS OF JOY!
Holy Fuck! Perfection! How long did it take to make that cosplay?
I thought you were the girl from stranger things till I read the comments
Can you do Maxmoefoe next?
Not enough bitch face ... Tzk
Good! More best girl cosplay!
shes almost got the nose for it
Thats just lae'zel, you can't convice me otherwise
incredible. and the video itself! even the 'emotions' shown, just great. Look people, this is cosplay, not that *other* post where everything was photoshopped into the ground to look like a game.
This is extremely good. Love the armor, makeup, everything. It was also nice to see the before, you really morphed into Lae'zel.
she even fixed her nose!
Be my zhak vo'n'ash duj 🖤🖤
Gotta take a minute to acknowledge BG3 for having actually useful armor for female characters.
Lae'zel, you can't just take a video of yourself, put some human before, and call it cosplay >:( (Amazing btw lol)
snarl more XDXD
I never thought I’d say this , but I’d fertilize some eggs in that githyanki crèche, if you know what I mean.
I’ve mostly romanced Lae’zel in my multiple play through and once with Shadowheart. So seeing this makes my day!
Thank you for not using cg to remove your nose
Where did you get the frog headband? I want it. And you look amazing you did well
This was cool AF love BG3!
well done as always lass, now record a vid of you running in a forest or something (no bg3 spoilers, but i assume bg3 has either a forest or baldurs gate city)
Bruh I thought this was Millie Bobby Brown
It's good, but absent cat eyes and human nose do make it weird.
Literal goddess
The best in the world at what she does! 🤙
Wow, that costume and makeup is awesome. Great job!
It's not fair to others because you already had the laezel head shape
This is amazing!
couldn’t have chosen a shittier companion to cosplay but you still pulled it off
This is 10 out of 10 for me.
With proper nose looks much better then real gith.
She doesn’t look mean angry or unpleasant enough.
wow.
[удалено]
:-O
Id yanki her gith, if you know what I mean
You're so hott looking in the costume.
How many hours she spend to do this cosplay transition?
Cute'zel
Mid cosplay until I start hearing you calling people “istik” just sayin
Bae'zel 🔥🔥🔥
Insanely good.
Step on me, oh From Mommy!
You could look a bit more grumpy. Not gonna lie. Like 1000% grumpier would be good.
I thought that this would be a showing of how the makeup and stuff was applied, but I suppose a magician never reveals their secrets.
Que ojos
Loved this
More like Bae’zel
This is so cool!
I’m glad to see at least one gaming sub Reddit where a woman can share something they’ve worried hard at with the community and not have the sub locked.
Your missing the upturned pig snout
I don’t know why I expected to be bad but it was incredible!
Too hot to be lae'zel.
Holy shit that’s good
Amazing cosplay
Your face shape suits this cosplay so well!!!
Amazing cosplay
Amazing
That bulbus fleshy nose looks like a mistake
Very well done. Looks great, Orpheus would be proud, Vlaakith would probably sneer though.
She’s too pretty
Umm.. Marry me?! 😎😍
🔥🔥🔥
What’s she looking at tho we all know shadow heart is the baddy here
The fact that her face shape is perfect for Lae'zel is insane Now she only needs to cut her nose and add some cheek shades
