Insane, Extremely Realistic Turalyon Cosplay

Recommended Posts

While we don't usually cover too many cosplays, this one really stands out as it took me about 7 attempts to actually discern whether this is an actual person or just a really well done version of one of those AI face replacements - but no, it's an actual real-life cosplay and it looks flawless.

Danny McFly (Dannymcfly_cosplay) pulled off this incredible piece of, well art, as this might be the closest any cosplay has gotten to the source material, at least in my opinion. The project took about 2 years to complete, on and off, and there are prosthetics involved for some of the facial features:

Here are a few comments from Danny himself, from the reddit thread:

pretty much 2 years, but to be fair it was on and off, with other projects in between. Yeah the facial details are actually prosthetics and the beard is hand laid ?
...
beard took the longest to apply, since its a hand laid beard, and i have to redo it every time i do this costume (same with the scars)
...
i always strive to make something that you can put on a movie set without looking out of place. Thanks ?
- Danny McFly

And here are some additional images, which made me finally believe it's actually a cosplay and not just a fancy photoshop edit of in-game assets:

 

Make sure to go ahead and check out Danny's other cosplays and maybe even leave a comment on this one to show our appreciation!

This looks great but it has more to do with Photoshop than it does anything else.

im curious why you think that. Granted, there is a glow over the light up parts, which is due to the fact that you cant really photograph LEDs well. Thats the only photoshop in this picture tho (outside of small beauty retouches)

Additional images are always welcome! For me it'd be interesting to know how much time it takes to get into the entire getup, like from scratch until it's camera-ready.

And yea once again it's really damn impressive, especially since I'm not much of a cosplay guy myself, they usually look fake to me (even for a lot of movies tbh) but this one really stands out, so serious amazing worth there and congratulations.

between 3 to 4 hours, where putting on the armor doesnt take too long (around 30 mins) because of the way its built. 
Prosthetic makeup and beard application are always one off, as once you take them off they are garbage. But thats what makes it look good :D 

Heres a pic thats up close :)

I think that for the same reason the last picture invites no question whatsoever as to whether or not it's a photo or CGI.

There's nothing to prove 🙂

The only reason there's a question is because of editing. The last picture is representative of what an unedited photo looks like.

Nice cosply tho.

i might start a gofundme or similar so i can afford to go to blizzcon next time for the competition, but honestly i am just happy that people like the work i do. Im not in it for the money, since it costs way more than it brings, i literally just enjoy doing this and making people happy with it :D

Yea makes sense when you see it up close like that, both the beard and scars really do look flawless.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
