Incredible Last of Us 2 Cosplay Looks Just Like Ellie | Game Rant
Some cosplays are impressive for their scale, others for the high level of detail that they incorporate into their design, while others still are renowned for the incredible likeness the cosplayer has with the character they are mimicking. For The Last of Us fans, cosplays of series protagonist Ellie have been abundant, but a recent cosplay posted to Twitter may be the best lookalike of the bunch, with The Last of Us character being represented with incredible finesse.
The Last of Us 2 was certainly a polarizing game. Critics raved about the sequel to Naughty Dog's story-driven survival shooter, but some controversial decisions by the game's writers upset a large subset of fans, and caused disagreements among its audience. This hasn't stopped those who enjoyed game expressing their fandom, with highly creative cosplays and fanart being abundant for the sequel. Fans have shown off a variety of different interpretations of characters, with one Last of Us fan creating a clicker cosplay that could be straight out of the games.
Ellie is perhaps one of the most popular characters for cosplayers, with a huge selection of cosplays that have varying levels of resemblance to The Last of Us protagonist. This latest one, from veteran Ellie cosplayer Sarah Miller, may be the best likeness to the character yet, with many fans double-taking when they realized the image posted to Twitter wasn't an in-game screenshot. Equipped with a bloodied machete and a backpack full of arrows, Miller's intense stare off-camera captures Ellie's seriousness in the Naughty Dog sequel, her low pose indicative of the sneaky gameplay the game is known for.
What adds to the authenticity of the cosplay is the photography, credited to Chris.Nakhle on Instagram, which captures the lighting and saturation of The Last of Us 2 perfectly, helping to create the illusion of an in-game screenshot. Sarah Miller has a large selection of photos of her Ellie cosplays on her Twitter account, and all of them are impressive renditions of the character, however, this image in particular seems to really capture Ellie's personality and mental state in The Last of Us 2.
It's always entertaining to see cosplays that go above and beyond expectations, and its impressive to see Sarah Miller use her expressiveness to capture Ellie's character rather than using tricks or software to create an exact likeness. Whether The Last of Us fans create high concept artwork or incredible cosplays, they always manage to amaze, managing to turn turn the gritty post-apocalyptic world from the games into something entirely new.
The Last of Us 2 is available now for PS4.
