Overwatch cosplayer always hits her mark as seductive Widowmaker Mikomi Hokina, Blizzard EntertainmentOverwatch\u2019s resident villainess and sniper magnifique Widowmaker has inspired cosplayers across the globe, but this cosplay snipes the competition in style. Overwatch\u2019s Talon sniper and spider queen, Widowmaker, is the literal definition of femme fatale. Oozing seduction, the deadly one-shot-wonder is a cosplayer\u2019s dream. We\u2019ve seen one artist perfectly recreate the villainess\u2019 iconic sniper rifle, while another chose to strut her stuff in the character\u2019s Pale Serpent Lunar New Year skin. In an equally laborious process to her colleagues, Belgian cosplayer Mikomi Hokina has brought the character to life with her stunning cosplay, and it\u2019ll blow your mind (not literally, thankfully.) Overwatch Widowmaker cosplay snipes the competition Telling Dexerto that she \u201cdecided to go for an Overwatch cosplay because it\u2019s a game that my cousins play a lot and we\u2019re rather close,\u201d she decided on an Overwatch cosplay as \u201cthey know I\u2019m a cosplayer and this is a good choice for some super awesome fanservice for them!\u201d Opting for the Talon terror was an easy choice, as she describes Widowmaker as \u201csimply amazing. From the design, the personality, to the complexity of the outfit, she is stunning. I love powerful characters, and she really has that lone bada** vibe that I cannot get enough of!\u201d Plowing over 300 hours for work into the outfit, describing it as a \u201cstraight up 9\/10 for me in terms of difficulty,\u201d she notes that \u201cit\u2019s an ambitious one because regardless of the appearance. While there isn\u2019t a LOT of big impressive armor parts, there is a lot of work and steps involved that you may not see at first. Many people neglect the bodypaint aspect too, which took about 6h every time I had it done\u201d \u2013 and that was with the help of friend and MUA, Valeria Cosaria! The results, however, are absolute perfection. From that spectacular ebony ponytail snaking down her back, to her icy blue skin and veiny tattoos, literally every detail mirrors Blizzard\u2019s original design. Sporting that iconic violet jumpsuit and, of course, the French sharpshooter\u2019s Widow\u2019s Kiss rife, we can\u2019t get enough of Mikomi\u2019s Widowmaker.

Calling the visor and rifle the \u201ctoughest part\u201d of the cosplay, she states \u201cthe Gun is clearly what took the most time. About 200 hours of 3D printing, straight up 50 hours of sanding the pieces, glueing them together with double part epoxy, sanding again, countless layers of primer, painting and varnishing. \u201cThe result is extremely satisfying, and if I dare say, the best prop I have ever built? It weighs 7kg total and can be placed into Rifle mode OR Sniper mode! The barrel extends, the shrouds open, the scope snaps in place. It\u2019s a very modular weapon allowing for a great surprising effect!\u201d Continuing on to Widow\u2019s iconic visor, she notes that \u201cthe headpiece was also 3D printed. Gems were moulded with colorant and epoxy resin. Two alligator pinches are glued to attach it onto the wig.\u201d Both pieces are shown off in this stunning photo by MH Photography. View this post on Instagram This begs the question, however: will we see more Overwatch cosplays? While Mikomi has already taken to the streets as Ashe, D.Va, and Mercy, she has plans for a few more Blizzard-inspired pieces. \u201cTracer and Brigitte have already been shot, so those will be coming out in December 2021 and January 2022! I\u2019m hyped to showcase them!\u201d Considering this spectacular rendition of Widowmaker, we can\u2019t wait to see Mikomi\u2019s spin on both Tracer and Brig \u2013 especially the latter as she\u2019s a stark contrast to anything we\u2019ve seen before! Until then, though, keep your eyes peeled for a few more images of the French sniper queen on Mikomi\u2019s Twitter!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
