Having known Danquish only online through multiple cosplayers sharing his work, I was excited to meet him this past weekend even if it was extremely briefly. Monika introduced me to him when we were both hanging around her booth with Riki. At that time I believe Danquish was wearing his Sub-Zero cosplay from Mortal Kombat and it looked just incredible. When the weekend ended, I took it upon myself to finally go more in-depth and learn about other cosplays he's done. Danquish is a cosplayer from Canada and lives by his own mantra of "Because Cosplay". Dan is truly an individual who loves cosplay for what it is. He exercises and creates intricate outfits with that saying behind it. With that being said, let's take a look at some of his cosplays rather than focus on one!
At first glance through Danquish's cosplays, he definitely has a passion for the Mortal Kombat franchise. He's cosplayed as some of the various ninja characters multiple times at conventions. Some of them received different versions in the case of Scorpion. His Sub-Zero has a mix of black and blue fabric colors with straps arm bands. I also saw in pics from last weekend that he had a little ice ball prop dangling from his finger. This allows him to do poses around the character's fighting style. This is actually something I tried to do with Greninja's ninja stars but failed to do so.
Danquish has also done cosplays from Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden Z Yaiba (alongside Jessica Nigri as Miss Monday) and GI Joe among other franchises. Many of these series feature well abled male characters which fit Dan's physique quite well. There's also a super badass armored cosplay he did which you'll see a photo of down below. I only wish I had gotten the chance to talk with him more since he seems like such an awesome guy from what I've heard of him from other cosplayers. He's someone who truly loves cosplay for the creativity aspect as well as making lifelong friends along the way. I hope you guys like his work and maybe one day I'll reach his level ^_^.
