Cosplay Showcase: 89Styles' Vol'Jin!

My initial glimpse at this cosplay just shocked me beyond all words when it was shared by Jessica a few weeks back. Cosplayer 89Styles has done an INCREDIBLE JOB with this Vol'Jin from the Warcraft series. More specifically, it looks to be his look/model from World of Warcraft. There's certainly a lot going on here so I'll do my best to walk you all through it piece by piece. For starters, Styles has gloves and shoes on to help replicate the troll like hands and feet that the character has. These were colored in a much darker shade of blue in comparison to the lighter shade that covers most of his skin. Directly above each of these pieces are bracers that have green fur sticking out which most likely acts as a cushion so that they're comfortable to wear. The main portion of these bracers have an amazing wood like texture painted in. Various straps and beads decorate them as well.

You can view one strap of bones/teeth alongside one of his arms but the other has a lot more action going on. Mainly in the form of a massive layered shoulder-piece. With this section, you can see multiple tusks extending outward along with their massive size. The central piece here is colored with a very light green color alongside a skull that covers up majority of the piece. The section seen behind is decorated with rune like patterns also in green. Simple brown pants and a sleeveless shirt are viewable in addition to a belt along the waist. You also get a good look at the buckle that's dead center in this area.

Styles also has a necklace with feather like pieces on the bottom and multiple gems too! I'm going to guess that lots of prosthetic (is that the right word here?) was used in order to achieve Vol'Jin's facial features. Holy smokes did Styles do one hell of a job here. The tusks poking outside the mouth, the super long ears with piercings, and the face paint is just so spot on! There's also the impressive beard work and mohawk hair too! Bright red coloring with hints of white added in.

On his back, you have what looks to be almost like a satchel housing what I can assume is the former Warchief's weapon of choice. I can definitely see a spear in this cluster of items and possibly a staff since Vol'Jin has priest like qualities to him. There's also a small raptor plush strapped in which I can only assume is a reference to the character's mount in the game. Lots of leather work must have been utilized for the satchel in addition to other straps seen in the cosplay. Seriously you guys are gonna want to check out this incredible outfit in the other pics down below!
