On-point cosplay of Aela from Skyrim transports you back to Tamriel

Again and again we report on cosplays from characters The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Given the open-world role-playing game’s popularity (and numerous re-releases across all platforms), it’s unsurprising that nearly eleven years after its original release, many Skyrim cosplays continue to appear on platforms such as Reddit are to be found. That such a popular character as that Huntress Aela seen as a common motif shouldn’t come as a big surprise. About the character’s adaptation by the cosplayer Beth Hogdson we reported recently. Now, however, another image of their interpretation has appeared, which comes frighteningly close to Bethesda’s original for several reasons.

Small details with a big effect

The high level of detail in the cosplay is not particularly surprising. Both the make-up and the armor parts are visually at the highest level. The vast experience that Hogdson brings to the table seems to be paying off.

About her cosplay of Lady Vashj from World of Warcraftwe have already reported, for example. Almost more striking than the costume and the high level of detail is the camera perspective. After all, this is strikingly reminiscent of the first-person perspective from which many experience the Elder Scrolls games. For years, a lot of memes have been circulating through the internet, which address the more or less successful dialogue scenes of the series from precisely this perspective
