Usually, when I try to execute a before and after picture, I’m pretty much just the same person other than a bit of lipstick maybe and combed hair, but even then I still look like I’ve been dragged through a hedge backwards. Maybe I’m doing it all wrong and obviously need some tips from the very apparent cosplaying professional Penberly.
On the left we see Penberly, as she is known on Instagram, looking rather normal in her comfy attire and seemingly make-up free skin - however, that is in stark contrast to the hip-firing thief and gang leader Elizabeth Caledonia “Calamity” Ashe fromOverwatchor just Ashe for short.

The midwestern cosplayer has Ashe down to perfection, even the viper weapon that Ashe carries with her is an exact replica. Like most cosplayers, they usually create their own clothes for events and looking at Penberly’s Ashe outfit, you will notice how meticulously well made it is - paying close attention to detail in every stitch and carefully chosen material used.

From the bright red lipstick that matches her tie, black eyelined eyes and platinum hair its obvious that Penberly was born to play Ashe, but from looking at her other cosplaying images, it seems that she can turn her hand to many other different personas. There’s a lot of cosplaying action going on from the superhero manga seriesMy Hero Academiaas well as Winry Rockbell cosplay fromFullmetal Alchemist,Marvel’s Black Cat, and some pretty funny tongue in cheek cosplaying asTaylor Swiftor a really goofy one of Cinderella fromWreck-it Ralph 2.
Happy to see my hoop shoot trophies coming in handy after so many years Happy Friday, guys!! Enjoy this first Tik Tok of mine, and enjoy your day today! . . . #tiktok #tiktokmemes #whodoilooklike #taylorswift #swift #meme #vines #cosplay #tiktokcosplay #cosplays #cosplayersofinstagram #girl #cosplaygirl #cosplayergirl #musicly #babyimyours #lookalike #sidebyside #makeup #fashion #vine #socialmedia

Cinderella Selfie ✨ from Disney’s Wreck-it Ralph 2! . I finally was able to see Wreck-it Ralph 2 in theaters over #thanksgiving break ~ I can not believe how much I love it ;-; I highly recommend seeing it on the big screen! It’s more than worth it (and yes :p stay until after the credits) ~ . Here’s a special shoutout to @oonaraoo a fav Disney animator that worked on the princess scenes in the movie ~ I felt so lucky to work on our princess group inspired by him, and to capture reimagined best girl, Cindy :) thank you! . . . #disney #princess #disneyprincess #wreckitralph2 #wreckitralph #ralphbreakstheinternet #pixar #cosplayersofinstagram #cosplay #cosplaygirl #cosplayer #cosplays #cinderella #sidebyside #funny #reddit #disneymovie #princesses #facecharacter #disneyworld #disneyland #jewelry #selfie #mulan

To check out more of Penberly’s amazing collage of cosplaying skills, you can visit her onInstagram- some images are slightly NSFW, just as a heads up.
Recently, Blizzard announced thatBaptistewill be joining the rest of the heroes inOverwatchin the next few weeks, which will make that the 30th character to join the team-based multiplayer first-person title since its launch.
If collecting figures are your thing and you’re a fan ofOverwatch, then you’re in luck as Blizzard and Hasbro have joined forces to transform theOverwatchsquad intoaction figures. So far the line up is Ana, Pharah, Mercy, Soldier 76, Reyes (Reaper), Lucio, Reinhardt, Tracer, and Sombra - but I’m sure more will be added in time.
Overwatchis available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC
