This Self-Taught Polish Cosplayer Can Turn Herself Into Literally Anyone, And Here’s 77 Of Her Best Transformations
Cosplayers - like other artists - have a learning curve they have to go through if they want to achieve greatness, but it seems that Justyna Sosnowska has found a shortcut. Don't get me wrong; I'm not saying Sosnowska (also known as Sosenka) hasn't put in the hard work, but that the combination of her incredible dedication and talent has allowed her to achieve stunning results in just 3 years.
Sosenka has a Landscape Architecture degree and her interest in SFX makeup started only in 2014, as a hobby. It quickly evolved into something much bigger, though. "I fell in love with what I do," Sosenka writes. She also thinks she has learned a lot of things along the way: "From various technical methods of mapping the images of the characters to strengthening certain personality traits such as patience, precision, succession in pursuit of the goal." This eventually led her to trying cosplay, and in this area the Pole realized her true potential.
From simple, yet perfectly executed 30-minute cosplay challenges to painstakingly intricate full-body costumes, Sosenka isn't afraid to try new things or portray a wide array of characters. Scroll down to check out what earned her over 300K Facebook followers and upvote your favorite transformations.

I try not to think about that too hard - and I don't know that Tolkien did either, after considering the full implications of orc lineage, although it makes for good drama in the Hobbit book

I looked at all of them and I am floored by your talent. It looks like most of them are a lot of work, but it also looks like fun. You have the perfect face for this and the talent to match. You are a very beautiful woman in RL. I bet Angelina Jolie is upset, she has to give up the crown. And your Johnny Depp is amazing. If I met the "regular guy one" I would flirt my a*s off. You could stand in for ANY famous person or character, you should work in movies. If only I could erase 25 years off my face and body. Oh, to be young and beautiful again. I miss it. And I'm only 48, but I still have beautiful skin (except for my hands). TAKE EXTRA TIME TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR SKIN, EVERY DAY, 2-3 TIMES A DAY!! HEAD TO TOE AND FACE TO HANDS!! YOU ARE AWESOME AND AMAZING AT WHAT YOU DO!!! I have NEVER seen anything like this before. AMAZING!!!

Maybe the book wasn't read in English, in which case this would be a very logical pronunciation of Hermione in another language, and therefore, be how it was transliterated.

My guess as to the cause of that is probably all the contouring. I've been looking and find quite a few of her pictures look a bit animated. Don't get me wrong, they're still amazing though!

hahaah yes, but I'm certain many of these FX pieces and parts took far longer than a day to fabricate. Loads of work and incredible detail. You can really tell she spends a lot of time and money putting these looks together.
