Granite State Comic Con 2023 Saturday Gallery Part 4

Things slowed down Saturday afternoon once the Cosplay Contest participants were all lined up and paraded out of the Armory to the ballroom for the event. Kudos to all the contestants, in particular outofthetidepoolstudios, portraying Charon from the game Hades in this gallery, for wearing stilts in one of their first contests.  They handled it very well.

The second Jesus Christ cosplayer on Saturday is in this gallery, along with Adventures of Clever‘s amazing cosplay of Paul Atreides from the recent movie Dune, and the wonderful cosplay guest captainkayceecosplay, coming back to a New England con for the first time since moving to the West Coast years ago.

But the one cosplay I fanboyed over the most is the mashup of Harley Quinn and Pat Patriot by missnikkimuffin. She specializes in New England sports team versions of Harley Quinn, but this one takes the crown out of all the excellent mashups she has done. If you are a fan of the Atlanta Falcons, maybe I should provide a content warning for what is one the back of the vest.

Cosplayers in this final gallery from Saturday include Adventures of Clever, bad_phoenix_wolf, sophiacormier, the_painted_oracle, sycosplay, Mink the Satyr Cosplay, outofthetidepoolstudios, Moonie Warrior Cosplay, paige_a_watts, cozyvangogh, Jessica Mercy, mmgbpg, c4tb0v.16, missnikkimuffin, jrzy_devi1_cos, biscuits._cosplays, sk8mood_, audrinator.ttv, captainkayceecosplay, deadlysymmetry, the_namaslay_cosplay, suitupprops, j.jestercosplay, and many more.

We now use Smugmug to present cosplay photo galleries and will post all photos there, with a link to each gallery in its own gallery article. This will allow us to give you higher resolution images to download — still for free.

To view the entire gallery, just click on the image below. If you are pictured in any of our galleries, feel free to download the images and use them non-commercially on social media, with appropriate credit.

If you like our work and want to show your appreciation, feel free to tip us at Ko-fi or become a patron on Patreon.

Also, High-res images for sale is back!

If you are pictured in any of our galleries and want the high-resolution (3200 pixels at its widest by 300dpi) download for yourself, we can make it available via a private Smugmug link, for $10 per image. Just send an email to editor AT nerdcaliber.com. Currently limited to only photos taken by FirstPerson Shooter (aka Rodney Brown).

This was written during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike (the WGA strike was settled the night before I wrote this). Without the labor of the actors currently on strike, many of the characters being cosplayed here wouldn’t exist. Please consider donating to the Entertainment Community Fund here.
