I don’t know what is about PAX, but it always seems to lure out some of the greatest cosplay. On the west coast at PAX Prime, we ran into the Turian sniper Garrus Vakarian. Now, in the wake of PAX East, we have found another hero of Mass Effect 2. He talks fast and kills even faster. He’s a walking medical guide book for space STDs. His xenospecies studies range from urban to agrarian – He’s the very model of a scientist Salarian. He’s Mordin Solus!
The hardest part of this costume is clearly the mask – which was painstakingly created by hand:
Hats off to the dedicated cosplayers who continue to bring the world of Mass Effect into our own. There’s no challenge too great, no character too small. From Cerberus crewman number two to Shepard him/herself, fans have no qualms tackling monstrous projects – All in the name of fan love. The man behind the mask, Danosuke, created N7 armor and Tali’s envirosuit for PAX Prime 2010, but this alien was a whole other undertaking. From the impressive latex work to the intricacies of the hard armor, it’s difficult to keep yourself from staring.
Danosuke has also issued an unofficial challenge to all other costume aficionados, claiming that Mordin’s lack of popularity and the obvious difficulty of the costume construction will ward off those faint of heart. I, however, have faith in you, internet. Give it your best shot and see if you can come with anything even half as accurate as this latest piece of living fan art.Latex is nobody’s friend.
Except for Danosuke.
Know of a great video game costume that’s worthy of the spotlight?

STD cases on the rise! More and more people are living with H…Meet others positive at pozmingle. com. 19 million new people are infected with STD each year. Are you one of them? However, once you settle down and learn the facts, you’ll realize that having STD is not the end of the world, and it’s not the end of your social life.
Wow! I am very flattered by this article. Thank you!
We try ^__^
Shock!!!! My friend who is living with Herpes told me a report from CNN said that the world’s largest STD dating and support site STDslove. com which is powered by plenty of fish now has more than 1,100,000 members. Also, more than 80% of members on the site are good looking and sexy.
The report also indicated that STD rates soar worldwide and CDC had granted CSU $1.9M for HIV education to lower the rates of HIV transmission.
the costume was great but it would have looked better if someone thinner was in it wish I was there
I was the one wearing that costume, and i am about as thin as it gets. Some times you have to make compromises.
AWESOME!!!!
Sould be outfitted for a female. The body type of a man is too broad and thick.

Lack of popularity? Really? Mordin was definitely one of my favorite characters. I wish more people could recognize the value oi a brilliant, yet cold, logical scientist/killer, who leaves the unnecessary articles out of his speech. Fucking fantastic!
i can’t stop smiling, this is brilliant.
although i am disappointed he didn’t reshape his legs, lazy….
Hah! Yeah I’ll get the sledge hammer and smash his shins next time.
