Jessica Nigri is one of the more famous cosplayers in America, having built up quite the following through her various social media platforms. Nigri got her start in the cosplaying game by wearing a "Sexy Pikachu" costume she threw together for the 2009 SDCC. It was little more than a lightning bolt and ears, but she was hooked from that point forward.

From that humble beginning, she began to work on numerous costumes, most of which pay homage to her favorite video game characters from franchises like Borderlands, Uncharted, Overwatch, and World of Warcraft, which is where she's made her most impressive designs.

She has two WOW cosplays that not only put most other cosplayers to shame, but they also feature a rather sexy take on the character. She constructed a gender-bent costume for Deathwing the Destroyer, and while she worked on the design, she commissioned it from artist Zach Fisher to promote the game at BlizzCon 2015.

After that, she must have picked up a few techniques, because her very best costume to date, has got to be of Sindragosa in human form. This costume was designed completely by Nigri, and if you don't believe it, you can check out her Cosplay Creation video, where she goes over every detail of design and construction.
