Danquish began creating costumes when he was still very young, and now, years later, he creates amazing cosplay in his home in Seattle, Washington. He lists his interests as Ninja, Shiba Inu, Cyborgs, and Giant Robots, which is clear if you've seen any of his work, which often deals with these subjects.

Looking through his portfolio, it's clear he loves Mortal Kombat, and dressing up like a number of characters from the game franchise, but his real love went into creating a completely custom-built Sam Gideon he made in honor of the video game Vanquish.

His most impressive build has got to be that of his Augmented Reaction Suit based on the game, and if you look at this thing, it appears completely real and believable. Danquish made the whole thing from top to bottom, which includes the helmet, full-suit body armor, and customizations on the weapon to make it character-accurate.

Danquish's suit is a perfect replica of the one seen in the game. It features lit-up areas with LEDs, an excellent paint job, making it look well-worn and battle-hardened, and while it may look like a heavy suit of armor, the man can move in it. Check out this video of him showing off his build.
