SKSProps, which stands for Steven K. Smith Props, is one of the most talented male cosplayers on the planet. This is a guy who is so good at making things, he does it for a living as a prop producer in Kansas City, Missouri. Eventually, he took his love for computer games to a new level by cosplaying as his favorite characters.

He started cosplaying in 2012 after working for 15 years as a freelance illustrator, and he hasn't looked back since. He's supplied props to films, but the ones he keeps for himself are easily his most impressive work.

It's impossible to choose which of his incredible cosplays is the best, so two are going to be highlighted. The first is his character from Dead Space, which he crafted from scratch. The character's armor is perfectly detailed, and thanks to the addition of some LEDs, he looks exactly like the character from the games.

His second, and likely most impressive project was of an Orc from Warcraft. For this one, he did a top-to-bottom character design, which includes fur-lined armor, weapons, and brilliant makeup and prosthetics that make him look as if he jumped out of a computer screen, and headed out to the nearest con.
