We have a truly special piece of fan art today, with the embodiment of an armor set about as close to the game as it can get! This may be the best piece of cosplay we’ve seen in a while, if not ever for D4, so let’s take a look!
Cold Iron, Many Skulls
We’re back to the very first season of Diablo 4 with this one. The Awoken Coldiron armor set was part of the Battle Pass in the Season of the Malignant, and now it’s come to life! Alejandra Perez, aka anhyracosplay, created this massively impressive cosplay piece. It features not only the armor set itself, but the Coldiron axe as well.
As anhyracosplay explains, there are almost 100 skulls in the full set and weapon. It was all created with eva foam and latex, as well as some 3D printed pieces. The project was intended for 2023’s Blizzcon, but didn’t quite make it. Here are some more details by the artist herself:
“I originally started this cosplay for BlizzCon 2023, but due to personal reasons, I couldn’t travel and had to put it on hold. I’m glad I picked it back up—this project taught me so much! I started everything using traditional techniques, and along the way, I learned about 3D sculpting and printing, so it’s a full mixed media armor now. Hundreds of skulls, some tears, latex, filament, foam… and here it is. I still can’t believe it didn’t end up in the pile of doomed cosplays that never got finished 😂
🔸 I modeled the face and horns on Blender
🔸 Printed everything using my Bambu Lab A1 and using their metalli PLA!
🔸I used foam and worbla for the helmet base and sculpted details with foam clay
🔸Primed everything with woodglue
🔸Painted with Vallejo Acrylics” – anhyracosplay

And here’s what the set looks like in-game, for comparison:
So, what do you think? Actual best Diablo 4 cosplay ever?
