There are what looks to be dozens if not hundreds of intricately created pieces that accumulate to the overall cosplay. The Dunwich Crafter was able to expertly idealize and craft every bit of prominent armor or barbaric accessories like the spiked pauldrons which really ties the outfit together.

Even more impressive is the epic Particle Cannon that was made for the cosplay which is a mirror image of the one in game featuring the skull of a beast covering the front portion of the gun.

The design is a breathtaking example of commitment as the cosplayer is decked from head to toe with extremely detailed plates of armor and fur lined clothing.
