The cosplayer behind Maul Cosplay is turning the gaming world upside down with his amazing rendition of the beloved protagonist, Geralt of Rivia, from the award-winning The Witcher video game series.

For comparison, this is the character Ben is emulating:

And this is Ben as Geralt of Rivia IRL:

This handsomely gruff Witcher (a monster hunter for hire) survived many battles, both internal and external, to become the man he is today. With a hard-to-match fighting style and an even harder head, this ruthless warrior won the hearts of gamers all over the world with his loyalty and his smooth courting skills. A ladies man to the T, Geralt of Rivia is a character that is often represented at conventions of all caliber but none have truly captured his essence quite like Maul Cosplay.

Don’t take my word for it, check him out yourself. With fine craftsmanship with the armor and weapon set, Ben also uses his extensive knowledge of special effects makeup to bring those rough characteristics to the real world. And it … it is truly stunning.

This talented cosplayer has also produced other amazing works such as Corvo (Dishonored 1 & 2), Darth Maul, Soldier 76 (Overwatch), Metal Gear Solid’s Snake, Khal Drogo, and more! You can check him out at his official page here.
