While I admire the intelligence levels in this anime, Ryuk still has to be my favourite character from the show. If you haven't watched Death Note yet, do yourself a favour and go look it up.
This is my first attempt at a cosplay in GW2. It may seem strange that I would use a Charr instead of a Human or Norn for this, so let me explain the reasons behind my decision:
-- Posture. Ryuk has a hunched back which none of the other races have.
-- Face. That toothy grin that Ryuk always has, not to mention the wide open yellow eyes.
-- Hair. While this hairstyle is a little too big, it hides the horns, and I don't believe that Humans or Norns have hairstyles that stick up like this.
Even though Ryuk wears all black, I tried not to lose all of the detail in the armor pieces. So if you can ignore the white wagging tail and claws coming out of the boots I think I got pretty close.
Bonus points to anyone who knows the relevance of the mini. ;)
