Regular readers of this blog know we're big fans of cosplay—regular folks dressing up like superheroes, game characters and other pop-culture figures.

So when we saw Larry Smith as a fierce gender-bending Storm, we just had to share it.

The images, posted this week on the Gay Geeks Facebook group, are from the 2012 New York Comic Con.

But good cosplay is timeless.

It turns out Larry doesn't just put cosplay outfits together for himself. If you're looking for an eye-catching custom costume for your next convention, Halloween, or just to spice up your workweek, reach out him at Beyond Creative Costumes.

Below, check out Larry in mid-transformation.
