Cosplayer, artist, actress, and geekypants AmberSkies Cosplay looks amazing cosplaying as her genderbent version of Dr Lazarus from the beloved sci-fi parody/homage movie, Galaxy Quest! She did an incredible job on the special effects makeup and the costume, both are super accurate. Tony Julius Photography shot these wonderful photos.
The Galaxy Quest movie is about the washed up stars of a 1970s sci-fi show who now have to play their roles as the real thing when an alien race needs their help. The aliens believed the cast’s heroic on-screen dramas were historical documents of real-life adventures and thus hilarity and adventure ensues. They have to defend both Earth and the alien race from an evil reptilian warlord. Dr. Lazarus is the scientist of the NSEA-Protector in the Galaxy Quest series. He is portrayed by fictional actor Alexander Dane, who is portrayed by Alan Rickman, RIP.
Anyway, now that you’ve had the Galaxy Quest refresher, enjoy this epic genderbent Dr Lazarus cosplay! Never Give up, Never Surrender!
“By Grabthar’s hammer, by the Sons of Warvan, you shall be avenged!”. -Dr. Lazarus
