What kind of cosplay did he have? Doherty created a suit in the style of the character Jorge-052. He is a SPARTAN and a heavy weapons specialist.
In the games, Jorge is 2.23 meters tall and weighs 145 kilos in his suit, making him a real colossus.
Maker took 14 months for the suit
What do we know about his costume? Internet journalist Jake Lucky said, “this guy” (without naming Doherty) built his own Halo SPARTAN. The suit weighs 25 kilograms and makes him appear taller than 2.13 meters. The man worked on this suit for 14 months.
A video from Lucky featuring Jorge in costume went viral and reached 1.7 million views.
Doherty himself, who has almost no reach on Twitter, says he is about 2.10 meters tall in the suit – slightly shorter than what Lucky claimed.
How is the suit received? It is generally receiving fantastic feedback. Users on Twitter and reddit are celebrating the dedication of the player.
Overall, cosplay is extremely popular in the scene, and people who master it and devote so much time to their hobby are often admired and revered.
