The art of cosplaying has been around for quite some time, but has usually been mostly fan-driven. Blizzard Entertainment has taken a special interest in helping out those who wish to cosplay as their favorite Heroes of the Storm characters, as they're beginning to provide "cosplay reference kits."

They've begun with a fair number of different Heroes and alternate skins, each one coming with a downloadable PDF file containing a variety of views of the character model, as well as other details, including weapons, gear and emblems that are not as easily seen in-game. For those who are serious about their cosplay, getting everything right down to the smallest detail is extremely important. Now, Blizzard is providing the tools to make sure you're able to do just that.

Here's an example of different views of the parts that make up ETC's Master skin:

Whether you're personally interested in cosplaying or not, it's a gesture that's sure to be appreciated by the community. Blizzard is even encouraging fans to show them what they've come up with using these kits by tweeting @BlizzHeroes or posting to the Facebook page, so show off what you make!
