Cosplay Feature: Gray Oranges' Rikku!

Photo by David Ngo I won't ever shy away from writing about cosplays of Rikku's look from Final Fantasy X-2 and Gray Orange did a fantastic job portraying her in both the overall cosplay look PLUS the pose work. Of course I'll get to all that in due time but let's start at the top! It's certainly a cosplay worn for several events and I want to say I first saw this in the overall collection of MAGFest photos back in January of this year. I really love how the multiple braid strands are integrated into the blonde wig for starters. I can't tell if they're either part of the wig itself or the blue headband that's wrapped around. In any case, following this is a red scarf wrapped around Irini's neck before you then get to the yellow bikini top. Here, you can also see orange trim lines as part of the piece. Oh, I forgot to mention that the red scarf actually travels all the way down to her legs. These end points then transition to a yellow/orange gradient!

Convention Flashback: PAX East 2013

Earlier this year I decided to attend PAX East and see if I could have just as much fun as I did the year before. I'll be honest, not really. I'm guessing that's because of who I met that time and it just had such a big impact on me. I did manage to see cosplayers I knew like meeting Bethany Maddock, Nicole Marie Jean and Amie Lynn and they looked absolutely incredible. I also find it funny that most of the game reveals they had I didn't take a personal interest until later. Ducktales Remastered? Shortly afterwards I'm still hoping to play it one day. More recently however I've been excited for Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft which is basically a free-to-play card game online. Usually I don't play card games anymore but watching videos of this? It looks so simple and freaking amazing!!

Here are some pictures I took during the event of not only myself but a bunch of other amazing cosplays I saw while wandering the floor! Oh and I debuted my Shadow the Hedgehog gijinka which did fall apart a bit but since then I fixed him up and he's ready for NYCC 2013 :)
