Cosplay Feature: Kay Bear Cosplay's Rouge the Bat!

There's just something about Kay Bear Cosplay where she just emanates so much beauty in any sort of shoot she participates in. Cosplay, lingerie, you name it and Kay just looks stunning! Today, I wanted to share her Rouge the Bat cosplay from the Sonic franchise. As the infamous thief, Kay brings a playful side to the character mostly with the poses and facial expressions she makes in the pictures I found online. Plus, the cosplay overall looks simple and comfy so I imagine this wasn't a huge issue wearing for long periods of time. For starters, I LOVE the wig Kay has up at the top. It's a cute style going down to her shoulders and has a lot of waves added on to it. The ears being added up at the top is such a perfect addition to it too! The name of the game color wise is a whole lot of pink and white which you'll see in both the arm sleeves & boots but I'll get to those in a bit!

Cosplay Feature: Victoria Schmidt's Tron Legacy Dress

One of the big things going around the cosplay community is SyFy's new show "Heroes of Cosplay". The show focuses on several cosplayers as they travel to conventions and mainly compete in the competitions held there. I'm not too entirely in favor of the show as it being a reality show, it portrays these immensely talented people as somewhat bitchy/catty which in all honesty is the exact OPPOSITE of how they are in real life which is down to earth and super sweet. Having met 2 of them in person and interacting with some online I know this for a FACT.

All that aside it does show some of the amazing skill sets that each cosplayer has and one outfit I loved seeing was Victoria's Tron Legacy inspired dress. Not only does she look fabulous in it but the amount of work is just so inspiring. It was especially interesting how the light-up parts were handled by her boyfriend Jinyo (who is a complete badass I might add) from wiring underneath the dress and going through the back of her heels. Plus (and I may get the number wrong so oops on my part) it took about I want to say over 15 AA batteries to light the whole thing. Light up glow tape was used for the main sections of the dress as were little lights alongside the trim at the bottom of the dress. I also remember from seeing it on the show that the dress was detachable along the bottom so it could look a little bit shorter which was so cool to see.

Turns out that this version of the dress on the show was version 3.0 as Jinyo puts it in his little blog where I read up about the outfit. Having came up with the design initially, it seems that he wasn't satisfied with the first 2. Not that this is a bad thing considering my Nightwing has undergone 2 remakes/upgrades as of now and I couldn't be happier. This dress has its original form underneath the detachable part as mentioned above which at first makes it look like an incredible ball gown. The heart shaped disk prop was also a very nice addition!

I won't go into the crazy details so instead i'll provide pictures of it!! Note that these are all of version 2.0 of the dress (I think). Props to Victoria and Jinyo for making a totally awesome dress! Oh and it should be stated that Victoria LOVES TRON so hence why this dress was made :).
