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!

Cherry Sauce Clothing!

Today I want to share with you another awesome product that I discovered thanks to the all mighty power of the Internet. The product being really cool shirts, hoodies, and prints from an indie company based up in Canada! Cherry Sauce Clothing is a small apparel business founded by 2 friends Mike and Jason based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in 2009. Their goal with these products is to celebrate the inner child in all of us as time moves on and we grow up.

All of their shirts and hoodies have designs done by Mike (who's also an animator) while Jason is the so called "business side" of the company. Some of the shirts include Pokemon from the original 3 starters, a twisted version of Pikachu, badass designs of Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise, etc. I myself currently own 3 of their shirts, I should also note that these shirts are SUPER comfortable. Seriously I could sleep in these shirts (in fact i have), the prints are also nice with most having the same image as on the shirt.

Most of the shirts come in at $22 with hoodies at $30. Also available are stickers, lanyards and wristbands that have the motto of "Imagine, Create, Inspire". I can strongly say that these guys definitely live up to it. Some of the designs are 8-bit versions from Health/Mana potions to Finn and Jake from the cartoon Adventure Time.

Here are some pictures of me wearing the shirts so here's what they look like!

Squirtle T-Shirt titled "Minimal Starter Blue"

8-bit Health Potion!

Appropriately titled "Perkerchew"
I definitely recommend you check these guys out! They also managed to get some pretty cool people to help model their shirts. I've included links to their store site, Facebook Page and Twitter if you want to keep up with them :)
