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!

Cosplay Feature: Vampy Bit Me's New 52 Nightwing!

This week I want to show one of my favorite cosplayers the lovely Linda Le (or as she is known online as Vampy Bit Me). What I love about her is that it seems like she's constantly making new cosplays every week and they're all top-notch and incredibly well made. When I found out she was going to do one of my favorite superheroes (which just so happens to be hers as well) I was super excited to see the end results. When I first met Linda she cosplayed as the Arkham City version of Nightwing, I was able to get a picture with her while wearing my own Nightwing and it was so amazing!

Fast forward to a few months ago and Linda went on and tackled the New 52 design. It looks fabulous and she has every detail of his outfit right down to the sewn in lines. I'll be honest, as she was working on it and looking through her progress photos I became extremely intimidated and worried that my upgrades to Nightwing weren't going to look as polished as her outfit. But she happily encouraged me to keep going! Here are some awesome photos down below! :D Oh and I get to see her this weekend so that's exciting!
