Cosplay Feature: Kels Cosplay's Rumi!

Photo by Raymond Ho One of the biggest crazes to have happened last year was the arrival of K-Pop Demon Hunters on Netflix over the summer. Between the insane visuals and catchy songs, it's no surprise that the characters themselves latched onto so many creators. Of course this led to a cosplay explosion after the film's release which continues on to MAGFest. I figured at some point I'd want to share a Demon Hunters cosplay here soon and Kels Cosplay came in with a fantastic look at Rumi, the band's leader & prime vocalist. Specifically you have the outfit worn during the last act of the film. Kels also looks to have done a slight variation featuring some makeup but I'll get to that later on in the writeup. The first version of the look includes a bedazzled black crop jacket with various golden stripes and accents throughout. You also get to see various gold chains traveling down the jacket.

Cosplay Feature: Nicole Marie Jean's Fem Vincent Valentine!

Another cosplayer who I've had the pleasure to talk with at some conventions is the lovely Nicole Marie Jean. She is mainly known for her Lady Bane cosplay straight from the last Nolan Batman movie. Since then she has created many amazing outfits using alternatives that save her a lot of money. Many of these outfits are gender bent of male characters since she is more attracted to male characters. Such characters include Cable, Shao Kahn, Punisher, even a humanoid Sonic the Hedgehog (which was when I initially found out about her and how we were working on similar outfits, her Sonic and my Shadow) Oh and Nicole is also known as the Raptor Queen based off something she calls "raptoring out" which is just making funny faces and not being afraid of who you are.

The outfit I am featuring today is one of my favorites of her, this being a Female Vincent Valentine from Final Fantasy 7. This is because of two main things:

  • I love Final Fantasy
  • Vincent is one of my favorite characters in the game
She constructed the golden hand using Worbla as well as Vincent's signature gun Cerberus out of the same material with other items. The cape was also done right down to the tatters/holes near the end of the cape. The main outfit is also done with a corset and she looks absolutely amazing in it and I gladly was cheering her on when she encountered numerous issues such as the gun having to be remade. Take a look at the pictures below and see how cool this cosplay is! I also threw in a collage of progress photos she posted on her page.
