Cosplay Feature: Wumbo's Monoco!

Photo by David Ngo Happy February! I hope you had an amazing start to your new year and that you're excited to learn about the amazing cosplays that are out there for 2026. The cosplay community usually dubs the one-two punch of MAGFest & Katsucon as the kickoff for the convention season. I spent the last month or so gathering cosplays that as of today's date, all stem from the former! I also am insanely excited that many of these I'm about to share are first time write-ups for the creators themselves. Today, you get a look at Wumbo's masterful recreation of known feet lover Monoco from 2025's Game of the Year, Expedition 33! In looking at some of the photo posts on her instagram, she made all of this by herself so I don't have to worry about adding in extra creators who may have assisted with design files etc. Quick backstory, Monoco is the last party member you add to your team who's a longtime friend of Verso and gained a grasp on the English language...

Cosplay Feature: The Amazing Makeup of It's Raining Neon!

One cosplayer I had the pleasure of finally meeting at NYCC this year was DeAnna Davis. On the internet she's mainly known by her page name of It's Raining Neon! On that Saturday she was wearing her Mara Jade Skywalker from the extended Star Wars Universe created in the books. DeAnna makes incredible outfits ranging from a World of Warcraft Death Knight to characters such as Black Widow and Catwoman. I wasn't able to pick a favorite outfit of mine to show but instead I also remembered she's absolutely incredible in makeup.

One of the albums on her Facebook page is devoted to close up shots of her face showcasing the makeup which makes her look like one of the characters she either has cosplayed or hasn't. Let me tell you that these are SPOT ON! Some of them Final Fantasy characters like Ultimecia to ones she's tackled before like Mad Moxxi from Borderlands 2. Some of these shots make me wish DeAnna would just go ahead and create the rest of the cosplay because she would look so amazing in it!

Ultimecia from Final Fantasy 8
I definitely am interested in knowing what materials Neon uses to capture the look of these characters. Makeup is definitely one of her strong suits and I hope she does something like this again in the near future! Below are some other personal favorite shots of other makeup shots she did!
