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: iObject Cosplay and Law's Injustice Green Lantern

Today I want to feature another male cosplayer who both me and my Dad had the pleasure of chatting with back at NYCC this year. His name is Cliff but goes by his page name of iObject Cosplay and Law. Why the odd name you ask? Well the "Law" part has to do with him in fact being a lawyer and he has talked about issues in the cosplay community mainly regarding rights surrounding cosplayers who sell prints and making deals with their photographers selling the shots. Not only that but Cliff is also an awesome cosplayer and a very interesting guy to talk to!

Cliff alongside his partner Katie George (who you all know from here) made an Injustice cosplay with Green Lantern. What's awesome about this cosplay is the amazing paint job he gave certain parts to the outfit. Some of these pieces include awesome looking boots and a very detailed chest plate! And yes if you look at the above photo, that ring was rigged to work with an extremely thorough step by step process that Cliff outlined on his page!

Regarding the chest plate, it's made up of foam pieces hot glued together then primed and painted. Wiring was also involved to give the armor that light up feel. The ring itself was done by cutting holes in the glove and placing wires/devices through the glove attached to the bottom of the ring. The device is then activated to light up whenever Cliff makes a fist with his hand. This is about as brief as I can probably get and if you want to find out more information I have a link to his cosplay page down at the bottom of this page. The mask looks very well done and overall I love how the cosplay came out, it almost makes me a bit jealous that I could of done something similar regarding Nightwing's Injustice look that I wore at NYCC. I can only do so much with the budget I had though! Alongside another full shot of the completed outfit I also have work in progress pictures that Cliff posted up on his page that are really cool to look at!
