Cosplay Feature: Lisa Mancini's Magik!

The Marvel Rivals cosplays keep on coming with various iterations of Magik done by cosplayer Lisa Mancini. Specifically, I have three versions that she's done over the last year or two since the cosplay was made & debuted. I myself am not too well-versed to the character so I'm mostly gonna be focusing on the outfit structure and how it's formed around Lisa. For starters, Magik's base costume starts off with a long platinum blonde wig with some wings added on top. Most likely this is done via a headband piece added in. Her main chest piece looks to be a tank top base in black with an armor chest piece layered on top. It does go all the way up to Lisa's neck so I have to wonder if she had any trouble moving her head around while wearing this. Magik has a mixture of long and short sleeved coverings for her arms. There's also different pauldrons on the shoulders. One of which is smoothed out with what I believe is the X-Men symbol on one and the other is covere...

Cosplay Feature: Kristen Hughey's Poison Ivy!

One cosplayer that I had the pleasure of meeting at RICC was the very sweet Kristen Hughey. I had only started really following her work maybe a few months ago but automatically I could see she loved what she does and really enjoys the costume making process! I was very happy to hear that I was able to meet her sooner than the original plan of meeting each other at PAX East!



One of her cosplays that definitely caught my eye was her Poison Ivy cosplay. The outfit itself is somewhat like a basic one piece adorned with green leaves as is traditional with the character's design most of the time. Also added is the hot rod red wig with the addition of a plant like decoration attached to the side of the wig. Make up wise she adds green eye shadow and greenish lipstick colorings. Also included are heels and wrist cuffs made out of leaves!

Now most Poison Ivy cosplays will vary in terms of skin color. Some will just leave their skin as is while others will go about painting their body a certain shade of green. It usually is a lighter shade so it doesn't blend in with the leaves in the jumpsuit. What Kristen does is what looks like leaving her skin color it's natural shade and leave the editing/photoshop skills of the photographer to add in the greenish tint :).

The poses Kristen does alongside with the setting definitely capture the essence of Poison Ivy as a character. The major ones being sexy and deadly. I hope you enjoy the photos that show off more of the cosplay. Also included an extra one for you guys, you can thank me later ;)
