Cosplay Feature: SpookyMoogs Bikini Sonic!

Photo by Togith Photography It's the day after Christmas, winter has started and I'm ending the year with a bikini cosplay? No wait that sounds about right for me! I came across SpookyMoogs awhile ago when it came to searching for new people to share and her bikini take on the world's fastest hedgehog caught my eye, For starters, I love the wig choice being your standard fare with the long portions on the sides plus the cute little ears on the top. There's one shot you'll see later that really shows off the length of the wig extending out from the back. The ears are super small in their size & length. Best bet is she may have utilized the headband trick for having them stay in place. Then you get to the bikini portion itself which looks to be a mixture of 2 pieces. There's a one piece portion that has some space opening up on both Moogs' front and back sides. Then it looks like the normal chest piece is separate based on how it's layered next to the ...

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 ;)
