Cosplay Feature: Kay Bear Cosplay's Rouge the Bat!

There's just something about Kay Bear Cosplay where she just emanates so much beauty in any sort of shoot she participates in. Cosplay, lingerie, you name it and Kay just looks stunning! Today, I wanted to share her Rouge the Bat cosplay from the Sonic franchise. As the infamous thief, Kay brings a playful side to the character mostly with the poses and facial expressions she makes in the pictures I found online. Plus, the cosplay overall looks simple and comfy so I imagine this wasn't a huge issue wearing for long periods of time. For starters, I LOVE the wig Kay has up at the top. It's a cute style going down to her shoulders and has a lot of waves added on to it. The ears being added up at the top is such a perfect addition to it too! The name of the game color wise is a whole lot of pink and white which you'll see in both the arm sleeves & boots but I'll get to those in a bit!

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 ;)
