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: Kamui Cosplay's Protoss Wizard!

For today, I wanted to feature a well known cosplayer for her amazing work with armor crafting. Her name is Svetlana but you probably have heard by the name of Kamui Cosplay online. If I had to sum her up in a few words with regards to her cosplay they would be Blizzard and Armor. Why those 2? Practically all of her outfits are armor sets from Blizzard games such as World of Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo. Alongside her husband, Kamui puts in tremendous amounts of detail and when she wears them it's as if you're looking at a real life copy of the armor! Yes I know that's the point of cosplay but seriously go look her up on Facebook!

Which brings us to the outfit I just HAD to feature. At first glance this outfit doesn't appear to be from any game that Blizzard has created thus far. Well that's kind of the point, this cosplay is an original outfit that Kamui came up with titled "Protoss Wizard". Now my knowledge of Blizzard games only goes so far up to at least Warcraft lore but I did out of an interest look at info regarding the other 2 franchises. My best guess (and it's probably the obvious so don't yell at me) is that this outfit is a combination between the Protoss race in Starcraft and the Wizard class in Diablo.

All of it was crafted with Worbla which Kamui actually introduced to the rest of the cosplay community and is used by many others featured here (like Monika Lee's Demon Hunter and Yaya Han's Fiora). Added in are impressive stones embedded with LED lights which makes the prop weapon she created light up and I think the armor does too! The painting done is incredible and I love the cape added! There aren't many photos of the whole cosplay so I also added progress photos that Kamui posted on her page and trust me guys, she put in a HELL of a lot of work. In fact this won 1st place in the cosplay contest held at Blizzcon this year and she definitely earned it. Enjoy guys :D
