Cosplay Feature: Shir0gami's Meta Knight!

Photo by RandomBystanderHere As someone who both is a huge fan of Meta Knight as a character in addition to having cosplayed as him years ago, I am ALWAYS gonna shout about any other takes on the famed swordsman. Shir0gami is one such person and created an amazing gijinka of him for this past MAGFest (yep, still on that event!). It's funny how for Shiro, Kirby Air Ride was her first exposure to the character as noted in one of her pinned posts on Instagram. Starting off the cosplay, you have Meta Knight's imposing mask which is the form taken for this cosplay. Shiro has a face mask done perfectly for MK in both the design and grey coloring. The visor slit gives her the ability to see which hopefully she was while in movement. Man, it's hard for me to not compare it to mine years ago and how what I made is vastly inferior to this XD. After the visor, you then have the iconic cape which includes to high propped up collar. This portion has a white layer for the opposite side t...

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
