Cosplay Feature: Gray Oranges' Rikku!

Photo by David Ngo I won't ever shy away from writing about cosplays of Rikku's look from Final Fantasy X-2 and Gray Orange did a fantastic job portraying her in both the overall cosplay look PLUS the pose work. Of course I'll get to all that in due time but let's start at the top! It's certainly a cosplay worn for several events and I want to say I first saw this in the overall collection of MAGFest photos back in January of this year. I really love how the multiple braid strands are integrated into the blonde wig for starters. I can't tell if they're either part of the wig itself or the blue headband that's wrapped around. In any case, following this is a red scarf wrapped around Irini's neck before you then get to the yellow bikini top. Here, you can also see orange trim lines as part of the piece. Oh, I forgot to mention that the red scarf actually travels all the way down to her legs. These end points then transition to a yellow/orange gradient!

Cosplay Feature: Marie Grey's Black Canary!

Sorry for the absence this week guys! I just haven't had anything interesting to say and have a lot going on with school. Anyways, for today I want to feature one of my awesome friends Marie Grey! She has been featured here before in the form of an interview and various shout outs in other posts but I want to talk about one of her cosplays which is one of my favorites. This outfit being Black Canary from Green Arrow!

Now unless you've been able to talk with her, you should know that she is a big DC Comics fangirl (much like me) and she specifically loves Green Arrow, the Birds of Prey, etc. so naturally Black Canary is her favorite! The outfit itself is somewhat simple with black boots, fishnet leggings, gloves, a leather jacket and a black one piece (at least I think it is). The blonde wig looks amazing on her and Marie is definitely doing awesome poses. Some of them just make me say "dem legs" haha.

Regardless I love this cosplay that Marie put together, it should be noted that this is one version and that later on, Marie constructed another version with blue leggings, most of the same pieces with the addition of a mask! She also has a great smile seen in some of the pictures below. I always do love talking with her online when I'm able to and it's mostly just us geeking out over various things like the show Arrow, Final Fantasy etc. I hope you guys enjoy the photos I have to share!
