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: Monika Lee's Demon Hunter!

I was checking my folder of completed/posted Cosplay Features done so far and apparently I've never done one for a specific outfit that cosplayer Monika Lee made. So I decided to fix that by showing here one of her latest outfits she made which is just so freaking amazing it makes me make this face 0_0. I've mentioned before how big into Blizzard games Monika is so her latest cosplay was a Demon Hunter from Diablo 3. The cosplay was made for Blizzcon which happened a few weeks ago!

Look at all that armor! The entire outfit except for the hood was made with Worbla material. I can't remember if I've mentioned that material on here so I'll quickly explain how awesome it is. Worbla is a thermoplastic from Germany that is mainly used in cosplay for masks, armor, props, all the heavy duty stuff. When you heat it with either a heat gun or a hair dryer, it becomes moldable and hardens very quick. I love especially the progress pictures that Monika posted on Twitter which showed how the outfit came together. With her wearing the initial pieces all formed, then the addition of paint brought it all together. The hood also is lined with Worbla alongside the top. The corset section covering her torso looks like to be made from leather and it looks so cool!

Seriously I need to make a note to ask her about how she did all this next time I see her :). I included some progress photos she posted so you can see the amount of hard work and detail she put in the outfit. The professional photos also look great! I'm also digging the crossbow she had for it as well. Much like her Diablo 3 Wizard and Blackbeard from Assassin's Creed 4, Monika absolutely has alot of love for who she cosplays as and it's definitely shown in each end result. If you ever read this Monika, STOP BEING SO DANG AWESOME (nahh keep at it :D). Enjoy the other photos I have to share!
