Shutting One Door, Keeping others Open

UPDATED ON 8/20/21: Facebook, Patreon and Blog IG pages have been shutdown/discontinued As the COVID pandemic rages on and cons are even shutting down into 2021, it got me thinking on a drive home one night about how I'd feel with even coming back to blogging. When cons eventually do come back at some point. Truth be told, many of the posts and content I shared here could be transferred over to more discussions via my podcast CosplayBytes. I've been blogging my love for games, cons and cosplay for 7 years now and maybe it's time to say goodbye for now? My podcast has gotten me some incredible opportunities as a member of Press for conventions, and the rapid love I've had for streaming is also taking up a lot of time now. On top of multiple personal things on my end, I don't think I have the energy to keep this up even post COVID you know? The very first cosplay centered post I wrote was on Jessica Nigri's Deadpool, and since then it's spawned over 800 posts

Cosplay Feature: Spencer Doe as Knuckles the Echidna!

For today's cosplay feature I want to showcase another awesome male cosplayer named Spencer Doe. Spencer alongside his partner in crime Nicole Marie Jean (who has been featured before) is mostly known by his nickname as The God Damned Batman. This is because most of his cosplays are versions of Batman's iconic suit from the Nolan movies to the Arkham games. However rather focusing on Batman I actually want to show off his humanoid version of Knuckles the Echidna from Sonic. Along with Nicole who dressed as Sonic, this cosplay was made for PAX East 2013 and was actually the first time I met them!

Spencer as Knuckles and Nicole as Sonic

The cosplay itself is a one piece red suit in which Spencer looks very muscular. The shoes were messed around to match how they look on Knuckles. I definitely love the way the wig was styled and the added sunglasses was a nice touch. I was anticipating to match with them at that convention with my Shadow gijinka which I had debuted at PAX East but they unfortunately wore them a different day and I had only gotten a pass for one day. The gloves are huge with spikes attached to them and it definitely works!

The poses they both make definitely capture the friendship/rivalry that both Sonic and Knuckles had. I also can tell from their in progress posts on the outfits that they both had a lot of fun making the cosplays and even more fun wearing them! I'm hoping to maybe match with my Shadow one day, just a matter of planning :D. I also plan on interviewing them one day (I PROMISE) as well so fingers crossed! Enjoy the photos I have to share.
