Cosplay Feature: Laney Feni's Supergirl!

  Photo by Maze Studio The last time I shared cosplayer Laney Feni, it was via her amazing Fem Aquaman cosplay she did a few years ago. Originally for today's piece I wanted to gush over how stellar she looks in her Post-Apocalyptic version of Supergirl but that led me to sharing with you another version that's more of the character's classic look. If you were to dive into her cosplay portfolio, Laney has definitely cosplayed Kara Zor-El numerous times but this version draws heavy inspiration in both the design and feel of the old Zack Snyder take on Superman. Between this classic design and the other variant I mentioned earlier, the only difference really boils down to pants and the cape's use. We'll get to that later of course! For starters, Kara's look here consists of a long sleeved tank top like piece and pants with the midriff being shown. I'm pretty sure that this is Laney's natural hair too which really is perfect for Supergirl!

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.
