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: Amie Lynn is a Raging Raven.

You have more than likely seen Arizona cosplayer Amie Lynn before, be it here or somewhere on the Internet. I haven't done a feature focused on a certain cosplay of hers so I figured why not change that. One of the franchises that holds a special place in Amie's heart is the Metal Gear Solid games which I would guess stems off of her love for Sony and the Playstation. This has led to her making various cosplays within the MGS universe from EVA, Female Raiden, Mei Ling and the outfit for today, Raging Raven from Metal Gear Solid 4!

The outfit at first seems simple with a great pattern design on the bodysuit. The real challenge/attention grabber here though is the wings attached on the back with pipes made to look like rockets as seen in the game. I couldn't find that many photos of just Amie so included are progress shots she posted on her page so you really get a sense of what in to making the wings. The wings are crafted with mod podge and Worbla to reinforce it and make it sturdy, all attached to Amie's back via a harness. I wonder how heavy the wings are actually, I'm guessing the base for them was some kind of fabric? I'm most likely wrong though XD. The rockets as stated before are made from cut pipes. I definitely love how she styled her hair here!

The setting for the photo shoot done is also really nice. It might be a safe bet to say that Amie has more MGS cosplays planned for the future and I'm excited to see them. Until then, enjoy these pictures guys! :)
