Cosplay Feature: Shir0gami's Meta Knight!

Photo by RandomBystanderHere As someone who both is a huge fan of Meta Knight as a character in addition to having cosplayed as him years ago, I am ALWAYS gonna shout about any other takes on the famed swordsman. Shir0gami is one such person and created an amazing gijinka of him for this past MAGFest (yep, still on that event!). It's funny how for Shiro, Kirby Air Ride was her first exposure to the character as noted in one of her pinned posts on Instagram. Starting off the cosplay, you have Meta Knight's imposing mask which is the form taken for this cosplay. Shiro has a face mask done perfectly for MK in both the design and grey coloring. The visor slit gives her the ability to see which hopefully she was while in movement. Man, it's hard for me to not compare it to mine years ago and how what I made is vastly inferior to this XD.

Cosplay Feature: Li Kovacs loves The Legend of Zelda.


No that's not a promotional image for the 3DS Remake for Ocarina of Time but it sure as hell could be one right? Today I wanted to feature cosplayer Li Kovacs and her undying love for The Legend of Zelda. Mostly she's been able to work alongside Nintendo promoting their games through her cosplays, these include various versions of Link and Pit from Kid Icarus: Uprising. This has also led her to meet some influential figures in the company such as Reggie Fiis-Amie, Eji Anouma, Shigeru Miyamoto, you know...those guys :).

Li has an impeccable eye for detail that makes her practically the spitting image of a real life Link. From the patterns on the tunic and gloves to the way the Hylian Shield and Master Sword look, really I just absolutely love the work she puts out. The various versions of Link (which you can see below) are also a nice touch as Li isn't afraid to do something other than the classic look Link's been known for. Each outfit has its own distinct look and feel and the backgrounds for each photo just compliments the outfit in a unique way. The way the blonde wig looks along with the elf ears is also awesome! Li even has the Ocarina seen above!

It wasn't long after I started following that I realized she was at my very first convention I attended (PAX East 2012). It looked like she was hired by Nintendo to promote the upcoming release to Kid Icarus Uprising, and while I did take pictures they came out downright awful so I got rid of them haha.
