Cosplay Feature: Jess Blaze Cosplay's Lady Luck Rikku!

If there's one thing I can count on Jess Blaze to do, is cosplaying all the Final Fantasy waifus your heart desires. She's certainly no stranger to Rikku's look from FF X-2 but I really loved this additional costume change done for the character. Those not familiar with X-2's gameplay, it involves the traditional job system from previous entries but adds in the fun mechanic of changing clothes. Dress-spheres in this case! One such job is the Lady Luck sphere which deals with a lot of abilities based on the classic Gambler job. I'm mostly assuming because it's been both years since I replayed X-2 and I don't even think I used this class in particular for any of the three main characters. With all that intro out of the way, let's get to the cosplay itself! Upon looking at the pictures, Jess mentions in one of the captions that the cosplay itself is no longer in her possession. This is due to how uncomfortable it was to wear at the convention she debuted it

Cosplay Progress: Pokemon Gijinka!

One of my upcoming cosplays is another gijinka this time based around Pokemon. Seeing Jessica Nigri's latest "PokePenthouse" set of cosplays finally gave me the drive and motivation to start it up. The Pokemon I have chosen is Greninja from the latest games X/Y. He is the final evolution of the Water starter Froakie and just looks like all sorts of badass. In actuality I've made quite a bit of progress with only needing to buy several things and using items from my home, you can check out the sketch I drew out below!

My rough sketch

So far I have the jacket I will be wearing and I figure there's a scarf in my house somewhere which will work. The white spots will be kneepads/elbowpads thanks to a suggestion from my friend. A pale yellow-ish shirt would probably be best and I would just wear blue pants. For his prop I've been hard at work making Ninja Stars out of Worbla since Greninja's signature move is called "Water Shruiken". It was a long process of actually redoing them for a smoother shape/look. Right now I'm painting the hell out of them with adding coats of white acrylic then blue. I then have to decide if that's good enough or should I try something to make it appear with a water like texture. I'm moving along pretty well with this project and I can't wait to debut it!

Redid the Ninja Stars so they're a lot smoother
