Cosplay Feature: MissBriSolo's Angela!

When I shared off MissBriSolo's work last month, it was hot on the heels of her just finishing her cosplay of Angela based on the character's Marvel Rivals design. At the time, she was the latest character added in with the new season and man was I stoked to see Bri's finished look on the character. Not just on the fact that Angela was poised to fit the Vanguard/Tank role, but Bri herself has done some insane work with fitness. Thus she felt this was an awesome opportunity to show off her work in the cosplay. Angela as a character was repurposed/retconned to be part of Thor's family after originally appearing in the Spawn comics back in the 90s. There's your quick history lesson, let's jump into the cosplay! Starting off, Bri has a head-guard at the very top that looks much like a crown. Wings extend outward on each side and it travels down the face slightly. Then Bri has a gorgeous orange/red wig for her hair.

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!
