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.

Cosplay Progress: Steampunk Nightwing and Riddler

One of the cosplays I'm working on for this year is a Steampunk version of Nightwing alongside my Dad who wants to do a Steampunk Riddler. This idea came about after NYCC 2013 when my Dad was incredibly interested in the idea of steampunk so much that he wanted to create a costume. The Riddler was the first thing that came to his mind. At RI Comic Con last year we told this idea to Jessica Nigri who not only loved the idea but then suggested to me that I try my hand at a Steampunk version of Nightwing to go along with it, and thus the whole plan was set!

At this moment our weapons/props are done and Dad has a fancy Hat he ordered online from one of the vendors he saw last year. Below are all the progress pictures I've posted on Twitter and my cosplay page so I hope you guys enjoy them! What's left for me is the goggles, a leather aviator hat which I picked out and need to buy and cufflinks to make. The rest I can do with clothes at my house! Dad has a whip being made alongside his cane and he also needs to create gears for the outfit as well as a vest and matching pants/shoes.
