Cosplay Feature: Kay Bear Cosplay's Rouge the Bat!

There's just something about Kay Bear Cosplay where she just emanates so much beauty in any sort of shoot she participates in. Cosplay, lingerie, you name it and Kay just looks stunning! Today, I wanted to share her Rouge the Bat cosplay from the Sonic franchise. As the infamous thief, Kay brings a playful side to the character mostly with the poses and facial expressions she makes in the pictures I found online. Plus, the cosplay overall looks simple and comfy so I imagine this wasn't a huge issue wearing for long periods of time. For starters, I LOVE the wig Kay has up at the top. It's a cute style going down to her shoulders and has a lot of waves added on to it. The ears being added up at the top is such a perfect addition to it too! The name of the game color wise is a whole lot of pink and white which you'll see in both the arm sleeves & boots but I'll get to those in a bit!

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.
