Cosplay Feature: RiderCGA's King Daredevil!

Photo by Chazzy Baragiola The combination of being snowed in from the blizzard this past week PLUS being hooked hard into Cyberpunk 2077 made this post about a day late. Apologies for the delay but let's get started! I came across RiderCGA's awesome Daredevil during my collection of MAGFest pics so this is probably the last one for that specific convention. As you'll see from the images I found, Rider has a really awesome look/take on the Man Without Fear. Further research indicates that this is known as King Daredevil and is the title Matt Murdock took during a run back in 2022! Starting from the top, you can see a lot of red and black went into this look for the character. The top includes a red hood that hides just about the top of the mask the character is well known for. Small peek at the horns too!

Cosplay Feature: Cold Candle's Sonic the Hedgehog!


One cosplayer I've had the pleasure of getting to know shortly after I started is the super adorable Cold Candle. Hillary (her actual name) has a strong fondness/love for the Sonic the Hedgehog series, so much that she decided to cosplay him in the form known as a gijinka. If you remember from my previous posts and my actual interview with her, a gijinka is basically taking an animal-like character and portraying it as a human form. In fact, she was the person that I discovered this idea which led to my gijinka cosplays such as Meta Knight and soon to be finished Greninja. So how does Hillary make this Sonic her own?


For portraying Sonic, Hillary uses a white shirt with a blue plaid vest. Short short jeans and white stockings show the bottom and leg parts. Red shoes are also used as are white fingerless gloves. In other photos down below, the shoes are changed to Converse High Tops which fit perfectly. The tail and ears definitely stand out as they were made out of fleece material to give it that soft feel, they were filled with stuffing to give it more volume. The poses which Hillary makes in the photos below definitely emanate what Sonic is all about: speed, attitude and cool. The blue wig is very vibrant and looks great on her here. Though it wouldn't be complete without the little ring prop that she made for the cosplay. I'm hoping one day to meet her at a convention while wearing my Shadow cosplay which she helped out in designing it, she's making a Rouge cosplay at the moment so that's freaking awesome! Have a look at some more photos below :)
