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: Destiny Nickelsen's Belle (Moulin Rouge Style)!


If there's one thing Destiny Nickelsen does with her cosplays, it's put an incredible amount of detail for each and every outfit she makes. Some of which look crazy beautiful. This outfit here is no exception of showing Destiny's talent! The outfit here was done for Dragon*Con last year based off a design found on deviantArt which depicted the Disney Princesses in a Moulin Rouge style look. The princess in question here is Belle from Beauty and the Beast. The cosplay is frilly and extravagant with the flower up at the top of the corset like top and the skirt going just about as much as it needs to with the rest definitely showing off her legs (which look awesome).

The dress extends down along the back and the stockings for her leg are an interesting mix of white going down to a light/pastel yellow by her feet. The skirt down at the bottom is the perfect shade of brown referencing I'm guessing Belle's brown hair? Speaking of hair, Destiny's wig is incredible here, with a rose pinned to it since you know...roses are important in the movie itself. The fron of the dress is outlined with buttons, lines and all the things that make the dress fit the style derived here. Alongside Destiny's Belle, lots of other cosplayers caught the Moulin Rouge bug for Dragon*Con with cosplayers doing Ariel, Snow White, Aurora and others part of the design. I've got some pictures showing off how incredible the outfit is so I hope you guys enjoy them :)

She's so pretty :)
