Cosplay Feature: Shiro Cos as Melinoe!

So I knew I was gonna get insanely addicted to Hades 2 but I wasn't expecting to essentially clear it all out a little over a month after it released. Having done so much in the first game it didn't take long for me to get back into the rouge-lite groove and do run after run to progress its story. So naturally that led to me wanting to find cosplayers that portrayed the main antagonist Melinoe. Shiro Cos was someone I came across early on as I was searching throughout Instagram with the game's hashtag attached and man does this look freaking awesome. To kick things off, the 3D files for some of the pieces like her weaponry in ADDITION to the killer shoot location were provided by cosplay collective  The Dangerous Ladies ! Shiro has a short bob cut blonde wig with a small leaf crown placed on top. That crown also has a silver moon symbol placed directly in the middle of it.

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 :)
