Cosplay Feature: Gray Oranges' Rikku!

Photo by David Ngo I won't ever shy away from writing about cosplays of Rikku's look from Final Fantasy X-2 and Gray Orange did a fantastic job portraying her in both the overall cosplay look PLUS the pose work. Of course I'll get to all that in due time but let's start at the top! It's certainly a cosplay worn for several events and I want to say I first saw this in the overall collection of MAGFest photos back in January of this year. I really love how the multiple braid strands are integrated into the blonde wig for starters. I can't tell if they're either part of the wig itself or the blue headband that's wrapped around. In any case, following this is a red scarf wrapped around Irini's neck before you then get to the yellow bikini top. Here, you can also see orange trim lines as part of the piece. Oh, I forgot to mention that the red scarf actually travels all the way down to her legs. These end points then transition to a yellow/orange gradient!

Cosplay Feature: Lindsay Elyse's Blood Elf Priest!


For this week I want to feature cosplayer Lindsay Elyse! Lindsay if you are unfamiliar with her is a cosplayer based in Arizona who is definitely one hardcore gamer. With love in a variety of genres and games such as Titanfall, Kingdom Hearts, Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed and World of Warcraft to name a few. Now that it's mentioned, the last game is where this cosplay outfit comes from. Judging by the photos I found and the colors of the fabric my best guess would have to be that Lindsay is cosplaying as a Blood Elf Priest. I'm really hoping I'm right haha! The outfit when it first debuted consisted of a gorgeous dress and a bra top that had an ornament extended down from the middle. The wig is long with a very pale yellow color, and the prop she constructed also fits the character very much.


The outfit was revisited at last year's BlizzCon where Lindsay added a book/tome and a jacket. Both of which have matching patterns and colors to the entire outfit. The photos of this revision are bursting with color so with that tidbit you probably know who took some of the photos :D. Lindsay definitely has a love for World of Warcraft and it's easily shown in this cosplay, not only that but she has made several other character classes from the game with the Blood Elf being most represented (yay fellow Blood Elf lover!). There might be a chance if her recent posts are an indication that I will get to meet her at PAX East this year! I've admired her outfits for awhile and I definitely would love to see one in person, plus she seems like such a fun person to be around with :). Enjoy the pictures guys!
