Cosplay Feature: Lisa Mancini's Magik!

The Marvel Rivals cosplays keep on coming with various iterations of Magik done by cosplayer Lisa Mancini. Specifically, I have three versions that she's done over the last year or two since the cosplay was made & debuted. I myself am not too well-versed to the character so I'm mostly gonna be focusing on the outfit structure and how it's formed around Lisa. For starters, Magik's base costume starts off with a long platinum blonde wig with some wings added on top. Most likely this is done via a headband piece added in. Her main chest piece looks to be a tank top base in black with an armor chest piece layered on top. It does go all the way up to Lisa's neck so I have to wonder if she had any trouble moving her head around while wearing this. Magik has a mixture of long and short sleeved coverings for her arms. There's also different pauldrons on the shoulders. One of which is smoothed out with what I believe is the X-Men symbol on one and the other is covere...

Cosplay Feature: Vampy Bit Me's Samus Aran!

Today I wanted to feature the awesomeness that is Linda Le otherwise known as Vampy Bit Me on her page! The last time I featured her was with her second Rule 63 of Nightwing in his New 52 uniform. Last year, Vampy decided to take on one of the most iconic Video Game heroines ever created with Samus Aran. Not only did she craft an incredible Zero Suit, but she also made a little Metroid prop that you'll see in the photos down below! The suit itself is made out of spandex (looks like it anyway) with the pink designs that she has on the suit. The wig also looks incredible and I have to say, I really like Vampy as a blonde.


The process it took to create the Metroid prop is a bit more complicated and I can't remember exactly how she made it with what materials but I'm sure you can look around to find a write up she possibly did on making it? Vampy also created several more Metroids to sell off to people who were lucky enough to have the funds for. It's the photos here that really shine with amazing Photoshop manipulation, plus the outfit was used in a series of photos in a project known as The Wild Places which was created by cosplay photographer Anna Fischer. The project basically involved her and certain well known cosplayers traveling around the country to incredible areas to take breath-taking photos.

Vampy also created a second Samus cosplay known as the Justin Bailey outfit (I'm not too familiar with this one but it involves some kind of code created back in the early 90's for one of the games.) This outfit has Vampy sporting a green wig with boots and a one piece pink leotard as well as the famous Arm Cannon attached to one arm. This outfit was also a part of The Wild Places project. Just take a look at the photos down below and see how amazing this came out :D
