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: Nikki Kristan's Rikku Berserker!


One of the awesome friends I met recently through cosplay is the super awesome Nikki Kristan! You might remember her as one of the many Poison Ivy's I showed as part of my first showcase a few weeks ago! This time I wanted to give her a full feature with another one of my favorite cosplays of hers. The outfit being Rikku's Berserker from Final Fantasy 10-2! The outfit itself consists of mainly lots of fur and animal print fabric due to the class Berserker in the game being more of an animalistic nature/style. I feel that it's one of the many classes that fits Rikku's personality. That and for me I remember having her as an Alchemist! Also from getting to know her, Nikki is definitely a lover of cats, so with the animal prints being leopard, it's perfect for her!
The poses Nikki makes are definitely cute and fierce! The horns on her head and shoulder pieces were done with foam if I remember correctly from Nikki talking about it in one of her page posts. If I'm wrong then I apologize. The colors are very vibrant in the fabric and I wonder if the feet are either easy or difficult to walk in. There's also a pose she makes down below that I personally find very attractive ^^. It also helps that Nikki is a big fan of Final Fantasy so she definitely enjoyed making this outfit. I'm really looking forward to meeting her at Hartford Comic Con next month! Maybe an interview done in the future? :) I hope you guys enjoy the pictures!
