Cosplay Feature: Holly Bean Cosplay's Sypha from Castlevania!

Photo by David Ngo By the time you're reading this, I will have just gotten back from my first convention of the year, PAX East! You can hear all about it in a brand new episode of CosplayBytes! For now, let's go back a little bit further to MAGFest from January for even more gaming related cosplays. Holly Bean Cosplay here brought along her cosplay of the devoted mage Sypha from the Castlevania anime adaptation aired on Netflix. By the time of this posting, the original has aired two seasons plus a spin off called Nocturne starring another Belmont Descendant. You'll notice that even if the cosplay is relatively simple in its design, I love both the pose work that Holly has done in addition to the edited photos that came out of this. Starting from the top, Holly is rocking a short orange wig with a variety of curls and wefts seen on her sides and from the back. Then you have the main top piece all in a light shade of blue and layered.

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!
