Shutting One Door, Keeping others Open

UPDATED ON 8/20/21: Facebook, Patreon and Blog IG pages have been shutdown/discontinued As the COVID pandemic rages on and cons are even shutting down into 2021, it got me thinking on a drive home one night about how I'd feel with even coming back to blogging. When cons eventually do come back at some point. Truth be told, many of the posts and content I shared here could be transferred over to more discussions via my podcast CosplayBytes. I've been blogging my love for games, cons and cosplay for 7 years now and maybe it's time to say goodbye for now? My podcast has gotten me some incredible opportunities as a member of Press for conventions, and the rapid love I've had for streaming is also taking up a lot of time now. On top of multiple personal things on my end, I don't think I have the energy to keep this up even post COVID you know? The very first cosplay centered post I wrote was on Jessica Nigri's Deadpool, and since then it's spawned over 800 posts

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!
