Cosplay Feature: Kate Sarkissian's Feraligatr!

Photo by Kris Andi Anime Expo has come and gone and it's always a blast seeing what cosplayers bring whether it's a tried and true outfit or something brand new. I feel like for many of the conventions Kate's attended, she has a drive to create something brand new. It's definitely fun watching her share mini crafting videos on her Instagram stories. Nice little glimpse into the WIP setup! When it was shared that she was going to be doing a gijinka of Feraligatr from Pokemon's second generation, I really got amped up and excited. If you're not aware, Totodile is my all time favorite Pokemon starter and his evolution line is pretty fantastic. My own history with Feraligatr on my team goes all the way back to the days of Pokemon Colosseum! Kate's version of the water type is definitely skimpy in some ways but when you're in the blazing summer heat in CA, you got to make sure you're comfortable right?

Cosplay Feature: Lindsay Elyse's Rule 63 Sora!


I loved meeting cosplayer Lindsay Elyse at PAX East this year for several reasons. One is that she's crazy beautiful and I loved talking with her about cosplay and video games along with sharing with her my cosplay progress on Riku's keyblade (which she loved and I can't wait to show her the final product). The other reason is that she loves Kingdom Hearts pretty much the same way I do. Not only do we enjoy the story and characters but the series also led to us discovering the Final Fantasy franchise and subsequently falling in love with that franchise as well. So you can imagine how excited I was to see when Lindsay did a Rule 63 Sora, it just looks so freaking awesome! The fabric and zippers look spot on and the blue tank top fits her so perfectly :D.


It was super sweet of Lindsay to include one of her Sora prints as a freebie for me so I had to draw this cosplay for her as a thank you gift. The keyblade was done with help from Jessica Nigri and I can't tell if it's made out of foam or wood but it's definitely one of those two options. The detailing and paint job on the blade looks awesome just like the Oblivion. The necklace looks super pretty here also. The way Lindsay portrays Sora in the shots is the perfect blend of confidence and of course goofy. I DEFINITELY want to see this in person one day, maybe when I wear Riku so we can match and take badass photos? Pretty please Lindsay? :) Enjoy guys!
