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: 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!
