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: Marie Grey's Rule 63 Auron!

I had to feature Marie Grey's Rule 63 Auron on a basis of several reasons: a) She loves Final Fantasy 10 as much as I do, b) It's PERFECT and c) the finished shots look amazing! I'm hoping to one day to see her in this cosplay cause why not? I love the fabrics she used for the many parts of this cosplay and Marie was so kind enough to let me know how she made certain parts of the outfit. For example, the robe is a suiting material with added leather buckles and straps. The flower trims were placed around the neckline and I really love how it compliments the blue it's laid upon. The obi was done twice with the first version having created with a laid curtain and extra fabric she had. The updated version was done in separate layers!


The bottom can zip up in the back with pinstripes done with a pen! The leotard is a basic dance leotard and the wig was cheap to purchase, Marie just had to add in gray wefts! The sunglasses were also a great find for her. Her boots believe it or not came from her Black Canary cosplay and the sword was commissioned by Assert Revenge! Lastly, the bracers and pauldron was crafted with Worbla :D. I love how the photos came out with Marie doing badass poses with her sword and battle stances. She definitely captures Auron's personality of a stoic/silent badass that can really mess you up if you tick him off! The various settings in them are also fantastic! This cosplay will always be a favorite of Marie's, hope you guys enjoy the photos!
