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: Byndo Gehk's Swimsuit Totodile!

One thing I love seeing since I started and completed my own design are the many Pokemon Gijinkas that have been popping up on Facebook as I was looking for inspiration to further improve my own. Byndo Gehk's Swimsuit Totodile is one of these outfits and it just explodes with adorableness. This cosplay was done for ColossalCon which is otherwise known to cosplayers as "bikini con". This is largely due to the convention being held at a freaking water park resort. Anyways, this outfit definitely screams bathing suit style with how the fabric looks with it shining in certain shots. Plus, the spikes coming off of Byndo's arms look like they were inflated and it's freaking awesome!

The colors of this outfit definitely stay true to Totodile's design right down to a T. I love the bright red and blue the Byndo has in her wig. The wide yellow goggles are a perfect match and I imagine that the red claw like weapon was made with foam. Coming off the back of the outfit is a tail done in the same material as majority of the outfits. Byndo's Totodile was worn with her boyfriend in his own swimsuit gijinka but of Feraligatr which is the final evolution of Totodile. The pictures of the 2 of them together is just absolutely adorable. Many of the poses involve Byndo flashing her teeth in a wide expression with fangs being seen. This cosplay was also shot as part of The Wild Places photo shoot. I definitely hope I get to meet her someday and show her my Greninja gijinka :D. WATER TYPE POKEMON UNITE! Enjoy the photos guys!
