Cosplay Feature: SpookyMoogs Bikini Sonic!

Photo by Togith Photography It's the day after Christmas, winter has started and I'm ending the year with a bikini cosplay? No wait that sounds about right for me! I came across SpookyMoogs awhile ago when it came to searching for new people to share and her bikini take on the world's fastest hedgehog caught my eye, For starters, I love the wig choice being your standard fare with the long portions on the sides plus the cute little ears on the top. There's one shot you'll see later that really shows off the length of the wig extending out from the back. The ears are super small in their size & length. Best bet is she may have utilized the headband trick for having them stay in place. Then you get to the bikini portion itself which looks to be a mixture of 2 pieces. There's a one piece portion that has some space opening up on both Moogs' front and back sides. Then it looks like the normal chest piece is separate based on how it's layered next to the ...

Cosplay Feature: Detailed Illusion Cosplay's Snow Villiers!


Another awesome male cosplayer that I discovered awhile ago is Detailed Illusion Cosplay! This guy makes some amazing outfits mainly deriving from Final Fantasy characters such as Balthier, Tidus, Vincent Valentine and several others. He also has a knack for doing gender bends on characters such as Elsa from Frozen and Ariel from The Little Mermaid! Both of these outfits are very creative and still capture the essence of the original design! For today's outfit, I have his Snow Villiers from the Final Fantasy 13 series of games. Specifically his look and giant ice weapon from Lightning Returns: FF13. The cosplay involves a large black suit/trench-coat along with a blonde wig and his necklace formerly worn by his wife Serah who apparently passed away in the time between this game and 13-2.

What's perhaps most impressive in this cosplay for me is Snow's icicle weapon that's double sided. The base was done with clear plastic, then wrapped around multiple times with clear ceran wrap as well as epoxy! Connecting the two sides is a single PVC pipe also covered by the same wrap. There are also highlights of blue throughout the prop to give off the feel that the entire thing is made out of ice! I also love the photos that have him in front of giant wooden clocks which definitely fit the overall theme that Lightning Returns has with going through time in order to stop the impending end of the world brought by Chaos! Detailed-Illusion always does a fantastic job with his cosplay and definitely chooses characters with very complex outfits. I hope you guys enjoy the photos!
