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: DeAnna Davis' Misty!


The minute I saw the first picture DeAnna/It's Raining Neon posted of her Misty cosplay from Pokemon, I fell in love with it right then and there. This was a fairly simple cosplay that DeAnna was able to make and she looks just absolutely adorable. I really love the back shots she took since it looks very attractive. Not only was the outfit done but DeAnna also created a Staryu prop which has a drainage system so it can be submerged underwater easily as well as float! DeAnna stated on her page that the most difficult part was taking proper photos and staying in character. How would this be a problem? Well I forgot to mention the fact that this was done in a public area/pool spot.

Multiple people were looking at her occasionally wondering what the heck she was doing all posing in front of a camera with no one else taking the shots. This also caused the shoot to take about 4 hours rather than 1 hour at best. The colors are so bright and the Staryu stands at about 3.5ft tall! I would love to see this cosplay in person and DeAnna looks like she's having lots of fun with the photos. Cute faces and sassy poses seriously make this photo shoot awesome. DeAnna, YOU'RE A PERFECT MISTY! <3 I hope you guys enjoy the pictures!
