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!

If there's one thing I've seen thanks to the Internet is many variations on the classic Disney Princesses. From imagining them as Street Fighter characters, Star Wars Bounty Hunters and even World of Warcraft classes. Here I have cosplayer Jaime Poison cosplaying as Warrior Princess Ariel which is her own take on one of her favorite Disney Characters. I actually was able to see this in person as I managed to run into her during PAX East this year. It was cool that she knew who I was and let me tell you, she looked absolutely stunning! I love the red wig that she used since it looks so long and flows beautifully!

The shoulder piece was made out of Worbla and the sea shell bra looks super cute as well. The Trident is most impressive here as the staff itself was done with a wooden stick. The top part was crafted with the base done using wires and sculpting. On top of this was some clay baked up and a wooden dowel latched in place for support. This was then spray painted with some gold paint and a gold cord to finish it off. The green pants looks to be done in spandex and patterned out for that scale effect. Seriously this was so cool to see and I'm so glad I got to meet Jaime. I hope I get to see you again this year Jaime and hopefully talk for a longer period of time :). Enjoy the pictures guys!
