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 Showcase: K.O. Cosplay's Pokemon Gijinkas!

Captured by Beat Down Boogie
In an attempt to feature more cosplayers, I'm changing the way my features are written up. Mainly it'll just be more pictures and less words (possibly like 1 paragraph, I'm gonna try people!). With that being said I wanted to feature someone I found when looking for ideas to improve my Greninja gijinka! K.O. (Knock-Out) Cosplay has done a couple of Pokemon gijinkas that just blew me away! Her Wartortle was actually the one that made me consider if I should have made another weapon for Greninja but I decided against it. This cosplay was done--as she puts it--with a "Valkyrie" look hence the badass water sword! I love the designs on the blade and the shell pauldrons/hip armor!

In addition, K.O Cosplay did a Rayquaza and Suicune gijinka! Both of these have a head ornament with Rayquaza's face and Suicune's blue head...armor? They're also done with a more elegant look with long pieces of fabrics, capes and armor patterns. Rayquaza especially looks fierce while Suicune is calm in combination with the shots taken. Check out these awesome pictures!
