Cosplay Feature: Kate Sarkissian's Feraligatr!

Photo by Kris Andi Anime Expo has come and gone and it's always a blast seeing what cosplayers bring whether it's a tried and true outfit or something brand new. I feel like for many of the conventions Kate's attended, she has a drive to create something brand new. It's definitely fun watching her share mini crafting videos on her Instagram stories. Nice little glimpse into the WIP setup! When it was shared that she was going to be doing a gijinka of Feraligatr from Pokemon's second generation, I really got amped up and excited. If you're not aware, Totodile is my all time favorite Pokemon starter and his evolution line is pretty fantastic. My own history with Feraligatr on my team goes all the way back to the days of Pokemon Colosseum! Kate's version of the water type is definitely skimpy in some ways but when you're in the blazing summer heat in CA, you got to make sure you're comfortable right? The main top piece consists of two parts covering up ...

For today I've got my awesome friend Nikki Kristan who I interviewed not too long ago! In fact I anticipated this to come before the interview but it was great that she got it done sooner for me. The cosplay Nikki's wearing is Tera from the Teen Titans of DC Comics! The cosplay is fairly simple and I can tell Nikki had lots of fun wearing her. For Nikki, Tera is someone who she relates the most to and the old cartoon is one of Nikki's favorite shows. I wonder what she thinks of the current series "Teen Titans Go!". Black boots and yellow short shorts are shown along with a tank top that has Terra's symbol smack dab in the center.

The wig is long and blonde plus Nikki is also wearing brown heavy duty-like gloves. The goggles worn on her head have a bright red-orange tint on the outside. The poses Nikki makes in the photos you'll see really match up to what you'd expect Terra to make. Some are somber and look like she's in deep thought/unsure of what to do, others are battle poses so imagine Nikki's about to control some rocks or Earth-like items and hurl them at you! This was one of the first cosplays I saw Nikki in when I discovered her for the first time and I love it. I hope you guys do :)
