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: Stella Chuu's Supergirl Kai

Today I have the energetic and badass cosplayer Stella Chuu! Stella on top of being a cosplayer is also part of a nerd burlesque group! Rather than focus on that (hopefully in an interview maybe?), I have an incredible cosplay she created for San Diego Comic Con this year. The character is Supergirl from DC Comics but rather it being her traditional look, it's driven from a statue! The statue being part of Square Enix's Play Arts Kai line which has designer Tetsuya Nomura basically create more over the top versions of your favorite characters! Have you seen his Batman one? FREAKING NUTS!

Stella's Supergirl is from what I saw, mainly sewn using fabric that could be mistaken for armor if you didn't look close enough. I'm thinking maybe it's some kind of vinyl? Her Supergirl also includes a Nerf Sword which she painted and the poses she makes are awesome! The cosplay was debuted alongside her friend Chubear Cosplay who wore Wonder Woman from the same line of statues. The blue and red colors of the cosplay work incredible together and the wig looks beautiful. There weren't many photos of them in poses so alongside what I have, there are also work-in-progress pictures. Enjoy guys!
