Cosplay Feature: SpookyMoogs Bikini Sonic!

Photo by Togith Photography It's the day after Christmas, winter has started and I'm ending the year with a bikini cosplay? No wait that sounds about right for me! I came across SpookyMoogs awhile ago when it came to searching for new people to share and her bikini take on the world's fastest hedgehog caught my eye, For starters, I love the wig choice being your standard fare with the long portions on the sides plus the cute little ears on the top. There's one shot you'll see later that really shows off the length of the wig extending out from the back. The ears are super small in their size & length. Best bet is she may have utilized the headband trick for having them stay in place. Then you get to the bikini portion itself which looks to be a mixture of 2 pieces. There's a one piece portion that has some space opening up on both Moogs' front and back sides. Then it looks like the normal chest piece is separate based on how it's layered next to the ...

Cosplay Feature: Destiny Nickelsen's Rocket Raccoon


When I saw Guardians of the Galaxy, I knew I was going to have a great time watching the movie. I enjoyed it so much that I'm following a new on-going focused on one of the characters from the film. None other than the gun toting crazed raccoon that you see Destiny Nickelsen cosplaying up above! The outfit Destiny is wearing comes from Rocket's earlier days in comics and can mostly be seen now if you've played the updated version of Marvel vs. Capcom 3. I appreciate the fact that she didn't go the "sexy" route that you would find most cosplayers go for and having seen 2 already in that style, this was pretty badass!

The cosplay involves a uniform like top with the center being a rectangle with red trims and 6 buttons with 3 on each side. Red gloves and blue dress pants it seems also finish the outfit. The belt buckle has several pouches where you can imagine Destiny would hold various mini guns/grenades but instead she carries around Rocket's signature gun (I think?). I included work-in-progress shots she posted so you can see how that was made. What's perhaps my favorite part is the hair, ears and how Destiny did the eye makeup. The makeup around her eyes captures Rocket's look, add in fangs and she definitely looks fierce. The ears look like to be constructed in the same manner as the giant tail Destiny has on the back. Furry tail ahoy! I hope you guys enjoy the pictures! :D
