Cosplay Feature: Shir0gami's Meta Knight!

Photo by RandomBystanderHere As someone who both is a huge fan of Meta Knight as a character in addition to having cosplayed as him years ago, I am ALWAYS gonna shout about any other takes on the famed swordsman. Shir0gami is one such person and created an amazing gijinka of him for this past MAGFest (yep, still on that event!). It's funny how for Shiro, Kirby Air Ride was her first exposure to the character as noted in one of her pinned posts on Instagram. Starting off the cosplay, you have Meta Knight's imposing mask which is the form taken for this cosplay. Shiro has a face mask done perfectly for MK in both the design and grey coloring. The visor slit gives her the ability to see which hopefully she was while in movement. Man, it's hard for me to not compare it to mine years ago and how what I made is vastly inferior to this XD. After the visor, you then have the iconic cape which includes to high propped up collar. This portion has a white layer for the opposite side t...

Cosplay Feature: Deanna Davis' Injustice Green Arrow!

Photo by Daniel Zuchink
At New York Comic Con this year, cosplayer Deanna Davis constructed a genderbent version of Green Arrow as he appears in the video game Injustice: Gods Among Us! This was done for the company she was working with at the con Triforce Props! I got to see this outfit in person and let me tell you, it was completely badass looking. The varying shades of green Deanna used for making this suit are awesome. The small spots of yellow also complement the full cosplay really well. Add in the fact that she made arrows and used the bow provided by Triforce, lots of amazing poses were achievable! For Deanna, Oliver Queen is one of those heroes she can somewhat relate too with both of them having a skill in archery (how cool is that?). The arm/leg pads and the hood look like they're of a very soft fleece-like material which looks so cool you guys!

Deanna used what looks like to be black boots with armor plating over them. These are of course decorated green and yellow. She also has black knee pads and straps throughout the outfit. I love this cosplay so much you guys, both because Deanna is such a fantastic cosplayer and my DC biased nature is showing :). The poses she makes in the pictures perfectly capture Green Arrow's nature and attitude. Plus the various lighting effects used in the photos give the green sections lots of options.

What I mean by that is that sometimes the outfit looks regular, some parts look brighter, or some look darker. Such like the photo Deanna took on the left! She utilized shadow effects (I can assume at least) to really show contrast on her main bodysuit. The weathering effects she used on her arm guards and legs are just so badass! This cosplay overall is just so well done and I can tell Deanna had an absolute blast making it :D. Enjoy the other pictures I have for you guys!
