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: Kristen Hughey's Cammy!

I had the pleasure of seeing Kristen Hughey again at RI Comic Con a few weeks ago and interviewed her (which you can view here!). This got me wanting to show another of her superb cosplays. Looking through her work I thought it would be appropriate to talk about her Cammy from Street Fighter since it's one of the best I've seen! It's also one of the two cosplays I met her in last year (at the same convention too!). Kristen's Cammy is a somewhat simple outfit with a single leotard that looks to be made out of various vinyl/leather like material. It's also in varying shades of green! I'm gonna take a guess and say that Kristen obviously wore tights underneath with those stray green marks running along her legs as well :).

In addition, Kristen has her iconic battle gloves in bright red to match the beret! The gloves look to be done with foam (maybe Worbla?). The beret looks to be definitely soft as well. I love what Kristen did with her hair too, the ponytail reaches down to her bottom area! In the photos I have for you guys, Kristen captures the essence of what Cammy is. That being a tough fighter with hardened poses from the front and behind (especially that since it's what Cammy is known for...butts XD). I loved seeing Kristen again and I hope it won't be long to see her again next year! Hope you guys like the photos! :D
