Cosplay Feature: Holly Bean Cosplay's Sypha from Castlevania!

Photo by David Ngo By the time you're reading this, I will have just gotten back from my first convention of the year, PAX East! You can hear all about it in a brand new episode of CosplayBytes! For now, let's go back a little bit further to MAGFest from January for even more gaming related cosplays. Holly Bean Cosplay here brought along her cosplay of the devoted mage Sypha from the Castlevania anime adaptation aired on Netflix. By the time of this posting, the original has aired two seasons plus a spin off called Nocturne starring another Belmont Descendant. You'll notice that even if the cosplay is relatively simple in its design, I love both the pose work that Holly has done in addition to the edited photos that came out of this. Starting from the top, Holly is rocking a short orange wig with a variety of curls and wefts seen on her sides and from the back. Then you have the main top piece all in a light shade of blue and layered.

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
