Cosplay Feature: Malicious Cosplay's Sailor Mega Man!

Photo by NeoAlf By the time you're reading this, Katsucon will have officially kicked off in the same location as MAGFest. And as I'm typing this up on a Weds, cosplayers have already started making the trek down to the location. "Day Zero" kicks off tomorrow in some instances for creators. With that being said, the cosplay work from MAG is still present in these write-ups! The festival itself always takes on a central theme to the event and it's easily spotted with how the logo is designed. This year, MAGFest took inspiration from the classic Mega Man games using the font/design from Mega Man X. Cosplayer Malicious Cosplay really took that theme to heart by cosplaying as the famous robot but putting a Sailor Scout outfit on him and giving a pretty stellar transformation in the process!

Cosplay Feature: Leanna Vamp's Lara Croft!


For today I have the last cosplayer I was recommended to check out during NYCC! Her name is LeeAnna Vamp and man is she definitely the mischievous type. One genre she admires is horror so she markets herself as "The Ghoul of Your Dreams" on her Facebook page but she's not limited by that as her only outlet of cosplay! She's done various gender-bends such as Han Solo, Boba Fett alongside of course female versions of Freddy from Nightmare on Elm Street and Ash from Army of Darkness. Today however, I've got LeeAnna as the iconic video game heroine Lara Croft from Tomb Raider! The outfit chosen is I believe from the Tomb Raider movies and Tomb Raider: Underworld (unless that was a movie title in which case I apologize). The outfit is similar to Monika Lee's version yet LeeAnna really shows off her facial expressions here.

The outfit consists of a dark brown tank top and booty shorts. Various straps are shown across the outfit for Lara's necessary equipment including holsters on her legs for the 2 guns you see above! Leather gloves are also present which adds in the badass look that LeeAnna is trying to capture here. Can't forget about the black combat boots too! Yup she definitely looks like someone I would not want to mess with! There's also a backpack shown which is a staple element for Lara. I really like the photo quality of the shots as they give off that Hollywood vibe! Plus she has the perfect hair for Lara! I feel bad that I wasn't able to make time to introduce myself to LeeAnna at NYCC, she was over at the Artist Alley. She's definitely the kind of person who seems to be incredibly sweet! I hope you guys enjoy the pictures below and I plan to feature more of her work! Interview perhaps? We'll have to see :)
