Cosplay Feature: Shiro Cos as Melinoe!

So I knew I was gonna get insanely addicted to Hades 2 but I wasn't expecting to essentially clear it all out a little over a month after it released. Having done so much in the first game it didn't take long for me to get back into the rouge-lite groove and do run after run to progress its story. So naturally that led to me wanting to find cosplayers that portrayed the main antagonist Melinoe. Shiro Cos was someone I came across early on as I was searching throughout Instagram with the game's hashtag attached and man does this look freaking awesome. To kick things off, the 3D files for some of the pieces like her weaponry in ADDITION to the killer shoot location were provided by cosplay collective  The Dangerous Ladies ! Shiro has a short bob cut blonde wig with a small leaf crown placed on top. That crown also has a silver moon symbol placed directly in the middle of it. This to help signify Melinoe's placement as one of the Silver Sisters. You'll notice that the ...

Cosplay Showcase: Uncanny Megan is ADORABLE!

Photo by Firecloak
One cosplayer I had the absolute pleasure to finally meet at NYCC was Uncanny Megan! She was working with Artist Scott Blair over down in the Artist Alley. Having been following her work for awhile I was psyched to see which outfit she brought along and those were Phoenix from X-Men and casual on Sunday! If I had to describe her cosplay work it would mostly end up on the side of adorable and SO MUCH CUTENESS AHHH!! I mean just look at her Dark Magician girl above? The pose Megan makes is perfect! Most of her cosplays come from anime and comic books as I feel those are her main outlets to geek over. Megan has been cosplaying for a few years and I want to dive into the various outfits she's done for today. Possible interview in the future? I think she's down for it!!

As you'll see in the photos I have for you guys, Megan's primary loves are with the manga/anime Dragonball and X-Men! Although that hasn't stopped her from cosplaying DC girls like Supergirl and Harley Quinn! On the DBZ side, Megan has done various outfits of Bulma from a casual look to the bunny suit seen on the left! X-Men wise she's done Polaris, various versions of Jean Grey/Phoenix, and even male characters like Nightcrawler! I also recall Megan making a pretty awesome Beast Boy!

When it comes to posing, she really knows the character. Her Bulmas are happy and cheerful, whereas Phoenix looks intimidating. Megan also loves collecting toys and I imagine certain statues have had an impact in cosplay selection. We talked about NYCC exclusives when we saw her on Sunday and she expressed a desire to get an exclusive Vegeta statue from a vendor. She definitely enjoyed seeing the Nightwing statue I got :D

Not only is Megan a fantastic coslpayer, she's also really good at drawing! Seriously, in her spare time, Megan will go out and purchase comics with a plain white cover and draw on them. Afterwards she'll list them on Ebay for those who would be interested and I'll include a link to her site down below if you want to look! Meeting Megan was lots of fun and she was such a sweetheart! I hope I'll get to see her soon, for now enjoy the pictures I have for you guys!
