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.

Photography Spotlight: Darshelle Stevens!

Model: Lyz Brickley
I managed to meet one of my all-time favorite photographers at NYCC this year! If you've been following lots of cosplayers on Social Media, chances are you've seen really incredible photos that involve lots of awesome colors. Darshelle Stevens is based in California and has been doing photography for about 3+ years. While also available for doing weddings, it's her cosplay photos that I enjoy the most. Her work is similar in some aspects to Martin Wong who I featured a long time ago. This is mostly due to all the pretty colors that they both use. What Darshelle also does is add in crazy effects to really make the photos pop! I've got some of my favorite photos she's done so I hope you guys won't mind me gushing over them :).


Cosplayers: Liz Brickley, Jessica Nigri
For example, the photo on the right involves a combination of blue, pink and purple as well as smoke/fog covering Jessica mainly. Adding in her bombs for Ziggs, the picture becomes a crazy photo of two equally insane League of Legends Characters. The colors remind me of cotton candy :D. Each of Darshelle's pictures utilize the colors that are prominent in the cosplayer's outfit. This is shown with Ryan Cryptic's Handsome Jack from Borderlands The PreSequel, or the totally epic gender-bend Sephiroth by Mythic Roots Design and Cosplay!

I should also mention that Darshelle herself is pretty awesome at cosplay! She made an Angel cosplay from Borderlands 2 as part of a special event done by 2K and Gearbox! Paint splatters, snowy fields, cosmic background, all of these can be found in Darshelle's pictures and they're pretty epic! Don't believe me? CHECK THESE OUT :D
