Cosplay Feature: Kels Cosplay's Rumi!

Photo by Raymond Ho One of the biggest crazes to have happened last year was the arrival of K-Pop Demon Hunters on Netflix over the summer. Between the insane visuals and catchy songs, it's no surprise that the characters themselves latched onto so many creators. Of course this led to a cosplay explosion after the film's release which continues on to MAGFest. I figured at some point I'd want to share a Demon Hunters cosplay here soon and Kels Cosplay came in with a fantastic look at Rumi, the band's leader & prime vocalist. Specifically you have the outfit worn during the last act of the film. Kels also looks to have done a slight variation featuring some makeup but I'll get to that later on in the writeup. The first version of the look includes a bedazzled black crop jacket with various golden stripes and accents throughout. You also get to see various gold chains traveling down the jacket.

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
