Cosplay Feature: 16bitSami's Dancing Scyther!

Photo by Two Flame Studios Pokemon gijinkas never fail to impress me and 16bitSami's take on Scyther as a Scimitar Dancer immediately caught my eye in wanting to write about it. Done for Otakon earlier in the year, Sami states that she wanted to emulate the "dancer style vibes" she had for a previous take on Flareon. Not only that, but there are other elements taken from a Cowslip designed Scyther cosplay she did nearly 10 years ago :O. So if you want to let learn more about this gorgeous cosplay, let's dive in! Sami has a fantastic long green wig that has a sort of forest vibe with its shade. I'm not entirely sure if the armor piece directly on top of it is a leaf design of sorts but Sami has that rocking as additional headgear. Some of the pictures I have will also give a glimpse to a green hood that travels down her back with a gold trim on the edge. I really love the blend of clothing and armor that Sami utilized for this cosplay. When you get down to the main...

Cosplay Feature: Colin Bass' Nightwing!

At RI Comic Con this year, I had the pleasure of finally meeting cosplayer/actor Colin Bass. Having discovered him through fellow cosplayer Nicole Marie Jean, I was super excited to find out that Colin also has an appreciation towards Nightwing/Dick Grayson! As such, I'm going to be talking about the Nightwing cosplay he wears at conventions and when he's acting on web-series (which I'll also get into a little bit.). At RI Comic Con, Colin and I talked a little bit about what we enjoy about Nightwing as a character and how we first came across him. Colin mentioned that apparently one of his first words spoken when he was little was the chorus to the Adam West/Burt Ward Batman show. Growing up enjoying Batman led him to mainly follow Grayson as the first Robin who then evolved into Nightwing.


Fast forward to now, Colin mainly wears either Nightwing or different variations of Superman as portrayed in the show Smallville. For Nightwing, Colin has the trademark suit with the classic blue emblem outlined. In terms of gear, Colin had the mask and several other parts made by the awesome sculptor ReevzFX! Escrima sticks are also present as the main weapon for Nightwing. When it comes to posing, holy crap does Colin have the look down solid. He has the seemingly perfect look for Dick Grayson which can be described as one of the good-looking superheroes of the DC Universe. You also probably hear that he gets lots of ladies XD. The fighting stances Colin makes match Nightwing perfectly and he portrays the character to an awesome effort on the web-series he stars in titled Young Justice: Abduction! I've got more pics of Colin as Nightwing down below for you guys, hope you enjoy them :)
