Cosplay Feature: Shir0gami's Meta Knight!

Photo by RandomBystanderHere As someone who both is a huge fan of Meta Knight as a character in addition to having cosplayed as him years ago, I am ALWAYS gonna shout about any other takes on the famed swordsman. Shir0gami is one such person and created an amazing gijinka of him for this past MAGFest (yep, still on that event!). It's funny how for Shiro, Kirby Air Ride was her first exposure to the character as noted in one of her pinned posts on Instagram. Starting off the cosplay, you have Meta Knight's imposing mask which is the form taken for this cosplay. Shiro has a face mask done perfectly for MK in both the design and grey coloring. The visor slit gives her the ability to see which hopefully she was while in movement. Man, it's hard for me to not compare it to mine years ago and how what I made is vastly inferior to this XD. After the visor, you then have the iconic cape which includes to high propped up collar. This portion has a white layer for the opposite side t...

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 :)
