Cosplay Feature: Laney Feni's Supergirl!

  Photo by Maze Studio The last time I shared cosplayer Laney Feni, it was via her amazing Fem Aquaman cosplay she did a few years ago. Originally for today's piece I wanted to gush over how stellar she looks in her Post-Apocalyptic version of Supergirl but that led me to sharing with you another version that's more of the character's classic look. If you were to dive into her cosplay portfolio, Laney has definitely cosplayed Kara Zor-El numerous times but this version draws heavy inspiration in both the design and feel of the old Zack Snyder take on Superman. Between this classic design and the other variant I mentioned earlier, the only difference really boils down to pants and the cape's use. We'll get to that later of course! For starters, Kara's look here consists of a long sleeved tank top like piece and pants with the midriff being shown. I'm pretty sure that this is Laney's natural hair too which really is perfect for Supergirl!

Cosplay Feature: Joanna Mari's Wonder Woman!


For today I have another insanely talented cosplayer who I discovered in my searching spree of brand new people to show off! Joanna Mari is a Special FX artist who cosplays on the side. Some of her outfits like the one above are incredible. For NYCC this year, Joanna created an incredibly battle damaged Wonder Woman with a shield and blade. The cosplay was entered into the Eastern Cosplay Championships at the convention and was well received. The outfit has Diana's signature leotard that's red and blue with stars along the bottom. Laced on the red part is the chest plated design! It looks to be made with the same material that most of her other armor was created with which was Worbla.


The armor pieces and shield are weathered down to match the look of Wonder Woman having just been in an epic battle. Looking at her WIP photos, Joanna did an amazing job with covering the pieces with gesso and layering down the intricate designs that the armor is shown with. The make up and effects she placed on her body are absolutely amazing and life like! Wouldn't expect anything less considering she's skilled in FX makeup! The poses in some of the photos like the one above match Diana's nature of being a strong willed female. There aren't too many pics I have for you guys but you should definitely check out her page for her WIP pictures :D. I wish I was able to find her at RICC a few weeks ago, but I'm definitely keeping an eye on more of her incredible cosplay work!
