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 Showcase: Henchmen Props!

Photo by Larry Alan Photography
Today, I've got another badass cosplayer to share for you guys. Jordan Duncan is based up in Canada though you might know him by his business name/alias Henchmen Props. Much like Bill Doran of Punished Props (who I've featured before), Jordan makes some pretty amazing stuff and also has the skills to back it up with some mind blowing cosplays. He's on the physical fit side which means characters like Kreig the Psycho from Borderlands (above with Jessica Nigri's Mad Moxxi) and Lee Sin from League of Legends are no brainer outfits for him! Some characters Jordan has cosplayed as are gender-bends of females which I'll get into a bit down below. The props created are made from a variety of techniques Jordan has learned and picked up while spending time in this hobby.

In terms of gender bends, Jordan's done several including San from Princess Mononoke (along with Lyz Brickley on the left) and Vi's default skin from League of Legends as well. For Vi he also created her signature giant gauntlets which I saw kinda briefly at NYCC this year. Like some others I've shown who were also at NYCC, I didn't get a chance to introduce myself to him so hopefully it won't be long till I see him again! Jordan also did some cel-shading work on his chest for Kreig and it looks absolutely amazing!

All the props and armor for Krieg were done by him and they definitely have that cartoon/cel shaded look to them. The detailing is so well done and even the mask looks badass! Other outfits he's done include the upcoming Arkham Knight character from Batman: Arkham Knight! The photo shoot he did along with Yaya Han's Catwoman and Jessica's Harley Quinn was pretty much perfect! Take a look at some of the other pictures I gathered up for you guys!
