Cosplay Feature: Lisa Mancini's Magik!

The Marvel Rivals cosplays keep on coming with various iterations of Magik done by cosplayer Lisa Mancini. Specifically, I have three versions that she's done over the last year or two since the cosplay was made & debuted. I myself am not too well-versed to the character so I'm mostly gonna be focusing on the outfit structure and how it's formed around Lisa. For starters, Magik's base costume starts off with a long platinum blonde wig with some wings added on top. Most likely this is done via a headband piece added in. Her main chest piece looks to be a tank top base in black with an armor chest piece layered on top. It does go all the way up to Lisa's neck so I have to wonder if she had any trouble moving her head around while wearing this. Magik has a mixture of long and short sleeved coverings for her arms. There's also different pauldrons on the shoulders. One of which is smoothed out with what I believe is the X-Men symbol on one and the other is covere...

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!
