Cosplay Feature: Gray Oranges' Rikku!

Photo by David Ngo I won't ever shy away from writing about cosplays of Rikku's look from Final Fantasy X-2 and Gray Orange did a fantastic job portraying her in both the overall cosplay look PLUS the pose work. Of course I'll get to all that in due time but let's start at the top! It's certainly a cosplay worn for several events and I want to say I first saw this in the overall collection of MAGFest photos back in January of this year. I really love how the multiple braid strands are integrated into the blonde wig for starters. I can't tell if they're either part of the wig itself or the blue headband that's wrapped around. In any case, following this is a red scarf wrapped around Irini's neck before you then get to the yellow bikini top. Here, you can also see orange trim lines as part of the piece. Oh, I forgot to mention that the red scarf actually travels all the way down to her legs. These end points then transition to a yellow/orange gradient!

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!
