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 Feature: Chubear Cosplay's Lady Arthas!

For today, I wanted to show you the other half to the Stella Chuu/Chubear Cosplay duo with the latter! The cosplays that Olivia makes started getting my interest only about a month or two ago and she definitely brings in the badass along with the occasional derp. The cosplay I have is a gender-bend World of Warcraft character with the dreaded Lady Arthas! The outfit was created to match with Stella's Jaina Proudmoore! As such, Olivia wore this at Blizzcon this year in California! The cosplay was done with either foam or worbla for the armor construction! I am incredibly attracted to how the straps are done for the legs. Gives off that kind of shackled feeling, plus the rust/paint job for the armor pieces work so well!

For the wig, Olivia went with a long snow-white style which compliments the dark ice cold colors of the armor. The pauldrons are one of my favorite pieces along with the breastplate. The tiny skull pieces are a definite match to the real Arthas' design! Olivia also has an incredibly long and tattered cape extending all the way down to her feet. In some of the photos I have for you guys, there is also the addition to a small Ice Crown (SEE WHAT I DID THERE?) on her head.

Course you can't talk about an Arthas Menethil cosplay without mentioning the iconic FROSTMOURNE blade! It's incredibly well crafted and I appreciate the amount of work Olivia put into making this. The gauntlets were laced over leather gloves and there's also a small amount of fabric draped over between her legs. The effects added in some of the photos highlight the undead powers Arthas possesses. Though I wonder if this female form would last long in the cold reaches of Northrend? Fun fact, some of the pieces of this outfit were re-used for a Frozen/Arthas mash up cosplay (aptly titled Lich Queen Elsa)! I hope you guys enjoy the other pictures :)
