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!

The Awesome Work of ESKJ Shoes and Art

For today, I've got something different for you guys in terms of a feature! The lovely lady on the left above is Jessica Huard. She's done several cosplays here and there but her real talent lies in making amazing custom shoes for females. It just so happens that majority of her commissions involve nerdy subjects. The shoes are high heel like and include images of characters ranging from various franchises. Zelda, Game of Thrones, Princess Mononoke, Pokemon, pretty much every genre of geek is represented here. I don't exactly know the entire process for each shoe but I imagine they can be different or similar in make. Jessica also has done made bras with one being Mass Effect related with the N7 logo adorned on them!

The shoes Jessica makes definitely look to be high quality and she spends so much time on them. As I mentioned above, Jess also has done several cosplays. The top photo shows her with model Lindsay Tatertot in Team Rocket lingerie (that I think Jess created too!). She's also done a gender bend Dark Link which looks haunting and badass when you take in the scenery that accompanies the pictures.

Other cosplays for Jessica include a Female Geralt from the Witcher and the Snow Bunny skin of Nidalee from League of Legends! The latter cosplay she just recently had a shoot in with other girls including Vicky Lau of Vivid Vision and I can't wait to see pictures from it! The shoes she makes definitely have that high quality look to them! I'm unsure of what else I can say that hasn't already been said so take a look at photos of Jessica's work!
