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 Feature: Danielle Beaulieu's Kitty Cat Katarina!

I'd like to introduce you guys to another beautiful cosplayer on the East Coast who I found a few weeks before Katsucon started. Meet Danielle Beaulieu and her absolutely adorable Katarina from League of Legends! Specifically, Danielle is cosplaying as the Kitty Cat skin for her. This involves lots of white fur along with various straps both holding up her top and decorating her arm and leg bands. Despite the nature of the outfit being skimpy, I absolutely love how confident Danielle is in wearing it. She has an amazing figure and strikes fierce poses which I'll get into more down below! Leather straps are also decorating her shorts and Danielle is also brandishing Katarina's signature blades. The blades themselves look to be made with the usual prop making materials which include foam and possibly Worbla?

The long red wig Danielle has looks fantastic on her and it's also topped off with white cat ears. The etching on the blades look incredibly cool and the color choices match up to the in-game models! White gloves are also worn in addition to her arm bands. She also has straps higher up on her legs which have what looks like to be daggers inserted into them. It doesn't however look like they're actual weapons more like formed around the belt to look like them. In any case, it most certainly works for her.

The upper straps holding up her top are decorated with silver studs (as are most of the other ones) as well as a centered emblem piece. Danielle also applied some sweet makeup skills around her face with black whisker like lines and a scar that goes through one of her eyes. For her feet, Danielle has boots along with coverings for her lower legs. These are also done with white fur. I mentioned above how Danielle has a pretty amazing figure so it makes sense that she uses it well in the poses for Katarina. There are the calm stances along with her fierce battle poses. She also manages to add in sexy with the image you guys see up above. Danielle looks very relaxed there ^_^.  Enjoy the pictures guys!
