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: Ms Rae Cosplay's Sailor Pluto!


Another cosplayer I found during/after Wondercon this year was the ever so lovely Ms Rae! However the cosplay she has for today was debuted during Anime Boston a few months back. She only started cosplaying about a year ago with her Sailor Moon (which is adorable by the way!) and at AB, she along with several of her friends decided to cosplay the Outer Sailor Senshi. Ms. Rae took on the role of Sailor Pluto and she looks absolutely majestic! The cosplay itself is in the same fashion as the other Sailor Fukus that the aforementioned characters wear. The exception is the colors in certain areas, it seems that Sailor Pluto's prime color is dark green with a mix of dark red/purple. The skirt and heels appear to be black.

The deep turquoise green wig is absolutely beautiful and I love how the earrings and circlet work with it in terms of color. What's probably a signature part of this cosplay is Sailor Pluto's giant staff she wields as she guards the door of time. It looks incredibly well made and I'm unsure as to how it was done but I absolutely love it. The heart shape at the top of the staff with the red orb in the center looks incredible. The poses Rae makes are so dramatic and powerful. The staff looks to be very light on account of the poses where she lifts the staff very high. It was also commissioned/made by Blade and Board Workshop!

There are the typical parts which coordinate with Sailor Pluto's color including the sleeve cuffs. The editing in the photos is absolutely beautiful and I love the pink colors inserted into the hallway. I hope you guys like the other picture I have to share!
