Cosplay Feature: Kels Cosplay's Rumi!

Photo by Raymond Ho One of the biggest crazes to have happened last year was the arrival of K-Pop Demon Hunters on Netflix over the summer. Between the insane visuals and catchy songs, it's no surprise that the characters themselves latched onto so many creators. Of course this led to a cosplay explosion after the film's release which continues on to MAGFest. I figured at some point I'd want to share a Demon Hunters cosplay here soon and Kels Cosplay came in with a fantastic look at Rumi, the band's leader & prime vocalist. Specifically you have the outfit worn during the last act of the film. Kels also looks to have done a slight variation featuring some makeup but I'll get to that later on in the writeup. The first version of the look includes a bedazzled black crop jacket with various golden stripes and accents throughout. You also get to see various gold chains traveling down the jacket.

Cosplay Feature: Spectra Marvelous' Scorpion!

Photo by David Ngo
For today, I have an awesome cosplayer who you might know by his page name of Spectra Marvelous! In addition to being a part of Nerd Caliber for video interviews with certain cosplayers, Spectra makes some pretty badass cosplays, some of which revolve around armor. The cosplay I have today is Scorpion's look from the NetherRealm game Injustice: Gods Among Us. It makes sense for the famed Mortal Kombat character to have made a guest appearance considering NetherRealm is also responsible for MK. This design (done by famous comic artist Jim Lee) is a more armored look which is something Spectra is skilled in. Majority of this cosplay was done with EVA Foam which is a material that he's most knowledgeable on. Most of the armor is shown on the front and the pictures I have for you guys don't show the back side so it's unclear whether or not there's armor there as well.

The front armor plate is segmented into 3 pieces in addition to the belt. The layout/style of this looks suspiciously like a scorpion tale which well...makes sense for the character. Scorpion's mask retains his signature look along with a hood covering his head. There are also arm bracers that coordinate with the rest of the outfit color wise. The armor is placed on top of black clothing pieces that give off that ninja vibe. The blades are symmetrical and consist of a gold handle and gray/silver blade.

There's heavy plating on the leg armor and I really love the etching detailing on them along with the rest of the armor. Pose wise, Spectra definitely looks fierce and ready to tear a new one into his opponent. I imagine when striking these poses, the catchphrase "GET OVER HERE!" was probably at the forefront of his mind. Overall I love how this cosplay came out and Spectra definitely did an amazing job on it! Hope you guys enjoy the pictures ^_^.
