Cosplay Feature: Holly Bean Cosplay's Sypha from Castlevania!

Photo by David Ngo By the time you're reading this, I will have just gotten back from my first convention of the year, PAX East! You can hear all about it in a brand new episode of CosplayBytes! For now, let's go back a little bit further to MAGFest from January for even more gaming related cosplays. Holly Bean Cosplay here brought along her cosplay of the devoted mage Sypha from the Castlevania anime adaptation aired on Netflix. By the time of this posting, the original has aired two seasons plus a spin off called Nocturne starring another Belmont Descendant. You'll notice that even if the cosplay is relatively simple in its design, I love both the pose work that Holly has done in addition to the edited photos that came out of this. Starting from the top, Holly is rocking a short orange wig with a variety of curls and wefts seen on her sides and from the back. Then you have the main top piece all in a light shade of blue and layered.

Why She's my Favorite: Vampy Bit Me.



Cosplayer Vampy Bit Me is certainly one interesting woman. From first glance at looking at her posts, you'd think she's a metal head totally into weird goth stuff and such. Firstly you wouldn't be wrong, she's DEFINITELY a metal head. However behind that exterior is one of the most sweet and positive cosplayers I've met EVER! Linda has incredible standards for her cosplays and has an absolute joy in the creation process. Cranking out cosplays left and right, sometimes more than one at a time! Seeing her tweet out the late hours working on her cosplays is mind blowing and a bit crazy. I've had the pleasure of meeting Linda on several occasions and she has such a delightful personality. Loving my cosplays and always with a smile. I just feel bad that I haven't had the ability to spend more time in conversation with her!

 What I mostly love is following her Twitter adventures. On top of posting her cosplay days, Linda also gives the best advice, both cosplay wise and life! She also is rarely negative/mean it's like...girl do you GET MAD? The positivity she sends out is incredibly refreshing for the cosplay community. ALSO SHE LIKES NIGHTWING AS MUCH AS ME YAYYYYYY!! Sorry had to get that out there! Her cosplays push her skill level to the max and Linda is always enjoying learning a new material or technique.

She's covered so many genres from games, comics to anime. I can only hope to get on the level she's at one day. Though I myself am unsure as to how much longer I'll be cosplaying. Life gets in the way you know? I plan on hopefully seeing her again at NYCC this year if she's in attendance and I NEED to get me one of her awesome Fiend or Fauxx Shirts! Maybe another print I don't know yet ^_^.

To Linda, thank you for being an immensely positive light for me both personally and cosplay wise. I've only experienced crazy amounts of cosplay work like you have on one prop and I hope you'll enjoy the next outfit i have done for NYCC this year. Keep on rocking girl, don't ever change <3
