Cosplay Feature: 16bitSami's Dancing Scyther!

Photo by Two Flame Studios Pokemon gijinkas never fail to impress me and 16bitSami's take on Scyther as a Scimitar Dancer immediately caught my eye in wanting to write about it. Done for Otakon earlier in the year, Sami states that she wanted to emulate the "dancer style vibes" she had for a previous take on Flareon. Not only that, but there are other elements taken from a Cowslip designed Scyther cosplay she did nearly 10 years ago :O. So if you want to let learn more about this gorgeous cosplay, let's dive in! Sami has a fantastic long green wig that has a sort of forest vibe with its shade. I'm not entirely sure if the armor piece directly on top of it is a leaf design of sorts but Sami has that rocking as additional headgear. Some of the pictures I have will also give a glimpse to a green hood that travels down her back with a gold trim on the edge. I really love the blend of clothing and armor that Sami utilized for this cosplay. When you get down to the main...

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
