Cosplay Feature: Lisa Mancini's Magik!

The Marvel Rivals cosplays keep on coming with various iterations of Magik done by cosplayer Lisa Mancini. Specifically, I have three versions that she's done over the last year or two since the cosplay was made & debuted. I myself am not too well-versed to the character so I'm mostly gonna be focusing on the outfit structure and how it's formed around Lisa. For starters, Magik's base costume starts off with a long platinum blonde wig with some wings added on top. Most likely this is done via a headband piece added in. Her main chest piece looks to be a tank top base in black with an armor chest piece layered on top. It does go all the way up to Lisa's neck so I have to wonder if she had any trouble moving her head around while wearing this. Magik has a mixture of long and short sleeved coverings for her arms. There's also different pauldrons on the shoulders. One of which is smoothed out with what I believe is the X-Men symbol on one and the other is covere...

Cosplay Feature: Rachel Nycole's Tifa!

Photo by Photosassin
Yay new Cosplayer for today's feature! It's funny, the way I plan these is that I schedule them 2-3 weeks in advance. If you have been paying attention to the gaming world with E3 being over, then you may be aware that Square Enix's mega hit Final Fantasy was announced to be in development for the PS4. No I'm not talking about a port, more like full fledged HD graphics that rival what the Advent Children movie looked like! So it's perfect that I'm featuring the super cute Rachel Nycole as Tifa Lockhart! Rachel is over in Canada and I discovered her work through browsing on Instagram. Eventually I looked at her page and definitely wanted to feature one of her outfits. Tifa was the best choice since she looks amazing as her. As you can see from the picture above, this is Tifa's classic outfit. So the white tank top and suspenders are present.

There's also the addition of the black skirt that's attached to the suspenders. Rachel also has the arms covered perfectly with red gloves and silver armor pieces for her elbows. These look to be either Worbla or craft foam! I love how her red boots look, shiny and a perfect shade to compliment the lighter red shades for her gloves. The wig looks especially beautiful on Rachel and her facial expressions look so calm and serene. The poses seen in the photos are also very relaxed and she definitely looks to be ready for battle.

The lighting in the pictures make her face look soft and gentle which might be what Rachel was going for with these photos. There's lots other cosplays she's done that highlight the cute factor but it was much easier to write about this since I have had such a crush on Tifa in the past. The photos look absolutely beautiful! Enjoy them everyone!
