Shutting One Door, Keeping others Open

UPDATED ON 8/20/21: Facebook, Patreon and Blog IG pages have been shutdown/discontinued As the COVID pandemic rages on and cons are even shutting down into 2021, it got me thinking on a drive home one night about how I'd feel with even coming back to blogging. When cons eventually do come back at some point. Truth be told, many of the posts and content I shared here could be transferred over to more discussions via my podcast CosplayBytes. I've been blogging my love for games, cons and cosplay for 7 years now and maybe it's time to say goodbye for now? My podcast has gotten me some incredible opportunities as a member of Press for conventions, and the rapid love I've had for streaming is also taking up a lot of time now. On top of multiple personal things on my end, I don't think I have the energy to keep this up even post COVID you know? The very first cosplay centered post I wrote was on Jessica Nigri's Deadpool, and since then it's spawned over 800 posts

Cosplay Feature: Rachel Nycole's Tifa!

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!
