Cosplay Feature: Gray Oranges' Rikku!

Photo by David Ngo I won't ever shy away from writing about cosplays of Rikku's look from Final Fantasy X-2 and Gray Orange did a fantastic job portraying her in both the overall cosplay look PLUS the pose work. Of course I'll get to all that in due time but let's start at the top! It's certainly a cosplay worn for several events and I want to say I first saw this in the overall collection of MAGFest photos back in January of this year. I really love how the multiple braid strands are integrated into the blonde wig for starters. I can't tell if they're either part of the wig itself or the blue headband that's wrapped around. In any case, following this is a red scarf wrapped around Irini's neck before you then get to the yellow bikini top. Here, you can also see orange trim lines as part of the piece. Oh, I forgot to mention that the red scarf actually travels all the way down to her legs. These end points then transition to a yellow/orange gradient!

Cosplay Feature: Ultra Girl Sophii's Juliet Starling!


Following the Ultra Cosplay Girls has been an absolute delight since I really see the passion that both Sophii and Cissa have for cosplay along with making their outfits and attending conventions. When I learned that Sophii had a Juliet Starling cosplay being created for a few cons ago, I just had to feature it. The pictures that came back did not disappoint either. Here, Sophii chose Juliet's default outfit of the San Romero Knights cheerleading outfit. The quality of the cosplay definitely looks to be of top quality. I have to wonder also if that's Sophii's real hair or she just found a really good wig for her. The pics make it hard to differentiate between them. What's perhaps the most impressive part of this Juliet cosplay as is every single one, is the chainsaw.

The infamous Chainsaw looks to be made with wood and various other materials for the bottom bulk that holds the main blade part. The heart shapes on the top and bottom of the blade are expertly cut and I have to commend Sophii on doing such an incredible job on this. The cosplay has Juliet's parts down pretty well such as the top, pleated skirt, and knee high socks along with the high school's name on it.

Pose wise, Sophii really captures the character's "don't give a f***" attitude with so much sass, especially when you throw in the lollipop seen in some shots. She definitely has a lot of love for the characters she's cosplayed as and I've just been excited since day one to see her and Cissa grow as cosplayers as they travel to more conventions!  The cosplay as a whole works well for her! Enjoy the other pictures guys :D.
