Cosplay Feature: RiderCGA's King Daredevil!

Photo by Chazzy Baragiola The combination of being snowed in from the blizzard this past week PLUS being hooked hard into Cyberpunk 2077 made this post about a day late. Apologies for the delay but let's get started! I came across RiderCGA's awesome Daredevil during my collection of MAGFest pics so this is probably the last one for that specific convention. As you'll see from the images I found, Rider has a really awesome look/take on the Man Without Fear. Further research indicates that this is known as King Daredevil and is the title Matt Murdock took during a run back in 2022! Starting from the top, you can see a lot of red and black went into this look for the character. The top includes a red hood that hides just about the top of the mask the character is well known for. Small peek at the horns too!

Cosplay Showcase: Byndo Gehk's Swimsuit Squritle!

When Byndo Gehk announced she was working on a Swimsuit Squirtle gijinka for Colossal Con, I was instantly excited! She previously made a Totodile gijinka in the same style for the same con either last year or several years ago. As such, I really wanted to see how Byndo would recreate the iconic Water starter from Pokemon. Let's just say the final result is just oozing crazy levels of CUTE! Since this is a swimsuit, most of the material Byndo used is that shiny latex/vinyl you can find on well...most swimsuits. Therefore its perfect for absorbing water and doesn't get damaged. The main center piece is yellow with black lines that make the turtle pattern seen on Squirtle. Over on her back she has an adorable shell backpack and Squirtle's tail right on her butt! There's frilly ends for both the leg and arm ends of the main suit.

For her arms and legs, Byndo created similar coverings combining the bright shades of blue and yellow. The heels being worn are covered in blue with the same frilly pattern in yellow that's wrapped around them. I love how her wig is an even lighter shade of blue complete with a yellow bow in her hair. To show people that nostalgia feel, Byndo even had Squirtle Squad glasses created for her and fellow cosplayers that were part of her group! SQUIRTLE SQUAD RULES!

Byndo certainly knows how to pose for Squirtle and I just love her energy and smiles shown in them. The con itself looks to be tons of fun and I can tell Byndo had an absolute blast wearing this. The water shown in the background really works well with the cosplay and makes the colors pop lots more! I really REALLY want to be in a Pokemon shoot with her someday as my Greninja gijinka. Water Pokemon unite! Enjoy the rest of the pictures guys :D.

Seriously, from the bottom of my heart thank you for all the endless love and support for my passion in writing and making this last way longer than I had anticipated. I want to be a distinct voice in the cosplay world and this is the best way for me to express the appreciation and love for all the cosplayers I know and have met in my time, traveling to conventions. You're all aware of the amazing things cosplay has given me and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon. Thank you...so so much :D <3
