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: Amie Lynn's Vincent Valentine!

Photo by Saffels Photography
Amie Lynn definitely has so much talent and love for the cosplays she makes and I just HAD to feature this recent cosplay she made for Anime Expo (I think?). Also because it captures my Final Fantasy 7 feels. Here, Amie is cosplaying straight up as everyone's favorite loner/brooding pseudo-vampire Vincent Valentine. Literally there's so much here that Amie got right that I'm fan-girling at these pictures. From the long red tattered cape, to the many belts adorned on it alongside her bodysuit. The infamous golden claw and shoe armor looks perfect. Seeing the progress pictures of these specifically was a treat to see. Amie's wig is perfect as well, and her facial expressions are practically dead on when it comes to Vincent who, if you know the character, shows very little expression in the games/movies.

The red fabric for the cape I'm betting has that semi rough feel to it. That's at least what I'm picking up based on the photos here. The golden parts are most likely done with Worbla and Amie managed to construct them to have her hand moveable! If I remember correctly, Amie didn't have time to make Vincent's famous gun Cerberus and went with a common pistol instead. That's perfectly fine by me since I'm mainly captivated by the rest of the cosplay. The belt placements on the cape is just perfect and I love how loose some of them are, which is fantastic in staying true to the character.

The fiery red contacts are a nice touch here too! The corset like top part of the suit fits her well and the black leggings certainly help with her maneuvering around I bet. Amie's got that stoic look in all of the pictures I have for you which again, is completely in character. This is definitely one cosplay I want to see in person. Enjoy the other pictures guys :D
