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: Courtney Michelle's Luffy!

I love discovering cosplayers who in my eyes, show lots of potential for the future. Whether in making amazing outfits or being possible guests at conventions. Only time will tell I suppose. Such is the case with Courtney Michelle! I've chatted with her several times before on SnapChat and other areas but only recently did I definitely check out her work. All I'll say is that I like what I see! It was actually Courtney's suggestion that I feature her Luffy cosplay since it was one of the recent ones in which she's proud of. What you guys see is what I imagine Luffy from One Piece would look like should his gender be swapped. You've got the red vest covering up a black bra along with short shorts and a yellow belt!

In addition, Courtney's wearing a beautiful long black wig and of course, Luffy's signature Straw Hat! There's also some necklace/jewelry wrapped around her left arm too! This cosplay definitely screams summer/spring time since it's very lightweight and perfect for those seasons! I love Courtney's poses as well since she seems to be a fan of the character in addition to the show/manga. Her makeup is also really cool here with the little scar you can see!

With this being such a simple outfit, that's really all I can say about it! The setting in the photos being both pool side and outdoors near trees is perfect and the photos look beautiful! Hope you guys enjoy them!
