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: Ivy Doomkitty's Victoria's Secret Angel Nick Fury!

Cosplayer Ivy Doomkitty certainly has incredible talent on top of a beyond gorgeous figure! I was pretty surprised to see that I had featured her only once before so I wanted to change that for you guys. At this year's San Diego Comic Con, Ivy teamed up with several other cosplayers for an Avengers themed shoot. What's interesting about this though is the concept behind it. If you didn't fully read the title, Ivy here is cosplaying as the classic Nick Fury as if he were a Victoria's Secret Angel! Hence the giant wings coming out of her backside. If I'm remembering correctly, Ivy and some of the other group members had assistance from Castle Corsetry in creating the base outfit which you see here. A blue tight corset with a blue bra placed over it. The bra is lined with an interesting pattern of black, blue and white dots!

Ivy's wig was beautifully done, long flowing brown hair with inserts of white extensions. These extensions call back to classic Fury's distinct hair style. Of course, it wouldn't be Nick Fury without the signature eye-patch! The white harness that Ivy made is especially interesting. Straps are seen coming down underneath the bra, but soon encase her entire bottom area, front and back. Ivy herself deemed it as the "@$$ cage". It looks like the harness also connects to her leggings as well as help supporting the wings.

Speaking of which, the wings look incredible. Made with a variety of wires and blue/white feathers, I believe Ivy stated that the back of it has a pattern which forms the SHIELD logo! How cool is that huh? :D. Wielding a small pistol, she looks both daring and seductive. Really capturing that Victoria's Secret look, Ivy nailed the poses and I'm impressed as always at the intricacy of the cosplay. You did an amazing job Ivy <3. Enjoy the other pictures I've got for you all!

If you haven't visited Ivy Doomkitty's page, you're missing out on so much! Not only has Ivy created a plethora of incredible cosplays, she's also a fantastic role model. Being a strong advocate for body positivity and cosplaying no matter what you look like. Her panels held at various conventions are definitely a treat from what I've heard. Wouldn't mind seeing it at least once! Miss you Ivy, hopefully I'll see you at NYCC! I promise you guys an interview with this beauty will happen this year!
