Cosplay Feature: Shiro Cos as Melinoe!

So I knew I was gonna get insanely addicted to Hades 2 but I wasn't expecting to essentially clear it all out a little over a month after it released. Having done so much in the first game it didn't take long for me to get back into the rouge-lite groove and do run after run to progress its story. So naturally that led to me wanting to find cosplayers that portrayed the main antagonist Melinoe. Shiro Cos was someone I came across early on as I was searching throughout Instagram with the game's hashtag attached and man does this look freaking awesome. To kick things off, the 3D files for some of the pieces like her weaponry in ADDITION to the killer shoot location were provided by cosplay collective  The Dangerous Ladies ! Shiro has a short bob cut blonde wig with a small leaf crown placed on top. That crown also has a silver moon symbol placed directly in the middle of it. This to help signify Melinoe's placement as one of the Silver Sisters. You'll notice that the ...

You can probably tell that I both have the biggest cosplay crush on Kristen Hughey along with feeling incredibly lucky that she's such a sweet friend to have. When I saw that Kristen was planning to do Janna from League of Legends, my excitement shot up :D. Janna is one of those characters that I just infinitely love from her gorgeous design. I featured Jessica Nigri's Janna a while back last year I think so this was a no brainer. With the cosplay being the default outfit, you got the white and gold color scheme. Alongside her signature staff, the gold inserts definitely shine in the pictures. Kristen here has the breastplate placed around her chest. The lower parts of the cosplay consist of the center piece and her hip armors. They all look to be done with the same materials of foam and or Worbla.

I really admire Kristen's figure in this cosplay. Everything just falls into place so perfectly! The golden designs on the armor stand out with the gem stones taking center place. Her hands are covered with white gloves of sorts and gold trimmings on the edge. The crown looks to be done the same way as the top section of Kristen's staff. Upon taking a closer look, I saw that the staff itself was done with PVC pipe being my best guess! Elf ears can be seen here which match up to Janna's design.

The hip armor have an interesting shape with a round part curving upwards on a point. White drapes are seen in the bottom section. Pose wise, Kristen looks incredibly elegant and this is definitely one cosplay I would love to see in person. Her face looks so radiant too! Already see myself making one of the pictures my background soon :D. Take a look at the other pictures and see for yourself! I may be getting my hopes up but it would be amazing if I got to match with her at RICC this year <3.

If you haven't checked out Kristen Hughey on FB, you must fix that ASAP! She's been so amazing to me and I'm lucky I have her support in the many things I do cosplay wise! I promise the 2nd part of our interview will happen, either at RI Comic Con or afterwards. Some questions I definitely want to ask her that should go into more specific details about Kristen! Love ya lots :)
