Cosplay Feature: 16bitSami's Dancing Scyther!

Photo by Two Flame Studios Pokemon gijinkas never fail to impress me and 16bitSami's take on Scyther as a Scimitar Dancer immediately caught my eye in wanting to write about it. Done for Otakon earlier in the year, Sami states that she wanted to emulate the "dancer style vibes" she had for a previous take on Flareon. Not only that, but there are other elements taken from a Cowslip designed Scyther cosplay she did nearly 10 years ago :O. So if you want to let learn more about this gorgeous cosplay, let's dive in! Sami has a fantastic long green wig that has a sort of forest vibe with its shade. I'm not entirely sure if the armor piece directly on top of it is a leaf design of sorts but Sami has that rocking as additional headgear. Some of the pictures I have will also give a glimpse to a green hood that travels down her back with a gold trim on the edge. I really love the blend of clothing and armor that Sami utilized for this cosplay. When you get down to the main...

Cosplay Showcase: FakeNerdBoy makes some Badass Outfits!

I'm giving you all something a little different for today! If there's one cosplayer that's got my eye in terms of how awesome his cosplays are, it's Ryan or as he goes online as FakeNerdBoy. I couldn't find one outfit that had multiple photoshoot like shots taken so instead, I've gathered up several that can give you a pretty good idea as to how talented he is. Most of the cosplays you'll see here are armor based such as his Advanced Warfare outfit you see above. There's another shot you'll see below that shows the full scope of it. All I'll say is that it's insanely intricate and incredibly well made! All of the cosplays you see were done with the combination of Worbla and EVA Foam.

Ryan's Death Knight cosplay was done for Katsucon this year which I touched upon in my write up of that con very briefly. Done alongside Jessica Nigri, the sheer amount of work that went into this was astonishing. I love the dark blue/black color scheme along with the occasional grey seen for the spikes. The shoulder pieces have got to be my favorite part as they just look massive. The white wig Ryan is sporting is a simple small cut yet perfect for the Death Knight characters you see in World of Warcraft!

One of Ryan's earlier cosplays was a gender-bend of Officer Vi from League of Legends. Here, a vest is shown as the main piece. Him dying his hair pink was a great choice since I'm unaware if there are short pink wigs (probably are XD). Of course though the stand out pieces are Vi's famous gauntlets. They have that steampunk/industrial look with the color scheme and added in rust details. I definitely admire the passion that Ryan has for each of his outfits since they always come out superb.

Lastly, his Armored Joker was a bit more simpler when you compare it to the other outfits I talked about. Though I love the colors of those armored pieces a lot more. The green and purple work so well together which makes me appreciate Joker's design more. The purple scarf is also a great touch and Ryan's makeup is spot on. The face he makes in the above photo is beyond perfect! Enjoy the other pictures I grabbed for you guys ^_^.
