Cosplay Feature: Jess Blaze Cosplay's Lenne!

Shot by Savanyahs Who the HECK is Lenne?!? I always love seeing Jess Blaze Cosplay continue the Final Fantasy rabbit hole she's in with all the cosplays she's done from the franchise. Tackling the mysterious singer from X-2 alongside her friend Kam C Cosplay (as Yuna) felt like a natural next cosplay for her to create. This also wasn't Jess' first foray into the many dress-spheres that the sequel focused on. For the originator of the Songstress job class, there's a whole lot of blue here which you see immediately with the main top piece and arm sleeves. Starting from there, you have essentially a blue vest that has lighter blue frills along the edges. The dress also has differing lengths for each side. One giving off a midriff look whereas the other extends longer past the black skirt.

Cosplay Feature: Gladzy Kei's Alpha Toothless Gijinka!

For today, there's a totally awesome Canadian cosplayer that I needed to share with you all today. I've referenced Gladzy Kei before on here with Jessica Nigri's Battle Armor Elsa and Armored Sailor Mars. That's because she's the one who designed the characters! Drawing seems to be one of Gladzy's strong suits because she also creates her own versions of cosplays she then creates. Such is the case for the outfit you see above! Here, Gladzy is armored up in a gijinka of Alpha Toothless from the movie series of How to Train Your Dragon! I really love her creativity here, the outfit is set up so you have the breastplate and small shoulder pauldrons which connect to the straps holding the chest piece up! Nothing too crazy going on in the bottom area (of course when you get to the legs/feet that is) with a fur belt buckle that has separate straps traveling down!

Gladzy's arms consist of dragon gloves she made for herself. They resemble Toothless' own paws adding in fur and leather straps which help secure the plating she has on them. Her boots are a similar but different story. Giant dragon feet with chains and armor covering the top of them. I get a Skyrim vibe from this outfit as a whole. The layout of the pieces along with the use of materials she used, it's just absolutely incredible. The helmet is also something special, with dragon wings on the side to resemble ears and a center-piece that has horns above in the center. There's also dragon scales poking out at the top that are GLOWING :D.

Not just here, but other areas also incorporate the use of LED lights. This is such an intricate cosplay and I'm just blown away by Gladzy's craftsmanship. The contacts she's wearing also give off that devious nature Toothless shows in the movie, being all bright green and whatnot ^^. She definitely looks both elegant yet fierce in the poses she makes. The photos overall came out so beautifully well shot. Having the LED's highlighted in most of the shots was a great direction taken! Have a look at some of the other pictures I picked out! :)

I highly recommend you all check out Gladzy Kei's work on her page! She recently designed another cosplay for Jess which she wore at this past Amazing Hawaii Comic Con and it LOOKED AMAZING! Plus her other armor cosplays are just so badass! <3
