Cosplay Feature: Lisa Mancini's Magik!

The Marvel Rivals cosplays keep on coming with various iterations of Magik done by cosplayer Lisa Mancini. Specifically, I have three versions that she's done over the last year or two since the cosplay was made & debuted. I myself am not too well-versed to the character so I'm mostly gonna be focusing on the outfit structure and how it's formed around Lisa. For starters, Magik's base costume starts off with a long platinum blonde wig with some wings added on top. Most likely this is done via a headband piece added in. Her main chest piece looks to be a tank top base in black with an armor chest piece layered on top. It does go all the way up to Lisa's neck so I have to wonder if she had any trouble moving her head around while wearing this. Magik has a mixture of long and short sleeved coverings for her arms. There's also different pauldrons on the shoulders. One of which is smoothed out with what I believe is the X-Men symbol on one and the other is covere...

Cosplay Feature: MegaWatt Cosplay's Steampunk Jasmine!

While I was at NYCC last year, I recall seeing an absolutely beautiful Jasmine cosplayer when I was hanging around at Ireland Reid's booth and chatting with her. It wasn't until last month that I finally checked out her work and as expected, I was blown away. Guys, meet MegaWatt Cosplay and I thought for today, I'd take an even closer look at her Jasmine cosplay. This was actually done in the popular style of Steampunk! As far as designs go, I know that Megan worked with another cosplayer who lived close by in both coming up with the design and creating it. The cosplay has the standard/classic color scheme that Jasmine is known for. Blue with areas of gold on the bra and skirt. The steampunk elements come in the form of the top coming down from her neck and the corset. Speaking of which, the corset adds in a beautiful figure for Megan which is one of my favorite parts of the cosplay.

Much like Lisa's Jasmine which I featured late last year, the bra is also another favorite part. The style/frills on the golden trimming is absolutely beautiful. Going towards Megan's twaist is a dark brown belt with a spiral design for the belt buckle. The bottom area consist of blue shorts and a skirt that wraps around her sides This also travels down her back side. The corset and top section are of a lighter shade of brown and have buckles throughout to fasten it together. They're crafted extremely well! Megan also nailed Jasmine's iconic hair style with the wig selection. A small tiara is placed around her head with a blue gem in the dead center.

To really complete the cosplay, Megan is seen holding a small decorative tiger. This is a direct reference to Jasmine's loyal pet Tiger Ra'jah of course! The pictures I have for you guys really capture how beautiful Megan looks in the whole cosplay. I'm really glad I decided to follow her work, chatting with her is a blast and I know we'll meet sometime at a convention this year. Enjoy the pics guys!
