Bringing in the new year with some badass cosplays! You guys remember Ultra Girls Sophie and Cissa right? I got a pretty awesome cosplay pair of outfits they both did together a few months back! Both of them did armor versions of Pikachu and Raichu respectively as you can see from the picture above. These gijinkas came out so well and I loved how they both utilized EVA foam and Worbla for certain areas of the outfits. One such area are the bracers which have a similar pattern but differentiated from the colors of the Pokemon itself. Sophie being a bright Yellow with black accent marks, and Cissa being Orange instead. Certain parts of these cosplays stand out such as the make up that both the girls utilized. The eye liner effects look fantastic as do the red and yellow spots that they painted on their cheeks. It looks as if Sophie and Cissa used their natural hair but it wouldn't surprise me if those are actually wigs. Whatever the case, the hair looks so beautiful!
For the signature ears, both girls used different methods. Cissa looks to use hair clips attaching the short round ears whereas Sophie used a headband with the long ears attached to them. These look to also have been done with a sturdy material. Same with the breast plates and the tail ends. Oh! Can we talk about how freaking amazing those look? Both tails match their respective Pokemon and look to have been done with foam. The ends are attached to a long black pipe which I assume is connected to their back areas.
The pictures I have for you guys only show up to their waist so I can't really say what the remaining parts look like. My apologies on that :/. Getting back to the tails for a minute, Cissa's is more rounded and curved whereas Sophie's is straight and pointed. Like I mentioned above, it matches with the actual designs. The photos taken look beautiful. The nature setting is perfect, as if you're a wandering trainer not expecting to see a wild Pikachu and Raichu together! The little inserts of fur throughout the armor is an awesome touch as well. Both Sophie and Cissa worked so hard on these cosplays and the end result is magical! Hope you guys enjoy the pictures :D
