Cosplay Feature: Gray Oranges' Rikku!

Photo by David Ngo I won't ever shy away from writing about cosplays of Rikku's look from Final Fantasy X-2 and Gray Orange did a fantastic job portraying her in both the overall cosplay look PLUS the pose work. Of course I'll get to all that in due time but let's start at the top! It's certainly a cosplay worn for several events and I want to say I first saw this in the overall collection of MAGFest photos back in January of this year. I really love how the multiple braid strands are integrated into the blonde wig for starters. I can't tell if they're either part of the wig itself or the blue headband that's wrapped around. In any case, following this is a red scarf wrapped around Irini's neck before you then get to the yellow bikini top. Here, you can also see orange trim lines as part of the piece. Oh, I forgot to mention that the red scarf actually travels all the way down to her legs. These end points then transition to a yellow/orange gradient!

Cosplay Feature: Missyeru's Berserker Paine!


Awhile back, I did a feature on Vanity Fox's Berserker Yuna from Final Fantasy X-2! Today, I wanted to feature the superbly talented Missyeru in a very similar outfit. Same dressphere but different character to be more exact! One of Michelle's first cosplays was Paine in the Berserker uniform. Comparing it to Yuna's version, Paine's consists of a one piece suit in a blue shade. Various red patterns cover it from her stomach towards her legs. Two sashes are wrapped around her waist and are similar in color to the whole suit. In addition, Michelle has claws and feet made up of leopard print. The ones around her hands travel up her arm, that is of course until you get to the shoulder pieces! These consist of a black part with yellow circles on the front and down near its edge. Several spikes are seen popping outward as well!

Near the bottom of the shoulder sections, is a small strip of leopard print. Most likely attached on the inside of the armor. My best guess is that foam was used in making them. The head piece is almost like a crown that definitely looks snug on Michelle's head. It consists of a black band wrapped around circular areas, these have horns coming out. Two on each end as a matter of fact, and they're also colored grey. Blue felt/fur is seen at the top of Paine's outfit along with leopard print covering her neck.

The pictures were shot in a very foresty area to give off a primal feel. Considering the Berserker is all about attacking and animal instincts, it's pretty much perfect! For being one of Missyeru's first cosplays, I have to say she did an absolutely incredible job. The wig and her make up is so spot on, that I feel here she truly looks like Paine! I hope you guys enjoy the other pictures I have to share! :D
