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 Showcase: Kaybear Cosplay's Mad Moxxi!

I've been meaning to show this lovely cosplayer once I started following her work! Kaybear Cosplay absolutely puts in so much effort to her outfits and they always turn out to be so gorgeous in the end. For today, I thought why not show off one of her more well known cosplays, Mad Moxxi! For the famous bartender, Kay captured her sassy attitude and nailed the outfit as a whole. Cel shading is present throughout the whole outfit and I really love the main jacket here. She also captured the crazy styles that you can see with the legs. One covered up, and another in torn fishnets. The boots are very high in height and also have bloodstains (effect-wise) down near the bottom. Probably from all the excitement she gets watching people get torn to shreds in her Underdome. Kay even brought along a prop which I'll get too later on here.

Kay's shoulder pieces are decorated with the signature blue swirls. They're also seen on both of her sleeves. The cel shaded make up on both the chest and face is incredibly accurate too! Leather gloves and mis-colored buttons also cover the cosplay. The black makeup drip effect is just so dang cool especially in the close ups. The hat is on the small side when I think of other Mad Moxxi cosplays I've shown here but it's all about preference and what works for the cosplayer right? Oh and can we talk about how beautiful the wig looks? A deep shade of brown really makes the white make up pop in the pictures.

The photos themselves look pretty dang sweet. Kay teamed up with some of the more well known photographers in the community to take some gorgeous shots. Even some on the sexy side which I've got one of to share with you all. In most of the photos, Kay's seen holding a tip jar which was that prop I mentioned up above. That's seen in Moxxi's bar should the player decide to tip her...though I did it because I was immensely attracted to her. As I assume most players were, I mean hey, it got you some pretty cool guns! Check out the other photos!

I highly recommend you guys check out Kaybear Cosplay's FB page. She wore her Female Khal Drogo as well as debut her new Rengar at Katsucon last month and they both looked AMAZING! You definitely don't want to miss out on her talent and skills!
