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: Kitsune Kid's Tifa Lockhart!

Over the course of following Kitsune Kid's work, I've grown to love the amount of fun she has with it. Whether she's cosplaying alone or with her S/O. As I began looking into her cosplay work (I wanted to feature her again!), I started noticing a pattern and I have no doubt she knows it too. Many of the characters that Kitsune cosplays are females (or Rule 63's) that are more of a fighter. For example, she's done Rule 63's of DragonBall Z characters, Black Canary, Laura from Street Fighter V, even characters in a gym-like uniform such as Misty from Pokemon. This is a call back to Kitsune's love/enjoyment of being fit and healthy. So naturally, Tifa Lockheart was an obvious pick for her. If I remember correctly, Tifa was one of Kitsune's earlier cosplays but she recently brought it back out for new photos. They look pretty dang awesome which I'll show below!

With this being Tifa's default outfit, you've got the classic white tank top and suspenders attached to her pants. The pants themselves being more of a skirt. Dark red boots and black socks are pretty much the remaining parts for the lower areas. For the arms, Kitsune has a black sleeve that goes up slightly past her elbows. Red gloves are visible as are the small armor pieces. I'm betting the armor was done through either Worbla or foam. The weathering and coloring of them looks awesome and very authentic.

Kitsune has a beautiful black wig for her hair to match Tifa's iconic style. The poses done in the photos are standard for the character and I can really tell Kitsune had a blast wearing her. No doubt it's one of her more comfy cosplays! Some of the pics show Kitsune's cute smile too! I hope you guys enjoy the remaining shots I found! While I've only met Kitsune once, I got my fingers crossed that I'll run into her again one day! <3

As I mentioned above, Kitsune Kid recently finished both Laura's default look as well as an alt outfit from the recently released Street Fighter V! You definitely should check out her cosplays if you haven't yet! She also on occasion makes custom kigurumis to sell! Pretty cool right? Here's her FB Page!
