Cosplay Feature: Shiro Cos as Melinoe!

So I knew I was gonna get insanely addicted to Hades 2 but I wasn't expecting to essentially clear it all out a little over a month after it released. Having done so much in the first game it didn't take long for me to get back into the rouge-lite groove and do run after run to progress its story. So naturally that led to me wanting to find cosplayers that portrayed the main antagonist Melinoe. Shiro Cos was someone I came across early on as I was searching throughout Instagram with the game's hashtag attached and man does this look freaking awesome. To kick things off, the 3D files for some of the pieces like her weaponry in ADDITION to the killer shoot location were provided by cosplay collective  The Dangerous Ladies ! Shiro has a short bob cut blonde wig with a small leaf crown placed on top. That crown also has a silver moon symbol placed directly in the middle of it. This to help signify Melinoe's placement as one of the Silver Sisters. You'll notice that the ...

Cosplay Showcase: Ani-Mia's Poison Ivy!

I'm kicking off my Features/Showcases of Katsucon cosplays with Ani-Mia's beautiful Poison Ivy design! When progress pictures were popping up as this was being formed, I was immediately interested in what the end result would be like. Plus, I'm a sucker for most of Batman's female characters. Poison Ivy is one character who's seductive allure/nature can really be a selling point for cosplayers who make any of her outfits. For this past Katsucon, Mia created a truly extravagant look for the plant obsessed doctor. A corset makes up the base of the outfit with minimal covering on her lower front side. The corset and waist belt are beautiful shades of green but the gown is where it starts to get crazy. The front may be exposed but it's more so that Mia's backside is covered by the gown itself. Leaves and flowers decorate the corset on the front and sides.

One of the major parts to Mia's cosplay has to be the giant frame coming out from the back and towering over her head. This wall of flowers is set up on a wire base that's most likely attached to the corset or some part of her waist. The frame is absolutely covered in flowers and leaves and compliments the cosplay beautifully. Mia's wig is another favorite part of mine. Gorgeously long and a deep shade of red. It's sexy in some ways which I feel is fitting for the character. The green makeup/eye shadow is also a nice touch/addition.

The upper parts of the corset are lined with a flower pattern and white beads. I was surprised at some of the poses that Mia looks to be comfortable (though I could be dead wrong) in the cosplay. I for one didn't expect the laying down pose. The photos do an excellent job showing off the details in both the cosplay and her makeup. Mia's facial expressions are absolutely beautiful as well. Serene is an accurate description for her Poison Ivy! The onslaught of flowers and everything else in this cosplay work so well. I hope you guys enjoy the other photos I picked out!
