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: Aerilaya Cosplay's Serperior!

Coming off of a feature on Jaycee Cosplay, I thought it'd be cool to feature her partner in crime when it comes to creating cosplays. Not to mention her waifu too of course! Aerilaya Cosplay has been making outfits for quite some time and will assist in making some of Jaycee's stuff which I've featured on here for sure. For today though, I wanted to look at one of Aerilaya's outfits made for Katsucon. Specifically done alongside Jaycee as part of their Pokemon gijinka group. Based around the starters, she chose Serperior and it looks absolutely beautiful! The cosplay consists of a top portion being extended by a long skirt. Color wise, the outfit has various shades of green and white with touches of yellow. Aerilaya's arms and legs are covered by long green sleeves, and the top portion has a yellow trim going around the bodysuit edges. On the skirt, is a pattern stitched in with a yellow fabric. Her waist area is tied together through a single leaf attached on the center.

Prop wise, Aerilaya is wielding a staff that looks to have been made with wood with decorations wrapped around it. The top is seen with white petals surrounding the center which has leaves blooming outward. The leaves themselves also have some sort of yellow decoration. Aerilaya also went no expense in having some pretty stellar makeup to really capture Serperior's appearance. The final evolution itself has a sort of majestic/regal look and she really embodies that here. Not to mention the photos themselves are absolutely beautiful.

Pose wise, Aerilaya wields the staff in a variety of poses. What I find interesting (and maybe it's just me that sees it) but some of her facial expressions have this smug look which is hilarious because that's how the previous evolutions of the grass starter were portrayed as. Hell, Snivy got the nickname Smugleaf because of that so I wonder if that's what Aerilaya was going for. Other cool additions in the cosplay vary from the green lipstick, yellow piece coming out from the back of her head, and the yellow flower too. Overall I absolutely love this cosplay and I hope you guys enjoy the other photos I picked out!

I highly recommend you guys check out Aerilaya Cosplay's stuff on her FB Page. While she doesn't attend as many conventions anymore, her work is always a treat to see. You also get a pretty good look at what her friendship with Jaycee Cosplay is like. I pretty much ship them <3.
