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.

Cosplay Feature: Harajuku Bunny's Psylocke!


Cosplayers that share their progress with everyone is always a delight to see. Even if most of the time, difficulties were encountered along the way. Such is the case with my friend Harajuku Bunny and her Psylocke cosplay. Specifically, this version of the mutant is based around the Kotobukiya statue treatment she got. For Kelsey, most of the difficulty was found within the purple/blue suit. The cosplay consists of a single leotard piece and coverings for her arms and feet. The feet specifically are just boots, and straps are seen on all parts throughout the cosplay. Kelsey also has a red sash wrapped around her waist with the infamous "X" icon in the middle. I also really love how the wig looks on her, the shade of purple is just beautiful and compliments the rest of the outfit.

The material of the cosplay looks to be of some kind of stretch vinyl/spandex. Kelsey was super passionate about the project in wanting to really capture Psylocke's persona. So despite the struggles in sewing, I absolutely love how this came out. Some of the shots show her wielding a katana which is the character's signature weapon. Some effects to portray the psychic portion are shown in some of the picture. Not to mention Kelsey does an excellent job posing.

Showing off the character's strength, seductive side as well which seems fitting for the femme fatale character. With the recent new X-Men movie, I can only see Psylocke gain popularity with cosplayers. The other photos I have for you guys to share are pretty awesome and I hope you enjoy them!
