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: Dynamite Webber's Nightwing!

Can never go wrong with Nightwing cosplayers right? Today I have the incredibly awesome Dynamite Webber who definitely has a thing for the former Boy Wonder. Dynamite has done several versions of Nightwing but I thought why not take a look at the classic blue? Especially with the character's upcoming Rebirth series has him going back to the old suit. Dynamite's version is more armored up, with what looks like certain cues from the Injustice design. What looks to be a one/two piece black suit makes up the cosplay. On top of that is coverings of various armor pieces pretty much everywhere. Placed in such a way that it resembles body parts. One easy example is the layout of the abs right under-neath the emblem. Speaking of which, the emblem has the classic look of extending out towards his arms.

Actually, now that I look at it more, the under suit is actually a Nightwing suit since the difference in material can be seen. Though not so much in the photo on the right because that might be a different version altogether. My best guess would be that EVA Foam was used in the construction of these pieces. The blue coloring on the belt and chest looks strong here and is noticeable in the full black outfit. The escrima sricks that Dynamite is wielding have blue stripes around the top.

For the mask, it looks almost plastic and is definitely on the thick end of how it looks. There's also pouches seen on the belt/waist. The hair is also on point and a style that Dick Grayson would have. The photos I have for you guys are pretty amazing and I do hope you all enjoy them. The poses are on point as well and I think Dynamite has an awesome time being Nightwing each time he puts on the suit! :)
