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 Showcase: Megawatt Cosplay's Steampunk Dorothy!

Photo by Maze Studios
As I mentioned in my NYCC Report a few weeks ago, one cosplayer I was beyond thrilled to finally meet was Megawatt Cosplay. This was coming off of having grown close to her over the past year shortly after NYCC 2015 ended. For this year, Megawatt wore Katniss Everdeen on Friday and Steampunk Dorothy on Saturday. It's apparent though as to which cosplay I'm gonna focus on for today right? There's an inherent cuteness and slight sex appeal look for Megan's Dorothy. Given the Steampunk nature in general, old fashioned Victorian pieces are seen on the cosplay. This varies from the brown corset covering her torso, to the brown gloves covering most of her arms. Dorothy's signature blue patterned clothes can be seen in the low cut bra piece and the skirt coming in from below the corset. Right above the gloves are white ruffle cuffs that are positioned on her upper forearm.

Course, Megan wasn't the only person a part of this cosplay. Her husband to be, who I also met at the con, wore a Steampunk version of the all powerful Wizard himself that you see at the end of the movie. I've included several pictures of the 2 of them since primarily I'm focusing on Megawatt! Other notable parts of her cosplay include an adorable brown wig with pigtails and full on white stockings covering her legs. It wouldn't be a full Dorothy cosplay without Ruby Red shoes! I should have a picture picked out that shows them in a full body view!

Prop wise, Megan was seen carrying a basket with her own Toto as well as a mini model of a classic (I mean really classic) wooden airplane. The corset is of a light shade of brown with sections in a darker color along with gold colored studs. A strap is also wrapped around the center. I at first thought that she re-used her corset from Steampunk Jasmine but both those cosplays have a different style though they do look very similar. I fully admit that this was probably the outfit I was looking forward to seeing the most. Mostly on the reason of the huge cosplay crush I have on Megawatt and just overall she looks incredibly beautiful in the outfit. I hope you guys enjoy the plethora of pictures I found of this cosplay!
