Cosplay Feature: Lisa Mancini's Magik!

The Marvel Rivals cosplays keep on coming with various iterations of Magik done by cosplayer Lisa Mancini. Specifically, I have three versions that she's done over the last year or two since the cosplay was made & debuted. I myself am not too well-versed to the character so I'm mostly gonna be focusing on the outfit structure and how it's formed around Lisa. For starters, Magik's base costume starts off with a long platinum blonde wig with some wings added on top. Most likely this is done via a headband piece added in. Her main chest piece looks to be a tank top base in black with an armor chest piece layered on top. It does go all the way up to Lisa's neck so I have to wonder if she had any trouble moving her head around while wearing this. Magik has a mixture of long and short sleeved coverings for her arms. There's also different pauldrons on the shoulders. One of which is smoothed out with what I believe is the X-Men symbol on one and the other is covere...

Cosplay Feature: Blood Empress' Tifa Lockhart!

Duhhh of course I'd be talking about Blood Empress' gorgeous Tifa Lockhart cosplay when she started posting pictures in it. Tifa being my all time favorite game girl crush, I'm a sucker for anyone who cosplays her. Also pretty sure I've stated this reasoning time and time again as I featured Tifa cosplayers in the past. Here, Christy chose to go with the character's default outfit, the black skirt along with the white top and suspenders. Some of the shots give a really solid vide of the Docker boots she's wearing. The black belt is loosely wrapped around the skirt up near her waist and suspenders travel down to be attached to it. Christy opted in going with a full covered white shirt instead of the traditional white tank that Tifa is known for wearing.

Oddly enough, the most detailing/parts go to her arms. Christy has long black sleeves covering just about up to her forearm. The red gloves are more so done with fabric instead of actual gloves that I've seen with past cosplays of Tifa. One arm is shown with the gray armor piece attached to some red fabric and the other has a white band wrapped near the end. I find this route makes her Tifa more than ready to get down and dirty in terms of fighting, much more movement when the hands aren't held back/covered up heavily.

The close up shot on the left gives a great view of the wig Christy has for this cosplay. Gray dots decorate the gloves up near her knuckles. Overall she nails the posing of warm up shots as she's getting ready to beat down Shinra soldiers. Her figure fits the character well also and this just gives me another reason as to why I want to meet her so bad <3. Enjoy the shots guys!
