Shutting One Door, Keeping others Open

UPDATED ON 8/20/21: Facebook, Patreon and Blog IG pages have been shutdown/discontinued As the COVID pandemic rages on and cons are even shutting down into 2021, it got me thinking on a drive home one night about how I'd feel with even coming back to blogging. When cons eventually do come back at some point. Truth be told, many of the posts and content I shared here could be transferred over to more discussions via my podcast CosplayBytes. I've been blogging my love for games, cons and cosplay for 7 years now and maybe it's time to say goodbye for now? My podcast has gotten me some incredible opportunities as a member of Press for conventions, and the rapid love I've had for streaming is also taking up a lot of time now. On top of multiple personal things on my end, I don't think I have the energy to keep this up even post COVID you know? The very first cosplay centered post I wrote was on Jessica Nigri's Deadpool, and since then it's spawned over 800 posts

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!
