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: SutefaniiRoozu's Dry Bones!

Photo by Vthreepio
I'm happy to have for you guys super cutie SutefaniiRoozu for today's Feature. She's one of a few recent friends I've made in the cosplay world after I experienced a huge outpouring of love a couple weeks back. So I knew for sure that I wanted to share some of her work for you guys. Her Dry Bones was one cosplay that hooked me since that's one Mario character you practically see no cosplay of. As simple as the cosplay looks, I think she nailed the aspects of the classic enemy. Plus the head piece kinda gives away who she is. So that's a plus for those worrying they can't point it out! The cosplay consists of a tan colored leotard with black stripes wrapped around her torso/stomach area. Black shoes round out the bottom with incredibly high black socks covering her legs. Light blue gloves can be seen which most likely resemble the gloves Dry Bones wear. The main parts of this cosplay though have to be the shell and head piece as I mentioned above!

Starting off, the shell is more so on the small end and attached on Stephanie's back. Almost as if she were wearing it like a backpack. The coloring and lines on it are very well defined. Material wise it actually looks like cardboard or a very thin layer of foam. The headpiece is quite tall and brilliantly shaped so that it's able to rest on top of her head. Combined with the long gray/white, it works beautifully with the outfit.

The headpiece features the Dry Bones' signature eyes and nose. Texture wise it looks like to be much harder than the shell. I have to wonder if some kind of sculpting was used or plaster. I can't get over how cute Steph looks in this cosplay and totally look forward to meeting her at PAX East in a few months! The photos are very simplistic and the setting works for Dry Bones. Hopefully you guys will feel the same way! Enjoy the pictures :).
