Cosplay Feature: Jutsu Cosplay's Mechanic D.Va



It seems that the cosplay world will always have a huge area solely for Overwatch cosplays. Whether it's the character's default, a skin or a completely different take, people flock to the game for a huge amount and variety. For today's post, I'm heading towards the original take (as far as I know) for a very popular character. Aussie Jutsu Cosplay (who you may know for her incredibly on point Laura from Street Fighter V) took everyone's favorite mech driving girl and gave her a more casual look. D.Va piloting her mech and all, it'd make sense for only her to do repairs on it if needed. I imagine that played some part in Jutsu coming up with the idea of Mechanic D.Va. The concept is pretty much what you'd expect. D.Va stripped down to the bottom half of her jumpsuit with a sports bra and rag tied around her waist. There's also of course the bright yellow gloves and added in wrench. Jutsu is also known for her martial art skills and in general working out so her physique is toned so dang well.

Aside from the half jumpsuit, she also went all out with the make up and facial features. Pink lines on her face, a long brown wig (unless that's her natural hair) and the headphones hanging down her neck. She also did a pretty fantastic job posing even with some photos being a bit more cheeky than others (I think you guys can find the one), really capturing the nature of being a....well a mechanic duh! One such pic is edited in a way that adds in D.Va's massive mech she does battle in!

I also love the editing in the background. Very faint hues of pink and blue can be seen which is an obvious callback to D.Va's default color scheme of cotton candy spunk! The suit seen on Jutsu's bottom half was most likely printed out as is traditional to majority of D.Va cosplays I've seen. Though some do go all out and make it themselves! Jutsu Cosplay did a fabulous job on this and I hope you all can agree!
