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: Midge Scully's Punk Jolteon

Stunned is probably the appropriate word I felt when I saw this cosplay online for the first time. Not only because it's the super gorgeous Midge Scully cosplaying as my favorite Eeveelution, but also from personal reasons as well. After opening up to her about something, Midge literally threw this cosplay together in hopes of cheering me up and making me smile. And holy butts did that work! Midge's Jolteon has a punk/rocker vibe and definitely has some elements of sexy to it thanks to the push up bra (as Midge states) among other parts like the posing and facial expressions. The Jolteon here consists of a white bra that rests on top of a corset. Unfortunately the photos I do have for you guys focus on the torso and up for this cosplay. The the photos here do a good job at showing off the chest area and the super rad jacket Midge is sporting!

The jacket is a high raised sleeveless jacket in yellow with some black accent stripes near the edge. There's also a pair of handcuffs attached to the bottom of the corset. Black fishnet leggings which look to be part of a garter set make up the leg area. I absolutely love the wig and Jolteon ears Midge is wearing here too! The ears are laced with some kind of metal lining around the edges. Plus the old fashioned aviator goggles are a solid touch too! A short and simple yellow skirt is seen which pops out as well. Lastly, a choker can be seen around Midge's neck.

I can clearly tell that Midge had a wonderful time wearing this cosplay at Katsucon and for myself, I'm sad I wasn't able to see it there, let alone Midge in general :/. In some of the shots she took herself, Midge has the best smile and really looks like she's rocking out here! Hope you guys enjoy the other shots! It's a short and simple cosplay, yet effective at what she was going for!

Midge Scully is one of the most loving and thoughtful friends I've made in cosplay. Pretty much whatever she makes brings her personality to life meshed with that of the character. I highly suggest you guys check her work out if you haven't yet!
