Cosplay Feature: Kay Bear Cosplay's Rouge the Bat!

There's just something about Kay Bear Cosplay where she just emanates so much beauty in any sort of shoot she participates in. Cosplay, lingerie, you name it and Kay just looks stunning! Today, I wanted to share her Rouge the Bat cosplay from the Sonic franchise. As the infamous thief, Kay brings a playful side to the character mostly with the poses and facial expressions she makes in the pictures I found online. Plus, the cosplay overall looks simple and comfy so I imagine this wasn't a huge issue wearing for long periods of time. For starters, I LOVE the wig Kay has up at the top. It's a cute style going down to her shoulders and has a lot of waves added on to it. The ears being added up at the top is such a perfect addition to it too! The name of the game color wise is a whole lot of pink and white which you'll see in both the arm sleeves & boots but I'll get to those in a bit!

Cosplayer Interview: Pixelpantz Cosplay!

If you guys paying attention in the cosplay world may remember, there was this really gorgeous cosplayer by the name of Pixelpantz Cosplay who grew in some popularity thanks to her Ashes of Al'Ar gijinka. So much so that I featured it last year which you can read right here! I had the opportunity to interview her earlier this week and it was totally a delight. Especially after the slight struggle in trying to schedule it but Pixel was beyond sweet about wanting to do this with me. Pixelpantz is based out in the Midwest and has grown considerably since she started cosplaying several years ago. Most of her cosplays stem from the gaming world with other medias thrown in here and there. During our chat, Pixel relayed how she's pretty much a gamer at heart since her older brother got her into it at a young age. Whereas he grew out of the geek phase, Pixel never looked back.

While she enjoys comics and anime, gaming is the one constant that can pull her away even when she's neck deep in making cosplays. Blizzard specifically has a special place in her heart if you looked at which characters were created. There's the epic mount gijinka mentioned above, a Crusader from Diablo and D.Va from Overwatch! Pixel mentions her time playing WoW and Diablo (in the Crusader class no less!) and shudders at possibly going back to the former cause she knows she'll get sucked back in. She goes into detail about the Crusader's progress and how she added elements of her own creative brain to the base design. Along with insight as to how she approached Zach Fischer with the Ashes of Al'Ar design (and how much she hated some of the progress XD)!

We also go into some detail regarding Patreon and the nature that some people have towards the platform. Having iffy thoughts at first, Pixel now is excited having recently launched hers with a plethora of ideas and plans in the works. Plus there may be an exclusive look for you guys later on in terms of future cosplays! Convention insight is also given with a look at her favorite cons and the unfortunate history with sickness and Katsucon ;-;. It meant the world to me that afterwards Pixelpantz enjoyed doing this with me so I hope you all can feel the same way!
