Cosplay Feature: Shir0gami's Meta Knight!

Photo by RandomBystanderHere As someone who both is a huge fan of Meta Knight as a character in addition to having cosplayed as him years ago, I am ALWAYS gonna shout about any other takes on the famed swordsman. Shir0gami is one such person and created an amazing gijinka of him for this past MAGFest (yep, still on that event!). It's funny how for Shiro, Kirby Air Ride was her first exposure to the character as noted in one of her pinned posts on Instagram. Starting off the cosplay, you have Meta Knight's imposing mask which is the form taken for this cosplay. Shiro has a face mask done perfectly for MK in both the design and grey coloring. The visor slit gives her the ability to see which hopefully she was while in movement. Man, it's hard for me to not compare it to mine years ago and how what I made is vastly inferior to this XD. After the visor, you then have the iconic cape which includes to high propped up collar. This portion has a white layer for the opposite side t...

STRUCK FIRST: Oh My Sophii as B.Va!

Struck First gives you a first look at a cosplay just as it's been debuted/had its first photoshoot. Cosplayers have been kind enough to let me have a first crack at analyzing the cosplay by providing me with brand new pictures.

I've been meaning to show off Sophii's B.Va as she had just unveiled it a month or so back for a convention. She herself was getting all hyped for the dye suit to come in and oh man the end result is truly something else. As a whole, the suit fits Sophii's figure so well and she takes the kawaii nature of D.Va to a whole new level. Just like the name implies, this skin for the mech user is black and yellow in color scheme. The upper part has a hexagonal pattern to symbolize honey combs. The remainder of the suit is just in a basic yellow shade. The leg areas have a distinct pattern with angles being formed with black and even hints of blue near her ankle/feet. The arm sleeves to the suit are all black with a yellow arm band shown too. What's interesting is the little accessories that Sophii added for the B.Va skin!

Starting near her waist are black pieces that look almost like armor that point at a downward angle. I don't know if these are legit armor pieces or sewn into the suit and have that inflatable look to them. Either way it looks pretty rad and is a sleek addition to the cosplay. There's also small black shoulder pieces with yellow circles up at the top. The wig looks to be black and is a very round like cut. A small hair bun can be seen up at the top with a yellow crown encircling it. There's also yellow headphones which is a staple part of D.Va's look just in a different color.

Some of the photos Sophii hooked me up with show off the cosplay in fantastic fashion. The forest setting just works for some reason. Plus you really get a good look at the whole cosplay. The weapon prop in some of the shots was commissioned if I remember correctly and the one close up shot is KILLER! I really hope you all enjoy the remaining pictures <3
