Cosplay Feature: Holly Bean Cosplay's Sypha from Castlevania!

Photo by David Ngo By the time you're reading this, I will have just gotten back from my first convention of the year, PAX East! You can hear all about it in a brand new episode of CosplayBytes! For now, let's go back a little bit further to MAGFest from January for even more gaming related cosplays. Holly Bean Cosplay here brought along her cosplay of the devoted mage Sypha from the Castlevania anime adaptation aired on Netflix. By the time of this posting, the original has aired two seasons plus a spin off called Nocturne starring another Belmont Descendant. You'll notice that even if the cosplay is relatively simple in its design, I love both the pose work that Holly has done in addition to the edited photos that came out of this. Starting from the top, Holly is rocking a short orange wig with a variety of curls and wefts seen on her sides and from the back. Then you have the main top piece all in a light shade of blue and layered.

Cosplay Feature: Natalie Fuinha's Marceline!


Last week I showed off Natalie as one of the doggos of Team Borf Borf! Check that out here!

At the recommendation of League of Larcy, I decided to look up Natalie Fuinha's work after she looked so dang cute in the Rockruff dress group. Turns out she's got quite the bubbly collection of characters in her cosplay closet. One of which is Marceline the Vampire Queen from the cult show Adventure Time. I haven't watched the show in ages so I'm most definitely out of the loop when it comes to the plot and dozens of characters introduced. Marceline however is one of the earliest ones introduced and I'm more familiar with her. Natalie here has taken up her default look of denim pants, grey tank top and a buttoned down plaid shirt. She's also rocking comfy brown boots that I imagine are mostly worn during the fall season.

I don't know if Natalie really went and covered her exposed skin with a faint grey shade of body spray or if it was an added effect. Either way it helps her in really becoming the vampire. There's also the giant guitar/axe prop that looks like something straight out of Guitar Hero. Colored in 2 shades of red, the added chip effects on the blade parts look super awesome too! I'd be willing to bet that the prop is mostly done with a wood base. The strings are tied on and the black frets are drawn on the handle.

The prop also looks to be fairly light in size so Natalie can wield it like a legit weapon. The scenery just screams a cool fall morning/afternoon in the city area. The tree in the background just fits so well here and I love it a bunch :D. Overall the photos came out fantastic and Natalie looks like she had tons of fun in the shoot. Be sure to check out the other shots :D
