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: Rachel Nycole's Raven!

Photo by David Ngo

When cosplayer Rachel Nycole was working on Raven from Teen Titans for Anime Revolution, of course I got excited. I pretty much have typed that exact same sentence with many cosplayers who do DC related cosplays XD. In any case, Rachel's Raven is superbly purple which drew me first in the photos that followed the convention. Here you have her standard uniform seen in both the comics and hit cartoon. The black one piece suit includes long sleeves with a purple cuff for each wrist. There's also the royal purple shade with her cape that encircles pretty much the whole of the outfit. Held together by Raven's infamous brooch, it looks truly extravagant when it's flowing in action. Speaking of which, the brooch looks to have been done in resin or through a much easier effort.

The brooch is replicated alongside Rachel's belt which is positioned loosely around her waist. Her wig is of a much darker shade of purple and matches perfectly with Raven's hair style. She also has with her a lone gem placed on her forehead too! This looks to be one done in plastic and has some adhesive attached on the back in order for it to stay in place. Rachel appears to have also used some body paint to darken her skin in some areas to match Raven's skin. Either that or it was done in post editing. Either way, some of the shots like the one on the left look insanely epic.

Rachel always does such a stellar job with her cosplays and being as big of a fan I am, she never disappoints. The other photos show off her figure as a whole very well and Rachel does a fantastic job in the posing department. Check out the other photos to see what I mean!
