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!

STRUCK FIRST: Byndo Gehk as Morgana!


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.

Of course I want to show off more Persona 5 cosplays without overly focusing on Panther since she's my waifu. Having shared Byndo Gehk not too long ago, I had to space it out so that it wasn't an immediate back to back kind of thing. Byndo went and cosplayed as everyone's favorite cat Morgana in a pretty fabulous way. The cosplay itself is just full on black with exceptions to her hands and feet being white but I'll get to that later on. A skin tight latex suit covers her from the chest downwards that truthfully is very flattering for Byndo, at least in my opinion. Though having it be just that would have been a bit too simple. She went ahead and added in a black corset that begins just below her chest. In addition to this, she also has a black belt at the bottom with gold circles and pockets on the side.

Byndo looks to have gloves on which have a tiny bit of black at the bottom. This then transitions into full on white which resemble Morgana's paws. The same can be said for her boots which are done in a similar manner. Also hanging off the belt is the cutest little tail since you know, Morgana's a legit cat XD. You can't forget about the bright yellow ascot that's wrapped around her neck too! Byndo then made the mask by altering one she found at a store. I gotta tell you guys, the second I saw the original mask I lost it thinking she was making Panther. Morgana being the end result caught me off guard for sure.

Lastly, Byndo has a long black wig with its bangs on the front being especially long. Some of the photos include tongue action as well as Byndo's super cute smile which shows off the added fangs too! I'm just ever so happy to have more Persona 5 cosplays to share with you guys. The photos showing off the graffiti walls in the background fits Morgana perfectly. I do hope you all enjoy the pics I have <3.
