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: ItsYoru's Cosvacado's Nyx!

At Katsucon this year and throughout the rest of 2017 I've managed to bond and form pretty solid friendships with my roomies. Each of them equally talented cosplayers as they are sweet human beings. One of them is my buddy Chris who goes by his recently created page name of ItsYoru's Cosvacado! Like me, he was also incredibly excited for FFXV's upcoming release. Besides the game's cast of characters, he fell in love with another protagonist from the spin off movie Kingsglaive. The main hero for that movie--Nyx--is a member of the Glaive which is tasked by King Regis as the most elite soldiers of Insomnia. What makes them special is that they're able to borrow the ridiculous power that the King has which is mainly used by Noctis in the main game. Ok we good on the backstory? Each member of the Kingsglaive dons a pretty extravagant suit with multiple lines traveling down the chest. The collar is also popped up for them.

The long coat has other additions like small shoulder patches with one of them having chains hanging down from it. Chris also has armguards directly seen after the black fingerless gloves. What's iconic about Nyx's design is his mohawk styled hair and the weapon of choice. Going into battle with a single dagger might not seem like a good choice but Nyx makes damn good usage thanks to the additional power of kings. Chris went as far as to have his hair styled/cut to match Nyx.

Chris didn't go about creating this cosplay alone. Helping him was his immensely talented lady Princess Gigglesnort (who's also just as sweet!) mostly in the sewing department. The photos make him look absolutely incredible. Such as the sunset on the photo to the left of here, to the one down below that might be seen as a spoiler to those who haven't seen the movie yet. In any case, Chris pulls off Nyx superbly well. Check out the other photos below!
