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 Showcase: Arlena Fae's Boudoir Raven!



On recommendation from a friend, I decided to check out this super cute and creative cosplayer for today! Arlena Fae has some pretty solid cosplays under her belt but what sold me were the cosplay showcase videos she does of her own outfits. Which is why later in this post I included a video of one she did for her C'Thun cosplay from Hearthstone! Though to pick an outfit to write about was a little more difficult. Eventually I wanted to do it on this Boudoir take she did on Raven from Teen Titans. Compared to some other versions I've seen, Arlena went the extra mile and captured the character wonderfully. Obviously purple and black are the main color schemes to this cute outfit. Arlena has Raven's signature hood/cape wrapped around her neck with the red brooch holding it all together.

Her top consists of a purple bra with a flimsier black placed on top of it. The black extends further down to a very lacey design. Arlena's wig is especially deep in its purple shade and it almost looks like her revealed skin was tinted a dark shade to match Raven's skin too! For the bottom area, Arlena has see through purple shorts on with black showing underneath. High black stockings round out the rest of this boudoir outfit. She also can be seen reading a book in one of the shots I have for you. Also wrapped around where the purple shorts are, is a belt of brooches connected via a gold chain. These look to have been done with plastic or possibly foam/worbla.

Arlena did a fantastic job on the posing and every photo is just beautiful to look at. Hopefully you all will agree <3. As I mentioned above, the video of her C'Thun can be seen down below! Enjoy guys :D.
