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 Showcase: Element Cosplay's Makoto!



When Persona 5 released, it shocked the gaming world a whole lot with its likable cast of characters, stunning visuals, gripping story, and unforgettable music. For some like myself, it was the very first entry into the Persona franchise. For others like Element Cosplay, it means so much more. Especially when it comes to relating to one of the main playable characters. Enter Makoto Nijima for Val. The impact she left on Element was so huge, that she's now determined to cosplay the character a bunch in her numerous outfits. What I got today is Element rocking her casual/school uniform for Shujin Academy. The outfit consists of a long sleeved white shirt with suspenders that travel down to a plaid skirt.


The plaid skirt is done in black with many red/white stripes. Other than that, it's pretty much black leg stockings. As I mentioned at the start, Element did more than one outfit. The other is the Maid uniform which served as a free DLC costume pack for the playable characters. Centered around Maids/Butlers, Makoto's version is pretty standard when it comes to these uniforms.

White and red make up the whole color scheme with both colors sharing an equal amount of space. White for the sleeves, chest area and the apron along the lower area. Red is used to almost outline the rest of the cosplay all the way down to the bottom with frills in white. Both cosplays feature Makoto's signature hair braid along the top. Val does an incredible job posing and even has props such as the calling card and Persona 5's artbook (serving as a textbook I imagine). The makeup is also phenomenal too! I really hope you all enjoy the other shots I picked out :D.







I highly recommend Element Cosplay's FB page if you want to see more amazing cosplays this sweetie has made. Always love seeing her being passionate about the various franchises she loves!
