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: Jenna Lynn Meowri and her MAGFest Lineup!

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.

It's no secret that I have incredibly strong feelings for super sweetheart Jenna Lynn Meowri as of late. Or pretty much the moment I started following her work, yea let's go with that! At this past MAGFest, Jenna went and debuted some brand new cosplays that I just had to share for you all. So there's a double feature for today! For the video game centered convention, Jenna wore her Jessie (Pokemon) and Vault Dweller (Fallout 4) cosplays. Both of which were absolutely fantastic and I just couldn't choose one hence the double dose for today! Starting with her Jessie from Team Rocket, Jenna is rocking the famous outfit that the character has had since literally Day 1 of the anime airing. Latex is the main material makeup for most of the cosplay!

Specifically, the cosplay has a white crop top that's on top of a black under-piece. The white top is adorned with the R symbol from Team Rocket. Also, the top has an insert down at the bottom. A small white skirt makes up the bottom portion. There's also long black gloves/sleeves part of the cosplay as well. The wig is of an insanely deep shade of red and long in length. While it doesn't fully match Jessie's true hairdo, honestly it works. Plus the original hairstyle is nuts in nature XD.

Jenna mentions in the shots that she's wearing some kind of mesh suit because of how cold it was during the con. Basically that's why you see no belly button! I'm simply in awe of how beautiful Jenna looks in this, she works it in every shot! Course I'm not stopping with Jessie, there's also her Vault Dweller! Much like Byndo Gehk's I shared last week,  Jenna's version is done in the same style. A full blue suit with golden stripes throughout. Jenna however adds some slight sex appeal with the slightly opened jacket in some pics.


Plus the suit fits nicely around Jenna's figure. Many more materials and weapons can be seen in Jenna's Vault Dweller cosplay. These include various pouches, a small blaster, and straps with armor pieces on top. A short black wig is perfect for the cosplay! PLUS, Jenna goes above and beyond with adding weathering details to not just the cosplay itself but her face in terms of makeup. A pip-boy is seen on one of her arms much like Byndo's. I really loved all the extra details Jenna added in, and have a feeling she enjoyed wearing this a lot! Unlike Jessie, I imagine this cosplay kept Jenna warmer hahaha. I totally would want Jenna on my side if I was in the Fallout world!
