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: Shermie Cosplay's Elektra!


Again, Shermie Cosplay is one of those individuals where I just stumbled across their work and immediately fell in love. It helps that the cosplay I saw her in at this point is the one I wanted to share with you guys today. Here, Shermie is suited up as the deadly assassin Elektra from the Marvel side of comics. Straight off, we're looking at her classic get up, where red is the name of the game for colors. The top part looks to be a one piece suit with a cape extending down from behind her. It's tough to see in some of the shots but there are red straps wrapped around one of her legs. Shermie is also rocking red heel boots and does some crazy stances in them. Both arms have straps as well, with the major one covering from her wrist to almost the elbow. True to Elektra though, these have fabric draping down from the wrists.

The second strap that's placed higher up her arm also has the same fabric draping going on. Shermie is equipped with dual sais which are most likely are done in plastic in order to travel with them to cons. The iconic red hairband is wrapped around her forehead leaving room for the dark hair to come down on either side. One thing that stood out for me was just how freaking shiny all the red fabric was. Plus the photos look like they were added some intense filtered effects.

The cosplay itself is pretty simple in its design, I'm in love with how Shermie looks overall in it. She certainly is a spot on Elektra again with the posing. Hopefully you all will agree with me in the other photos I have to share! Check them out :D.
