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: Anya Braddock Cosplay's Savage Land Rogue!


The posts for this week are focused on some incredibly lovely ladies that I roomed with at Katsucon last month! Kicking it off with the intoxicating Anya Braddock Cosplay as Savage Land Rogue from X-Men! Anya was an incredible person to meet, I can't thank her enough for making me feel loved and included! Asking how each day of my con went and all that. Going through her photos, I was immediately entranced by her Rogue (yeaaaa it was the booty oops, DON'T GET MAD). Based on the description for some of the photos, it looks like the Savage Land version was debuted at ColossalCon last year. Pretty fitting character for the bikini convention considering on how the outfit itself is designed. Matching up with Rogue's color scheme, this variant is all yellow and green, even the staff is coordinated! The top part is tattered up with a green piece then over-layed with yellow. This part has the X-Men symbol placed on the left side.

Her bottom area is complete with a yellow bikni piece covered up by green fabric that's set up to act like a drape. There's also feathers attached to her waist sides to most likely help hold it up. A thin yellow strap can be seen attached to one of her legs and a green bandanna is done up around Anya's head. The staff prop is all yellow in color, with fabric pieces wrapped around it in various spots. Up near the top you can see feathers similar to what's holding up her green drapes. Getting back to the wig, it's got that Rogue style of deep brown all around except the middle where it's tinted straight white.

Photographer PhotosNXS did a phenomenal job with these shots and it certainly helped in having a beautiful scenery. I feel ColossalCon in some ways is similar to Katsucon, with their sceneries being a key selling point. The lush green trees and rocks make for a perfect device for Savage Land Rogue to go traversing through. Not to mention the sunlight hits just right (where's that Pacha meme when ya need it) on both Anya and the background. Booty shots are aplenty so enjoy the photos you guys <3.
