Cosplay Feature: Lisa Mancini's Magik!

The Marvel Rivals cosplays keep on coming with various iterations of Magik done by cosplayer Lisa Mancini. Specifically, I have three versions that she's done over the last year or two since the cosplay was made & debuted. I myself am not too well-versed to the character so I'm mostly gonna be focusing on the outfit structure and how it's formed around Lisa. For starters, Magik's base costume starts off with a long platinum blonde wig with some wings added on top. Most likely this is done via a headband piece added in. Her main chest piece looks to be a tank top base in black with an armor chest piece layered on top. It does go all the way up to Lisa's neck so I have to wonder if she had any trouble moving her head around while wearing this. Magik has a mixture of long and short sleeved coverings for her arms. There's also different pauldrons on the shoulders. One of which is smoothed out with what I believe is the X-Men symbol on one and the other is covere...

Cosplay Showcase: Holly Wolf's Queen Zelda!

Even though last week I shared my wonderful Katsucon roomies, this is where Katsu cosplays take priority as I share at least one debuted a week. Pretty much how I did with Blizzcon if I had cosplays to talk about. If there's one thing I can count on with Holly Wolf, it's her undying love for the Legend of Zelda. With a collaboration between her and scifeyecandy led to the creation of this gorgeous gown you see Holly rocking. The basis/idea around it is mainly Zelda in her Breath of the Wild version growing up to be Queen of Hyrule. The full blown gown has some callbacks to Zelda's everyday outfit seen in flashbacks of BotW. The blue, white and gold is out in full force and I'm in complete awe of how Holly looks. I saw her in this briefly while chatting with Kristen Hughey at Katsucon! Me being the way I am though, I didn't get the courage to introduce myself (one of these days Holly I PROMISE <3). The outfit itself consists of one full piece, the top portion resembles Zelda's look in the latest entry.

For the top part, Holly has what looks to be a white under-suit/piece that the blue and gold rests on top of. Full on neck coverage along with her arms as well. Near her neck is a high pop collar that extends all the way down her back in a cape like matter. White separates the top piece to the bottom area of the gown. Here, it looks like a gold part of it runs down the middle like a tabard. The Triforce symbol makes its presence here and the sides of the gown have the same glitter gold pattern. Along her sleeves, the blue starts up at her shoulders to her elbows. The sleeves then drape downward with white covering the rest of her arms. Small gold bracelets decorate each arm.

There's just so freaking much going on with this cosplay that I don't know if I can cover every intricate detail in it. Hanging off the collar is a necklace that looks almost sewn into the top blue piece. Holly also has a white/blonde long wig with a full tiara on her forehead. Can't forget about the elf ears too right? Seeing this in person for the split second I did, the blue looked to be almost like a felt/fuzzy material. Maybe you guys know what I'm talking about here? The gold tabard part also is coming down from her waist which is decorated in a belt shaped pattern. Oh and part of her cape is in that light see through material, and it sparkles :O. The photos do wonders in showing off nearly every part of this cosplay and Holly just looks so damn regal and KILLS IT in the posing department. Check them out guys!
