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!

Small Business Shoutout: Gallery94!


As far as I know, you guys are ok with more gorgeous art based businesses for these posts. SO HOW ABOUT SOME MORE EH? Gallery94 is a shop based out in Oklahoma that specializes in hyper-realistic versions of famous gaming and pop culture icons. Arguably I'd say it's more famous pieces are the realistic versions of the Star Fox crew in addition to some members of Star Wolf. There are also images of characters like Pac-Man and Appa from Last Airbender with their silhouette filled in with gorgeous scenery or hyper realistic versions of their games. A good example is is the Pac Man which is filled in with a green maze, plus the ghosts are actual phantoms of human people. These creations are repurposed into other pieces like canvas prints, mugs, pillow cases and more!

Compared to the other art specific shops I've shared, I'd classify Gallery94 as a little more on the classy/fine art line. These prints no doubt add more sophistication to where ever you see fit to hang them. Again, there's really not much else I can say since I described most of this shop within the first paragraph XD. So like always, I'll let the product images do the talking!
