Cosplay Feature: Holly Bean Cosplay's Sypha from Castlevania!

Photo by David Ngo By the time you're reading this, I will have just gotten back from my first convention of the year, PAX East! You can hear all about it in a brand new episode of CosplayBytes! For now, let's go back a little bit further to MAGFest from January for even more gaming related cosplays. Holly Bean Cosplay here brought along her cosplay of the devoted mage Sypha from the Castlevania anime adaptation aired on Netflix. By the time of this posting, the original has aired two seasons plus a spin off called Nocturne starring another Belmont Descendant. You'll notice that even if the cosplay is relatively simple in its design, I love both the pose work that Holly has done in addition to the edited photos that came out of this. Starting from the top, Holly is rocking a short orange wig with a variety of curls and wefts seen on her sides and from the back. Then you have the main top piece all in a light shade of blue and layered.

STRUCK FIRST: Bishoujo Mom as Charlotte!


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.

Bishoujo Mom not only is a wonderful friend but she's a superbly talented cosplayer, and this outfit in particular had me all sorts of excited the moment she announced it. This was awhile ago and Juliette was recently very happy with finally shooting her. The character in question is the adorable yet sometimes lewd sadist, Charlotte from Fire Emblem Fates! When the photos first started popping up, Juliette stated that this was her first real armor cosplay and holy smokes was I blown away! Overall the outfit is super skimpy with many straps throughout the body acting as a base for armor placement. Considering she also wields an axe, I don't think this is proper battle wear XD. The blonde wig and giant bow are prominent here as well as covering up the shoulder pieces. So I don't think there's a good look at them. What I can tell you though, is that the color of them is the same as pretty much the rest of the armor.

Immediately you can also see the giant neck piece that looks like it could straight up eat Juliette's head. The white bra has a cute black trim pattern and is of course attractive as all hell. The other armor items include gauntlets and leg pieces. These latter parts are placed on straps that can be seen in some shots. The belt looks to be connected to the leg armor, and yup she's in undies XD. Charlotte's overall design is an odd one for sure, though I imagine she's a waifu to many!

Gold and silver color up the armor and the axe's face has a purple shade to it. Silver makes up the rim/rest of the axe PLUS it looks impressive as all hell! Done by her friend Madison, I just love how it brings the whole outfit together. The bright setting makes the armor, wig and bra stand out too! Seriously I'm so proud of Juliette for rocking this character, can definitely see how much she means to her! Here are the other photos :)
