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!

Why She's my Favorite: Mink the Satyr

Photo by A peace of light

I'm 100% adamant in the fact that Mink the Satyr is another amazing individual who I'm ever so blessed to know. I honestly can't remember how we met but I do know that our first encounter was at NYCC with her as one of the Gem gals from Steven Universe! In addition, she also wore her incredible Ninetails gijinka to that same convention. Through long FB chats and phone calls, I'm so glad she's been a part of my life for as long as she has been. Mainly with my own insecurities and helping me make decisions I've made to better myself. Not to mention helping my blog expand with collaboration posts and being a guest on CosplayBytes several times! She's a master of horrible puns, and a wizard at REALLY creating authentic cosplay pieces. I currently have reminders of what went into her Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn as I'm writing this piece. The effort Mink put into that is just insane.

Mainly, Mink the Satyr is known for her incredible Pokemon gijinkas. In fact, that's pretty much the only thing she's created as of late. I know I'm not complaining <3. Whenever I have a shortage of posts to write, she's always there to lend a hand in providing me with SUPER in-depth write ups on some of her latest builds! She offers such amazing advice both cosplay wise and IRL tips as well. I genuinely want to thank her for helping me in my recent struggles since things I've dealt with are less prevalent thanks to her giant heart <3.

I've got some shots I wanted to share in addition to some convention photos of the 2 of us :D. Enjoy guys!
