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: Chamomiletay's Shadow Sae


Cosplays that just don't cover the main protagonists of a series/franchises is something I appreciate from time to time in my overall love I have for the hobby. Sometimes, the secondary villains or NPC's get left out in favor of the big bads or characters that have left a huge impression on a person. While Sae Nijima from Persona 5 is a central supporting character to the story, not many have cosplayed as her Shadow which you face in her dazzling Palace. Chamomiletay has you covered for today as her Shadow Sae is absolutely gorgeous. As a whole, the cosplay is relatively simple in the design. Full on black from the main cloak, to the hat and her gloves. There's also fishnet stockings for her legs as well! On certain parts, you can see playing cards inserted into the outfit since that's Sae's whole gimmick/element that she runs with. Given that her Palace manifests as a casino, it makes sense right?

The hat has that stylish flat top design that adventurers wear like Indiana Jones or even Carmen Sandiego. The cards are placed within a few yellow flowers that adorn said hat. There's also a few cheekily placed in one of her stockings down below. The gloves look to have been done with a silk like fabric so I'm betting that they're soft to touch! A lone purple strand is seen along Chamomiletay's waist which is probably used to tie something together. The wig has got to be one of my favorite parts to the cosplay. Styled up to drop on one side, it's exploding with silver hair and adds so much to the full cosplay!

The main cloak also looks to have one leg exposed while covering the other. Oh and there's also a spiked collar around the neck because OF COURSE <3. The photos are something else too! My gut is actually telling me these were taken at Katsucon earlier this year based on how some of the backgrounds look. The purple color effects added in just work for the character and Chamomiletay absolutely brings it in the posing department :D. See for yourself down below! Also, I love her makeup for Sae too!
