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: Little Sparkz's Chromie!

Past cosplay write ups have for sure included the various Dragon Aspects within the Warcraft universe. Mostly with Jessica's various takes on Alexstraza, Deathwing and other dragons. One character I haven't really seen is Chromie who governs the Bronze Dragonflight which overall handles the machinations of time travel. Little Sparkz however has us covered today with her cosplay of the dragon's human form which takes on the Gnome race. What I love about this outfit is the mix between armor work and fabric. The armor seems to be heavily present in the super round pauldrons along with a breastplate of sorts. The latter piece is resting against a long dress of sorts. The shoulders are multi layered with that round shape and have an interesting gold pattern up at the top/peak of each part. With a white base underneath and then black taking up much of the space on them. Up in this area you can also see a super cute necklace which has a giant pendant front and center.

The main top is white and the breastplate acts like a vest with the armor consisting of fabric straps in black attached to bronze/gold cups. From there the armor covers her sides rather than meeting in the center like most breastplates are. It leads me to believe again that this is placed on like a small vest. Sparkz's sleeves have an opening up near her shoulders along with small bracers on the forearm. Getting down to her pants is where fabric takes center stage. I love how the white texture looks along with the back bands draping down from her waist.

Wrapped around her waist is black fabric done with a golden trim. This trim is pretty much seen everywhere where fabric is present. Little Sparkz also has THE CUTEST WIG <3. The shade is a platinum blonde with hair buns up near the top. She also went all out in the prop department with both a giant staff and hourglass in each hand. The staff alternates between gold and white with a center spot done in a bright shade of blue. Some of the shots make it seem like it lights up so I'm curious if that's true :O. The hourglass is on the bigger side with an ornate patterning of gold throughout the glass. Held up by a long chain, I have to imagine she had helpers nearby with handling all this. I know I couldn't handle two props of that magnitude for long periods of times at a con! Check these other shots out, THEY'RE AMAZING!

I would hope that this cosplay would be enough for you guys to check out Little Sparkz's amazing portfolio of outfits. She's also set to be at Blizzcon this year and I'm wondering if she'll be part of the Ebon Blade group happening or if she's got some other massive build planned. Either way, I'm very VERY excited to see what Little Sparkz will create next <3.
