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 Feature: SyrupCookie's Zelda!

Bless cosplay mom Jessica Nigri for sharing a WEALTH of wonderful cosplayers lately which have been a fantastic source of content for me. SyrupCookie is one such individual and the landscape style shot is what drew me into wanting to gush about her. Today, you can have a look at her SPOT ON Zelda from this year's Breath of the Wild. I'll get to the photos down below but for now, let's discuss the cosplay itself! This design for the Princess is lots more conservative in addition to being colorful as all hell. The top portion is a mixture of gold trim/patterns across a blue shade matching Link's Champion Shirt. There's also the white areas on the top and bottom areas of the shirt. The patterning here can be seen mostly on the top, where it has that 3D puffed look that truthfully reminds me of how mattress sheets look. You guys know what I'm talking about? This is such an awesome trick!

The middle portion of this piece has bird like claws in gold which is a reference to the eventual inclusion of the Loftwing in the Hylian Shield and crest. The Triforce symbol is seen almost directly below this in what looks to be a belt strap separating the blue from the white. Syrup's sleeves are mainly blue with some white up near her wrists. Black gloves cover up her hands. There's also a brown belt around her waist before you get into the pants area. Speaking of which, the pants are a lot more on the simple side with just being straight black.

Her boots are a wonderful mix of black and brown with what looks to be hints of leather added into the construction. The elf ears and wig for Syrup is just spot on and she knocked it out of the park with creating it. The braids are beautifully layered on the wig, plus the color is perfect! I honestly don't know how the photos were taken but they are gorgeous beyond belief. Lots of wilderness shots with incorporation of the Silent Princess flower found in the game. One picture I have for you guys recreates that heart-wrenching scene of Zelda crying into Link's arms as she's wearing the ceremonial white dress. The dirt added into her skin and dress is so dang authentic! Check it out for yourselves!
