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.

Cosplay Showcase: ALL HAIL BOWSETTE

Kinpatsu Cosplay

If you've been on the internet the past several weeks since Nintendo's last Direct, strong odds are you've seen the madness (and sexiness) that is Bowsette. The Super Crown take on Bowser has taken the cosplay world by storm and everyone is jumping in on this. Cosplayers ranging from Kinpatsu, Jessica Nigri, Kaybear, Kristen Lanae and a slew of others. I thought it would be best to do an overall look on the outfit as drawn and share the many talented ladies who've cosplayed as the femme fatale. Bowsette's design empowers that dominatrix vibe. A single black leotard with an opening at the chest. This is one spot where cosplayers vary that take, mainly on how much cleavage they wish to show. At the center point, is a blue brooch similar to what's on Princess Peach's design. Spike bracelets cover the arms and wrists, these look to be done with foam or a variety of materials.

The blonde wig is done in a similar style to Peach but there's also a red-head/dark skin variant of Bowsette which Kaybear did a take on as did several other cosplayers. The signature crown has either been done by hand or commissioned by other prop makers for the cosplayers. Coming out of the wig are Bowser's signature horns done in full blown white. The spikes also make a return on necks and sometimes the legs.

In the leg area, it also varies to either spandex or fishnets. Some cosplayers included a tail and many have the others signature piece: the shell. Many cosplayers did a fabulous job in crafting it and some went ham like Jessica Nigri adding in a small car with a full on paint job. The shell gets some action in the poses and looks absolutely amazing. Some cosplayers have taken the longer route in wanting to really give jaw-dropping outfits so I'm all for Bowsette sticking around for as long as it needs. Check out the many other photos I collected for this Showcase!
