Cosplay Feature: 16bitSami's Dancing Scyther!

Photo by Two Flame Studios Pokemon gijinkas never fail to impress me and 16bitSami's take on Scyther as a Scimitar Dancer immediately caught my eye in wanting to write about it. Done for Otakon earlier in the year, Sami states that she wanted to emulate the "dancer style vibes" she had for a previous take on Flareon. Not only that, but there are other elements taken from a Cowslip designed Scyther cosplay she did nearly 10 years ago :O. So if you want to let learn more about this gorgeous cosplay, let's dive in! Sami has a fantastic long green wig that has a sort of forest vibe with its shade. I'm not entirely sure if the armor piece directly on top of it is a leaf design of sorts but Sami has that rocking as additional headgear. Some of the pictures I have will also give a glimpse to a green hood that travels down her back with a gold trim on the edge. I really love the blend of clothing and armor that Sami utilized for this cosplay. When you get down to the main...

Cosplay Feature: Sami Bess' Bowsette!


While I already shared a Showcase on several cuties as Bowsette (you can read that here!), the meme has continued its dominance in the current months. Many cosplayers are just now finishing their cosplay whether it's due to saving it for Patreon content or wanting to put a spin on it. Sami Bess is one such individual and gosh is her Bowsette stunning! Here, Sami went with the red hair variant and a whole lotta armor! First off, you got what looks to be a one piece black suit in vinyl that serves as the base to the whole outfit. This material is then repeated for leggings and arm sleeves. On each of these pieces is armor done up in Bowser's signature turtle shell pattern. This includes a small breastplate, shoulder pieces and parts to her arms and legs. There's also multiple arm bands with spikes around them.

Sami is also rocking an adorable Bob-omb prop with a lit fuse most likely added in post (the fuse, not the bomb). Some armor also have spikes poking outward, including her shoulders, chest and part of the leg armor. I absolutely love the shading done in-between the green paint. Sami's wig is a bright shade of red which is just lovely! She also has puffy red fuzz that come before the shoulder pieces. Other photos make them look like a separate piece and not part of the wig which is what I originally thought. Some of the shots I picked out are on the lewd angle so the leggings are replaced with fishnets.

I also find the Chain Chomp earrings to be cute as all hell! The Super Crown and horns on top are gorgeously crafted with the former looking like it was done with multiple material types. Back shots of Sami reveal the turtle shell and a tail attached to it near the bottom. Bowsette's shell looks to have been done either with material similar to the armor OR was a repurposed item as I've seen a few cosplayers mess around with a TMNT backpack to create this. The tail also looks like it wasn't done using soft material as that's another element I've seen in other Bowsettes. This is why I love cosplay though, people can have different takes on the same character and still be incredibly faithful to it. Check out these other pics!



Sami is an absolutely gorgeous cosplayer and you guys should totally check out this cutie's work. Can also support her on Patreon if you want!
