Cosplay Feature: Shiro Cos as Melinoe!

So I knew I was gonna get insanely addicted to Hades 2 but I wasn't expecting to essentially clear it all out a little over a month after it released. Having done so much in the first game it didn't take long for me to get back into the rouge-lite groove and do run after run to progress its story. So naturally that led to me wanting to find cosplayers that portrayed the main antagonist Melinoe. Shiro Cos was someone I came across early on as I was searching throughout Instagram with the game's hashtag attached and man does this look freaking awesome. To kick things off, the 3D files for some of the pieces like her weaponry in ADDITION to the killer shoot location were provided by cosplay collective  The Dangerous Ladies ! Shiro has a short bob cut blonde wig with a small leaf crown placed on top. That crown also has a silver moon symbol placed directly in the middle of it. This to help signify Melinoe's placement as one of the Silver Sisters. You'll notice that the ...

Cosplay Showcase: OfficialGothBarbie's Steampunk Mercy!


Every so often, I find a cosplayer that I just instantly click with and fawn over like crazy. Today I have one such gorgeous gal and that's OfficialGothBarbie. Proclaiming herself as a big tiddy goth gf, she has some really amazing cosplays. I just had to choose one of her Overwatch outfits since she clearly has a passion for the franchise. Even going as far as being a Blizzard endorsed cosplayer for her Ashe! Rather than focusing on the newest hero, I wanted to go to Mercy. This skin is more on a Steampunk edge and isn't really in the game after checking. However, it is a popular design done up by several artists and I've no doubt Barbie had to take one of them and recreate it. A black Victorian style dress makes up most of cosplay with a clear opening down the middle up front. Mostly it covers her backside.

The black dress also has white frills in that old timey fashion that you probably recognize from elsewhere. Up top though Barbie has a white dress top with a gratuitous opening in her chest. Directly after that is a black corset that's very common for female steampunk designs as a whole. Said corset has an opening for the white top to rest on with straps going around her shoulders. The sleeves have the puffed up look and are followed by leather gloves in a mixture of black and brown straps.

The corset is covered with various buckles and studs. There's also a blue buckle of sorts on the side. Barbie has a lot of Mercy's signature props going on in this outfit. The staff for instance has a blue glow at the top but mainly has a simple design and a gold/bronze color scheme. The top of the staff is three pronged all folded down. Attached on her back are the famous wings that Mercy has in pretty much all of her skins. These look a little more simpler and mechanical. Fitting for the steampunk look!

 These wings have that bronze color with the main wing blades being silver/metal grey. I'm curious if it was bothersome for Barbie to have it attached on her back like that. There's also the blonde wig which is styled just perfectly. On top of that, she also has a pair of goggles with blue lenses and a bronze base. A small choker can be seen around her neck too. Lastly, Barbie is rocking stocking and garters underneath with long brown boots for footwear. She definitely has all the curves for Mercy and looks stellar in the pics. One can't help but fall in love with her just from looking at them *swoons*. Check out the other pics I found!
