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 Feature: SparkleStache's Nova Widowmaker!

Keeping it with Blizzard themed cosplays again so hopefully you guys are ok with that! Here, I've got the lovely SparkleStache in a skin for Widowmaker from Overwatch! Taking cues from another Blizzard IP, Widow is dressed on point as the sniper Nova from Starcraft. A drastic departure from the character's default dark/purple skin and pink bodysuit! Here, lots of tan and white mix in with the dark colored armor pieces. The bodysuit looks to be done with fabric but some of the shading and shots look like it was done in individual armored pieces :O. You've got small hip armor pieces along Krissy's waist which are done in a black and light blue center. These colors pretty much make up the other armor seen on the cosplay.

The shoulder pieces look small and are attached to Nova's breastplate she has going on. The arms have gauntlet like pieces with small black and blue spots attached to a much larger piece. On the chest piece, the collar looks raised and the bodysuit can be seen poking out from this area too! Krissy has a pretty giant blonde ponytail wig going on which has a pretty interesting head piece going on. The ear pieces have wires sticking out and attaching to her back piece. One of the hip armor parts has alot more going on with piping attached to a full leg piece.

Then there's of course the massive weapon in question for a prop. Krissy wields the sniper rifle with ease so foam or PVC must have been used in its construction as was the armor. The gun has lots of details added in to give off that futuristic feel. There's even some blue strips and serial numbers etched in! Most of the poses show off this prop in all of its glory. Whether she's standing proud or pointing right at your unlucky self! I know I wouldn't mess with her in this cosplay :D.
