Cosplay Feature: Gray Oranges' Rikku!

Photo by David Ngo I won't ever shy away from writing about cosplays of Rikku's look from Final Fantasy X-2 and Gray Orange did a fantastic job portraying her in both the overall cosplay look PLUS the pose work. Of course I'll get to all that in due time but let's start at the top! It's certainly a cosplay worn for several events and I want to say I first saw this in the overall collection of MAGFest photos back in January of this year. I really love how the multiple braid strands are integrated into the blonde wig for starters. I can't tell if they're either part of the wig itself or the blue headband that's wrapped around. In any case, following this is a red scarf wrapped around Irini's neck before you then get to the yellow bikini top. Here, you can also see orange trim lines as part of the piece. Oh, I forgot to mention that the red scarf actually travels all the way down to her legs. These end points then transition to a yellow/orange gradient!

Cosplay Showcase: Marie Sturges' KH3 Kairi!

Photo by David Ngo

It's been over a month since Kingdom Hearts 3 finally was able to grace us all with its release! Though that certainly isn't stopping the cosplays and hype from coming through. Today, meet Marie Sturges, a lovely individual that I found through Karlibra a few weeks ago and man is her Kairi absolutely adorable! This is her new look she got as part of the recent release and it definitely follows the plaid theme that the other main characters are sporting! Marie's Kairi is a cute pink dress with what looks like a detachable hood on the back. On said hood are little black cat ears because of course Kairi would wear something like that! The dress overall consists of multiple solo buttons on both sides, traveling down to just about the bottom of the dress.

At the waist you have pink hoops for a simple black belt with a large buckle to bring it all together. From here on out, you've got even more buttons and what looks to be pink flaps as part of some pockets on again, the left and right sides. Many of the main shots were taken on the beach so Marie is barefoot which I don't blame her for being. If there are shoes/boots in the first pic then I imagine they're too nice to risk ruining in the sand. The bottom of the skirt is segmented in various fabric types and colors. One side is full on black with pink taking up the middle and then the plaid comes in on the other side.

Plaid like lines also appear at the very edge of Marie's sleeves too! Prop wise, she's wielding the Oathkeeper keyblade which looks to have been one of the many versions you see vendors sell at conventions. As such, it's mostly lightweight and done in foam! Marie's wig is pretty perfect as well with that short bob cut style done in red. The other shots I have for you do a wonderful job with the natural lighting and this is the perfect place to have a photoshoot for Kairi!
