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.

STRUCK FIRST: Jaycee Cosplay as Victorian Jolteon!

Struck First gives you a first look at a cosplay just as it's been debuted/had its first photoshoot. Cosplayers have been kind enough to let me have a first crack at analyzing the cosplay by providing me with brand new pictures.

Leave it to my favorite waifu Jaycee Cosplay to always cosplay some fantastical designs and this year at Katsucon kept that tradition going! Jaycee along with several other cosplayers, brought the Eeveelutions at full force in these gorgeous Victorian era dresses. Naturally, Jess chose Jolteon since that's her favorite. I truly feel this is one of her most gorgeous cosplays, like Jess is already a stunner but the outfit is just full of little details and sparkles. A collaborative effort with several other costume makers, this Jolteon was brought to life in a stunning display. So what does the cosplay consist of? Sticking out of the back and behind her is a massive array of white fabric that look to have wire usage in them to stay up. A gorgeous blonde wig with many waves makes up the head area with Jolteon's signature ears on top.

I'm not that surprised by the corset usage since that's another go to costume form that Jess uses in many of her outfits. Placed just below the bra like area, it's more of a standard yellow shade when compared to the leotard bodysuit that it's on top of. Various white details are along the top and side of the corset which then get into the massive floof that Jess has going on for her sides and back. Before getting to that though, the bodysuit is more of a golden shade with a lot of shine to it. A lot of etching can be seen on the chest and sleeves. The latter part also has some frilliness for the cuffs.

The leotard stops at the usual part with an opening on the frontal leg area. Back to the massive side pieces I mentioned previously, HOLY SMOKES ALL THE LAYERS! The white details adorn each side up near the start and travel to almost her heels she's seen wearing. Said heels look to be normal which I definitely understand. Walking around all day in this must have been a pain at some points! Jess also has a cute jeweled neckpiece up at the top!


The photos I found of this are just so beautiful. I wish I was able to see this in person so I hope somehow another opportunity arises. I just love this lady so much you guys, her work and personality always makes me happy <3.
