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 Feature: Phalafel Cosplay's Golden Lynel!


I had to share Phalafel Cosplay's latest cosplay endeavor cause holy smokes CENTAUR ACTION! Zelda's latest entry brought about a lot of changes to the series that was most welcome by many fans. The enemy design especially was really fantastic, and Phalafel wanted to take one of the more difficult enemies to task. Enter in her Golden Lynel and yep, the horse body is absolutely legit! As you can guess by the name, yellow and gold are part of the outfit with her weapon and the horse section. An impressive white wig decorates her head with some sturdy horns attached to them. These horns are white in color with black edges. The main chest portion is a rad looking breastplate that's silver in color.

The chest piece has small claws peeking out at certain spots in addition to many battle damaged scars. This is repeated on her tabard like piece that's attached via a belt. There's also small bands wrapped around Phalafel's arms. Here's where we get into the horse portion! First glance, it looks like the gold pants have the body attached on the back, so Phalafel must have had an area where she can slip into it. This portion also has feet and white boots added in much like her side of the outfit.

The white boots definitely have a lot of fuzzy action along the bottom. That's not all that Phalafel decided to make for this cosplay. Enter in the massive sword which must be done in a light material for her to wield it that easily! The sword has a loose chain and a gold hilt which slightly goes further in with small circles added in. The blade itself has a very crazy shape with curves and points going in various directions. In some ways, to me it looks like a giant axe more so than a sword.


All the shots look to have been taken in a wide open field and holy smokes does Phalafel look FABULOUS IN THEM! The blue sky in the image above especially works well with the colors of the cosplay itself! Be sure to check out the other photos throughout this whole write up :D.
