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: League of Larcy's Pajama Guardian Soraka!

My lovely friend Larcy has such an array of cosplay making skills, whether it's making a whole set of Monster Hunter armor, to comfy cosplays like a Mudkip romper. Both of which were recently debuted at her last convention! Today however, I wanted to focus a bit on the comfy side. Sometimes you just need something cozy to look at or wear at busy events like conventions. Pajama Guardian Soraka is one such cosplay and OH MAN GUYS IT'S SO CUTE! The idea here is taking an established skin that the champion Soraka has (from League of Legends) and turn it into comfy nightwear! Like most LoL cosplays I write about, it involves me having to travel to the Wiki site in order to gather more information XD. Turns out as I was looking up the skin I thought it was based on, Pajama Guardian is a legitimate skin! How about that?

From the name itself, lots of soft material was used for the cosplay in addition to the color scheme. Being green with yellow and blue, that's ever so present in the photos I found. Larcy has long pants and a shirt which looks to have that long strip of yellow down the center. Decorated up at the top here is a blue bow with a star in its center. Larcy seems to have a jacket of sorts that's long sleeved with a whole lot of fluff alongside the cuffs. To top it all off, you have a hoodie portion that has a yellow trim line with cute ears! The wig is a very pastel shade of green.

I absolutely can't forget to mention the giant unicorn like horn sticking out of her forehead! There's also another set of actual ears closely placed with the wig. All the photos are super bright and soft too! I am a big fan of Larcy's serene expressions on her face too, and the nature scenery works really well with this character and skin. Some of these shots also portray certain colors differently due to the lighting effects. Which color is the real one? START GUESSING <3.
