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: JennyBelly's Espeon!

So long as Pokemon exists as a franchise, so too will the endless gijinka concepts of the more than 700 pocket monsters. Today, I have the absolutely adorable JennyBelly in a beautiful kimono-esque version of Espeon. For the psychic based Eeveelution, Jenny went all out on the lavender color scheme with hints of pink that you can see in places such as her collar piece. Overall, we have first a super long wig in lavender that consists of twin tails traveling down on either side. Dark blue ears can be seen sticking out in addition to pink ones right next to them. Jenny's top is more so like a crop top with that pink collar piece I mentioned earlier. A red gemstone can be seen in the middle of that section which calls back to the gemstone adorning Espeon's forehead.

A white tie is hanging off of the collar and the top as a whole is lavender in color with a frilly trim at the bottom. That frilliness is repeated as the top trim for her long skirt. A giant pink bow is wrapped around her waist and takes up a good portion of this bottom area. Pink is the main color for this skirt with some white acting as side coverage. There's also some added detailing in these pieces which looks absolutely beautiful! I love the overall fabric choice that Jenny went for Espeon. It has lots of folds to it and looks like it flows wonderfully for some of the pictures I have to share of this.

In addition, Jenny has super long sleeves that have that oversize look to them. Bands in a darker shade of purple can be seen wrapped around just above her elbow area. There's also a small Espeon plush that Jenny has as a prop, but also to help people figure out which Pokemon she's cosplaying as in case it isn't too widely known. The outdoor setting for these pics is BEYOND PERFECT. With how the outfit looks, it's totally suitable to the background in the shots taken. Take a look!
