Shutting One Door, Keeping others Open

UPDATED ON 8/20/21: Facebook, Patreon and Blog IG pages have been shutdown/discontinued As the COVID pandemic rages on and cons are even shutting down into 2021, it got me thinking on a drive home one night about how I'd feel with even coming back to blogging. When cons eventually do come back at some point. Truth be told, many of the posts and content I shared here could be transferred over to more discussions via my podcast CosplayBytes. I've been blogging my love for games, cons and cosplay for 7 years now and maybe it's time to say goodbye for now? My podcast has gotten me some incredible opportunities as a member of Press for conventions, and the rapid love I've had for streaming is also taking up a lot of time now. On top of multiple personal things on my end, I don't think I have the energy to keep this up even post COVID you know? The very first cosplay centered post I wrote was on Jessica Nigri's Deadpool, and since then it's spawned over 800 posts

Cosplay Showcase: Goldvester Cosplay's Moze!

The hype is still strong for Borderlands 3 which released late last month, so of course a plethora of cosplays were created! Goldvester Cosplay here went ahead and created an outfit for Moze, one of the new playable Vault Hunters from the game. What's always fascinated me about BL cosplays is how people are able to recreate that iconic cel-shaded look in the armor work/facial features. Immediately I can only recall only featuring Mad Moxxi cosplayers on the blog in the past. Moze here is of the Gunner class so she's got that armed veteran look with a black vest and shoulder guards of varying sizes on them. You also have gloves and combat pants with an army green shade. From the top, Gold has a small helmet with the sides replicating her hair. You also have a small peek of it appearing from the front.

The helmet itself also has a variety of sections with the main one looking like a piece of wood with several bullets strapped to one side. The other has what looks to possibly be a flashlight. The detailing is absolutely insane and I can only imagine if it was either fun or tedious to get all the lines just right for Goldvester. Around her neck you can see a red scarf before getting into the black jacket. Here you can see a variety of pins placed near the top. Again, the cel-shaded lines really transform this part into something that has multiple layers. One of her shoulders as I mentioned earlier has this large plate done in red and blue. A white star can be seen dead center in addition to metal like pipes sticking out along the top.

Strapped to Gold's back is a white pack of sorts with a giant hole in the middle. It looks like the perfect holding spot for the gun she's wielding as her prop. Here, it's done beautifully in the orange, white and blue color scheme. It also has an amazing hexagon pattern covering all of it. Wristbands in brown can be seen along her arms. Next up are the pants which first off have a brown strap around the waist with what looks like a battery pack behind her. Various straps are wrapped around in addition to the pouches that can be seen her too! One of Goldvester's legs here has a tan colored section and I honestly can't tell if it's still the pants or if it was an armor piece created and placed on top. MY MIND IS PLAYING TRICKS ON ME!

The pants also have different lengths as you get towards the ends of them. For the footwear, Gold has small brown boots with an exaggerated top trim. One shoe has an armor plate to it as well! Just everywhere you look on this cosplay the detailing is perfected and amazing. Goldvester Cosplay did a phenomenal job on this, definitely take a look at the other photos below! <3
