Cosplay Feature: Shiro Cos as Melinoe!

So I knew I was gonna get insanely addicted to Hades 2 but I wasn't expecting to essentially clear it all out a little over a month after it released. Having done so much in the first game it didn't take long for me to get back into the rouge-lite groove and do run after run to progress its story. So naturally that led to me wanting to find cosplayers that portrayed the main antagonist Melinoe. Shiro Cos was someone I came across early on as I was searching throughout Instagram with the game's hashtag attached and man does this look freaking awesome. To kick things off, the 3D files for some of the pieces like her weaponry in ADDITION to the killer shoot location were provided by cosplay collective  The Dangerous Ladies ! Shiro has a short bob cut blonde wig with a small leaf crown placed on top. That crown also has a silver moon symbol placed directly in the middle of it. This to help signify Melinoe's placement as one of the Silver Sisters. You'll notice that the ...

Cosplay Showcase: Princess Natalie's Thor!

At this year's NYCC, I had the amazing pleasure of running into and meeting Princess Natalie who's dressed up here as Lady Thor! I really took an eye towards the armor details and was completely enamored by the cosplay as a whole! For those out of the loop, there was a time period where the mantle of Thor was given to Jane Foster and what transpired is the outfit you see up above! There are several elements which of course reference the original Thor from the classic color scheme to the armor pieces themselves. So what exactly makes up this cosplay? First off is the iconic helmet done in a silver shade alongside the breastplate. The helmet has large wings on either side of the helm, plus the center point has what looks like a heart design etched in. Flowing out is long blonde hair which looks to be a wig. I don't know for sure if both are separate or if the hair is attached to the helm somehow!

Natalie's cape for Thor is super long and pretty much travels down towards her feet. It's not at a point where the cape is being dragged on the floor so that certainly makes it easy for traversal. Here, the cape is held on by two circles attached to the chest-piece. Speaking of, the chest area has even more patterns added in plus a gold and black symbol added in towards the bottom. After that looks to be a black shirt underneath for comfort on Natalies skin.

Then you have a brown belt with several silver circles in the dead center. For pants, Natalie has tan drapes covering both legs as they definitely hit the floor. A darker brown cloth is seen in the middle. The boots are really interesting as they too are in silver and look like they were modified in certain ways. I can see that there's a small armor section right above the boots themselves! Oh and to quickly add, one arm has a bracer whereas the other is pretty bare!

It truly wouldn't be a Thor cosplay without the iconic Mjolnir and Natalie absolutely made sure to keep that in! The hammer looks to be of a pretty normal size and I imagine it was made with materials light enough for Natalie to carry around constantly. It certainly adds in so much for poses like the shot right above here! Various belt straps can be seen alongside the pants as well! I absolutely enjoyed seeing this cosplay in person and would love to try and get Natalie on my podcast at some point. For the time being, enjoy these other shots I gathered ^_^
