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: Acdramon's Genji!


I'm kicking off February's #29DaysofBlackCosplay with the incredible Acdramon and his Genji alt created from Overwatch! Specifically, Avery here is in the ninja's Bloodlines outfit. Hence a lot of red is involved with the armor coloring. As you can imagine with cosplays like these, a full bodysuit is acting as a base for each piece. From the gauntlets to the chest piece, everything looks to be secured on! The mask is laid out on top of Avery's which is fully covered most likely so the hair doesn't get in the way. The red outline showing where the white portion goes just looks so clean! Traveling down the neck you have a collar piece that stretches out to his shoulders. A single armor piece then rests on said shoulders. Down the arms you have an assortment of pieces and gauntlets going down. Even the hands and fingers have pieces to them! :O

The chest area really looks cool! Two end pieces are done in red with white stripes before meeting in the middle. Then it involves a symmetrical pattern on each side! Lots of grey coloring is also present with the side areas having a textured pattern. Various armor pieces are seen throughout the legs in red and silver color variations. I love how each of these look since it gives off the metal plating vibe. The weathering/shine added in is just perfect. Not to mention some sections including nuts/bolts within the armor! What's really stunning though has to be the finished shots.

Some of the pics like the one at the start of this post show Avery in a high action like state. The motion blur effects make it seem that he's moving through the field, whether he's blasting through enemies or pushing the payload through. It also does look like some LED effects were utilized in the chest-piece and mask! I get the sense that Avery had a blast wearing this cosplay! You can check out the other shots down below!
