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 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!
