Cosplay Feature: Holly Bean Cosplay's Sypha from Castlevania!

Photo by David Ngo By the time you're reading this, I will have just gotten back from my first convention of the year, PAX East! You can hear all about it in a brand new episode of CosplayBytes! For now, let's go back a little bit further to MAGFest from January for even more gaming related cosplays. Holly Bean Cosplay here brought along her cosplay of the devoted mage Sypha from the Castlevania anime adaptation aired on Netflix. By the time of this posting, the original has aired two seasons plus a spin off called Nocturne starring another Belmont Descendant. You'll notice that even if the cosplay is relatively simple in its design, I love both the pose work that Holly has done in addition to the edited photos that came out of this. Starting from the top, Holly is rocking a short orange wig with a variety of curls and wefts seen on her sides and from the back. Then you have the main top piece all in a light shade of blue and layered.

Cosplay Feature: Alexis Victorious' Commander Shepard!


Cosplayer Alexis Victorious instantly won me over with this amazing Commander Shepard instantly when I was looking through her portfolio. In researching this outfit, I instantly recognized the background of some of these shots. New York Comic Con looks to have been the event where this cosplay was debuted. Whether it was last year or a previous one I am not really sure. In any case, Alexis here is rocking the iconic N7 armor in all of the classic color scheme. First off, the armor certainly looks to be resting on top of an under-suit which serves as the base. Various buckles can be seen especially around the leg armor to help keep it in place. Starting at the top, you have a raised collar piece which then goes into arm pieces in addition to some shoulder spots.

The armor alongside the arm specifically has red and white strips traveling down. Those color appear again on the other arm and the N7 logo that's squared up on her chest piece. Alexis has the chest piece placed on from the front it seems and travels down to her waist. From there, you have an interesting belt that angles upwards. The remainder of the cosplay consists of a variety of leg pieces attached via the buckles I mentioned earlier.

I really love how clean and smooth the armor looks. My best guess would be that EVA foam was the main material used in its construction! Prop wise, Alexis has the signature arm blade that can materialize out of the armor. This looks to have been done with an orange transluscent material. It looks to attach/snap into place!


It's possible that the cosplay got hot to wear at some points given the color but to me it certainly looks comfortable to move around in! Alexis also does an incredible job in the posing department and must have had a blast wearing this cosplay. Hope you all enjoy the pictures I found for this :D
