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: Bodacious Cosplay's Medieval Deku!

I feel that as long as cosplay is around, mashups will be a staple for every character that's been created and is ripe for the portrayal. Whether it's the various gijinkas of animal like characters, to combining franchises with each other like Disney and Star Wars. All forms of media are pretty much subjected to this case and anime is certainly not a stranger. Today, I have the marvelous Bodacious Cosplay as the incredibly lovable Deku from My Hero Academia. The spin on the character taken imagines Deku as part of a larger medieval world. What does that entail exactly? A simple outfit with callbacks to the hero's main color scheme of green and white.

There has been some official like art of this alternate version of Deku so what exactly does the cosplay consist of? As I mentioned, the top piece matches the green of the character. Mainly a green vest on top of a white dress shirt. Gloves cover Brandon's hands and weapon wise, you can see a simple sword act as a prop. The sword is a basic design with the colors being mostly grey. It's scabbard can be seen hanging off the hip alongside the blue jeans.

There are also several pouches hanging in this general area, I have to wonder if one of them houses Deku's hero journal/notebook! The wig is a bright shade of green with a variety of spikes sticking out, it's a great match for the holder of One for All! All the photos are taken outdoors and I couldn't think of a better scenery for this. The way the sunlight hits in some of the pics matches Deku's overall optimism in the show. Plus, Brandon does an absolutely wonderful job in posing, some of those sword shots look BADASS :D.
