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: Bodacious Cosplay's Medieval Deku!

Photo by Lou Carrion Photography

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.
