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: OhMySophii's Paine!

 


Cosplayer OhMySophii always creates some fantastical cosplays when she's not being the social media savvy wizard that I've come to know her as throughout the years. In searching for more outfits of hers to share, I came across her Paine from Final Fantasy X-2 and GOD DAMN THAT WIG <3. So yea, that's what led me to talk about this for you all today! Black with some shiny metal like pieces make up the whole of the cosplay when it comes to the color scheme. Starting with the top piece, you have some dark red straps over her shoulders before getting into said piece. There's a small portion of black before you enter that silvery section which actually goes into covering parts of her arm. This overall piece looks more so like a crop top with it being fastened slightly off center as it was done so in the original design. The red straps continue down through her torso as well and eventually the straps meet at the waist for the belt.

Said belts are also decorated with a variety of skull buckles to match Paine's motif. You've also got small black gloves as well as leg coverings which lead into some striking tall heel boots. Part of her kneecap is also covered in an interesting design with some awkwardness. Course that's only because some of the designs for FFX/X-2 are a bit out there XD. As I mentioned at the top of the post, Sophii has an absolutely killer wig going on done in a smokey grey color. Hair strands are poking out towards the front and I'm seriously in love with the whole look. 

Sophii's weapon prop isn't as large as it looks in game but it's certainly spot on! Small in size so that it's easy to carry, you've got a red handle followed by the blade. The bottom of which has a circular design with a skull in the center. Following this, the blade curves down very nicely. The coloring and bevel effects is super on point. Alongside Termina Cosplay as Rikku, Sophii does a marvelous job posing solo and in duo shots. The photos are also stunning, done and edited as if they were at Besaid from the game. Seriously check these out :)


Sophii did say she'd send me more shots to share with you all so stay tuned for this post being updated! Also heads up there may be a lack of posts at some points due to how the cosplay community is right now with the current pandemic affecting convention lifestyle. Be sure to also support Sophii on her Patreon cause SHE'S SO RAD <3.
