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: Banshee Cosplay's Jason Todd/Red Hood!

Photo by SteamKittens

Whenever I click on Banshee Cosplay's stories over on Instagram, there's a solid 90% chance it's her sharing/fangirling over the iconic Batman/Catwoman relationship. So it's not that far of a stretch for today that I'm sharing their gender bend on Jason Todd/Red Hood. When looking at the photos, the overall cosplay remains the same with slight variations on her hairstyle. With getting into it, Banshee has of course either a small cut on the wig or the longer style with the small white highlight embedded into it. They both fit super well for the cosplay overall. Banshee is also rocking a short brown leather-esque coat as its outer-wear. You also have black fingerless gloves decorating her hands too. The main portion of the cosplay though definitely is the leotard piece that's emblazoned with Red Hood's variation of the bat symbol.

For the main section, you have a full black display with some white lines being seen all around it. It also looks like armor pieces placed on top of a leotard base. I like how the bat symbol is painted over the zipper that travels down (I think?) the middle of this piece. Then you have a belt wrapped around her waist with the same symbol looking like a buckle smacked dab in the middle. The belt also has various strap attachments which travels down Banshee's legs 

The straps eventually lead to small holsters which have prop guns inserted in. Can definitely see Jason having way too many weapons hidden god knows where on his body XD. One of the shots I found of this cosplay also has Banshee holding on to Red Hood's iconic mask. Whether or not it's wearable or another prop for the cosplay is unknown to me. Regardless, the paint job is insanely smooth and I love how the eye pieces look. I also wanted to quickly mention the many zippers that Banshee's jacket has from her sleeves to buttoned up pockets down the sides.

I also love the poses that Banshee emulates in the photos you see throughout this post. She captures Jason's confidence in addition to the smirk little smiles he's known to flash (I'm assuming, I don't read a lot of Red Hood comics. NIGHTWING FOREVER). Take a look at the other shots down below!
