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: Siren Song Cosplay's Scarlet Witch!

"We're so back" & "It's so over" are pretty common sayings when it comes to new projects releasing under the MCU Banner. One thing that hasn't really change is the cosplay itch to portray the wealth of characters in the franchise. Whether it's the direct movie counterpart or original comic appearances. Especially today which you'll absolutely see starting next month with Marvel Rivals' launch, I think cosplays for these characters will hit a boom within this year & next. It's why for today, I wanted to talk about Siren Song Cosplay's rendition of Wanda's full Scarlet Witch persona she wields post-Wandavision. For starters, just like the name implies, deep scarlet red makes up the majority of the cosplay color scheme with black coming in for the pants area. I'm jumping ahead though. Let's do this properly right?

From the top, I genuinely can't tell (from the research/viewing I did) if Siren's hair is her natural look or an incredibly long wig. Whichever the case, it's got that deep autumn/orange shade going on with a lot of waves as you travel down towards the bottom. Placed on her face is Wanda's signature crown which has an intricate design and some small horn mimicry going on. The main body piece is interesting as the photos has me thinking it's just one singular piece.  

The middle chest area has a leathery like appearance to it with some line design drawn on it. Some black lines can be seen decorating the sides as it travels down towards the bottom. The piece has a long cape extending down from behind Siren. It looks also like a softer velvet side helps make up some parts as well. Both of her arms are fully covered with a little loop on each end separating her fingers. Speaking of, the fingers themselves are blacked out pretty good to signify Wanda's entanglements with the Darkhold. 




There's a silver/white buckle that's dead center around her waist before you get into the long black pants being worn. After that, you've got lengthy black heel boots for footwear. Setting wise, it looks like Siren and the photographers utilized an industrial like park/area with some showing off some construction debris in the background while others show Siren Song in front of some monument. I love the stances she makes and the final shot with her scream pose is perfect for the character. The added magical effect on some of the shots is a great touch too!
