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: RiderCGA's King Daredevil!

Photo by Chazzy Baragiola

The combination of being snowed in from the blizzard this past week PLUS being hooked hard into Cyberpunk 2077 made this post about a day late. Apologies for the delay but let's get started! I came across RiderCGA's awesome Daredevil during my collection of MAGFest pics so this is probably the last one for that specific convention. As you'll see from the images I found, Rider has a really awesome look/take on the Man Without Fear. Further research indicates that this is known as King Daredevil and is the title Matt Murdock took during a run back in 2022! Starting from the top, you can see a lot of red and black went into this look for the character. The top includes a red hood that hides just about the top of the mask the character is well known for. Small peek at the horns too!

Other shots show Rider without the hood up and instead donning Matt's signature red circular glasses. Getting past the face area, you have twin red shoulder pieces that go into a long black shirt. It looks like this serves as the base since the middle section/chest is full on red with the double D emblem in black. I love how this piece has some cel-shading effects added in to give off that muscular look. Getting all the way up to the hands, you have a variety of black and red wraps before you get to the Billy Club weaponry or even the blind cane as you can see in the image on the left. Around Rider's waist, you can see a couple of red pouches as well.

I wasn't able to get any images that show off the footwear but judging by the pants, I have to guess that other red padding is involved with the main pants being black. Also serving as a base much like the shirt is. If you go look through Rider's Instagram, you'll find images of this cosplay that go into great detail of where each piece distinctly came from. Whether it was a commissioned prop piece, or a design file for the cosplay overall. Rider did a fantastic job at bringing each element together to create a badass cosplay.
