Gyakuten Saiban 3: Auchi Takefumi

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

gyakuten saiban 3 / phoenix wright: ace attorney - trials and tribulations cosplay - auchi takefumi / winston payneThe "Rookie Killer" who enjoys mocking young attorneys to no avail, Auchi Takefumi is a prosecutor who generally starts the case strong, but if quickly demoralized when defense attorneys find holes in his evidence.

In the English version, his name is Winston Payne, which is a pun of “Wince in Pain”.

I miss playing the Gyakuten Saiban series and making Payne weep, haha! I’m still waiting for Miles’ game to come out early next year! It should prove to be very interesting to play the opposing team. But anyway, really great job on this cosplay! Thanks for sharing it!

Gundam Seed Destiny: Kira Yamato and Lacus Clyne

Monday, November 16th, 2009

gundam seed destiny cosplay - kira yaamto and lacus clyneKira was severely wounded in the war that had broken out on earth when he was brought to the Clyne Household. With the help of Lacus, her father Siegel Clyne, and their family friend Reverend Malchio, Kira recovers and they grant him safe haven in their home.

When word of the ZAFT’s forces’ plans to attack Earth Alliance base JOSH-A reaches them, Lacus provides Kira with a ZAFT uniform and helps him attain the ZGMF-X10A Freedom in order to help his friends who were still aboard Archangel. It was during this time that Lacus showed her support and affections to Kira by wishing him good fortune and giving him a kiss on the cheek.

Aren’t they cute? Admittedly, I prefer Athrun over Kira, but Kira and Lacus make a cute couple anyway! Thank you for sharing this!

Princess Tutu: Princess Tutu

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

princess tutu cosplay - princess tutuThe elegant and graceful dancer, Princess Tutu is Arima Ahiru’s alter ego who is  unselfishly in love with Prince Mytho. She is caught in a dilemma of saying her true feeling because if she is to confess to him, she will turn into a speck of light and vanish forever. Thus, she fulfills her duty and collects the shards of Mytho’s heart in order to give him true happiness.

Beautiful cosplay! I’m glad a real ballerina decided to cosplay her since I’m a huge fan of the series. I only wish there was a Rue or Mytho with her. Great job!

Sailor Moon S: Sailor Chibi Moon

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

sailor moon s cosplay - sailor chibi moonThe outgoing daughter of Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Chibi Moon dreams of becoming a beautiful lady one day. She is a perfectionist who prefers to do things alone so she can have her way. As the series progresses, she learns to open herself more, learning what true maturity really is.

I didn’t think anyone could get her hair to look quite that right. But I think I like her red eyes more than anything! Very convincing cosplay, and it even has Konata’s stamp of approval! Great work!

Xenosaga: KOS-MOS 02

xenosaga cosplay - kos-mos 02

Cosplayer Ilonka from Puerto Rico emailed me her cosplay photos some time ago. She plays KOS-MOS from Xenosaga, showing her version 4 skeleton. Some people might think this is version 2 or 3 because of the wings from her Tertiary Weapon System, but those were photoshoped into the final picture.

Thank you for your contribution, Ilonka! We look forward to more of your cosplays soon!

Bleach: Kurosaki Ichigo

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

bleach cosplay - kurosaki ichigoKurosaki Ichigo has natural orange hair that always gets him into fights with bullies. He doesn’t care what other people think about him and doesn’t seem to mind fighting bullies either. He met Chad when  they were still young, who was also a target for bullies because he refused to fight for his own sake as promised to his grandfather. Ichigo then decided to make a pact with him that they would fight for each other’s sake.

I couldn’t believe this was one of Jin’s works when I first saw it. She really does know how to take on the character she’s cosplaying, so much that it’s hard to tell it’s her! Great job, Jin!

Hellsing: Sir Integral Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

hellsing cosplay - sir integral fairbrook wingates hellsingAt the young age of 12, Integra inherited her family’s mission to the lead the Royal Protestant Knights and protect England due to her father’s death. Arthur Hellsing had hoped his brother, Richard Hellsing, would support his daughter in this mission, but his jealousy got the better of him and he proceeded to hunt Integra and kill her.

Little did he know that Arthur had a corpse of a vampire in the Mansion’s Sub Levels, Alucard, who became Integra’s salvation and servant.

Wow, she’s so intimidating! I guess Alucard making her wait doesn’t make her happy? The wig’s a bit messy, but I still like the overall look. Great work!
