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!

Ouran High School Host Club: Fujioka Haruhi and Ootori Kyouya

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

ouran high school host club cosplay - fujioka haruhi and ootori kyouya

The “Natural Type” and the “Cool Type” may not always meet eye to eye, but despite Kyouya’s harsh actions towards Haruhi, he truly does care about her as she does him. When the club went to the beach for some rest and relaxation, Kyouya pretended to be the “bad guy” in order to show Haruhi how worried everyone was about her.

This is so in character that it really makes me laugh! Mother is reprimanding her youngest child! But don’t tell Kyouya that, he might charge me for posting this picture. Haha! Great work!

Sailor Stars: Princess Kakyuu

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

sailor stars cosplay - princess kakyuuThe princess of Kinmoku who escaped to earth when Sailor Galaxia attacked, Princess Kakyuu is said to smell of sweet osmanthus, which is the recurring motif of her design. There are different versions with regards to her storyline in the anime and manga, but she is similar to Sailor Moon as she also has her own senshi, the Sailor Starlights.

The cosplayer looks like a doll in this photo. I’m guessing proper make-up and lighting gave that effect. Beautiful work!

Paradise Kiss: Sakurada Miwako

Monday, October 26th, 2009

paradise kiss cosplay - sakurada miwakoUnbelievably sweet and cute, Miwako is the younger sister of Kousa Mikako, the antagonist from the author’s other series, “Gokinjo Monogatari”. She works with Koizumi Joji to create their own brand known as Paradise Kiss. She tends to be childish in her unique manner of speaking and her choice of lolita dresses.

This is just too cute, and so much like Miwako. Too bad we can’t see her face with this pose. Great work!

Vampire Knight: Kurenai Maria and Yuki Cross

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

vampire knight cosplay - kurenai maria and yuki crossA distant relative of Hio Shizuka, Maria acted as her vessel when she infiltrated Cross Academy. Once there, she told Yuki she had the secret to keep Zero from falling into level E, and in order to gain that secret, she must do one of two things: sacrifice herself, or kill Kuran Kaname.

You can probably guess what Yuki chooses in this photo. Both of them have really well-made dresses too, but didn’t Yuki give that rose on her choker to Zero? Great work still! Thank you for uploading this!
