Omi Gibson as Gokico (by JUNNY)
So there’s this popular artist in Japan named JUNNY. And apparently, one of the characters in her gallery is this one named Gokico. I cannot find any images of this character; perhaps I’m looking on the wrong internet. For the first time, I’m faced with an amazing cosplay by a person I’m familiar with and it’s the source I can’t identify.
Regardless, Omi Gibson does it again. I can’t tell if she’s augmented her eyes to make them appear wider (possibly à la Eye Talk?) or if it’s my imagination. The natural look of her Asian eyes have never hindered her before, but maybe she’s trying something new.
But whatever… It’s Omi Gibson in a catsuit, and that means good times!

AmazonMandy as Jokergirl
It’s April Fools Day! Time to pay tribute to my favorite joker…THE Joker. Better still, a crossplay version of the clown prince[ss] brought to you by AmazonMandy.
AmazonMandy has a very naturally villainous grin; perfect for The Joker. Contrary to how that sounds, it doesn’t discount the sexiness in the slightest. She has a very healthy gallery of costumes (some which may make their way here in the future), including the only costume I’ve seen of Lady Amalthea from The Last Unicorn.
Oh, Seth Green… First Molotov Cocktease and now Jokergirl! You’re a straight up pimp, dawg!

Zalora as Cammy (Delta Red)
Zalora has a modest, but impressive gallery of costumes… The one that catches my eye the most (obviously) is her Delta Red Cammy from Street Fighter. What impresses me the most is that she’s one of the rare few that managed to get Cammy’s wild bang cowlick to look right!
She’s got the face, she’s got the physique, and best of all, she has the costuming talent to bring Cammy to life. Kudos, Zalora!

Francesca Dani as Princess Zelda
I can’t believe I’ve been doing this Cosplay of the Week thing for so long and I haven’t posted any thing by Francesca Dani. That might be because finding full galleries of her costumes is hard to come by, since access to that section of her homepage requires a credit card.
All the same, I managed to snag these shots of Francesca as Princess Zelda from her blog. The level of detail of her costume’s accessories, along with her fair Western features suit her well for the elfish Zelda.

Zettai Ryoiki as Sheryl Nome
Macross Frontier, while good, is no Macross Plus in my book. Nor can Sheryl Nome, while also good, hold a candle to Sharon Apple.
That said, Zettai Ryoiki does a fantastic portrayal of Sheryl in this week’s featured cosplay gallery. This is one of her concert outfits; possibly the most risque. But you’ll get no opposition to that by me. Though from the looks of the backdrop, I hope Sheryl’s able to book fancier gigs than this dive. Unless it’s just karaoke night..?

Omi Gibson IS Mikura from Mezzo Forte
Mezzo Forte, just like any anime woven by Yasuomi Umetsu, is crap that endeavors with furrowed brow to not be porn…but it is.
Nevertheless, Omi Gibson magically suits Umetsu’s unique art style, again realizing an entity borne of ink and paint. I don’t know how she does it, but I don’t make it a habit of asking uninteresting questions.

Igarashi Natsumi as Aisaka Taiga
Unfortunately, I don’t know much about Igarashi Natsumi, but she fits Toradora!‘s palmtop tiger like a glove. Aisaka is a difficult character to accurately cosplay, since she has a very specific look: Youthful, petite, and spunky. Natsumi, in these photos, has this nailed.

Hezachan as Faye Valentine
Hezachan, now world famous by her Longcat scarf, has recently completed her latest cosplay jewel: Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop. As you’d expect, the most challenging piece of any Faye Valentine costume it her vest, since in order to attractively conform to her body, it requires forces that are more mystical than mechanical.
Fortunately, Hezachan is quite magical.

Yaya Han in Yakuza Bodypaint
Holy hot sauce! Yaya Han may have outdone herself in one of her most recent photo shoots. She isn’t dressed as any specific character; she is simply a Yakuza tattoo girl.
Okay, it may be inappropriate to use the term “dressed” in this case. Aside from the robe, the only thing between Yaya’s skin and the open air is a layer of body paint. The design and application is by Nick Wolfe, who will now be referred as Lucky Ass McMoFo.
Did you notice: Her hair pins are butterflies.

Omi Gibson as Poison from 'Final Fight'
I know that there’s a popular theory regarding Poison’s…”politics”. However I maintain–in defiance of canon–that Poison was born a woman and has remained as such.
However, when brought to life by the lovely Omi Gibson, I may be more open to overlooking these minor details.
Final Fight is also a fun game. Just ask our podcast.
Let's not forget Poison's friend Roxy.
