Halloween is right around the corner so I thought I would create a piece for the season. While its not spooky and scary related, I still have my Unity Trio, Eki and Nia dressing up in cosplay for the holiday.
Starting off we have Danny cosplaying Kengo Benimaru from ‘Yo-Kai Watch Y School Heroes’. I’m still kind of new to the series of ‘Yo-Kai Watch Y School Heroes’ but when I saw Kengo Benimaru, this hero form became one of my favourites (Next to Earth Walker and Shikkokumaru). I felt that he was the best fit for Danny as they both act around the same level of maturity and both use a sword/blade as their weapon of choice.
Danny worked pretty hard to get his cosplay to be as accurate as possible although he couldn’t get the skin tone accurate since he didn’t want to use too much face paint for it and that he lacked a way for the dual tails, his small dagger was his idea for compensating for the Reiken Danzetsumaru and he used temporary hair dye on the tips of his hair for the fur colour.
Next is Mich cosplaying as Blitzo from ‘Helluva Boss’. Yeah, I know ‘Helluva Boss’ can be a bit... Crude but Blitzo and Mich are similar as they both use guns and have some areas of their personalities that are alike. The difference is that Mich is better at communication in terms of his emotions and can take responsibilities for his actions, Blitzo has a bit to work on, but I know my favourite Imp will get there eventually.
There were some problems with Mich’s cosplay, but he just compensated a lot of it; The style of the jacket had to be altered and the style of the undershirt got in the way, so he went with a normal t-shirt. The face paint took some time, but he mostly focused on the natural markings/birthmarks and the scars since he really wanted to focus on those aspects.
Next is Riya cosplaying as Rosalina from the ‘Mario’ franchise. I did struggle with choosing who Riya would cosplay as but eventually I chose Rosalina since they’re pretty similar in terms of design and, in my headcannon, similar in personality.
Riya took a lot of time into getting her cosplay accurate despite her shyness of her shoulders showing (Hence why she is blushing a bit), she even got the wand made and slightly styled her hair a bit to better reflect Rosalina. The only she did not include was the crown but that was because she was worried that it would not stay on her head.
Next is Eki cosplaying as Cosmo from ‘Sonic X’. While I did struggle as well for Eki choice of cosplay, I eventually chose Cosmo from ‘Sonic X’ as I see them both a shy and sweet character who hold a lot of potential that is hidden deep within them.
The attire of Cosmo is close to Eki’s general style, so it was easy for her to get this pretty accurate. The only thing that was changed was the neck area to be a bit higher, not a drastic change was done.
Last but not least is Nia cosplaying as Randy Cunningham/The Ninja from ‘Randy Cunningham: 9Th Grade Ninja’. When it came to choosing who Nia was going to cosplay as, it was not hard for me to choose the Ninja known as Randy Cunningham since they are very alike, and I see them becoming good friends if they were to ever meet.
Nia’s cosplay for the Ninja suit is pretty accurate with some minor changes to the scarf and no inclusion of the hood as it would have made things harder for Nia to see (She has limited vision due to having to wear her eyepatch). She’s sticking to her human form since the Ninja is a human.
I had fun with drawing this since it allowed me to explore more with my characters and who they are like to other characters that I like.
Happy Halloween!
