Morrigan Aensland Cosplay — Neon Studio Succubus, Photo 2

Balanced on one leg, the other lifted high with the sole of the boot turned to the lens, Morrigan Aensland stretches both arms wide and pulls her wings open to their full span. The camera sits well below her, so the chunky lace-up boot with its thick lug sole swells in the foreground and becomes the focal point of the full-length frame.

Her chin is lifted and she looks down at the camera, which makes the pose read as almost airborne. Behind her is a smooth pale cyclorama washed in pink, violet and blue and crossed by diagonal warning tape, and the cool light traces gradients across the glossy bodysuit.

In Darkstalkers the succubus's wings reshape into weapons when she fights; here they are simply held as wide open as they will go.
