Cosplay Feature: Renee4Atlanta's Ironheart!

Happy Halloween to you all! To end this month of features, I wanted to share this INCREDIBLE work by Renee4Atlanta that she helped create and wore at this past Dragon*Con not too long ago. Coming off of Ironheart's debut series, Renee took on the task to recreate the updated look and man is it intense! When you look at the photos, you can first find that of course Renee has a more comfy layer of clothing which the armor pieces are layered on top. From the top, Renee has the iconic Iron Man helmet which is colored red for the outer shell and the mask being a shiny silver shade. From the photos I did find, I don't know if the mask can actually come down or if Renee made this to showcase an open look. Getting down to the rest, you can see how some of the armor is segmented off/layered. Red looks to make up a good chunk of the outer layer whereas the inner portions are silver.

Cosplay Feature: Yaya Han's Chun-Li

It make me very happy to dedicate this weeks Cosplay Feature to the incredible and supportive Yaya Han! Yaya has been cosplaying for nearly a decade and is one of the very few who is able to have cosplay as an actual business. Specifically she handles little accessories such as Pegasus wings and pony/cat ears. She is also a huge advocate for bringing positivity in the cosplay community. This is done by not only making many convention trips to see her fans but she also hosts cosplay panels which discuss the basics of getting into cosplay and the Sociology behind it! Having the pleasure of meeting her at this past Boston Comic Con was a highlight for me as she was incredibly nice and loved my own cosplay despite the malfunctions it had.

Now for her outfit, it was tough choosing which one due to her wide variety of outfits and the fact that I have multiple favorites of hers. After looking through her many albums, I decided that her Chun-Li was amazing that I had to write about it. This Chun-Li if you've noticed isn't based off the regular video game design. The style here is Art Noveau and the outfit was designed by Razvan-Sedekiah. Everything about this outfit I love, from the ruffled like fabric on her shoulders to the intricate embroidery on her corset piece. The wrist cuffs are awesome and the boots are well-crafted. Although I expect nothing less considering the amount of talent Yaya has gathered from years of practice. Below are some more photos of this amazing cosplay and I definitely am looking forward to seeing her again this year!
