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.

Black Cat is arguably one of the most common cosplays I see created amongst all the cosplayers I follow. In fact several ladies who have been featured on these days have done Black Cat at some point in their cosplay run. One of my favorites has to be Riki's version. Riki (who also goes by her FB page name Riddle) is another Atlanta based cosplayer who was also a part of the show Heroes Of Cosplay. She strives to be a professional prop maker which is definitely seen in some of her past outfits such as her HellGirl seen in the show.

What I love about her Black Cat not only stems from the fact that it's amazingly crafted but the photos taken of her in it definitely captures the essence of the character. These include her casually unzipping the corset as if she's going to relax, making seductive faces and just being plain sexy (yea I said it). All these things are definitely what comes to mind when I think Black Cat cause I imagine that's how she's supposed to act in the comics. Don't believe me? Take a look at the pictures I got for you to look at! Riki nails it so perfectly and I'm very much looking forward to more of her outfits, oh and I get to meet her at an upcoming convention this year so I'm very excited :D
