Neen The Kitchen Magician's Paintress!

The Paintress' overall design in Expedition 33 is both fascinating and yet haunting. As the sole force behind vanishing off people every year, she's become one of few antagonists in the game. Course, through the game's lifespan in cosplay, people mostly tackle the main members of the core Expedition. Whether it's in the traditional uniforms, other alternate costumes or the iconic Baguette outfits. So it's been a real treat to see Neen The Kitchen Magician do a phenomenal job in bringing The Paintress to life. The full outfit is black from head to toe. You have a gown like piece at the bottom with it flowing mostly in the back. It does look like both the bottom and top pieces are segmented into like a long sleeve shirt and long pants. But being full pitch black does give some shots a sense that it's all connected. That even includes the face area which one pic does show that yep, Neen is able to see out of it.

Cosplayer Video Interview: Riddle's Messy Wardrobe at RICC 2013

For this week I want to share with you guys the awesome video interview I did last weekend at Rhode Island Comic Con. I was able to interview Riki LeCotey or as she is otherwise known as Riddle's Messy Wardrobe from her fanpage. The interview went pretty much the same way as my previous one back at NYCC where I asked her several questions regarding cosplay and how she uses it. You may remember her from a past blog post where I did a cosplay feature on her Black Cat, or you may recognize her from the SyFy series "Heroes of Cosplay". I've been following her work for some time and always hoped of meeting her so I was as you could imagine very excited.

Riddle is another Atlanta-based cosplayer who's been cosplaying for several years. Along with other cosplayers like Monika and Yaya, she was also a part of the show "Heroes of Cosplay" showcasing her Hellgirl, Rocketeer and Alice cosplays throughout the show's run. She hopes to one day be a part of the prop making business for movies and entertainment (from what I remember from the show, I believe I have it right). I do hope you all enjoy the interview, I'm still getting used to adding to the conversation for each question asked but I'm more than happy with how this came out.

I want to thank Riddle so so much for giving me the opportunity to interview her. She also gave me lots of good advice regarding my next cosplay I'm hoping to start next year for my next convention. I hope I am able to see her again soon! To follow Riddle's work you can check out the following links:
