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: Monika Lee's Demon Hunter!

I was checking my folder of completed/posted Cosplay Features done so far and apparently I've never done one for a specific outfit that cosplayer Monika Lee made. So I decided to fix that by showing here one of her latest outfits she made which is just so freaking amazing it makes me make this face 0_0. I've mentioned before how big into Blizzard games Monika is so her latest cosplay was a Demon Hunter from Diablo 3. The cosplay was made for Blizzcon which happened a few weeks ago!

Look at all that armor! The entire outfit except for the hood was made with Worbla material. I can't remember if I've mentioned that material on here so I'll quickly explain how awesome it is. Worbla is a thermoplastic from Germany that is mainly used in cosplay for masks, armor, props, all the heavy duty stuff. When you heat it with either a heat gun or a hair dryer, it becomes moldable and hardens very quick. I love especially the progress pictures that Monika posted on Twitter which showed how the outfit came together. With her wearing the initial pieces all formed, then the addition of paint brought it all together. The hood also is lined with Worbla alongside the top. The corset section covering her torso looks like to be made from leather and it looks so cool!

Seriously I need to make a note to ask her about how she did all this next time I see her :). I included some progress photos she posted so you can see the amount of hard work and detail she put in the outfit. The professional photos also look great! I'm also digging the crossbow she had for it as well. Much like her Diablo 3 Wizard and Blackbeard from Assassin's Creed 4, Monika absolutely has alot of love for who she cosplays as and it's definitely shown in each end result. If you ever read this Monika, STOP BEING SO DANG AWESOME (nahh keep at it :D). Enjoy the other photos I have to share!
