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.

Cosplay Feature: Spencer Doe as Knuckles the Echidna!

For today's cosplay feature I want to showcase another awesome male cosplayer named Spencer Doe. Spencer alongside his partner in crime Nicole Marie Jean (who has been featured before) is mostly known by his nickname as The God Damned Batman. This is because most of his cosplays are versions of Batman's iconic suit from the Nolan movies to the Arkham games. However rather focusing on Batman I actually want to show off his humanoid version of Knuckles the Echidna from Sonic. Along with Nicole who dressed as Sonic, this cosplay was made for PAX East 2013 and was actually the first time I met them!

Spencer as Knuckles and Nicole as Sonic

The cosplay itself is a one piece red suit in which Spencer looks very muscular. The shoes were messed around to match how they look on Knuckles. I definitely love the way the wig was styled and the added sunglasses was a nice touch. I was anticipating to match with them at that convention with my Shadow gijinka which I had debuted at PAX East but they unfortunately wore them a different day and I had only gotten a pass for one day. The gloves are huge with spikes attached to them and it definitely works!

The poses they both make definitely capture the friendship/rivalry that both Sonic and Knuckles had. I also can tell from their in progress posts on the outfits that they both had a lot of fun making the cosplays and even more fun wearing them! I'm hoping to maybe match with my Shadow one day, just a matter of planning :D. I also plan on interviewing them one day (I PROMISE) as well so fingers crossed! Enjoy the photos I have to share.
