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: Bethany Maddock's Killer Frost

If you've followed her work or checked out the interview I did with her awhile back, then it should be no secret that cosplayer Bethany Maddock absolutely adores Mortal Kombat and anything NetherRealm Studios puts out. Being also a lover of comics, Bethany loved their latest fighting game Injustice: Gods Among Us. Wanting to make a cosplay from it once she saw inspiration, she waited until a leak showed up of an image for one of the characters Killer Frost. While I do consider myself knowledgeable in DC Comic lore, Killer Frost was someone I've never heard of neither did Bethany. That didn't stop her from researching it though!

This cosplay was started after intense marathoning of Justice League Unlimited and she instantly fell in love with the character. The outfit itself was her first real test with the Worbla material (man that's been covered in a lot of cosplay features). I love the detail she put into the breast plate parts and the necklace. The fact that she also went above and beyond with applying make-up/spray to give her body a chilling blue color is something I admire of her immensely for doing. The wig was tweaked with small highlights of light blue to fully capture the essence of Killer Frost.

As you'll see in the other lovely pictures below the patterning on the armor is awesome and I love the poses Bethany makes. Definitely shows beauty with a dash of cold cunning! The blue fabric looks pretty and I lover the fur additions to the ends of the gloves and down near the end of the suit. I definitely should make a note of trying to see her at conventions more as I've only really talked with her once when she was Scorpion at PAX East last year! Enjoy guys :)
