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: Raychul Moore's Natalie Drake

For the 2nd Cosplay Feature this week I have the lovely Raychul Moore. Along with being an awesome video game journalist and running her own little channel on Youtube, she also makes some pretty sweet cosplays! Some of which are Rule 63/genderbent takes on well known male characters such as the one I'm showcasing today. Some of Raychul's favorite games of all time include the Bioshock franchise, God of War, the Mass Effect Trilogy (she loves Kaiden and Garrus!) and most of all the Uncharted games. Raychul loves Uncharted so much that she's deemed protagonist Nathan Drake to be her ultimate crush/husband. What better way to express her love for Nathan than to put a female spin on him?

This is a fairly simple cosplay that Raychul looks so gorgeous in! I definitely love the wig and how it looks on her. Despite it's simplicity, it's really the poses she makes that define the cosplay for her. Raychul definitely has the style for what makes Nathan Drake (or as she dubbed it Natalie Drake) such a badass character. The outdoor setting is also perfect. She uses a variety of weaponry from pistols to a shotgun and I love the belt buckle! Check out the other pictures I have of her cosplay :)
