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: Li Kovacs loves The Legend of Zelda.


No that's not a promotional image for the 3DS Remake for Ocarina of Time but it sure as hell could be one right? Today I wanted to feature cosplayer Li Kovacs and her undying love for The Legend of Zelda. Mostly she's been able to work alongside Nintendo promoting their games through her cosplays, these include various versions of Link and Pit from Kid Icarus: Uprising. This has also led her to meet some influential figures in the company such as Reggie Fiis-Amie, Eji Anouma, Shigeru Miyamoto, you know...those guys :).

Li has an impeccable eye for detail that makes her practically the spitting image of a real life Link. From the patterns on the tunic and gloves to the way the Hylian Shield and Master Sword look, really I just absolutely love the work she puts out. The various versions of Link (which you can see below) are also a nice touch as Li isn't afraid to do something other than the classic look Link's been known for. Each outfit has its own distinct look and feel and the backgrounds for each photo just compliments the outfit in a unique way. The way the blonde wig looks along with the elf ears is also awesome! Li even has the Ocarina seen above!

It wasn't long after I started following that I realized she was at my very first convention I attended (PAX East 2012). It looked like she was hired by Nintendo to promote the upcoming release to Kid Icarus Uprising, and while I did take pictures they came out downright awful so I got rid of them haha.
