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 Progress: Pokemon Gijinka!

One of my upcoming cosplays is another gijinka this time based around Pokemon. Seeing Jessica Nigri's latest "PokePenthouse" set of cosplays finally gave me the drive and motivation to start it up. The Pokemon I have chosen is Greninja from the latest games X/Y. He is the final evolution of the Water starter Froakie and just looks like all sorts of badass. In actuality I've made quite a bit of progress with only needing to buy several things and using items from my home, you can check out the sketch I drew out below!

My rough sketch

So far I have the jacket I will be wearing and I figure there's a scarf in my house somewhere which will work. The white spots will be kneepads/elbowpads thanks to a suggestion from my friend. A pale yellow-ish shirt would probably be best and I would just wear blue pants. For his prop I've been hard at work making Ninja Stars out of Worbla since Greninja's signature move is called "Water Shruiken". It was a long process of actually redoing them for a smoother shape/look. Right now I'm painting the hell out of them with adding coats of white acrylic then blue. I then have to decide if that's good enough or should I try something to make it appear with a water like texture. I'm moving along pretty well with this project and I can't wait to debut it!

Redid the Ninja Stars so they're a lot smoother
