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: Vampy Bit Me's Samus Aran!

Today I wanted to feature the awesomeness that is Linda Le otherwise known as Vampy Bit Me on her page! The last time I featured her was with her second Rule 63 of Nightwing in his New 52 uniform. Last year, Vampy decided to take on one of the most iconic Video Game heroines ever created with Samus Aran. Not only did she craft an incredible Zero Suit, but she also made a little Metroid prop that you'll see in the photos down below! The suit itself is made out of spandex (looks like it anyway) with the pink designs that she has on the suit. The wig also looks incredible and I have to say, I really like Vampy as a blonde.


The process it took to create the Metroid prop is a bit more complicated and I can't remember exactly how she made it with what materials but I'm sure you can look around to find a write up she possibly did on making it? Vampy also created several more Metroids to sell off to people who were lucky enough to have the funds for. It's the photos here that really shine with amazing Photoshop manipulation, plus the outfit was used in a series of photos in a project known as The Wild Places which was created by cosplay photographer Anna Fischer. The project basically involved her and certain well known cosplayers traveling around the country to incredible areas to take breath-taking photos.

Vampy also created a second Samus cosplay known as the Justin Bailey outfit (I'm not too familiar with this one but it involves some kind of code created back in the early 90's for one of the games.) This outfit has Vampy sporting a green wig with boots and a one piece pink leotard as well as the famous Arm Cannon attached to one arm. This outfit was also a part of The Wild Places project. Just take a look at the photos down below and see how amazing this came out :D
