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: Making ALL THE THINGS

Over the past week, I've been putting out lots of cosplay progress photos for both Steampunk Nightwing and my Greninja Cosplay. As I mentioned yesterday I have a feeling that I can get these outfits pretty much done over the summer. I have about 5 items to buy with 4 of them already in my sights/I know where to get them.

The beginning of the week had me constructing and painting Ninja Stars for Greninja as his signature move is known as Water Shuriken. You can see the process below in the pictures as I primed and sanded them down with the final addition of Blue Acrylic. It was very time consuming as after I had done the initial build, I found more Worbla scraps that were much smoother therefore made for better material and overall a much cleaner look.

Final Look!


Here's how everything looks so far!

On Thursday my Steampunk Goggles came in. I traced out the goggles again on Worbla and created an outline to place on the silver outline that's around the lenses. On each end I made the sides as they look on Nightwing's Mask. After careful painting and cleaning, I'm really satisfied with how they came out. Now I just need to be careful walking around
