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 Roundup: Finishing up Steampunk Nightwing and Greninja!

For the course of the past few weeks, I've been hard at work on my Greninja gijinka and Steampunk Nightwing. Much has been accomplished with the latter being finished and Greninja needing just his headpiece which requires Worbla to make so I'm saving up for buying 2 sheets. 1 outfit for NY Comic Con down, 2 more to go!

For the last part of Nightwing, I went and purchased a World War 2 Era leather hat alongside red leather paint. The process was fairly simple thanks to the tutorial I found online. The emblem isn't exactly dead set in the center but it's pretty damn close and I'm super happy with how it came out alongside the entire outfit being worn which you can see down below!

Meep Meep leather hat :D

Outfit complete!
For Greninja I managed to find pads for my elbows and knees at a sports store that came close to what I actually wanted. After having a fun conversation with one of the employees who was helping me out I definitely felt accomplished! I also went and bought blue fabric to cut out more ninja star shapes which will be probably taped onto the pants I'm wearing. Honestly I don't know what to do for his shoes so I may just either wear regular shoes or if anything, something that's blue.

White Pads!
