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 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


Draft of the emblem on Tracing Paper. Perfect size!

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!
