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 Community Spotlight: NigriNation and MonikaNation on Instagram!

If it's one thing that makes me smile, is talking with other people who share a love for cosplay as well as having a deep admiration for some of the cosplayers that I look up to and admire. Such is the case with the 2 awesome girls that run the fan-pages NigriNation and MonikaNation on Instagram. Both involve posting pictures of Jessica and Monika several times a day, commenting on how they look and the picture itself. Seriously these girls are absolute sweethearts and the many pictures they post each day on them makes me smile, sometimes when I need it. NigriNation has been running a little bit longer and the pictures she'll find are most of the time ones I've never even seen of Jessica before, including one cosplay that I didn't even know she made (a Jolteon gijinka). The page for Monika involves pretty much the same thing and talking with her is just hilarious each time.

We gush on and on about how amazing the 2 of them are and how beautiful they look in pretty much 90% of their cosplays. It's nice for me to have people I can gush to and not be judged as a weirdo/creep since it's happened in the past unfortunately. I can't even begin to post the pictures they have up so instead I'll include links to their profiles so you can follow them/check them out if you want to. They both think I'm a sweetheart so that's always nice to hear. To the girls that run the pages, don't ever stop and keep running them. They put a smile on my face as they probably do to everyone else who follows them, you're awesome :D
