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: Lisa Lou Who's Officer Vi!

Finishing off my PAX East related cosplay features is of course Lisa Lou Who's Officer Vi from League of Legends. Now please note I'm not that big a fan of the game itself and quite possibly will never understand it's popularity (my excuse is played the game once and hated it) but, it's given many cosplayers ways to create these amazing outfits the characters wear in the game. Lisa's is no exception, I really enjoyed the progress pictures and short videos she was posting up on her social media sites and my god she looked fantastic!! It was definitely exciting to learn that she was going to debut this outfit on the day I was attending so again I'm really glad I was able to find her.

Now if you gave this a first glance without seeing those massive gauntlets added on you would think oh this is just a "Sexy Police Officer" costume you would find at a party store/halloween costume store. Definitely isn't the case since the gauntlets, hair and various other parts make the outfit. Yup those police lights on her hands do in fact light up and the video she posted showcasing that was so cool! The gloves themselves if I remember correctly were made with foam and unfortunately Lisa was unable to make it that her fingers could be movable so that's an improvement she would like to make next time!

The blur fabric is very bright and it's low cut on the chest with a black bra front and showing off her stomach. I'm happy I was able to contain the excitement I had when seeing the outfit. You looked so beautiful in it Lisa!! :D The boots are her own and they're very tall and other police-like items are included such as handcuffs, a big hat with an even bigger badge on top, the number 6 drawn on her chest and the badge (referencing her unit number? Again not up to speed on LoL characters) and buttons on her top. The wig is a shade of hot pink and it's definitely Lisa's style having seen various other pictures she's uploaded with her real hair look (which is awesome). The pictures I've got to share with you all are just unbelievably colorful and amazing. I've got a gut feeling that one of these pics will be available as prints and you know damn well I'm picking one up :D.

I think I pretty much covered everything so I apologize if this is longer than the usual cosplay features I've done. I just really really love this cosplay of Lisa's. Definite favorite ^^. Enjoy the pics guys!
