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: Yaya Han's Batgirl!


The minute I found out that Yaya Han was creating Batgirl, I was overly excited to see the final result. Is my favoritism for DC showing? Sorry but this cosplay looks incredible! The armor definitely has that comic book look, hell even from a movie and the red/orange hair looks beautiful on her! The cowl was commissioned by sculptor Reevzfx (who makes awesome stuff by the way!) with everything else being handled by Yaya. Now most of the stuff I'm gonna mention about how this was constructed can be found on her Facebook page so it'll at least be shortened down so it's not completely long :). For starters, the armor was created with plastic and urethane rubber then painted with tons of black!

The under-suit was fashioned with pleather all patterned and the boot covers, gloves and cape were made with a matching material but all in a pretty gold color scheme!  The cape is black on the inside and according to Yaya, swooshes alot! The gauntlets were done with Worbla and foam and the gloves were created from scratch! Pretty much pleather was used on everything except the armor. The setting and poses Yaya makes in the pictures below are amazing and definitely fitting for Batgirl. This is definitely one cosplay I would love to see in person at a convention one day. Just look at those battle stances :D. Enjoy the pictures guys!
