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: Lindsay Elyse's Rule 63 Sora!


I loved meeting cosplayer Lindsay Elyse at PAX East this year for several reasons. One is that she's crazy beautiful and I loved talking with her about cosplay and video games along with sharing with her my cosplay progress on Riku's keyblade (which she loved and I can't wait to show her the final product). The other reason is that she loves Kingdom Hearts pretty much the same way I do. Not only do we enjoy the story and characters but the series also led to us discovering the Final Fantasy franchise and subsequently falling in love with that franchise as well. So you can imagine how excited I was to see when Lindsay did a Rule 63 Sora, it just looks so freaking awesome! The fabric and zippers look spot on and the blue tank top fits her so perfectly :D.


It was super sweet of Lindsay to include one of her Sora prints as a freebie for me so I had to draw this cosplay for her as a thank you gift. The keyblade was done with help from Jessica Nigri and I can't tell if it's made out of foam or wood but it's definitely one of those two options. The detailing and paint job on the blade looks awesome just like the Oblivion. The necklace looks super pretty here also. The way Lindsay portrays Sora in the shots is the perfect blend of confidence and of course goofy. I DEFINITELY want to see this in person one day, maybe when I wear Riku so we can match and take badass photos? Pretty please Lindsay? :) Enjoy guys!
