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: Leanna Vamp's Lara Croft!


For today I have the last cosplayer I was recommended to check out during NYCC! Her name is LeeAnna Vamp and man is she definitely the mischievous type. One genre she admires is horror so she markets herself as "The Ghoul of Your Dreams" on her Facebook page but she's not limited by that as her only outlet of cosplay! She's done various gender-bends such as Han Solo, Boba Fett alongside of course female versions of Freddy from Nightmare on Elm Street and Ash from Army of Darkness. Today however, I've got LeeAnna as the iconic video game heroine Lara Croft from Tomb Raider! The outfit chosen is I believe from the Tomb Raider movies and Tomb Raider: Underworld (unless that was a movie title in which case I apologize). The outfit is similar to Monika Lee's version yet LeeAnna really shows off her facial expressions here.

The outfit consists of a dark brown tank top and booty shorts. Various straps are shown across the outfit for Lara's necessary equipment including holsters on her legs for the 2 guns you see above! Leather gloves are also present which adds in the badass look that LeeAnna is trying to capture here. Can't forget about the black combat boots too! Yup she definitely looks like someone I would not want to mess with! There's also a backpack shown which is a staple element for Lara. I really like the photo quality of the shots as they give off that Hollywood vibe! Plus she has the perfect hair for Lara! I feel bad that I wasn't able to make time to introduce myself to LeeAnna at NYCC, she was over at the Artist Alley. She's definitely the kind of person who seems to be incredibly sweet! I hope you guys enjoy the pictures below and I plan to feature more of her work! Interview perhaps? We'll have to see :)
