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 Showcase: Uncanny Megan is ADORABLE!

One cosplayer I had the absolute pleasure to finally meet at NYCC was Uncanny Megan! She was working with Artist Scott Blair over down in the Artist Alley. Having been following her work for awhile I was psyched to see which outfit she brought along and those were Phoenix from X-Men and casual on Sunday! If I had to describe her cosplay work it would mostly end up on the side of adorable and SO MUCH CUTENESS AHHH!! I mean just look at her Dark Magician girl above? The pose Megan makes is perfect! Most of her cosplays come from anime and comic books as I feel those are her main outlets to geek over. Megan has been cosplaying for a few years and I want to dive into the various outfits she's done for today. Possible interview in the future? I think she's down for it!!

As you'll see in the photos I have for you guys, Megan's primary loves are with the manga/anime Dragonball and X-Men! Although that hasn't stopped her from cosplaying DC girls like Supergirl and Harley Quinn! On the DBZ side, Megan has done various outfits of Bulma from a casual look to the bunny suit seen on the left! X-Men wise she's done Polaris, various versions of Jean Grey/Phoenix, and even male characters like Nightcrawler! I also recall Megan making a pretty awesome Beast Boy!

When it comes to posing, she really knows the character. Her Bulmas are happy and cheerful, whereas Phoenix looks intimidating. Megan also loves collecting toys and I imagine certain statues have had an impact in cosplay selection. We talked about NYCC exclusives when we saw her on Sunday and she expressed a desire to get an exclusive Vegeta statue from a vendor. She definitely enjoyed seeing the Nightwing statue I got :D

Not only is Megan a fantastic coslpayer, she's also really good at drawing! Seriously, in her spare time, Megan will go out and purchase comics with a plain white cover and draw on them. Afterwards she'll list them on Ebay for those who would be interested and I'll include a link to her site down below if you want to look! Meeting Megan was lots of fun and she was such a sweetheart! I hope I'll get to see her soon, for now enjoy the pictures I have for you guys!
