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.

Photography Spotlight: Darshelle Stevens!

Model: Lyz Brickley
I managed to meet one of my all-time favorite photographers at NYCC this year! If you've been following lots of cosplayers on Social Media, chances are you've seen really incredible photos that involve lots of awesome colors. Darshelle Stevens is based in California and has been doing photography for about 3+ years. While also available for doing weddings, it's her cosplay photos that I enjoy the most. Her work is similar in some aspects to Martin Wong who I featured a long time ago. This is mostly due to all the pretty colors that they both use. What Darshelle also does is add in crazy effects to really make the photos pop! I've got some of my favorite photos she's done so I hope you guys won't mind me gushing over them :).


Cosplayers: Liz Brickley, Jessica Nigri
For example, the photo on the right involves a combination of blue, pink and purple as well as smoke/fog covering Jessica mainly. Adding in her bombs for Ziggs, the picture becomes a crazy photo of two equally insane League of Legends Characters. The colors remind me of cotton candy :D. Each of Darshelle's pictures utilize the colors that are prominent in the cosplayer's outfit. This is shown with Ryan Cryptic's Handsome Jack from Borderlands The PreSequel, or the totally epic gender-bend Sephiroth by Mythic Roots Design and Cosplay!

I should also mention that Darshelle herself is pretty awesome at cosplay! She made an Angel cosplay from Borderlands 2 as part of a special event done by 2K and Gearbox! Paint splatters, snowy fields, cosmic background, all of these can be found in Darshelle's pictures and they're pretty epic! Don't believe me? CHECK THESE OUT :D
