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: Joanna Mari's Wonder Woman!


For today I have another insanely talented cosplayer who I discovered in my searching spree of brand new people to show off! Joanna Mari is a Special FX artist who cosplays on the side. Some of her outfits like the one above are incredible. For NYCC this year, Joanna created an incredibly battle damaged Wonder Woman with a shield and blade. The cosplay was entered into the Eastern Cosplay Championships at the convention and was well received. The outfit has Diana's signature leotard that's red and blue with stars along the bottom. Laced on the red part is the chest plated design! It looks to be made with the same material that most of her other armor was created with which was Worbla.


The armor pieces and shield are weathered down to match the look of Wonder Woman having just been in an epic battle. Looking at her WIP photos, Joanna did an amazing job with covering the pieces with gesso and layering down the intricate designs that the armor is shown with. The make up and effects she placed on her body are absolutely amazing and life like! Wouldn't expect anything less considering she's skilled in FX makeup! The poses in some of the photos like the one above match Diana's nature of being a strong willed female. There aren't too many pics I have for you guys but you should definitely check out her page for her WIP pictures :D. I wish I was able to find her at RICC a few weeks ago, but I'm definitely keeping an eye on more of her incredible cosplay work!
