Neen The Kitchen Magician's Paintress!

The Paintress' overall design in Expedition 33 is both fascinating and yet haunting. As the sole force behind vanishing off people every year, she's become one of few antagonists in the game. Course, through the game's lifespan in cosplay, people mostly tackle the main members of the core Expedition. Whether it's in the traditional uniforms, other alternate costumes or the iconic Baguette outfits. So it's been a real treat to see Neen The Kitchen Magician do a phenomenal job in bringing The Paintress to life. The full outfit is black from head to toe. You have a gown like piece at the bottom with it flowing mostly in the back. It does look like both the bottom and top pieces are segmented into like a long sleeve shirt and long pants. But being full pitch black does give some shots a sense that it's all connected. That even includes the face area which one pic does show that yep, Neen is able to see out of it.

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!
