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: Amie Lynn's Dragon Age: Inquisition Cosplays!


One of the biggest games of the year, Dragon Age: Inquisition, just came out last week. Of course this brings forth all the cosplayers out to make outfits based around the characters. Amie Lynn went the crazy route and didn't make just 1 but 3 cosplays based around the game. For this post I wanted to focus on 2 of them! Vivienne and a Female Varric, both of which look absolutely incredible. Add in the photos she got taken of them and this is truly some of Amie's best work. Vivienne was a collaboration project between her and Maise Designs Seamstress and just take a look at the photo above! I love pretty much everything about this cosplay. From what little I know about the Dragon Age series, Vivienne looks like to be an extremely regal/elegant character. The entire patterning of her dress and raised collar is just so exquisite!

The color scheme of black, gray and white mesh really well together throughout the cosplay. Vivienne's staff and horns look like to be done with the same material though I could be wrong. The headdress which wraps around the horns is also very beautiful! This is definitely the kind of outfit I imagine Amie crafting and I can see that she has an immense love and passion for the Dragon Age series. The photos are just crazy unbelievable as well! Saffels Photography did a beautiful job with the magic effects coming out of the staff.

For Amie's other cosplay Varrick, she had help from some of her friends with constructing this devious hunter. The crossbow looks incredibly badass and I love the leather going across and down her arms. By her photo captions and the look of the characters, I would guess that Varrick is a sort of womanizer of a character. Sly looks and a mischievous personality. The lone dirt mark on Amie's face is an awesome touch. Blue leather also dominates the cosplay. So much about this cosplay I want to get into but I feel like I wouldn't know where else to cover! The crossbow has an incredible finish in terms of the metal parts and paint.  Seriously it looks brand new and ready to take some people out! The leg armor also has an amazing shine to them. Like the photos of Vivienne,  Scott English and Saffels Photography did an amazing job creating them. Amie captures the personalities of these characters so well and this really ups her cosplay game immensely!
