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: Chubear Cosplay's Lady Arthas!

For today, I wanted to show you the other half to the Stella Chuu/Chubear Cosplay duo with the latter! The cosplays that Olivia makes started getting my interest only about a month or two ago and she definitely brings in the badass along with the occasional derp. The cosplay I have is a gender-bend World of Warcraft character with the dreaded Lady Arthas! The outfit was created to match with Stella's Jaina Proudmoore! As such, Olivia wore this at Blizzcon this year in California! The cosplay was done with either foam or worbla for the armor construction! I am incredibly attracted to how the straps are done for the legs. Gives off that kind of shackled feeling, plus the rust/paint job for the armor pieces work so well!

For the wig, Olivia went with a long snow-white style which compliments the dark ice cold colors of the armor. The pauldrons are one of my favorite pieces along with the breastplate. The tiny skull pieces are a definite match to the real Arthas' design! Olivia also has an incredibly long and tattered cape extending all the way down to her feet. In some of the photos I have for you guys, there is also the addition to a small Ice Crown (SEE WHAT I DID THERE?) on her head.

Course you can't talk about an Arthas Menethil cosplay without mentioning the iconic FROSTMOURNE blade! It's incredibly well crafted and I appreciate the amount of work Olivia put into making this. The gauntlets were laced over leather gloves and there's also a small amount of fabric draped over between her legs. The effects added in some of the photos highlight the undead powers Arthas possesses. Though I wonder if this female form would last long in the cold reaches of Northrend? Fun fact, some of the pieces of this outfit were re-used for a Frozen/Arthas mash up cosplay (aptly titled Lich Queen Elsa)! I hope you guys enjoy the other pictures :)
