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: Nathan DeLuca's Kaidan Alenko


I hope you guys are prepared for a truly badass cosplayer for today. I only came across him in the past month through other cosplayers! Once I looked through his portfolio of work I was immediately on board. Meet Nathan DeLuca, a Canadian cosplayer who creates some really incredible armor based cosplays. The outfit you see above is Kaidan Alenko from the Mass Effect series! I have a particular liking to Nathan's cosplay on account of also having Kaidan survive through till the final game in Shepard's trilogy. The entirety of the outfit was done with EVA foam and it's definitely a material Nathan is comfortable working with. I really do love the paint job on the armor pieces as it makes it look more authentic along with the weathering details. Looking at the pictures from this cosplay's photoshoot and I'm just in awe of how amazing it looks.

In addition I'm also extremely intimidated for my own future cosplays because I'm nowhere near as talented as Nathan XD. Majority of the pieces for his Kaidan are strapped on a black full body suit I'm guessing? The amount of time it takes for him to take off and put on the outfit must be a pretty good deal, that is of course he found some way to speed up the process! The rifle Nathan is using was also done by him so he's also got prop weapon skills to go along with his amazing cosplay skill set. I really like how his hair look as well since it matches up Kaidan's look. Not gonna lie he's good looking, so any of my female readers might want to keep an eye on him ^^.

The photoshoot Nathan had with Shaun is just too good and I love how the photos came out in the end. Nathan also does one hell of a Nightwing so that's an automatic win in my book! I hope I'm able to interview him for you guys sometime later this year so be on the lookout for that maybe? Until then have a look at some of the other pictures of Nathan's Kaidan!
