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: Lyz Brickley's Warrior Fluttershy!

I have for you guys another beautiful cosplay from Katsucon! I'm sure you all remember cosplayer Lyz Brickley from previous features I've done on her. For the con, Lyz was part of a big My Little Pony Battle Armor group with various other cosplayers such as Chubear Cosplay and Joanna Mari to name a few. As for which pony she chose, Lyz went with Fluttershy and I can't even begin to say how much of a perfect match she is for the animal loving pony. For those unfamiliar to the show, Fluttershy is mainly the shy but sweet one. Even though I've never had the pleasure of formally meeting Lyz, from the pictures and videos I've seen of her, she's just absolutely adorable and has the cutest voice EVER! The cosplay itself was designed by one of the other members in the group and I'm somewhat reminded of Princess Leia's Slave bikini from Return of the Jedi.

The cosplay consists of a bright pink wig with yellow pony ears. Armor wise is a lone arm covering on her right arm along with pieces on her hip which connect and hold up her elegant lower dress. Despite the outfit not having much armor covering, I feel that it works for Fluttershy's character especially. Her weapon of choice is the bow and arrow. The bow looks to possibly resemble a tree/forest like nature with it's brown base and green vines covering the bow itself. The armor is tinted to be the classic gold shine that many are familiar with. If I remember correctly, the armor was made out of Worbla!

The skirt on the lower side as I mentioned before is very elegant like with pink in the front and yellow in the back. Again these are Fluttershy's colors so they work beautifully. The breastplate and hip armor have such a beautiful design within them plus there are beads/necklaces that hang off the chest in a curve like manner. There's also a headband that's seen with wings that are on the sides of her wig. Lyz poses so peaceful and stoic, which make the images look absolutely beautiful! I do hope you guys like the other pictures I have to share with you all!
