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: Microkitty Cosplay's Aqua!

I had only discovered MicroKitty Cosplay in the weeks leading up to PAX East this year. Of course this was the cosplay that did it for me, not to mention that she's a big Kingdom Hearts fan which made me go WOO! Here, she is cosplaying as Aqua, one of the main keyblade warriors in the PSP game Birth By Sleep. This was also her first attempt at making an iconic keyblade prop. I love how MicroKitty looks in the cosplay in general. The cosplay consists of Aqua's very sleek looking top which has pink straps coming up and over her chest. Underneath is the blue top with the black corset like piece covering the bottom area of the same top! I absolutely love her wrist guards as they are so spot on. They look to be created with the same material used for the keyblade!

Speaking of which, Emylee (her actual name) did an AMAZING job on her keyblade. It's just really unfortunate that it had mishaps and ended up breaking during the day she wore it to PAX! The light blue wig is perfect in both the shade and shape! Long white sleeves that almost cover her hands are also seen here. In the dead middle of the pink straps is a pendant in the shape of the Heartless Symbol. The picture on the left also shows her holding the star charm that Aqua made for herself, Terra and Ventus! The leggings/boots are also on point with the way the armor pieces are placed.

The poses have Emylee giving a bright smile as well as a soft composure which is exactly how Aqua is in the game. Very intelligent and caring of her friends. I would have loved to see her in person and actually get to meet her! Next time for sure and I'll try to wear my own Riku cosplay SO WE CAN TAKE AMAZING PICTURES :). I'm a sucker for Kingdom Hearts cosplays so this overall wins my heart over. I hope you guys enjoy the rest of the pictures!
