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.

Why She's my Favorite: Katyuska Moonfox

It's no secret that I've got a big infatuation with Australian cosplayers this year. So it shouldn't be a surprise when I say that Katyuska Moonfox has become one of my all time favorite cosplayers as well. We have interacted initially here and there on her FB page but things really didn't start to kick up until last year when I saw that she started following my Twitter activities. Along with her telling me out of the blue one day that she loves my cosplays as well as the support I give her and many other girls. That moment is pretty much embedded into my brain as an awesome memory <3. As to how I found Katyuska, that's pretty much thanks to her Tifa Lockheart cosplay she did a few years back.

What makes her so inspiring to me is how much hard work she puts into her outfits. Not to mention the fact that she manages to look exactly like the character with her figure as well. Quickly going to say, Katyuska is beautiful beyond belief :). She has such a sweet personality even if she is into very crazy things. Some of which are hilarious, I challenge you guys to visit her Tumblr site. That should give you a pretty good idea of what she's into. Katyuska is also a very talented writer and runs her own little blog on this platform. Her most recent one being so powerful since it connected with me in so many ways!

I always found myself in complete shock of all the photos she posts. Both shots of her in a full outfit, and the cute 3 picture shot of outfits she's currently working on. A few weeks ago she gave a peek at her finished Black Widow cosplay for a convention she had already attended (by the time this post goes live anyway). SHE LOOKS AMAZING! I still feel unworthy of her following my work but it always makes me smile. Other amazing cosplays she's done include Scarlett from Killer is Dead, Stocking of Panty & Stocking, Nana from the disturbing ME!ME!ME! video and many more.

Her forte seems to be more towards anime and video games since she expressed how she rarely does comic book characters and hopes her Black Widow will do well. Katyuska I can definitely say that you looked gorgeous <3. I want to say so much more about this incredibly sweet cosplayer and how much she inspires me but I think I covered everything. Crossing my fingers that we can finally do the interview we have been talking about since last year. She also has the cutest shirts!

To Katyuska, thank you so much for all the love and support you've given me. I really do hope I get to meet you one day and give you a big hug. You always make me smile with your posts and pictures. Keep being amazing and don't stop being you!
