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: Vampy Bit Me.



Cosplayer Vampy Bit Me is certainly one interesting woman. From first glance at looking at her posts, you'd think she's a metal head totally into weird goth stuff and such. Firstly you wouldn't be wrong, she's DEFINITELY a metal head. However behind that exterior is one of the most sweet and positive cosplayers I've met EVER! Linda has incredible standards for her cosplays and has an absolute joy in the creation process. Cranking out cosplays left and right, sometimes more than one at a time! Seeing her tweet out the late hours working on her cosplays is mind blowing and a bit crazy. I've had the pleasure of meeting Linda on several occasions and she has such a delightful personality. Loving my cosplays and always with a smile. I just feel bad that I haven't had the ability to spend more time in conversation with her!

 What I mostly love is following her Twitter adventures. On top of posting her cosplay days, Linda also gives the best advice, both cosplay wise and life! She also is rarely negative/mean it's like...girl do you GET MAD? The positivity she sends out is incredibly refreshing for the cosplay community. ALSO SHE LIKES NIGHTWING AS MUCH AS ME YAYYYYYY!! Sorry had to get that out there! Her cosplays push her skill level to the max and Linda is always enjoying learning a new material or technique.

She's covered so many genres from games, comics to anime. I can only hope to get on the level she's at one day. Though I myself am unsure as to how much longer I'll be cosplaying. Life gets in the way you know? I plan on hopefully seeing her again at NYCC this year if she's in attendance and I NEED to get me one of her awesome Fiend or Fauxx Shirts! Maybe another print I don't know yet ^_^.

To Linda, thank you for being an immensely positive light for me both personally and cosplay wise. I've only experienced crazy amounts of cosplay work like you have on one prop and I hope you'll enjoy the next outfit i have done for NYCC this year. Keep on rocking girl, don't ever change <3
