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: Rachel Nycole's Tifa!

Yay new Cosplayer for today's feature! It's funny, the way I plan these is that I schedule them 2-3 weeks in advance. If you have been paying attention to the gaming world with E3 being over, then you may be aware that Square Enix's mega hit Final Fantasy was announced to be in development for the PS4. No I'm not talking about a port, more like full fledged HD graphics that rival what the Advent Children movie looked like! So it's perfect that I'm featuring the super cute Rachel Nycole as Tifa Lockhart! Rachel is over in Canada and I discovered her work through browsing on Instagram. Eventually I looked at her page and definitely wanted to feature one of her outfits. Tifa was the best choice since she looks amazing as her. As you can see from the picture above, this is Tifa's classic outfit. So the white tank top and suspenders are present.

There's also the addition of the black skirt that's attached to the suspenders. Rachel also has the arms covered perfectly with red gloves and silver armor pieces for her elbows. These look to be either Worbla or craft foam! I love how her red boots look, shiny and a perfect shade to compliment the lighter red shades for her gloves. The wig looks especially beautiful on Rachel and her facial expressions look so calm and serene. The poses seen in the photos are also very relaxed and she definitely looks to be ready for battle.

The lighting in the pictures make her face look soft and gentle which might be what Rachel was going for with these photos. There's lots other cosplays she's done that highlight the cute factor but it was much easier to write about this since I have had such a crush on Tifa in the past. The photos look absolutely beautiful! Enjoy them everyone!
