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: Amie Lynn's Vincent Valentine!

Amie Lynn definitely has so much talent and love for the cosplays she makes and I just HAD to feature this recent cosplay she made for Anime Expo (I think?). Also because it captures my Final Fantasy 7 feels. Here, Amie is cosplaying straight up as everyone's favorite loner/brooding pseudo-vampire Vincent Valentine. Literally there's so much here that Amie got right that I'm fan-girling at these pictures. From the long red tattered cape, to the many belts adorned on it alongside her bodysuit. The infamous golden claw and shoe armor looks perfect. Seeing the progress pictures of these specifically was a treat to see. Amie's wig is perfect as well, and her facial expressions are practically dead on when it comes to Vincent who, if you know the character, shows very little expression in the games/movies.

The red fabric for the cape I'm betting has that semi rough feel to it. That's at least what I'm picking up based on the photos here. The golden parts are most likely done with Worbla and Amie managed to construct them to have her hand moveable! If I remember correctly, Amie didn't have time to make Vincent's famous gun Cerberus and went with a common pistol instead. That's perfectly fine by me since I'm mainly captivated by the rest of the cosplay. The belt placements on the cape is just perfect and I love how loose some of them are, which is fantastic in staying true to the character.

The fiery red contacts are a nice touch here too! The corset like top part of the suit fits her well and the black leggings certainly help with her maneuvering around I bet. Amie's got that stoic look in all of the pictures I have for you which again, is completely in character. This is definitely one cosplay I want to see in person. Enjoy the other pictures guys :D
